"Good!" Ye Chengyan's excitement grew.
He turned to Emperor Muwu and said, "Father, it doesn't matter if you don't pass the throne to me. What I want, I can get myself."
He originally wanted Chu Hanlin to bring the Imperial Jade Seal into the palace, but Xuanyuan Che stopped him and whispered a few words into his ear. Ye Chengyan nodded and instructed the civil and military officials to follow him to the palace gates.
Ye Chengyan wanted everyone to see that once he obtained the Imperial Jade Seal, he would be the legitimate emperor. Moreover, he had people prepare a procession to bring Emperor Muwu along for the view.
The chief eunuch said urgently, "His Majesty's health cannot withstand the cold."
"Since Father won't survive today anyway, a bit of cold air won't matter," Ye Chengyan said coldly.
Their father-son relationship had long since been severed. The chief eunuch was furious, but Emperor Muwu remained calm, indicating that the eunuch should not say more.
