Xianyang City, in the study of the imperial palace!
"Bang!"
"Damned Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox, this emperor will destroy your Green Hill Fox Clan sooner or later."
After hearing Qin Yi's retelling of Yu Haoran's words, Emperor Qin, who was enraged, slammed his left hand on the desk.
With a powerful sound, the hard pear wood desk was directly torn apart.
Steward Jiang, who heard the sound, hurriedly entered the study to take a look, then immediately retreated.
In less than three minutes, an identical pear wood desk was placed in front of Emperor Qin.
After a few minutes of adjustment, Emperor Qin, who had temporarily suppressed his anger, ordered Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, ask the prince consort if he needs my help."
"Your Majesty, the prince consort said that he will only take Thirteen with him!" Qin Yi, who received Yu Haoran's reply from Qin Thirteen's retelling, hurriedly replied.
"In fact, with the prince consort's methods, as long as he doesn't encounter a quasi-martial supremacy who has passed the second-layer tribulation, no one can do anything to him."
After hearing Qin Yi's retelling, Emperor Qin muttered to himself.
Then, he raised his head and ordered Qin Yi.
"Qin Yi, tell the prince consort that he must hunt down that Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox. This emperor wants to see the fox, dead or alive."
Sect Master Peak, Wind Pavilion!
"Thirteen, tell His Majesty that this prince consort can only promise to do his best!"
It had been so long since Gu Yue had been abducted. Who knew where the Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox was hiding?
What if she returned to the Green Hill Fox Clan in fear after learning that the Four Symbols Sect had been destroyed? Would he be able to chase her all the way to the Green Hill Mountain Range?
"Prince consort, His Majesty asks you to do your best!" Qin Thirteen slightly changed the tone of his retelling and risked a reminder.
The reason why he took the risk of changing the tone of his retelling was that Qin Thirteen found that Yu Haoran didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about hunting down the Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox. This made Qin Thirteen, who was bent on capturing the Seven-Tailed Arctic Fox alive and giving Emperor Qin and Qin Yi an explanation, give up.
Therefore, he could only take a risk and give it a try.
Fortunately, Yu Haoran did not notice his abnormality and only nodded, indicating that he would do his best.
Then, he continued.
"Thirteen, tell His Majesty that Ji Qingyu of the Northern Army has repeatedly offended this prince consort. He even violated military law to provoke this prince consort."
"That's why I'm going to make an example out of Ji Qingyu!"
"Prince Consort, Ji Qingyu's younger sister is the Emperor's most beloved concubine. It seems that she will be conferred the title of Empress in a few days. Look!"
Upon hearing that Yu Haoran planned to make an example out of Ji Qingyu, Qin Thirteen couldn't help but warn him. He knew Ji Qingyu's background and knew the situation in the capital at all times.
"Thirteen, you should know my personality. Ji Qingyu's sister hasn't been crowned empress yet. Even if she was, I'd still kill Ji Qingyu!" Yu Haoran said fearlessly when he heard Qin Thirteen's warning.
"Alright!"
Seeing that Yu Haoran had made up his mind, Qin Thirteen didn't warn him anymore. He repeated his words to Qin Yi through the bell in his hand.
Xianyang City, in the study of the imperial palace.
Upon hearing that Yu Haoran planned to make an example out of Ji Qingyu, Emperor Qin fell silent.
After nearly three minutes of silence, he raised his head and shouted outside the study.
"Steward Jiang!"
"Emperor!"
"Has the imperial edict conferring Ji Qingyu the title of Empress been issued?" Emperor Qin asked.
"Replying to Emperor, it has been stamped with the imperial seal. It will be announced to the world tomorrow morning!" Steward Jiang, who was in charge of drafting the imperial edict, immediately replied.
"Burn the imperial edict. Don't mention the conferment of empress in the future!" Emperor Qin ordered coldly.
After Steward Jiang left the study, Qin Yi pondered for a long time. In the end, he let out a long sigh and said nothing.
At this moment, he could already see that Emperor Qin's regard and love for his son-in-law had exceeded the ordinary father-son-in-law relationship, even surpassing the relationship between father and son.
The two seemed to be in a position of complete equality.
Fortunately, Yu Haoran wasn't the Imperial Son of the Grand Qin Empire. Otherwise, with the Emperor's high regard and favor towards him, there wouldn't be the slightest suspense in the competition for the throne.
After dealing with the empress' affairs, Emperor Qin thought of the Ji family, who had deep influence in the military. He was worried that they would secretly send people to ambush Yu Haoran. In the end, he decided to take the responsibility himself.
"Qin Yi, prepare the imperial edict!" The Qin Emperor instructed Qin Yi as he stood up and picked up the wolf fur on the table.
After Qin Yi laid out the imperial edict, Emperor Qin closed his eyes and mobilized the power of law he had just overcome.
When he opened his eyes again, he wrote the word "behead" on the yellow silk.
"Have Thirteen hand the imperial edict directly to Ji Qingyu!" Emperor Qin ordered after returning the wolf fur to its original place and sitting back on the dragon throne.
"Yes!" After rolling up the imperial edict, Qin Yi used the bell in his hand to transmit the edict to Qin Thirteen.
Sect Master Peak, Wind Pavilion:
"Emperor Qin Yi, do you think this subordinate should deliver the imperial edict to Ji Qingyu now or continue to listen to your orders?" Qin Thirteen asked respectfully after receiving the imperial edict from the bell.
"Wait a moment!"
Yu Haoran shook his head.
"I only have one more thing to do now, and I need His Majesty to give me a decree."
Qin Thirteen put away the imperial edict and immediately assumed a posture of listening attentively.
"Thirteen, now that the Four Symbols Concentration Formation has been broken and the Four Symbols Sect has been destroyed, ask His Majesty if he should arrange for someone to take over the northern army.
After all, this emperor's son-in-law still has his own matters to attend to, "Yu Haoran said, as if intending to hand over power.
"Emperor Qin Yi, are you sure?" Qin Thirteen asked in disbelief.
"Of course!" Yu Haoran nodded affirmatively.
"Emperor Qin Yi, the northern army's one hundred thousand elite soldiers are very strong. They can be said to be Emperor Qin's most elite army. Are you really willing to give them up?" Qin Thirteen asked, still in disbelief.
"Thirteen, this emperor's son-in-law's ambition is not in the army. Even if a million elite soldiers were under my command, this emperor's son-in-law wouldn't be moved, let alone a hundred thousand elite soldiers," Yu Haoran explained with a smile.
Seeing that Yu Haoran wasn't greedy for power in the army, Qin Thirteen sincerely admired him. "Emperor Qin Yi, there are very few people in this world that I, Qin Thirteen, admire. Apart from the Emperor and Qin Yi, you are the third!"
Xianyang City, Imperial Palace Study:
"Emperor Qin Yi, you're an amazing man!" After repeating Yu Haoran's words, Qin Yi also sighed in admiration, just like Qin Thirteen.
"Qin Yi, now you know why I think so highly of and dote on the emperor's son-in-law!" Emperor Qin, who was equally happy in his heart, said with a smile.
"This subordinate understands!" Qin Yi nodded her head sincerely.
Tapping his fingers on the table, Emperor Qin began to consider who could take over the northern army.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find a suitable candidate.
In fact, it wasn't that there wasn't a suitable candidate. The main reason was that after breaking the Four Symbols Concentration Formation and wiping out the Four Symbols Sect, the northern army's campaign would be smooth sailing for a long time.
Whoever took over the northern army at this time would get this great merit for free.
As for the few suitable candidates, Emperor Qin didn't want them to get this easy military merit out of thin air and gain more power.
Therefore, after finding no suitable candidates, Emperor Qin finally asked for Yu Haoran's opinion.
