“Force him to abdicate?” Yan Nuo’s face paled.

He had been wondering why Master Shao suddenly came here. Did he suspect that the Third Prince would force the Emperor to abdicate? Was that why he followed suit and sought to force the old Emperor to pass the throne to Prince Luoyang?

Perhaps he really wanted to gain control over all the important ministers in the imperial court?

“Master, we…”

“Keep an eye on the Prince Luoyang Residence. Don’t let anyone out,” Qian Jiyun instructed with a cold expression on his face.

An Jiuyue retrieved a few porcelain bottles from her space and placed them on the table.

“Take these antidote pills and distribute them to everyone. You’ll be immune to poison for 10 days after consuming the pills.”

“Thank you, Mistress.” Yan Nuo immediately took the porcelain bottles.

With these antidote pills, would they still fear the Luoyang-Shao family? If anyone dared to leave the Prince Luo Yang Residence, they would kill them without giving them any chance to breathe!

“Wait, come back!” An Jiuyue stopped Yan Nuo when she saw that he was about to leave.

“Mistress, do you have any other instructions?” Yan Nuo stopped and turned to look at An Jiuyue.

“Although I said that the antidote pills would provide immunity to poison, there’s always someone more skilled. I don’t know much about the Luoyang-Shao family either. I don’t know how strong their poison is. You have to be careful,” An Jiuyue cautioned him.

They had better not act like kites without strings after receiving her pills. That would not end well.

“I understand. I’ll make sure they pay attention,” Yan Nuo replied. He had never underestimated the Luoyang-Shao family.

How could he underestimate a family that even the old Emperor feared and sought to curry favor with?

After Yan Nuo left, An Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun and asked with a smile, “Jiyun, what do you think was the first thing Master Shao did upon entering the capital?”

“Discuss with his grandson how to force the Emperor to abdicate,” Qian Jiyun replied bluntly.

“Prince Luoyang sure is bold.” An Jiuyue smiled even more happily.

Prince Luoyang always acted lawlessly because the old Emperor favored him.

He did not even consider that the old Emperor had several legitimate sons—how could the throne ever belong to him? Did he truly believe that just because his father was the Emperor, he could decide who would inherit the throne however he pleased?

Not only would the princes object, but many ministers would also oppose the old Emperor’s decision.

“Of course he’s bold. He’s been secretly growing several forces over the years and relying on the Luoyang-Shao family’s financial resources. He’ll probably be able to use them now.”

Qian Jiyun narrowed his eyes.

However, he did not have to care about this. If Eldest Brother Yan could not manage this situation, he would not be brothers with him.

“Are you tired? If you’re not, shall I bring you to the palace to watch a good show after noon?” he asked.

“Why would I be tired?” An Jiuyue asked him with a smile.

She had not even refined any medicinal pills today and had only been sitting here.

“If there’s a good show to watch, how can I miss it? Are you going to take down Master Shao in the palace?”

“That depends.” Qian Jiyun shook his head.

The main concern was that once word of Master Shao’s trouble here got out, the Luoyang-Shao family would definitely prepare themselves. He hoped to catch them off guard instead.

The Shao family was too vicious. They definitely had plenty of poison prescriptions. They must not exist anymore. They had to be destroyed.
