Emperor Mu Wu looked at his son who was crying bitterly, with a look of unbearable expression on his face.

But soon, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's already too late."

Just four words had already wiped out Ye Chengyan's remaining hope.

He stood there stunned, his heart falling hard.

Empress Xie was sad and angry. She choked and said: "Your Majesty, I have been in love with you for many years, and you just ignore it?! Once Yan'er is deposed again, he will be ridiculed by everyone in the world. How can he survive?

In this world?!"

Emperor Muwu was extremely tired.

He looked at Queen Xie steadily and said: "Here... here are all my trustworthy ministers. The prince has been supervising the country for some time. You might as well ask them if they are satisfied with the prince? As long as

Today half of the people do not agree to depose the prince, and I will never mention this matter again in the future!"

He was so excited that he was out of breath and weak.

Queen Xie's tears flashed and she turned to look at Prime Minister Lu and others.

There is no need to say anything about Mr. Cao Ge, he has already stated his position just now.

Mr. Xu Ge was also upright and only had the country and the country in his heart, so he said: "The minister, like Mr. Cao Ge, feels that the candidate for the crown prince needs to be chosen carefully."

The other pavilion elders nodded.

Only Prime Minister Lu pursed his lips and said something on behalf of Ye Chengyan: "The prince is still young, but his character is actually upright and pure. With a little guidance, he can still become a talented person. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Ye Chengyan's mind was blank. He thought his feet were muddy, but when he suddenly heard Prime Minister Lu's words, it was like a bowl of hot soup, warming his whole body.

But Queen Xie's face was still pale, so what use could Prime Minister Lu do?

She turned to look at Ye Siheng and Nan Li, her eyes pleading.

Ye Siheng naturally regarded Emperor Mu Wu as his most important thing and said: "Sister-in-law, as a mother, don't you know how the prince is? It's difficult for the emperor in this position, but with the prince's temperament and ability, you are not afraid.

Will his life be in danger?"

Queen Xie was shocked and looked at Emperor Mu Wu blankly.

She has been married to Emperor Muwu for many years, and the two have supported each other through countless conspiracies.

Even if Emperor Mu Wu finally ascended the throne as he wished, he was still being plotted at every turn, and had to use his own life to harm his foundation.

Her husband...is not even fifty yet!

"Queen, please take a step to speak." Nan Li said suddenly.

Queen Xie was stunned, but she did not refuse Nan Li's request.

The two of them arrived outside the palace and retreated from the palace people.

Queen Xie was so distraught that she could not ask Nan Li to plead for mercy.

Nan Li used talisman seals as a barrier to prevent the partition wall from having ears.

She got straight to the point: "Now the throne is full of murderous intent. No matter who takes the throne or becomes the prince, they will inevitably die."

Queen Xie's eyes narrowed.

After experiencing so much, she trusts Nan Li very much.

"What does this mean?" Queen Xie's heart tightened, "Is someone planning to rebel? Or does Qi State have any plans?"

Nan Li shook her head, "There are some things that I cannot spy on. Just now when King Changchun was about to agree, his face already showed a look of death. The same is true on the prince's face now."

These things are inextricably related to her, so she probably can't spy on them.

Queen Xie swayed, holding on to the pillar, and her eyes were shaking, which was enough to show how confused she was.

She had seen a lot of life and death, but when she knew her only son was in danger of death, she was still filled with panic.

"Then if Yaner wants to save his life, he can only become the prince?" Queen Xie grabbed Nanli's hand.

"This should be the only way to crack it." Nan Li said.

Queen Xie closed her eyes and sighed softly at the end, "That's right, Yan'er's ability is mediocre, how can he withstand the murderous intentions from all sides."

As a mother, you only want your son to be healthy and prosperous, and fame, wealth, and power are not important.

Nan Li's two short sentences made her suddenly realize.

When the two of them entered the bedroom again, Queen Xie's eyes were already clear and determined.

She looked straight over, but not at Emperor Mu Wu, but asked what Ye Siheng meant: "Ninth brother, I would like to ask you, if Yan'er asks to be deposed as the crown prince, can you keep him safe for the rest of his life?

Prosperity for descendants?"

Ye Chengyan suddenly raised his head, "Mother!"

It was only a moment, why did the queen mother suddenly change her mind?

He turned to stare at Nan Li, with a variety of emotions rolling around in his heart.

Yesi Heng looked calm and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as he has no other thoughts or requests in the future, I will guarantee that he will be safe for the rest of his life and his descendants will be prosperous."

Queen Xie knew that Ye Siheng would do what he said, not to mention that he made the guarantee in front of important ministers.

She looked down at her son and said, "Yan'er, please ask yourself to be deposed as the crown prince."

"Mother, this can't be done!" Ye Chengyan's voice trembled, "I will be ridiculed by others, and I will never be able to raise my head and be a human being in this life!"

Empress Xie said coldly: "If you want to be respected and respected by others, you should follow the rules and study hard from the beginning! It is your own fault that you are in such a situation today! Until now, can you still not see the situation clearly? If your father, Your Majesty,

Imperial decree, you can’t even save your last bit of face!”

Ye Chengyan was trembling all over.

But no matter how much his eyes begged and no matter how many tears he shed, no one would say a word for him.

He has reached a dead end.

Ye Chengyan crouched on the ground, his throat tight, "My son has no virtue and incompetence, and is not worthy of being the crown prince. I ask my father to depose me as the crown prince and find another talented person to reward him."

There was silence in the palace for a moment.

Emperor Mu Wu said: "Yes."

When Ye Chengyan heard this sound, he burst into tears and was in unbearable pain.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Lu drafted an edict to depose Ye Chengyan, and then he was granted the title of King Wu'an, and he was given a fiefdom and food. As for whether Ye Chengyan would stay in Kyoto permanently or go to the fiefdom in the future, it would be discussed later.

Emperor Mu Wu was already mentally exhausted. After giving some instructions to Yesi Heng, he fell asleep again.

The imperial edict of the deposed prince will not be read out until tomorrow at the court meeting.

However, the matter has been finalized. Ye Chengyan will move out of the East Palace within three days, and he has to start tidying up today.

Yesi Heng prepared the mansion for him early in the morning.

Ye Chengyan's face was ashen. At this moment, he had nothing to fear. He said lightly and mockingly: "The emperor's uncle has indeed made thoughtful arrangements. My nephew would like to thank you."

Ye Siheng raised his eyebrows and fought fire with fire: "King Wu'an has been deposed three times. The future will definitely be difficult. I am your uncle and your elder. This is as it should be."

Ye Chengyan's face froze and he gritted his teeth, but had no words to refute.

Yesi Heng still refused to let him go, "Are there enough people in the East Palace? Do you want me to send black-armored guards to help?"
