Chapter 1171 The Prince's Rebellion

I think he had his reasons for choosing to expose this matter today.

Moreover, given Wanwan's personality, if I insist on keeping it secret today, I will never be able to feel at ease in the future.

Having made up his mind, Prince Yu nodded slightly to Lu Jingming standing beside him, with a look of gratitude in his eyes.

"Wanwan."

But as soon as Prince Yu said this, Lu Xingwan shook her head gently. She looked firmly at her second brother in front of her and said, "Don't worry, second brother. I will never blame my father."

This is, of course, false.

The father in the story was a wise and brave emperor. Although he did not live long, he always handled state affairs very well.

But I didn’t expect that now that I’m old, I’ve become confused.

But she knew what her second brother was worried about, so in order to reassure him, she could only say this.

"Don't worry, second brother. I know that my father is the emperor and he has his own plans for what he does. Second brother, just tell me the truth of the matter."

Looking at Wanwan's sensible appearance, Prince Yu felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Even more caring.

Ever since Wanwan was born in the great Chu State, there has been almost no peace in the harem.

It can be said that it has been a bumpy road, but fortunately, the ending is good.

However, during the seven or eight years when the Chu royal family was most stable, Wanwan was wandering outside and never stayed in the palace.

Now that I have finally returned, I encounter this kind of thing again.

Thinking of this, Prince Yu raised his head slightly, sighed, and then spoke: "Father said that the crown prince is plotting a rebellion."

After Lu Xingwan returned this time, perhaps because his status as the Crown Prince had changed, everyone's way of addressing him was less affectionate than before.

Most of them changed from addressing him as "Brother Prince" to addressing him as "Your Highness the Prince".

Now, the second elder brother suddenly called him "Brother Crown Prince" so intimately, as if time had been brought back ten years ago.

Ten years ago, it seemed like everyone was carefree.

At that time, the Crown Prince did not have so many burdens on his shoulders, and he would not have to endure such suspicion from his father for no reason.

In fact, everyone else in this hall knows about this.

They were just worried that Wanwan might not be able to accept it for a while.

So after Prince Yu said this, everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of Lu Xingwan.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingwan was unusually calm.

Lu Xingwan's calmness even made them a little scared.

The prince is plotting rebellion. How could the prince plot rebellion?

In the eyes of everyone, including the ministers in the court, the prince is in his prime, and now he has the intelligent and clever eldest grandson of the emperor, Lu Yuanjing.

Not only Lu Yuanjing, but also the younger brothers behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, including Prince Yu and the Fourth Prince, all of them acted prudently.

The most important thing is that they all respect the prince.

Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that as long as the crown prince acted steadily and waited patiently, the crown prince would be able to ascend the throne without any suspense when the emperor of Great Chu abdicated in accordance with the ancestral system.

There was really no need for him to take the risk of rebelling at this time.

Lu Xingwan gradually understood the meaning of everyone's words.

My father must have had a sudden attack during the morning court today.

After running the business for so many years, the prince actually holds some real power in his hands.

Nowadays, the power in the court is intertwined, and with the importance the Emperor of Great Chu attaches to the crown prince, it can be said that the crown prince has the support of hundreds of people in the court.

Not only these brothers, but even these court ministers did not expect that the Emperor of Great Chu would suddenly attack during the morning court session.

They were going to arrest the prince immediately.

The incident happened suddenly and everyone was shocked.

But everyone knows the prince. They all know that the prince is an upright person and is loyal to Your Majesty, and has never had any intention of being disloyal.

So everyone stepped forward and pleaded for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

However, the Emperor of Great Chu was still furious, and when he saw someone pleading for the prince, he immediately punished two important officials who had pleaded for the prince without saying a word.

The intention of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is obvious.

For a moment, no one dared to say anything more.

They knew that His Majesty was angry.

It’s not that they are afraid of anything, but if they all follow suit, the affairs of the court will be affected.

Even if they wanted to vindicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, they would be powerless to save the situation if His Majesty really disliked him.

The prince has always been a man of noble character. In order to prevent this disaster from implicated more innocent people, although he did not know why his father suddenly did this, he still stood up and confessed his guilt frankly.

When this happened, Prince Yu was in the court.

Although this incident happened only three to five hours ago, for Prince Yu, it was as if he had experienced a turmoil.

Apart from considering how to save the Crown Prince from the dire situation, all that kept recurring in his mind the entire day was the look his father gave his brother the Crown Prince.

That look was filled with disgust.

Whenever he thought of his father's expression, he felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, making him feel cold from the soles of his feet.

He knew that the hearts of people in the palace were unpredictable, but ever since his brother the Crown Prince came to power, Prince Yu had actually been living a very comfortable life in the palace.

He thought that things might continue like this, but unexpectedly, his father dealt them a fatal blow.

Until this moment, he was still thinking that perhaps his father was just temporarily misled by others.

Father will definitely give justice to my brother, the Crown Prince.

But Lu Xingwan was not as optimistic as Prince Yu.

The contents she had read in the storybook began to emerge in her mind.

At that time, my father was also influenced by others, so he put the crown prince in confinement.

I didn't expect that I have been in this storybook for more than ten years. Now that the direction of the Great Chu Kingdom has undergone such a big change, I still let my father do the things he did before.

The Crown Prince was punished by our father just as before.

Lu Xingwan seemed to suddenly wake up.

She originally thought that it was her appearance and her guidance that caused the content of the story to change.

However, even though one can guide things, one may not be able to guide people's hearts.

She also thought that it was because her mother survived that so many things changed.

But......

Lu Xingwan felt her mind was in a mess. She shook her head, trying to drive these emotions out of her mind.

Everyone stayed in Qingyun Palace just to discuss a way to rescue the prince from the torture chamber in time.

But in the end, there was no solution.
