"You, you rebellious son, how dare you speak to me like that?" Su Yingxue was mad at him.

"Did I say something wrong? You have been partial to Xiao Yi since childhood, and now you are partial to Xiao Yanli. You have never treated me as your son, never."

"You..." Su Yingxue covered her chest.

"Is this uncomfortable?" Xiao Yanchen stood up slowly: "I wanted Nanmu, but you said Nanmu belonged to the emperor's uncle; I didn't want Ji Sangyu, but you made her my concubine; I wanted those ministers to be of the same mind as me, but you warned me not to form a clique for personal gain."

"But what about Xiao Yi? Xiao Yi got Nan Mu, and Ji Sangyu was the one he was engaged to at the time. Wouldn't he form a clique for personal gain? Isn't He Jing'an his biggest private servant?"

"I didn't know that you harbored such deep resentment towards me."

"Yes, mother, my hatred towards you is so deep. When did it start?" Xiao Yanchen continued, "Since I was a child, I always felt that you and father favored Xiao Yi more. I am obviously your son, but you want me to compete with Xiao Yi for the position of crown prince."

"Shouldn't the position of Crown Prince be mine? Why should I fight with him? Who the hell is he..."

"When I do something wrong, it seems like I have committed a huge mistake. But what about Xiao Yi? Every time you think that what he does is justified and for the sake of the people of the world, what about me? I am the prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. From now on, I will still be the one above everyone else."

"Pa..." Xiao Cheng had been worried that Su Yingxue wouldn't be able to cope with it, so he thought about it and decided to come back. He didn't expect to hear such sincere words.

"Father, Father..." Xiao Yanchen didn't expect that Xiao Cheng would come back. He didn't dare to say these words in front of Xiao Cheng, because he knew in his heart that his mother would never tell Xiao Cheng these words.

Xiao Yanchen was so scared that he knelt on the ground. Xiao Cheng walked over and hugged Su Yingxue: "Xue'er, are you okay?"

"Ah Cheng, I'm fine." Su Yingxue didn't want to say anything more: "Let him go back and reflect on himself in the East Palace."

"No, since the prince is so resentful, it is better to make it clear." In fact, Xiao Cheng knew that Su Yingxue had concealed many things for Xiao Yanchen, and she felt guilty towards Xiao Yanchen.

"Father, I am your son. I was just confused for a moment. I don't dare to have any resentment." Xiao Yanchen knew that this time Xiao Cheng would not let him go easily.

"Really?" Xiao Cheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Don't think I don't know. You dare to speak so shamelessly in front of your mother. Aren't you sure that your mother feels guilty about your childhood?"

"I don't dare."

"Don't dare?" Xiao Cheng raised his lips, his face full of majesty: "When your mother was a child, she was in poor health after giving birth, and she had to take care of your uncle and you. She was really overwhelmed. She always felt guilty because she had to take care of your uncle and sometimes ignored you."

"So when you grew up, your mother also put all her attention on you. After you were six years old, your mother almost taught you personally, but you were not talented enough."

"You are not as good as your uncle in both civil and military affairs, but your mother has never given up on you. You know it very well in your heart. If we go by virtue and ability, who do you think is more capable of being the crown prince, you or your uncle?"

"In that test back then, are you sure that you won fairly, and am I, your father, blind?" Back then, if it weren't for Su Yingxue and Xiao Yi, Xiao Cheng would not have admitted it.
