In addition to Prince Jing and his son, Prince Qi and others also rushed in.

Prince Jing's son Chun'er was the crown prince a few months ago and grew up in the palace. When he saw Emperor Jingming, he was not afraid of him like Fu'er, but felt very close to him.

After meeting Emperor Jingming in a proper manner, Chun Ge'er looked at him with admiration and said crisply, "Grandfather, Chun Ge misses you."

When Emperor Jingming heard this, he almost shed tears.

He didn't know whether these bastard sons who came to see him were really worried about him or just pretending to be worried, but he knew that what Chun Ge'er said was true.

This was originally his most beloved grandson, who had been the crown prince since birth. He had never thought that the position of crown prince would be replaced by someone else...

Emperor Jingming glared at the deposed prince fiercely.

It was all because of this beast that such a good child like Chunger was forced to move out of the palace and live in such a remote place like Jingyuan.

Emperor Jingming ignored his sons and smiled kindly at Chun Ge'er: "Chun Ge'er, come to your grandfather."

Chun Ge'er walked over and looked at Emperor Jingming's face carefully: "Grandfather, I heard that you were ill. I wonder if you are feeling better now?"

Emperor Jingming smiled and said, "Much better."

His face was waxy yellow, and he looked half-hearted and half-false, feeling somewhat guilty in the face of the worried eyes of the child.

"I feel relieved that my royal grandfather is fine." Chun Ge'er said like an adult and took out a paper package and handed it over.

"What is this?"

Chun Ge'er explained seriously, "Osmanthus candy. After taking the medicine, my grandfather held a piece of candy in his mouth and it didn't taste bitter anymore."

Jing Mingdi was immediately touched. He took the sweet-scented osmanthus candy and stroked Chun Ge'er's head: "Chun Ge'er is such a good child."

Prince Jin saw that Emperor Jingming had neglected a large number of princes and was only fond of Chun'er, so he secretly pushed Fu'er.

Fu Ge'er hid even further back.

Prince Jin was anxious and angry, but he could not lose his temper in this situation. He could only watch Chun Ge'er win face for the deposed prince.

The King of Qi was even more jealous.

The third brother's son just doesn't know how to compete for favor, but he doesn't even have a son who would compete for favor.

Thinking of this, the King of Qi hated the King of Jin even more.

"Does Chun'er like Jingyuan?" Emperor Jingming asked this question, feeling quite unhappy.

Chun Ge'er thought for a moment and said, "I like it, and I don't like it either."

"Uh, why is that?"

"Jingyuan is bigger than the East Palace. You can catch sparrows when it snows in winter, and hide from cats everywhere." Chun Ge'er said with bright eyes.

There was no falseness in the look of joy.

Emperor Jingming became more curious: "Then why don't you like it?"

Chun Ge'er suddenly fell silent, and after a while he whispered, "There is no royal grandfather in Jingyuan..."

Emperor Jingming paused, tears welling up in his eyes.

The deposed prince glared at Chun Ge'er and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

After glaring at Chun Ge'er, he said to Emperor Jingming: "Father, Chun Ge'er is a child who doesn't understand things. Please don't pay attention to him."

Emperor Jingming said unhappily: "I think Chun Ge'er is more sensible than you!"

The deposed prince was scolded, and he touched his nose angrily and kept silent.

Prince Jin looked coldly at the love that Emperor Jingming showed to Chun Ge'er, and his heart felt inexplicably heavy.

The deposed prince won't be able to make a comeback by relying on Chun Ge'er, right?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Prince Jin shook his head secretly.

impossible.

Deposing the crown prince is no joke. It is not possible to depose him and reinstate him again.

He is worried too much and thinks too much.

But after Emperor Jingming had not attended court for several days, a memorial suddenly caused a huge uproar.

Some ministers even proposed to reinstate Prince Jingwang's son Chun Ge'er as the crown prince.

This proposal is quite subtle.

Emperor Jingming was in his prime. If he bypassed the crown prince and made the grandson the heir apparent, then a hundred years after Emperor Jingming died, it would be obvious that the grandson would directly succeed to the throne.

It is said that Emperor Jingming stared at the memorial for a long time without saying a word.

As the situation was wavering between Prince Jin and Prince Qi, the ministers who had gradually leaned towards Prince Jin's side were wavering again.

If there is a legitimate heir, the heir should be appointed, if there is no legitimate heir, the eldest son should be appointed. But the prince of Jin, who has the character of "eldest son", is not outstanding himself, and his mother is of humble origin, which is why they are wavering towards the prince of Qi.

If Taisun is reinstated, it seems to be a better option than taking sides between King Jin and King Qi.

Chun Ge'er is the eldest son of Prince Jing, with the blood of the emperor and the empress flowing in his body. Among the emperor's grandsons, there is no one more noble than him.

Moreover, Chun'er has been brought up according to the requirements of the Crown Prince since he was young. His rules, etiquette and even knowledge are unmatched by other royal grandsons. It can even be said that he is far better than his father, Prince Jing.

It seems like a good idea to directly establish the grandson...

Suddenly, the voices calling for Prince Jing to be made the crown prince grew louder.

Ever since this call was made, King Jin, who felt he had it all figured out, had not slept well for several days and wished he could kill the minister who first proposed this suggestion.

But the call has already been made, and it’s useless to kill anyone - King Jin was stunned, and a thought suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Who said killing anyone is useless? What if Prince Jing died?

Just like him and the fourth brother, the fourth brother had originally had the upper hand, but with Princess Qi's miscarriage, he immediately became a defeated general.

Sometimes, a person's life or death can really change the situation at a critical moment. This was the case with Princess Qi's unborn child and even more so with Prince Jing's son.

King Jin, who had already tasted the sweetness, could not resist this temptation.

Killing Prince Jing is a good way to cut off the source of the problem, and it is also a shortcut to success. It is much easier than spending all his energy working hard elsewhere.

Once evil thoughts arise, they quickly ferment into a boundless ocean in the heart.

Prince Jin began to plot secretly.

The front of Prince Qi's mansion had been deserted for some time. Prince Qi sat in the study, smiling and sipping tea.

It looks like the third brother has taken the bait.

The trusted staff flattered: "Your Highness is really amazing. He just sent an anonymous letter to Liu Yushi, reminding him that he could still reinstate the Grandson, but it made the King of Jin lose his composure..."

King Qi smiled and murmured, "It's not that King Jin is impatient, but the temptation is too great..."

That position, when it is within reach, who can remain indifferent?

If it were him, he would probably eliminate the biggest threat without hesitation.

What's more, King Jin has already taken action once, so it doesn't matter if he does it again.

King Qi began to look forward to what King Jin would do.

Chun Ge'er's incident happened in Jingyuan.

In April, Jingyuan was thriving and the scenery was breathtaking, and it happened to be the birthday of the deposed prince.

Because Prince Lu was demoted, Emperor Jingming re-recognized the status of the deposed Crown Prince in his heart. In addition, the call for reinstating Prince Jing as the Crown Prince grew louder, so all the princes came on the deposed Crown Prince's birthday.

Yu Jian made up his mind to follow the crowd, so this kind of occasion naturally also occurred.

Hearing the hurried footsteps and the cries of Prince Jing as he fell into the water, he immediately followed the crowd to the lakeside of Jingyuan.

Chun Ge'er had been pulled up, his eyes were tightly closed and his belly was bulging.

Princess Jing had long lost her dignified demeanor and cried out at the top of her lungs like any mother who had lost her beloved son.
