"Your Majesty, I was enfeoffed as the Prince of Qin when I was fourteen years old, and entered the court to participate in government affairs when I was fifteen."

Isn't this exactly the result you wanted?

"Isn't your intention to have me vie for the throne and engage in a fierce struggle with the Crown Prince and my third brother?"

Then he continued:

"Since Your Majesty has given me this opportunity, how could I possibly fail to live up to your expectations?"

Now, this struggle has produced me, the most powerful and capable successor.

Your Majesty, are you still not satisfied with this?

He raised his head and stared intently at Emperor Qing, his eyes revealing a coldness and ruthlessness.

Emperor Qing sneered, his laughter carrying a hint of disdain and anger.

His eyes narrowed slightly, a fierce killing intent flashing within them, and he slowly said:

"Hahaha... Do you really think you've won this battle? Aren't you celebrating too soon?"

Emperor Qing suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, the sound echoing throughout the palace, sending chills down everyone's spines.

His eyes were like burning flames, revealing endless killing intent and anger.

With a sudden flick of his sleeve, Emperor Qing unleashed a powerful aura.

His voice boomed like thunder, deafeningly loud: "Guards!"

In an instant, the atmosphere inside the palace became extremely tense, as if the air itself had frozen.

Immediately afterwards, a group of figures dressed in black and wielding sharp blades rushed into the hall.

They moved swiftly and efficiently, forming a neat line in the blink of an eye, standing on either side of Emperor Qing.

These people were the hundred Tiger Guards hidden around Emperor Qing, responsible for protecting his safety.

The Tiger Guards were all eighth-rank officials, with stern faces and sharp glints in their eyes.

They gripped their swords tightly, the blades half-exposed, gleaming coldly, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

At this moment, they, together with Emperor Qing, formed an impregnable defensive line, tightly surrounding the civil and military officials in the center.

The crowd's faces turned ashen instantly, and they stared in terror at the Tiger Guards around them.

They understood that if Emperor Qing gave the order, these Tiger Guards would mercilessly draw their swords and slaughter all the officials before them.

Then Emperor Qing fixed his gaze on Li Chengtian and said coldly:

"As long as I don't let them lose, they will never fail!"

"And you, as long as I don't say you've won, you'll never win."

Emperor Qing's voice carried absolute majesty and domineering power, as if he held the entire world in his hands.

His gaze swept coldly over Li Chengtian, his eyes flashing with boundless authority.

"Indeed, it was I who allowed you to compete with the Third Prince, but the final decision must be made by me."

Emperor Qing spoke again, looking at Li Chengtian with a slight upturn of his lips, revealing a hint of disdain.

"Don't think you have victory in your grasp and that you can threaten me by manipulating the officials. That's nothing but wishful thinking!"

Emperor Qing's voice suddenly turned icy cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes was exposed without any attempt to conceal it.

He stared coldly at Li Chengtian, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"I am never threatened!"

Emperor Qing's words were like a thunderclap, resounding throughout the entire court.

His voice possessed an irresistible power that inspired awe in all who heard it.

Upon hearing Emperor Qing's domineering words, Li Chengtian's lips curled into a sneer.

Li Chengtian raised his right leg and, with lightning speed, stomped on the prince's neck, twisting it forcefully.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the prince's neck was flattened by Li Chengtian's foot, leaving him lifeless.

The sound shocked everyone present, and they all stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before them in disbelief.

The fact that the crown prince was killed so easily by Li Chengtian is astonishing.

"What about this?"

"If that doesn't work, I'll kill the third brother. If that still doesn't work, I'll kill the eldest and the fourth brother."

"Kill everyone who can threaten my claim to the throne."

Li Chengtian's voice was cold and ruthless, filled with a murderous aura.

After uttering his murderous words, Li Chengtian spread his hands, a helpless expression on his face.

Chapter 55 Emperor Qing in Despair: The Entire Palace is Filled with Li Chengtian's People

quiet!

It was eerily quiet!

It was so quiet it was suffocating!

It was so quiet that it felt as if time had stopped flowing!

The entire Chaotian Hall was deathly silent. Everyone seemed to be frozen in place, staring blankly at everything that was happening before their eyes, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Among them, the most shocked were undoubtedly Prime Minister Lin, Chen Pingping, the Eldest Princess, and Fan Jian.

Their eyes widened, their mouths gaped open, and they almost forgot to breathe.

Only Emperor Qing and the Third Prince had their pupils slightly constricted as they stared intently at the Crown Prince's corpse on the ground.

The Third Prince's mind reeled as if struck by lightning!

Dig!

The script is wrong!

The second brother didn't say that before!

He originally thought that Li Chengtian only wanted to exile the crown prince, but he did not expect that he would so decisively crush him.

Thinking of the scene of Li Chengtian ruthlessly trampling the Crown Prince to death, the Third Prince felt a chill rise up his spine and trembled all over.

He involuntarily took two steps back, his face filled with terror, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

At this moment, Emperor Qing's face turned extremely gloomy, veins bulging on his forehead. He raised a finger and pointed it at Li Chengtian, his finger trembling slightly with anger, his voice filled with uncontrollable rage:

"Second brother, how dare you do this!"

Emperor Qing's eyes were filled with murderous intent and anger. He never imagined that his son would do such a cruel thing.

After hearing this, Li Chengtian spread his hands again with an innocent expression and said helplessly:

"Didn't Your Majesty say you were not threatened? I don't believe it, so I'll just kill a prince and see!"

"How dare you, Second Prince, speak to me in such an attitude?" Emperor Qing roared, slamming his fist on the armrest of his dragon throne in a fit of rage.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, so what if I say that?" Li Chengtian sneered.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, his eyes turned red, and he trembled with rage.

He shouted to the Tiger Guards on either side of him, "Where are the Tiger Guards? Seize this rebellious son!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tiger Guards standing on both sides drew their swords and rushed towards Li Chengtian like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

They moved incredibly fast, arriving in front of Li Chengtian in the blink of an eye.

However, just as they were about to approach Li Chengtian, they were suddenly blocked by a mysterious force.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Chengtian sent the dozen or so Tiger Guards flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

Their internal organs were shattered, blood gushed from their mouths, and they died on the spot.

Upon witnessing this scene, Emperor Qing's face showed shock. He stared at Li Chengtian in disbelief and exclaimed in astonishment:

"Grandmaster...you've actually become a Grandmaster..."

Then, Emperor Qing suddenly realized what was going on and said loudly, "So breaking through to the Grandmaster realm is your source of confidence. No wonder you dared to force me to abdicate today."

Just as Emperor Qing was about to speak again, Han Diaosi quickly walked to his side, his expression anxious, and whispered to him:

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Just now, a group of mysterious people broke into the East Palace and started killing everyone they saw. Now there are no survivors in the entire East Palace."

As Emperor Qing listened to Han Diaosi's report, his face grew increasingly grim. Finally, he slammed his teacup to the ground and roared at Li Chengtian:

"Second Prince, how cruel you are! Killing the Crown Prince wasn't enough, you even had everyone in the Eastern Palace slaughtered!"

Upon hearing Emperor Qing's words, Li Chengtian showed no fear. Instead, he calmly looked at Emperor Qing and said:

"Your Majesty, there's no point in saying that."
