Zhan Yan was also stunned. He had to quickly go to Emperor Sheng An to confirm it.
He didn't hesitate any longer and ran away.
Xiao Rui went to perform the apprenticeship ceremony and didn't care about Zhan Yan's whereabouts.
At this moment, at the Huaiyang Marquis's residence, Ye Tianqing, with a face full of rage, slammed the tea bowl at the Huaiyang Marquis' feet and said, "You idiot, why can't you see the emperor? You've been begging for days, and he still refuses to see you?"
The Marquis of Huaiyang replied with a panicked look on his face: "Li Delu said he was not feeling well and was resting, but I clearly saw Zhan Yan and many court officials coming out of his imperial study. He just deliberately didn't want to see me!"
Ye Tianqing closed his eyes tightly. He was really angry after losing two of his carefully cultivated chess pieces in succession.
It’s all Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan’s fault!
If it weren't for these two people interfering, his plan would not have been destroyed so completely.
He quickly asked, "Where is Zhan Yan? Where is he now?"
The Marquis of Huaiyang replied tremblingly, "On the way here, he heard that today was the day that Right Prime Minister Xiao was bringing students from the Imperial College to assess students from the Charity Hall, so he hurried over with a young eunuch to watch the fun!"
Ye Tianqing was stunned: "What little eunuch? Which palace is he from?"
The Marquis of Huaiyang shook his head. "I haven't found out about that. There are so many young eunuchs in the palace. Who knows which one the emperor sent?"
Ye Tianqing paced back and forth a few times. After a moment, a cold look suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He spoke without hesitation: "I know, no wonder the emperor refused to see you, it turns out he was not in the palace at all, Li Delu was just helping him cover up!"
The Marquis of Huaiyang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He stammered, "No, no, it can't be possible. How can the emperor leave the palace without permission?"
Ye Tian raised his eyebrows sarcastically: "Why not? Don't forget, the students of the Imperial College are his disciples. How could he miss this competition?"
The Marquis of Huaiyang vehemently denied it: "Impossible! The Emperor leaving the palace is a serious matter. He would never take such a risk!"
Ye Tianqing reached out and patted his shoulder: "Marquis Huaiyang, wake up a little. Haven't you guessed it yet? Why did the emperor punish Concubine De and send Ye Ling to the top of Hongshan Mountain?"
The Marquis of Huaiyang gritted his teeth and replied, "Isn't it because they made mistakes?"
Ye Tianqing sneered coldly: "Don't deceive yourself. In fact, you know better than anyone that the emperor has already suspected the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion and the Ye family!"
A fierce struggle flashed in Huaiyang Hou's eyes. He hugged Ye Tianqing's arm and begged, "Stop it. The emperor is only suspicious now. He hasn't got any solid evidence yet. Let's not provoke him again. You go back to Lingnan City, and I can be an idle marquis. Isn't that good?"
Ye Tianqing raised his hand and slapped him hard on the face: "Wake up! Do you think that if you stop now, the emperor will let the Du family and the Ye family go? He will only boil the frog in warm water and wear us down bit by bit!"
A look of determination suddenly flashed across the face of the Marquis of Huaiyang. He asked in a trembling voice, "Then what are you going to do?"
Ye Tianqing said with a cold expression: "Kill!"
"You send all your captive assassins out to assassinate the Emperor and Zhan Yan, and I will order several court officials to meet with the Emperor and make public the fact that he left the palace without permission. That way, whether he's dead or alive, Zhan Yan, the culprit who took him out, will not survive!"
Marquis Huaiyang's cheeks trembled violently with excitement. He knew better than anyone that if this plan succeeded, the entire Sheng Dynasty would fall into civil strife.
By then, Ye Tianqing will definitely become the strongest successor with his strong foundation.
As long as he becomes the new emperor of Sheng Dynasty, the status of Huaiyang Marquis Mansion will rise and become the new noble of the dynasty.
However, what if it fails!
All bets are off!
The entire Huaiyang Marquis Mansion will be destroyed in an instant and there will be no chance of recovery.
He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "You asked me to send out all my assassins. Have you ever thought about how to escape unscathed if we fail?"
Ye Tianqing sighed helplessly: "Marquis Huaiyang, which emperor in every dynasty didn't win the throne through bloodshed? Even the emperor, didn't he slaughter several of his brothers?"
He paused and continued, "If this succeeds, it will only benefit you, not harm you at all. I promise you that when I become emperor in the future, your sister will be the only woman in my harem, and her son will be the future crown prince!"
The expression of the Marquis of Huaiyang instantly eased a lot. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will send someone to call out all the assassins!"
Ye Tianqing warned: "Don't hold back any more, we must seize this great opportunity. Even if we lose our assassins, we can still raise more!"
Marquis Huaiyang said nothing more, turned around and walked out quickly.
Looking at his back, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Ye Tianqing's eyes.
He whispered, "Your Majesty, I thought I would have to wait a while before I had the chance to attack you, but you handed the butcher knife to me with your own hands. If I don't kill you, I'd be sorry for taking the initiative!"
After a moment's silence, he quickly raised his voice and shouted, "Someone come!"
A man in black landed in front of him. He whispered a few words to him, and the man in black took the order and left.
A cunning smile instantly appeared on Ye Tianqing's face. He clenched his fists and said, "No matter whether this succeeds or not, the ultimate winner will be me, Ye Tianqing!"
At this moment, Zhan Yan in the carriage was staring at Emperor Sheng An with a complicated expression: "What? You didn't bring your secret guards?"
Confused, he asked, "Why bring secret guards? Aren't we leaving the palace secretly?"
Zhan Yan interrupted without hesitation: "Your Majesty, how confident are you in the capital under your rule? Wanwan was assassinated a few days ago, and Li Youde is still lying on the couch, unable to get up. You haven't taken this bloody lesson to heart at all, right?"
Emperor Sheng An quickly comforted him: "Let's just go out for a while, it should be fine. Isn't the competition over now? Then let's go back!"
Zhan Yan did not dare to hesitate. Since the emperor did not bring any secret guards, he had to return to the palace quickly.
He quickly ordered: "Shadow Soul, hurry up!"
The shadow soul outside responded, and the carriage started to gallop away.
Emperor Sheng An was so dizzy from being shaken that he grabbed Zhan Yan's arm and said, "Tell him to run slower, slower, I'm about to vomit!"
Zhan Yan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about this: if something happens to you following me, will I still have a way to survive?"
Emperor Sheng An muttered with a guilty conscience, "It can't be such a coincidence, right? Besides, our whereabouts are secret, no one will notice that I left the palace!"
Zhan Yan's heart suddenly started beating wildly. As a military general, he knew what this meant.
He quickly tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, secretly thanking his lucky star that Lin Yiwan did not go back with him this time.
Otherwise, she would also be in danger.
He said quickly, "Your Majesty, no matter what happens later, you must hide in the carriage and don't come out. Do you understand?"
