In fact, before Chi Yao came to Tianlao, Emperor Ming sent a message to Xiao Yuancheng to come to the meeting hall.
Looking at Xiao Yuancheng who looked calm, Xiao Zhenting became a little angry.
"Do you really think that I can't find evidence that you formed a clique for personal gain?"
Xiao Yuancheng hurriedly knelt down and repeatedly said he didn't dare.
But Xiao Yuancheng knew in his heart that the subordinates of King Youzhou who had been in contact with him had never shown his true face. Even when his subordinates saw him, they only knew that he was a prince, and when he went out to do business, he always wore Xiao Yuanyou's clothes.
The color to wear.
Even if you check, you can't find him. At most, you can find Xiao Yuanyou.
Therefore, Xiao Yuancheng can be sure that Xiao Zhenting has no evidence.
Xiao Zhenting looked at the stubborn Xiao Yuancheng and threw what Xie Zhuowen presented to Xiao Yuancheng.
Xiao Yuancheng picked up the memorial, opened it, and immediately panicked.
How dare Xie Zhuowen present such a thing to Xiao Zhenting? Isn't he afraid that Xiao Zhenting will directly throw him into the sky prison?
After all, anyone who colludes with the prince and intends to rebel will be killed.
But the fact is that Xie Zhuowen not only said it, but also said it clearly.
The fold in Xiao Yuancheng's hand fell to the ground due to trembling, and he fell to his knees in the main hall.
"Hahaha, now that you know everything, it's up to you whether you want to kill or behead me."
After saying that, Xiao Yuancheng felt something was wrong again and changed his words: "It's better to say goodbye. Let's die the way my father died..."
Xiao Zhenting was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that Xiao Yuancheng had known about it for a long time.
In fact, Xiao Yuancheng was not his biological son, but the child of his imperial brother.
At that time, his imperial brother was already the prince, and his elderly and dim-witted father had already handed over the handling of many affairs to his elder brother.
But his imperial brother Shen was obsessed with beauty, listened to his concubines' words, and relied on his power to arbitrarily promote the concubine's family members. Each of them oppressed the people, making them miserable.
In the end, Xiao Zhenting relied on the support of Chi Yi, Xie Zhuowen and others to kill his brother and force his father into the palace.
But because of a trace of family affection in his heart, he adopted Xiao Yuancheng, who had not yet remembered anything.
But now, Xiao Yuancheng already knows.
"How did your father die? Do you think I killed him?"
"No! It was the people of the world who killed him, but he who was unpopular killed himself!"
Xiao Zhenting didn't think he had done anything wrong. The only thing he might have done wrong was that he had adopted Xiao Yuancheng out of soft-heartedness. Otherwise, Xiao Yuancheng would not have had the chance to make friends with Jie Zhuowen, and would not have been able to send a killer to assassinate Xiao Yuanyou.
Xiao Yuancheng was shocked when he heard Xiao Zhenting's answer. He didn't expect Xiao Zhenting to say this.
But in the words of other former officials, his father was indeed a dissolute and immoral person, and Xiao Zhenting was indeed a good emperor who served the country and the people.
Xiao Yuancheng was a little confused for a moment. Was what he did wrong?
"Come here! Announce my decree, depose the eldest prince Xiao Yuancheng as a commoner, and live in the cold palace forever. The second prince, with great talent, long-awaited ambitions, filial piety, virtue, and benevolence, will be established as the crown prince..."
After that, Xiao Yuancheng was taken to the cold palace.
Chi Yao was dragged and thrown into the cold palace, just in time to hear the eunuch reading the imperial edict.
Xiao Yuancheng is a commoner?
Crown Prince Xiao Yuanyou?
Chi Yao looked at Xiao Yuancheng, who was as embarrassed as himself, and sneered.
I have done so much, but who knew that in the end, I would be in vain.
Not only did she not become the Crown Princess, but she had to live in the cold palace with Xiao Yuancheng...
