"This matter will naturally be dropped for now. You will still be the crown prince from now on."
"I will pretend this never happened."
"What do you say, Prince?"
The prince quickly lowered his head, his whole face full of disappointment.
"Yes, yes... Thank you, Father, for your grace."
The King of Chu flicked his sleeves and shouted, "Go to court!"
The Emperor of Chu had not attended court properly for many years.
As soon as I came back today, I had to go to court.
Such an unprecedented move frightened all the civil and military officials waiting outside the palace gate.
But strangely, when the Emperor of Chu returned, he did not hold anyone accountable.
It was as if his abduction from the palace had never happened.
The prince had only worn the dragon robe for one day before he had to take it off again and stand back under the throne, becoming the prince again.
All the ministers in the court looked at him with a hint of pity.
How could there be such an unlucky emperor in this world?
After only one day, he was hastily fired.
He is truly unprecedented and unparalleled.
Not only is it pitiful, it's also quite humiliating.
However, facing the particularly majestic Emperor of Chu today, none of the ministers dared to bring up the matter.
After all, most of the ministers were involved in helping the prince ascend to the throne.
Those who did not participate did not dare to easily get into trouble.
Who dares to seek death?
The Yang family had no choice but to swallow their anger, fearing that their impulsiveness would cause the prince to lose his position.
The Emperor of Chu listened quietly to these state affairs and did not show any sign of sleepiness today.
When the court was about to end, he suddenly mentioned the King of Qin.
"I was kidnapped this time. I know that you, my dear ministers, have devoted a lot of effort and worry to stabilize the court. I am deeply relieved and also very happy that the Great Chu still has loyal ministers like you."
"Otherwise, due to my previous absurdity over the years, the Great Chu Dynasty would have ceased to exist long ago."
When the King of Chu said this, all the ministers had strange expressions on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.
The Emperor of Chu pretended not to see it.
The subject then changed and the King of Qin was mentioned.
"I treated him well, yet he personally planned this conspiracy to kidnap me!"
"If he hadn't been trying to murder me all these years, I wouldn't have let you down."
"And he confused the royal bloodline."
"This is all my own fault for not paying enough attention. I know I was wrong."
The ministers could no longer hold back and gasped.
Could it be that the emperor is possessed by evil spirits?
Otherwise, how could he say such outrageous words?
Or were they actually still asleep when they went to court today?
One old minister couldn't help but pinch himself secretly.
Only when I felt the pain clearly did I dare to believe that I had actually waited for this day!
Your Majesty was only kidnapped once, could it be that he has really come to his senses?
The old minister's eyes instantly filled with tears, and he looked at the Emperor of Chu with excitement.
I thought to myself: If I had known earlier, I should have kidnapped His Majesty sooner!
The ministers in the hall had different expressions.
Some still looked skeptical.
Some have already started whispering and discussing.
Others had cold expressions on their faces, thinking that the Emperor of Chu was putting on a show and was waiting for him to suddenly go crazy and punish all the civil and military officials in the court.
However, the Emperor of Chu acted as if he hadn't noticed a single thing and continued slowly, "I'm willing to correct all the mistakes I've made in the past."
"Before tomorrow, I will issue a letter of apology. My dear ministers, please supervise me and remind me not to make the same ridiculous mistakes again."
"As for the sins I have committed in the past, I am willing to spend the rest of my life as a vegetarian and practicing Taoism, doing my best to atone for them."
"Speaking of this, I have to mention one person."
"General Li Wu, come forward."
Duan Rongshi, who had been standing in the crowd with his hands clasped together, heard Emperor Chu suddenly mention him. He looked up and reluctantly made eye contact with him.
However, there was a smile in the eyes of the Emperor of Chu.
He couldn't wait to announce to the entire Chu that this was his own nephew.
It is Yue'er's flesh and blood.
However, the King of Chu, who had been warned by Duan Rongshi in advance, did not dare to act in this way.
So, he could only suppress his inner excitement and said dryly: "This time I have encountered a great disaster. If it were not for the brave cavalry general Li Wu who rescued me from the hands of the King of Qin, I would have died long ago."
"On the way back to the palace, he was ambushed and assassinated by the remnants of the King of Qin who were in collusion with the Sixth Prince—"
At this point, the King of Chu glanced at the Crown Prince intentionally or unintentionally.
The prince was so frightened that his face turned as pale as a sheet, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
The Emperor of Chu snorted inwardly.
Although his expression didn't show it, his voice suddenly dropped a lot of temperature.
"Now, the Sixth Prince Zong Zheng Wuheng has fallen off a cliff and his body has been separated while attempting to assassinate me."
"If General Li Wu had not saved me again, I would not have been able to return to the Imperial City safely."
"My life was saved by General Li Wu."
"The Great Chu Dynasty was also saved by General Li Wu."
Having said that, the Emperor of Chu couldn't help but reveal a look of relief on his face.
However, the ministers all looked shocked and strange.
The Sixth Prince is also dead! ?
The second prince, the fourth prince, and the sixth prince all died one after another. Wouldn't the crown prince's position as heir to the throne be more secure in the future?
The ministers couldn't explain how they felt.
What made him even more hateful and shocked at this moment was that Li Wu actually saved this tyrant!
Damn Li Wu!
Wouldn't it be better to let this tyrant die outside?
