They came all the way from Yuhang just to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but before they could even see the Crown Prince ascend the throne, they were afraid that their entire family would have to be buried here with him!

Chen Qinghan stood there silently, with no sadness or joy in his eyes, just as cold and indifferent as before.

The crowd in the hall was running around. Su Yan looked through the gaps in the crowd and saw that Chen Qinghan's cheeks were red and swollen, with undried tear marks.

His heart suddenly ached.

Why was she sad? Hadn't she already gotten what she wanted?

She abandoned him, even ruined his career, buried their past love, and married into Prince Xuan's palace so decisively and gloriously. Wasn't she waiting for the day to become the Crown Princess?

Wanruo looked at the sudden reversal of the situation and immediately understood what he meant by "watching a good show".

She was still a little nervous and pulled at his sleeve: "What if the rebels really come in?"

"I'll let you come if you can kill me?"

Wanruo was stunned.

He glared at her: "I know you cherish your life very much."

Wan Ruo's pupils shrank: "Could it be that these rebels are you..."

Xie Xianyu's expression was indifferent. Looking at the still raging and incompetent Crown Prince, a hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes. "When I returned to the capital, I didn't say that the rebels had been completely wiped out."

The words were all spoken by the prince, and the credit was also taken by the prince.

"How dare you..."

Xie Xianyu looked at her, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable. "Wanwan, this battle for the throne is inherently dangerous. You must always have a backup plan before doing anything. Otherwise, the court will just turn you over and throw you away. What will you do then?"

He read books of sages since he was young, which taught him to be a loyal and pure official.

But he found it ridiculous. The government was in such chaos, the various factions were fighting endlessly, and the emperor was suspicious. Under such circumstances, what was the difference between being a loyal and honest minister and offering oneself to be used as a knife by others?

He would never let himself end up in such a passive situation.

Therefore, he did not suppress the rebels, but persuaded them to surrender. If there was no opposition in the court, he would tell the truth and ask the emperor to order them to surrender and appoint Cao Wang as a general.

If there is a traitor in the court, then these tens of thousands of rebels who should have died long ago will be weapons in his hands.

Wanruo was horrified. It turned out that he had never admitted defeat. She never expected that he could turn things around even in such a situation.

There was chaos in the hall, and the emperor hurried over.

The prince was panicking and at a loss: "Emperor..."

"Asshole!" The emperor raised his hand and slapped him in the face, his heart burning with anger. "I gave you the throne and the title of Crown Prince, and this is how you protect my kingdom?!"

The prince was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "Your Majesty, someone has plotted against me..."

"You're a piece of shit!" The emperor kicked him. "I shouldn't have believed you could make any progress. You're a piece of rotten mud. I should have strangled you to death the moment you were born!"

The prince was kicked to the ground and no one dared to help him.

Xie Xiangli's face was grim. Outside were the rebels about to attack, and inside was the prince who was about to lose power, but he was powerless to do anything.

The emperor kicked the prince, but he also became angry and started coughing violently. The palace servants hurriedly supported him.

There was chaos in the hall, everyone was in danger, and fear spread.

Xie Xianyu finally stood up and walked before the emperor, bowing calmly. "Your Majesty, I may have a way to repel the rebels."
