The fact that Sheng Jingyu wasn't blind completely shattered Sheng Yuanhe's rationality.
Even when he was blind, he had already fallen into such a state. If he hadn't gone blind and had the support of the ministers, he would have had no chance of winning!
Sheng Yuanhe was heartbroken and could not believe it.
The Emperor slowly rose, equally shocked. Could it be that Sheng Jingyu had been faking it all these years?
How could the emperor trust someone who could endure so much for so many years?
Moreover, Sheng Jingyu is even wary of him. His scheming is so deep. Could it be that he knows about what happened back then?
This unexpected turn of events left everyone completely baffled.
Everyone observed Sheng Jingyu carefully and found that he did not seem to be able to see. Moreover, if he really could see, why didn't he say so?
He was a prince, and there was no benefit in hiding this matter.
Grand Tutor Yan questioned, "Is His Highness the Crown Prince feigning madness?"
Sheng Yuanhe struggled to his feet, laughing almost maniacally, "No wonder you're willing to help him. His eyes are fine; the throne will be his in the future!"
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words! His Majesty is in his prime and should not speak recklessly."
"His Highness Prince Chen has been blind for many years. What is the Crown Prince trying to do by saying such things now?"
"It seems the Crown Prince cannot explain these matters. I implore Your Majesty to seek justice for the two unjustly executed prefects and clear their names."
Sheng Yuanhe's mood had already been bad these days, and today Sheng Jingyu produced so much evidence that he was about to go crazy.
Now that it has been discovered that Sheng Jingyu is not blind, Sheng Yuanhe can no longer hold back.
He kept shouting that Sheng Jingyu wasn't blind, trying to convince everyone to believe him, but all they could see was him going crazy.
The Emperor originally intended to investigate first before making a decision, but Sheng Yuanhe committed a crime in public and is now acting so erratically.
All these things combined mean it would be unreasonable not to deal with him.
Ultimately, he was stripped of his title as crown prince and confined to his residence.
The embezzlement and bribery issues still need to be investigated further. A decision will be made after the investigation is fully completed.
Sheng Yuanhe has truly gone mad. Even though his position as crown prince has been revoked, he is still shouting that he is not blind.
It seems this matter is more important than his position as crown prince.
The Emperor was in a complicated mood and had no interest in paying attention to Sheng Yuanhe. Others did not believe what Sheng Yuanhe said, but he did.
He sat high above, and every detail below him was laid bare.
At that moment, Sheng Jingyu did have something in his eyes.
After the court session ended, sure enough, no one talked about Marquis Anle anymore; they started talking about Sheng Yuanhe going mad...
The dethronement of the crown prince was news that shocked everyone.
Upon hearing this, Consort Wan fainted on the spot, and several imperial physicians were dispatched to her.
Although the Empress was pleased, she also heard about Sheng Yuanhe's erratic remarks.
He said... Sheng Jingyu isn't blind?
Granny Cheng, pale-faced, nodded with difficulty and replied, "Yes, the Crown Prince... no, the Sixth Prince, in front of all the ministers, went crazy and said that Prince Chen was not blind."
"The Sixth Prince spoke with absolute certainty, claiming he saw it, but no one believed him. They all thought he was crazy. How could this be possible?"
Everyone felt that it wouldn't do Sheng Jingyu any good to hide this matter; if he really could have seen it, he should have said so earlier!
If he had been named Crown Prince earlier, he would have had more supporters in the court.
Granny Cheng didn't believe it because she had personally arranged it. At the time, the imperial physicians said he was blind, and there was no antidote for that kind of poison.
The empress slumped into a chair, her consciousness fading, and she nearly fainted.
Granny Cheng quickly stepped forward to support her and comforted her, saying, "Your Highness, please don't be anxious. Everyone thinks it's impossible, and I think so too. Perhaps the Sixth Prince has gone mad."
The Empress gradually came to her senses and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty... what was Your Majesty's reaction?"
Granny Cheng said, "The Emperor's reaction was strange. He was surprised, indifferent... and finally looked preoccupied. But there are many things to do today, so we can't believe all the news that comes out."
Everyone was busy processing the news of the deposed crown prince and Sheng Yuanhe's madness, and had no time to pay attention to the emperor.
No one believed the story about Sheng Jingyu's eyes, not even the Empress, but she couldn't help but have her doubts.
The news spread quickly; before Sheng Jingyu even returned to the Prince Chen's residence, Su Wenyuan already knew about it.
The crown prince being deposed is definitely good news; it's even better if he goes mad, as he'll never have a chance to rise again.
But has Sheng Jingyu been exposed?
Su Wenyuan waited anxiously for his return, unable to sit still, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
Finally, Sheng Jingyu arrived, and Su Wenyuan rushed over to ask him if he was injured.
“Sheng Yuanhe actually committed a crime in front of Father Emperor. Are you injured?” Su Wenyuan asked anxiously as she checked his body.
Sheng Jingyu obediently turned around, then turned back, shaking his head and smiling, "I'm not injured."
Ye Shan whispered a reminder from behind, "There are a few more eyes watching nearby. Your Highness and Your Highness should go inside first."
"Ignore those who come to gather information," Sheng Jingyu instructed.
Back at Zhuyue Pavilion, Su Wenyuan was still worried, so she asked Meng Qi to check outside the courtyard to see if there were any outsiders or servants with ill intentions.
Then send someone to invite Hua Ling back so she can take Sheng Jingyu's pulse.
Sheng Jingyu chuckled and said, "I'm fine, and I'm not injured, so why would I need him to take my pulse?"
"How can you say you're alright? What if you were scared? We'd have to make you some calming soup." Su Wenyuan got angrier and angrier as she spoke, stood up abruptly, paused for a moment, and then sat back down weakly.
Getting angry won't help; there's nothing she can do about it.
"Worry about me!" Sheng Jingyu's almost certain tone carried a hint of pride.
Su Wenyuan rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Even if I'm worried about you, you don't need to react like this. What's so smug about it?"
Sheng Jingyu laughed and said, "It's not easy for someone to worry about me, and they won't even let me be happy."
"You heartless bastard, I came all this way for nothing!" Hua Ling stormed in through gritted teeth, stopped in front of the table, and was slightly out of breath.
He hadn't been back for the past few days, but upon hearing the news today, he rushed back on his own without Su Wenyuan even needing to look for him.
As I walked to the door, I heard Sheng Jingyu playing the victim.
Of all the people in the world, only Su Wenyuan's worries were truly valuable. His worries were nothing to Sheng Jingyu, who didn't take them to heart at all.
She even complained that his return was interfering with their romance.
You could tell from Sheng Jingyu's eyes that he didn't welcome you.
Su Wenyuan said, "It's good that you're back. Take a look at him. He hasn't been sleeping well these past few days. Check how he's feeling."
While taking her pulse, Hua Ling said sarcastically, "It's my fault for coming back at the wrong time, but I can't just come back empty-handed. Although I'm not well-liked, my medical skills are passable..."
Hua Ling's mouth is so gossipy, Sheng Jingyu even considered poisoning him to make him mute!
"He's in great health!" Hua Ling immediately packed up her stall.
Su Wenyuan frowned and said, "Be serious, he was just frightened. Do you think we should get him some calming medicine?"
"What are you talking about? You're frightened? Don't you think that's absurd?" Hua Ling reached out, wanting to take Su Wenyuan's pulse.
