"Killing is the lowest level way to solve the problem." Yu Linlang sighed, "I don't want to use it unless it's absolutely necessary."

Conquering by force and attacking by dimensionality reduction are so boring.

She hoped that the emperor would be sensible and consider that he would die soon and everything would be negotiable.

Compared to the queen who was panicking and screaming, the emperor was relatively calm at this time.

Just hearing Yu Linlang's words about deposing the queen, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Yu Hu, do you know what you are talking about? Deposing the queen is not a joke. It concerns the fate and future of the country. I cannot make the decision on my own."

"Emperor, you must be so hypocritical. Deposing the empress is what you have always hoped for, isn't it? Now, I have handed the ladder to you, why are you still hesitating?"

"The Queen has colluded with the Fire Gun Clan and attempted to assassinate Your Majesty in the Imperial Study. Emperor, can you tolerate this? Are you a cuckolded old bastard?"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense." Queen Pei looked furious.

"Whether it is nonsense or not, the emperor has his own considerations. You just broke into the imperial study and brought so many people here. What is your intention? You know it in your heart."

"Do you want to kill the Jade Fox, or do you want to kill the Emperor along with the Jade Fox?"

"That's right. If you kill the emperor, your little bastard son will be able to ascend to the throne, and you will be the empress dowager, second only to the emperor and above everyone else!!"

“Shut up!!!!” The queen pulled out the phoenix hairpin on her head, raised it high and stabbed it towards Yu Linlang.

Yu Linlang fired back at her with a musket.

She just collected all these things, they are very useful. She will go back and find some more nests to use them. She can fight one against a hundred. It is a magical weapon.

The queen's arm was hit and she screamed "Ah!". Her arm fell limply to her side and the phoenix hairpin fell to the ground with a clang.

"Empress." Madam Zhuang was shocked. She supported the queen and glared at Yu Linlang with hatred. "Yuhu, you, you are a traitor and a treacherous villain. Your Majesty, please don't listen to her nonsense. The queen's love for you is clear to all."

Yu Linlang smiled and turned the musket in her hand, cast a glance at the emperor, and said coldly, "I will give the emperor three minutes. Ah, that is, one-fifth of a minute to think about it."

"Do you want to depose the queen and the crown prince, or do you want me to raze this place to the ground? It's up to you."

After he finished speaking, he casually raised his hand, and a group of people fell down behind Pei Su instantly, making a loud thud.

Pei Su turned around and found that his men had fallen down. He looked back again, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Emperor." Queen Pei felt inexplicably panicked. She knew the man beside her too well.

Compared to anything else, the emperor himself is the most important.

Now that Yu Hu's actions have endangered his life, he has already made a choice in his heart.

"Draft an edict." The emperor gritted his teeth and ordered, striding towards the burned-down imperial study.

Fude followed him with a trembling smile, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Yu Linlang.

The latter smiled in response, his eyes extremely deep.

"Your Majesty!" Queen Pei screamed miserably. She turned around to look at Yu Linlang, only to see that she had already jumped onto the roof with her men and nodded at her with a smile.

"I'll leave these small fry from your Pei family as a gift to the Queen. I'll take Old Duke Pei away for a while. Don't worry, I'll return after we leave the capital safely!"

"The food expenses of one thousand taels of silver a day have been taken from your Pei family. Queen Pei, there is no need to be so polite."

"Oh no, after today, the Pei family will no longer have a queen or a crown prince." Yu Linlang laughed loudly, turned around and led his men to quickly disappear into the dark night.

The queen raised her right hand with pointed fingers, which kept trembling. Finally, she could not bear the anger in her heart anymore, and she spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Yu Linlang returned to Su's house when it was almost dawn. She had slept a little earlier, so she was still in good spirits even though she had been restless all night.

Entering the house and closing the door, he turned his head and raised an eyebrow, "I thought you would at least wait until daybreak."

Mu Zhao was helpless, he stood up and walked to her, "How can I sit still at home when you make such a big noise?"

Yu Linlang chuckled, picked up the teacup and drank it all, then turned around and looked at him with bright eyes, "How about it? Are you interested in moving your family south with me to venture into the martial arts world?"

Mu Zhao's eyes moved slightly, "Do you think something big will happen in the capital?"

It's so easy to talk to smart people. Yu Linliang's eyes contained a glimmer of light, "Why don't you say that I was afraid and terrified, and I ran away from the capital with my tail between my legs like a stray dog?"

Mu Zhao laughed, "You are not such a reckless person. Since you did it, you must have your reasons."

Yu Linlang pulled him to sit down and said earnestly, "The emperor is about to die suddenly."

Even though he had an idea in mind, Mu Zhao's expression changed drastically, "What?"

"He won't live long. At most, he won't last more than five months." Yu Linlang turned her head to look at him. "The person behind the scenes placed the Imperial Master next to the Emperor, and he is eating away at his health day by day. Now, he is facing the point of running out of energy."

"What kind of elixir is this, Imperial Master?"

"Do you think there are elixirs in the world?" Yu Linlang laughed.

Even someone with such great powers like her would not make such a boast that she could extend someone's life by several years within three months. That was all nonsense.

“Human life span is limited.”

"People like you and I who practice martial arts may live many years longer than others, but... we will all return to dust in the end. The human body's functions will always decline at a certain point."

"The emperor has suffered from asthma, cough and migraine for many years, and it is unreliable that he suddenly got better."

"Originally, his life span was stretched to the limit. If he takes good care of himself, he might be able to live another 3567 years."

"Now, he is burning his inherent life."

"Don't be fooled by his good spirits now. Everything seems to be going well. But once the disease breaks out on a large scale, he will be dead and there will be no point in saving him."

"This is a person's destiny." Yu Linlang smiled, not caring at all.

"So Lang'er must change his position as crown prince right now."

She held his hand, "Huaizhi, what are your plans?"

"Wherever you go, I'll go."

"Although the country is relatively peaceful now, once the emperor dies suddenly, Da Qi will definitely fall into civil strife." Yu Linlang frowned, "Dongli is a small country, so we are not afraid of it, but Xichuan has had ambitions for a long time."

"Xichuan is unable to deal with it now, but the battle for the throne among the four princes has become increasingly intense. Once the throne is decided, it is hard to say what will happen next."

"Internal and external troubles alternate. If Da Qi is not at peace, the tribes in the western border will be the first to rebel. If you unite with Xichuan and march on the border, the new emperor's throne will be unstable, so you will have to be sent out to fight."

"Although the Sixth Prince is on good terms with us now, once a person reaches that position and his own interests are involved, he may change."

It's not that she is pessimistic, she is just telling the truth.

Never trust the man on the throne. (End of this chapter)
