Seeing that the situation was hopeless and knowing that he could not escape today, Wu Jiaqi suddenly started to giggle, and laughed more and more crazily, until tears came out of his eyes.

He stretched out his hand to push away Zi Han's sword. Zi Han glanced at Chu Yunxi, who signaled her with her eyes that she could step back. Only then did she put away her sword and took a step back.

Wu Jiaqi sat up, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and said, "Brother? I'm still your biological son, how did you treat me?"

Wu Beichen was stunned and asked, "How did I treat you? Did I treat you unfairly?"

"Yes, you didn't treat me badly," Wu Jiaqi stood up and stared at Wu Beichen, "I am the eldest young master in the palace, I have no shortage of food or clothes, but have you ever really paid attention to me? Have you ever really asked me what I want? From childhood to adulthood, as long as he likes something, no matter how much I like it, I must give it to him. If he wants the moon in the sky, you will pick it for him, but what about me? Do you remember that one time, I just felt uncomfortable in my stomach and wanted to eat a bowl of noodles, but because it was his birthday that day, you kept the whole kitchen busy and couldn't spare anyone to make a bowl of noodles for me. I waited for three hours, but I didn't get a bowl of noodles. You forgot about me completely and made me unable to sleep because of my stomachache. I clearly told you, but he was the only one in your eyes and heart."

Wu Beichen took a step back, speechless.

Wu Jiaqi continued, "Another time, you went to Dasui and brought him many gifts, but only brought me an inkstone. I really liked that inkstone, and I didn't mind that you gave me less gifts. But then something happened. He saw the inkstone and said it was beautiful and wanted to be my father. You asked me to give it to him and said you would buy me a better one later. But did you buy it? Does he read? Does he write? Is he worthy of such a good inkstone? I am more knowledgeable and talented than him, but just because I am a concubine, do I have to give in to him in everything?"

Wu Beichen lowered his voice, "You always say it doesn't matter, I thought you didn't care..."

"I don't care, ha." Wu Jiaqi laughed again, "If I don't say it doesn't matter, what else can I do? You said I'm the eldest brother and should give in to my younger brother, fine, I will give in, I can give in to him in everything, but why should the position of the crown prince be given to a person who is uneducated and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun? Have you considered my feelings and the future of the palace? I tell you, this time, I don't want to give in anymore, I just want to kill him, so that I don't have to give in to him again in my life."

Wu Jiaqi had a crazy look on his face and fierce eyes. He finally said out loud what he had been holding back in his heart for years. His eyes were filled with burning pleasure.

Everyone was shocked by his madness. No one spoke, even Wu Lingqi fell silent.

At this moment, Zhao walked in step by step and slapped Wu Jiaqi on the face, stopping his laughter. Wu Lingqi took a step forward and said in shock, "Mother."

Zhao stopped Wu Lingqi's movements, just looked at Wu Jiaqi in front of her, and said word by word: "Do you feel wronged? Do you think you have paid a lot? Have you given in a lot? I tell you, you should give in! Your biological mother died of dystocia when giving birth to you, and you have been raised by my side since you were a child. When Lingqi was still in your belly, you were sick and only let me hold you to sleep. I held you all night long, and you recovered from your illness, but I got sick from exhaustion, and almost lost Lingqi. Because of that illness, Lingqi was weak since birth, and he has been taking medicine since he was a child. The medicine was too bitter, and he cried every time he took the medicine. You found it annoying, so I could only let the nanny take you to another room. I was afraid that you would kick off the quilt when you slept at night, so I would go to your room every night in the middle of the night to cover you with the quilt. I have been covering you for a full ten years until you grew up and stopped kicking the quilt. Until now, I still wake up once in the middle of the night when I go to bed."

Zhao was too tired to talk and stopped. Wu Jiaqi's expression changed unpredictably, but he didn't say anything.

Zhao sat down and said, "Ling Qi has loved to follow you since he was a child. That's right, he doesn't like to study because he is weak. The imperial physician once said that he would not live long. Your father and I wanted him to have more freedom and happiness in his short life. We already have an excellent son like you. What does it matter if Ling Qi is not excellent enough? But Ling Qi thinks about you everywhere. If there is anything good, he will give it to you as soon as possible. You gave him that inkstone, and he begged your father to buy you your favorite rare calligraphy and painting the next day and hung it in your room. You said that your father gave him the position of the prince. Do you know that it was because His Majesty was afraid of your father and you were too excellent? Ling Qi had a reputation for being playful. In order to reassure His Majesty, your father had to do this. Afterwards, Ling Qi begged your father for a long time, saying that he was not the material to be a prince or a prince, and asked your father to pass the position of the prince to you. For the sake of the overall situation, your father did not agree, but you, you actually wanted to kill your brother for this..."

Zhao covered her chest again. Wu Jiaqi's face changed drastically. He looked at Wu Lingqi and moved his lips for a long time before asking, "Did you ask father to pass the throne of the crown prince to me?"

Wu Lingqi said angrily: "I didn't want the position of the crown prince in the first place. I told you that it was your heart that blinded your eyes. You don't believe what I said at all, right?"

Wu Jiaqi had a complicated expression. He shook his head and said, "Impossible, it's impossible that you don't want the position of the crown prince. You are lying to me."

Wu Lingqi sneered, "Look, you still don't believe me. You always think that I, like you, take the position of the Crown Prince very seriously. But brother, what I want is never those things, but for our family to live in harmony and happily every day."

"Impossible, impossible," Wu Jiaqi said like crazy. He had been obsessed with this for so many years, but now he was suddenly told that it was all wrong. He was just judging others by his own standards. He really couldn't accept it.

Wu Beichen sighed and said, "I originally petitioned His Majesty to let you serve in the Imperial Academy. When there is a crown prince in the future, you will be the crown prince's tutor because of your outstanding talent. Even if you are not the prince of the Prince of Qi's mansion, I have already paved the way for you. You will be invaluable in the future. But Jiaqi, you have ruined all of this!"

Wu Jiaqi hugged his head, "No, it's not like that. You have only had Wu Lingqi in your eyes since childhood. There has never been a place for me, never. You said this just to make me feel guilty and admit my mistakes. Yes, it must be like this. I tell you, I am not wrong. As long as he dies, I will be the only prince of the Qi Palace, and all of this will be mine, mother, I will be filial to your mother, mother, please save me..."

Wu Jiaqi finally burst into tears, his mentality had completely collapsed at this point.
