The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Feng felt sorry for his son, but he also had to consider Wan Lianxing's face, "Son, kneel down and admit your fault to your grandfather first."

Cheng Youning was unwilling, but he still gave in. Qiao Rong helped him to the front of Wan Lianxing. He knelt on the ground and said insincerely: "Grandson knows his mistake, please let me go home!"

"This is your home!"

"My home is Prince Pang's mansion, not here!"

"When you took the throne of the Crown Prince, your grandfather adopted you to me!"

"Adopted?" Cheng Youning didn't know how high an official the prince was, but he knew what adoption was all about. He looked at Cheng Feng in disbelief, "Daddy, was the child given away?"

Cheng Feng had a hard time speaking out his feelings. When he mentioned this matter, he was too embarrassed to face Cheng Youning: "The position of Crown Prince is vacant and there is no suitable candidate. Your grandfather was optimistic about you, but things turned out like this!"

"You and my mother didn't object?"

"Of course they objected. Not only that, Daddy and your mother also resisted. But for the sake of the overall situation, we had to let you down? Daddy knows that if you knew about this, you would definitely complain, but your mother and I are powerless. Your mother cried every day and suffered from insomnia every night because you moved to the Prince's Mansion. More than ten days have passed, and your mother hasn't had a good sleep. Now she is exhausted. Just now, when she saw you being beaten, she fainted from anger and hasn't woken up yet. So, don't blame me and your mother. There are many things that your mother and I can't control. All you can do is listen to your grandfather and be a good prince. Unless your grandfather has a better candidate, no one can take your place!"

At this time, Cheng Youning had already seen Shang Xi lying on the wooden couch. He supported himself and walked over in pain. He reached out and touched his mother's arm, shaking it gently: "Mom, wake up!"

Cheng Youning was afraid that her mother would die like this. The last time her mother fainted was several years ago. No matter how many complaints he had in his heart, they were no match for her mother's safety. He thought to himself, my mother is not going to die, is she? He reached out to feel his mother's breathing and tears fell from his eyes.

Looking at Cheng Youning with tears streaming down her face, Cheng Feng felt so distressed.

"Uncle, can I take Cheng Youning home to recuperate first? As for the matter of the crown prince, can we wait until Cheng Youning recovers before discussing it?" Cheng Feng wanted to take the child home to recuperate. Fifty beatings with the stick were almost taking Cheng Youning's life, and he couldn't let others take care of him!

Wan Lianxing said coldly: "You feel bad for just a small punishment!"

How could Cheng Feng not feel distressed? The child just wanted to resist because he didn't want to be the crown prince. However, a small resistance was regarded as rebellion and he was beaten with fifty sticks, which was just a minor punishment. If Cheng Youning hadn't been in good health, he would have been dead by now.

"Feng'er, if you are not in the position, you don't know the hardship. The road to becoming an emperor is so difficult, only my uncle knows. Youning is a stubborn man, and he needs more training. If he can't catch prey in three days, he should wake up instead of jumping up and down to argue with me. Since our Fengqi was founded, we have been engaged in wars, and it will be difficult to maintain peace in the future. If one day we need the prince to lead the troops to fight, and because he is not sharp enough and lacks judgment, and misses the opportunity, it will be a disaster for Fengqi!"

Cheng Youning retorted: "That's because I believe Suiying wouldn't do such a wicked thing!"

"Knowing people is a minor skill, controlling people is a major skill, and knowing people and using them is the ultimate skill! Youning, you have to learn! If you trust anyone easily, even if you have nine lives, they will not be enough for you to squander!"

Cheng Youning knew that this time it was his little grandfather and Suiying who set a trap for him. He made two mistakes during the process. The first was that he trusted Suiying too much, and the second was that he had no patience. He should not have come to his little grandfather with nothing in his hands. He should have seen through Suiying's scheme and then hunted a few prey, and then threw the prey in front of his little grandfather. In this way, his little grandfather would agree to let him resign from the position of crown prince.

Little did he know that no matter what he did, his grandfather would not let him go. He was his grandfather's only choice.

Wan Lianxing stood up and walked out while saying, "Take Crown Prince Youning down to rest."

This meant to send the guest away. No matter how thick-skinned Cheng Feng was, he couldn't stay here and not leave. He couldn't take Cheng Youning away. Seeing his son crying so sadly, Cheng Feng's heart was broken. "Son, go and apply the medicine quickly. Wait until your mother is better, and daddy will come to see you again!"

Cheng Youning held Cheng Feng's hand and said, "I don't want to be here. This place is like a prison. There are so many eyes staring at me every day. I can't stand it!"

"Son, Daddy is a nobody and his words carry no weight. I dare not disobey your grandpa. You just have to endure the hardship here for now. When Daddy thinks of a solution, he will come to pick you up!"

"When can you come up with a solution?"

"Daddy studies hard at home every day, he will find a way sooner or later!"

"Daddy..."

"Son, your wound is still bleeding. We can't delay. You have to trust your father!" Cheng Feng himself didn't believe what he said to deceive Cheng Youning. If he had a way, he would have used it earlier. How could he have just watched his son suffer like this!

In the end, Cheng Youning was carried away by Qiao Rong.

Cheng Feng had no choice but to take Shang Xi home.

The person who went to treat Cheng Youning's injuries was Yan Shizhao. He was not an imperial physician, but he was often summoned to the palace to prescribe medicine for the emperor. Unexpectedly, he came to treat Cheng Youning's injuries this time. Yan Shizhao had already heard why he was beaten.

"Your Highness, please bear with it. It will be a little painful to apply the medicine!"

"Master Yan, just go ahead. Now that I am not afraid of death, how can I be afraid of pain?"

"Your Highness, why are you so stubborn? I have studied hard for ten years but have not gained any honor. If it were not for the emperor's appreciation, I would still be collecting herbs in the mountains for a living. As the emperor's relative, you have the opportunity to become the crown prince. Why are you not satisfied? This is a blessing that we ordinary people cannot obtain in several lifetimes!"

"Master Yan, everyone has their own ambitions, but mine is not here!"

"Your Highness, from now on this world belongs to you, so it doesn't matter where your ambitions are!"

"This world belongs to my little grandfather, and has nothing to do with me!"

"Your Highness, you don't know that this prince will take over the throne in the future!"

Cheng Youning shook his head, a confused look in his eyes. He hadn't read carefully the book "Prince Training" given to him by his grandfather, so he had no idea what kind of official position his grandfather had assigned to him as the prince.

Yan Shizhao said: "The crown prince is the heir to the throne. The heir to the throne and the imperial power go hand in hand. Your status is second only to the emperor!"

"Am I a higher official than my father and grandfather?"

"Of course, but Your Highness is not an official. You are the heir to the royal family, second only to the emperor and above all others!"
