"Chen Qing, you are so insolent!" Murong Zhi shouted loudly.
"Prince, I am still alive." The emperor looked at Murong Zhi with a dark face, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"I, your Majesty, have been so kind to you that I have the honor of being engaged to Lord Xiao Jiang. I thought that our future would be filled with happiness after all the hardships we endured. But suddenly, the Minister of State sent Lord Xiao Jiang to Yunzhou and deceived Your Majesty, executing him first and then reporting to him, intending to..."
Shen Qing's tears fell, and her voice was choked with sobs, which made Qiu Fu's throat lump.
Shen Qing raised his eyes and looked at Murong Zhi, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"I know I have offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and will not have an easy life in the future. Therefore, I voluntarily leave the capital and never set foot in it again. However, Master Xiao Jiang is innocent. I hope Your Majesty will find another good wife for Master Xiao Jiang."
Shen Qing knelt down and bowed heavily to the emperor. "Your Majesty, long live!"
"Chen Qing, do you think that leaving the capital can atone for your sins?" Murong Zhi was obviously a little upset. "Your sins cannot be forgiven even if you die!"
"Murong Zhi!" The emperor slammed the table, "Should I call you emperor?"
Murong Zhi's mind suddenly cleared up. He realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly knelt down.
"Father, what I just said was not what I meant. It was Shen Qing. She knows witchcraft!"
A deep meaning flashed in Shen Qing’s eyes.
What kind of witchcraft? It's hypnosis.
It will evoke the strongest resentment, hatred and desire in your heart.
Murong Zhi just wanted to decide life and death at will, he just wanted to kill her!
"Heh." Shen Qing didn't say anything, but just smiled bitterly, which seemed to say everything.
"Is Your Highness the Crown Prince hysterical?" Shen Jianshan snorted coldly, "This is clearly your own fault, yet you are throwing dirty water on my son right now."
"Father, it was really Shen Qing who did it. She knows witchcraft, and her eyes should be gouged out..."
"Your Highness, what is your purpose in putting on this show? Why are you so determined to kill me? What have I done wrong? Now that the Emperor is here, please let His Majesty make the decision for you! Speak!"
At this moment, Murong Zhi's eyes were filled with Shen Qing's meaningful gaze, and her slightly suggestive words echoed in his mind.
He shook his head, trying to shake the voices off.
“Shut up! Shut up!”
Murong Zhi blinked hard.
Why? Why is Shen Qing everywhere?!
Why are there so many Shen Qings? !
"Crown Prince?" The emperor frowned and looked at Murong Zhi.
Murong Zhi looked up, and the person sitting on the dragon throne turned out to be Chen Qing!
"Your Highness... you... kill me... Your Majesty... you decide..."
Only a few words of what Shen Qing had said just now echoed in his mind.
"I... am... the emperor, I... make the decision!"
Murong Zhi suddenly drew out his sword and stabbed towards the 'Chen Qing' who was sitting on the upper seat!
Chen Yanzhi was closest to Murong Zhi. He reacted quickly and immediately pinned Murong Zhi to the ground.
"I am the emperor!"
You are the emperor, then what am I?
"Come here, lock this 'Emperor' up for me!" The emperor's chest was heaving with anger. "Qiufu, draft an edict. Murong Zhi is attempting to regicide and usurp the throne. From today on, he is stripped of his title of Crown Prince, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House!"
Shen Qing raised an eyebrow.
Wow, what a pleasant surprise!
Murong Zhi, you really do well!
Chu Ting was stunned watching from the side. No, can it be done again? He really didn't see it clearly!
However, since that’s the case, don’t blame him and put all the blame on Murong Zhi!
Anyway, he won’t be burdened by too much debt!
When Shen Qing left the palace, it was already dark.
I thought only a short while had passed, but it turned out to be a whole day.
She couldn't understand why Murong Zhi was so determined to get himself killed. Was his brain rented and had to be returned at the appointed time?
Shen Qing blinked, feeling a little tired.
The male lead is gone, now she is the male lead!
I really want to see what Shen Jing’s reaction would be if she knew.
Qingge applied medicine to Chen Qing while shedding tears.
She didn't understand why the young lady looked so happy.
"Miss, does it hurt?"
"Well... it hurts, Sister Qingge, please be gentle..." Shen Qing blinked, and the idea of teasing her ignited in his heart.
"Miss!" Qingge couldn't tell whether she was joking or serious, "If you continue like this, I will not care about you anymore!"
"Oh, Sister Qingge, please be more gentle with her!" Chen Qing said, imitating Qingwu's tone.
Qingge sighed. Fortunately, Shen Qing was in good spirits and was not frightened.
"Hmph, that damned Minister of Justice, let Lord Xiao Jiang come back and give him a good beating!"
Shen Qing pursed her lips slightly. She didn't know what was going on with Jiang Zhuo...
When Shangguan Xi heard about Murong Zhi's situation, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
"What the hell is going on! Explain it to me word for word!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince orchestrated a plan to force Jiang Zhuo to leave the capital, and then ordered the Minister of Justice Chu Ting to arrest Shen Qing and torture him. Shen Jianshan's son, Shen Yanzhi, immediately went to the palace to report this to the Emperor, who then sent Qiu Fu to the Ministry of Justice to have Shen Qing and the others brought to the palace.
Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shen Jianshan also arrived, bringing with them the witness Rong Qing. Shen Qing's few words of retreating to advance had actually confused the Crown Prince, causing him to lose his composure in his words.
After the man finished speaking, Shangguan Xi's beautiful eyes slightly frowned, "It's just a few wrong words. Why would the emperor make such a fuss and intend to depose Zhi'er?"
"His Royal Highness claimed... that he was the Emperor, and even drew his sword in an attempt to assassinate him."
"What?! Impossible!"
Murong Zhi has always been steady and self-possessed, and always appears to be calm and composed.
In Shangguan Xi's impression, he always did things in a thoughtful and orderly manner, never acting impulsively. Moreover, he had never shown an overly persistent desire for the throne.
How could such a person suddenly do such a heinous and shocking thing as assassinating the emperor?
This was really unbelievable for her!
"Not only that, the Minister of Justice, Chu Ting, threw all the dirty water on the Crown Prince afterwards, claiming that he was forced to obey under the majesty of His Highness."
Chu Ting cleared himself of all blame and even created the illusion that he was also a victim.
"I'll go find the Emperor."
Shangguan Xi came to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience, but was turned away by the emperor.
"Empress, His Majesty is worried, please go back first." Qiu Fu persuaded.
"It is my duty to relieve the emperor's worries."
Today, she must see the emperor. If the imperial edict is announced to the world tomorrow, there will be no other options!
"This... the Fourth Prince is playing chess with His Majesty in there." Qiu Fu sighed.
The Fourth Prince? Could it be that the Emperor has already planned to appoint the Fourth Prince as the Crown Prince?!
Is the bastard child of that bitch Qin Rou worthy of being the crown prince?
