Shao Yunduan said, "I have no intention of killing anyone, as long as they don't seek their own death."
The Fourth Prince was speechless.
It seemed he had never heard Shao Yunduan speak like this, especially in his presence. The Fourth Prince was taken aback.
He silently mocked himself. Things had certainly changed.
"I hope you keep your word," the Fourth Prince said, his voice strained.
Supporting the Empress Dowager, the Fourth Prince, along with the empress consorts, trusted ministers, eunuchs, and palace maids, hurriedly left. Their expressions ranged from nervous to terrified, revealing their anxiety.
As they exited the Qianqing Palace, they encountered a large group of generals and soldiers rushing toward them. The soldiers gave them only a cursory glance before continuing on their way, uninterested in their presence.
Behind them, from the Qianqing Palace, came a thunderous cheer: "Greetings to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
