Although Duan Rongyin was not seriously injured, his actions just now deeply moved Emperor Yan and the Empress.
I am still very scared and have lingering fears.
If something really happened to Duan Rongyin today, they would be heartbroken.
Duan Rongyin was deeply moved by his father and mother's concern for him, and tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "I made a grave mistake in the past and have been imprisoned for the past few years. Only now do I realize how foolish I was. I have hurt my father and mother's hearts and disappointed them."
"I never thought I would have the opportunity to serve my father, the emperor, and my mother today. Even if I die, it would be worth it."
The queen cried uncontrollably.
"Son...are you trying to kill me?"
"If anything happens to you, your mother will follow you..."
Emperor Yan nodded repeatedly, his eyes red as he said, "Yin'er, your father is very pleased to see you being so filial today."
In contrast, Prince Yun disappeared without a trace at this time!
Princess Yun looked anxious and asked people to go find her quickly.
Emperor Yan: "Oh, this rebellious son! On his birthday, he disappeared."
"He doesn't even look like a prince after all!?"
"There are guests all over the mansion, even me and his mother are still here. Such a big thing has happened, and he hasn't come out yet. What on earth has he been doing?!"
"Today, this Lotus Cultist has sneaked into Prince Yun's mansion and even attempted to assassinate me. Could it be that he really has nothing to do with me?"
When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die.
Everyone in Prince Yun's mansion, and even all the guests over the past few days, fell to their knees on the ground and dared not look up when they heard Emperor Yan's anger.
Prince Yun's Mansion is probably finished...
Emperor Yan's beard was shaking with anger, especially because Duan Rongyin was injured, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He immediately decided to go and see for himself what good things this good-for-nothing Duan Rongxuan was doing.
However, Emperor Yan wanted to look for his son personally, so all the guests in the mansion could only wander around Prince Yun's mansion.
Unfortunately, Princess Yun was unable to find Prince Yun Duan Rongxuan immediately.
But the people brought by the queen were the first to come over.
When the queen saw what was happening in the house, how could she not understand?
She immediately rushed in with a look of dissatisfaction and slapped Duan Rongxuan in the face.
"You bastard! Do you know what just happened between your father and your brother?!"
"Right here in your house, someone from your house actually dared to assassinate your father."
"You don't even know where the Lotus Sect's traitors are hiding. How foolish!"
"Your brother entertained the guests for you and was seriously injured while protecting your father. Don't you have anything to say?"
"You disappoint me so much!"
"Useless thing!"
Duan Rongshi was unable to react to the Queen's constant scolding and reproach.
It was not until he saw Emperor Yan coming over angrily and Duan Rongyin with gauze on his arm that Duan Rongxuan's face turned completely blank.
"I, I know nothing... Father, Mother, I really didn't do anything..."
"Son, I don't know what's going on..."
"Mother, please save me, please save me—"
He would never be like this on a normal day, and he had no recollection of what had happened.
Even if he had been drinking, he would never dare to do such a rebellious thing as abandoning his father and mother just because of a little alcohol!
However, Emperor Yan no longer wanted to hear his explanation.
His eyes were as cold and sharp as if they were icy.
"The Fourth Prince, Prince Duan Rongshi, was unfilial and immoral, failing to detect the assassin hidden within his palace who intended to harm our Emperor. From today on, he will be stripped of his title of Prince and remain the Fourth Prince..."
From then on, Duan Rongxuan was just the Fourth Prince.
No longer Prince Yun.
Duan Rongyin, for his meritorious service in protecting the emperor, was restored to his Crown Prince status on the spot by Emperor Yan and ordered to move back to the Eastern Palace from that day onwards...
Rise one day, fall the next.
Prince Yun watched Emperor Yan and the Queen leave mercilessly with Duan Rongyin.
All the guests in the mansion dispersed in an instant...
"Miss, I heard that Prince Yun, no, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, sat alone in his room until dawn after the guests left yesterday."
"The Fourth Prince's wife was afraid he was dead, so she went to see him several times."
"They said he was probably possessed by a demon, and they worried he wouldn't be able to handle it and would go mad. So they went to seek help from the imperial physician today, but there's been no movement from the palace, and the queen hasn't shown up yet."
Li Qingluo instantly understood a lot of things in his mind.
"So, could it be that the son the Queen truly wants to support has actually... been the deposed Crown Prince all along...?"
