The emperor looked at Xiao Ji in disbelief, "You want to kill your father?"
Xiao Ji said casually: "As long as you write the imperial edict, I will let you enjoy your old age in peace."
The emperor sneered: "You rebellious beast, I can't write an edict. Without an edict, your name is not justified. You will bear the name of patricide and be reviled by the world for the rest of your life."
Xiao Ji's eyes turned cold when he heard this. He pulled out the sword from Liuyun's waist and pointed it directly at the emperor's neck. There was bloodthirsty madness in his eyes, "So what? Do you think I care?"
At first, the emperor thought that Xiao Ji was just saying harsh words, until the cold blade of the sword touched his neck, and the killing intent in Xiao Ji's eyes made him know that Xiao Ji really wanted to kill his father.
The son he had always ignored was not only ambitious, but also cold-blooded.
How dare you kill your father!
It is undeniable that Xiao Ji is very suitable to be an emperor.
As an emperor, it is difficult to achieve great things without ambition.
If Che'er was as ambitious as Xiao Ji, his position as prince would not have been empty for so long.
It's a pity that Che'er is indifferent to the throne!
Not to mention ambition.
Xiao Ji looked at the emperor condescendingly. Ever since he was a child, he had never regarded him as his son, let alone doted on him.
"I've never understood why you hate me so much, even though I'm your son? How am I inferior to them?"
Hearing this, a trace of hatred flashed in the emperor's eyes: "I am kind by not strangling you to death. Why do I hate you? Go and ask your mother-in-law, what good things has she done?"
Xiao Ji suddenly understood that the emperor's dislike of him had something to do with his mother and concubine.
And the mother-in-law didn't like him either.
He had to wonder if he had hugged me wrongly?
In fact, he is not their child.
Grandma once said that there is no father or mother who does not love their children.
He has spent more than twenty years proving that it does.
Xiao Ji was not in a hurry to kill the emperor, but began to deal with the aftermath.
There will be risks until the situation is completely stabilized.
After finishing the matters at hand, Xiao Ji slept for an hour and then came to Yuxiu Palace.
Xiao Ji has not seen Concubine Yu since the emperor's birthday party.
The palace went through a big reshuffle last night. The maids and eunuchs were all worried, fearing that they would die if they were not careful.
Seeing Xiao Ji, everyone knelt down in a hurry, not knowing whether to address him as Prince Yu or something else.
Xiao Ji ignored them and walked all the way into Yuxiu Palace. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar palace, he felt unusually calm.
The palace maid and eunuch knelt on the ground, and the palace maid in charge came out and saluted Xiao Jifu, "King Yu, my concubine hasn't gotten up yet."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ji walked straight in and ignored the palace maid's words.
Seeing Xiao Ji ignoring her, the palace maid hurriedly followed him.
Xiao Ji walked into the palace and saw Concubine Yu sitting on the bed, indeed she hadn't gotten up yet.
When he got closer, he found that Concubine Concubine's face was very poor and she looked sick.
"Mother and concubine, please come and be fine."
Concubine Concubine raised her eyes and looked at her son whom she had not seen for a long time. She never thought that this son who would not fight or snatch would not only seize power but also force the palace.
"What's the matter with you coming?"
Xiao Ji looked at Concubine Yu's expressionless face, as if looking at a stranger.
Look, this is his mother-in-law. No matter what he does, she looks indifferent.
"I came here just to ask, am I your and the emperor's son?"
Concubine Yu was startled when she heard this, as if she didn't expect him to ask such a question.
"I wish you weren't."
Xiao Ji's face was still calm after hearing this, as if the answer was not very important to him.
"Then the concubine should know why the emperor doesn't like me?"
Concubine Concubine looked at her son who looked calm, no, he was calm, so calm that he was terrifying.
"Is this important to you?"
Xiao Ji chuckled: "It doesn't matter whether it's important or not, he's going to die anyway."
Concubine Yu was stunned when she heard this, "You want to kill your father?"
Xiao Ji didn't speak, but looked at Concubine Yu coldly.
Concubine Yu could feel that Xiao Ji's words were not a joke.
"He suspects that you are not his son."
Xiao Ji still didn't show any surprise, as if he could accept the answer calmly.
"It was the mother-in-law who told him this to make him feel that I was not his son and to make him hate me so that he could achieve the pleasure of revenge in the mother-in-law's heart, right?"
Concubine Yu found that the son in front of her seemed different from before. He would never talk to her like this before.
When Xiao Ji saw that Concubine Yu was silent, he took it as her acquiescence. This was the most reasonable explanation.
"I should thank my mother and concubine for making the two closest people in the world hate me so much. I am really lucky to be alive until now."
"However, from now on, you are not the people closest to me. The people I am closest to are my wife and children."
Concubine Yu still didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
He didn't care about Xiao Ji's words.
Xiao Ji didn't care, turned around and left. When he reached the door, he stopped again.
"Mother, have you been regretting that you let go too early that night and failed to drown me?"
When Concubine Yu heard this, she was stunned on the spot. She thought no one knew about what happened that night, but it turned out that he knew everything.
After Xiao Ji said this, he walked out without looking back.
The next day, Xiao Ji was still busy.
Until evening, Xu Yan hurriedly entered the palace.
The princess has been missing for too long. If she doesn't tell the prince, the consequences will be disastrous.
There are too many things to deal with, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Xiao Ji almost never stopped. From the night before to now, he only slept for an hour.
This is why some people in the Fu family chose to leave on this day.
Xiao Ji had a rare moment to breathe and took two sips of tea.
When Xu Yan came in, Xiao Ji frowned, "What's wrong?"
Xu Yan bowed in and knelt on the ground with a thump, "Your Majesty, something happened."
Xiao Ji suddenly had a bad feeling and asked coldly: "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, the princess is missing." Xu Yan did not dare to look up at the prince after finishing speaking.
Xiao Ji stood up suddenly when he heard this, "What did you say?"
"The princess is missing." Xu Yan repeated.
"boom!"
There was a sound of the tea cup breaking, and hot tea flowed out from between the fingers along with blood.
Xiao Ji said sharply: "Say it again!"
Xu Yan roughly told the story of the princess's disappearance.
"From yesterday morning until now, my subordinates have searched all over the capital, but there is no sign of the princess."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked out by Xiao Ji, his body hit the wall hard, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Wow..." He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his internal organs ached.
Xu Yan has been with Xiao Ji for many years and is very efficient and loyal.
This was the first time Xiao Ji made a move against him.
Xu Yan knew that the prince was really angry this time.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, endured the pain and stood up from the ground.
Before he could stand still, he was kicked to the ground by Xiao Ji.
"She disappeared yesterday morning, and you just told me now? Xu Yan, do you still have me in your eyes?"
Good night, babies!
