Chapter 270 Su Xuezhao
The woman in white stood up and carefully examined her hands, her undamaged legs and feet, and the dust on her clothes had disappeared.
"I'm out, I'm finally out..."
She laughed wildly and ran until she saw the unfamiliar royal court and the ministers around her, at which point she realized what was happening.
She slowly turned her head and met Su Qi's gaze on the stage.
Su Qi frowned, slowly stepped down from the throne, tears welling in her eyes, unable to fall.
Su Qi knew very well that it was this woman in front of him who had led to his trial and death.
She hated and wanted revenge, but at the same time, she also loved Su Xuezhao, her younger sister and her only family.
Su Xue Zhao sneered. She had a face similar to Su Qi's, but was more beautiful than her sister.
"Sister..."
"Aren't you dead?"
Su Xuezhao addressed him by his name directly, showing no remorse whatsoever.
"Your Highness Xue Zhao, you must not address me by my given name," Zhao Yan reminded him.
Su Xuezhao seemed to have heard something amusing, and paced back and forth awkwardly: "You guys are still the same, you haven't changed at all."
"So that's why the people from the royal court are all gone from the empire. It turns out my sister has opened up new territories."
Su Qi frowned.
Su Xuezhao continued to provoke, "Did you suddenly bring me here for revenge?"
"Sister, don't you remember how you died?"
"Yes, I was an accomplice, but my sister's death really had nothing to do with me."
Su Qi clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
In that instant, Su Qi struggled to remember something.
Shen Chaohuai quickly stepped forward: "Are you alright? Don't deliberately use your memory sea. Your memory sea is fragmented and easily injured."
When Su Xue Zhao saw Shen Chao Huai, her expression became even more ruthless: "The Executive Officer really cares about my sister, huh? Who still remembers that we were ever engaged?"
Shen Chaohuai frowned: "It's just a marriage contract, it's no longer valid. Why does Your Highness Xue Zhao need to use this matter to bind me?"
After hearing his words, Su Xue Zhao's hatred for Su Qi deepened.
"Sister, look at this, your executive officer actually dares to talk to me like that now."
"I am, after all, the second in line to the throne... You all dare to lecture me, it's really frustrating for me to be a prince."
Lin Yuhuan couldn't stand it any longer and chimed in, "Your Highness, if you had behaved yourself, no one here would have reprimanded you. Besides, you were already enthroned as the new emperor after His Majesty's death. But now you're a prisoner, all because you betrayed your own family and even framed your own sister. Parliament believes you're unfit for the throne..."
"Shut up!" Su Xue Zhao roared, "Who knows how she died! I was just appealing to the court. You were the one who carried out the execution, Florian was the one who tried her, and the people and parliament of the empire impeached my sister. What does it have to do with me?!"
Su Qi's head was about to explode from listening.
Some fragmented memories are pieced together from the sea of memories, and pain surges from my whole body to my heart.
"His Majesty……"
She covered her chest.
“Su Xuezhao, if you hadn’t appealed to the court, I wouldn’t have chosen to die to quell the public’s anger.”
"It wasn't me! You wanted to die, what does it have to do with me?!"
The generals stood there, stunned, thinking to themselves, "So Su Qi really has forgotten how he died."
Su Qi had a splitting headache, and Su Xue Zhao stepped forward and grabbed her by the collar.
"Your Highness Xuezhao!"
"How dare you!" Shen Chaohuai tried to pull the two apart, but Su Xuezhao pushed them away with brute force.
"Sister, since you're pretending to be stupid, I'll help you remember."
“Even before you became the Emperor, you were a first-class meritorious officer of the Imperial Vanguard Alliance, a disciple and subordinate of the Executive Officer.”
"The Congress requested that our father, Su Wenyuan, the then-emperor, step down. Unfortunately, due to the successive rule of the Su family, the emperor's power had long surpassed that of the Congress and the Executive Office, so it was impossible for my father to be impeached."
"So, in order to ascend the throne as soon as possible, you killed your father, who was then practicing tyranny, and won the hearts of the people. This is the real reason for your succession."
Su Qi held her head and said, "Stop talking..."
Shen Chaohuai took a deep breath and finally couldn't help but tell the truth.
“Your sister didn’t kill Su Wenyuan on purpose. It was me. I was the one who issued the kill order. She accidentally killed Su Wenyuan while carrying out the mission.”
Su Xuezhao was shocked at first, then smiled: "We're not even married yet, and you're already helping my sister."
"I knew it! Father betrothed me to you just to break you two star-crossed lovers."
Shen Chaohuai shook his head helplessly: "This whole thing started because of me..."
He approached step by step, but what he said next shocked everyone even more.
"I want Su Qi to succeed to the throne, so I issued an order to assassinate Su Wenyuan."
"Su Wenyuan was subjected to a verdict by his own daughter without either of their knowledge... What right do you have to accuse your sister of patricide?"
As the sea of memories gradually came together, Su Qi supported his body with one hand.
She remembered...
After discovering that the person she killed was her biological father, Su Wenyuan ripped off her mask, his face filled with shock and joy.
"Heh, she truly is my daughter, she even has the ability to kill her father..." Su Wenyuan laughed.
"It's just a pity that you are a woman. How long can you hold onto this throne?"
Even after realizing it was his father, Su Qi remained calm and said, "I'm sorry, Father, this is a mission given to me by the Alliance."
She put away the gun.
"According to the male-first primogeniture rule, I will let my half-brother succeed me."
Su Wenyuan smiled and covered his wound: "You can? You can't..."
Su Wenyuan smiled and then closed his eyes.
The father knew each of his children, even when her father made a fundamental mistake.
After her mother gave birth to her and Su Xue Zhao, Su Wen Yuan went outside to find a woman to have a child with, all so that he could have Su Qi's younger brother and thus succeed to the throne.
Otherwise, the throne would be monopolized by other families.
Yes, Su Qi will not let her younger brother inherit the throne. In fact, she will imprison him so that he will never be able to compete with her for the rest of his life.
Fu Changheng removed her badge of honor: "Go, I will eliminate your rivals."
He knelt on one knee, performing the obeisance of a subject to his king.
He was outrageous and insane.
She was forced to commit patricide, thus compelling her to take control of her own power.
Only in this way could she avoid being judged by imperial law for patricide.
Unexpectedly, after finding evidence, Su Xue Zhao took advantage of the loophole and sued Su Qi, who was already the emperor, on the grounds of patricide.
Florian warned Su Xue Zhao: "Your Highness, His Majesty is the emperor. Even if you want to appeal, you must get His Majesty's approval."
Thanks to her father's plan, after Su Qi took power, all she needed to do was win people's hearts and control the six ministries and nine departments, making them at her beck and call.
Meanwhile, Su Qi's friend Gu Yan became the chief of parliament, and her throne became unshakeable.
……
As I recalled this, I heard Su Xuezhao's laughter beside me.
"Sister, don't you think about this? You are the most authoritarian emperor in history. What do my appeals and impeachment by Congress mean to you?"
“I already said, your death has nothing to do with me—” Su Xuezhao emphasized deliberately.
