Chapter 271: Deposed Crown Prince
Jiang Xianhao became furious instantly when he heard this.
"Human lives are at stake. Can this wait?"
At this time, the person who went to ask for instructions hurried back.
However, the news he brought back made Jiang Xianhao completely give up.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has not granted your request."
Those cold words made her take a step back in disbelief and brought tears to her eyes.
"Your Highness, this is bad. His Highness has started talking nonsense."
Jiang Xianhao wiped away his tears and stopped sitting there waiting for death.
She took advantage of the guards' unpreparedness, drew the swords from their waists, and placed them on their necks.
"I command you now to fetch the imperial physician immediately. Otherwise, I will die before you. When the time comes, I wonder how you will explain to His Majesty."
The guard was horrified and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive. I will go and get the imperial physician right away."
The guard was about to go and ask for help, and Jiang Xianhao also breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the sword in her hand was suddenly snatched back by the guard.
"My Lady, please don't embarrass me."
The two guards knelt on the ground and had no intention of calling for the imperial physician.
Jiang Xianhao sneered.
"But what if I really want to go out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two guards drew their swords and stood in front of Jiang Xianhao with their swords crossed.
“My Lady, swords have no eyes, I hope you can step back.
Jiang Xianhao watched this scene and suddenly understood the importance of power. He also understood that his status and life in this harem depended on Shen Wanshan's attitude.
And she was like a toy of Shen Wanshan. When he was in a good mood, he could tease her, but when he was in a bad mood, he would lock her up and let her fend for herself.
She suddenly felt sad.
What queen, what the most noble woman in the world, now she can't even save her own son!
At this moment, two women suddenly rushed out from behind her, one hugged the guard, and the other rushed towards the two swords desperately.
With a "Puchi" sound, the long sword slashed across the neck, and a stream of warm blood spurted out, directly splashing on Jiang Xianhao's face.
Then there was another sound.
The guard tried to break free from Shiying and stabbed her in the waist while struggling.
Wenxiang and Shiying also slowly fell to the ground.
“Smell…smell the fragrance…”
"Knowing the shadow..."
Jiang Xianhao opened his eyes wide, walked forward tremblingly, and held Wen Xiang and Shi Ying in his arms.
"My Lady."
"Someone in our palace is in critical condition. Please call the imperial physician."
"quick."
The two guards had not expected this situation. After looking at each other, they immediately put away their swords and hurriedly headed towards the Imperial Hospital.
Soon, the imperial physician rushed over.
However, at this moment, there was no scent to smell or to recognize the shadow.
The imperial physician shook his head regretfully and immediately went back to the room.
Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived in time and saved Shen Hechuan's life.
But after waking up, Chen Hechuan forgot everything that happened that day.
Moreover, from that day on, Chen Hechuan never came to Jiang Xianhao's yard secretly again.
After this day, Jiang Xianhao became even more silent.
She was a completely changed person.
Even later, when Shen Wanshan came to her palace again, she never spoke a word to him.
For this reason, Shen Wanshan began to rage, struggle, and even threaten, but there was no light in Jiang Xianhao's eyes anymore.
Later, Shen Wanshan began to favor concubines one after another.
Later, Concubine Hui gradually came to prominence.
Jiang Xianhao still didn't want to say a word to him. She just presented the queen's seal and asked to move to Jingyu Palace.
And this went on for more than ten years.
At that time, Jiang Xianhao was completely desperate and had completely given up on Emperor Rongcheng.
And today, when she heard the truth of that night with her own ears, she still couldn't stop the heartache.
However, it is better this way, because only enough heartache can make her remember it deeply, and only then can I be determined to complete all of this.
******
In the main hall.
The entire court was like a vegetable market, with officials arguing endlessly, and Emperor Rongcheng's expression became increasingly worse.
It was not until he threw all the memorials on the imperial desk down that everyone shut up and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
"Everyone is talking, why aren't you talking?"
Emperor Rongcheng looked angry.
"As court officials, when did you become so credulous in such hearsay?"
"This is my family affair, what does it have to do with you?"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wang spoke first.
"Your Majesty, your family affairs are state affairs, and this matter concerns the heir to the throne. We must not be careless. Your Majesty, please make sure to investigate thoroughly!"
Emperor Rongcheng was so angry that his face turned red.
"Asshole!"
"You are so bold! Don't I know whether the prince is my bloodline or not?"
"Do you still need to give me instructions? I think you have lived too long. Someone, come here..."
After he finished speaking, all the ministers knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. I know this is disgraceful to Your Majesty, but it has become known to everyone. If it cannot be resolved smoothly, it will affect our country!"
"Your Majesty, can you bear to let your kingdom fall into the hands of the previous dynasty again?"
"The remnants of the previous dynasty are still active among the people. If they get wind of this, they'll probably make a big fuss about it and cause a civil uprising!"
"His Majesty!"
Prime Minister Wang knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, his words were full of wisdom and he looked like he was giving sincere advice.
"Your Majesty, everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart. For the sake of our great country, please consider this matter carefully!"
Emperor Rongcheng's complexion had improved a lot at this time.
He looked at Prime Minister Wang and spoke.
"Then according to Prime Minister Wang, what should I do now?"
Prime Minister Wang looked up, his face showing an expression of being ready to die bravely.
"Your Majesty, I implore you to dethrone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and appoint His Royal Highness Prince Rui as the Crown Prince instead."
"absurd!"
After Prime Minister Wang finished speaking, Old Tutor Wang couldn't help but speak.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is both virtuous and talented, loyal to the people, and has made great contributions to relieving the severe drought in Qi County. How can you absurdly depose him from the throne just because of a rumor?"
"If what Prime Minister Wang said is true, then our Majesty's position can also be replaced just because of a few rumors!"
These words were so bold that Emperor Rongcheng's expression changed instantly.
But it also made him alert in an instant.
"My dear minister, what you said is true. The position of Crown Prince is a matter of great importance to the country. How can it be affected by a few rumors?"
But Prime Minister Wang remained unchanged.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider. This matter is of grave importance. Now everyone in Tiandu knows about it. If you are not careful, it could lead to a catastrophe."
As he spoke, he looked up and dealt a critical blow to Emperor Rongcheng.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the former Crown Prince's wisdom and popularity?"
