My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

The more Gu spoke, the angrier he became. He was so disappointed in his friend that he wished he could turn back time.

If she could turn back time, she would never allow this damn girl to act recklessly and would force her to marry into the Marquis of Wuwei's Mansion!

Lin Yuwei was stunned, and also a little dazed and confused.

Deep down, she didn't even know if she regretted it.

No, I don't regret it, absolutely not! How far have we come now?

Lin Yuwei encouraged herself again: "Mom, we are just getting started. It's too early to talk about this now. The Marquis of Wuwei Mansion only looks glamorous on the surface. Who knows what's going on inside? It's not impossible that they may be sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside!"

"Shut up," Gu was also angry. She pointed a finger at her forehead and gritted her teeth, "Why are you so stubborn? I really don't know what's wrong with you. Why do you have such a stubborn temper? I've already become the wife of the marquis, and you're still stubborn."

Lin Yuwei sneered: "When I become the wife of Duke Rong——"

"Shut up!" Gu was furious and disappointed: "Are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing."

"There are no outsiders here, so what's wrong with me telling you? Why can't you be a little more patient? When the entire Rongguo Mansion becomes mine, without those people getting in the way, I will naturally be better than Lin Yulan! Didn't Marquis Shao have a leg injury? They say it can be cured, but who knows the truth? I'm afraid he has become disabled, but the Wuwei Marquis Mansion is keeping it a secret for the sake of face!"

In his previous life, Shao Xun's legs were disabled.

Although the reasons are not exactly the same, the results are the same.

As long as the result is the same, it's fine. This proves that what happened in the previous life will happen again in this life...

"you......"

Gu looked at Lin Yuwei and suddenly felt that her daughter was so strange! At this time, she was still so stubborn and insisted on her ridiculous views. She was really wondering why.

However, things had come to this point, and it didn't matter whether she was puzzled or not, or whether she knew the reason or not.

The important thing is, there's nothing she can do.

Gu closed her eyes in pain, and when she opened them again, her eyes were clear. She knew that her daughter was unreliable, and she decided to give up on her.

She also has a son, and she has to make plans for her son and grandchildren.

Since this daughter refused to listen to advice and she had her own ideas, she had nothing to say. From now on, she would not help her or advise her anymore. She would bear the consequences of everything she did and chose.

She has done her best as a mother.

Lin Yuwei had no idea that her mother had given up on her. She was still so smug and confident. She firmly believed that she would have the last laugh.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shao Xun's leg had fully recovered. He brought Lin Yulan to the palace to pay respects and attend a banquet. The emperor was very pleased and comforted him.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the prince's life was not so good.

As in previous years, the emperor led the princes, princesses, and concubines to the Qin'an Hall to burn incense and worship Buddha.

In previous years, the emperor would enter the Qin'an Hall to burn incense, and the crown prince would follow him into the hall, while everyone else, including the empress, would perform the ceremony outside the Qin'an Hall. The emperor would not kneel, but everyone else would kneel and kowtow.

The royal masters were naturally delicate, so kneeling mats were placed on the ground in advance.

This time, the emperor came to the Qin'an Hall surrounded by people. When he saw the kneeling cushion belonging to the crown prince placed in the hall, he immediately frowned and asked coldly: "Who placed this there? Did you ask for permission?"

The eunuch in charge of arranging the preparations for the Qin'an Palace was so frightened that his heart was pounding. He knelt down hurriedly to explain: "Your Majesty, please excuse me. It's all because of the past years, past years——"

"How dare you!" The emperor was furious and sneered, "In the past? How could the past be the past? The present is different from the past. Don't you understand such a simple truth? How dare you, a slave, act like my master?"

"I dare not, I dare not! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Everyone was surprised, and countless people were secretly gloating, especially Concubine Yan and the Second Prince. The corners of the mouths of both mother and son were raised high.

The prince was extremely embarrassed.

Things are different now, things are different now... Things are really different now!

He was not only embarrassed, but also terrified. What did the emperor mean by this? Was he planning to depose him?

The Empress was also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the Crown Prince to kneel down, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I was confused. Your Majesty is a precious person, there is no need for you to get angry over such a trivial matter."

The emperor snorted coldly and said coldly: "Drag him away and give him thirty strokes of the cane."

The eunuch in charge didn't even dare to hum and was dragged away with his limp hands and feet.

"Queen, please stand up."

"...Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother glanced at her son who was kneeling beside her. The Emperor did not let the Prince stand up. She did not dare to plead for mercy and had to give up.

When the emperor entered the Qin'an Hall, the empress and others hurriedly lined up according to their status, knelt down, and worshipped Buddha with the emperor.

As for the crown prince, he knelt there without moving. Seeing the provocative and malicious mocking eyes of the second prince, as well as the evasive and prying glances of others, he became so angry that the blood rushed to his forehead, and his face turned red and purple. He was so embarrassed!

He had never been so embarrassed!

Does the emperor still remember that he is the crown prince? Does he still treat him as the crown prince?

After offering incense, everyone left together for the banquet.

The Queen Mother reacted very quickly and whispered to Aunt Xiu beside her to quickly block the news and strictly forbid people from discussing the matter, otherwise anyone who spoke out would be severely punished.

However, the Queen Mother's ban only applies to the palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines of lower status. The Crown Prince is publicly despised by the Emperor and is not even qualified to accompany the Emperor into the palace to burn incense as in previous years. How great a happy event is this for Concubine Yan and the Second Prince's faction?

How could they miss the opportunity to publicize this?

Others are afraid of the Queen Mother and would rather avoid trouble than get into trouble. However, Imperial Concubine Yan and the Second Prince are not afraid.

Therefore, before the palace banquet even started, this matter had already spread to the crowd at the banquet and reached the ears of the powerful officials...

Shao Xun soon found out and smiled in surprise. It was a good thing. It seemed that the emperor really hated the prince.

It makes sense. The Crown Prince has been in the limelight in the past two or three years and his reputation has spread far and wide, especially last year when he went to Kaifeng to provide disaster relief for the Yellow River. He worked tirelessly and devotedly, and won the hearts of the people. Wherever he went, the people admired him and bowed to him, expressing their gratitude to God.

It is said that when he left, the people spontaneously lined the streets to see him off, and local respected elders presented him with an umbrella on behalf of the local people.
