In the imperial study, Emperor Hui was worried about the issue of deposing the crown prince.
He just announced this yesterday, but was opposed by the ministers.
They all agreed that the prince had done nothing wrong and should not be deposed from the throne.
None of these old guys really care about him. Emperor Hui is almost mad at them.
The queen also came to plead for mercy, asking him to reconsider it.
Does he need them to teach him how to do things?
In the end, Emperor Hui deposed the crown prince according to his own ideas.
Seeing that Emperor Hui had made up his mind and there was no way to change it, the ministers had to give up temporarily.
"Your Majesty, General Mu requests to see you." Eunuch Wang stood aside and reported to Emperor Hui.
Emperor Hui paused, pressed his painful forehead, and said helplessly: "Send him in."
Shouldn’t Mu Fan be at the border at this time? Why is he back now?
Just as he was wondering, Mu Fan came over quickly.
When he saw Emperor Hui, he immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Emperor Hui immediately sat up straight and glanced towards Mu Fan.
"My dear, please stand up and speak directly."
As a general, Mu Fan went to the border and stayed away all year round to guard the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom. Emperor Hui valued him very much.
Emperor Hui called him to get up, but he refused unless Emperor Hui agreed to his conditions.
"Your Majesty, my daughter was pregnant with the prince's child, but she was framed by the prince's woman and had a miscarriage. I beg Your Majesty to give my daughter an explanation." Mu Fan's words were earnest, and his words contained indignation towards the prince.
"What? The prince did something stupid again." Emperor Hui was so angry that he stood up from his chair.
The prince actually caused someone's daughter to have a miscarriage. What a sin.
It is estimated that Mu Fan can only vent his anger by giving the prince a lesson.
If his Yan'er was bullied by someone, he would have killed that person long ago.
Mu Fan thought that Emperor Hui did not believe him, and he became anxious, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true."
"The imperial physician can testify for me. If I have lied in any way, I am willing to resign from my position as general."
When Emperor Hui heard this, he said, how could this be possible? You are my right-hand man.
"I understand. It's not that I don't believe you."
"Since this was done by the prince, let's handle it according to the rules."
Mu Fan's stiff face finally softened. Fortunately, the emperor was wise and would not protect the prince.
"Mu Qingyun is no longer the crown prince, he is just an ordinary prince." Emperor Hui suddenly said this.
Mu Fan had just returned to Kyoto, so it was no wonder that he didn't know that Emperor Hui had removed the crown prince from his position as crown prince.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Seeing that Mu Fan had no intention of leaving, Emperor Hui thought that he still had questions.
Mu Fan secretly observed Emperor Hui's expression and found that he was not impatient, so he felt relieved.
"There is one more thing. I beg Your Majesty to agree to it. Otherwise, I will kneel down forever."
He remembered what Mu Qinglan had asked him to do before, and he spoke it out loud.
Even though he was scolded by Emperor Hui, he accepted it. "I beg the emperor to allow my daughter to divorce the eldest prince."
Now that the crown prince has been abolished, he is just the eldest prince.
Then, Mu Fan told Emperor Hui about Mu Qinglan's experience and the grievances he had suffered.
The purpose was to get Emperor Hui to agree to this matter. After all, it was not easy for the prince to divorce.
"I can agree to this. I will ask him to come over now to apologize to you."
Emperor Hui summoned the eunuch and asked him to call the prince over.
While waiting, Emperor Hui and Mu Fan discussed some matters concerning the border.
Now that the year is coming to an end, we cannot allow war to break out.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, the eldest prince Mu Qingyun came over.
He caught a glimpse of Mu Fan standing beside him and thought to himself that something was wrong.
"Yun'er, do you know why I called you here today?" As soon as Emperor Hui's words came out, they hit Mu Qingyun's heart hard.
Little did he know that Emperor Hui asked him to come here in order to give Mu Fan an explanation.
Mu Qingyun stood aside with his head down. "Father, I don't know."
"Rebellious son, kneel down."
Before Mu Qingyun could react, he knelt down.
"General Mu said that it was the person you brought back who caused Mu Qinglan to have a miscarriage? Huh?" The oppressive force from Emperor Hui forced Mu Qingyun to not dare to look up.
He murmured, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought Yun Yi back."
Mu Fan felt that he did not really know he was wrong, but was forced to do so under pressure from Emperor Hui.
He walked up to Mu Qingyun, pulled his collar and lifted him up: "Lan'er has been good enough to you, why do you want to hurt her."
"In that case, then you should divorce Lan'er." Mu Fan's eyes flashed with ferocity, and his coldness shot towards Mu Qingyun.
He wanted to beat Mu Qingyun up to see if he dared to bully his daughter again.
Mu Qingyun's heart trembled and he nodded woodenly.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Mu Fan put him down and pushed him away forcefully.
Emperor Hui did not stop Mu Fan. He felt that Mu Qingyun needed to be taught a lesson.
Otherwise he will cause even greater trouble in the future.
"Yun Er, since you know you are wrong, I will punish you with twenty strokes of the cane and you are not allowed to go out for a month."
"Also, your marriage with Mu Qinglan is annulled. From today on, you two should divorce."
"As for the woman you brought back, I heard that she is pregnant with your child, so put her in jail."
After the child is born, take the child out of the prison, and as for the woman, let her stay in the prison to atone her sins.
For the sake of the child, spare her life.
It was Emperor Hui who issued the imperial decree to agree to their marriage. Now, it was Emperor Hui who annulled their marriage.
Mu Qingyun didn't dare to have any opinion on this.
In order to give Mu Fan an explanation, Emperor Hui ordered the guards to hold Mu Qingyun and beat him with twenty boards in front of him.
Seeing the once arrogant Mu Qingyun become like this, Mu Fan felt a little better instantly.
The prince was beaten so hard that he screamed and cried. After the twenty strokes of the cane, he was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up.
He didn't expect that Emperor Hui was serious and thought he was just doing it for Mu Fan to see.
Finally, Mu Qingyun asked someone to carry him back to the East Palace.
Yun Yi saw Mu Qingyun being carried back and rushed to him. "Your Highness, what happened to you?"
Mu Qingyun couldn't bear the pain and ignored her.
Yun Yi didn't know the seriousness of the matter yet. When she wanted to continue asking questions, she was dragged away.
"What are you doing? I am the future Crown Princess." Yun Yi shouted at those people.
Those who captured her looked at each other and looked at Yun Yi with disgust.
"You don't know yet, you framed General Mu's daughter for having a miscarriage, and the emperor has sentenced you to prison."
Yun Yi was a little bit unbelievable. Where was the prince? Why didn’t he come to save him?
I am pregnant with his child.
Yun Yi knew very well that the baby in her belly was a bargaining chip, so how could the prince not be anxious?
She didn’t know that Mu Qingyun couldn’t even save himself, let alone her.
Unfortunately, no one would answer her.
Mu Qinglan, who received the news in the Imperial Hospital, finally felt relieved.
From now on, she never wants to see that person again.
