“No, that’s really the Emperor’s head.” Ye Lang said this because he had looked at it carefully with his “telescope” to see whether it was real or fake.

Under these circumstances, many people present became shocked, because they finally understood that Zhao Yarou usurped the throne, they also didn’t expect her to be so ruthless that she just went and killed the Emperor.

But it seemed correct to do so, since she had intended to usurp the throne. She had killed the Emperor without hesitation, unlike someone with the same plan but delayed doing so.

However, they couldn’t accept it, because the Emperor who had addressed them just now had left them forever.

“Why did you kill him? He is your father! Even though you desire to seize the throne, you didn’t have to kill him.” Ye Chengtian roared angrily, because he had a close relationship with the Emperor and considered him his good brother.

And because of this, he had also not suspected the Emperor having poisoned him.

“That’s because he said I wouldn’t gain the throne until he died. Now he’s dead, so it means that he agreed to let me inherit the throne.” Zhao Yarou said with a crooked smile.

Did his death mean he agreed to give up the throne?

Nobody thought so. Most of them refused to accept such a reason.

But at this moment, one person agreed with her. This person was Ye Lang.

“Yes, if this is the case, then you are the queen. The Emperor should have said that he wouldn’t let you gain the throne even if he died.”

“...”

“Wait, why did the emperor say so? Did you try to usurp the throne?” Ye Lang finally realized the problem.

“...” Everyone became silent again.

You are too stupid to realize it. It was clear that she had attempted to do so.

“How should I comment on you? Sometimes you are more intelligent than any other man because you can find out what others cannot. But sometimes, you are so stupid that you fail to realize what even an idiot has already understood.” Zhao Yarou looked at Ye Lang helplessly.

“I got it. You poison us with qirijue, rather than any other deadly poison, in order to make us your subordinates.” Ye Lang said.

“This... We just talked about this, so you don’t need to try to figure it out...” Zhao Yarou said.

“Really? What was the conclusion?”

“We came to a conclusion that now, it is time for you to make a decision. You should be clear that I now control the imperial wall and the palace. Of course, for this, I need to thank you. Now, I am the queen, so you can choose to be my subordinate, or die.” Zhao Yarou looked down at the square in front of the palace. She wanted to know their choice.

“If I become a subordinate, will I survive and have the same life as before?” Ye Lang asked.

“Yes. I promise everything will be the same.” Zhao Yarou nodded and looked at the crowd below her. She wanted to know their answer.

Whether to become her subordinate under such circumstances, or to die with loyalty to the late Emperor?
