“Swish!”
The tightly closed palace door opened, and Rong Qing came out with all the guards, directly separating an area around them so that no one could get within three feet of Xiao Li.
The appearance of Rong Qing meant that Princess Xuanyang would no longer protect the emperor, but at the same time she had no intention of retreating.
In an instant, the bright red in the silver frost armor stood in opposition to everyone.
Someone was shocked by the awe-inspiring army and asked in a trembling voice, "Princess Xuanyang, are you going to make everyone your enemy?"
The sound was not loud, but it was very quiet at the moment and many people heard it.
But no one moved at this moment. Everyone was waiting for Xiao Jingyu's attitude. After all, they had just recognized him as the emperor.
Xiao Jingyu took a step forward, surrounded by civil and military officials.
He looked at Xiao Li with a complicated expression: "Xuan Yang, your resistance at this moment is meaningless. We are siblings."
Xiao Li just thought it was ridiculous: "Prince Chen is really magnanimous. Even at this time, he still hasn't forgotten our brother-sister relationship."
Xiao Jingyu was firm: "We had some misunderstandings before. From now on, we will let bygones be bygones. You will still be Princess Xuanyang."
Doesn't it sound very generous? You tried to kill me several times and hurt me so badly, but not only did I not retaliate against you, I also treated you as my own sister and continued to protect your honor.
But in essence, it was just that the throne he had just obtained was in danger, and seeing Xiao Li's powerful lineup, he did not dare to fight him head-on.
It's a pity that Xiao Li has no brotherly relationship with him, and she doesn't want the glory of being a princess.
"The Lu family is a family of scholars who value their reputation above all else and would never easily get involved in treason or rebellion. The Lu family fully supported Prince Chen's ascension to the throne the first time. Besides the Lu family's status and influence within the court, the most important factor was that Lu Cang knew that His Majesty was not a descendant of the late emperor. He intended to use this truth to force Xiao Jingyun to write a letter of abdication. Unfortunately, he missed the mark and died."
Xiao Li's cold gaze fell on Xiao Jingzhao. "Prince Yanping must have just found out that Your Majesty is not his biological son, right? But have you ever thought about how this secret has been kept secret for over twenty years, and how it suddenly became known to you just when you were trying to seize the throne?"
Xiao Jingzhao suddenly woke up and looked at Xiao Jingyu: "It was you, you told me, you used me!"
Xiao Jingyu didn't answer, so Xiao Li answered for him: "Lu Cang is dead, and the Lu family was exiled, but the Lu family still exists. They still chose to support Prince Chen, a Prince who knows the emperor's secrets and will definitely protect the Lu family."
Xiao Li chuckled. "You told the King of Yanping the secret of the Emperor's life, and then chose to follow the King of Southern Qi. You killed the eldest prince and let the two of them kill each other, while you sat in the dark and reaped the benefits."
“Pah pah pah!”
“Great!”
Xiao Li clapped his hands and praised: "I always thought you were a scumbag who only knew how to put on an icy face, without the temperament of an emperor, but I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve."
"Xiao Jingyu, you are despicable and shameless!"
Xiao Jingzhao was so angry that he lost his mind. He was already furious about his failure, and he could not accept that everything he did was calculated by others, and he was making wedding dresses for others from beginning to end.
The imperial physician bandaged the King of Southern Qi's wound. He was helped to stand up, and when he heard Xiao Li's words, he was so angry that his wound burst open.
His face, which had turned pale due to blood loss, now turned red due to anger.
"Third brother, you are so sinister and have no morals at all!"
If Xiao Jingyu wanted to fight for the throne, he could have used all his strength to fight, but he chose such a sinister plan, letting the two brothers fight each other, and when they were both defeated, he became the emperor.
How can you be so insidious and disgusting?
Seeing the newly enthroned emperor about to be nailed to the pillar of shame, Taifu Feng said with a sullen face: "Those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. The King of Southern Qi and the King of Yanping have long been plotting rebellion, and Your Majesty is simply taking advantage of them."
Xiao Jingzhao's face was filled with resentment and anger: "He used us to rebel, and then came to kill us. Does that mean he is not rebelling? We are all traitors who covet the throne. Why is he noble?"
Lu Ye said righteously: "Xiao Jingyun is not the blood of the late emperor at all. This is not treason, but to eliminate the thief for the Longsheng royal family."
Xiao Jingzhao sneered: "Xiao Jingyun is not our father's bloodline, then my eldest brother and I are not either? How can it be the third brother's turn?"
"You, the Lu family, clearly chose the third son, yet you deceived my eldest brother and me. You, such cunning little bastards, have justified your actions. You are so shameless and despicable. The Xiao family's kingdom will be destroyed sooner or later if it falls into the hands of hypocritical and immoral people like you."
Xiao Li looked at Xiao Jingzhao in amazement. It's true, although the King of Yanping was very annoying, but it was quite satisfying to listen to his scolding.
In fact, there is no right or wrong in this matter. In order to seize the throne, any conspiracy or trick can be used. As long as you win in the end, they are all strategies and means worthy of praise.
In a word: the process is not important, what is important is the result. After all, history is written by the victors.
But Xiao Jingyu succeeded, but not completely.
The King of Southern Qi and the King of Yanping were both alive, and he did not have complete control of the situation.
Don't be soft-hearted towards your enemies. If you draw your knife, you must kill them to death. Otherwise, it will be like what is happening now. The person was not killed, but the conspiracy was put on trial in the sun. You were originally the winner, but now you are neither a good person nor a bad person.
This is embarrassing.
Xiao Jingyu was originally a cold and aloof person. When he was scolded, his whole body suddenly became cold and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, but he just couldn't say a word in reply.
The warrior who was holding the knife against Prince Ping of Yan's neck suddenly seemed to come to his senses and attacked directly.
“KANG!”
The silver-armored guard slashed with his sword and quickly rescued the man.
King Ping of Yan was thrown to the ground, with a look of fear on his face as if he had survived a disaster. He almost died just now.
He never dreamed that the one who saved him was Xiao Li.
Without thinking, a sentence popped out of her mind: "Xuan Yang, as long as you help me get the throne, I will make you the regent princess, and we will share the world."
Xiao Li glanced at him and said, "I'm not interested in sharing things with others."
King Ping of Yan thought that Xiao Li had rejected his proposal and was depressed.
Because King Ping of Yan was rescued, his soldiers moved towards this side. When King Southern Qi saw this, he also had people help him over.
Although Xiao Li didn't care about these two people, the current situation was three against one.
All the officials were dumbfounded. They didn't expect the situation to turn out like this.
Wang Changwen said, "Princess Xuanyang, please don't be stubborn. We have already recognized Prince Chen as the emperor. No matter who you support, we will not recognize him."
Xiao Li sneered, "Who cares if you admit it?"
Lu Ye looked at Xiao Li with a gloomy face: "You are just a woman. How can you meddle in such a major matter of state and country?"
Xiao Li sighed, "Literati are troublesome. They only talk but never act. If that's the case..."
Her expression suddenly changed, and she smiled wickedly and crazily: "Then let me give you a little shock."
