"No, that head is real. It is indeed the emperor's head!" Ye Lang had already taken out his' binoculars' to take a look. After carefully examining it, he confirmed that it was real.
This situation shocked many people present. They understood that Zhao Yarou was trying to seize the throne, but they did not expect her to be so ruthless as to directly kill the emperor.
However, this seemed to be the most correct thing to do. Since she wanted to seize the throne, she should have the resolve to kill the emperor. She should kill the emperor directly instead of dragging things out like some people.
However, this was very hard to accept. It was too sudden. The emperor was still talking just now, but now, his head was separated from his body!
"Why did you kill the emperor? He is your father. Even if you want to be the emperor, you don't have to kill him!" Ye Chengtian roared in grief and indignation. His relationship with the emperor was not as simple as that between a ruler and a subject. They were more like brothers and friends.
It was also because of this that he had never considered that the emperor would poison him.
"Because he said that if I want to be the empress, I have to die! Now that he is dead, it means that he agreed to pass the throne to me. "Zhao Yarou said with a smile. It was a smile that made people feel terrified.
Death was equivalent to consent. Was this how it was interpreted?
No one thought so. This was what many people would say. It was an attitude of rejection!
However, at this moment, there was someone who thought that this indeed fulfilled the conditions. And it was none other than Ye Lang!
"That's right. If that's the case, you are the new emperor. The emperor shouldn't have said that. He should have said that he would rather die than pass the throne to you! "
"…"
"No, why would the emperor say such a thing to you? Could it be that you are trying to seize the throne?" Ye Lang seemed to have only just realized this problem.
"…" Once again, the entire place fell silent.
Your reaction is too slow. It's obvious, so what's the point of saying it's hard?!!
"What should I say about you? Sometimes, you are smarter than anyone else and can see things that others can't, but sometimes, you are so slow. Even an idiot can think of a problem, but you still haven't reacted!" Zhao Yarou looked at Ye Lang helplessly.
"I understand. That's why you gave the Seven Days of Extinction and not something that kills people immediately. You want us to submit to you! "Ye Lang said.
"This … we've already discussed it, you don't need to understand …" Zhao Yarou said.
"Really? Have you discussed it? What was the result? "
"Now is the time to see the results. You have to think this through. Right now, I control the entire Imperial City, and of course, the Imperial Palace. I have to thank you for letting me take control of this place. Now, the matter of me becoming the Empress has already been settled. You can choose to submit to me, or die!! " Zhao Yarou looked down at the square in front of the palace. She wanted to see what choice the people below would make.
"Does it mean that if I submit to you, I won't have to die?" Ye Lang asked.
"Yes, as long as you pledge allegiance to me, I guarantee that everything will be the same as before!" Zhao Ya nodded, looking at the crowd below, she wanted to know everyone's answer.
Should he choose to submit? Or should he choose to die loyally?
At this time, many people would choose to go first, but they would have to wait for someone to take the lead. This way, they wouldn't become the target of public criticism. These experienced officials and nobles all understood this point, so they were all waiting and not immediately expressing their stance!
However, there was one person who made his stand in an instant, and he was Ye Lang. However …
"Then I choose to submit!"
Ye Lang's straightforward choice caused many people to open their mouths wide, especially Zhao Yarou. She had never thought that Ye Lang would submit to her!
It wasn't that she felt that Ye Lang wasn't important, but she felt that it was impossible. The Ye family wouldn't agree, at least Ye Chengtian's faction wouldn't agree, and it wouldn't be that simple!
"Little bastard, why are you so lacking in ambition? How can you submit so easily! Everyone, I'm sorry, he's acting stupid again. Everyone, there's no need to pay attention to him! "Long Anqi punched Ye Lang's head. She felt that Ye Lang was muddle-headed again.
"Mom, I'm not stupid. The right decision right now is to submit, or else I'll die!" Ye Lang shook his head and said calmly.
"We have so many people, if worst comes to worst, we'll just fight it out with them!" Long Anqi said heroically.
"We can't fight it out, we've been poisoned … I know, you said that some of your people haven't been poisoned, so there's still a chance!" Ye Lang said. Just as he said, because the poison had been discovered early, many people in the Ye family hadn't touched their chopsticks, so they hadn't eaten the poisoned food.
Simply put, at least eighty percent of the experts in the Ye family hadn't been poisoned, including Ye Yi. Old people always moved their chopsticks a little slower.
"It's useless! I don't care about this poison at all. Since I've eaten it before, I have a way to cure it! "Ye Lang said with a wave of his hand.
"You have a way to cure it? Didn't you just say that only the person who poisoned it can cure it? "Ye Lanyu asked doubtfully.
"I only said the general situation, not the whole situation." Ye Lang said with a wave of his hand.
"You have a way to cure it?" This question wasn't asked by the people nearby, but by Zhao Yarou who was far away.
"I do have a way, but there's nothing I can do now because I can't use my ring right now. All the magical elements in the vicinity have been sealed by you, so even if we aren't poisoned, we still can't use any battle energy or magic!" Ye Lang looked at Zhao Yarou and said calmly.
"That's right! When you're not stupid, you're surprisingly smart. Of course, I won't just use poison. Naturally, I have a second, or even a third, plan! The Anti-Magic Array nearby has been activated. You're just a bunch of ordinary people now, waiting to be slaughtered by me! "Zhao Yarou said coldly.
There were indeed many experts in the plaza. Even if they were surrounded, it would still be difficult to deal with them. However, if these experts became ordinary people in the Anti-Magic Array, they would be like fish on the chopping board.
At this moment, Ye Chengtian's expression changed. He knew that this Anti-Magic Array was set up to prevent people from entering the palace. In other words, he knew its power and range!
"Ye Lang, how did you find out?" Zhao Yarou looked at Ye Lang and asked casually.
"I originally wanted to take the cannon and blow you up when you weren't paying attention!" Ye Lang answered honestly. At the same time, there was a little helplessness and pity.
"…"
At this moment, almost everyone was silent. Everyone looked at Ye Lang and suddenly felt that Ye Lang was very scary because he didn't care about what others thought. He only did what he wanted to do.
If it wasn't for the Anti-Magic Array, it was unknown whether Zhao Yarou would still be alive!
