Chapter 166 The Second Deposed Crown Prince

“…”

Chu Cong listened to Doctor Lin's report, and even the usually gentle Doctor Lin seemed to be complaining vaguely.

Is Concubine Fang relying on the fact that she is pregnant?

With the incident of Li becoming arrogant due to her pregnancy, Chu Cong frowned when he heard what Concubine Fang had said. He said, "Doctor Lin, since Concubine Fang is pregnant, we have to be more cautious. Starting this month, Doctor Lin's monthly salary will be doubled. I also recommend Lin Fang to study at the Imperial Academy."

Lin Fang is the grandson of Doctor Lin.

Doctor Lin was not interested in the doubling of his monthly salary. He worked as a court physician in the palace. In addition to his monthly salary, he could also receive a lot of bonuses. There was no shortage of money in his family.

Although his son did not pass the imperial examination, his grandson Lin Fang showed extraordinary talent in studying.

Doctor Lin also put a lot of effort into the enlightenment of his grandson.

Now is the time to enter the academy. If I can really enter the Imperial College...

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best to help Concubine Fang and Concubine Shen to have a safe pregnancy." Doctor Lin looked at the prince with gratitude. If his grandson could enter the Imperial College, it would be a great opportunity.

"I am just recommending. Whether or not Lin Fang can get in depends on whether he has the ability." Chu Cong reminded him that he was just recommending.

"I am already satisfied that Your Highness is willing to recommend me." Doctor Lin has confidence in his grandson.

Time passed day by day, and Shen Lingshu spent her days in the imperial manor taking care of her pregnancy. She was so comfortable that she couldn't serve the prince because of her pregnancy. She originally wanted to remind the prince whether she should bring her concubine from the mansion.

But Chu Cong was so busy every day that he kept his feet on the ground, or he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. He didn't mean that, and Shen Lingshu didn't want to bring it up and make things difficult for herself.

So, Shen Lingshu pretended not to know and spent every day together like a family of four. If necessary at night, she would spend a special and sweet night with Chu Cong to enhance the feelings between the two.

At the end of May, good news came from South City. Even though the rice had not been harvested yet, the golden and heavy ears of rice showed that they were ready to be harvested!

Although Shen Lingshu was not very clear about what was happening in the court, she could vaguely sense that something was wrong. After all, the prince who was guilty had come to the capital overnight!

That’s not all, he even didn’t come home for the whole night.

"Zhu Xin, find out what happened."

Shen Lingshu was a little restless. Next month would be the time for the second dethronement of the Crown Prince. She had to keep a close eye on him these days and nothing could go wrong.

"Yes, Master, don't worry, I will go to Kyoto right away."

As Zhu Xin was speaking, she took a carriage to the capital early in the morning, saying that she was delivering something to Madam Song. However, after the item arrived, before Zhu Xin had time to inquire about it, she heard Song Fanghua say, "How is Shu'er? Tell her to stay at the imperial farm and don't come to the capital."

"Madam, what's wrong? Did something happen to the prince?" Zhuxin's heart skipped a beat. Thinking about the fact that the prince went to the capital last night and did not return all night, Zhuxin became even more worried.

The master is a concubine of the prince. If something happens to the prince, then the future of the master will be dark.

"fine."

Song Fanghua knew she had misunderstood, so she said, "The prince is fine. It was the crown prince who was in trouble, and he has been deposed again."

Song Fanghua is now a co-wife. After the crown prince was deposed, last night, Shen Changxing came over to drink with her for the first time, praising her for raising a good daughter.

Song Fanghua pondered secretly, the Crown Prince was deposed, and the one who could ascend to the throne was Prince Lin. Shu'er was now pregnant with her second child. If this was really the case...

Song Fanghua didn't sleep well last night. If Zhuxin hadn't come early, Song Fanghua would have wanted to go find Shen Lingshu.

"ah!"

When Zhu Xin heard this for the second time, she became even more panicked. If the crown prince was deposed, would the prince be implicated?

"I've prepared some candied fruit. Bring it to Shu'er later."

After Song Fanghua learned that her daughter had morning sickness, she specially collected a lot of candied fruits and made some candied fruits herself, hoping that Shen Lingshu would not be able to eat anything, otherwise, where would the nutrition for the child come from?

"Don't worry, Madam. The master is no longer suffering from morning sickness."

Zhu Xin looked at her busy figure and quickly explained, "Madam Cui prepared ginger and chopped chili peppers for the master, and now the master is enjoying everything he eats."

"That's good."

Song Fanghua didn't stop what she was doing and said, "Give it to Shu'er as a snack."

Finally, when Zhu Xin returned to Huangzhuang, she was carrying bags of all kinds of candied fruits and cakes specially made by Song Fanghua. Shen Lingshu ate so much that she didn't know which one to eat first!

"Master, the crown prince has been deposed!"

Zhu Xin's words made Shen Lingshu, who was about to eat the cakes, stunned for a moment. This was different from the script. In the script, when the prince was offering sacrifices to the late queen, he was secretly fooling around with the young man and was caught by the emperor?

How did it change?

"How was it abolished?"

Shen Lingshu asked anxiously. Now that the prince was deposed, he might not have a chance to rise again.

"Master, don't worry. I went around the streets and everyone is talking about this. I heard it's because the Crown Prince is wearing a dragon robe in the East Palace."

Zhu Xin told everyone the news she had heard. Everyone was saying that the prince was wearing a dragon robe with a five-clawed golden dragon on it!

The emperor was furious and immediately deposed the prince.

"Dragon robe?"

Shen Lingshu murmured, "There should be more than just this."

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Lin and Prince Heng are kneeling outside. The Duke and several ministers of the cabinet are waiting outside."

Eunuch Feng spoke cautiously. He had been with the emperor for so many years, but yesterday was the first time he saw the emperor so angry.

"not see."

The emperor's cold voice still carried lingering anger. Yesterday, he received news that the early rice harvest was going to be good, and on a whim, he decided to go to the East Palace to see what was going on with the matter of the embezzlement of 100,000 taels of silver from the dike.

Who knew that once he entered the East Palace, he would find something amiss. The eunuch who was on guard was immediately gagged by the Emperor. After entering the room, he saw the dignified Crown Prince actually having an affair with a young man...

The emperor's face turned black on the spot, and he beat the young man to death with a stick. I, the prince, knelt down and cried bitterly, saying that he had just made a mistake for a moment.

When the emperor was about to leave, he discovered the dragon robe. The emperor was furious and placed the prince under house arrest. He personally stayed in the East Palace. When someone who didn't know the reason reported the news, the emperor found out!

The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace cannot even tolerate his own younger brother, let alone his other younger brothers?

I still remember that the last time the crown prince was deposed, the second son ran around to apologize for the crown prince. Now, in less than a year, the crown prince wants to kill the second son because of the food issue?

This completely disappointed the emperor. In anger, the emperor directly deposed the prince.
