"Look at your ugly appearance, who wouldn't want to overthrow you?"

"Stop talking nonsense, sign the abdication papers now, and I might spare your life."

The abdication edict is opened...

Then, in the next second, both the sixth prince and the old emperor were stunned.

"What's going on?" The sixth prince quickly took the abdication edict and stood up.

The prepared abdication edict had been stripped of its text; instead, it featured only a large tortoise.

"Who changed my abdication edict?" The sixth prince glared fiercely at the people below the stage.

"You won't tell, huh? Don't think I can't do anything about it."

As the sixth prince spoke, he drew a dagger and held it to the old emperor's neck.

"If a proper abdication won't work, then I'll just seize it."

"Where is the Imperial Seal of the State? Bring it out quickly."

Shi Yu and Gua 66 were whispering amongst themselves below.

Shi Yu, [Gua66, do you know where the Imperial Seal of the State is?]

Gua66, [Let me search... oh, it's inside the emperor's pillow.]

The sixth prince was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately sent someone to fetch it.

Sure enough, the Imperial Seal of the State was indeed inside.

Just as the Sixth Prince was about to laugh after receiving the Imperial Seal, the First Prince, who had been sitting properly, suddenly stood up.

He raised his hand and shouted, "The Sixth Prince is unrighteous and cruel, forcing the monarch to submit!"

"Why don't we rise up and resist to protect His Majesty!"

As the eldest prince raised his voice, Tantai Qingchuan swiftly made his move, breaking through layers of defense and directly snapping the sixth prince's neck.

At the same time, a large group of men who had been lying in ambush rushed in and captured all the unclaimed soldiers.

Inside the palace of the old king of that country, the eldest prince, like a mantis stalking a cicada unaware of a oriole behind, locked the palace shut.

The abdication edict was signed by the old king.

The eldest prince took the Imperial Seal.

Then, without even blinking, the eldest prince ordered his men to smother the old king to death.

Smiling, he signed a century-long treaty between Natuo Kingdom and Daqian with Tantai Qingchuan, and Natuo Kingdom existed as a vassal state of Daqian Kingdom.

Shi Yu watched from the side, clapping her hands excitedly.

Absolutely brilliant! Incredibly ruthless! No wonder he's fit to be an emperor.

None of them have any father-son affection.

The next day, the Kingdom of Natuo suffered a great loss, the eldest prince ascended the throne, and pinned all the blame for the murder of the old king on the sixth prince.

Since there's no way to prove anything since the dead are dead, just do whatever feels good.
