Chapter 97 Abolition
Imperial edict?
How could there be an imperial edict at this time?
Why would His Majesty think of coming to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion for no reason?
Everyone looked confused.
Xie Changning curled her lips into a smile. She finally came. She straightened her dress and strode forward calmly.
For some reason, Shen Zhixu's heart skipped a beat when he saw her like this.
Qin Kaiji and Wu's faces darkened slightly, and a bad premonition flashed through both of their minds.
Everyone knelt down to receive the order.
The one who came to announce the decree was Eunuch Wang. He cleared his throat and looked down at the crowd, "I, Emperor Tian Chengyun, decree that the son of Marquis Jing'an, Shen Zhixu, is disobedient and unfilial, lacking in moral integrity, and a traitor. He is unworthy of the important responsibility of the Marquisate, and his title of Crown Prince is hereby abolished!"
Eunuch Wang's sharp voice exploded in Shen Zhixu's ears like thunder.
His pupils trembled violently, and for a moment he felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
Even though he was kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion, he never felt the slightest bit of panic in his heart, because he knew that as long as he was still the Marquis of Jing'an, everything in the Marquis' Mansion would be his sooner or later.
Even Xie Changning couldn't do anything to him.
That's why he dared to take up his post in the Imperial Stables.
Because he knew clearly, what deputy envoy?
It's all just temporary.
As long as the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion are there, it won't take long for him to climb up.
Now his dream has been shattered, dealing him a heavy blow.
No!
To be more precise, it was a fatal blow.
Not long after he was born, he was made the crown prince. The title of Crown Prince of Jing'an had been with him for more than twenty years!
But now he was suddenly told that from now on he was no longer the prince of the marquisate.
How could he accept this?
Even more shocked than him were Qin Kaiji and Wu.
Seeing that the Marquis' Mansion would soon belong to Zhixu, they had even thought about the various benefits that would come after Zhixu inherited the title.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually issued an edict to abolish Zhixu's position as the crown prince!
He even used words like disobedience, unfilial piety, and treason...
Even if Zhixu is talented and knowledgeable, who would dare to use him in the future?
Could it be that Zhixu can only be an insignificant deputy envoy in the Imperial Stables for the rest of his life?
No! ! !
Their order of knowledge should not be like this.
Xie Changning curled her lips and glanced at Shen Zhixu, a cold light flashing in her eyes, full of undisguised sarcasm.
The Marquis of Jing’an???
If Shen Zhixu wants to rely on this identity to show off in front of her, it depends on whether she agrees or not!
Shen Zhiyan, Shen Zhizhou, and Shen Jingshu were all equally shocked.
Shen Jingshu was just surprised. This was probably done by her mother!
Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou were shocked, but they couldn't help but have other thoughts in their mind.
Their grandmother taught them since they were young that the throne of the crown prince belonged to their eldest brother, and that they should do their utmost to help their eldest brother in the future. Brothers working together can achieve great things, and they must not have any other thoughts.
But now... my eldest brother is no longer the prince of the marquisate.
Then wouldn’t the position of the crown prince be vacant?
Someone has to inherit the Marquis's Mansion.
Who will be the next crown prince?
In this case, does this mean that they also have a chance to compete?
Shen Zhixu stood there in a daze. His mind was blank and he was completely unable to think.
Seeing him standing there motionless, Eunuch Wang frowned, "Master Shen?"
Shen Zhixu still hadn't come back to his senses. Shen Zhiyan beside him quickly reached out and tugged at Shen Zhixu's sleeve.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhixu still didn't react at all.
Eunuch Wang immediately snorted coldly, "Could it be that Master Shen wants to disobey the order?"
Shen Zhixu shuddered, and then he reacted.
Disobey the order?
Does he dare?
"Your humble servant accepts the order!" He used these four words, and with trembling hands he took the bright yellow imperial edict. An indescribable bitterness spread in his heart.
Qin Kaiji glanced at Xie Changning coldly. No wonder she looked so calm just now. She must have been waiting for them here for a long time.
Only she has the qualifications to petition His Majesty to abolish Zhixu's title of Crown Prince!!!
He will never let this vicious woman go.
Wu's heart was trembling. What should she do after knowing the secret?
"Your Majesty is wise. How can such a disobedient and unfilial person be worthy of inheriting the Marquisate?" As soon as Eunuch Wang left, Xu covered her face and laughed out loud. She glanced at Shen Zhixu coldly, "Oh, you're still the Marquis of Jing'an's son? Pah! Now you've been so happy that you've turned to sorrow! Let's see how you can continue to regard yourself as the prince in the future?"
"You..." Shen Zhixu's eyes were bloodshot, veins on his forehead were exposed, and he glared at Xu fiercely.
"Now it seems that I don't have to be divorced, and I don't have to go to Zhuangzi anymore." Xie Changning gave Shen Zhixu a mocking look. They went to so much trouble, didn't they just want the Marquis' Mansion?
She wouldn't let them succeed!
What could be more satisfying than suddenly suffering a crushing defeat when they think they have victory?
"Zhizhou, come here." Xie Changning sat in the main seat and waved to Zhizhou Shen.
Shen Zhizhou instantly became extremely excited. Could it be that his mother was planning to let him inherit the Marquis' Mansion?
It's possible.
After all, the eldest brother is like this now, and the second brother also stabbed the mother in the back today.
With my mother's temper, she will definitely not forgive them.
Now he is the only one left.
"Please forgive me, mother. I said those words just now because I was deceived. I have never been unfilial to my grandmother, and I have never forced my second brother." Shen Zhizhou knelt in front of Xie Changning with a plop.
He looked at Xie Changning with admiration, "In my heart, mother has always been a qualified mother."
"Good boy!" Perhaps because she was too pleased, her eyes were slightly red, and she reached out and gently patted Shen Zhizhou's shoulder, "Mother knows that you are a good person, in the future..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Zhiyan glanced at Shen Zhixu and quickly made his decision. "Mother, it was my fault. I never forced my son to marry Lian Yu. The child in Lian Yu's belly is also my child. I was bewitched by my elder brother and did this foolish thing. I beg you to forgive me. I will definitely listen to you in everything from now on."
