Chapter 529

: Forced to Abdicate The court was in a state of silence. Everyone knew what Xiao Yanli meant by this move.

Not to mention others, he had already walked over with people.

The surrounding Jinyiwei had been taken down. Xiao Yanli walked slowly under the shocked eyes of the crowd, and Uncle Zhang stood beside him.

He was still wearing his usual purple court robe.

A minister frowned: "Sixth Prince, what do you want to do?!"

Xiao Yanli bowed slightly, and his eyes looked around: "Everyone, my father's current health is obvious to everyone. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. The prince is now deposed. What I am doing now is just following the will of heaven."

Everyone was speechless.

The next moment, another person stood up and said, "If that time really came, the emperor would have another intention, but your highness led the troops to attack the palace before the matter was settled. This is..." The minister paused and continued, "Rebellion!"

Xiao Yanli chuckled, his eyes cold and chilly, "What kind of rebellion is this? I am an orthodox prince. Now it's just that my father is unable to handle state affairs. As a son, I just share his worries."

The ministers present were all shocked by his ability to lie with his eyes open, and no one spoke for a while.

Xiao Yanli ignored them and walked towards the dragon chair.

"Wait!"

Xiao Yanli turned around and saw that it was the Prime Minister Shang Yizhi who spoke. His eyes were full of determination: "The emperor is ill in a strange way, but the Sixth Prince is forcing the emperor to abdicate at this time. We can't accept it!"

Uncle Zhang frowned and just as he moved his lips, he was stopped by Xiao Yanli.

"According to the Prime Minister, are you suspecting that I have done something to my father?"

His voice was slightly raised, and there was a strong warning in his words. Shang Yizhi turned a deaf ear to it and said loudly: "If the prince insists on forcing the emperor to abdicate, don't blame us for thinking so."

Other court officials also echoed.

Xiao Yanli sneered.

"Anyone can say this, but you, Prime Minister Shang, cannot say it," Xiao Yanli looked at Shang Yizhi, whose face suddenly changed, and said in a clear and firm voice: "According to the information I received, during the days when my father was ill, he had meals with your daughter every day. In this way, Prime Minister Shang is much more suspicious than me."

Xiao Yanli pursed his lips slightly, suppressed his smile and said in a sharp voice: "Prime Minister Shang Yizhi and his daughter Shang Anlan intended to murder the emperor. The evidence is solid. Catch them for me!"

Someone immediately stepped forward.

"Let's see who dares to take action!"

Just as Shang Yizhi was about to be arrested, a voice suddenly came from outside the palace.

Xiao Yanli looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Lingyu entering the hall in prison clothes. Although he didn't look that bad,

he was a little inferior to Xiao Yanli, who was dressed up and dressed up.

Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips.

He had rushed here quickly enough, and there was really no time for him to change clothes.

"Big brother?" The two words seemed to have passed over Xiao Yanli's tongue, with a strong contempt: "If I remember correctly, big brother should be in the imperial prison now, a prisoner, how can he come to this palace."

Xiao Lingyu looked at him unwillingly: "Shouldn't the sixth brother also be under house arrest in the mansion?"

He looked Xiao Yanli up and down: "It's just that the emperor favors you, and the house arrest is just a figment of the imagination."

Xiao Yanli's face suddenly turned cold.

Favor?

When has the emperor ever favored him?

When he was stupid, he was just a pet. When he remembered, he would tease him, and when he didn't remember, he would let him fend for himself. Is this called favoritism?

"Speaking of favoritism, everyone in Tianqi knows how much father dotes on big brother!"

Listening carefully to these words, there was a hint of jealousy.

He did not want to say more, but waved his hand to signal for action.

Xiao Lingyu did not come alone, behind him were the guards and secret guards of the East Palace.

Seeing that Xiao Yanli was about to attack Shang Yizi, Xiao Lingyu raised his hand and waved, and the guards immediately stepped forward to stop him.

The crisp sound of swords colliding echoed throughout the hall, and the ministers hid in the corner in panic. Someone stretched out his hand and cursed the ministers for being troublemakers, and said: "Even if the emperor was angry for a while and abolished the position of the prince, the emperor must still favor the prince in his heart!"

The people around him echoed.

As if he had heard something extremely funny, Xiao Yanli laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. After a long while, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips: "Brother, do you think that the emperor favors you?"

Xiao Lingyu had already had a bad feeling in his heart because of his sudden laughter. When he asked this question, the bad feeling in his heart became more obvious.

Is he...

Xiao Lingyu did not answer. Xiao Yanli sneered: "Brother, why don't you say anything? Don't you want to, or don't you dare?"

"In fact, you know it very well in your heart, but you are just a bastard who came from nowhere. You have occupied the position of the crown prince for so many years. Do you really think you are the crown prince?"

!!!

After hearing what Xiao Yanli said, everyone was stunned, their eyes fell on Xiao Lingyu in shock.

What does this mean?

The prince, not the prince? !

Xiao Lingyu's face was cold, and his teeth were clenched.

Xiao Yanli continued, pausing word by word, "Father only wanted you to be a shield. You knew your life story from the beginning to the end, but you still relied on this status to bully us. Now, you dare to jump out and stop me?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"My Lord, the throne should be handed over to me, the legitimate prince, or to this bastard. I think you have a scale in your heart."

Xiao Lingyu bit her lower lip lightly, "Nonsense!"

Although she knew what kind of person Xiao Yanli was, she couldn't help but be furious when he said such humiliating words.

He suppressed the guilt in his heart.

No matter what, he must buy time for Zhiyu and the others to come back!

Moreover, since the emperor did not reveal his background when he deposed the crown prince, he is now the eldest prince!

"You keep calling me a bastard, do you have any evidence?" Xiao Lingyu's eyes seemed to be burning with anger again: "If I am not a prince, why did my father make me the crown prince? How could my mother not even recognize her own son?"

"As for the shield, it is even more nonsense. Who am I shielding for? For you?"

"I never thought that in order to usurp power, you would not even care about the relationship between brothers and sisters, and make up such lies!"

Xiao Lingyu was heartbroken, and the ministers beside him couldn't help but believe it a little.

After all, if it was really according to what Xiao Yanli said, it would be too terrible.

What's more, what Prince Yu said that day is still in their ears.

If it was really what Xiao Yanli said, then this routine is not the same as what Prince Yu said about the emperor?

As shields, is the current emperor still the emperor who was supposed to succeed the throne?

The more you think about these things, the more you feel cold in your heart.

In comparison, they are more willing to believe what Xiao Lingyu said.
