Chapter 1476: The Third Prince Entered the Palace

Since the old Emperor wanted to kill the Third Prince, he would help him.
“Is Father going to attack the Third Prince?”
“Will our people succeed with Prince Zhan Yun around?”
Master Shao’s two sons were not too optimistic about this plan.
They might not have known about the Third Prince’s relationship with Qian Jiyun before, but now that they knew he was friends with Qian Jiyun and even called him “brother,” how could he be someone with no schemes?
Even if they used poison, it would be difficult to handle someone like that, wouldn’t it?
“Prince Zhan Yun… deserves to die too!” Master Shao tapped his index and middle fingers on the table as he spoke in a deep voice.
Daqing Kingdom would belong to the Shao family sooner or later. Qian Jiyun had always commanded a large number of troops and even controlled Huayan Peak.
He had long disliked Qian Jiyun, so he might as well take this opportunity to get rid of him.
Master Shao’s two sons were speechless.
They thought their father made it sound too easy.
If Qian Jiyun was truly easy to handle, the old Emperor wouldn’t have allowed him to live all these years! He would probably torture him until there wasn’t a bone left in his body.
“Father, who are we sending to the capital this time?”
Master Shao was stunned for a moment. He sized up his two sons.
Although he wanted to attack Qian Jiyun, his sons were right. Qian Jiyun was not a pushover. Daqing Kingdom would be in chaos if he died.
Qian Jiyun did have a lot of troops under his command.
Unless he was willing to hand over all these troops?
Even so, Qian Jiyun’s soldiers would not stay idle if they heard about his death. Internal strife was inevitable.
“This is a little tricky. I’ll go personally.”
The more he thought about it, the more troublesome it seemed. He came up with a better solution.
They would not touch Qian Jiyun for the time being. They would start with the old Emperor and obtain the imperial edict.
As long as his grandson successfully ascended to the throne, everything else would be easy. He could slowly reduce Qian Jiyun’s military strength.
“Go and get ready. Choose the elites of the clan,” he instructed his sons.
He had to make the old Emperor hand over the imperial edict this time. The throne belonged to his grandson in the first place. Why would the old Emperor not hand it over?
Over the years, the Luoyang-Shao family had helped the old Emperor resolve many problems. He should have given the throne to them in return.
“Yes, Father,” Master Shao’s two sons replied in unison before leaving to gather people.
Meanwhile, Master Shao remained seated, his eyes narrowing as he calculated something.
Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue did not return with the children from Shang An Hall. However, soon after they arrived back at the Prince Zhan Yun Residence, they received news that the Third Prince had returned.
Moreover, the Third Prince entered the palace the next day. He revealed the cause of the Eldest Prince’s death and his murderer in front of all the civil and military officials.
The old Emperor could not kill his son with his own hands, so he instructed his subordinates to do it.
Even the shadow guards did not dare to kill the Eldest Prince openly. This responsibility fell upon a branch of the Luoyang-Shao family in the capital.
