There were hundreds of guards accompanying him. They urged the people onlookers to stay away from the city gate with a sullen face and a bad tone. It wasn't until the road was cleared that Wen Yidi, wearing a dragon robe, slowly moved to the city gate.

A few dozen meters away, Xu Shihuan just felt that Wen Yidi looked thinner than before. When the distance between the two shortened to more than ten meters, Xu Shihuan realized that Wen Yidi's expression at this time could not be described simply as haggard.

Sunken cheeks, dark blue eyes, and pale complexion. Without getting close to him, Xu Shihuan was almost sure that Wen Yidi's eyes must be filled with red bloodshot eyes.

For seven days in a row, Xu Shihuan's men guarded all the city gates, preventing even a cat from sneaking in. When there are many people at the door, Xu Shihuan's men will tell those people the words they have prepared in advance.

They are the subordinates of the Empress of Suwu Kingdom. They fought all the way from Hezhou. They captured all the states along the way. Now only Yong'an City is left.

Hearing this statement, the people of Yong'an City seemed to have heard a big joke. Not to mention that the Guan Family Army in Hezhou was guarding, even if the Guan Family Army was lost, how could they not even get the news out and allow them to attack Yong'an City.

However, when the people saw their leader, the woman who claimed to be the Empress of Suwu Kingdom, taking off the mask on her face, they instantly believed what they just said.

Because the person under the mask is Xu Shihuan. They didn't know how Xu Shihuan transformed into the empress of Suwu Kingdom, but they knew that she was really capable and could seize the states without anyone noticing and surround Yong'an City tightly.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Xu Shihuan made his request:

Let the emperor come to see her in person.

Upon hearing this request, the ministers instantly divided into two groups. One group advocated letting Wen Yidi go see Xu Shihuan. Since the princess was still in their hands, Xu Shihuan would not do anything impulsive.

The other group believes that the two must not meet. Not only that, but everyone in Prime Minister Xu's family cannot meet. With these people here, they can send the emperor out quietly. Where there is life, there is hope. As long as Wen Yidi is still alive, Xu Shihuan cannot legitimately claim to be emperor.

Unfortunately, as early as the first day when the city gate was guarded, the Xu family and the Guan family received the news and left the city in the middle of the night when no one was around. The ministers didn't know that the princess in the palace was actually an orphan from the Salesian Home. The real princess was living well in Hezhou.

Now, the only person left in Yong'an City who can truly threaten Xu Shihuan is Wen Yidi. The ministers discussed it for seven days. Not to mention ordinary people's homes, even the palace was out of meat and vegetables. If this continues, there will be chaos in Yong'an City.

Finally, under great pressure, Wen Yidi walked out of the palace, walked into the sight of the people, and walked to the city gate.

Separated by a distance of more than ten meters, between the guards around Emperor Wen Yidi and the men of the empress Xu Shihuan, Xu Shihuan was riding on horseback, trying to look more imposing.

Then, she shouted in a voice that echoed around:

"Li Yunshen! Listen to me! When the Li family conquered the world, they once said that they would let all the people in the world live a good life. But now, the soldiers at the border put their life and death aside for the sake of the country, but they don't even have to have enough food and clothing. Not enough, let alone support their parents, wife and children, they can only find ways to make money on their own."

"Let's talk about the people. In the past, the people thought that their money was stolen by merchants. But what about now? Now that business is owned by the imperial court, why haven't the lives of the people gotten better?"

"I, Xu Shihuan, will speak frankly today. I want you, Li Yunshen, to abdicate. I want to be the empress of the Wanhua Kingdom. I want to unite the two countries into one, so that the people can truly live a good life."

The ministers who were following the emperor quickly yelled nonsense when they saw this, but as soon as they finished speaking, they were spat on by the people surrounding him.

"I think you're the one farting!"

"That's right, the regent is right. Originally, I hated the merchants for making all the money, so that we people could not live a good life. Now it seems that the Li family is the real culprit."

"To be honest, for us people, is it important to have the surname Li Xu in this world? The key is to let us live a good life. I can't believe others, but I can trust this Master Xu."

Everyone was chattering and seemed to be losing control. In the current situation, even if the emperor doesn't take the initiative to stand up, Yong'an City will be in chaos if it continues any longer, and the Li family's world will not be able to hold on.

I don’t know who started it, but the people spontaneously shouted to Wen Yidi:

"Your Majesty! Why did you go to this point with the Regent? I think back when you were still an imperial merchant, the Regent did not hesitate and got married to you. Now that you have a little princess, there is no need to fight for the throne. It's a matter of life and death."

"Your Majesty! Please give way to the Regent!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Wen Yidi spoke with a look of embarrassment:

"Since I am here today, it means that I have prepared for the worst. I heard clearly what the regent said just now and what the people said. I also understand that all of this is true."

As he spoke, Wen Yidi suddenly turned around, faced the people in Yong'an City behind him, and then knelt down without hesitation.

"emperor……"

It has to be said that Wen Yidi's kneeling frightened everyone present. Even Xu Shihuan didn't expect him to do this. Seeing him suddenly dwarfing, he thought he was injured.

Wen Yidi's voice was far less loud than Xu Shihuan's voice just now. But the people around him stopped whispering and listened quietly and carefully to what the emperor was going to say next:

"I am Li Yunshen and I am Wen Yidi. I know better than anyone else where the money in people's hands has gone."

"It is the mausoleum that the Li family spent millions of taels of silver to build in order to protect the country for a long time. It is the palace that the royal family spends hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to maintain every year for their own enjoyment, and even more..."

"I admit that I am a sinner. But what I am sorry for is not the ancestors of the Li family, but the people of the whole country. I believe that the regent is more capable than me, and she is more suitable to sit in this position, so... …”

Just as he was about to say his words to abdicate, someone suddenly shouted:

"Your Majesty! You must think twice!"

Wen Yidi looked up and saw several ministers riding over on horseback. In the arms of the leader, there was a child carved in pink and jade.

"Your Majesty! This Kingdom of Ten Thousand Flowers cannot be destroyed in your hands!"

"Your Majesty! If you give up the throne, the little princess's life will be in danger."
