Empress Dowager Xue and others never dreamed that it was Xiao Chi and his uncle who led the troops to attack the palace.

In other words, they are rebelling!

Empress Dowager Xue was furious. She walked up to Xiao Chi with a wave of her sleeves. With a sullen face, she raised her hand and slapped Xiao Chi.

She pointed at Xiao Chi, her eyes filled with hatred. "Xiao Chi, you bastard, why did you lead troops to rebel against your father? You are such a bastard! How can a son rebel against his father? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Queen Qin's face was stern, and she angrily said, "Prince Heng, you are truly reckless. Do you understand the consequences of your actions? Ah? Since the founding of the Great Dynasty, has anyone ever considered rebellion? And you, Prince Heng, actually led your troops in rebellion. You are worse than an animal!"

Xiao Chi looked gloomy and coldly at Queen Mother Xue and Queen Qin, "Why I want to rebel, you may not know it in your heart, but I don't mind telling you one by one!"

Then, Xiao Chi told Empress Dowager Xue and others everything the emperor had done.

He even told about how Xiao Yuanzong treated his uncle.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Xue and the others were dumbfounded, staring at Xiao Chi, Xiao Heyu and the others in amazement.

Xiao Qiwu said expressionlessly, "Mother, I couldn't understand why my brother treated us this way at first. Later, I figured it out. He wouldn't allow anyone to threaten his throne, so he drove us away to a remote place, and he didn't even allow us to get married. I thought, we're brothers, why would he treat us this way? I couldn't believe it, but later I realized he's a selfish person. There's nothing a person like him wouldn't do!"

Xiao Heyu looked at Empress Dowager Xue with a stern face, "My royal brother knew that I have been weak and sickly since childhood, but he didn't listen to my mother's pleas and cruelly sent me to Pingchuan. If it weren't for my mother arranging for Qi Mo to follow me, I'm afraid I would have turned into a pile of bones long ago!"

"If it weren't for him, my mother wouldn't have died. And as the queen mother, you didn't care about what he did at all, allowing him to treat us so cruelly. So, you are the culprit!" There was obvious hatred in Xiao Ling'an's eyes.

Xiao Chi said in a deep voice, "I had fourteen uncles, but only six survived. Aside from these three, the other three are either paralyzed or lame, and one is being held hostage in the State of Wei. All of this was caused by my father himself, and all the other uncles died because of him. He is the one who should be punished by heaven and struck by lightning!"

When Empress Dowager Xue heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She staggered and almost fell, but Empress Qin supported her in time.

Empress Dowager Xue suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, followed by a fishy and sweet taste in her mouth. With a "puff", a stream of blood spurted out of her mouth.

Her eyes were red, veins on her forehead bulged, her mouth moved, and she felt weak all over. Finally, her eyes went black and she fell into Queen Qin's arms.

Queen Qin was terrified. She called out to Queen Mother Xue a few times, but when she saw no response, she looked at Xiao Chi and said, "Prince Heng, you shouldn't have told her this!"

Xiao Chi said calmly, "She is his mother, so she naturally has the right to know this. Also, if a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. Now that the emperor is gone, it is natural for her to bear the consequences!"

"Prince Heng!" Queen Qin was furious.

"Qi Tian!" Xiao Chi shouted.

Qi Tian walked up to Xiao Chi and bowed, saying, "I'm here."

"Go and see if she is dead." Xiao Chi's voice was flat and sounded very cold.

"Yes!" Qi Tian nodded and immediately went to take Empress Dowager Xue's pulse.

After taking Xiao Chi's pulse, Qi Tian stood up and walked to him, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother just fainted from anger."

Xiao Chi said solemnly, "Come here! Send the Queen Mother back to her chambers. No one is allowed to let her out without my permission!"

No matter what, Empress Dowager Xue is his grandmother. Her crime does not deserve the death penalty, so he should just lock her up in her bedroom and let her repent.

Immediately, the palace maids carried Queen Mother Xue away.

Xiao Chi shifted his gaze to the concubines. "You are all innocent. You can leave the palace if you want, or you can stay in the palace if you want. I will not kill you, nor will I imprison you. It's your choice."

After saying this, Xiao Chi looked at Queen Qin again, his eyes filled with a murderous aura. "You allowed the Crown Prince to kill innocent people and rape women. You knew it all, but you did nothing. You allowed him to do it again and again. You will reflect on your mistakes in the cold palace in the future! Come, take her away."

"What did you say?" Queen Qin widened her eyes and looked at Xiao Chi in disbelief.

Xiao Chi didn't want to waste words with her and shouted, "Take her away!"

Queen Qin was furious. She pointed at Xiao Chi and cursed, "You bastard who disobeyed your father, you will definitely not die a good death. You will definitely be punished, you bastard..."

Snapped!

This slap was not given by Xiao Chi, nor by the soldiers, but by Song Yao!

That’s right, Song Yao slapped Queen Qin.

Queen Qin's eyes widened, bloodshot in them. She was furious and cursed, "You bitch, why didn't you die on the road to exile? Ah? You bitch who aided and abetted the tyrant, you deserve to be hacked into pieces!"

Snapped!

Song Yao didn't say anything, but slapped him in the face.

Queen Qin's pupils shrank and she fainted.

Song Yao snorted, "Old witch, keep cursing! I'll beat you to death!"

Then, two soldiers and three eunuchs came.

They dragged Queen Qin away.

Song Yao looked at Xiao Chi, a little unhappy. "She just scolded you like that, why didn't you do it? Anyone who speaks rudely to you is your enemy, don't you understand?"

Xiao Chi frowned slightly, "I don't hit women."

"..."

Song Yao rolled her eyes. "What if a woman put a knife to your neck? Would you not fight back?"

"..."

While Xiao Chi was stunned, Song Yao looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Go search the palace first. If you encounter anyone who opposes you, kill them immediately!"

After the soldiers left, Yuchi Lan said, "Your Highness, it's better to take the throne today than to wait for a day. How about ascending the throne tomorrow?"

Xiao Qiwu said: "Yes, the country cannot be without a king for a day!"

Xiao Chi's eyes moved to Song Yao, and his eyes couldn't help but soften, "Ayao, what do you think?"

Song Yao folded her hands and looked at Xiao Chi, "My master is right. It is better to take the throne today than to wait for a day. I can ascend the throne tomorrow."

"Then I'll do as you say." Xiao Chi's thin lips curled up into a smile, and then he looked at Xiao Qiwu, Song Zizhou and the others, his face instantly becoming serious. "You've done so much for me and for A Yao. Tomorrow when I ascend the throne, I will appoint you as officials! I also promise you here that as long as I am in power, I will never do anything to let down the people of the world, nor will I do anything to let down A Yao. You can rest assured."

Yuchi Lan glanced at Song Yao beside him, then looked at Xiao Chi, "I don't have any other requirements, just be nice to A Yao."

Xiao Chi nodded heavily, looking at Song Yao with a resolute gaze, "I will definitely not let her down."
