Empress Xie's heart couldn't help but panic when she heard the Duke Zhen say this, and her face showed a trace of panic.
"What do you mean, are you going to sever ties with me?"
"I cannot let you and Prince Jing ruin the Xie family." Duke Zhen said seriously, "I promised father that the Xie family cannot be ruined by my hand. I also promised father that I would not allow anyone to destroy the Xie family, including you! If father were alive and knew you were selfishly thinking only of Prince Jing and not considering the Xie family, he would not recognize you as his daughter!"
As he spoke, his eyes turned very cold and sharp, "If you insist on making me abolish the Crown Prince and establish Prince Jing as the Crown Prince, then don't blame me as your brother for being heartless."
"You..." Empress Xie never expected Duke Zhen to be so ruthless, and cried out in anger, "Mother, big brother is bullying me, he wants to sever our sibling relationship..."
