"You are indeed an unstable factor, defying common sense!" After a moment of silence, Zhao Yarou had some lingering fear. She did not have any defenses just now, and Ye Lang's immediate attack could have been very dangerous for her.
In fact, she also understood that it was because of this that she had directly killed the emperor!
"Just because of this, even if you submit to me, I would still kill you! And because of this, your Ye family will also be buried. I won't allow such a threat to remain by my side!" Zhao Yarou was very decisive this time, making it clear that she intended to kill Ye Lang, whether out of personal grievances or to secure the throne.
“Why? If you want to be the emperor, just go ahead and be one. What does it have to do with me?” Ye Lang was a little puzzled, as he felt he hadn't hindered Zhao Yarou in any way.
"Do you really not mind?" Zhao Yarou asked, somewhat surprised.
"Mind what? It makes no difference who becomes the emperor, as long as they govern well and care for the people, regardless of whether they're perverted or scheming to seize power, they would make a good emperor! And as an emperor, one should be prepared to be killed, just like you!" Ye Lang said calmly.
Although this was a bit harsh, it was an undeniable fact. For the common people, nobles, and even ministers, as long as the emperor was a good one, they wouldn't care about his personal character or how he acquired the throne.
Even if they couldn't accept it at first, over time, it wouldn't matter to them!
"Then why did you oppose earlier? If not for you, none of this would have happened today!" Zhao Yarou looked at Ye Lang with gritted teeth.
"I did oppose, but would you have listened to me?" Ye Lang asked indifferently.
No!
It is believed that ninety-nine percent of the people in this place would have said so!
"I would! I do listen!" Zhao Yarou continued through clenched teeth. "Although you are foolish, every word you say is correct. Sooner or later, because of your words, my inheritance will disappear. So, I won't allow this to happen! I must be prepared in advance, and the best way is to directly seize the throne, at any cost!"
"In fact, you are indeed terrifying. Just for this, you would kill your father and seize power! I thought you were a disaster from the beginning, knowing that one day you would do something so terrible, but I didn't expect you to act so soon." Ye Lang sighed. He had thought about this in advance, but he had expected it to happen decades later.
"Why are you so sure it's me? Just because I answered those questions? What kind of questions were they?" Zhao Yarou looked at Ye Lang and asked, still harboring doubts about the matter.
Ye Lang looked at Zhao Yarou and then said slowly, "Those questions are a form of reverse psychology. Perhaps you don't understand them, but just know that the more questions answered correctly, the more twisted the person's mind!! You answered them all, so I don't need to explain further."
"I see, no wonder Xiaoqi and I didn't answer correctly, you're good, I thought you were just laughing at us!" Ye Lanyu said, as she spoke.
"Good, a few questions, and my act for fifteen years has been ruined. I acted like a good little boy for more than a decade, only to be destroyed so easily by you!" Zhao Yarou laughed, and her expression was very complex, indescribable.
"Alright, let's stop here. Those who want to submit to me can enter the imperial palace, and there will be someone to welcome you! Those who want to die can stay outside, and there will be someone to attend to you too!" Zhao Yarou realized that she had spoken too much to Ye Lang and immediately turned to the main topic.
"Wait, I want to clarify one more thing!" Ye Lang didn't want to let Zhao Yarou proceed with the main business like this.
"What else do you want to clarify?" Zhao Yarou furrowed her eyebrows, looking at Ye Lang. It was strange that she didn't refuse his question.
"I want to know if the commotion caused by that group of spies was your arrangement," Ye Lang asked strangely, making it difficult for people to associate how this matter was related to Zhao Yarou.
"Yes! It was my arrangement, I also leaked the information to all of you!" Zhao Yarou nodded and said something unexpected.
"Why are you doing this?" someone asked, but the one answering the question was not Zhao Yarou, it was Yelang.
"It's simple! She wants to create a crisis, then use this crisis to seize power and control the soldiers and horses of the imperial city and palace to achieve the situation today!" Yelang replied.
"It's impossible. If that's the case, how can she be sure that she can seize power and control the soldiers and horses?" someone questioned.
Indeed, in this hidden struggle, Zhao Yarou only narrowly won, and anyone could have come out on top. The variable was just too great!
"She cannot be sure, but I believe she will have other plans prepared and taking a risk won't hurt. Why not give it a try?" Yelang said casually, as if it were just idle chatter.
"Yelang, I really don't want to kill you. You always surprise me, but now, I don't want any more surprises. Tell me, how should I treat you?" Zhao Yarou became very gentle, as if negotiating with Yelang.
However, no one felt her gentleness at this moment. Everyone could see the cold cruelty behind it.
"Let me go! If you want the Yel family to disappear, I can give you all the Yel family's property, and it would be a clean sweep!" Yelang didn't feel embarrassed, directly asking the other party to release him.
"You, a spendthrift. If you just keep wasting away, that would be so good! I can let you be a spendthrift for a lifetime. But you are a member of the Yel family and also the unmarried fiance of the Seventh Princess of the Empire. You are destined to get involved in some matters, whether you like it or not!" Zhao Yarou looked at Yelang, still as gentle as ever, as if reluctantly about to kill Yelang.
"And killing you, I must deal with the Yel family, otherwise, I will be in trouble!"
"Do you think that by killing us, you can make the Yel family disappear? Do you think trouble can disappear just like that?" Yechengtian coldly snorted.
"The Yel family will certainly not disappear. Would I be so naive? However, when the head of the Yel family is in charge at that time, it's not certain that they will help you seek revenge!" Zhao Yarou said with a smile.
"...Yechengtian and the others' faces became very ugly. They had not thought about this issue just now. Zhao Yarou was not trying to deal with the Yel family, but with their faction.
In the Yel family, there were also many factions. As long as this faction was destroyed, another faction would take charge. If this faction doesn't investigate this matter, or even participate in it, then the matter would naturally come to nothing.
The principle is just like Zhao Yarou's rise to power, only changing an emperor!
