At this moment, my elder brother couldn't hold his anger any longer.

Trembling, he pointed at me and said, "Xiao Jingzhao, are you trying to incite a palace coup?"

I sneered, "A palace coup? It's not like it hasn't happened before.

"Brother, have you forgotten how you came to sit in that position?"

"How dare you! Xiao Jingzhao, you're just a woman!

"What right do you have to force me?

"If I abdicate, you can only support a sideline branch to take the throne. What benefit does that bring you?"

"Hahaha!" I burst into laughter at my brother's words, tears streaming down my face.

I walked towards him step by step, and he retreated with each step.

In the end, he fell back onto the chair.

"Brother, who said we have to support a sideline branch to ascend the throne?

"Can't it be me?

"Also, brother, I can give you a dignified position as the emperor's brother."

I leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You're not abdicating, you're dying."

"How dare you! How dare you! You're defying me!" My brother, Xiao Jingxuan, slumped in the chair, consumed by rage and fear.

He waved his hand, pointing at the two commanders below.

"And you two! If you assist Xiao Jingzhao in his rebellion, you will become traitors, forever despised!

"Prime Minister Xu, draft the decree! I want to dismiss these two treacherous ministers! I want to expel Xiao Jingzhao from the family register! Execute him!"

Xiao Jingxuan, isolated and bewildered, lost his footing and couldn't see the situation clearly.

His maternal grandfather lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

Xiao Jingxuan couldn't believe it. "Prime Minister Xu, are you betraying me too?"

"Your Majesty, perhaps you should explain the true identities of the Second Princess and the Third Princess to me."

Xiao Jingxuan understood.

In an instant, it was as if his soul had been ripped away. He became weak and collapsed to the ground.
