Rebirth of the Strongest Empress

“What the f*ck. What is going on…” The little white tiger seemed shocked.

Ye Qingtang remained silent. Looking at the scene before her, everything was clear.

It had been the Eternal Emperors one man show from the beginning. He treated everyone as a chess piece, including Ling Yan, Eldest Prince, and the rest…

“Oh… Son, it seems like you already know about it.” The Eternal Emperor snickered.

“Father, your Emperor title is the most important to you. You appointed me as the Crown Prince only to balance the situation… To prevent a single party from becoming too powerful, the best way for you is for all your children to die… This way, no one will be able to threaten your position as the Emperor. Isnt that it?” Ling Yan chuckled lightly.

“Is that what you think?” The Eternal Emperor asked.

“No Emperor would want to step down from his position… Unfortunately, your children have all grown up while you have aged, and you need to pass down the position to your children… To extend your time as the Emperor, you intentionally appointed the Fourth Prince as the Crown Prince… Afterward, you personally killed him to lower the guard of the Eldest Prince and the rest. Then, you appointed me as the Crown Prince to create a situation where my royal brother and sisters would fight it out with me. A pretty good plot,” Ling Yan said with a smile.

Many people guessed that either the Eldest Prince or Second Princess was responsible for the Fourth Princes death. Yet, no one would have thought that the true murderer of the Fourth Prince was the Eternal Emperor…

“Anything else?” The Eternal Emperor asked interestedly.

“Of course.” Ling Yan nodded slightly and spoke. “Royal brother and sister plotted to frame me as a rebel. Thus, they intentionally showed weakness to me and allowed my forces to strengthen… Over the past few days, I hid millions of troops within the Imperial City, and its impossible for you to not know. Earlier on, you allowed me to leave the palace merely to use me to kill my royal siblings. Once that is so, you have a reason to execute me, the current Crown Prince… while you can keep your Emperor title forever without any worries.”
