He didn't really want to risk his life to have Xiao Yuncheng stripped of his title as crown prince.

If he dies, what's the point of Xiao Yuncheng being crippled?

His father only had him as his son!

The position of crown prince can only be given to Xiao Yuncheng, right?

Wouldn't all the wealth and military strength he had accumulated over the years by concealing his talents and painstakingly managing and plundering the people of Jizhou be wasted?

How could he accept this?

Xiao Yunfei raised his head, his gaze passing over the Emperor and Empress Chen, and looking at Xiao Yuncheng standing behind the crowd.

With his last ounce of strength, he raised his arm and pointed at Xiao Yuncheng, saying each word clearly, "That cup of poisoned wine... was... was given to me by my imperial brother..."

With each word Xiao Yunfei uttered, he would vomit a mouthful of black blood. Dark reddish bloodstains flowed down the corners of his mouth, and his entire chin and neck were covered in sticky bloodstains.

Xiao Yuncheng trembled with fear at Xiao Yunfei's words, shaking his head violently: "No, it wasn't me! It really wasn't me!"

"Brother...why did you want to harm me? What did I do wrong? You've killed so many brothers and sisters, isn't that enough? Why...why do you still want to harm me?"

“I… am your own brother, born of the same mother.”

Xiao Yunfei's lips curled into a sinister smile. Xiao Yuncheng must have noticed his spies and secretly switched the poison to kill him instead.

Then he would make Xiao Yuncheng, the future crown prince, bear the infamy of killing his sister and brother!

Let him be despised by the whole world!

After saying his last words, Xiao Yuncheng's hand, which had been raised in mid-air, fell limply to his sides, and he breathed his last.

"Yunfei!"

Empress Chen let out a heart-wrenching scream, vomiting a mouthful of blood that sprayed onto the ground.
