Chapter 133: Survive From the Brink of Death

After suppressing his anger, Yan Chen ordered his men to go to Ren'an Palace.

"No antidote?" The queen mother, who was sitting on the phoenix couch, was originally full of hope. After hearing Yan Chen's words, her face suddenly changed. She could hardly believe what she heard, "The regent went to Zhuque City in person, but he didn't get the antidote?"

"The regent doesn't care about the poison in my mother and my son at all. Otherwise, with his ability and status, how could he not get the antidote?" Yan Chen's tone was still angry, and the cold murderous aura was faintly revealed, "He just wanted to wait for his son to die of the poison so that he could reap the benefits!"

The queen mother's eyebrows were shrouded in haze, and she held the armrest fiercely: "What did the uncle say?"

"Uncle hasn't come back yet." Yan Chen said in a light tone, " The regent meant that he should go first, and his uncle is still on the way. "

The queen mother's face was pale: "Issue an edict, and the two of them will rush to Zhuque City for 600 miles, ordering Yan Qing to come back immediately."

"What if she doesn't want to come back?" Yan Chen frowned, "The regent went to Zhuque City and returned empty-handed. Even if he issues another edict now, Yan Qing may not listen. "

"You are dying, let's see if she will come back!" The queen mother said coldly, "I don't believe that she is so cruel that she can watch her mother being tortured to death by poison and remain indifferent!"

Yan Chen's expression was gloomy and he said nothing.

The imperial city is thousands of miles away from Zhuque City. How can it be so easy to go back and forth? Yan Qing didn't even give the regent face, so what would happen if he sent someone else?

If she disobeyed the edict... She disobeyed the edict more than once or twice, and the imperial edict had no effect on him at all.

Yan Chen's eyes were cold: "Now that the Regent King can't be relied on, I can only think of a way myself."

The Queen Mother's eyebrows moved: "The Emperor means..."

"The Suzaku King and the Princess have joined forces to rebel, which is suspected of treason. The three kings of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise are ordered to send troops to encircle and suppress them, and capture the Suzaku King and the Princess." Yan Chen's tone was murderous, "Do you think this is feasible?"

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly: "Will the three vassal kings listen?"

"If they disobey the order, they will be conspiring with the Suzaku King." Yan Chen said The air became colder and colder. "How can the regent sit idly by while the vassal kings plot rebellion?"

"What if he really sits idly by and does nothing?"

"Then there is no need for him as the regent to exist." Yan Chen's eyes were grim, and the coldness in his eyes was calculating. "The rebellion of the four kings will cause turmoil at the least and overthrow the country at the worst. Once this news reaches the court, the ministers will force the regent to send troops to quell the rebellion without my speaking."

The queen mother leaned on the phoenix couch and thought carefully about the feasibility of this matter.

She was not without concerns in her heart. After all, the rebellion of the vassal kings was not a trivial matter, and the close relationship between the Suzaku King and the eldest princess could not be used as evidence of their rebellion. Once the other three vassal kings did not obey the will, the prestige of the monarch would be greatly reduced.

"Mother, there is no other way at the moment." Yan Chen said coldly, "Yan Qing does not listen to the imperial edict, and the regent also ignores my orders. If this continues, I don't know who else can be used in the court. I don't want to be controlled by the regent and Yan Qing anymore-"

"But if the situation gets out of control..." The queen mother showed a worried look, "Civil war is no joke."

"Put yourself in a desperate situation and then survive." Yan Chen said decisively, "If the other three kings obey the imperial edict, the Suzaku King and Yan Qing are no match at all, and defeat is a matter of time. If the three kings do not listen to the imperial edict, I will announce in the court that the four vassal kings have rebellious intentions, and let the regent send troops to eliminate the vassal kings."

The regent will deal with the four vassal kings at the same time?

The Queen Mother frowned, "What if the Regent King also refuses to obey my order?"

"Then let him hand over his military power and choose a suitable person to lead the army to suppress the rebellion." A deep look appeared on Yan Chen's face, "In this way, I can naturally take away his military power and remove the Regent King's regency power."
