Dai Yi, who was standing behind Xiao Changgeng, was so frightened that he fell to his knees and trembled on the ground.
Xiao Changgeng glanced at him, refusing to bow his head: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has been lying dormant for a long time. If he wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, he will always be exposed. Twelve Lang is so lucky that His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to expose himself to put Twelve Lang to death?"
"You are still too immature." Xiao Huayong smiled softly and shook his head. "I want you dead, so why bother with a war? Everyone knows that I can only live for three to five years at most. What would you do if I intervene in the court from today, seize power, and show my intention to cultivate you everywhere?"
The crown prince is the crown prince, and no one can deprive him of the rights that belong to him. In previous years, he had taken the initiative to decline the position due to poor health, but from today on, he will not decline, and no one can say anything. He took over Xiao Changgeng and handled everything properly, and then let everyone outside know that these were all done by Xiao Changgeng.
Then how could this successor, who was strongly supported by the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and was determined to be trained before his energy ran out, not be feared and pushed to the forefront of the storm
He killed someone with a borrowed knife, without shedding a drop of blood, and also concealed his obvious ambition.
Xiao Changgeng couldn't help but take a step back.
"I will tell you one more thing." Xiao Huayong whispered, "Your Sixth Brother is not dead. He just ran away early because he was afraid of me. Do you know why he was afraid of me?"
Xiao Changgeng's face turned pale.
He always thought that his sixth brother Xiao Changyu only loved beauty and not the throne. He doubted the death of his sixth brother because it was such a coincidence that Bian Dajia also died. He did not expect that the reason why his sixth brother was so determined was not only because of beauty, but also because the prince in front of him made him desperate and afraid that he dared not have the slightest desire to interfere in the throne.
"Because... seven years ago, he saw me strangle your eldest brother to death..." Xiao Huayong slowly and lightly revealed a shocking secret.
Xiao Changgeng could no longer hold on and staggered a few steps before holding onto the pillar next to him.
It was obvious that the eldest brother was an adulterer in the palace and was caught in bed by Your Majesty, so he was executed by Your Majesty. Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that he strangled him to death with his own hands
Seven years ago, the eldest brother was already a young man, and the crown prince was only twelve years old. He...
Not only did he strangle his eldest brother to death, he also set up a trap to conceal the truth, so that until now no one knows the real cause of his eldest brother's death.
The Sixth Prince was only twelve years old that year. What was the reason that made the Sixth Prince, an eyewitness, keep the matter to himself and not dare to stand up and testify against the Crown Prince
For so many years, the Crown Prince knew that the Sixth Prince was an insider, but he never took any action against him. How confident is he
The impact of this news on Xiao Changgeng was so great that it was completely beyond his ability to bear.
This news also put a fact before him, that is, Xiao Huayong had already killed the prince, and he did it so casually.
"Tianyuan, take Shierlang to the vacated Jueyue Palace." Xiao Huayong returned to his lazy tone.
"Yes." Tian Yuan responded respectfully, turned around and walked in front of Xiao Changgeng, "Your Highness, please follow me."
Xiao Changgeng looked dejected, but he still remembered the etiquette. He bowed to Xiao Huayong and then tried his best to stay calm and keep up with Tian Yuan's pace.
