In his previous life, he was disfigured and his eyes were gouged out, and he was reborn to kill ever

After the Third Prince Xiao Muze took his seat, the King of Beidi did not waste any time. He raised his hand and said in a majestic voice:

"My dear ministers, you should already know that my so-called illness this time was caused by the Crown Prince ordering someone to poison me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the princelings standing below trembled with fear.

The King of Beidi glanced at the ministers and continued:

“The prince wants to kill the emperor and his father, which is an unforgivable crime.

I will depose him from the position of Crown Prince today."

After saying this, he raised his hand, and the eunuch standing beside him walked forward with the imperial edict, flicked his whisk, and began to read it out.

"By Heaven,

Carrier,

The emperor summoned,

Crown Prince Xiao Kun was not a good person, so he was deposed from his position as crown prince and demoted to a commoner.

And sentenced to death!"

After the imperial edict was read, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty is wise. Long live the king. Long live the king."

When the second prince Xiao Cheng saw his father coming up, he had the imperial edict deposing the crown prince read out.

His heart tightened involuntarily.

It seems that it won't be long before my father will make Xiao Muzhe the crown prince.

Father, you are really anxious.

It seems that I need to speed up my actions.

Just as Xiao Cheng's thoughts were wandering, the King of Beidi raised his hand again.

The eunuch then brought another imperial edict and looked at Xiao Muze.

"The Third Prince has received the order."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muze stood up and knelt on the ground.

"The minister accepts the order."

Civil and military officials also knelt on the ground.

The second prince Xiao Cheng knelt on the ground, his heart sank.

Father, are you not going to appoint Xiao Muzhe as the Crown Prince today?

At this time, the eunuch's shrill voice sounded,

"By Heaven,

Carrier,

The emperor summoned,

The third prince, Xiao Muze, has good character, is intelligent, wise, and has outstanding abilities, so he is named the crown prince."

"My sons and ministers accept the order."

Xiao Muzhe kowtowed again and stretched out his hand to respectfully take the imperial edict.

At this time, the second prince Xiao Cheng was kneeling on the ground, feeling very unwell.

Like all the civil and military officials in the court, he had long expected that his father would eventually enthrone Xiao Muzhe as the crown prince.

However, he didn't expect it to come so soon.

It was so quick that before he was fully prepared, he was directly appointed as the crown prince.

no…

We can’t let Xiao Muzhe become the crown prince like this.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, then knelt straight and clasped his fists, looking at his father.

"Father, I am older than my third brother and more capable than him.

I am more qualified to be the Crown Prince of Beidi than he is."

Although it was presumptuous of him to say so, he was certain that more than half of the civil and military officials in the court would stand up to support his statement.

The fact that he can get the support of so many civil and military ministers shows his strength.

He could directly prove to his father that Xiao Muzhe was not as good as him.

Those who have strength will get high positions, this is something that does not need to be debated.

My father should also understand that it is impossible to go against the wishes of the majority of ministers and force Xiao Muzhe to the position of crown prince.

In short, he predicted that his father would be forced to withdraw his order in the end.

The King of Beidi snorted coldly when he saw his second son's arrogant words.

"Humph!

Second brother, you said that you are more capable than third brother, but why can’t I find out where you are stronger than?

When the former crown prince poisoned me and put me under house arrest, were you able to detoxify me and save me?

Or when facing the former crown prince, do you dare to stand up and confront the crown prince head-on?

Do not…

Not only can you not save me, you can't even see me.

When facing the Crown Prince, you even shrank your neck, looking like you were afraid of death. I felt ashamed for you when I saw you. "

After the King of Beidi said this, he did not give Xiao Cheng any face at all.

After hearing this, Xiao Cheng blushed with shame.

“I didn’t know that the former crown prince had harmed my father.

Besides, it wasn’t that I didn’t dare to confront the former Crown Prince before, I just wanted to find the right opportunity.”

"Hehe, looking for an opportunity?

By the time you find the right opportunity, I will probably be dead."

The King of Beidi said this with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

Xiao Cheng clenched his fists and replied with all his strength:

“But my third brother is very close to Prince Jing of Daliang.

If we give him the crown prince position, then the third brother might sell our Beidi directly to Daliang.

Father, please understand. For the future of our Beidi, you must think twice!"

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the civil and military officials behind him.

He originally thought that after he spoke, those ministers whose families were under his control would take the initiative to support him.

But unexpectedly, no minister stood up to speak for him.

They knelt on the ground, not saying a word, as if they were dead.

He was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head.

He scanned them one by one with sharp eyes.

But those ministers simply ignored him.

He was angry and puzzled.

At this time, the King of Beidi said coldly:

“Don’t look at it, no one will speak for you.

You still think you are so great.

Do you think you are capable just because you use some shady means?

How ridiculous. "

As he spoke, the King of Beidi's face turned colder.

"Bring the people up."

Soon, Cuihe and Cuimei were brought up.

"Your Majesty, long live the king."

The two of them knelt on the ground and saluted.

Seeing that the two of them were still alive, Xiao Cheng was so shocked that he couldn't help but blurt out,

"How come you are still alive?"

Upon hearing this, Cuihe and Cuimei just knelt on the ground and did not respond.

Xiao Muze spoke at this time.

"Second brother, it was you who ordered Cuihe and Cuimei to frame Princess Liuli and me, right?

You were even so cruel as to threaten them with the lives of their families in order to frame Princess Liuli and me.

You are so cruel, how can you say you are better than me?"

When Xiao Cheng saw that the two palace maids who were supposed to have been poisoned to death were alive again, it was clear to him.

It seems that his so-called strategies had long been seen through by Xiao Muzhe.

There are also those civil and military ministers who are unwilling to speak for him. Perhaps Xiao Muzhe has a bigger handle in his hands.

It seems that I have underestimated this third younger brother.

Realizing this, the second prince Xiao Cheng's eyes quickly rolled around, and then he immediately shrank his neck and began to show weakness.

"Father, I know I was wrong.

I was just confused for a moment.

He fell in love with Princess Liuli at first sight and wanted to snatch her away, so he wanted to use Cuihe and Cuimei to sow discord between the third brother and Princess Liuli.

Please forgive me this time, I will never do it again."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Muze again.

"Third brother, please consider that we grew up together.

Besides, I didn’t commit any serious mistakes in the end, so please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"

He spoke sincerely, without the previous aggression.

And he is still trying to evade the main point and make excuses.

When Xiao Muze saw him like this, his expression did not waver at all.

"What you did does not deserve to be forgiven.

You treat human life as worthless, you are not worthy of being a human being at all."
