Emperor Yuanwu was so angry that he tore the picture album to shreds.
Inside the secret chamber, there were also many imperial items used by the palace.
It seems to be about the dragon robe.
It wasn't just a whim of Mu Junyao.
Rather, it was something he and Lai Shanzi had been planning for a long time.
Perhaps it was because of this incident that Lai Shanzi moved from another place to settle in the capital.
In the evening, Emperor Yuanwu went to the Prince's residence alone.
Mu Junyao sat alone in his room, feeling restless.
The sound of a door opening came from the doorway.
Mu Junyao hurriedly quickened his pace and walked over.
The instant I saw who it was.
Mu Junyao's eyes trembled, and he immediately knelt down on the ground: "Father Emperor."
The secret chamber of Lingyu Pavilion was specially built by craftsmen he commissioned.
It would normally go undetected.
This is also why Lai Shanzi was not discovered despite being arrested for so long and searched so many times.
When Emperor Yuanwu overheard Lai Shanzi's conversation in the prison, a sliver of hope still lingered in his heart.
If the people sent by Emperor Yuanwu failed to find that secret room.
He could simply insist that it was all Lai Shanzi's nonsense, a deliberate attempt to frame him.
He knew nothing about any of it.
Since Lai Shanzi is already dead, he can pin all the blame on Lai Shanzi.
"Father..." Mu Junyao moved his lips, but only managed to utter two words.
Emperor Yuanwu raised his hand and slapped him, making his vision go black and his ears ring.
He was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale, making the slap mark even more obvious.
"Making dragon robes privately? I never realized you had this in mind?" Emperor Yuanwu shook his head with a smile.
Emperor Wu of Yuan said this.
That is...
Found it!
Has the secret room been found?
Mu Junyao's heart trembled: "Father, please let me explain, I can explain anything."
"Don't call me Father Emperor anymore, I will never be your Father Emperor again!" Emperor Yuanwu's eyes flashed coldly: "I have already issued an edict to demote you to a commoner and to exterminate Lai Shanzi's entire clan."
"Father, no, Father! I know I was wrong, please forgive me! Do you really not want me anymore?" Mu Junyao cried.
"I am not your father, and from now on, you are no longer my son." Emperor Yuanwu left these words behind and departed from the Prince's Palace without looking back.
Mu Junyao slumped to the ground like a lump of mud, his eyes blurred with tears as he watched Emperor Yuanwu's departing figure.
It took him a while to come to his senses. He looked up at Wu Jixiang and asked, "Eunuch Jixiang, does Father really not want me anymore?"
Wu Jixiang sighed helplessly: "Your Highness, you are confused. You are the Emperor's first son. Regardless of whether you will inherit the throne or not, you will always be the most honorable prince. Why do you have to be so pessimistic?"
"That yellow robe was poisoned. If the emperor had opened it himself, the outcome would have been dire. He spared your life only because of our father-son relationship."
"Your Highness should pack your bags and leave the palace as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble."
Mu Junyao slowly got up from the ground.
He nearly fell to the ground as everything went black.
The governess standing beside him hurriedly reached out to support him: "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Mu Junyao stared at the governess for a moment, then kicked her to the ground: "The eldest prince? Heh, eldest prince, are you deaf? Didn't you hear Father Emperor just say he doesn't want me anymore? Why are you still calling me the eldest prince?"
