What she said made sense. Even though Wu Yanzhen and Lin Yinnan were unwilling, they dared not say a word.

Everything went smoothly afterwards, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

"Are you exhausted today?"

The man rubbed the woman's legs gently, and the heartache in his eyes almost overflowed.

"Fortunately."

The man in front of her hadn't slept for two days and two nights because of Xiao Shengyu's funeral. What right did she have to complain of being tired in front of him?

"You said you weren't tired, but your legs are a little swollen."

Wu Qingyue's gaze fell on her legs, and she found that her legs were a little thicker than before.

"Just rest for a night, it's not a big problem." She said nonchalantly.

"You."

The man tapped the tip of her nose: "You're really showing off."

"Hehe." Wu Qingyue laughed foolishly.

"By the way, what happened today?"

Meeting the man's worried eyes, Wu Qingyue had no choice but to tell him roughly what happened today.

After hearing this, a cold light flashed in the man's eyes.

"I will seek justice for my wife."

"Need not!"

Wu Qingyue quickly said, "Just go ahead and do your thing. I'll take care of this little thing."

"I am very pleased to hear your words, my lady. But these two have been provoking me time and again. If they are not punished, they may become even worse in the future." The man said, holding her hand.

Wu Qingyue felt a warm feeling in her heart, but she still shook her head. "There are many affairs in the court right now. My brother just left, and the court is in turmoil. It is really not appropriate to cause any more trouble. Let's talk about these things later."

The man thought for a moment and nodded. "You are right. I will do as my lady says. But you must be careful in the future."

"Well, I know."

In the next few days, everything went according to the original arrangement, and Wu Yanzhen and Lin Yinnan also became much more well-behaved.

During this period, Xiao Muli came to see Xiao Shiyi once. The two talked in the study for a long time before Wu Qingyue saw Xiao Muli come out. She did not ask what they talked about.

Time flies and it is the seventh day.

Today is the last day of chanting sutras for Xiao Shengyu.

In the afternoon, the seven-day ceremony finally ended. Next, it was time to bury Xiao Shengyu in the imperial tomb.

The farewell procession was very long, but when they reached the gate of the imperial mausoleum, only Xiao Shengyu's concubines and princes were allowed in, and the rest of the people had to wait outside.

Wu Qingyue followed Xiao Shiyi and walked into the imperial mausoleum. After burying Xiao Shengyu, when they were walking back, many sword-wielding guards suddenly rushed over from all directions!

They were surrounded!

Wu Qingyue looked at the figure slowly emerging from the crowd and couldn't help but sneer in her heart!

Enduring humiliation and pretending to be crazy and stupid for so long, just for this moment?!

Xiao Shiyi stood in front of the crowd, his expression stern and majestic. He said coldly: "Nephew, are you crazy?"

Xiao Muheng's face was full of gloom. Where was the trace of madness on his clear and bright face?

"If I don't pretend to be crazy, how can I catch you all in one fell swoop?"

"So, you are fighting for the throne?"

"Uncle, you are usually so smart, why are you asking such a stupid question now?"

"Haha, Xiao Muheng, you are so bold that you dare to try to fight for the throne at this time!"

Xiao Muheng laughed wildly, "Uncle, don't think you are so noble. This throne should have been mine."

Xiao Shiyi seemed not to hear, but turned his gaze to Zhou Yurou who was standing next to Xiao Muheng——

"Sister-in-law, do you support him doing this?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Yurou immediately replied, "Heng'er and I share the same destiny. I naturally fully support what's happening today!"

"Grandma's legs!"

Xiao Muye was angry and afraid——

"Brother Emperor, now that our father has just passed away, your actions are putting the world in an unjust position. The people are still immersed in grief. If you forcefully seize the throne, it will inevitably cause civil unrest, and foreign enemies will also take advantage of the opportunity to invade. You must think twice!"

After hearing what Xiao Muye said, Xiao Muheng snorted coldly and said, "Seventh brother, you are still so naive. As long as I ascend to the throne, I will find a way to appease the people."

"Really? Are you sure you can seize the throne today?"

Xiao Muheng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart...

"Don't try to scare me! This place is surrounded by my men. All of you will die here today!"

"I want to see how you let us die here."

Seeing Xiao Shiyi so calm, Xiao Muheng felt a little uneasy.

"Heng'er, don't waste time talking to him. He must be stalling for time so that he can wait for the people outside to rescue them!"

When Xiao Muheng heard this, he felt that what she said made sense, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared instantly.

"Uncle, I don't believe what you say! I am in this state now because of you and that bitch Wu Qingyue. If I don't chop off your heads today, I swear I will not be a human being!"

Xiao Muheng's words successfully angered Xiao Shiyi.

"You can just come over here."

"Hmph, give it to me—"

"stop!"

At this time, Xiao Muyu stepped forward and said loudly: "Royal brother, don't be stubborn. Do you think everyone here is yours?"

"What do you mean?"

The uneasiness in Xiao Muheng's heart came back again, and it became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, Xiao Shiyi clapped his hands, and a large number of imperial guards immediately rushed out from all directions, surrounding Xiao Muheng and others more tightly.

It turned out that Xiao Shiyi had been prepared. He had been secretly observing Xiao Muheng. Although he believed that Xiao Muheng was crazy on the surface, he was actually making secret arrangements.

Zhou Yurou was horrified when she saw this, "You actually plotted against us!"

Xiao Muheng's face also turned ugly.

Xiao Shiyi sneered and said, "Those who covet the throne will never have a good end. I consider you a member of the royal family, so if you surrender now, I can spare your life."

Xiao Muheng gritted his teeth, knowing that the situation was hopeless, but still unwilling to give up.

Just as he was hesitating, several of his close associates suddenly turned against him and took control of him and Zhou Yurou.

It turned out that these people had already been instigated by Xiao Shiyi.

Xiao Muheng closed his eyes in despair, and the farce of fighting for the throne came to an end. The stage belonging to him, Xiao Muheng, also officially ended.

What awaits him is only the abyss.

"The Second Prince, Xiao Muheng, attempted to rebel and seize the throne. Now, he is stripped of his status as a prince and imprisoned in death row!"

"Queen Zhou Yurou, who aided and abetted the tyrant and harmed the royal bloodline, is now stripped of her status as empress and banished to the cold palace!"

When Zhou Yurou heard this, she was immediately furious!

"No, no, you can't do this to me! I'm the queen of Xiao State. I'm the most noble woman in the world. What qualifications do you have to touch me?"

Xiao Shiyi looked at her coldly, and his words were even colder: "Do you think you are still worthy of being the queen of the country?"
