After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"My son has met my father." Xiao Rongxuan bowed his hands in salute.

While bending down respectfully, Xiao Rongxuan quietly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Xiao, but he happened to meet Emperor Xiao's gaze.

Xiao Rongxuan was stunned and subconsciously retracted his gaze. At the same time, Emperor Xiao's lukewarm voice sounded.

"Get up."

"Yes, I would like to thank my father." Xiao Rongxuan calmed down and stood up straight.

"What's the matter with you coming here today?" Emperor Xiao asked, still looking closely at Xiao Rongxuan.

The latter frowned unconsciously, and even the expression on his face was uncontrollably nervous.

Xiao Rongxuan tried his best to smile and said to Emperor Xiao: "Father, there's nothing big to do. It's just that my ministers have pretty much taken care of the government affairs today, and there's nothing much to do in the palace, so I thought of coming to visit my father."

After saying that, the smile on Xiao Rongxuan's face became even bigger, waiting for Emperor Xiao to speak, but the latter didn't say anything, just looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Xiao Rongxuan's heart thumped. Although he was full of confidence before coming here and even thought of several ways to turn the chat into testing, at this moment, facing Xiao Emperor's intimidating gaze, he suddenly realized that he Maybe I thought things were too simple before.

At least at this moment, facing such eyes, those probing words were really hard to say.

Xiao Rongxuan secretly took a breath of cold air and continued: "Father, although it is spring now, you still have to pay more attention to your daily life, especially since your father is busy with everything, working hard for state affairs, and thinking hard, so you should..."

"Did you come into the palace today just to talk nonsense?" Emperor Xiao finally interrupted Xiao Rongxuan, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper, showing his displeasure at the moment.

"Father, son and minister..."

"I thought you were going to give me what you got from Chu Huanyan."

Xiao Rongxuan was startled, and the unfinished words were stuck in his throat. He looked at Emperor Xiao in panic.

"Father, you already know everything?"

"Why, do you think you can hide such a big commotion from me?" Emperor Xiao sneered and looked at Xiao Rongxuan's expression, "It seems that you did not enter the palace today to hand over the evidence to me."

I have really raised a good son. On the surface, I am respectful, but in fact, I am afraid I have never been of the same mind as him!

Clearly seeing the displeasure and coldness in Xiao Emperor's eyes, Xiao Rongxuan's heart almost instantly reached his throat. He almost instinctively wanted to apologize and express his loyalty, but when the words came to his lips, he still held back.

No, he went through all the trouble to get the evidence, not just to hand it over to his father.

Since the father already knows, then this face... simply tear it apart in advance.

"Father, I would like to ask, is what happened back then really like that?" Xiao Rongxuan gritted his teeth and looked directly into Emperor Xiao's eyes, trying his best to not look so timid.

"Yes, so what if it's not?" Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Rongxuan coldly, "Why, is it possible that you still want to make the evidence public and convict me personally!"

The contemptuous sneer on Emperor Xiao's lips was so obvious that it was like a thorn pricking into Xiao Rongxuan's eyes.

"Father, what about the Queen Mother? Did you kill the Queen Mother because she did something wrong, or because she knew the truth back then, and you finally found the opportunity to kill her and silence her!"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Xiao slapped the dragon case in front of him, "Xiao Rongxuan, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know!" Xiao Rongxuan's tone was filled with anger, and even the fear he had just now weakened a bit, "Father, the queen and you are married after all. Although she did something wrong and caused public resentment, But is there really no way for you to spare her life? Or, in fact, the father wishes the mother to die, because after the mother dies, she will no longer be able to reveal the secrets of the past, and the father can sit back and relax. Stable dragon chair?"

In the past years, his mother had told him more than once that the position of prince would be his sooner or later.

At that time, he didn't understand and didn't fully believe what his mother said. After all, although his mother favored him and helped him in every way, his father was very protective of Xiao Jinzhi's position as the crown prince. How could his mother be so confident?

Thinking about it now, maybe it's because the father and the queen are guarding a common secret, and the queen feels that as long as that secret exists, the father will be more or less concerned about her opinion. That secret may be the bargaining chip in the mother's heart.

But now, the queen mother is dead!

The only person who was completely on his side and considered every plan for him, died like this because of the poisonous wine ordered by his father himself.

The veins on Emperor Xiao's forehead were rising and falling, not only because of Xiao Rongxuan's disobedience, but also because he actually touched his heart.

For Emperor Xiao, Queen Wei can live, but the premise is that she must not have the slightest intention of threatening him with the original secret.

Ever since Empress Wei threatened him with secrets, he had already had murderous intentions. The so-called empress was crazy, but it only gave him an excellent opportunity to take action.

Slowly exhaling, Emperor Xiao restrained the emotions on his face.

"Xuan'er, do you want to be my enemy?"

Xiao Rongxuan avoided Xiao Emperor's gaze and said in a low voice, "I just want my father to be fair. Xiao Jinzhi has been sitting on the throne of the prince for so long, and now it is my turn."

The queen mother is already dead, and there is no point in continuing to pursue the case.

But he had already paid so much, and no matter what, he had to get the crown prince position. If Xiao Jinzhi is really allowed to ascend the throne, he may not only lose the throne, but he may not even be able to save his life.

There is no longer any brotherhood between the two of them, and all that remains is a fight to the death.

"So, what do you want me to do? Directly issue an order to depose Xiao Jinzhi?"

"Is that okay?" Xiao Rongxuan looked at Emperor Xiao.

"No." Emperor Xiao replied without hesitation.

If Xiao Jinzhi is directly eliminated, who knows what trouble the people in the dark will cause.

"Not only will I not destroy Xiao Jinzhi, but you are also not allowed to attack Xiao Jinzhi without my order. I can only have the final say on how to take his life."

Xiao Rongxuan looked away in disappointment, "Sure enough, my father has been so partial to Xiao Jinzhi all these years, and now, he still..."

"Although I will not kill Xiao Jinzhi immediately, I can also give you a chance to ascend to the position of prince." Xiao Emperor said in a deep voice.

Xiao Rongxuan was puzzled, "What does the father mean by these words?"

"It means that you obey my orders now and do things for me. When the things are done, I will naturally not treat you badly."

"Father, do you mean cooperation?"

Emperor Xiao sneered, "You think highly of yourself. What I mean is that you can be driven by me."

Xiao Rongxuan frowned, and was about to remind Emperor Xiao that he still held evidence in his hand, but before he could speak, the latest news about Cuiheng Mountain came from outside the imperial study...
