Chapter 1461: Probably Wants to Silence the People

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Emperor wanted to kill Shang Ningshen, but everything would be fine if Shang Ningshen knew about it and escaped in advance, right?

“He wants to kill me?”

Shang Ningshen was stunned when he received the news.

He knew how vicious the Emperor of Daqing Kingdom was, but he never expected him to target him and kill him.

What was he thinking? Shang Ningshen’s father knew that he had come to Daqing Kingdom. If he died, there would definitely be a war between Daqing Kingdom and Shang Kingdom. They might even fight to the death.

Emperor Shang had been concerned that he could not find a reason to start a war. Did the Emperor of Daqing Kingdom not care about the lives of his people?

He turned to look at the guard beside him and instructed, “Go and find out what happened.”

“Your Highness, I can investigate, but shouldn’t we leave the palace first?”

The guard was willing to investigate the situation, but since the Emperor of Daqing Kingdom had already issued the command, Shang Ningshen must not stay here any longer.

He felt that Shang Ningshen should leave first before they investigated the situation.

“Yes, let’s go.” Shang Ningshen nodded and walked out of Qi Feng Hall.

Since the Emperor of Daqing Kingdom had issued the command, he had to leave quickly. He was only here to sow discord between the Emperor and Qian Jiyun. He did not want to die here.

After Qian Jiyun left the palace, he found Yan Nuo waiting for him outside.

Yan Nuo quickly approached him when he saw him. “Master, I received news that the old Emperor has just ordered shadow guards to Qi Feng Hall. He probably wants to silence the people inside.”

“Have you found out who’s inside?” Qian Jiyun asked.

“Shang Ningshen,” Yan Nuo replied.

They expected Shang Ningyi, but they were surprised to find Shang Ningshen instead.

An Jiuyue predicted that Shang Ningshen, whom they had always considered weak, was not a good person.

“Ha!” Qian Jiyun lowered his head and chuckled.

The old Emperor was really capable of anything.

Qian Jiyun had barely left before he issued the command to kill Shang Ningshen. Was he trying to start a war between Daqing Kingdom and Shang Kingdom?

“Get someone to bring Shang Ningshen to me. I want to meet him.”

“Yes, Master,” Yan Nuo replied and turned to leave.

Of course, they did not think that the old Emperor would kill Shang Ningshen because he was a scourge. He would definitely cause trouble for thousands of years.

Moreover, he knew that his master would not let Shang Ningshen die in Daqing Kingdom at this time. Even if the old Emperor’s men succeeded, they would still help secretly.

“Shang Ningshen?”

An Jiuyue also received the news in Qiongzhi Courtyard.

She was right. Shang Ningshen was even more terrifying than Shang Ningyi.

She muttered to herself, “I’m quite curious about what the people of Shang Kingdom are thinking. Why can’t they learn from Shang Ningluo’s example and be obedient? Do they really think they’re the smartest?”

“Probably.” A voice spoke from the outside.

An Jiuyue looked up at Qian Jiyun, who was striding towards her, and approached him.

“You’re back. How’s the situation in the palace?”

“We’ll wait for news from the old Emperor,” Qian Jiyun replied.

He believed that the old Emperor would ultimately compromise if he blocked all his paths.
