The emperor looked at his son in disbelief. This was his most beloved son, and although he doted on him because of his love for him, he had still put a lot of effort into raising him.

"what are you up to?"

"Do you intend to commit patricide?"

The emperor was somewhat frightened and kept hiding behind.

However, the eldest prince has clearly made up his mind now.

He was unwilling to continue like this any longer, as it was truly annoying, and he had already seized the throne long ago, not just recently.

If I could kill the emperor, then I could rightfully ascend the throne.

The eldest prince had a really funny smile, and he walked forward little by little with the knife in his hand.

"Father, there are some things that even you yourself probably find hard to imagine, aren't there?"

"So why did my mother die?"

Zhou Zhizhi asked the system to show him this scene, and she knew that the Emperor probably wouldn't be able to wait for them to return and rescue people today.

Even if he dies, it doesn't matter. Right now, the most important thing to him is the Second Prince.

Soon the second prince encountered many soldiers, and the palace gates had already been breached.

It was the third prince who conspired with others to seize power and usurp the throne.

It's best to take advantage of this chaos.

Zhou Zhizhi was worried and wanted to go in too, but Xiao Xiyou stopped her.

"You wait outside. If it succeeds, I will send you a message!"

"If it doesn't work out, then leave quickly. I only know that you love me, and that is enough for me in this life."

Xiao Xiyou spoke very seriously.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zhizhi said nothing more.

I exchanged all my previous points for potions.

It was poured directly into the well.

"Have some water before you go?"

Zhou Zhizhi was a little scared, her eyes filled with reluctance. The Second Prince also knew what the water was for, so he took a sip.

I instantly felt incredibly energetic.

The other soldiers were also aware of this, and after finishing their drinks, they headed straight for the palace.

It was already late, and the palace was filled with the smoke of gunpowder.

Zhou Zhizhi was somewhat afraid of Baoxin outside the city and had already fled.

They simply couldn't believe that such a situation would one day occur in their capital city.

Or they packed their bags early, but were stopped from leaving, so they just hid in the wilderness.

Either all the parents are kept at home, or those with basements are all kept in their basements.

When Xiao Xiyou found the eldest prince, he had already killed his father, and even the empress and the third prince had already died by his sword.

He was covered in blood, and when he saw this scene, he revealed a ferocious smile.

"And you too, second brother?"

"Are you here to compete with me for the throne as well?"

When Xiao Xiyou saw him like this, his expression was slightly complicated.

The sight of the corpses of his relatives, killed by each other, lying all over the ground was something he was finding hard to accept.

After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.

"Brother, this throne is yours."

"If I could, I would go to a very far place and never be a threat to you again!"

His words surprised the eldest prince slightly.

But then, as if he had heard something extremely funny, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You're not interested in the throne?"

"That's impossible. Your mother was killed by your father. Don't you want revenge?"

"Don't you want to sit on that supreme throne?"

The eldest prince cried and tears streamed down his face.

They were always the same kind of people, and they were all very pitiful.

Even the second prince was more pitiful than him.

Xiao Xiyou shook his head as if a weight had suddenly been lifted from his heart.

“I have met the person I love. If being in a high position means fighting and killing like this every day, I am not willing to do it.”

“I want to live a peaceful life with him. If that’s what you want, then you are the emperor now.”

When Xiao Dongyang heard this, he wiped away his tears, his eyes filled with despair.

He slowly walked over, holding the jade seal in his hand, looking at his younger brother who had never wanted to talk to him before.

He seems to understand a little bit now, and he knows why this is happening.

“This imperial seal is a good thing. I know I don’t have your brains. Besides, with you as the emperor of this country, the people and the world will naturally be peaceful.”

"We've been together for over twenty years, and I've never truly seen through you."

After the eldest prince finished speaking, he walked away.

At this moment, she slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Xiyou.

"My mother loved me the most in her life. If I die, can I be buried with her?"

“He hates the Huang family the most, but he’s trapped here for the rest of his life. I was wondering if it wouldn’t be too much trouble to take our ashes to the border region?”

As Xiao Dongyang said this, he placed the sword against his neck, twisted it, and blood gushed out.

Xiao Xiyou clenched the national flag tightly in his hand, as if he had suddenly cramped up.

Zhou Zhizhi saw this scene as soon as she arrived.

Xiao Xiyou knelt in a pool of blood, still holding a long sword in his hand.

The surrounding area was filled with the corpses of those who held high positions, making it look desolate and lonely.

“Xiao Xiyou…”

Zhou Zhizhi called out softly.

It was getting late, and Zhou Zhizhi was a little scared; her voice was trembling.

Xiao Xiyou turned around and forced a smile.

"Zhizhi, I thought I would hate them..."

Zhou Zhizhi didn't say anything, but after shedding a tear, she went over and hugged him tightly.

"But you didn't do any of this, did you?"

When I arrived, I noticed that there wasn't a single trace of blood on the longsword.

It was the third year of Xiao Xiyou's reign.

The country enjoys favorable weather and abundant harvests, and the people live in peace and contentment.

They have even signed treaties with enemy countries, agreeing not to contradict each other, and now the people can live a peaceful and stable life.

There was only one empress in the harem.

Zhou Zhizhi was caught again when she tried to escape by climbing over the wall with her luggage.

"Empress? Where are we going?"

Zhou Zhizhi gave an awkward laugh, then turned around and saw Xiao Xiyou dressed in a dragon robe, looking as if he had just gotten out of bed.

They were also holding the hand of a little baby, which was their eldest son.

"Mother, are you neglecting your son again?"

The little dumpling's voice is so sweet and it's really cute.

How could that be?

"Your mother loves you the most."

Xiao Xiyou calmly took the package from him.

"You said the other day that you wanted to travel to the border region, and a carriage has already been prepared."

When Zhou Zhizhi heard this, she was somewhat incredulous.

As they approached the border region in the carriage, he turned around to look at his husband and child sitting behind him.

"Now that you're gone, will the important affairs of the court...?"

Xiao Xiyou smiled faintly: "Big brother's illness has almost healed, it's time for him to get some rest."

Xiao Dongyang slammed his fist on the table in anger as he looked at the mountain of memorials piled on it.

However, his family was already in the border region.
