In the dead silence, Xiao Ran looked at Concubine Jing for help, not knowing what to do.

"Mother and concubine... son and minister, son and minister..."

Xiao Ran was so shocked. He never thought that he would become the emperor? ! What should he do?

Imperial Concubine Jing seemed to know what was going on and was not too surprised. She nodded towards Xiao Ran.

"Ran'er, take the order."

Xiao Ran quickly wiped his face, stepped forward obediently, and took the imperial edict from Fang Muxi's hand.

Fang Muxi was the first to kneel down to him, followed by the other three officials.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Only then did all the officials come to their senses, and quickly knelt down in front of Xiao Ran and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

From today on, Ninth Prince Xiao Ran is the current emperor!

Xiao Ran was so frightened by these shouts that he almost took a step back, but Imperial Concubine Jing came over and supported him.

"Ran'er, you are going to be the emperor. As the king of a country, you have to make the decision on many things, so you can't retreat or hesitate easily."

Xiao Ran said, "I know..."

At this moment, a harsh voice of opposition suddenly sounded in the hall.

"This king does not agree! There is something wrong with the edict!"

Xiao Mo stood up suddenly, looked at Fang Muxi with wide eyes, and said in a serious tone: "Fang Muxi, what good thing have you done?!"

Xiao Mo can't understand! Fang Muxi had obviously promised him that he would help him change his will! Let him ascend to the throne! Now, why is it still Xiao Ran? !

Fang Muxi raised his eyebrows, pretending to be confused, completely forgetting the guarantee he had made in front of Xiao Mo.

"His Royal Highness King Yi, Wei Chen knows that you care about Jiangshan Sheji, but please rest assured that there is absolutely no problem with this edict. The three ministers can also make decisions for Wei Chen."

Among the three ministers, Imperial Concubine Jing's father, Grand Scholar Ji, opened his mouth to speak for Fang Muxi at the right time.

"Prince Yi, Fang Yu... Prime Minister Fang is right, there is nothing wrong with the imperial edict. Some time ago, His Majesty called us together to discuss the matter of the crown prince. At that time, His Majesty had already written the imperial edict, confirming that the ninth prince was the crown prince. selection."

The other two ministers followed suit.

"Yes, we can all testify..."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo still shook his head and refused to admit it, but his expression became more and more crazy, "Impossible! Impossible! It can't be like this... It can't be Xiao Ran..."

The others frowned and stared at Xiao Mo, whispering, already dissatisfied with Xiao Mo.

Although before this, many people thought that the candidate for the crown prince was Xiao Mo, and it is very likely that Xiao Mo himself thought so too. Now that the imperial edict was announced and he found out that the candidate for the crown prince was not what he expected, Xiao Mo was temporarily hit...

But after being hit again, today's occasion is not suitable for him to object again and again.

Suddenly, Xiao Mo's expression became serious, and he stretched out his hand to snatch the imperial edict from Xiao Ran's hand, "Give me the imperial edict!"

Xiao Ran hugged the imperial edict tightly and shook his head.

Imperial Concubine Jing pushed Xiao Ran behind her and stared at Xiao Mo warily.

"King Yi, what do you want to do? There is no problem with the imperial edict!"

Xiao Mo sneered, "Who knows if you guys colluded with this edict?! I don't believe it!"

Fang Muxi stretched out his hand to stop him, "I swear to God, there is absolutely no problem with the imperial edict!"

"Get out of my way, my king!"

Su Wan noticed something was wrong with Xiao Mo's expression, stood up in fear, and shrank behind the crowd.

She was very familiar with what Xiao Mo's expression meant, it was always like this before he went crazy.

Some people were puzzled, "This King Yi is a little too excited today..."

"Aren't you excited? I thought that seat belonged to me, but it turned out to be my younger brother... I would have to vomit blood..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down! He heard..."

Xiao Mo's eyes turned cold and he glared at him with a sinister expression, which frightened the ministers into stopping their mouths.

Xiao Mo was indeed hit, but what hit him was not the already confirmed candidate for the crown prince, but the posthumous edict that Fang Muxi was reading now! The name on the edict has not changed!

Fang Muxi failed to fulfill what he promised himself! Fang Muxi actually... lied to him!

After Xiao Mo thought about this clearly, he turned and glared at Fang Muxi, with terrifying murderous intent surging in his eyes.

"you do this delibrately?!"

What else does Xiao Mo not understand at this time?

I'm afraid Fang Muxi has been lying to him from the beginning! This man deliberately gained his trust, and then secretly manipulated it to make him think that the throne was within easy reach, but refused to admit it at the last moment! Make him a laughing stock in public!

"Why did His Highness King Yi say this?"

Fang Muxi glanced at Xiao Mo with a half-smile, with an innocent look on his face, "What did Wei Chen do on purpose?"

"Okay! Okay! Very good!!" Xiao Mo pointed at him, his voice trembling with anger, "I really underestimated you! Fang Muxi, I didn't expect that you are very ambitious! You have already been making plans, right? Bar?!"

Don't think he can't guess it!

The reason why this man chose Xiao Ran must be because he thought Xiao Ran was easy to control! So that Xiao Ran can be a puppet emperor! As long as Xiao Ran becomes the emperor, as the prime minister, he can control the government and do whatever he wants!

Fang Muxi put his hands behind his back, his eyes were indifferent, but a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Wei Chen knows that His Highness cannot accept it for a while, but no matter how uncomfortable he feels, he can't talk nonsense, right? The situation is special these days, so I hope His Highness will be careful in his words and deeds."

It seems that Xiao Mo is not stupid at all. That's right, from the beginning, he was a pawn that Lin Xue secretly inserted into the Xiao royal family.

It was he who encouraged the former prince to go to the frontier, which resulted in the death of the former prince's body; it was he who invited the emperor to have the miracle doctor Yunhua, who made the emperor addicted to elixirs and his body became weak day by day. He even allowed Xiao Mo to poison the emperor; and it was he who pretended to surrender. Xiao Mo, however, switched sides at the last moment, leaving Xiao Mo daydreaming.

Lin Xue secretly used him as a chess piece to stir up chaos between Cang Kingdom and the Xiao royal family without having to show his face...

Xiao Mo and Fang Muxi looked at each other coldly. After a while, he suddenly snapped his fingers and sneered.

"You think you won? Someone come on!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

At this moment, the leader of the guards immediately walked in and stood next to Xiao Mo, and the palace guards guarding the outside surrounded everyone at this moment, drew their swords, and pointed them at them.

Fang Muxi was slightly surprised and his eyebrows moved.

I didn't expect this guy to have a trick up his sleeve.

At this moment, the murderous intent on Xiao Mo's face was undisguised, "I said that there is a problem with this edict! If this problem is not solved today, no one can leave!"

The crowd suddenly became panicked. The concubines crowded together, shivering, and the prince and princess even hid behind their heads.

"Ahhh!"

"Don't come over here!"

"What's going on? Is King Yi crazy?!"

"Brother Imperial, what are you going to do?!"

"King Yi, there is nothing wrong with the edict! Do you know the consequences of doing this?!"

The ministers were extremely shocked, and after the shock, they became panic and angry.

They never imagined that King Yi, who had always been elegant and gentle, would go crazy in public, exposing his naked ambition!

What is the problem with the edict? Basically, Xiao Mo refused to acknowledge the imperial edict and wanted to force them to recognize him as emperor!

"King Yi, are you crazy?! This is the palace! What do you want to do with these guards?! Could it be that you want to rebel?!"

"King Yi! You are so brave! Get people to retreat quickly and don't do anything wrong!"

As the leader of the group of officers, Fang Muxi did not retreat. He stood upright in front of the others and spoke in a cold tone.

"His Royal Highness King Yi, it is clear that there is no problem with the imperial edict, but you refuse to admit it. Now you have bribed the palace guards and pointed your sword at us. Are you trying to force the palace?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiao Mo turned his eyes towards him, his eyes as cold as ice.

"Tsk... Since when did I want to force the throne? I said it, but I just think there is something wrong with the edict. I feel that the person who inherits the throne should not be the ninth brother. He is too young, isn't he? I am obviously better than the ninth brother. ! I hope you all think carefully about who is the most suitable person to sit on this throne?"

These words were clearly warning everyone. Want to survive? Can! Just recognize him, Xiao Mo, as the emperor! otherwise……

Everyone looked extremely ugly and shuddered.

They didn't know that Xiao Mo had such wolfish ambitions! How dare he refuse to acknowledge the late emperor's edict and want to force him into the palace? !

The Ninth Prince Xiao Ran was even more frightened and hid behind his mother and concubine, shrinking back like a frightened bird.

He had never seen the second emperor brother with such a terrifying expression, and the look in his eyes made people panic.

Imperial Concubine Jing's face turned pale and she clutched Xiao Ran tightly.

If Xiao Mo succeeds today, Ran'er will definitely not end well!

A minister couldn't stand it, stood up, glared angrily, and yelled: "Don't even think about it! We won't admit it! How can a prince with a lowly mother and concubine become the emperor?! You are not worthy! Only the first emperor can choose The Ninth Prince is the legitimate candidate!"

Another minister stood up and said, "That's right, we only recognize the late emperor's edict! Do you think you can scare us with these people?! King Yi, your wolf ambition is clearly exposed!"

As if he heard something funny, Xiao Mo covered his face with his hands, laughing so hard that his whole body trembled.

"Haha... lowly? I am unworthy? Ambitious? Hahaha..."

Then, Xiao Mo raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, there was just a "swish" sound, and the first minister was cut off by the guard next to him. His mouth was still open, and his head had rolled to the ground. Blood spurted out from his neck and splashed on the people around him. .

Later, the second minister also had his head cut off by the guards and died with his eyes open.

"..."
