Chapter 82
A week later, the emperor of Qin State collapsed.

Tong Yao and Mo Wuyan managed secretly, helped the three-year-old seventeenth prince to the throne, and imprisoned the other princes who failed to win the heir apparent, the two ignored the entanglement between Wei Zhaoyi and Feng Qingcheng, secretly He hurried back to the capital of Dayue.

Within a month, such a rumor spread from the imperial city to all parts of Dayue Kingdom:

After seizing the throne, the first emperor felt ashamed, so he handed over a jade plaque that could represent him to the former prince.If the prince of the previous dynasty appeared with the jade tablet, the country would change hands.

The rumors had spread to such an extent that it was impossible to ignore that even many officials believed them to be true.

On the night when Wei Zhaoxun ordered that those who spread the rumors punish his nine clans, Tong Yao and Mo Wuyan sneaked into Wei Zhaoxun's bedroom.

Wei Zhaoxun finally woke up from his sleep when the piercing cold feeling was on his neck.

"Come on, there are assassins!"

"Help me!"

He shouted a few words in horror, even his voice became sharp and harsh.

Outside the dormitory, there was no movement.

It was eerily quiet.

Wei Zhaoxun began to tremble. He looked at the two people who were wearing casual clothes without any cover.

He shifted his gaze to the familiar nursery rhyme, and the words he spoke had obvious trills,
"Yaoyao, what do you want to do, what to do..."

"Forcing the palace." Tong Yao compared the dagger on his neck, "Can't you see such an obvious thing?"

"Tongyao, this is a serious crime against the Nine Clans!" Wei Zhaoxun's face was solemn, and his voice was full of majesty. At this time, he had the posture of an emperor.

However, obviously, the two people standing in front of him at this time did not take him seriously at all.

The smile on the corner of Mo Wuyan's mouth did not change, and when he looked at Wei Zhaoxun, his face was calm.

As for the nursery rhyme, she directly smeared a bloodstain on Wei Zhaoxun's neck with her hand.

"Then you can give it a try. Is it my dagger that is faster, or your imperial decree that wants to kill me, cousin~"

Perhaps it was because of the strong pain, or because he already knew that he could not threaten these two people at all, Wei Zhaoxun finally felt truly afraid.

It wasn't the fear of waking up to find a dagger on his neck.

It's the fear that has been entrenched in my heart for a long time, born of these two people.

"You guys, what do you want..."

Wei Zhaoxun closed his eyes tiredly and helplessly, and gave up all resistance.

Tong Yao raised the corners of her lips slightly, and withdrew the dagger.

"Cousin really understands current affairs," Tong Yao said, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in the dormitory, hitting her directly.

"Ah!" Tong Yao exclaimed.

After exclaiming, a row of dark palace guards in black appeared in the bedroom.

Wei Zhaoxun scrambled and hid behind the hidden guard, and when he looked at Tong Yao, he regained his previous momentum, "Now I'm going to arrest you, for my aunt's sake, Tong Yao, I'll leave you as a dead body."

Tong Yao dodged another killer move by the hidden guards, and there was still no tension on his face, "Cousin, you don't think that the hidden guards of the palace really only listen to your orders, do you?"

"What do you mean..." Before Wei Zhaoxun finished speaking, his eyes widened because he was too shocked.

Because in Mo Wuyan's hand, he took out the jade tablet that could represent the late emperor.

After a moment of silence, all the hidden guards of the palace put down their weapons and knelt down in the direction of Mo Wuyan.

"The secret guard of the palace was created by my uncle. When there is no jade card, only the emperor is guarding it. However, once the jade card is issued, the person who wins the jade card will be the secret guard of the palace."

"Cousin, you are still too naive."
