My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Cui Qimo's lips turned pale, his face was bloodless, "I am too soft-hearted. I should have killed you long ago. I should have killed you long ago. I should have..."

"Please wake up, Father!" Cui Hongjing interrupted him harshly, "You picked the wrong person from the beginning! You should not target your son, but someone else."

He took a deep breath and said, "I might as well tell you that among these sons of yours, there really is one who is not your own, but it is not me! You can take your time to guess who it is. If you really can't guess, just kill them all one by one. Hahahaha..."

Looking at Cui Hongjing's back as he walked away with a wild laugh, Cui Qimo spat out a mouthful of blood and pulled Eunuch Li's sleeve, "Go, kill him, kill him! I want him dead--"

Eunuch Li hesitated and did not move, "Your Majesty, Prince Jing is gone, you were poisoned... and the tiger master from Changguo is approaching..."

When Cui Hongjing came out of the main hall, he was greeted by Cui Hongxiao's handsome face, which was as firm as a rock sculpture.

"Third brother." Cui Hongxiao stepped forward and looked at him steadily: "Even if he is wrong in some ways, he is still our father after all. How could you poison your own biological father?"

"Father?" Cui Hongjing sneered, "I know you are outside, but I didn't mean to hide everything I said to him from you. So you should have heard that our father poisoned our royal grandfather to death. He is also his father! Prime Minister Mei is Mei Qianyue's father, but he wants Prime Minister Mei dead! Just because of a groundless guess, he can slaughter my mother's family. My grandfather, Grand Secretary Dong, is the father of the woman he loves most! Lao Wu just said a fair word for my grandfather, and he made Lao Wu never return to Beijing. He is also Lao Wu's father! Haha, I don't have such a father."

Cui Hongxiao closed his lips tightly, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

Yes, for more than ten years, he had seen how his father treated Cui Hongjing. He had not experienced that pain, so what could he say?

Cui Hongjing patted his shoulder and said, "Father won't have much time left, and he won't be able to make any more waves. You should take care of the aftermath. I've said before that I'm not interested in that position. That position is yours."

"Third brother, I can't." Cui Hongxiao hesitated. As a prince, it would be false to say that he didn't want that position, but he had concerns. He gritted his teeth and mustered up his courage: "I was injured on the battlefield and I won't have any offspring."

Cui Hongjing was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and patted his shoulder again, "Sixth brother, this is not a problem. Let Qianyue go and ask Xue'er to treat you. Xue'er will find a way."

After saying this, he looked at Cui Hongqi thoughtfully for a moment, then turned around and went to the Tianlao.

Even though he was in prison, even though his clothes were dirty, his hair was messy, and he looked haggard, Cui Hongqi still looked as handsome as a banished immortal.

"Do you want to know how you lost?" Cui Hongjing asked calmly.

"That's because you trusted the wrong person." Cui Hongqi smiled calmly.

"Not really. In fact, you were destined to lose from the very beginning." Cui Hongjing's eyes flashed with cunning, "Because every step you take is given by me. How can you not lose?"

Cui Hongqi's gentle face suddenly became a little uneasy, but his tone remained gentle, "I would like to hear the details."

……

After Cui Hongjing left, Cui Hongqi curled up on the dirty ground like an ant, his whole body convulsing.

All hopes and aspirations vanished.

He is no longer the most talented scholar in Dazhen who is as handsome as jade. He is just a most humble loser who has fallen from the clouds to the mud and is at the mercy of others and trampled upon.

Every word Cui Hongjing said just now was like a thorn, piercing his heart and unable to be pulled out.

"Do you think you kidnapped Hua Lao Er from the Tiegu Gang? He was captured on purpose so that you would know that he is a descendant of the Nanyue royal family. You would only believe what he said under torture, right?"

"Why? Of course it's to make you determined to rebel. Just like you said, you are not fully prepared and the time is not ripe. It's just that your background makes you have to rebel. Your background is known by Hua Lao Er, and there is no guarantee that others will know it. How can you not be anxious? As long as you are anxious, you will reveal your flaws."

"Of course, the one who forced you to kill father was actually father himself, because he knew that you were Lord Ye and that you were from the He Ran family... Oh, Lin Cairen told father the latter. Do you remember the Eighth Prince's biological mother, Lin Cairen?"

"I didn't intend to involve Lin Cairen. It was just a coincidence, purely a coincidence. I'm not so unscrupulous as to take advantage of my eighth brother."

"Do you want to know when I started to doubt you? Do you still remember the death of Gou Gen's family of three? Those three died on the night they offended Mei Xue'er. After excluding all the impossible people, you are the only one present that day. I thought you had improper thoughts about Xue'er at first, but later I found out that I was wrong. You have a perverted mentality towards her. You want to have her, and it has nothing to do with love between men and women. You just treat her as your mother. After all, she and your mother are both descendants of the Nanyue royal family, and they both like plum blossoms. In your opinion, they are very similar, at least you can find the shadow of your mother in her. Therefore, you must do everything possible to get her, and anyone who hurts her must die. You are so anxious and worried that you reveal too many flaws."

"So, if you want to blame someone, blame your good mother. She has foreign blood in her body but her heart is higher than the sky. She has made countless enemies in the harem and murdered many princes. When she failed to kill me, she even fabricated a so-called truth, which caused me to be suspected and targeted by my father for fifteen years. Your mother's death is of course your own fault, but you are just like your mother, your heart is higher than the sky. No matter how you pretend to be indifferent to court affairs and have a clear moon and a gentle breeze, you can't hide the filth and ambition in your heart."

"Oh, by the way, you have another trump card in your hand, that is, you hold the imperial seal of the Hengdu Empire... Don't be surprised, of course I know, because the seal is really made by Mo's craftsmanship. The person who made the seal was Li Mo who borrowed it from me, and Li Mo gave it to Du Zheng, and finally it came into your hands... Naturally, you have no way to tell whether it is real or fake, because the craftsman I lent to Li Mo is a craftsman from Se Tianxiang in my country, and he is also the only heir of Mo's craftsmanship. As long as there is good jade, it is easy to imitate an imperial seal."

"I know you have many people outside, but I am not in a hurry at all. Because I know they are planning to use this imperial seal to command the world to start another uprising, and this is also your next move. But it is just a high-quality imitation. Haha, when the time comes, as long as the only heir of the Mo family shows up and tells the truth, your imperial seal will only be a joke."

"I know you regard Helian Lanfeng as a stink bug. After I capture him, I will stay in the same room with you, so that our unique young master can face a stink bug day and night, okay? Hahaha..."

Cui Hongqi, who was curled up on the ground, gasped for breath and it took him a long time to recover. He then stood up, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and returned to his original gentle and jade-like appearance.

However, a ruthless light gradually appeared in those extremely beautiful eyes again, and a vicious sneer appeared on his mouth.
