“You really are an erractic factor that causes disturbances in the plans . ” Zhao Yarou became silent for a while . She was a little scared, because she would’ve been in danger if Ye Lang had attacked her when she had been inattentive .

She understood this, so she directly killed the Emperor .

“For that same reason, even if you are to become my subordinate, I will still kill you . Only when all of the Ye family die can I be absolutely safe . ” Zhao Yarou said straightforwardedly, telling him that she would kill him in order to take revenge and avoid being thwarted from the throne .

“What you want to do has nothing to do with me . ” Ye Lang didn’t understand why she thought he prevented her from gaining the throne .

“Really?” Zhao Yarou asked him with surprise .

“Yes . No matter who gains the throne, he or she can be an excellent king or queen if he or she works diligently and cares about the people . I don’t care whether you have usurped the throne . You should also know that as a queen, one day, that you may be killed . ” Ye Lang calmly said .

He told her the harsh fact that the civilians, aristocrats, and ministers only judged the ruler from his or her political performance . They didn’t care about his or her personality and how he or she had gained the throne .

If some people couldn’t accept him or her, they would gradually rebel .

“So why were you against me? If you had supported me, I wouldn’t have done what I did today . ” Zhao Yarou stared at Ye Lang and grit her teeth .

“I was against you, but did anyone listen to me?” Ye Lang asked casually .

No .

Almost everyone here would say so .

“I listened to you . ” Zhao Yarou continued to grit her teeth . “Although you are stupid, what you say is correct every time . Sooner or later, because of your words, I would have failed to inherit the throne . I can’t fail, so the best way is to usurp the throne at any cost in advance . ”

“Really, you are really horrifying . In order to ensure that you gain the throne, you killed your own father . Originally, I thought you were just a potential villain, and sooner or later, you would do something terrifying . I didn’t expect you to take action so soon . ” Ye Lang said . He had already thought about it, but he thought she would do so in a few decades .

“Why were you sure that I would do so? Is that because I answered those questions? What did your questions test for?” Zhao Yarou looked at Ye Lang and remembered that he had asked her some questions .

Ye Lang glanced at Zhao Yarou, speaking slowly, “Those questions tested for your mental state . Perhaps you don’t understand, but you should know that the more right answers one can give, the more possibly he or she suffered from mental illness . You even gave all the right answers . I guess I don’t need to explain anything more to you . ”

“I got it . No wonder you said we did a good job when little Qi and I didn’t give the right answers . I thought that you were laughing at us . ” Ye Lanyu said .

“Fine, I didn’t expect that with just several questions, you could tell what I am really like . Over the past ten plus years, I have pretended to be well-behaved but my efforts were in vain . ” Zhao Yarou smiled and said . Her smile was very mysterious .

“Well, let’s stop here . If any of you want to be my subordinate, please go to the palace and you will receive a warm reception . If you want to die, stay outside and people will come for you . ” Zhao Yarou found she had talked too much with Ye Lang, so she immediately got down to business .

“Wait, I want to figure something out . ” Ye Lang didn’t want to let Zhao Yarou get down to business at once .

“What else?” Zhao Yarou frowned and looked at Ye Lang . She felt it very strange, but didn’t refuse his demand .

“I want to know whether the spies worked for you . ” Ye Lang asked such a strange question, they couldn’t believe Zhao Yarou was involved in that matter .

“Yes . They worked for me . It was me that told you the news . ” Zhao Yarou nodded and told them a shocking message .

“Why did you do that?” Someone asked, but rather than Zhao Yarou, Ye Lang gave the answer instead .

“Well, she wanted to create a distraction, and then take the opportunity to seize power to control the imperial city and troops, so she can usurp the throne today . ” Ye Lang replied .

“That’s impossible! How could she be so sure that she could seize power to control the troops?” Someone questioned .

Actually, in this struggle of power, Zhao Yarou had a narrow victory, because it could have gone any way, there had been a great deal of uncertainty .

“She wasn’t certain, but she most likely had another plan . Since she had decided to make a bid for power, she had nothing to lose, so why not give it a try?” Ye Lang said with ease, as if he was having a casual chat .

“Ye Lang, I can’t bear to kill you, because you always surprise me . But I don’t want to live in fear, so please, tell me how I should deal with you . ” Zhao Yarou became very gentle, as if she was discussing with him .

However, right now, no one felt that she was gentle . Everyone thought she was ruthless .

“You can let me go . You can let the Ye family disappear and I can give you all my family’s property . ”Ye Lang didn’t feel disgraced and directly asked her to let them free .

“You are always wasting money . If you only focus on how to have a prodigal life, you will be safe . . . But you are a member of Ye family and the fiancé of the seventh princess, you are bound to get involved in something that you don’t want to interfere in . ” Zhao Yarou looked at him gently and it seemed as if she wasn’t willing to kill him .

“And if I want to kill you, I must kill your whole family . Otherwise, I will get into trouble . ”

“Do you think that if you kill us, the Ye family will disappear? Do you think you won’t get into trouble?” Ye Chengtian snorted .

“The Ye family, of course, will not disappear and I won’t be so naive to think so . But no one knows if the future master of your family will take revenge . ” Zhao Yarou said with a smile .

“ . . . ” Ye Chengtian and the others looked worried, they hadn’t thought about that . They didn’t know Zhao Yarou just fought against them, not the whole Ye family .

There were many branches in the Ye family . As long as the members of one branch were killed, the head of another branch would be in charge of the whole family . If the head of this branch didn’t take revenge, no one would be blamed .

It was also true to say that even though Zhao Yarou usurped the throne, everyone would finally accept her and she wouldn’t be blamed .
