"Why am I not worthy? Besides me, who else is worthy of being the mother of this country? Her?"

Zhou Yurou pointed at the woman beside Xiao Shiyi angrily, her eyes full of resentment and hatred.

The man's eyes suddenly became fierce!

"Sister-in-law, please be careful with your words!"

"What? Did I get it right?"

Zhou Yurou seemed to have discovered some incredible secret, and she became very excited!

"You must be planning a rebellion, right? That position is so attractive, it would be strange if you didn't want to rebel!"

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the princes present changed.

They all knew Xiao Shiyi's strength. If he really wanted to usurp the throne, no matter how many of them were combined, they would not be his match!

"If I wanted to rebel, do you think I would have dragged it out until now?" The man's tone was extremely arrogant.

"you,,,"

Zhou Yurou was so angry that she almost vomited blood!

She originally thought that by accusing Xiao Shiyi of "treason", he would become the target of public criticism, but she ignored the man's true strength.

"Why don't you drag her away for me?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Yurou and Xiao Muheng were quickly dragged away. Although she was dragged away, the words she spoke were like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of some people!

However, there are always some people who like to be the first to stand out.

"Uncle, is what Mother said true? Are you really interested in the throne?"

After hearing these words, Xiao Muyu couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Xiao Muye.

When Xiao Shiyi heard this, there was no emotion on his face, and no one could guess what he meant.

"Seventh nephew, do you doubt this king?"

When Xiao Muye was questioned by him, he couldn't help but feel scared -

"I, I'm just asking."

Okay, he admitted that he was scared.

At this time, Xiao Muli said, "The emperor's uncle is a man who knows his limits. He would not do such a treasonous thing."

Wu Qingyue couldn't help but frown when she heard this...

"You really know how to flatter me." Xiao Shiyi said in an ambiguous tone.

"The emperor's uncle praised me."

Xiao Shiyi said nothing more and led everyone out of the imperial mausoleum.

Returning to the side hall, Wu Qingyue couldn't help but ask, "Shi Yi, how did you know Xiao Muheng would rebel today?"

The man nestled on the soft couch and reached out to hold the woman in his arms.

Well, it’s still most comfortable to hug my wife.

"I'm asking you a question!"

Waiting for no answer, the woman protested quietly.

"My wife, please be my husband, and I will tell you."

"Not serious."

Wu Qingyue pinched him and said, "Then let me guess."

The man became interested when he heard it, "Madam, please tell me."

"The late emperor passed away. Xiao Muheng wouldn't be stupid enough to take action at Qingshan Temple, so the only place he could choose was the imperial mausoleum."

"Well, Yue'er is really smart."

The man praised generously.

"So, what are you going to do next? Do you have a suitable candidate for the throne?"

"Have."

"Have?"

Wu Qingyue didn't expect him to answer so quickly!

"who is it?"

"Xiao Muli."

"Ali?"

Wu Qingyue was stunned.

"Ah."

"Why him?"

Ali's mother's family is from the Northern Di Kingdom. Logically speaking, he would not be the first candidate for the throne.

"Yue'er, do you still remember that you asked him for the Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

"I remember it since I got hot."

If it weren’t for the Tianshan Snow Lotus given by Ali, Cheng Lin’s face would not have healed at all.

"What's the connection between these two things?"

"The reason why Xiao Muli gave me such a precious Tianshan Snow Lotus was for the throne."

"So, he kept you here just to talk about this?"

"Correct."

"But his mother's family is from Beidi, and the ministers in the court will not agree." Wu Qingyue said worriedly.

Xiao Shiyi smiled softly, "Don't worry, my lady. Although his mother's tribe is Northern Di, he grew up in his own country. You should know his character and literary talent best."

Wu Qingyue nodded slightly after hearing this, "He is indeed much better than the other princes, and is more suitable to be the emperor."

When a man's wife praises another man in front of him, he feels jealous and his heart is bubbling.

"My wife, if you praise other men like this, I will be jealous."

Uh......

"Stop joking, I'm talking to you seriously."

"I'm serious about this."

Wu Qingyue: “…”

Xiao Shiyi played with her hair and continued, "Another point is that he has secretly gained the support of many important officials."

Wu Qingyue's eyes lit up, "Really? It seems he had a plan in advance."

"Well, although Xiao Muheng no longer poses a threat, we still need to be careful when dealing with other princes." Xiao Shiyi's eyes became deep.

"Ali is a thoughtful person, so I'm sure nothing will go wrong. But my husband has to help him."

"The road has been paved for him. Whether he can walk straight depends on himself."

"Well, what you said is absolutely right."

Although Xiao Shiyi said this, he still had some concerns in his heart; two days later, the chaos in the court broke out.

Some ministers united to impeach Xiao Shiyi, claiming that he had rebellious intentions and asked him to hand over his power.

There was an uproar in the court.

Xiao Shiyi stood at the top of the hall, his expression calm and composed. "Why do you say that, ministers? This king is devoted to the country. How could he have ever done anything to rebel?"

The ministers were aggressive, "The prince has a large army and his prestige is too high. The new emperor has not been chosen yet, so we have to be on guard."

"Oh, is it so?"

The man only said three simple words, but the minister who had just impeached him was so frightened that his face changed.

"Yes, it is."

Woohoo, the Ninth Prince has such a strong aura!

He almost couldn't stand it anymore, Aaahhhhh!!!

"You are so brave!"

Xiao Shiyi said this coldly, but it scared the minister so much that he almost knelt down!

However, thinking that the lives of his family members were still in the hands of the Third Prince, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Please allow the new emperor to ascend the throne to appease the people."

"Okay."

Okay, okay?

The minister was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would agree so easily?

"If that's the case, then, that's great. Does the prince have a suitable candidate in mind?"

"Naturally there is."

"Which prince is it?"

Xiao Shiyi's gaze fell on Xiao Muli, "That person is the eldest prince of the Xiao Kingdom - Xiao Muli."

The eldest prince?

The minister was dumbfounded again.

"Why is it him? I don't accept it!"

The one who spoke this time was the third prince Xiao Muyu.

"Yes, how could it be him? His mother was from the Northern Di Kingdom when she was alive. He has no right to inherit the throne!"
