Emperor Qianwu sneered, "Why? Do you think he lives a better life than you?"

"Before he was four years old, I barely knew of his existence. Furthermore, due to a feud with his brother, which implicated his mother, he suffered humiliation within the palace. He then entered General Yunwei's mansion to learn martial arts and became his adopted son."

"But then, he went alone to the State of Chen as a hostage. Xiao Tingshan, do you think it feels good to be a hostage in an enemy country?" Emperor Qianwu asked in a cold voice.

Xiao Tingshan opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Emperor Qianwu interrupted with a sneer, "He earned his fame and honors on his own. If you can become the new top scholar, I will look upon you with even greater respect! He also earned his troops on his own. He went to the State of Chen alone, but returned with countless confidants."

"Xiao Tingshan, do you have that ability?" Emperor Qianwu said with a sneer.

"What will you do? You will only collude with foreign tribes to seize my kingdom. You will only poison your father and steal his throne!" Emperor Qianwu said in a loud voice, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Xiao Tingshan's throat tightened, but he couldn't speak at this moment.

Xiao Tingshan clenched his fists and glared at Emperor Qianwu: "But back then, it wasn't the poison I thought it was! If I were strong and healthy, how could my father not know that I would achieve great things!"

Emperor Qianwu sneered, "Of course you wouldn't, because you are just like your mother, both of you appear to be kind, but are actually extremely despicable at heart."

Xiao Tingshan clenched his fists tightly, full of unwillingness.

Emperor Qianwu glanced at the rebel from the Li clan standing nearby and said, "You have so many Li clan masters around you. Didn't anyone tell you that your mother once placed a curse on Xie Jingchi, preventing him from practicing martial arts. If he did, he would suffer bone-eating pain?"

"What did you say?" Xiao Tingshan couldn't believe it.

Emperor Qianwu's eyes were filled with resentment: "Waste is waste. With such filthy bloodline, you are not worthy of being my son!"

"Come here, demote Xiao Tingshan to the lowest rank and place him under house arrest for life. No one is allowed to visit him!"

Xiao Tingshan struggled: "Father, I am also your son! But I have never been liked by you, I have never received your love!"

Emperor Qianwu closed his eyes and said, "You are right. I don't like your personality, and I don't have any father-son relationship with you."

Emperor Qianwu's words tore apart Xiao Tingshan's last wish for family affection.

He laughed like crazy.

After Tong Guan and his men suppressed him, Shen Shuyi turned and walked outside the hall, looked at him and said, "Xiao Tingshan, you are so pitiful."

"Shen Shuyi, you think you won, right? You think you won this time, right?" Xiao Tingshan clenched his fists, excited and angry.

"Why did you abandon me! Did you already know his identity? Why didn't you choose me like in your previous life?"

Xiao Tingshan's eyes were filled with hatred, deep and ferocious.

Shen Shuyi sneered: "Didn't I win? Oh, I forgot to tell you, my grandfather brought people to guard the palace, your people can't attack at all."

"Also, Xiao Ziqian is leading his men to strangle the rebels. You thought Meng Kuo, who was still one of your men, had no intention of letting them go."

Xiao Tingshan paused: "What do you mean?"

Shen Shuyi leaned over and said word by word, "People like you are heartless, ungrateful, and treacherous. No matter how good you pretend to be, fake is fake. Do you think others will be willing to risk their lives for your hypocrisy?"

"Also, I forgot to tell you that Xie Jingchi and I had long guessed that you would take action today. You are indeed very clever, having Shen Jingyu pretend to surrender, but people like you, I won't believe a single word you say."

"As for what you said, that no one loves you, it's true. You are just a filthy, lowly, and pathetic creature." Shen Shuyi's eyes were playful, with a hint of sympathy: "Li Tian and the Sixth Elder once treated you with great kindness, treating you as their closest family. They traveled thousands of miles to rescue you and treat your illness."

"Lou Yulan also loved you. She was so enamored with you that she was willing to be your concubine."

"Chen Zhongyi is completely devoted to you and has done all kinds of bad things for you."

"And in my previous life, I gave you everything I had and schemed for you."

"But what happened to Xiao Tingshan in the end?" Shen Shuyi smiled, full of sarcasm.

"Finally, you pushed all these people away. To you, there was no one you couldn't kill, and no one was as important as your power."

"So, what's the point of talking about love for someone like you? You don't deserve it!"

Shen Shuyi's words were so sharp that they pierced Xiao Tingshan's heart. "I don't believe it! I don't believe you won! You can say this now only because you won, so you can justify accusing me. If I had won today, if I had won!"

Shen Shuyi stood up and looked down at him: "Stop dreaming, you won't win, never."

God has eyes, so even if she had schemed everything in her previous life, she still pushed him to the position of crown prince.

But in the end, that position still did not belong to him.

"Also, the love you desire from His Majesty is nothing more than a cloak of power. If His Majesty were not His Majesty, you would not desire his love for you at all."

After all, he hoped to gain the favor and respect of Emperor Qianwu in order to gain power.

"Have you ever loved me?" Xiao Tingshan was still unwilling and stared at Shen Shuyi.

He didn't want to lose so completely, to lose everything in the end.

Listening to his words, Shen Shuyi finally couldn't help laughing. Perhaps because she thought it was too absurd, she laughed so hard that tears came down.

"Hahahaha! Xiao Tingshan, you're so ridiculous." Shen Shuyi said coldly: "People like you don't deserve anyone's love, and I have never loved you."

What she thought was love was all illusion from beginning to end, a calculation carefully woven under conspiracy.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! What right does Xie Jingchi have! What right does he have!" Xiao Tingshan struggled desperately, and the strong unwillingness and regret almost swallowed him up.

Shen Shuyi raised the corner of his lips and said lightly: "I forgot to tell you that Tong Guan is my man, and His Majesty has long known everything you have done, so he has been anxious to summon Xie Jingchi back to the palace frequently over the past year."

Xiao Tingshan looked at her absentmindedly: "What...what do you mean?"

Shen Shuyi said calmly, "I mean thank you very much. If it weren't for you, Xie Jingchi might not be able to reach that position until eight years later. Thanks to you, that time has been advanced."

Hearing this, Xiao Tingshan seemed to be greatly stimulated and struggled madly to pounce on Shen Shuyi: "Shen Shuyi, you vicious woman! Vicious woman!"

Shen Shuyi looked at him coldly. The man in front of him finally lost his composure and could no longer maintain his previous disguise.

Xiao Tingshan, it must not feel good to be making wedding dresses for others.
