"You still want to be the crown prince?" The emperor looked at the tall young man in front of him, his eyes sharp, "So it was you who broke the seal of the Su Mansion, and it was you who killed my Imperial Guards and Embroidered Uniform Guards?"

Xiao Yinhuan smiled, a smile that was evil and dangerous.

"Then Father has wronged me. How could I be so capable? Maybe it was my cousin Su Ting or cousin Su Hong who came back?"

After saying this, Xiao Yinhuan said, "I almost forgot that the order issued by my father was that no one from the nine clans of the Su family would be spared except me and my mother. My two cousins ​​and my three-year-old cousin Chu Ge died under the sword of my father."

Xiao Yinhuan is quite good at stabbing people in the back. "It's such a pity for my uncle Su Ao who has spent his whole life defending against foreign enemies. He used his body to block the enemy, but ended up with the massacre of his entire clan."

Xiao Yinhuan raised his eyelids, his dark eyes were full of emotion, as if a ferocious beast was swimming under the calm lake, as if it was about to break out of the water. "Father's strategy of killing the running dog after the cunning rabbit dies is really used to the fullest."

"Rebellious son! Shut up!"

The emperor's head was aching, why did he have to bring this up?

Xiao Yinhuan snorted, and was very good at stabbing him in the heart. "My mother once knelt outside the Yangxin Palace for three days and three nights, refusing to eat or drink and begging my father to let the entire Su family go. Even if he didn't let the adults go, the children were innocent. She begged my father to let my eldest cousin Su Ting, my second cousin Su Hong, and my cousin Su Chuge go. My father clearly agreed, but then he killed them. My father's love and affection was to deceive, lie to, and humiliate her. Even if my mother is dead, she will never want to see you again in her life."

"Shut up!" An inkstone was thrown towards Xiao Yinhuan, and Xiao Yinhuan reached out to take it.

"I thought that my father hadn't seen me for more than ten years, and that we would be very loving and filial to each other when we met, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Xiao Yinhuan pinched the inkstone and smiled. It was a very beautiful smile. "My mother loves me the most. If she knew that my father wanted to beat me as soon as he saw me, she would definitely hate him."

He kept calling him "I" all the time, and the term "father" was extremely cold and perfunctory, without a trace of warmth and totally disrespectful.

"Father, why are you so guilty? Why are you so angry? Mother died in Ghost Mountain, and she cannot question you."

The emperor took a deep breath, covered his chest, and his face turned purple. Eunuch Hai immediately shouted anxiously, "Imperial Physician, call the imperial physician quickly."

The imperial physician carried a medicine bag and hurried to the Council Hall to take the emperor's pulse and give him medicine.

The princes and ministers below looked at the emperor worriedly.

Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Yinhuan and questioned, "At that time, Queen Su and my eldest brother fell off the Ghost Cliff and died. Their bodies were transported back to the palace and buried in the imperial mausoleum. You, a cunning commoner, don't pretend to be a prince just for the position of crown prince. This is a heinous crime that will kill all nine generations of your clan."

Xiao Yinhuan glanced at Xiao Yue.

His eyes were extremely cold. "Why, Second Prince, seeing me, your legitimate son, come back, do you feel that your position as Crown Prince is threatened?"

"Second brother, are you anxious? It's really unfortunate. I came here from Yuezhou. The river bank has collapsed, the fertile fields and houses have been washed away, and refugees and bandits are rampant, but they are suppressed by the soldiers. Second brother, you really acted well in pretending to obey and secretly disobeying, and deceiving the world."

There were immediate discussions and doubts in the court.

Xiao Yinhuan didn't waste any words and just clapped his hands. A group of disaster victims from Yuezhou came up and knelt in the temple and confessed everything about the flood in Yuezhou.

The flood was not cured at all, and even the money provided for the people's disaster relief was embezzled. Countless people were killed and injured, but all the money was suppressed.

The emperor's face was stern, and all the civil and military officials questioned him.

Xiao Yinhuan was extremely disdainful, "A prince with such bad morals who harms the people, do you think he is worthy of being the crown prince?"

"You must be slandering me. These people are not victims of the Yuezhou disaster at all."

One of the ragged commoners immediately spoke in Yuezhou dialect upon hearing this, "Whether it is true or not, the emperor can find out by sending someone to investigate. If we don't provide disaster relief, the refugees will become bandits and the world will be in chaos. How can you be the crown prince if you conceal the disaster just to win credit?"

The emperor was so angry that his beard stood up. "Second brother, you are so brave!"

Xiao Yue knelt down and continued to argue, "Father, you are wise. He framed me."

"From now on, stay in Chaocheng Palace and do not leave without the emperor's order."

Even facing death, Xiao Yue remained calm, "Father, he framed me. It must be him who set this up."

The emperor didn't like Xiao Yinhuan's face, which didn't look like him at all. He said gloomily, "Take him down."

Immediately, guards in armor rushed into the palace and surrounded Xiao Yinhuan with swords.

But a man in a scarlet official robe stood there, with a graceful figure, like a banished immortal, looking arrogant and disdainful.

"Father is so cruel. I have survived a disaster and returned home, but Father wants to kill me a second time?"

"Take it!"

Xiao Yinhuan lowered the corners of his lips, uttered a huh, drew the sword of one of the guards, and slowly drew a circle around himself. All the guards were suddenly shocked by an external force, their internal organs were ruptured, and they all fell to the ground with a scream.

"Escort!"

Eunuch Hai, seeing that Xiao Yinhuan dared to hold a sword in the palace, immediately protected the emperor and shouted to protect him. Then another group of Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards gathered from all directions.

Fu Ya and Fu Xuan immediately drew out the swords of the two guards and stood in front of Xiao Yinhuan.

Xiao Yinhuan looked at the shocked emperor and raised the corners of his lips, "Father, I want the royal house in Qingyi Lane as my palace."

After saying this, Xiao Yinhuan put the sword back into the scabbard of the Imperial Guards. He smiled, his smile was as bright as the wind and the moon, "Father, I came back to recognize you and take back my status as a prince. I don't want to be hostile to you. After all, I learned filial piety when I was a child, and I will definitely practice it myself."

The emperor felt creepy looking at his smile. He must have come back to avenge the Su family, and there was nothing about his face that looked like his own. If he wasn't caught today, with his madness, there was no telling to what extent he would destroy the world.

He ordered the Imperial Guards and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, "What are you still standing there for? Capture him."

He just didn't believe that with so many people, they couldn't take him down.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Imperial Guards immediately surrounded Xiao Yinhuan.

"What is father doing? If mother knew that the son she wanted to protect before her death was killed by his father, she would be very disappointed with him, right?"

He mentioned Su Yun again.

As soon as Xiao Zheng heard Su Yun's name, his heart ached and his head was buzzing with pain, as if it had been pricked by a needle.

Xiao Yinhuan stopped smiling and said, "Since the emperor doesn't want this father-son relationship, then I don't have to care, right?"

Just at this time, Fu Ya came to report, "Master, there is news about Miss Shen."

Xiao Yinhuan was originally in a bad mood, but he suddenly felt relieved after hearing this. "Where is she?"

"On South Street."

Xiao Yinhuan just wanted to see Shen Yinong as soon as possible and didn't want to waste time here.

When Xiao Zheng was about to send someone over, Pang Jing came in with a horrified look on his face, "Your Majesty, there are 100,000 elite soldiers lying in ambush outside Shangjing City, all of them are well-armed."

Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Yinhuan, "The soldiers are yours?"

Xiao Yinhuan nodded, "They are my soldiers, father. I have something else to do, so I won't play with you anymore. I don't want the position of crown prince, but I still want the title of King Jing. I hope the imperial edict to confer the title of King Jing will be announced to the world soon. King Jing's mansion is in Qingyi Lane, and I like it very much."

Xiao Yinhuan turned the tip of his shoe in another direction, "If I don't see the imperial edict later, my 100,000 troops will attack the palace, and your throne will not be so stable. I don't have to be the crown prince, I can directly ascend the throne as the emperor."

"Xiao Yinhuan! Do you want to kill your father and seize the throne?"

Xiao Zheng was so angry that he almost died.

"It's unfair. I'm the eldest prince. I came back to take back my status as King Jing. It was my father who took action first. I can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"

"Jinyiwei, Imperial Guards, capture him and kill him on the spot!"

Soldiers immediately surrounded them.

"Since the emperor doesn't want a loving father and filial son, then I don't have to act."

Xiao Yinhuan did not stop and snapped his fingers. More than twice as many assassins in black clothes and wearing ghost masks rushed in from outside the door. Xiao Yinhuan lowered his eyebrows and smiled strangely, "Kill!"

There were sounds of fighting behind me.

Xiao Yinhuan walked out of the palace in a hurry and asked Fu Ya, "Shen Yinong, where is she on South Street?"

"Today is the Qiqiao Festival. She is watching a show at Zhaixing Tower. There are prizes for that show. It seems that Miss Shen really wants to participate."
