“I don’t think there’s a need to examine the situation. We’ll kill Master Shao in front of the old Emperor and have the concubine bring us to Luoyang to destroy the Luo family. At the same time, we can assert dominance over the old Emperor,” An Jiuyue suggested.
She wanted the old Emperor to see how Luoyang-Shao family, whom he thought could provide him enough power to help him reclaim everything, could last against them.
He would be willing to give up the throne after that, right?
“I want to do that, but we’ll have to see what Eldest Brother wants to do,” Qian Jiyun said.
An Jiuyue paused at the mention of Eldest Brother Yan.
They were merely supporting players in this matter. What Eldest Brother Yan wanted to do and how he planned to deal with the Luoyang-Shao family were most important.
But regardless, it would not stop them from entering the palace to watch this good show.
Eldest Brother Yan’s guard in the Third Prince Residence also told him about the Luoyang-Shao family.
“So many people came?”
After all, he had been in the capital and had received more information than Qian Jiyun. Aside from the elites, he also learned that the head of the Shao family in Luoyang had assembled all the remaining members of the Shao family in the capital.
“Is he planning to do something big? Where is he now?”
“He entered the palace after leaving through a secret passage in the Prince Luoyang Residence,” the guard replied.
Master Shao had entered the palace? It was good to hear. Eldest Brother Yan sneered loudly.
He wanted to see if the old Emperor would become so infuriated that he would vomit blood after his most trusted person betrayed him.
Master Shao did not enter the palace to save him like the old Emperor. He definitely had other motives.
And what other motive could there be besides pursuing that lofty position?
He wanted to see how his father would treat Master Shao. Would he scold him for being an ingrate or hand over the throne obediently?
“Since he has entered the palace, he won’t be able to leave.”
He shared the same thoughts as An Jiuyue. Since Master Shao had already entered the palace, what was the point of leaving?
He did not think he needed to kill Master Shao by compiling all of his offenses, convicting him in front of all the ministers and commoners, and executing him publicly.
How many people had Master Shao killed in secret? People like him should die for no reason. As for the Luoyang-Shao family, he would naturally punish them with nine familial exterminations.
“Go and make arrangements immediately. I want Master Shao to die in front of the Emperor!”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The guard did not even bat an eyelid when he heard that, as if it were only fitting.
He had also followed His Highness’s orders and looked into the Luoyang-Shao family for some time. The sins committed by the Shao family could not be forgiven even if they died without burial grounds.
Since Master Shao had a death wish, was there a need for hesitation?
However, Master Shao was quite competent. Eldest Brother Yan knew he had to be careful when sending people to kill him. He had to gather a few poison-detoxifying experts.
“Your Highness, will you be going there personally?”
The guard knew his prince well. He would definitely go in person to meet Master Shao, especially in front of the old Emperor.
“Yes, I’ll go take a look personally.” Eldest Brother Yan nodded.
