He had wanted to spare Qian Jiyun temporarily to find out where the treasure was hidden.

Now it seemed unnecessary. If Qian Jiyun were kept around any longer, he would truly be able to lead his own troops and disregard everyone else.

He even suspected that Qian Jiyun could take over the throne whenever he wanted.

Soon, everyone around the imperial study was cleared. The old Emperor’s shadow guards were already lying in ambush, waiting for the eunuch to bring Qian Jiyun so they could capture him in one fell swoop.

“Your Majesty, are you really going to do this? Prince Zhan Yun isn’t easy to deal with,” the chief of the shadow guards asked softly.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

Could he capture Qian Jiyun without reinforcements in the palace?

He was confident. As long as the shadow guards in the imperial palace wanted to stop someone from leaving, they would not be able to leave.

However, Qian Jiyun was not a fool. How could he not have thought of this?

He knew this but still entered the palace alone. If the eunuch did not manage to bring him in, it would be one thing. But if he did, it would be suspicious. Did Qian Jiyun feel so confident that they were no match for him?

“You want to retreat?” The old Emperor narrowed his eyes at the chief of the shadow guards dangerously.

At this point, he had to take Qian Jiyun’s life. He would kill whoever dared to retreat!

“I wouldn’t dare.” The chief of the shadow guards immediately knelt down and denied it.

They were the Emperor’s shadow guards. Once the Emperor gave the command, he would spare no effort to kill the target.

“I will do my best to kill Prince Zhan Yun.”

“I don’t want your best; I want Qian Jiyun’s head. Put it on my table. Do you understand?” The old Emperor was dissatisfied with his words and ordered sternly.

So what if the chief did his best? The Emperor wanted the shadow guards to kill Qian Jiyun, even if it meant they had to sacrifice.

Besides, this was the palace. How could he let Qian Jiyun escape on his territory? He was already like a cooked duck. If he still escaped, these shadow guards would be useless.

“Yes, I understand. I will definitely kill Prince Zhan Yun and offer his head to you, Your Majesty.”

The old Emperor was satisfied.

“Very well. Go and make arrangements.”

“I’ll take my leave.” The chief of the shadow guards left.

Qian Jiyun followed the eunuch to the imperial study.

He sneered internally as he approached the study. Did the Emperor think he was a pushover to try killing him so openly?

Why were there so many shadow guards lying in ambush around the imperial study?

How crazy was the old Emperor?

Did he do the same to the Eldest Brother Yan? He tricked him into entering the palace and then attacked him! How could he escape if this happened to him?

But Qian Jiyun was really overthinking things. The old Emperor did not cause so much trouble for Eldest Brother Yan.

Upon receiving news from Shang Ningshen, he immediately ordered the shadow guards to enter the Third Prince’s residence to arrest him. He wanted to charge the Eldest Prince with killing the Empress Dowager, but he changed plans.

It became charging the Third Prince for killing the Eldest Prince instead.
