Prince Duan and other royal relatives were deceived by Prince Wei. They were originally called here by Prince Ping of Yan and Prince Qi in order to expel Xiao Jingyun from the clan.
The original plan was for them to pull the emperor out first and then put him on trial.
As a result, plans could not keep up with changes. As soon as the queen put down the imperial seal, they started fighting among themselves.
Before a result was reached, King Chen appeared.
I thought Prince Chen would be the final winner, but unexpectedly, Princess Xuanyang appeared in the end and took care of all three of them.
From outside, they heard people inside shouting "Long live the empress". They were anxious and cursed Xiao Li.
The King of Wei stood calmly before the crowd. After everyone cast their hopeful eyes on him, he said, "My sister did all this for me. We have the best relationship, and she only wants to support me to ascend the throne. However, I am weak and alone. My sister has taken all the blame to protect me. Now, if we go in and everyone persuades my sister, she will have a way out and she will give me the throne."
In short, the King of Wei deceived the royal relatives into believing that as long as they asked, Xiao Li would hand over the throne.
Even though the King of Wei betrayed them at first sight and stood firmly on Xiao Li's side, they still thought that the King of Wei was putting on an act.
Prince Duan stepped forward, acting like an elder. "Xuanyang, you've suffered so much. Today's farce ends here. I will expel Xiao Jingyun from the clan. You hand over the jade seal to Prince Wei, and we will support him as emperor. This child has a kind heart and will remember your kindness for the rest of his life."
If you are asked to give up the treasure you have already obtained, and then others treat you well for the rest of their lives, it sounds like you should be grateful.
Even dogs won’t eat this pancake.
A hint of mockery flashed across Xiao Li's eyes. He shook the imperial seal in his hand and then held it out to the King of Wei: "You want this?"
Xiao Jingyi was so frightened that he knelt down immediately: "No, I wholeheartedly support the Imperial Sister as the Emperor. Long live Her Majesty!"
Xiao Li looked at everyone and said, "It seems that your Prince Wei doesn't want me to remember his kindness for the rest of my life."
Xiao Jingyi shuddered. Sister, please don't hold a grudge. He didn't say that.
"Imperial sister, I dare not."
Prince Duan frowned. It was really embarrassing that Prince Wei was so scared as soon as they met.
An elder looked at the three people behind him, his cloudy eyes revealing a shrewd calculation: "Since ancient times, the eldest son of the legitimate wife has been appointed as the heir. If it were you, I would say that the throne should still go to the King of Southern Qi."
Others immediately echoed: "Indeed, if there had been no fake prince, the throne should have been passed to the King of Southern Qi."
Someone raised their hand and said, "Princess Xuanyang, please release the princes."
Xiao Li kicked King Wei in annoyance: Did you bring a few old men in here just to disgust her?
"It seems that you are also dissatisfied with me as the new emperor."
"Come here, take him down!"
The silver-armored guard stepped forward to grab the man, and had the foresight to prepare a cloth to gag his mouth, and simply covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Xiao Li came here to seize the throne, not to listen to them preaching about how to distribute the throne.
She doesn't recognize any uncles or clan elders.
If they still don’t face reality after being warned once, I will kill them all.
So, she turned around and looked at the three people behind her.
The Silver Armored Guards kicked each of them, and all three of them knelt on the ground.
Xiao Li drew out his long knife, stabbed it into King Chen's abdomen, and quickly pulled it out the next moment.
King Chen instantly fell to the ground and convulsed, with blood flowing all over the floor.
The other two were so frightened that their faces went numb.
Xiao Li's eyes were cold and his tone was icy: "You can refuse to recognize me as the emperor, and I disdain your recognition. It's not important. I just have some value for the time being, so I'll spare your lives."
"Drag him away."
The Silver Armor Guards brought three fine steel cages, one for the three princes, one for the old ministers and princes, and one for Lu Yanzhi and people related to the Lu family.
The people from the Lu family just saw that Lu Yanzhi was not a living person, but a zombie. Even after his arms and legs were chopped off, he didn't bleed much, and he was still alive and struggling.
Now locked in a cage together, the group trembled with fear: "Ahhhhhh! Don't come over here!!!"
Xiao Li took a look and found that there were not enough cages.
However, the stainless steel cage is difficult to make, so I'll just have to make do with it for now.
Everyone in the Lu family collapsed: Don’t compromise, you can’t compromise at all!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three more cannon shots rang out, and everyone shuddered in fear.
The bloody scene just now was so shocking that I was afraid that the shells would fall when I heard the sound.
Now only the King of Wei dared to ask, "My sister, what are you doing?"
A sinister smile flashed through Xiao Li's eyes: "They are just a bunch of rabble who don't know their own limitations."
It doesn't matter, he'll be quiet after a few shots.
All the dissenting voices were suppressed, and Xiao Li threw the jade seal back into Lou Yan's hands.
The imperial seal, the military token, these powers that everyone dreams of are all in his hands, and everyone in the world is crazy about it.
Lou Yan just took a look, put the jade seal into the box, and followed Xiao Li respectfully holding the box.
The door of the main hall had already been opened, and people were kneeling neatly on the floor inside.
The Queen knelt at the front and led everyone in bowing: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress!"
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress!"
The empress accepted Xiao Li as emperor very well. The others were servants and imperial physicians. Seeing that the empress had accepted it, they seemed to have nothing to object to.
We are all slaves, so it doesn't matter who we serve.
Xiao Li paused, then stepped forward, bent down, and helped the queen up: "Sister-in-law, please don't be polite."
In her surprised gaze, he raised his hand to straighten her hair bun, smiling gently and affectionately.
"I know my sister-in-law doesn't like trouble, but I still have to let her do it. You know the harem better than me, and I need your help in arranging these people."
Xiao Li's expression was very friendly, but the Queen could feel that his gaze was not on her. Even when he smiled, it was cold and her heart tightened. "I am willing to serve Your Majesty."
In the back, Wang Wanqing's eyes sparkled with shock and excitement. She rushed to Xiao Li and said, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty."
Xiao Li glanced at her and raised his hand to push her forehead away.
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
There was a strong smell of medicine in the hall. Xiao Li walked to the bedside and looked at the emperor lying on the bed. His face was as pale as paper and deathly pale.
He is dead.
The Queen and Cen An followed, and the others were waiting outside the screen.
Queen: "He died two hours ago. There was chaos outside, so I suppressed it and didn't announce it."
Xiao Li nodded: "I'll have someone take him away and bury him secretly."
Xiao Jingyun's background does not allow him to be buried in the Xiao family's imperial tomb. Even though he has been emperor for so long, a bastard is still a bastard. Rather than having his corpse dug out and whipped in the future, it is better to bury him secretly and let him rest in peace.
The Queen: "The Queen Mother hanged herself. A mourning hall should be set up, but she is guilty. Your Majesty, please make the decision."
Empress Dowager, if the Queen hadn't said it, Xiao Li would have forgotten about her.
"Return it to the family and let them bury it themselves."
She didn't want to become the emperor herself, and the first thing she would do was to kowtow and cry to the empress dowager.
unlucky!
