Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1546

Chapter 1546: Chapter 1541: Harming Him

Empress Dowager Yan heard this, looked up at these clan relatives of the Imperial Clan with anxious faces, and tightly clenched the clothes at her chest: "But... but the Emperor clearly knows Murong Yan is Xiao Rongyan, yet still trusts Murong Yan without doubt. Because of his trust in Murong Yan... the Emperor no longer wants me as his mother! He wants to drive me out of the palace... out of Yan capital!"

Empress Dowager Yan cried again twice before once more speaking choked with emotion: "The Emperor no longer trusts me now, what can I do?"

"The Emperor is young, deceived by Xiao Rongyan. We of the Murong clan cannot watch as His Majesty strays further down the wrong path, destroying our Murong family’s great kingdom!" The eldest clan relative of the Murong declared, holding tightly to the letters of Xiao Rongyan, "Your Highness need not concern yourself with this matter! We, the elders of the Murong clan, will solve it! We will gather the entire Murong clan and kneel before His Majesty!"

Saying this, the elder bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Your Highness, rest assured as you go to the country estate, we will certainly persuade His Majesty to bring you back soon!"

Though such was said, the elder of the Murong clan already had his plans in mind.

Back when Murong Li ascended, Xiao Rongyan used extremely fierce means to intimidate the clan relatives. Those who dared to oppose the implementation of policies were either killed or sent to Liyi.

But after disciplining the clan relatives fiercely, Murong Li still relied on the clan, as they were of the same surname and bloodline, therefore Murong clan relatives still held many important positions in court.

Now, they were to beseech the Emperor to send troops to eliminate Xiao Rongyan. If the Emperor remained obsessed and only trusted Xiao Rongyan, then they as the Murong family could not watch as Murong Li, a mere child, ruined the family’s great kingdom!

They would then trap the Emperor, bring back the Empress Dowager to take charge, and find ways to resolve matters of national importance...

Empress Dowager Yan heard this, crying as she looked towards the palace...

"But I truly worry for Ah Li, I do not want to be separated from Ah Li! The Crown Prince has already been sent to Zhou, beside me... only His Majesty remains!" Empress Dowager Yan turned her head to look at the magnificent palace, crying and pleading with the clan relatives, "Uncles and elders, I... really do not want to leave!"

Empress Dowager Yan hoped the elders of the clan would step forward, at least allowing her to stay in Yan capital.

"Your Highness, now that Murong family produced Murong Yan as such an unfilial descendant, His Majesty is bewitched by him. Forcing you to stay would be disobeying the Imperial Edict. Better to first go to the estate, and when we persuade His Majesty we will fetch you back!" A clan relative quietly persuaded the Empress Dowager, "Your Highness, trust us, we are all Murong descendants. We would never watch as our kingdom is ruined by an unfilial child!"

Words had reached this point, Empress Dowager Yan knew she indeed had to leave today. Her anger had clouded her mind earlier; she poured out all her resentments towards Xiao Rongyan with all her strength, now she was somewhat exhausted and lacked the energy to argue further.

After nodding, she still worriedly said: "His Majesty is still young. I urge you uncles and elders, when speaking to him... do so gently, he is after all a child!"

"Your Highness’ maternal concern, we naturally heed! His Majesty is also the Emperor of our Yan Kingdom, we do not dare act rashly!"

Just as those words fell, another squad of imperial guard soldiers charged into the palace, running swiftly through the snow, causing Empress Dowager Yan and the clan relatives to think the Emperor had softened and sent them to fetch her. But who knew that as the imperial guards arrived, they drew swords to drive away the clan relatives and protect the Empress Dowager’s vehicle...
