I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Being alone is also possible."

These five words contain a tremendous amount of information!

Although everyone knew that Qin Li had long coveted the throne and considered it his own, and that no one else should even think about touching it, and that anyone who did would die, Qin Li had never openly revealed this idea in court.

It wasn't that Qin Li dared not speak, but that he couldn't speak.

Once it's spoken, things change.

Everyone knows that Qin Li is the future emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even Emperor Xuan himself knows this.

But before Emperor Xuan died, no one dared to say it, and Qin Li could not say it.

If this were said, where would Emperor Xuan put his face? Because this was practically the same as forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuan stared at Qin Li in disbelief.

The day has finally come.

He thought Qin Li would give him a good ending, but Qin Li did not.

They wanted to seize his throne while he was still alive.

"Hahaha."

Emperor Xuan was not angry; he simply laughed, a laugh bordering on madness.

He pointed at Qin Li and said condescendingly, "Crown Prince, are you in such a hurry?"

Qin Li stood ramrod straight, like a javelin, and said, "It's not that I'm impatient, but that His Majesty is old and frail, and has become confused."

"Am I confused?"

Emperor Xuan chuckled and retorted, "How am I confused? Explain yourself clearly!"

Qin Li pointed at Qin Han and said, "He is my second brother, His Majesty's second son. His Majesty wants to kill his own son. Is His Majesty not confused?"

"When the crown prince killed his brother, did he ever realize that he was also confused?"

Emperor Xuan seized the opportunity and turned the tables on Qin Li.

In any case, today the father and son, the ruler and his subject, have completely torn off all pretense of civility. Rather than backing down, he might as well give Qin Li a proper fight.

He wanted to see whether Qin Li, the son, was more capable, or he, the father, was more capable.

Is it Qin Li, the crown prince who is a minister, or the emperor who is the ruler?

"Does Your Majesty mean the third and sixth princes?"

Qin Li asked the question knowingly, but he had killed both the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince.

"Otherwise what?"

Emperor Xuan sat down again.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be a protracted battle.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanlu ignored the murderous glare of Emperor Xuan.

They quickly brought a chair for Qin Li and placed it behind him.

Anyway, there will be no crown prince today, only one emperor, and he is not afraid of Emperor Xuan's future revenge.

After sitting down, Qin Li said, "Third Brother and Sixth Brother deserved to die. I have never regretted killing them!"

Over the years, Qin Li has killed countless people, but the two he regrets the least are the two he killed.

Even if he were given another chance, he would still kill the two of them.

"What a wonderful statement, 'Never regretting it'!"

"Then what right do you have to speak ill of me!"

Emperor Xuan slammed his hand on the dragon table, making a loud noise.

Qin Li can kill his brother, so why can't he kill his son? That's unfair.

Qin Li said, "Because the third and sixth brothers deserve to die, but the second brother's crime doesn't warrant death!"

"If it weren't for the second prince's unauthorized return to the capital, how would the people of the world know His Majesty's true colors!"

"Back then, how exactly did the princess of Yelang die? How many times has Your Majesty lingered in the dead of night, regretting it?"

"To trick the second son into poisoning his own mother—is that something a father and a husband would do?"

Whenever he thought of these things, Qin Li hated Emperor Xuan to the bone, and Qin Han hated him even more.

"That vile woman practiced witchcraft in the harem, cursing me and the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Doesn't she deserve to die?"

"I admit my methods are shameful, but I did it for the sake of the Great Zhou!"

Emperor Xuan raised his arms, feeling no regret or remorse for what he had done back then.

Give him another chance, no, give him a hundred chances, and he'll still do the same thing.

Seeing Emperor Xuan like this, Qin Han could no longer bear it.

He raised his fist, ready to rush over and smash it hard into Emperor Xuan's face.

Fortunately, the ministers around him worked together to stop him; otherwise, Emperor Xuan's old bones would have been smashed to pieces.

"Second brother, calm down!"

"You'll have your chance for revenge soon!"

After offering a few words of comfort, Qin Li said, "What a fine excuse, 'for the Great Zhou,' what a high-sounding reason."

"Alright, I can let bygones be bygones regarding the matter of the princess of Yelang Kingdom for now."

"But what about my mother's matter? How do you explain that?"

"your mother?"

Emperor Xuan was taken aback.

In an instant.

The image of a young girl appeared in Emperor Xuan's mind.

The same thought also crossed the minds of the ministers.

First Queen, Wang Yaoguang!

She was a woman who couldn't be more perfect, but unfortunately she died too young.

"The Empress has been dead for so many years, why should I explain it to you?" Emperor Xuan stubbornly refused to admit it.

Qin Li narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty killed your wife; shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"Killed his wife?"

Emperor Xuan couldn't help but laugh. "Everyone in the world knows that the Empress died because of you. When she gave birth to you, she had a difficult childbirth and took several years to recover. It was you who killed the Empress, not me."

"Oh, really?"

Qin Li said, "Then dare you swear a poisonous oath here, in front of all the ministers, that you absolutely did not harm the Empress, that the Empress's death had nothing to do with you, and that the death of my maternal grandfather, the previous King of Liangzhou, also had nothing to do with you. If you have, may you be struck by lightning, die a horrible death, and be reborn as an animal for all eternity, never to be reincarnated. Do you dare?"

A vicious oath of hatred.

The ministers all had the same thought in their minds.

Under the influence of Emperor Xuan, most of the ministers became Buddhists.

In Buddhist teachings, being reborn as an animal, or even for eternity, is considered the most severe punishment.

Emperor Xuan's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth. "Why should I swear a poisonous oath? I didn't do it, and that's it."

"Throughout my life, I have lived an upright and honorable life..."

Before Emperor Xuan could finish speaking, Qin Li interrupted him, unable to hold back his anger, and shouted:

"Shut your filthy mouth, you old codger, how dare you say such a thing."

Emperor Xuan was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape.

As the saying goes, some things lose their meaning once they are spoken.

Although he knew that Qin Li had secretly cursed him a lot for being an old man.

But this is the first time I've ever cursed at him to his face.

"How dare you!"

Emperor Xuan slammed his fist on the table and angrily rebuked him.

"You are shameless!"

Qin Li did not back down in the slightest.

"Guards! Guards!"

"Drag this rebellious son out and give him a severe beating!"

Emperor Xuan roared like thunder, his hair and beard standing on end, clearly enraged to the extreme.

But no one came in. With Han Zhen gone, the entire palace fell completely into Qin Li's hands.

"Guards, drag him off the dragon throne!"

At Qin Li's command, Sui Ge led the Imperial Guards into the main hall, each of them harboring ill intentions.

"You dare! You dare! I am the Emperor, the Emperor!"

"By doing this, you are committing rebellion, rebellion!"

"I will exterminate your entire family, your entire clan..."

Amidst the Emperor Xuan's roar, he was still roughly dragged off the dragon throne by two imperial guards and thrown in front of Qin Li, his crown falling to the ground...
