The Empress Wants a Divorce Every Day

Chapter 154: Chapter 153: Don’t Lose the Seat Before It’s Even Warm

As Han Moyao finished speaking, a chill filled the room. Everyone’s face was tense, even Feng Qing, who usually remained indifferent, looked displeased.

The Dog Emperor is shedding partners too quickly. He just took control of the court and is now thinking of seizing the military power of the Capital Guard Camp. Does he plan to completely undermine Rong Ling? It’s not enough to murder; now he wants to render him powerless.

This approach is truly disheartening.

In the room, Rong Ling’s expression was icy cold. His eyes were like a cold pool as he slowly spoke with a mocking tone, ”Go tell Rong Che that he should not even think about the Capital Guard Camp. If he wants to touch it, he should first consider whether he has the weight. Don’t lose the chair before it’s even warm.”

Han Moyao’s expression changed slightly. However, given his status, he wasn’t in a position to confront Rong Ling. Moreover, today, the Emperor hadn’t instructed him to insist on seizing the military power of the Capital Guard Camp, merely to probe Rong Ling’s reaction.

It seems that Prince Yong will not hand the Capital Guard Camp over to Your Majesty.

Han Moyao immediately smiled, clasped his fists, and apologized to Rong Ling, ”Forgive me, Prince. It was my fault for speaking out of turn. The Emperor did not intend to take the Capital Guard Camp from you. He merely asked me to inquire so that the Emperor could have an idea for future allocation.”

Rong Ling waved his hand dismissively, ”Enough. Don’t talk nonsense with me. Go back and tell Rong Che that the Capital Guard Camp was entrusted to me by his father, the former Emperor. I promised in front of his father not to give it up lightly, so he should not even think about it.”

”Let’s see if he’s capable of managing state affairs first before getting arrogant. Don’t lose the chair before it’s warm.”

The last sentence was considered exceedingly irreverent, something only Rong Ling dared to say. Others would not dare to utter it.

Han Moyao dared not respond, wearing a smile as he apologized once more before taking his leave. However, before departing, he requested to see his sister one more time.

Rong Ling did not stop him and had someone take him to see Han Ziyan.

In the room, Feng Qing watched the departing Han Moyao with narrowed eyes. She now understood why he seemed familiar—it was Han Moyao who had led the attempted assassination of Rong Ling that night and had taken her hostage to save his own skin.

So, the assassination that night was orchestrated by this Commander, which is why he and the Little Emperor were now allies, and the Little Emperor entrusted him with the role of Commander of the Five Cities Military Command.

In the room, Rong Ling’s expression was extremely icy, and Nan Feng and Nan Sheng’s expressions were also unpleasant. Nan Xuan erupted with anger, shouting.

”Rong Che, that scoundrel, dares to bully our people of the Prince Yong Mansion like this. Let’s storm the palace and get rid of him.”

Upon Nan Xuan’s words, Rong Ling abruptly shouted coldly, ”Shut up and watch your tongue.”

He finished speaking and weakly closed his eyes, ”Enough, all of you leave.”

Nan Feng, Nan Xuan, and Nan Sheng, seeing their Prince’s frail state, did not have the heart to argue further and retreated. However, before exiting, Rong Ling gave an order.

”Nan Sheng, send someone to spread the news that the Emperor intends to seize the military power of the Capital Guard Camp from me.”

Nan Sheng immediately responded and left, while behind him, Rong Ling’s face broke into a grim smile. At this moment, there was no trace of warmth left in his heart, only a deep coldness.

Rong Che, since you’re so ruthless, don’t blame me for being disloyal. Let us see who wins this game.

Rong Ling’s thoughts faded as he looked towards Feng Qing. Feng Qing immediately understood his intent, rose, and went over to support him as he lay down.

Before drifting off to sleep, Rong Ling instructed, ”Have Nan Feng add a cot in my room. From now on, you sleep on the cot. Don’t fight with me for the bed.”
