However, what Su Junning and Shen Qianwei didn't expect was that the matter between the two of them had not yet been decided, and within a few days, on the day of the Double Ninth Festival Ceremony in early September, there was another accident in Bianjing City.

It's not a trivial matter, the prince was bitten by a poisonous snake, and in order to save his life, he had no choice but to give up his left arm.

It happened too fast, too suddenly, and completely unexpectedly, and the pot exploded in Bianjing City.

On this day, according to the practice of the Beidi royal family, the emperor is to climb the Jinling Mountain outside Bianjing City to worship the ancestors and heaven and earth, and pray for the longevity of the Beidi country and the safety of the society.

As the prince, the crown prince has to follow Emperor Jianning to the summit of Jinling Mountain, while the others have to stay in the ancestral hall about a stick of incense away from the summit and wait, and they are not qualified to follow to the summit.

However, I didn't expect that such a section of the road was not followed, when the sacrifice returned, a poisonous snake fell from the tree and fell on the shoulder of Emperor Jianning, the situation was urgent, the prince was escorted, and directly dusted the snake off the shoulder of Emperor Jianning with his bare hands, but he was bitten on the wrist.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was naturally no imperial doctor accompanying him when he came out to worship, and when he hurriedly brought people down from the mountain, the prince was already unconscious.

Although some emergency treatment had been done, when the imperial doctor arrived, the prince's entire left arm was already swollen, especially the wrist wound, which was not decently swollen.

has always been bitten by poisonous snakes, and the treatment has to race against time, and the prince has obviously missed the best time for treatment because of the delay on the way down the mountain.

And the imperial doctor didn't know what kind of snake the prince was bitten by, and he couldn't accurately prescribe the right medicine for a while.

What's worse is that the prince's pupils have begun to dilate a little, and if he doesn't make any more moves, he may not be able to save his life.

In desperation, Emperor Jianning had to reluctantly agree to give up his left arm to save his life.

In the palace at the foot of Jinling Mountain, four or five imperial doctors joined forces to complete the operation with difficulty, but fortunately, in the end, the bet was won, and the prince's life was saved, but since then he has become a crippled person.

Emperor Jianning looked at his unconscious son's empty left sleeve, and his face was like heavy iron.

A group of ministers who followed the worship to worship, as well as the three princes of Jin, the fourth prince, and the seventh prince, all hung their heads and said nothing.

Everyone knows in their hearts that after the prince wakes up, he will no longer be the prince.

No country would choose a physically disabled prince as the heir, strictly in the end, even if he has a visible scar on his face, let alone the loss of an arm.

After the news was transmitted back to Bianjing, the queen fainted directly after hearing it.

In the East Palace, the Crown Princess Yin was even more chaotic, causing chaos in the entire East Palace for a while.

When he returned to the city, it was already dark, and Emperor Jianning directly brought the prince back to the palace and placed him in a vacant palace.

The queen stayed in front of the prince's bed all night, crying and fainting several times, until the next day when she was physically exhausted, she was forcibly taken down by Emperor Jianning to rest.

For the sake of the prince's affairs, Emperor Jianning directly dismissed the court for a day when he was supposed to go to court today.

For a while, the hearts of people in Bianjing City were fluctuating, and they were all waiting to see what would happen next.

But everyone is sure that the prince's position will definitely not be kept.

Hidden Jade Pavilion.

Su Junning was also discussing the prince's disability with the maids

"The queen mother has such a child under her knees, and now that she is old, it is impossible to have another child, and now there is no hope." Yingmei sat on the embroidered purse on her feet and whispered.

When she mentioned this, Jichun next to her nodded and answered.

"Mother is more expensive than son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no good future, not to mention that the queen has no hope, then the Xu family may not be able to get angry."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a pity and pitiful, but those people in the Xu family deserve it very much, especially the third young lady of the Xu family." Nan Su immediately said.

When she said this, she also reminded Su Junning that Shen Qianwei also had a little fan sister Xu Sini.

Shen Qianwei and Xu Yuanche have a good relationship, I don't know if they will go to Xu's house to comfort one or two at this time.

Thinking of this, Su Juning snorted.

Nan Xu looked over, "What's wrong with Miss?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, the position of the crown prince is vacant, I'm afraid the court will be uneasy from now on." Su Junning didn't tell the truth.

But the one she raised was a real problem.

"In terms of the respect and humility of the elders and the young, the next prince may be the King of Jin." Nan Su whispered.

Su Juning turned the jade bracelet in his hand and squinted.

"King Jin has contributed a lot to the emperor's position of Ninety-Five, and his reputation in the court is also very good, with the reputation of a virtuous king, my father also said that the emperor and the prince rely on him very much, and now it seems that he is indeed the most suitable."

Speaking of this, Su Juning suddenly remembered something, and smacked his lips.

"I didn't expect Su Zhiyi's vision to be good."

Several girls were stunned, but quickly realized what she meant, and nodded one after another.

Su Junning chuckled and waved his hand.

"Okay, what is going on outside has nothing to do with me, a deep boudoir, you must remember that you are not allowed to talk nonsense and say a word more than this house, and now is the time of turmoil, you must remember that disaster comes from the mouth."

"Yes, slave and maid obey." The three girls answered in unison.

However, she can hang high without caring about herself, and the person who is an official in the court is different.

Even a small cavalry lieutenant like Shen Qianwei, who has a low official position, is nervous during this time, always staring at the movement of the court, afraid of stepping on the thunder and making a mistake.

Fortunately, the prince finally woke up after two days in a coma.

After discovering that he had become disabled, the prince found it difficult to accept it for a while, but he was very restrained and did not make any noise.

Even after resting for five days, he took the initiative to propose to Emperor Jianning to abolish his position as crown prince.

Looking at the twists and turns on the crown prince, Emperor Jianning was heartbroken and distressed.

This eldest son is really satisfied everywhere, and he really didn't expect this kind of disaster to happen, and the prince's sensibility and restraint also made Emperor Jianning feel more and more guilty and pitiful.

But in the end, he was the emperor of Beidi, and he had to take the overall situation into account, so he finally agreed to the prince's request.

Abolish the crown prince's position, crown him as King Chen, and decree that King Chen still live in the East Palace, and only change the plaque of the East Palace to King Chen's Mansion.

The word Chen is the name of the emperor, and there is no precedent for the East Palace to be changed to the palace since ancient times, and Emperor Jianning's move is also to express to the outside that he still values this eldest son.

The crown prince became the king of Chen, and naturally no one mentioned the small election in the East Palace.

At such a time, how can he still have the heart to choose a concubine for his son who has just been disabled.

The queen couldn't accept the blow, the prince fell ill the day he woke up, and he hasn't recovered yet, and now the mother and son are recuperating.

And this small election is a few people are happy and a few people are worried.

The number one worry is the Ruiguo Mansion.

The crown prince became King Chen, and he also lost an arm, and the Xie family was naturally reluctant to marry his daughter to a disabled man, so Xu Sini's marriage into the royal family was in vain.

There is another person who is worried about Wang Xuwei, the lady of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion.

She already had a broad road, first committed to being the prince's concubine for a few years, and when she gave birth to a son, when the prince ascended the throne, she would be the queen of the world, and now it has all become a dream.

That is, fortunately, Emperor Jianning did not decree the canonization in advance, so she can still negotiate her own marriage.

The last person to say joyful is naturally Xu Sini.

But this is not entirely true, because Xu Sini is half happy and half sad.

Happily, she doesn't have to marry a man she doesn't like, but the sad thing is that the prince's future is ruined, which means that the future and glory of the Xu family have also suffered a lot.

has been planning for the prince for all these years, and the hard work can be said to be in vain.

But no matter what, for the time being, Xu Sini is still happy to have the opportunity to pursue what he loves.

And September of the second year of Jianning, after all, because of this incident, became a month remembered in the history of Beidi.

However, for now, because of the prince's voluntary resignation, as well as Emperor Jianning's love and reward, Bianjing City has temporarily returned to calm on the surface.

It's just that such a calm is almost impossible for the Su family.

At the end of September, Su Mansion welcomed another uninvited guest.

When Xiao Lu stepped into the Su Mansion with an extraordinary-looking young man, Su Junning felt bad in his heart, and when he learned that this man was the eldest son of the Lu family, he immediately became even more vigilant.
