Three days after the emperor adjourned his court, he finally appeared in the Golden Palace.

However, he, who is nearly sixty years old, looked several years older in just a few days, and there were more wrinkles on his face.

Although what happened in the deposed prince's mansion that night was not publicized, all officials had already received the news long ago. Especially during the days when the court was suspended, the news was quietly fermenting.

Now, everyone is quietly waiting to see how the emperor will deal with...the people imprisoned in the Dali Temple.

The King of Qi and other factions were all very low-key. Even after Luo Qiongchuan fell into Jiang Hao's hands and lost Su Xun, they kept themselves restrained.

Not only that, the person they sent to stir up trouble is still imprisoned in Shuntian Prefecture Prison, and Pei Jun has no intention of releasing him yet.

The case of deposing the crown prince is too sensitive. If one gets involved just because he's impulsive, there's no telling whether he'll be implicated in it.

Therefore, the smartest way is to show weakness and reduce your presence.

Regardless of whether it was the deposed crown prince Xie Yuzhang or the deposed crown prince Xie Yuqi, with their dethronement, all possibilities were over. Especially when it was heard that the deposed crown prince Xie Yuzhang seemed to have a strange disease and had difficulty walking, the possibility of him being restored to the throne was even more impossible.

Eunuch De saw that His Majesty was staring at the people below with sharp eyes for a long time, and then he looked at Eunuch De and said, "Little Dezi, you read it, I am tired."

Eunuch De heard the tiredness in his voice and responded quickly. He took a few steps forward and opened the imperial edict in his hand: "The Emperor decrees that the Crown Prince Yu Zhang be deposed and framed by traitors. I feel deeply saddened. Now, after finding out the truth, I will restore his status..."

Eunuch De read it aloud, and the King of Qi turned his head slightly and glanced at the King of Wei next to him.

Coincidentally, the King of Wei was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

Restore identity?

King Ning?

It seems that the deposed crown prince will become a favorite in the eyes of the emperor again.

The two brothers each had their own plans, and after the court session ended, they rushed back to their own homes as soon as possible.

......

The unjust case of the deposed crown prince was just covered up with a single word, and he was given a title, a mansion, gold, silver, and jewelry, good farmland and shops, and a large number of slaves...

However, no amount of compensation can bring back those lost lives.

The deposed crown prince, no, it should be Prince Ning, but he was unwilling to leave.

Eunuch De looked embarrassed: "My Lord, if you are unwilling to leave, I will not be able to return to the palace to report. The house that His Majesty has given you is no worse than this place. It is next to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. It will be more convenient for the county lady to treat your injuries in the future, right?"

Eunuch De tried to persuade him with a smile, but Prince Ning said, "Just say that I don't want to leave. Father won't blame you."

"But......"

Eunuch De wanted to persuade him again, but when he looked up, he saw Jiang Hao coming. He hurriedly greeted Jiang Hao and said, "County Lady, the prince doesn't want to leave. Please persuade him."

"Eunuch, please go back to the palace first. I will talk to the prince."

"Thank you County Lord."

Jiang Hao waited until Eunuch De walked away. Just as he turned back, he heard King Ning say, "Actually, you don't have to come again. My uncle is dead. No one is forcing you or me to do anything. It doesn't matter whether my hands and feet are restored or not."

"Is Ji Zixuan not important too?"

Jiang Hao's question hit the nail on the head and shocked King Ning.

Yes, the son he cut open with his own hands and took out and sent away, is he no longer important?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Hao continued, "You can meet in a few days. I came here to tell you how the emperor secretly dealt with the deposed prince and his family."
