Qianqing Palace…

"You...you are a rebellious son!"

The emperor, who was sitting on the bed, was shaking with anger. He pointed at the prince with trembling hands and said angrily.

The queen carefully supported the emperor, her eyes full of worry.

Yesterday, after the Queen said that Yuxi was gone, the Crown Prince and Uncle Xiao came with a group of people before daybreak this morning, surrounded the entire Qianqing Palace, and took her and the Queen under control.

The prince has been saying some radical words until now, which obviously has other purposes.

But even though the emperor noticed something, he was still very angry.

The queen is very worried about the emperor's health.

"I can't help it. Who told my father not to give up the throne? I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure!"

The prince said disdainfully that he would be the emperor soon anyway, and being scolded by his father would not lose any weight!

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will definitely help the Crown Prince govern the Xia Kingdom better and better."

At this time, Uncle Xiao also said with a stern face.

Last night he was working hard with his concubine, but a servant came to report that there was a thief in the mansion and things in the storeroom had disappeared.

When he went to check, the things in the warehouse were gone, and even the things in the secret room were gone, not a single penny left! He was so angry that his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Not long after, the servants came to report again, saying that the masters in the mansion claimed to have lost something. Upon investigation, they found that in the entire Xiao Mansion, not a single valuable item was left.

Even the servants’ valuables were gone.

Uncle Xiao simply couldn't hold it in any longer, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, then fainted.

When he woke up again, he received news from the palace asking him to come in to discuss countermeasures.

Thinking about his great cause, he dragged his broken body into the palace.

After discussion, both Uncle Xiao and the Crown Prince felt that it would be better to act sooner rather than later. Since the jade seal was gone, they could only resort to force!

"Should I thank you? Xiao Sui, I think I have never wronged your Xiao family over the years. Is this the right thing for the emperor?"

The queen regained her composure, glared at Xiao Sui, and questioned.

The emperor was right. Xiao Sui and the late emperor were actually brothers who had shared life and death together. It was said that Xiao Sui had saved the late emperor at that time. Out of gratitude, Xiao Sui brought the empress dowager, who was only 15 years old at the time, into the palace and directly made her a concubine. This was unprecedented!

From this moment on, the Xiao family began to walk on a downhill road.

It's a pity that people are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants! Xiao Jia is no longer satisfied with that little bit of benefit, he has been using the Queen Mother to achieve his own goals.

"Thank you? I saved his life, but he just took my useless sister into the palace, and I was only given a small official position. I think he had already set his sights on my sister, but he is waiting here. I wasted all my planning, but ended up paving the way for my sister."

Xiao Sui snorted coldly and said unwillingly.

He had known her when he was the crown prince. After he became the emperor, he thought that since they were friends, he would at least take care of her.

As a result, I just leave him alone and only look for him when I feel bored.

So he thought of a way to put the emperor in prison and risk his life to save him.

Unexpectedly, the plan succeeded, but the final result was that he lost half his life and was only given a small official title, while his playful sister became a concubine and even made a leap to become the queen in the end.

How could he endure this?

"Haha! I guess that matter has something to do with you."

The emperor heard the implication of his words, his eyes flickered, and he sneered.

When he heard the empress dowager's story, he felt that there was something fishy.

"What does it matter if you know? It's been so many years since the incident. There is no evidence anymore. The late emperor is gone, and you are going to die soon! From now on, the throne will belong to my grandson!"

Xiao Sui said nonchalantly.

When the prince ascends the throne and he is in power, won't the world belong to him?

"It really doesn't matter!"

The queen nodded faintly, agreeing with what he said very much.

"Stop talking nonsense, drink this, and I will send the emperor and empress off!"

Xiao Sui gritted his teeth, pointed to the bowl beside him, and spoke to the emperor and queen.

The prince stood aside without saying a word. At first he was looking at the emperor and the others, but when he heard his grandfather feeding him medicine, he couldn't bear it and turned his head away.

"Xiao Sui, you are committing regicide!"

The emperor took a look at the two bowls that had been there for a while and glared at Xiao Sui. He didn't expect that they were poison!

The Xiao family is so courageous!

"So what if I killed the king? You, the Cheng family, were the first to wrong me. Why should you be in charge of the world? It's time for someone else to take over the throne!"

Xiao Sui laughed arrogantly, then waved his hand and asked the soldier beside him to come forward and feed him medicine.

This time the two soldiers did not hesitate and walked to the emperor's dragon bed, wanting to ask for help from the emperor.

"What are you doing? You are committing regicide and treason, and you will exterminate your entire clan!"

The queen standing by was horrified when she saw this. She hurriedly stood in front of the emperor and shouted in fear, but she protected the emperor behind her and did not move.

"After you die, who will punish our nine clans? Hurry up and act. Since the queen wants to go first, then the queen should go first. We must complete the task before dawn."

Xiao Sui frowned and shouted.

It was almost dawn, and they had to hurry. His men had already gone to invite those officials into the palace. Once they were in the palace, he would have the final say.

The two soldiers looked at each other, and their eyes instantly became fierce.

"yes!"

The two men did not insist on arresting the emperor. Instead, one of them directly grabbed the queen's arm and held her down, while the other held the queen's face and poured the medicine into her mouth.

The emperor was very anxious and angry when he saw this. How dare they?!

"Let go of the queen, let me go, cough cough cough! Puff!!"

The emperor finally sat on the bed, anxiously trying to stop it, but suddenly remembered that he was very weak due to the poison and had no strength at all. He could only grab the arm of the soldier closest to him, but he couldn't open it.

He was so anxious that his face turned red. His blood was not flowing smoothly for a moment. He coughed violently a few times, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell down.

"Oh, now it's time for us to take action."

Seeing this, Xiao Sui stepped forward and probed his nose, sneered, and then urged the two people who were feeding the queen medicine:

"Hurry up! She's the only one missing!"

"yes!"

The two soldiers, who had just been sprayed with blood by the emperor, came to their senses and, not caring about the blood on their bodies, began to pour blood into the queen's mouth.

The queen's face was covered with tears, and she closed her eyes in despair:

"Your Majesty, I am waiting for you downstairs. Hao'er, your mother will never see you again, but knowing that you are still alive and well, your mother is also relieved!"

Not long after the poison was fed to the queen, blood started flowing from the corner of her mouth. She closed her eyes and fell on the emperor's body.

"Wipe off the blood and check whether they are dead. The next step is up to you, Prince."

Xiao Sui saw that the matter had been dealt with, and the next thing was the most important thing. As long as he ascended the throne smoothly, everything would be settled.

"Grandpa, I know what to do."

The prince nodded, not daring to look at the dragon couch again, and turned and walked out.
