He knew that hastily altering the imperial edict would inevitably have various loopholes, but he had to ensure that the prince's decree was legitimate.
Even if there are many doubts.
An Wuxi chuckled, “This imperial edict was indeed written by me. The Khan is too weak to hold a pen, so he ordered me to imitate his handwriting and write it on his behalf. He also ordered me to secretly replace the latest imperial edict of succession.”
Gu Modi was furious. "Nonsense! The Khan values the Sixth Prince the most. How could he change the successor at the last minute? Even if Xiao Chi's achievements are as great as the heavens, he cannot win the hearts of the people as a slave. An Wuxi, you have audaciously altered the imperial edict!"
An Wuxi declared with an air of righteous indignation, "I am loyal to the Khan and to the Northern Barbarians. If I am lying, may I be struck by lightning!"
He pointed at Xiao Long without fear and said, "Why does the Khan want to change the imperial edict? Your Highness, you don't understand, so let me tell you."
"You acknowledge Xiao Zhixing as your own sister, yet you've lost your memory and forgotten your past. How can the Khan feel at ease passing the throne to you?"
"If the throne is in your hands, and you are misled by Xiao Zhixing in the future, wouldn't you just hand over the country?"
"Sixth Prince, I have no selfish motives. You are a man of great loyalty and have taken good care of the First Prince, which is something the Khan is pleased with. But now, ask yourself, if you were to face Xiao Zhixing on the battlefield in the future, would you kill her with your own hands?"
An Wuxi coughed violently, "I will not live much longer either. After this matter, I will go down to accompany the Khan. Like the Khan, I cannot let go of the Northern Barbarians. Sixth Prince, the First Prince is very close to you. I hope you will reconsider."
The sound of falling leaves could be heard in the main hall.
