Not to mention how surprised the court officials were to hear the news.

You must know that such a thing has never happened since the emperor recognized Yan Mingjue, especially after he made Yan Mingjue the crown prince, the emperor's favor for the crown prince reached its peak.

Now he is being punished for reflecting on his mistakes. Although it is said that the state affairs were not handled well, in fact, the court officials all know clearly what is going on.

The person who was most happy to hear the news was Yuanrui. He didn't expect that it would actually come true.

But being punished to reflect on one's mistakes behind closed doors was not enough; he wanted to depose the crown prince.

We need to add more fuel to the fire.

Unfortunately, Chen Sian hasn't been going out recently, so he can't add fuel to the fire.

However, he also had other options.

So not long after, rumors began to spread in the capital that the prince was not actually the emperor's son, but a child of the Chen family.

The rumor spread more and more fiercely and soon reached the ears of Emperor Xuanwu.

Emperor Xuanwu felt very energetic after taking some elixirs recently. However, he had not handled government affairs for a long time, so he still found it a bit difficult to handle them.

And his temper gradually became more and more irritable.

He didn't realize that it was a problem with the pill, and he increased the dosage from one pill a day to two pills a day.

So when Emperor Xuanwu heard this rumor, he became furious.

"Call the prince to the palace for me."

He did not believe the rumor. He knew Yan Mingjue's birthday clearly and was certain that he was his own child.

When he recognized Yan Mingjue, he had already checked everything thoroughly and there would be no mistake.

He was angry at being made a laughing stock.

All of this was blamed on Yan Mingjue. If he hadn't intervened to save Chen Sian, none of this would have happened.

When the imperial edict arrived, Yan Mingjue was teaching his two little boys martial arts. When he heard the news from the palace, his expression remained unchanged.

"I know it."

He waved his hand to let the eunuch go, and calmly taught the two boys kung fu before preparing to enter the palace.

Su Qingwan was a little worried.

"Take them both into the palace."

The two little guys are extremely favored by Emperor Xuanwu, and the situation will be better with them around.

Yan Mingjue said softly:

"You know what I'm going to do."

"Now the more violent the better."

Of course Su Qingwan knew this, but she was afraid that Yan Mingjue would be beaten with a stick.

Many years ago, Yan Ming was beaten with a stick for defying the imperial order and refusing to get married. She still remembers it vividly.

As if he knew what she was worried about, he said softly:

"Don't worry, even if you are beaten with a stick, no one will really beat you now."

He already has basic control over the palace, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant.

After hearing this, Su Qingwan felt relieved.

As soon as Yan Mingjue stepped into the Qinzheng Hall, he was greeted by a flying teacup, which he dodged.

"You did a good job."

Emperor Xuanwu scolded angrily.

"Father, calm down."

"My son, I know my mistake."

Yan Mingjue said respectfully.

He said that he admitted his mistake and begged for forgiveness, but there was no sign of panic on his face, which made Emperor Xuanwu even angrier.

He looked at Yan Mingjue sinisterly and said coldly:

"The Crown Prince is disobedient and will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane."

"Drag it!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Anyone who dares to ask for mercy will be punished as well."

Emperor Xuanwu was determined to establish his authority today.

The reason why he was so angry was also related to the poor handling of government affairs in recent days. He found that Yan Mingjue handled government affairs very well, but when it came to him, he had to spend more than twice as much time as Yan Mingjue.

Doesn't this mean that he is old and no longer as good as his son?

How could he bear it!
