When he said he would take action, he meant he would pull the old Emperor off his throne.
“What’s the point of a mutiny in the capital?” Qian Jiyun snorted.
The southern and northern borders were thousands of miles apart. It would be too late to do anything there, so they were, of course, unreliable.
All they could do was support him.
“Have you captured the Xiaoting Guards and the Longhu Guards?” he asked.
“The Xiaoting Guards have always been under His Highness’s control. As for the Longhu Guards, General Sima is a fence sitter. His Highness believes that if he succeeds, the Longhu Guards will naturally side with him,” the man replied.
In fact, he found this quite risky. He felt that they should try to fight for control over the Longhu Guards. If necessary, they could also use some underhanded means.
Throughout history, those who rose to power always had blood on their hands.
Even during times of peace, they fought their way past their brothers. Being overly kind would not lead to great achievements.
“I’ll handle the Longhu Guards,” Qian Jiyun narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Sima Qing? He had plenty of weaknesses that could be used against him. Was there a need to be afraid he would remain a fence sitter?
“Go back now and have the Third Prince prepare his forces. Let’s cut through this chaos with a sharp blade,” he instructed the man.
“Yes, Prince Zhan Yun,” the man replied and turned to look at An Jiuyue. “Young Master, I’ll take my leave.”
“Mhm.” An Jiuyue nodded at him and watched him leave.
After the man left, she looked at Qian Jiyun.
“Why didn’t you ask about the Yulin Guards?”
Amongst the Three Guards in the capital, the Yulin Guards were the most formidable, followed by the Xiaoting Guards and the Longhu Guards.
She believed that they would only have a chance of winning if they gained control of the Yulin Guards.
“The Yulin Guards…” Qian Jiyun narrowed his silver eyes dangerously.
“I’ll send someone to take over,” he said.
An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.
He said he would send someone to take over. That meant he had someone among the Imperial Guards. However, the captain of the Yulin Guards was loyal to the old Emperor.
Hence, he had to send someone to forcibly replace the captain.
“Everyone feels rest assured when you handle things. Let’s go back first.” She nodded.
Qian Jiyun brought her back to the capital and into the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.
Xue Yingyue was on her last breath in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.
She never expected her master, whom she had been loyal to all her life, to send someone to kill her after she failed once.
She was caught off guard and swallowed the poison, leaving her with no chance to find the antidote.
“No, I can’t die. I still have to go to Wulong Mountain!”
She looked at Ling Ye, the maid she had always trusted, and could vaguely make out the sinister look on her face. She did not expect her to be working for the old Emperor.
“I trusted you so much that I wanted to take you to Wulong Mountain with me. How can you betray me?”
“Pft.” Ling Ye sneered.
“What’s so good about Wulong Mountain? Madam, you’ve been thinking about Wulong Mountain for so many years that your hair has turned white, right? But have ever gotten close to it?
“No! You’re only ever mentioned its name. Do you think someone like you can go to Wulong Mountain? Dream on!”
