I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 104 - 39: Old Troubles Bring New Peril, Liu Hu in Critical Condition

Chapter 104: Chapter 39: Old Troubles Bring New Peril, Liu Hu in Critical Condition

But isn’t it a disguised form of house arrest within the court?

This is a critical moment.

Yan Ji didn’t want any unexpected events.

Her mind raced, and she immediately recalled something, quickly saying again, "Remember!"

"Absolutely do not let the ministers know about this."

"Quick, summon Marquis Changshe to the palace immediately!"

Marquis Changshe was Yan Xian.

He was also her brother, now controlling the Forbidden Army of the Imperial Palace.

Before long.

Yan Xian hurriedly came in, looking at the panic-stricken Yan Ji, and asked, "Empress, what has caused you such alarm?"

"His Majesty... His Majesty has coughed up blood and fainted."

Yan Ji’s face was somewhat pale.

She had never imagined the situation would reach this point.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xian’s expression changed as well, and he quickly asked, "What did the Imperial Physician say?"

"The Imperial Physician is diagnosing..."

"I have already suppressed the news, but although the Grand Tutor has always minded his own business, I’m afraid it won’t be hidden for long."

Yan Ji recounted everything that had just happened.

Yan Xian’s expression became increasingly grim.

He gritted his teeth tightly, somewhat angrily saying, "The matter is on the brink, how could an accident happen at this time?"

"Do not worry, Empress."

"I will definitely protect the Imperial Palace and allow no one to enter." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Yan Ji nodded, her eyes filled with both a desire for power and a trace of panic, tightly staring at Yan Xian, saying, "No matter what..."

"As long as brother can protect the Imperial Palace."

"Even if His Majesty indeed encounters an accident... we can still..."

She did not continue, but the meaning within her words was very clear.

Yan Xian’s expression also began to grow solemn.

After a moment of silence.

Then he nodded slightly.

"Alright!".....

....

The issuance of these two edicts can be said to have shocked the world.

——A tremor shook the court and the public!

Liu Hu’s political signal was overly clear.

Beating Zheng Zhong’s corpse...

Summoning the sons of the dukes to the palace...

Moreover, completely bypassing Gu Xi!

What does this represent, who couldn’t see?

At the moment, many ministers came looking for Gu Xi, wanting him to stop this matter.

Such a decree was not something everyone wanted to see.

The weight of the foundational matters of the nation was grave.

Moreover, Liu Bao had already passed the age of early death.

At this time, Liu Hu’s decree was obviously destined to cause turmoil in court and the public.

Gu Xi’s expression was also somewhat unsightly at this moment.

He truly hadn’t expected that, after so long, this matter would still result in such great changes.

He did so initially to prevent Liu Hu from harboring suspicions.

Therefore, he decided to suppress it.

He had never expected these events to unfold.

This was also due to Gu Xi’s personality.

Having been powerful since youth, confidence was ingrained in his bones.

Many things were trivial to him, which naturally included many people.

Just some eunuchs, how could they attract special attention?

This character trait was both beneficial and detrimental.

The good part was that Gu Xi had the courage to face everything, even claiming he would defy Heaven during natural disasters.

The bad was in the current situation.

The current scenario completely exceeded Gu Xi’s expectations.

However, he did not act impulsively.

The moral bottom line of the Gu Clan did support Gu Xi in doing many things.

But for the family’s eternal plan.

He decided he still needed to see Liu Hu first.

But it was unsurprising.

Yan Xian blocked everyone outside the palace.

And his excuse was obviously well-thought-out.

The reason being that His Majesty was furious and didn’t want to see anyone.

This was completely unexpected for everyone.

But it seemed to make Gu Xi make certain decisions.

He just took a deep look at the tightly closed palace gates, his gaze growing sharper at this moment. ....
