Xiao Yuheng laughed so hard that tears came out.

After a while, he stopped laughing and looked at Emperor Chengren fiercely.

"Father, I have been by your side for many years, but you would rather believe outsiders than give me a chance to defend myself."

"I have lived under the shadow of Xiao Yujing since I was young. In your eyes, I am inferior to him in everything. On the surface, you dote on me very much, but what about in reality? You don't let me get involved in any political affairs at all. You are only focused on paving the way for him, Xiao Yujing!"

"No matter how much I wanted your approval, you always said lightly: 'Your Second Brother will make the decision on this matter in the future...'"

"Father, we are both your children, why don't you give me a chance to compete with Xiao Yujing for the throne fairly? Is it because you are afraid of the former crown prince? Are you such a coward as an emperor?!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Chengren's chest heaved violently with anger.

Xiao Yuheng wiped away her tears indifferently.

"But none of this matters now. Xiao Yujing is dead!"

"From now on, you only have Xiao Yuyan, your eldest son who is as stupid as a pig, and this youngest son who just found you halfway!"

"There is no one to carry on the great legacy! There is no one to carry on the great legacy! Hahahaha..."

Xiao Yuheng's words deeply hurt Emperor Chengren's heart, and the entire hall fell silent.

Jiang Ruoli clenched her fists and used the last bit of her remaining rationality to suppress the urge to hit him.

Xiao Yuheng's crazy laughter echoed in the hall.

"Who said there is no one to carry on the great legacy?"

A familiar voice came from the door. Jiang Ruoli was stunned and turned around abruptly.

Then Xiao Yujing was seen walking slowly towards the door against the light.

In an instant, tears filled Jiang Ruoli's eyes.

Is she...is she hallucinating?

Xiao Yujing came to the hall and saw Jiang Ruoli looking at him with uneasy, hesitant and unbelievable eyes.

His heart suddenly ached.

Unable to help but walk to her side, Xiao Yujing stretched out his hand and held her hand, and said softly: "Li'er, I'm back..."

Jiang Ruoli burst into tears, "Your Highness..."

Xiao Yujing touched her head lovingly and turned to look at Emperor Chengren.

"Father, I am guilty and I am sorry to have caused you worry."

Emperor Chengren was so shocked that he was speechless. His mood was up and down. For a moment, he couldn't believe whether the Xiao Yujing in front of him was real.

"Jing'er, is that you?"

"It's my father. I'm not dead." Xiao Yujing said in a gentle voice.

Emperor Chengren burst into tears, "Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay..."

When Xiao Yuheng saw Xiao Yujing at this moment, he collapsed to the ground in an instant.

"Aren't you dead? Why......"

"Why didn't your people send the message?" Xiao Yujing looked at Xiao Yuheng coldly.

The people arranged by Xiao Yuheng are still guarding "his" body in Qingze County, preparing to send the body back to Beijing.

Xiao Yuheng sat on the ground in a daze.

What went wrong?

Why...why did God do this to him...

Xiao Yujing's arrival caused an uproar in the palace. The prince was not dead, and the court officials were extremely excited.

In the lively and joyful atmosphere, no one noticed that a person was quietly approaching Emperor Chengren.

Emperor Chengren was excitedly holding Xiao Yujing's hand when he was suddenly yanked hard by someone and fell backwards without warning.

His back suddenly rested against a chest, and a dagger was placed at his neck.

"Father!"

Xiao Yujing took a step forward, and "Zheng Ye" smiled coldly.

"Your Highness, for the sake of His Majesty's life, I advise you to stay where you are."

The voice was hoarse and dry, not like Zheng Ye's voice.

Xiao Yujing narrowed his eyes and shot his gaze at the other party like a sharp sword.

"He Mingrong."

He Mingrong laughed, "Your Highness has good eyesight."

As he spoke, he reached out and tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a pale and hideous face.

"He Mingrong! It's He Mingrong!"

The court officials were shocked when they saw the familiar face in front of them.

Emperor Chengren frowned and shouted coldly, "He Mingrong, what do you want to do? I advise you to put down the knife..."

"What to do?" He Mingrong's eyes were filled with madness. "Of course I will kill you, old man."

"Your Xiao family has caused my He family to be destroyed, and today I will seek justice!"

"Fairness?" Xiao Yujing snorted coldly, "Your He family is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, how can there be justice?"

"That was also because you guys forced us to do that!" He Mingrong shouted at the top of his lungs, "My He family has assisted the emperor for generations, but unfortunately fate played tricks on us. The former crown prince had an accident, so we assisted his orphan."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Yuheng fiercely.

"But I didn't expect that he was such a fool!"

Xiao Yuheng looked at him in shock.

"But none of this matters now. As long as I kill all of you Xiao family members, this world will belong to me, He Mingrong!"

"Your Majesty, I will send you on your way right now!"

He Mingrong raised the dagger in his hand fiercely and stabbed towards Emperor Chengren's neck.

"call out--"

With a sharp sound, a long arrow pierced through the window and hit He Mingrong's shoulder holding the dagger.

He Mingrong felt pain for a moment, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he let go of Emperor Chengren.

Lu Jinzhou quickly protected Emperor Chengren, and the surrounding imperial guards rushed over.

He Mingrong was shot in the shoulder and was surrounded by a group of royal guards.

Burch walked quickly into the hall, knelt down and saluted, "I am late in protecting you."

Emperor Chengren waved his hand and looked at He Mingrong and Xiao Yuheng with a gloomy gaze.

"Take these two away and put them in jail."

"Yes!"

Several royal guards escorted the two men out the door.

Xiao Yuheng had a dejected look on his face, and was escorted out by the Royal Guards, half dead.

He Mingrong covered his right shoulder in pain, and his eyes flashed slightly when he passed by Jiang Ruoli.

It's all this woman's fault!

If it weren't for her, Xiao Yuheng's identity would not have been revealed!

Suddenly, he took out a hidden weapon from his sleeve with his left hand and threw it towards Jiang Ruoli!

Everyone was concerned about Emperor Chengren, even the Imperial Guards surrounded him, and no one noticed the hidden weapon.

Except Xiao Yujing.

"Pear, be careful!"

Before the hidden weapon stabbed Jiang Ruoli, Xiao Yujing pushed away the royal guards in front of him and strode towards Jiang Ruoli.

"Pfft-"

There was a very light sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.

Jiang Ruoli stared at Xiao Yujing in front of her in a daze.

Xiao Yujing smiled at her faintly, "Don't be afraid, Li'er, it's okay."

The next moment, the tall figure in front of him fell to the ground with a bang.

"Xiao Yujing!"

Jiang Ruoli rushed in front of Xiao Yujing, looking at the man lying on the ground, at a loss as to what to do.

"Your Highness!"

Burch rushed to Xiao Yujing, and the Royal Guard kicked He Mingrong down, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
