Xiao Yan's words were like thunder, and Prince Hatred suddenly raised his head: "Have you known about the affair between Prince Cheng and Empress Lu?"
"yes."
"How can it be……"
Hating the prince is like being killed by thunder.
How could he have known this all along?
The Lu family obviously kept this matter secret. If Xiao Yan had known about it for a long time, what did he do during this period? !
"Why is it impossible? Lu Zhao and Lu Qin were both defeated by me, and I personally sent King Cheng to the guillotine. Why do you think I don't know something that even you can find out?"
Xiao Yan's gentle words made Prince Dehen's face turn pale.
"I have known about the affair between Prince Cheng and Empress Lu for a long time, but I never mentioned it. Not only because I was afraid that His Majesty would be angry if I spoke about it, but also because I wanted to make sure that the Lu family would no longer be able to stand up before using this matter against them. A fatal blow.”
"Originally, if you and Cui Lin hadn't intervened, someone would have exposed this matter to the Holy Spirit in half a month at the latest. With the backup plan I had prepared in advance, by then, the Lu family would not only be able to die without a burial place, but also force the Lu family to die. Your Majesty's attack on them will also give you the opportunity to win the hearts of the people and surpass all the princes to become the crown prince."
"But you are so smart and greedy that you ruined all my plans!"
"Crown Prince?"
Prince Hatred looked at Xiao Yan with shock on his face. Although he was surprised by his cruelty to the Lu family, he was also puzzled by his so-called backhand.
My father was in his prime, and even though he had headaches from time to time, Ping Anmai from the Imperial Medical Office said that there was nothing serious about his body or bones. With his father’s strong desire to control the imperial power, it was impossible for him to delegate power, and he would not Maybe he will establish a crown prince.
Prince Hate thought so and asked.
Xiao Yan sneered: "Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for His Majesty to give up power, but what if his reputation is damaged, the court is in chaos, and the Xie family's imperial power is unstable? As long as he sits on the throne, the world will be in chaos and no one will surrender?"
Prince Hatred suddenly widened his eyes.
Xiao Yan looked at him: "Don't you think that the Lu family can become the head of the family just because of the so-called merit of serving the dragon? Just because of their contribution to assisting His Majesty in ascending the throne, Your Majesty has repeatedly given in to them."
"Even if you know that the Lu family is encroaching on the court and Lu Chongyuan has repeatedly provoked the imperial power to overwhelm Your Majesty, Your Majesty still doesn't dare to fall out with them directly even though you have the evidence in hand?"
"You mean..."
"Your Majesty's accession to the throne was not honorable."
Prince Hatred's pupils tightened, and he heard Xiao Yan slowly say: "You must have heard about Prince Ru, right?"
"When the late emperor was in power, His Majesty was not very prominent among the princes. Whether it was the ruthless prince who was born as the crown prince because Taizu liked to personally teach him, or the prince Cheng whose biological mother was a noble and prosperous and intelligent mother, or the one who looks like today. The inconspicuous Prince Ji and the seemingly violent and impulsive Prince Huan are both more capable of competing for the throne than Your Majesty."
"But His Majesty won the throne because the Lu family used some disgraceful means to help His Majesty seize the imperial power."
"Those methods made His Majesty repeatedly tolerate the Lu family, making him dare not touch them easily even if he hated the family for encroaching on the imperial power. It also made His Majesty's throne unstable."
"Once what happened back then was exposed and His Majesty's reputation was ruined, in order to protect the Xie family and maintain the imperial power, he could only use his own body to apologize and find someone among the princes to temporarily take over the power of the emperor, so as to calm the public anger."
"And you are this person."
Xiao Yan looked at Prince Hatred, whose expression changed drastically, with a bit of anger.
"I have already arranged the people. I am just waiting for you to take the position after the incident, so that you can win the hearts of the people before His Majesty. Then I will expose the Queen's affairs. The fourth prince's bloodline is doubtful. The other princes are not as prestigious as you, and Your Majesty has no chance. I can only choose to give you the crown prince position."
"As long as you can force His Majesty to retreat behind the scenes, let you gain real power, and exercise the power of the Emperor in the name of the Crown Prince, this Wei Dynasty will be your world, but who would have thought!"
Xiao Yan's eyes were full of anger when he looked at Prince Xin:
"Even if it was Cui Lin alone who caused the Queen's trouble this time, I can still find a way to save it. As long as other arrangements remain unchanged, you can still take the position, but it's you!"
"You personally exposed the scandal in the royal family, offended His Majesty in front of all the courtiers, and even got such a ridiculing title. Now everyone knows that His Majesty is not happy with you and knows that you are unfilial and disloyal. What else do you want me to do? I push you up, how can I get you to sit in that position?!"
Prince Hate never thought that he was so close to the throne, and he never thought that he only needed to hold back for a few days to become the crown prince.
The immense wealth he had obviously acquired was completely ruined by his own cleverness. He finally understood why Xiao Yan, who had always been cold and stern, was so angry and almost killed him.
Xiao Yan looked at his pale face and sighed: "Forget it, what's the use of telling you this now."
"Although I don't have a chance to push you up, the arrangements we made earlier are already on the string. In a few days there will be chaos in the capital. I have been planning for this day for many years. Seeing as I have assisted you in the past, I will support you no matter whether it succeeds or fails. It won’t implicate you.”
"Your Highness, please take care of yourself."
After Xiao Yanyouyou said that, she stood up and wanted to leave, but Prince Hatred suddenly said: "No, I'm still useful!"
Xiao Yan looked back at him.
Prince Hate's face was pale, but his eyes were particularly bright:
"President Xiao assisted me before, not because he wanted to gain imperial power. You said you wanted me to do something for you after I ascend the throne. What you are planning is not just the Lu family, but also my father, right?"
Xiao Yan's face changed slightly, his eyes became sharp, and his vague expression of murderous intent made King Hate even more sure of his suspicions.
"You tried your best to sow discord between your father and the aristocratic family, and you used every possible means to drive them away from the Lu family. Do you have a personal enmity with them, right... That's not right. You also have a personal enmity with your father, so you know about those father and the Lu family. His secrets, he even wanted to destroy Emperor Father and push me to the throne."
"You have great power, and your father has the utmost trust in you. If you just want revenge, you can kill your father directly, or wipe out the entire Lu family."
"But you made every possible effort to stay in the palace as a eunuch, and even tried every means to ruin the reputation of the Lu family and the reputation of my father."
"You want more than just revenge, right? You also want something else..."
Swish——
Seeing the sudden gloom on Xiao Yan's face, he stepped forward in an instant, and at some point, a soft sword appeared in his hand, pointing directly at Prince Hatred's neck.
Prince Hate said anxiously: "I won't tell my father!"
The tip of the sword stopped half an inch in front of his neck. Xiao Yan looked ugly: "Your Highness, I consider myself to be extremely benevolent and righteous to you."
Prince Hatred said quickly: "President Xiao has always been considerate to me. If it weren't for you, I would still be struggling. I will also remember the life-saving grace of the palace a few days ago. I am not telling you this to threaten you." You, I just wanted to say that I can help you.”
