Chapter 1499: Would Not Die at the Old Emperor’s Whim

He had to use this method to deal with the old Emperor. Since the poison could control him, He would have to decide whether he wanted to live before starting any problems.

“Since everything is settled here, Jiuyue and I will set off for the Luoyang Residence tonight,” Qian Jiyun said.

“Alright. Have a safe journey.” Eldest Brother Yan knew that nothing would go wrong, but he still reminded them to be careful.

They had to be careful not only during the travel but also when they arrived at Luoyang Residence. The Luoyang-Shao family should not be underestimated.

“We will.” Qian Jiyun nodded and left with An Jiuyue.

Eldest Brother Yan glanced at the old emperor.

“Father, you should write the abdication edict quickly. The capital is too chaotic. I hope this can end as soon as possible.” With that, he left.

The old Emperor slammed his hands on the ground angrily and shouted, “Unfilial sons! They’re all unfilial sons!”

Why did he father a son like this? He was not even dead, but his son was already about to push him off the throne.

However, no one could stop the Third Prince. He had recruited most of the ministers. The old Emperor was really alone!

He once believed Prince Luoyang was a considerate child; he never expected him to be ambitious and vicious.

“They’re all unfilial sons. I shouldn’t have let them live back then! They should have all died!”

Why did he keep these unfilial sons alive? They would only cause trouble for him and snatch his throne. What was the point of keeping them alive?

“Your… Your Majesty…”

The eunuch looked at the old Emperor and did not dare to go forward. He stood aside, trying to minimize his presence and avoid catching the old Emperor’s attention.

He would not have dared to stay here if he did not have to wait on them.

Fortunately, the Third Prince controlled the entire palace. Even if the old Emperor wanted to kill someone, the final decision rested with the Third Prince.

He was, after all, the Chief Eunuch. He would not die at the old Emperor’s whim.

“Get lost! Get lost!”

The old Emperor glared at his frightened eunuch and chased him out.

He felt like everyone around him looked like they were sent by the Third Prince to watch him, especially this eunuch, who could spend even more time watching him.

The eunuch did not want to stay either. Upon hearing the old Emperor’s words, he ran out quickly.

“To Luoyang Residence?”

After leaving the palace, An Jiuyue looked up at Qian Jiyun.

“Let’s return to our residence first. We’ll set off tonight,” Qian Jiyun replied softly. He picked her up and returned to the Prince Zhan Yun Residence in a flash.

“Hey, you…”

Eldest Brother Yan rushed over but could not stop them in time.

He wanted them to be more careful. The Luoyang Residence had always been the Shao family’s territory. The old Emperor had indulged them.

When one was distant from authority, powers would not intervene—this perfectly described the Luoyang Residence.

Although it was not far from the capital, it was a prefecture that was even harder to control than the border.

However, Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue were already gone before he could remind them. He could only sigh and instruct someone to detain Prince Luoyang. Even if he wanted to punish him, he had to wait for the situation to settle down first. Prince Luoyang was not acting alone.

“Pay more attention to the Luoyang Residence,” he instructed the guard behind him.
