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.
