Chapter 139 Stabbing that old hag Xiao Xiangxiang to death
Ye Erxiao feigned shock and immediately ordered, "Nonsense! Guards, investigate this matter thoroughly and find out who is so audacious as to poison my imperial brother!"
Not long after, a group of guards escorted in a trembling eunuch.
"Your Majesty, we have found the person who poisoned us."
Without hesitation, Ye Erxiao ordered, "Drag him away and beat him to death with sticks."
"Yes." The guards immediately carried out the order and dragged the little eunuch away.
Ye Jiuchen's lips curled into a mocking smile as he coldly stared at Ye Erxiao, thinking to himself, "This show is truly spectacular!"
"Clap clap clap clap..." Ye Jiuchen slowly stood up, clapping his hands together, making a crisp sound.
"Brilliant, truly brilliant. They just need to find someone to take the blame... Your Majesty, this is truly brilliant." Ye Jiuchen's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain and anger.
"How dare you, Ye Jiuchen! You are a subject, and the prince is the emperor. Although you are brothers, you are far too lawless." The Empress Dowager stood up, looking at Ye Jiuchen with icy eyes, her tone filled with authority and anger.
"Guards! The Regent Prince has shown contempt for imperial authority and disrespect for his elders. From this day forward, remove him from his post and reclaim his military power!" the Empress Dowager shouted, her voice echoing throughout the hall.
"This..." Everyone was shocked and looked at the Empress Dowager, secretly surprised.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" The Left Chancellor hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. He knew Ye Jiuchen's strength and influence well, and removing him from his position easily would likely cause turmoil in the court.
However, Lu Yanchen coldly observed the Empress Dowager, sighing inwardly. This empire was probably doomed soon; otherwise, he might as well take his entire family and flee.
Upon receiving their orders, the Imperial Guards prepared to escort the Regent. They cautiously approached Ye Jiuchen, gripping their weapons tightly, their expressions tense.
Emperor Ye Erxiao wanted to stop it, but he chose to remain silent. He wanted to see just how capable Ye Jiuchen was and whether he could handle this crisis.
Just then, a dark shadow flashed by, and An Ye rushed in. Then, hundreds of elites descended from the sky. They were dressed in black, holding sharp weapons, and surrounded Ye Jiuchen menacingly.
An elite figure flashed, rushing towards the Empress Dowager like a ghost, and instantly seized her.
"My son..." The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor in horror, wanting to beg for help.
At the same time, another elite acted swiftly, capturing the emperor in the blink of an eye.
"How dare you... Regent..." The Yuan family patriarch shouted angrily upon seeing this, "Regent, are you plotting a rebellion?"
"Patriarch Yuan, have you lost your mind? Which eye of yours saw me rebelling? I was clearly protecting myself; I am the victim." Ye Jiuchen sat there leisurely, completely unfazed by the scene before him, as if everything was under his control.
"Ye Jiuchen, he's kind of handsome!" Dongfang Wan'er said softly to Ye Jiuchen, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
This family is truly wicked. First, they poisoned Ye Jiuchen, then they plotted assassinations multiple times. This time, they were supposedly welcoming Ye Jiuchen, but it turned out to be a trap. However, the emperor's sudden death will likely affect Ye Jiuchen's reputation.
“Ninth Brother, I am the current Emperor! How can you do this? Do you have any respect for me? How can you face our deceased father?” Ye Erxiao had no choice but to play the family card.
"Father? How dare you mention Father! If it weren't for the fact that we are all Father's sons, you would have been dead ten times over! This time, the Empress Dowager actually tried to depose me and confiscate my military power. Did she ask if the elite team that Father bestowed upon me agreed?" Ye Jiuchen walked up the steps one by one, looking down at Ye Erxiao with cold indifference and majesty in his eyes.
Ye Erxiao was stunned by Ye Jiuchen's gaze, and felt a chill run down her spine.
"Your Majesty, immediately order the execution of Ye Jiuchen!" The Empress Dowager Xiao Xiangxiang, who was being held captive, remained defiant and refused to admit defeat.
"Heh..." Ye Jiuchen let out a contemptuous sneer. He casually picked up the sword of Elite One beside him and stabbed it at the Empress Dowager's body without hesitation.
"Ah..." The Empress Dowager stared wide-eyed at the sword piercing her body in disbelief, and painfully raised her head to look at Ye Jiuchen.
"You...you..." The Empress Dowager was unable to speak due to the excruciating pain and finally collapsed helplessly.
"Mother! Ye Jiuchen, how dare you... Ye Jiuchen..." Ye Erxiao's eyes were bloodshot as she roared at the top of her lungs, but she dared not move her body at all, for fear that if she moved even slightly, this madman Ye Jiuchen would stab her.
"Queen Mother..."
"Queen Mother..."
The emperor's cronies all stared wide-eyed at Ye Jiuchen with fury...
Ye Jiuchen's henchmen, on the other hand, watched all of this with indifferent expressions.
"Mother!" The Empress rushed over and pressed her hand tightly against the wounds on the Empress Dowager's body.
"Ninth Brother..." the Empress called softly, but for a moment she didn't know how to begin, after all, they were indeed in the wrong this time...
"Imperial Physician! Quickly, summon the Imperial Physician!" the Empress cried anxiously to those around her.
However, no one dared to make any rash moves.
Dongfang Wan'er was also stunned by Ye Jiuchen's amazing actions. How could this guy be so crazy?
Ye Jiuchen coldly tossed aside the sword in his hand, his voice icy: "Go and summon the imperial physician. I don't want to be branded as an unfilial son."
He turned to look at Ye Erxiao, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery: "My position as regent was given to me by my father. No one has the right to revoke my position or take back my military power. Even the throne was given to you by me. Xiao Xiangxiang, today is a lesson for you. Don't try to cause trouble. You're very unlucky."
Ye Jiuchen's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Ye Erxiao's heart. Ye Erxiao's face turned pale, her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
Ye Jiuchen continued, "Brother, do you think I'm right? Putting aside the fact that this position was given to me by Father, the fact that I've been guarding the border for so many years is why you can sit in this position so securely. If I'm not happy, you won't be able to hold this position for long. So, don't think that just because you're the emperor you can do whatever you want. I can remove you from the throne at any time."
Upon hearing this, Ye Erxiao was filled with fear and despair. He realized that he had truly angered Ye Jiuchen this time, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yes, yes, Ninth Brother is right, I understand..." Ye Erxiao completely gave in. He knew that after today, the ministers would also look down on him, and his reign as emperor was over.
Looking at Ye Erxiao's disheveled appearance, Ye Jiuchen couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He wanted to make Ye Erxiao understand who the real strongman was and who had the right to control this world.
