Chapter 628
Taking the wine cup from the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince drank it all in one gulp before beginning to talk about what had happened that day.
The Crown Prince knew that at such a critical time, there must be many people secretly watching him. No matter how low he tried to keep a low profile, he was still taking a risk. But what surprised him even more was that his former confidants were now treating him in a similar way to Zheng Yi.
They all looked hesitant and indecisive, and no matter what he said, they seemed to have some concerns.
The Crown Princess felt heartbroken just hearing about it.
The Crown Prince, as the heir apparent of the country, has always been in a position of great prestige. When has he ever looked like this?
Being repeatedly rejected is something that most people would find unbearable, let alone a proud prince.
But even his trusted confidants are wavering. Just how serious is this?
The Crown Princess grew increasingly uneasy.
Meeting the Crown Princess's gaze, the Crown Prince comforted her, saying, "My dear consort, don't worry, it's nothing serious. I have other ways to deal with it."
Now he's visiting them one by one, but it's really just a gesture.
But if a low-profile approach doesn't work, he has even tougher methods at his disposal.
After all, who hasn't made mistakes after serving in office for so many years?
The higher a person's position, the more important their every move is, and the more fatal the mistakes they make can be.
Since death is inevitable anyway, if you take the blame for him, he can protect the rest of the family. If not, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes.
When he looked up again, his eyes were calm.
Seeing this, the Crown Princess felt relieved and said, "I'll have a couple more drinks with Your Highness."
The Crown Prince frowned slightly: "Nonsense, although you are feeling a little better now, you still cannot drink alcohol."
Seeing the Crown Princess looking at him with a wronged expression, the Crown Prince's heart softened suddenly: "We'll drink again when you're better. I'll drink as much as you want then, okay?"
Hearing this, the Crown Princess smiled and nodded.
The prince's gaze softened, and he put the wine cup aside: "I won't drink anymore. I'll have someone prepare a few more light dishes, and we can eat together."
The Crown Princess nodded with a smile.
The previously tense atmosphere in the Eastern Palace was completely relieved, and the servants breathed a sigh of relief and went out to deliver the message according to the Crown Prince's orders.
"It has to be the Crown Princess, otherwise we might not know what would have happened to us today."
The other person nodded in agreement: "I think so too."
"Ah, if I could meet someone like His Highness the Crown Prince in my lifetime, I would die happy!"
The man couldn't help but laugh: "If you want to encounter someone like that, you'd have to risk half your life first!"
——
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and after the storm, Luoyang City became eerily quiet.
There was no news even from the palace about the outcome of the Crown Prince's punishment.
It's as if that matter has simply passed.
However, no one dared to really relax.
The Crown Prince has been busy these past few days as well.
The Thunder Wristband is really useful.
People who were previously hesitant are now vying to show their loyalty.
The moment the confession was handed over, the tide turned.
The Prince's Palace in Yunnan.
"The Chamberlain said that he stole the Crown Prince's seal while he was talking to the Crown Prince at the Eastern Palace and orchestrated the whole thing."
"According to him, it was because the Crown Prince was too kind and compassionate, and because the eldest prince was his own brother, he could not bring himself to do it. The Attendant-in-Ordinary was eager to protect his master, so he did this behind the Crown Prince's back."
"Now that the blame is being directed at the Crown Prince, the Attendant-in-Ordinary had no choice but to step forward and take the blame."
As the servants recounted the day's events, Huo Yue and Huo Shu exchanged a glance and both let out a cold laugh.
