The emperor's background was exposed, and the eldest prince was deposed whether he was dead or not.

A prince who has no royal blood, even if his father is the emperor, is not legitimate after all. Even if he is forced to become the emperor, it is difficult to stop the gossip of the world.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, all the noble families who supported the eldest prince immediately began to look for a way out, and the first thing they did was to attack the queen mother, crying out that they had been deceived.

When the child was dug out, the Queen Mother knew that she was finished. The situation was hopeless and there was no way to turn things around. That night, she committed suicide with a white silk scarf.

Now that the empress dowager is dead, the emperor, who is a fake royal bloodline, naturally can no longer stay in the position of emperor. Even if he is unconscious, he must be brought down.

So the King of Southern Qi and the King of Yanping led all the civil and military officials into the palace and attacked the guards protecting the emperor.

It was unanimously decided to deal with the emperor first and then decide the winner.

"Xiao Jingyun is not of royal blood, he doesn't deserve to lie here."

"Purge those who steal the country and restore the majesty of heaven."

"Hand over the false emperor, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The two sides shouted slogans loudly, but neither of them took the first step.

Obviously, they were both on guard against each other and wanted to conserve their strength in this fight.

At this moment, the empress, dressed in plain clothes, came out holding a box containing the imperial seal. In full view of the crowd, she placed the seal on a table and said, "I will take His Majesty away to the temporary palace. His Majesty's time is running out. Even if he is not of royal blood, the fact that he has been an emperor for many years cannot be erased. As brothers, please, my two princes, please treat His Majesty with some dignity. The imperial seal is here, please take it."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house. Rong Qing also led his men in and closed the door completely.

The emperor was going to die anyway, so it didn't matter whether he was killed or not. It all depended on whether they had to kill the emperor or seize the imperial seal first.

The air was unusually quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the jade seal. Now, the power of the world was right before their eyes.

"Jing Zhao, why should we kill each other? You have an extreme personality and are not fit to rule the world. As the eldest brother, I should take care of my younger siblings. If I become emperor, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

The King of Southern Qi tried to persuade Xiao Jingzhao, but it was obvious that the temptation of the throne was too great. Having come this far, who could resist fighting for it?

Even if Xiao Jingzhao agreed out of his mind, those who supported him would not agree.

He sneered darkly, "Brother is still so hypocritical. If you really don't want to fight me, then retreat. Even when I become emperor, I will always remember your kindness."

The two looked at each other, sparks flying in the air, and it was obvious that neither of them could convince the other.

In the end, no one knew which side started the fight first, and the two sides fought each other, while the King of Southern Qi and the King of Yanping both ran towards the jade seal at the same time.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Kill!”

There were sword fights and shouts of killing, the blood splattered and was dazzling red. Corpses fell one after another, and in less than a moment the blood formed a small stream and flowed down the steps.

“Puff!”

Xiao Jingzhao stabbed the King of Southern Qi in the abdomen and snatched the box he had taken away.

The King of Southern Qi grabbed his hand tightly and knelt on the ground in pain. Suddenly, a figure passed by and snatched the jade seal box away.

Xiao Jingzhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person was Lu Ling. However, when he saw the jade seal in Lu Ling's hand, his heart suddenly tightened: "Lu Ling, give me the jade seal. This is not the time to fool around."

"Nonsense?" Lu Ling sneered playfully, "Does the King of Yanping look down on me with this tone?"

Before Xiao Jingzhao had time to think about the meaning of Lu Ling's words, he was attacked by the men of King Southern Qi the next moment. He fought hard and saw Lu Ling retreating with the jade seal in his hand from the corner of his eye. He was so anxious that he was distracted and was hit on the arm, causing him to scream in pain.

The King of Southern Qi was dragged out half-dead. His guards frantically banged on the door of the bedroom, begging the imperial physician who was treating the emperor to come out and save him.

Xiao Jingzhao thought that the King of Southern Qi had protected him once, so he didn't chase after him to finish him off. However, the King of Southern Qi's men didn't stop and kept rushing towards him to kill him.

"Stop, everyone, stop!"

Xiao Jingzhao was beaten back step by step. He didn't understand why this group of people were fighting even more fiercely when the King of Southern Qi was about to die.

Until someone put a knife to his neck.

He couldn't see who was threatening him with a knife, but he could see the man walking out from between the officials on the opposite side.

"Xiao Jingyu, why are you here?!"

He was shocked and turned his eyes to see Lu Ling standing not far from Xiao Jingyu, but the jade seal in his hand was gone.

On the other side, Lu Ye was holding the jade seal box and standing with Wang Changwen and Taifu Feng.

Just as Xiao Jingzhao looked over, they all knelt down in front of Xiao Jingyu: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, we pay our respects to you!"

Xiao Jingzhao felt that he must be hallucinating due to excessive blood loss. It was clearly him and his elder brother who were fighting for the throne, and the imperial seal was clearly in his hands, so how come Xiao Jingyu became the emperor?

Didn’t Lu Ling and Lu Ye support him?

Didn’t they agree that once he became emperor, he would help the Lu family clear their names and recall the exiled members of the Lu family?

Why did they stand next to Xiao Jingyu?

"Why? How dare you betray me!"

Xiao Jingzhao was instantly defeated, shocked, angry, and unbelievable.

He roared, "Lu Ling, why are you helping him? How did your Lu family betray me?"

Everyone over there waited for Xiao Jingyu to yell at them to stand up, but no one paid any attention. Suddenly, a quiet laugh rang out, "Of course it's because everyone has supported Xiao Jingyu from the beginning to the end. You idiot, you don't even know you've been fooled."

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the direction where the majestic silver-armored guards were escorting a woman in red clothes towards them.

The silver armor and the blood-red clothes form a strong contrast, which is eye-catching.

"Princess Xuanyang!!"

Everyone was surprised and not surprised that Princess Xuanyang finally appeared.

Xiao Jingzhao gritted his teeth: "Xuan Yang, I knew you did it on purpose."

He should obviously hate her, but when he saw Xuan Yang appear in this situation, he actually felt a little secretly happy.

Now that he has been tricked by Xiao Jingyu, he wants to see how Xiao Jingyu will deal with the threat from Xuan Yang.

Lu Ling, who had been lazily leaning against the pillar, instantly stood up straight, his eyes trembling: "Impossible... She was clearly scratched, how could she be fine?"

He was shocked that Xiao Li appeared unharmed, but at the same time he was excited about her appearance.

The princess in red, surrounded by silver-armored guards, brought a heavy sense of oppression even with her mere appearance. She walked towards him step by step, stepping on the blood-stained road.

That domineering aura, that cold and beautiful face, those ruthless and cold eyes that look down on everyone, just looking at him makes me want to pounce on him.

All the women in the world put together are not as charming, unique and fascinating as the princess sister-in-law.

All the court officials stood up, and one young man even harshly questioned Xiao Li, "If Princess Xuanyang is fine, why did she come out after so many days?"

Xiao Li didn't even bother to look at him. She didn't talk to fools.
