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

Xiao Muzhe bluntly scolded the second prince Xiao Cheng.

After the curse, the whole hall fell silent.

No one stood up to defend the second prince.

Xiao Cheng finally fully realized his isolated and helpless situation.

Seeing his father looking at him with extremely cold eyes, his heart also turned cold.

He also realized that everything he had done was probably known to his father.

My father must have made up his mind to make my third brother the crown prince.

Then he would definitely find out his mistakes and punish him severely in order to clear the obstacles on his way to becoming emperor.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng slowly stood up, no longer afraid or nervous.

The King of Beidi saw that Xiao Cheng had made a mistake and dared to stand up on his own, and he scolded him coldly.

"How dare you! Who allowed you to stand up?"

Xiao Cheng smiled ironically when he heard this.

"Father, I don't know where your heart is.

Now you only want your third brother to be the crown prince.

Have you ever considered your son in the slightest?

Even if I kneel down on the ground humbly and kowtow to beg for mercy and admit my mistakes, will you let me go?

Even if I lie on the ground like a dog, will my father have pity on me?

You will only punish me severely to establish authority for your third brother, right?"

When the King of Beidi saw his second son like this for the first time, he was stunned at first, and then he became furious.

"You rebellious son, you clearly did something wrong, but you don't admit your mistake and you dare to blame others?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha…

Father, why are you so angry?

What’s the big deal about making mistakes? Is there anyone here who has never made a mistake?

It’s just that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Father, do you dare to say that you have never done anything wrong since you were a child?

It's because you are now a high and mighty king, and no one dares to blame you.

Just like you favored the former crown prince Xiao Kun before, and now you are partial to the third prince.

But the prince you love wants to kill you.

And the third brother Xiao Muzhe is just a hypocrite who is good at talking.

Apart from being righteous and moral, what else did he do all day?

But my father wants to give him the position of crown prince?

Aren't you afraid that he will become the second Xiao Kun?"

Xiao Cheng knew that there was no way he could turn things around, so he said some divisive words regardless of the consequences.

He didn't want a good outcome, and he didn't want Xiao Muzhe to have an easy time.

After he said this, Xiao Muzhe finally couldn't help it.

He stood up, grabbed Xiao Cheng's collar, and punched him hard in the face without saying a word.

"Your intentions in saying these things are too obvious. Don't think that father can be provoked by your few words.

No matter how incompetent I, Xiao Muzhe, am still better than you.

Besides, I am not Xiao Kun, so it is impossible for me to kill my father and my king.

Don't even think about changing the subject.

My father and the ministers will judge how I perform.

But you have to bear the responsibility for your own sins.

Tell me, how many innocent people have died at your hands for the sake of power?"

Xiao Muzhe's tone was cold and his eyes were sharp, and his aura made Xiao Cheng feel a little breathless.

But he still forced himself to stare at Xiao Muze.

"Anyway, I am now your defeated opponent.

Father favors you, so whatever you say is what happens."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Xiao Muzhe's hand, pushed him away, and then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He looks like he doesn't care about anything.

At this time, the King of Beidi spoke again.

"The second prince Xiao Cheng was demoted to a commoner.

Drag him out and give him thirty lashes of the cane. "

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Cheng laughed even more.

"Ha ha ha ha…

Father, please just favor Xiao Muzhe.

Be careful that he doesn't become the second deposed crown prince."

"Drag it out."

The King of Beidi roared, and two guards came in and dragged the man out...

"Ha ha ha ha…

Just the second Xiao Kun...

Father...

Open your eyes and watch, don’t wait until then…”

The King of Beidi listened to his words, his face darkened, and he roared,

"Shut his mouth for me."

The guard immediately did as he was told, and in an instant the entire hall fell silent.

The ministers knelt on the ground and dared not utter a word.

What's more, the minister who was usually close to the Second Prince Xiao Cheng was kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Fortunately, the King of Beidi did not extend his anger to others.

As for the remaining court officials, those with bigger problems and deeper roots, he can slowly deal with them.

Those problems that are not very serious can be left for the time being.

When the time comes, wait for Xiao Muzhe to ascend the throne and let him handle it himself to establish his authority.

The King of Beidi said nothing and just looked at the civil and military officials kneeling below him quietly for a full quarter of an hour.

Almost all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and dared not even breathe.

You could hear a pin drop in the entire hall.

Finally, the King of Beidi finally looked at Xiao Muze and said slowly:

"Zer, help me go back.

I am a little tired."

"Yes."

Xiao Muzhe stepped forward respectfully, helped his father up, and the two of them walked away slowly.

At this time, the eunuch beside the King of Beidi also stepped forward and said in a shrill voice:

"Retreat."

The court officials heaved a sigh of relief, and one by one they knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Long live the king, long live the king."

Xiao Muzhe supported his father all the way to the bedroom.

Until he helped his father lie down on the bed to rest, Xiao Muzhe did not say a word to defend himself.

After his father lay down, he stepped forward to tuck in the quilt for him, then stepped aside.

"Father, you are tired today too.

If there is nothing else, I will withdraw now."

The King of Beidi saw that he was about to leave, and after a moment of silence, he could not help but ask:

"Your second brother just slandered you like that, don't you have anything to say to defend yourself?"

Xiao Muze bowed his body, his attitude extremely respectful.

"Since Father has already said that he is slandering me, why should I say anything more?

Moreover, for the sake of his son, the King, his father has demoted my second brother to a commoner.

That is enough to prove the father's trust in his son.

I thank you for your trust, Father."

Xiao Muzhe said these words calmly, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The King of Beidi raised his hand.

"Get up.

Father, you are the only one I can trust now.

Don't let your father down, understand?"

Xiao Muzhe knew that people in high positions were always suspicious.

His own father is no exception.

The former crown prince Xiao Kun has always been the one who has received the most love from his father since he was a child.

However, even so, he still committed patricide for the sake of power.

This incident was a huge blow to my father.

Logically speaking, my father should be more distrustful of the people around him.

Even if he named himself the crown prince.

That is completely possible. Give the second prince a lighter sentence and keep him by his side to check the power of the crown prince.

But my father did not do so.

Instead, he directly demoted his second brother to a commoner, clearing the obstacles for himself.

Seeing that his father had done such a thing, it would be unreasonable for him to waste any more words to defend himself.

He kowtowed to his father again.

"Father, I will try my best to do my best.

You won’t be disappointed.”

The King of Beidi nodded with satisfaction.

"The future of Beidi depends on you..."
