Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1539: Chapter 1539: Really Anxious

Before, he had already tested his skills with the poison in his hands, and the results were alarmingly good.

So now, he had to consider how to deal with those people who most deserved his attention, to think carefully about who he could dispose of directly and who he might still persuade to abandon the darkness and seek the light.

“Tonight, the Xia Residence should not be left standing,” he said ominously.

With Xia Junfeng in the Xia Residence, there was inevitably a complicit relationship with that rebellious Third Brother.

If he left the Xia Residence intact, it would only be detrimental to him; it was necessary to let it go, to deter the fickle and prevent them from acting rashly.

But just as he had finished speaking, the tightly closed door was violently kicked open from the outside.

The old emperor instantly looked up at the newcomer.

“You…”

When he saw Qian Jiyun and Eldest Brother Yan, he was shocked.

Wasn’t Qian Jiyun supposed to deal with the Luoyang-Shao family? Why had he returned at this time?

“Father, you really stop at nothing, don’t you? Isn’t the death of so many people enough? Now you even want to destroy the Xia family? Why not just kill everyone in the palace while you’re at it?”

Eldest Brother Yan’s cold gaze fixed on the old emperor as he asked him.

“You—”

The old emperor was momentarily rendered speechless.

To kill everyone in the palace, was this an intention to take his life?

“What nonsensical talk! Xia family, Third Brother, you grow bolder by the minute! This is my sleeping quarters, who allowed you to burst in without announcement?”

“Whether I’m spouting nonsense, you know very well in your heart, Father,” Eldest Brother Yan said, his face devoid of warmth, beyond any expectation from the old emperor.

Initially, he had thought that if all power were taken from his hands, it might cure the old emperor’s callousness towards human life, but now it seemed utterly fruitless.

“Father, do you truly wish to back your son into a corner, to lock you away completely?”

“How dare you!”

Hearing these words, the old emperor was truly anxious.

Being locked away completely meant all affairs of the outside world would become unconnected to him.

“You’ll see if I dare!”

Eldest Brother Yan stepped forward, glaring at the old emperor.

He wondered, had he not come with the Second Brother today, had he not heard what the old emperor was muttering to himself, would the Xia family have ended up like those people who had died?

“Big brother, don’t be too hasty,” Qian Jiyun cautioned Eldest Brother Yan, who was visibly agitated.

Even though he had felt like killing the old emperor upon hearing his words just a moment ago, the time was not right.

“Your Majesty, the imperial edict has already been issued, has it not?” he stepped forward and asked, staring at the old emperor.

“What… what imperial edict?”

The old emperor was taken aback, slightly perplexed by Qian Jiyun’s words.

The imperial edict for abdication? Hadn’t he already surrendered it? However, the edict alone was useless; the Third Brother needed to show some political achievements first.

“Of course, the edict you issued for General Qi to win over the Suxi Army, along with the… Tiger Talisman,” Qian Jiyun said.

“You—”

The old emperor’s heart skipped a beat.

He had thought his plan quite clever, to fully take control of the Suxi Army first and then slowly strategize.

But now it seemed…

“The Qee Family has conspired with you too?”

What else was there to misunderstand? All of this had probably been within Qian Jiyun’s expectations.

He could never have imagined that the Qee Family, after so many years of decline, could still establish ties with Qian Jiyun. When exactly had this happened?
