“I’m afraid that once I write this edict, the dynasty will soon change names.” The Emperor sneered.
King Kang was stunned for a moment. After understanding what he meant, he looked at Prime Minister Su thoughtfully.
Even Consort Shu looked at Prime Minister Su warily.
Prime Minister Su sneered and looked at the Emperor. “If you want to delay time and wait for the torch to go out before taking action, then there’s no need.
“Not only do we have matches, but we also have two more torches.”
“You know very well whether it’s true or not.” The Emperor looked at King Kang and continued, “I don’t think you know yet. Seventh Su has bought many properties behind your back all these years.
“Even the Gu family’s businesses in other places have been taken over by Seventh Su. Moreover, he used your name to bully and occupy many lands.
“The most important thing is that other than the capital, all your businesses and forces are under the control of Seventh Su, right?
“Are you sure those people will really listen to you?
“Also, among the four county magistrates you replaced, two of them weren’t the ones you originally planned to replace. Those two obeyed Seventh Su’s every word.
“Also...”
Prime Minister Su pulled Consort Shu into his arms and turned to look at the Emperor.
However, the moment they turned around, Xiao Heng and King Rui had already rushed over. The two of them had already arrived in front of Prime Minister Su.
Xiao Heng grabbed Prime Minister Su’s hand and held the torch tightly.
King Rui pulled Consort Shu aside and kicked Prime Minister Su in the stomach.
Prime Minister Su’s grip loosened when he felt the pain, and Xiao Heng immediately snatched the torch away.
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, Prime Minister Su’s in-law, the Minister of War, rushed over and knocked away the torch.
“Haha, it seems that even the heavens are on my side.” Prime Minister Su laughed when he saw this.
However, his laughter stopped halfway. Although the torch had been knocked down, it did not reach the ground.
Instead, it stopped in the air and floated.
The Emperor was delighted at first, but at the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He quickly thought of something and immediately kneeled. “Thank you, Mother God, for saving us.”
Everyone was stunned by his declaration and immediately kneeled together, thanking Mother God.
However, there were also people who cursed Mother God for being a busybody, such as Prime Minister Su and his diehard supporters.
Seeing this, the Emperor thanked Mother God once again. He then ordered Yan Zhiwu to bring his troops in and arrest all the people who cursed against Mother God..
