Chapter 2052: The Finale
 

After everyone left, the empress dowager still calmly closed her eyes. She knocked on the wooden fish with one hand and moved the Buddha beads with the other. She did not even give the Emperor a look.

Disappointment flashed across the Emperor’s face.

” Mother, I’ve already decided to take action against Lin Yuelan!” the Emperor said directly.

The empress dowager’s eyes widened, and her expression was very fierce. She then shouted sternly,” Bastard! How can you touch the princess of Guguo?”

Anyone in the world could be touched except for Princess Lin Yuelan!

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

This was what the late Emperor had told her before he died.

However, the Emperor insisted,” Mother, the existence of Princess Gu is already threatening the safety of the Yuwen family. Lin Yuelan is extremely wealthy and has great prestige. Jiang Zhennan has already retired, but the 800,000 soldiers of the Jiang Family Army will still only listen to Jiang Zhennan’s orders.”

At this point, he gritted his teeth and said,” How can I allow that?!”

It meant that their wealth and military power had already threatened his throne!

The empress dowager snorted coldly.” The late emperor could tolerate it, so why can’t you? Besides, they don’t covet the seat under your ass!”

The Emperor said sternly,” Mother, I’m only here to inform you. I’m not asking for your opinion!”

The empress dowager’s face immediately turned green before returning to normal. She said indifferently,” In that case, Emperor, you can leave. This widow doesn’t want you to disturb the peace of the temple hall!”

The Emperor’s face turned pale, and he turned around to leave.

However, before he left, the empress dowager said,” My son, your father said before he died that anyone in this world can be touched except Princess Lin Yuelan of Guguo! Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable! Take care of yourself!”

The empress dowager’s eyes darkened when she saw the emperor’s figure leaving. She sighed heavily.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager’s temple hall, the Emperor had been pondering over the previous Emperor’s words.

At first, he hesitated for a moment, but he quickly made up his mind.

The entire world was the land of the king!

He was the Emperor, the Son of Heaven. In this world, there was no one he could not touch.

..

On Liu Yichen’s fifth day in Lin Garden, an army surrounded Taoyuan Village. Not even a fly could escape.

Tie Changfeng, the general of the Tiger Head Army, led a group of soldiers to the entrance of Lin Garden.

He shouted loudly,” Princess Gu, Lin Yuelan, listen up!”

Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan walked out and said to the person,” Speak!”

The others were arranged to stay in the backyard so that the soldiers would not scare them, especially the two old men and the two children.

Tie Changfeng saw Lin Yuelan’s disrespect and immediately said angrily,” His Majesty has issued an edict. Princess Guguo, kneel down and accept the edict! Are you looking down on His Majesty’s might?”

Lin Yuelan sneered and said,” What a tall hat! This princess is not going to accept it! This general, before you ask this princess to kneel, you must be clear about my identity!”

Tie Changfeng frowned slightly and asked in confusion,” What identity?”

“I, Lin Yuelan, am the princess of the Guguo that was personally conferred by the late emperor. I am also the adopted daughter of the late emperor! According to seniority, the current Emperor still has to call this princess ‘Younger Sister’ and the previous Emperor has exempted this princess from all etiquette. So Great General, do you think this princess should go against the previous Emperor’s decree and kneel to receive it?”

Tie Changfeng broke out in a cold sweat.

Tie Changfeng didn’t dwell on the question of whether Lin Yuelan would kneel or not. Instead, he took out the imperial edict and said loudly,” I have received a report that Princess Lin Yuelan of the Guguo is suspected of colluding with the Demonic Sect, assassinating the former Emperor, and harbouring the Demonic Sect Leader, Liu Yichen. The evidence is conclusive. I hereby revoke Lin Yuelan’s status as the princess of the country, confiscate all of Lin Yuelan’s properties, and order Tiger Head General Tie Changfeng to immediately arrest the criminals. Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan, and all other people suspected of this incident will enter the capital! This is the imperial decree!”

Tie Changfeng said sternly,” Lin Yuelan, hurry up and receive the decree!”

Lin Yuelan understood everything when she heard that the imperial edict was going to seal off all her properties.

Yuwen Yanyu wanted to rob her of all her wealth.

A vicious look flashed across Lin Yuelan’s eyes.

Then, she sneered and said,” What a joke. If you say that I, Lin Yuelan, colluded with the Demon Cult, then so be it. Also, the former emperor was extremely grateful to me, so why should I collude with the Demon Cult to assassinate the former emperor? How ridiculous! Therefore, I, Lin Yuelan, will never accept this kind of imperial edict!”
