I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

After the divine figure outside the window disappeared into the night, Dugu Aoyun looked at Jiang Linglong who was still pretending to cough and reminded her.

"The person has already left, there is no need to continue pretending!"

Just now, after they realized that there were ears on the other side of the wall and someone was eavesdropping, they began to act together with Commander Zhao just to show it to the other party.

Even without investigation, they knew who sent those two people.

Dugu Aoyun sat on a chair, eating snacks leisurely.

"I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble. I can just take action and get rid of the Flame King directly. In this way, won't the problem be solved completely?"

Jiang Linglong glanced at him and shook her head.

"If it's that simple, I can just ask my brother-in-law to help. Why should I put on a show here? Everything must be legitimate. If something happens to King Yan suddenly, it will definitely cause unrest in the court. By then, people will be panicked and there will be a lot of trouble!"

Dugu Aoyun didn’t understand, let alone comprehend it, so he didn’t say anything more.

The two grand masters who had eavesdropped went back and told King Yan everything they had overheard.

Upon learning this, King Yan was furious.

"I really didn't expect that Jiang Linglong actually took a fancy to that useless Prince Jing. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day. How can he accomplish anything? She actually wants him to become the ruler of the entire Great Zhou. If that happens, the entire Great Zhou will be finished!"

Seeing him so angry, one of the grand masters made a suggestion.

"Your Majesty, why don't we two go get rid of Prince Jing? If we do that, His Majesty will have no one to rely on and will definitely choose Your Majesty!"

King Yan immediately shook his head, denying his idea.

"There's no need. Prince Jing is just an incompetent loser. I don't have any deep hatred against him, so there's no need to do anything to him."

"Besides, maybe he will have other value in the future, so there's no need for me to do anything to him."

In the eyes of King Yan, King Jing was just an insignificant person and there was no conflict between the two of them. In addition, King Jing had always behaved well whenever he met him, so there was no need to attack him.

Besides, this matter was originally Jiang Linglong's idea. Why should I attack an innocent person?

Since there was indeed something wrong with her body, and it had even reached a point where it was irreversible, King Yan felt that it was time to take action.

He had been waiting for an opportunity before, and now that the opportunity had finally come, he was naturally very happy.

Perhaps, this is a godsend opportunity, and he takes the initiative to become the king of the Great Zhou!
Thinking of everything he would have in the future, King Yan couldn't control the upward curve of his lips and issued an order.

"Since this is a godsend opportunity, let's tell everyone to get ready. We will take action tomorrow!"

Inside the house, a figure flashed by and quickly disappeared.

He came and went without a trace, and no one noticed his presence at all.

Lu Yuan appeared in front of Jiang Linglong and told her King Yan's arrangements.

After hearing this, Jiang Linglong couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems like he really can't hold back any longer and is ready to take action so soon. I will naturally give him this opportunity."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Commander Zhao and gave instructions.

"Let King Yan bring his troops in tomorrow. Don't act rashly. Just hide yourself with your men!"

Having said that, Zhao Tingling was still worried.

"But your Majesty's safety..."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan continued.

"Don't worry, Linglong will be fine with me here!" Seeing him say that, Commander Zhao didn't say anything else and nodded in agreement.

He knew Lu Yuan's abilities, which were among the best. For her, protecting Jiang Linglong was not a difficult task at all.

The next day, morning.

King Yan then led his troops in and rushed in unhindered, with no one daring to stop them.

Wherever he passed, people knelt on the ground, not daring to resist at all.

Behind him were more than a dozen grand masters, and following them were elite soldiers and generals. If ordinary guards wanted to compete, they would simply be courting their own destruction.

They knew this very well and had no intention of disobeying it.

What's more, Jiang Linglong had already made arrangements in advance and told them exactly what to do, so they would not act rashly.

King Yan was in a good mood and came in easily.

He originally thought that he would have to delay for a while, but he didn't expect these people to surrender so quickly without him having to put in any effort at all.

On second thought, it seems normal.

When faced with so many elite soldiers and generals, all they could do was surrender. Doing anything else would only lead to their own destruction!

He had a smooth journey and arrived at Jiang Linglong's palace.

Before entering, the grandmaster beside him reminded.

"Your Majesty, something seems to be wrong. Why are there not so many people around you? Logically speaking, your Majesty shouldn't be so lax around you. Is there something wrong?"

Faced with the inquiry, King Yan disagreed and sneered.

"Do you think those servants are all idiots? They all knew that Jiang Linglong was dying. When they heard the news that I was coming, they must have hidden away. Who wants to go against the future new emperor?"

After hearing what he said, the Grand Master also felt that it made sense and nodded.

Then he walked forward, pushed the door open with force, and walked in with his people.

After entering, I found Commander Zhao kneeling under the bed, and Jiang Linglong on the bed looked pale, as if her life was about to come to an end.

Seeing her like this, King Yan sighed hypocritically, pretended to be distressed, and spoke.

"I really didn't expect that your health would deteriorate so quickly. I originally thought that you could hold on for a little longer, and maybe even see the day when I ascend the throne and become emperor. Now it seems that it is almost impossible!"

After these words were spoken, Jiang Linglong's expression became even uglier.

She looked at King Yan with an unfriendly expression.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that you have some evil thoughts?"

Her eyes widened when she saw the person he was carrying behind him.

"You want to rebel!"

The situation had come to this point and King Yan had nothing to hide, so he told the truth.

"You are wrong. I am not plotting rebellion, but this position should have been mine. You are just a woman. How can you sit in such a position?"

"You have ended up like this now because you are not worthy of your position. That is why you have suffered such a disaster. So you should just give up your position obediently!"

Hearing him say this, Commander Zhao couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, this is treason, you should be executed!" (End of this chapter)
