Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o

"At first I found it strange that you were here. But when Haijin exposed the King of Li and everyone was surprised, your eyes betrayed you. So I realized that it was the two of you who joined forces to seize my throne, is that right?"

Upon hearing the words "plotting to seize power," the Crown Prince of Qi's expression immediately changed.

"Bah! What plotting? If my father hadn't shown mercy back then, do you think the throne would have been yours? It's a pity that my father, who was loyal and righteous for most of his life, ended up alone and widowed. If it weren't for that treacherous late emperor trying to drive my father insane with my mother's death, I wouldn't be here today!"

With red eyes, the Crown Prince of Qi unleashed a torrent of curses.

The emperor looked at him with a hint of pity, but that was not what the Prince of Qi wanted. Instead, his gaze became even more enraged, and he spoke.

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; there's no need for further discussion. Just one point: what I did has nothing to do with my father. If you still remember his achievements in the Northern Frontier, then don't implicate the innocent! Otherwise, I will haunt you even as a ghost!"

He scanned everyone in the hall, his gaze filled with resentment. Only when he saw Lady Qin, the wife of the Marquis, did he feel somewhat guilty, after all, the Marquis of Haibo's mansion was a household that truly cared for him and his father.

Qin's eyes were filled with tears. She had never imagined that the Prince of Qi would take such a risky path.

Whenever she sees the Crown Prince, she thinks of Princess Qi, her cousin.

A virtuous, gentle, and chaste woman, she was a role model in her family even before she was married. A woman like her would have lived a very good life no matter which family she married into. But fate was jealous of her beauty and took her away too early. Otherwise, if she were still alive, she and the Prince of Qi would surely have been an enviable couple, like immortals.

And the crown prince wouldn't have gone astray!

The emperor looked at him, and his feelings were the same as those of Lady Qin, the wife of the Marquis. This was one of the few cousins ​​he had ever treated with care, otherwise he wouldn't have disguised himself as him. But unfortunately, there was such a barrier between the two of them, which could not be eliminated.

So he glanced at it and then said directly.

"I will not kill you, but I want you to see what price Uncle Qi paid for the Great Longdu back then. Therefore, I have decreed that you be stripped of your title as heir apparent, demoted to a commoner, and exiled to the northern frontier to serve in the army. I want you to start as a soldier and witness firsthand how hard-won this peaceful and prosperous era is! Should you, for your own selfish desires, listen to the instigation of King Li and disrupt the court?"

The Prince of Qi stared straight at the emperor with his sharp eyes. He was not afraid of death, so naturally he was not afraid of being exiled or sent to the army.

However, what he said next made the Prince of Qi regret his words for a moment. He hated the late emperor, and with the instigation of the Prince of Li, he also began to hate the current emperor.

But now every word he says makes the crown prince doubt whether what he is doing is right or wrong.

While he bowed his head in silence, King Le on the other side was still at his last gasp.

"Your Majesty's silver tongue is indeed formidable. With just a few words, you can turn black into white, belittling everyone else as if they were mere mud on the roadside, while you alone remain high and mighty as if it were your right. Why? In what way am I inferior to you? Why am I relegated to guarding that wretched land of Hengzhou, unable to sit on this supreme throne?!"

Clearly, he was even more dissatisfied with the matter, so his roar was an expression of his thoughts and feelings over the years. However, compared to the Prince of Qi's rebellion for his parents, his thoughts seemed much narrower.

He Lingyi had remained silent until now, but she stepped forward.

Looking at the ferocious-looking King Li, he spoke frankly.

"How dare a mere ant challenge the heavens? Let me ask you this: you don't even dare to show your true face, what else do you have to say?"

"You are mocking me."

"Yes, you always feel that you are underappreciated and wronged, but do you ever think about what remarkable achievements Hengzhou has made under your jurisdiction over the years? If you truly care about the people, then do something practical for the local people, even if it's just for the sake of your reputation as a wise king. But you just let things go and the people of Hengzhou have no chance to rise up. Instead, they have paid a heavy price because of your inflated ambition. Even if you were to sit on this supreme position, what good would it do? Could you sit firmly? Could you sit for long? Could you hold onto it?"

He Lingyi's series of counter-questions struck at the heart of the King of Li's weakness.

Over the years, he had painstakingly planned to one day return to the capital and obtain what he deserved. However, he forgot that by scheming too deeply, he had lost sight of his original intention to advocate for the people.

The throne will always remain there, neither coming nor going.

However, the person who sits on the throne is constantly changing. He wants to become emperor, but he is far from being a wise ruler.

So when He Lingyi unexpectedly exposed his true thoughts, he became somewhat embarrassed and angry!

"Hmph, how dare a mere woman speak such things to me? Do you think you're so great just because you're the granddaughter of a great Confucian scholar?"

"I have never considered myself the granddaughter of a great Confucian scholar, unlike you, who, despite receiving imperial favor, still harbors resentment. Think of the fate of your brothers. You have lived a peaceful life for decades, yet you are not satisfied. Do you have to overturn the peace of others before you will be satisfied?"

He Lingyi's cursing was also straightforward, which made everyone's blood boil.

Qiao Er and Hai Yu both looked at her with admiration. As for the other noble families and powerful clans, they silently thought to themselves, "No wonder His Majesty canceled the autumn election. With such an empress, how could he possibly be interested in anyone else?"

The emperor, too, said something with a peaceful and satisfied smile.

"What the Empress said is all from my heart. Prince Li, you have only yourself to blame. Today I will use your life to atone for all those who died innocently because of your ambition!"

After saying that, he glanced at Qiao Er.

He stepped forward and swiftly slashed at King Li, quickly severing the tendons in King Li's hands and feet, and even severing the major tendons in his shoulders, causing King Li to scream in pain.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but your disguise skills are truly amazing, and you are also extremely skilled in collarbone manipulation. So, if I sever all your meridians, you won't be able to escape!"

"Qiao Ruoyu! You'll die a horrible death!"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Qiao and Madam Qiao were also displeased, and the four Qiao family children all glared fiercely at Prince Li. If the emperor hadn't been present, the Qiao family members would probably have all gone up and stabbed him.

Qiao Er, on the contrary, didn't care and sneered.

"Don't worry, Your Highness is completely dead, stinking to death, utterly dead, while I am still alive and well. Perhaps you will be reincarnated two or three times, and then you will probably be able to wait until I die."

As soon as these words were spoken, some of the ladies couldn't help but laugh.

But because of the inappropriate occasion, I had to keep it to myself.
