When Wang An heard him say this, and saw that the other servants in the courtyard had all consciously withdrawn, he knew that his master was the type who would not come to the Ninth Prince's mansion without a reason. He knew that he must have something important to discuss with Yuan Zhouhan, so he shut his mouth and stopped making trouble.

Yuan Zhouhan and Wang Bingyao greeted Shang Xiye and took their seats. The two then glanced at Xique and Bailu, who were standing next to Ji Fengyao.

The magpie stood motionless, seemingly oblivious, as if it couldn't understand.

Bai Lu slightly bent her knees, then prepared to take her leave.

Ji Fengyao stopped her with a look and said, "You two may speak frankly. We are all family here. The Prince and I do not hide anything from them."

Yuan Zhouhan and Wang Bingyao then looked at Shang Xiye with questioning eyes.

Shang Xiye took a sip of tea with a calm expression and said directly, "I know why you two have come, and I can give you the answer you want directly."

Yuan Zhouhan and Wang Bingyao were both startled and exchanged a glance.

Wang Bingyao said first: "Your Highness, I hold the position of Imperial Censor, which is to examine the officials below and the emperor above, so as not to fail in this duty. Your Majesty's recent words and deeds have indeed deviated from the character of a monarch, and you are ashamed before your ancestors and the common people. You are really not suitable to continue to rule the country. If this continues, I fear that you will bring disaster to the people of the world sooner or later."

Therefore, even if it is treasonous, I, your humble servant, have no choice but to speak it now!

With that, Wang Bingyao rose from his seat, knelt down in the manner of a subject to a ruler, and solemnly said, "I implore Your Highness to prioritize the well-being of the people and take charge of the overall situation of the world!"

Only your intervention can stabilize the court and prevent unrest in the capital.

Only you can command the respect and fear of the entire court and the trust and respect of the people of the world.

These words shocked everyone present.

Even Yuan Zhouhan, who had invited Wang Bingyao to come along, was stunned:

He knew Wang Bingyao was tough, but he didn't expect him to be this tough!

How could someone so bluntly utter such a thing as asking the Ninth Prince to rebel!

But since Wang Bingyao had already said so much, Yuan Zhouhan could no longer remain a bystander.

He immediately rose from his seat, knelt before Shang Xiche with the respect due to a subject to a ruler, and said in a deep voice, "I beg the Ninth Prince to take charge of the overall situation of the world, restore stability to the capital and the Great Zhao Dynasty, and ensure the prosperity and peace of our Great Zhao Dynasty."

Seeing this, Wang An was also greatly surprised: he never expected that his father, who had always been upright and incorruptible, would openly encourage others to rebel.

If his father were to incite others to rebel, he would simply pretend he didn't see it;

But his father persuaded his brother-in-law to rebel...

Wang An, with his hands behind his back, walked to Ji Fengyao's side, where Shang Xiye was in the same row, which was the direction where his father Wang Bingyao and Yuan Zhouhan were kneeling. He looked constipated and said, "No, Father, Uncle Yuan, it's not right for you to... to harm my brother-in-law like this, is it?"

Shang Xi glanced sideways at the night, but remained silent.

Yuan Zhisheng: "Brother Wang, come here. How can you stand there?"

“Why can’t I stand here? Princess Chonghe is my sworn sister, don’t you know that?” Wang An pointed to Ji Fengyao sitting upright beside him and said to Xique next to him, “Right, Miss Xique, tell him if it’s true or not.”

Xi Que glanced at Wang An's boyish and adorable face, and said dismissively, "Although he was the one who shamelessly pestered our boss and young master first, none of our boss, young master, or young lady objected, so let's just assume it's true."

Yuan Zhisheng: "..."

Of course I know that Princess Chonghe is your sworn sister; everyone in the capital knows that!

But that's not what I meant!
