Chapter 304: The crown prince is deposed

"The prince probably underestimated me too much, so naturally I inquired about it." Chu Ruoyan's words stopped Chu Ruoyan's speculation, but this matter also made King Qin a little frightened. It was originally an open secret that the princes sent secret guards to monitor each other, but if Chu Ruoyan could enter the prince's mansion, wouldn't it be possible that even his own Qin Palace's mansion might be under his surveillance?

As soon as he thought of this, he felt a chill in his back, it seemed that he had neglected King Yan too much before, and always thought that the most powerful of all the princes was himself, but he didn't expect King Yan to be the one who was deeply hidden.

"Okay, don't quarrel anymore, I asked King Yan to probe you." Chu Zhuangyan sat down tiredly, what he knew just now had exhausted him, and he didn't have the strength to ask any more.

"Tomorrow I will announce this matter when I go to the court, so you can stay in the palace first, and don't go anywhere." Chu Zhuangyan opened the door of the imperial study and asked the guards to take Chu Ruoyan down and lock him up. There is a special place for princes in the palace, but Chu Ruoyan is the first person to enter the Mingyue Kingdom, and he is also the crown prince.

After Chu Ruoyan left, Chu Zhuangyan returned to the imperial study.

"The reason why I called you here is to let you know about this matter, and as for the other princes, they will know when they go to court tomorrow. It's almost dawn, so you can stay here for the first time, and go directly to the court in a while. After Chu Zhuangyan finished speaking, he entered the inner room of the imperial study.

There were so many things that happened that night, and he could only take a break during this time before going to the court.

After Chu Zhuangyan entered the inner room, King Qin and Chu Ruoyan were left outside.

"This king didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Yan still has the ability to sneak into other people's palaces without knowing it."

"Isn't His Royal Highness King Qin also stationed a lot of secret guards around other people's mansions? None of us should say anything about anyone. Chu Ruoyan shot back sharply.

When King Qin saw Chu Ruoyao say this, he held his breath in his heart, no wonder those secret guards didn't get any information about Chu Ruoyao for a long time, it turned out that they had already been guarded by Chu Ruoyao.

"King Yan, don't be happy too early, do you think the prince's matter has been solved so smoothly?"

"What does King Qin mean?" Chu Ruoyan was very puzzled, the prince had been deposed, and Li Jinlan and Li Jinhua had also been escorted to Dali Temple, what else could happen?

"I'll know until the morning comes, I'm afraid your Princess Yan will be in danger." After King Qin whispered this, he left the imperial study and went to the main hall. Chu Ruoyan thought about the meaning of his words for a long time, and didn't understand what he wanted to express.

When the hour came, the morning dynasty began. The ministers found that Chu Zhuangyan was unusual, today's emperor was more tired than ever, and the ministers didn't know what was going on, and they were all secretly guessing the reason.

"Read it!" Chu Zhuangyan gestured to the father-in-law next to him, and the father-in-law nodded, picked up the holy decree in his hand and read it.

This holy decree lists many mistakes made by Chu Ruoyan, and each one is surprising. The ministers also couldn't believe it when they heard this accusation, although the prince had a strange personality, but everyone didn't expect that these things were actually done by the prince, and when the matter of setting fire to the academy was mentioned, the ministers below exploded.

"It was actually made by the prince."

"That's dozens of lives...... the ministers commented.

After the father-in-law read the last word, he put the holy decree together, and everyone understood that Chu Ruoyan was gone, and at first he was just dismissed, but now he has even lost the position of the crown prince, and he is under house arrest in the palace, and anyone who wants to see him must be approved by the holy decree.

The ministers who originally supported the crown prince suddenly felt at a loss, they always thought that the prince would definitely inherit the throne in the future and become the emperor of Mingyue Kingdom, but they didn't expect to be deposed like this.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear." A courtier stood up and glanced at Chu Ruoyan intentionally or unintentionally, which made Chu Ruoyao feel a little uneasy. What is he going to say? Are the next words addressed to yourself? Chu Ruoyang looked at this minister, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Chu Ruoyang, and he suddenly remembered what King Qin said before the last dynasty.

"What's wrong?" Chu Zhuangyan asked.

"As mentioned in the holy decree, in addition to the crown prince, there are also two sons of the Li family, if the minister is not mistaken, this Princess Yan is from the Li family, right?" After the minister finished speaking, he looked at Chu Ruoya provocatively, he was a supporter of the prince, since the prince was deposed because Chu Ruoya found out the truth, then he must also pull Chu Ruoya into the water in order to avenge the prince.

As soon as the minister finished speaking, Chu Ruoyan realized what King Qin's words meant before, it turned out that he was waiting for him here, and he couldn't let Li Luobing carry this black cauldron for no reason.

"The concubine of the emperor's sons and daughters is indeed from the Li family, but she has not had contact with the Li family for a long time and has broken off the relationship, and this matter has nothing to do with the concubines of the sons."

"Nothing to do with it? What King Yan said is not right, Princess Yan is from the Li family anyway, the two sons of the Li family made mistakes, maybe it is because they feel that Princess Yan is behind their backs, so they have no fear, according to the minister's opinion, this Princess Yan should also be punished for the crime of poor supervision. The minister's words had obviously moved the others, and although the rest of the people didn't say anything, they already agreed with this statement.

"King Yan, do you have anything to say?" Chu Zhuangyan looked at the ministers below, and also had a trace of disgust towards Li Luobing, or it could be said that he had an aversion to the Li family.

"Erchen thinks that this can't be blamed on the princess, Erchen has nothing to say, if the father has to punish, then please punish Erchen!" Chu Ruoyan said after kneeling in the hall with his fists clenched.

"Punish you? It's not impossible. Then you go to kneel outside the hall for an hour, this matter is settled, what do you think? Chu Zhuangyan said after thinking about it.

Although some ministers were not satisfied with this punishment, it could only go so far, and King Yan was still punished instead of Li Luobing, and everyone didn't dare to say anything.

"The retainers obey." After Chu Ruoyan finished speaking, she walked out of the main hall and knelt down outside the hall.

"Alright, let's all disperse!" Chu Zhuangyan also got up and left the main hall.

The ministers still felt as if they were in a dream until they walked out of the main hall, the prince was deposed, King Yan was punished, the position of the prince was vacant, and the court in the future was afraid that it would be even more chaotic.

People walked out of the hall one after another, and they all stopped when they passed by Chu Ruoyi's side, this was the first time Chu Ruoya was punished after recovering, this scene made those who were jealous of Chu Ruoya feel a burst of joy in their hearts.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, how does it feel to kneel outside the main hall?" Chu Ruoyang came to his side and asked.

"The affairs of this king will not be bothered by King Qin." Chu Ruoyan only said one sentence and then closed her mouth, looking like she didn't want to pay attention to anyone. Chu Ruoyang was a little bored, and left after chuckling.

Chu Ruoyan had been kneeling outside the main hall, and when the hour had come, he stood up, patted the soil on his body and left the palace.

"Your Highness, why did you only come out now?" Guo Dong had been waiting outside the palace an hour ago, but he didn't expect an hour to pass before Chu Ruoyan came out.

"It's okay, let's go back!"

Chu Ruoya returned to the academy in a carriage, and when she entered the door, Li Luobing found that something was wrong with Chu Ruoyao, with Chu Ruoyao's skills, she would not appear to be vain when walking.

"What's wrong with your leg?" Li Luobing stepped forward to look at Chu Ruoyao.

"Nothing." Chu Ruoyan didn't expect Li Luobing's eyes to be so sharp, but in order not to worry him, Chu Ruoyan didn't tell the truth.

"Nothing? No way. Li Luobing knew that he wasn't telling the truth when she saw Chu Ruoyao's expression, she looked Chu Ruoya up and down, and finally noticed that something was wrong on his knee.

"How are the colors different here than elsewhere?" Li Luobing pointed to Chu Ruoyao's knee and asked.

Chu Ruoyan looked down, although he had already patted the soil on his body when he stood up, but because he had been kneeling for too long, there was still a difference if he looked closely.

"Say it!" Li Luobing looked at Chu Ruoyao. Under Li Luobing's eye attack, Chu Ruoyan finally told the truth.

When he heard someone in the court say that he was not strict in discipline, Li Luobing also felt a little unbelievable, but the prince's party was bent on taking revenge on King Yan, so naturally he could come up with any reason.

But when he heard that Chu Ruoyan knelt outside the main hall for an hour for herself, Li Luobing's heart was only moved. She was moved by Chu Ruoqi's efforts to defend herself in front of the public, and she was also moved by Chu Ruoqi to be punished for herself.

"Why do you have that expression?" After Chu Ruoyan finished speaking, she found that Li Luobing was looking at her with red eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." After seeing Li Luobing's expression, Chu Ruoyan couldn't help but say comfort, and it took a while to coax Li Luobing to regain his composure.

The arson of the academy has come to an end, and the students who were recuperating in the academy have left one after another, and the place has returned to its former peace.

After the court was quiet for a while, another major event was ushered in.

"In a few days, people from Izumo Country will come to visit our Mingyue Country, do you have any ideas?" When Chu Zhuangyan went to court, he said that Izumo Country was going to come as an envoy, but although this Izumo Country was an envoy, its attitude towards Mingyue Country was not very friendly. Therefore, Chu Zhuangyan wanted the ministers to come up with ideas, which could not only give the envoys of the Yun Kingdom a dismount, but also not lose the demeanor of the Mingyue Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the Izumo Kingdom has always been hostile to our Mingyue Kingdom, how could he come to envoy this time?"

"yes, they must have come with bad intentions this time."

"No matter what their purpose is, in short, they are here to make an envoy, and even if there is friction between the two countries, it cannot be shown on the surface." Chu Zhuangyan opened his mouth to stop the ministers' discussions.
