Chapter 109: Deposed Crown Prince
When the sound outside the hall was heard, everyone trembled slightly.
Although he was kneeling on the ground, his eyes couldn't help but look down towards the outside of the hall.
When Lin Ye heard the words "Princess Zhaohua", his eyes changed slightly.
The look was filled with excitement, complexity, and a hint of relief and joy.
The emperor's expression changed from anger to surprise, and he looked directly at the person who came in.
The moment Princess Zhaohua stepped into the hall, the entire hall seemed to be filled with a faint, cool fragrance.
Today she was wearing a dark palace dress, with a gauze dress of the same color on the outside. The patterns embroidered with gold thread on the sleeves were glittering and colorful. The vermilion necklace looked like a phoenix beak holding a pearl, as if she was wearing the clothes of a black phoenix living in the sky. There was a golden glow hidden between her feathers. There was a breathtaking majesty in her every move, which made people dare not look directly at her.
She folded her hands in front of her and walked towards her with dignity.
And just behind her, Xiao Tingye was also wearing a black official robe, with a Qilin pattern embroidered with gold thread faintly visible.
He has a graceful figure and an imposing bearing, but he is also very sharp.
His handsome face was sharp and cold, especially his eyes that were as deep and bottomless as a cold pool. A single glance from him could send chills down one's spine, as if a sharp knife was pressed against one's throat.
[Perfect match! Ahhhh, I'm going crazy for Yue Ye CP! !]
Did Xiao deliberately go back and change into a couple's outfit? Did he secretly find out what the princess was wearing?
[Handsome men and beautiful women are so pleasing to the eyes, woooooo, and they are both on top, who knows! ]
Is this the CP feeling between a powerful official and a princess? It's too good.
[I'm impressed. The heroine is abused, but the vicious female supporting character and the villain are so prominent? ? ]
[Who is the heroine? My daughter deserves only jail time?]
The two of them entered the hall almost one after the other.
Since the two of them came in, the air pressure in the entire hall has dropped a bit.
But it was like a corner of a steaming pot was lifted, giving everyone a chance to breathe.
"It's Princess Zhaohua..."
"The princess is back..."
"Didn't Princess Zhaohua fall off a cliff?"
"Didn't they say Princess Zhaohua died..."
"Why is Lord Xiao attending court with the princess?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen Master Xiao for several days..."
The ministers were discussing in private.
"Master Xiao and the princess are sworn enemies. When Princess Zhaohua goes to court, Master Xiao must not be absent..."
"That's right, both of them want to kill each other..."
Hearing the ministers' whispered discussions, the emperor's expression became a little strange. He raised his hand to cover his face and coughed lightly.
Lin Zhaoyue stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."
Xiao Tingye also stood beside Lin Zhaoyue, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
However, just as Lin Zhaoyue saluted, she saw subtitles floating before her eyes.
[Hahahaha, they really want to kill each other, but that one hehehehe]
[Hahaha, look at how much I was holding back for my dad, I almost couldn’t help laughing out loud]
[I've already hugged you, but you're still pretending to be unfamiliar with me]
[Hahaha why are you still avoiding suspicion? No, why do I feel it’s even better hahaha]
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly.
What are they talking about?
The emperor looked at Lin Zhaoyue with a somewhat moved expression, and a hint of worry. "Zhaohua, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Everyone knows that Princess Zhaohua was assassinated and fell off a cliff, and she is very likely to have died.
Therefore, the princess's sudden appearance in court today shocked many people.
The emperor has always doted on Princess Zhaohua, so everyone expected him to be so excited.
Lin Zhaoyue nodded slightly and smiled, "It's just a minor skin injury, nothing serious."
Xiao Tingye also bowed, "Your Majesty, I have been ill for the past few days, so I am late for court. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."
The emperor glanced at him, knowing full well what was going on, and nodded, "My dear Xiao, it's understandable that you've been working so hard for state affairs. You should take care of your health in the future."
Xiao Tingye lowered his eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will keep it in mind."
He then flicked his sleeves and stood at the head of the officials.
When he stepped into his seat, he stood there respectfully, but his eyes fell on Lin Zhaoyue for a moment.
Coincidentally, Lin Zhaoyue also glanced at him, and their eyes met.
He raised an eyebrow.
Lin Zhaoyue looked away calmly.
As soon as she reached the palace gate, she ran into Xiao Tingye.
He seemed to have anticipated his arrival and was waiting at the palace gate in advance.
And the color of the clothes he was wearing was the same as mine.
She immediately felt something was wrong.
But I can't always go home to change clothes.
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at Lin Ye who was kneeling on the ground, and Lin Ye's eyes were also fixed on her.
He seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and murmured, "Eldest sister..."
This time, the way she called me "elder sister" was no different from before.
At this moment, Lin Ye's emotions, which had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, were revealed again when he saw her.
The feelings that dare not see the light of day...the feelings that have always been hidden deep in my heart...
At this time, it was like a river flowing backwards, surging back again.
[Princess, don’t forgive him, and don’t let him go]
[Don't yell at me, ungrateful person. If you are worthy, then yell.]
[Princess, he is threatening your father]
[Princess, let me tell you, they were secretly teasing you in prison! Chu Yinyin has completely brainwashed him. This kid is hopeless.]
[Did the heroine say something wrong? Are you just blindly defending the supporting actress? Are your values dictated by your appearance?]
【Xiaosan fans shut up】
Lin Zhaoyue simply glanced coldly at the kneeling Lin Ye, and then said, "I just heard outside the palace that the Crown Prince is requesting to be deposed."
Her voice was neither hurried nor loud, but every word could reach the ears of everyone present.
The emperor's voice also turned cold: "Not bad."
Lin Zhaoyue glanced at the officials in the hall and asked, "Do all the officials in the court agree with this?"
Xiao Tingye put his hands in his sleeves, looking nonchalant and calm. But he heard every word she said clearly.
A hint of joy appeared in Lin Ye's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little.
It turns out that the eldest sister still cares about him.
Even though she didn't admit it, she clearly cared about it in her heart.
She admitted it in front of Yinyin.
Yinyin was imprisoned and suffered because she cared about herself too much and didn't want Yinyin to drag her down.
So, she will definitely compromise for her own sake.
After all, she cared most about his position as crown prince.
How could she allow all her years of hard work to go to waste?
She wanted to control me and make me a puppet in her hands, so how could I let myself escape from her control?
I'm afraid she thought I was joking before and deliberately said that I didn't want to be the crown prince.
This time, he was serious.
As long as she still cares about herself, as long as she still cares about her position as crown prince.
She will definitely persuade her father.
He would also scold those officials who were so blind as to want to dethrone him from the throne of Crown Prince!
Chu Yinyin's words and Lin Zhaoyue's words last time gave him confidence.
It made him believe that his elder sister cared about him.
Lin Ye kept looking at Lin Zhaoyue, thinking that he could get some emotional feedback from her face, but there was no emotion on her face.
There's not even any disappointment, anger, or anything like that...
At this moment, he suddenly became a little panicked.
The emperor didn't say anything, but his face was tense and he was very angry.
Lin Zhaoyue calmly withdrew her gaze, raised her hands in a salute, and spoke word by word, "Your Majesty, since all the officials agree to dethrone the Crown Prince, it is clear that the Crown Prince's moral character is flawed and he has lost the support of the ministers. Without the support of the officials, how can he shoulder the heavy responsibility of the ancestral temple? The Crown Prince has lost his manners and morals for a woman, and his ugly behavior has spread throughout the streets, making him a laughingstock of the people. How can he maintain the trust of the people?"
"Since the Crown Prince has requested to be deposed, he must have realized that he is unfit to be the Crown Prince. I hope that Your Majesty will understand the will of Heaven and the people and grant his request, deposing the Crown Prince to ensure the safety of the country!"
