"Yes." But Sheng Mingyu remained calm.
Although Gu Yunni felt aggrieved, she did not dare to raise any objections, and the few of them retreated neatly.
The emperor was the only one left in the palace. He sat on the chair and sighed. Was what he did really right?
The emperor's personal eunuch was the one he favored the most. He understood what the emperor meant when he sighed, and hurried forward to comfort him.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. His Highness the Crown Prince cares about you the most and knows why you made such a decision. He won't be angry."
People are really strange. They obviously like Sheng Mingyu more, but they want to hurt him. Is it really because of their identity?
"Really? I hope Mingyu really thinks so!"
The emperor sighed deeply again.
The eunuch said this just to comfort himself. How could he not see that?
"It's all my own fault, my disappointing son. I'll give you one last chance. If you make a mistake again, don't blame me for being rude."
If there was no prince, he wouldn't have gotten into such an awkward situation with Sheng Mingyu!
He obviously received a lot of praise from his father when he was young, so why can't the same be said for the crown prince?
The emperor was in a bad mood, and the atmosphere on Gu Yunni's side was also very quiet.
It was originally a foolproof situation, but who would have thought that the prince just cried and all their previous preparations would be wasted.
"Are you... feeling down? If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. Although I can't help you solve it, I can be a listener."
"It's okay... I've gotten used to it. How could I be in a bad mood? I'm not his biological son, so why should he be nice to me? I just think the rumors are ridiculous. They actually say that I'm favored. What kind of favor is that?"
Sheng Mingyu shook his head. He had known since he was a child the gap between himself and the prince, and he had never thought about surpassing him.
The Imperial Master sighed, but could not say anything to comfort him. He could only state the facts.
"What's so sad about this? A grown man can't even stand such a small thing?"
This is a scar in Sheng Mingyu's heart that cannot be revealed, and he is unwilling to mention it again.
Du Changming had been kneeling in the hall for too long, and now he limped out, trying his best to catch up with Sheng Mingyu.
"Oh! Father has treated you this way, and you're still not satisfied. If Father doted on me so much, I would have gotten rid of you long ago!"
Although Sheng Mingyu was in a bad mood, it did not prevent him from arguing with Du Changming.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is a mad dog, biting everyone he sees? If you're fine, go back home and lie down early. Didn't I say you're under house arrest?"
Du Changming is a brainless person. Sheng Mingyu broke his defense with just one sentence.
"How dare you say that about me! You compare me to a dog. Are you planning a rebellion? Do you think my father is also a dog?"
He actually dared to speak like that about the emperor. Fortunately, he was the emperor's son, otherwise he would have been torn into pieces long ago.
Du Changming's words shocked the people around him, and the eunuch next to him almost knelt on the ground.
"I have never said anything about Your Majesty. These words came from the Crown Prince and have nothing to do with me."
Sheng Mingyu also hurriedly showed his affection for the emperor. Even though he was favored, he did not dare to say a word against the emperor.
"That's right! Even if His Royal Highness wants to go crazy, he can't take us with him. We haven't lived long enough."
The Imperial Master and Gu Yunni were also smart people and kept agreeing.
Du Changming's face turned pale with suffocation and he began to panic.
"You're going too far. I never said anything about my father. You were the first to say it. How can you deny it?"
It seems that he was the one who said it first. What should I do?
Du Changming became flustered, his eyes turned, and his thoughts turned to the eunuch next to him.
Apart from Gu Yunni and a few others, the only other person at the scene was the eunuch next to them.
"You are the ones who testified for me. They were the ones who said it first. If the emperor asks, you must prove it. Otherwise, I will not let you go."
"yes……"
Under pressure from the prince, the eunuchs agreed.
Anyway, the emperor has spies all over the palace, so it is impossible for him not to know what the prince is saying.
"Humph! So what if I said that? I'm the crown prince, no one can control me!"
Du Changming suddenly became inflated. He didn't know what he was so anxious about just now. He could have solved it with just one word.
Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni were very helpless. They didn't want to bother with this wise prince at all. After all, there was nothing much to say.
But one could imagine the emperor appearing from behind with a very cold tone.
"Oh! No one can control you? Then who am I? Are you going to treat those words you just said to me as if they were nothing?"
He was quite fond of his son, but who would have thought that behind his back, he was nothing in his son's eyes.
"Father!" Du Changming was so frightened when he suddenly heard the emperor's voice that his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, unable to straighten his back.
"Father, please forgive me. I didn't think twice before I said anything. I didn't really mean it. It was them who provoked me to say such stupid things. You should blame them!"
Du Changming really has no brains and doesn't realize where he is wrong.
He had just framed Sheng Mingyu, but now he is still doing it again, and what he said has angered the emperor again.
"You! Get out!" The emperor's face turned pale and he cursed Du Changming.
This son really disappointed him. He shouldn't have given the prince a chance!
"I'm not deaf or blind, I can hear what you're saying. How can you deny it without blushing or beating your heart?"
The emperor covered his chest with his hands and spoke very excitedly.
He had originally wanted to come out and explain himself because he felt guilty towards Sheng Mingyu, and that's when he heard these words.
Now when I see how Sheng Mingyu and Du Changming get along, I feel so angry.
Sure enough, Sheng Mingyu was wronged by Du Changming.
Originally, Sheng Mingyu was indifferent to the matter and kept a distance from it.
But seeing the emperor like this, he still felt soft-hearted and hurried to the emperor to support him.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I am not angry. I am a subject and should listen to the prince."
It has to be said that he has enjoyed a lot of conveniences over the years because of the emperor's favor, and he cannot turn his back on him.
"Mingyu, I'm sorry..."
The emperor sighed, held Sheng Mingyu's hand tightly, and wanted to say something to him from the heart.
But because there were too many people around, he couldn't say it.
"Your Majesty...I understand. Can I help you back to your room to rest?"
Sheng Mingyu could understand what the emperor wanted to say just by looking at him.
But he didn't want to listen at all. What did this have to do with him?
"Father! Can you be fair? You scolded me just now in the hall, and now you are scolding me without any reason. Is it really my fault? Ask the eunuchs around!"
