Boom——

A flash of lightning tore through the night sky, the thunder roared terrifyingly, and the pouring rain was like a flood that broke through a dam.

In the imperial study.

The emperor sat behind the dragon desk, holding a brush in his hand, and kept reviewing memorials. Lightning illuminated the profile of his face. He pursed his lips tightly and had a stern face, exuding a terrifying hostility.

The review process is getting faster and faster.

Writing faster and faster.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish, swish, swish!

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, threw away his brush, grabbed the edge of the table with both hands, roared, and overturned it!

BANG!!

A group of eunuchs were so frightened that their legs went limp and they knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

.

It rained all night and cleared up at dawn.

Early morning.

In the Dacheng Hall, all the civil and military officials stood in neat rows at their respective seats. The emperor walked over with a gloomy face. After the ceremony, he still sat there without saying a word.

The officials felt something was not right.

The eunuch Defu carefully glanced at his face, and after two or three seconds, he took two steps forward and said loudly:

"The Emperor's decree!"

All officials knelt down.

Defu took the bright yellow scroll from the tray and slowly opened it. When he saw the contents, he was shocked for a few seconds before reading:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The Crown Prince is ill and unable to assume the position of Crown Prince. I will order a replacement to be chosen at a later date, and allow him to recuperate in the palace for three years, and to return to court after he recovers."

"So ordered!"

hiss--

When the imperial edict came down, everyone in the Dacheng Hall, including officials and palace servants, all opened their eyes wide, unable to believe what they heard.

The Emperor deposed the Crown Prince?!

What's going on?

Everything was fine yesterday, how come such a drastic change happened overnight?

Everyone was shocked, and after they realized what was happening, they immediately started discussing in low voices:

"Your Highness has always been in good health, how could he suddenly become unwell? This must be an excuse."

"Without any signs or indications, the Crown Prince was suddenly deposed? This shouldn't be possible, right?"

"It was fine yesterday..."

"Did something happen last night that no one knows about?"

"No way? It rained heavily last night, what could have happened? Why on earth…"

No one believed that the prince was in poor health. There must be another reason, but no one knew what it was.

Everyone was discussing the matter.

.

Go down to court.

Imperial Garden.

Qin Ye entered the palace at the order of the emperor. When he reached the outside of the imperial garden, he saw a bright yellow figure sitting there from a distance. The figure was upright and straight. At first glance, one could feel that the figure was very serious and formal, which made one dare not be careless.

She pursed her lips and got a rough idea in her mind.

On the way to the palace, the news of the dethronement of the crown prince had spread throughout the imperial capital.

The people speculated about the reason and there were many different opinions.

She straightened her mind, raised her head, and walked in:

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor." She lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, knelt down, lowered her head, and looked at the Emperor's bright yellow clothes hanging on the ground.

After two or three seconds, there was no response from the emperor.

On the contrary, she noticed that the emperor's gaze was always on her, staring at her motionlessly, as if he was thinking about something.

She knelt there gracefully, having done nothing wrong, and allowed herself to be looked at.

About ten seconds passed...

The emperor's voice finally rang out: "Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

Qin Ye stood up and stood beside the stone table.

The emperor raised his hand, pressed his fingers on a letter on the table, and slowly pushed it forward a dozen centimeters. He looked at Qin Ye and asked:

"What is your relationship with Jing Yi from the Rich Clinic?"
