Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

Chapter 267: Accusation, the Prince Rebellion

The intricate circumstances in the court have no impact on Luo Qin's current life. She just does what she should do.

Every day I either research new products or play with my son and teach him to speak.

On September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, all the princes arrived in Jiankang.

Deep inside the palace, the emperor's condition became increasingly serious, and the entire court was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

All the princes realized that this was a perfect opportunity to compete for the throne, and they began to make moves.

However, at this moment, the emperor, who had been bedridden, forced himself to be strong, dragged his weak body to the court, and issued an edict in front of all the civil and military officials to abolish the current prince's position as crown prince!

When this news came out, it was like a blockbuster bomb dropped into a lake, causing a huge wave.

"Your Majesty! No!"

"No, Your Majesty!"

"I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

The ministers of the prince's party naturally could not accept such an outcome. They were outraged and wrote letters to the emperor to express their strong opposition, some even threatening to die.

For a moment, quarrels broke out in the court and the situation became chaotic.

The neutral Wang and Xie families were not surprised at all to see this situation.

But just as everyone was arguing, the Imperial Censor, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly stood up.

He took out a thick stack of memorials from his arms with a serious expression, and then threw it to the ground with force.

Then, he righteously listed the various crimes that the prince had committed over the years: "Look, my fellow ministers, this is the ironclad evidence of the prince's years of corruption, bribery, and favoritism!

Not only did he wantonly withhold the military pay of the soldiers on the front lines, causing instability in the military morale, he was even so bold as to privately embezzle the funds allocated by the court to the southern region for flood control and disaster relief!

Such behavior is truly disloyal to the emperor, and has no moral integrity at all. He has absolutely no regard for the people of the world! Is he worthy of being the crown prince of the Great Jin? ! "

The words of the Imperial Censor were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, and the entire court fell silent in an instant.

The next moment, the prince flew into a rage: "Don't talk nonsense! I never did it!"

Then the prince knelt before the emperor and cried bitterly, "Father, you must believe me! I am innocent!"

Xie Yun smiled silently.

The Imperial Censor stared at the Crown Prince expressionlessly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He clapped his hands slowly, as if giving a silent order, and the next moment, a group of people in plain clothes and with nervous expressions were brought up by the guards. They walked into the hall tremblingly, and every step seemed extremely heavy.

The moment the prince's eyes fell on these people, his face turned pale as paper and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He stared with eyes wide open, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief, muttering to himself: "This... this is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! You must have been instructed by someone to deliberately frame me!" However, his trembling voice could not hide the panic and anxiety in his heart.

At this moment, the witnesses seemed to have found their backbone. They knelt on the ground and began to cry loudly facing the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the common people!"

While wiping away their tears, they shouted to the emperor at the top of their lungs about their grievances.

Some people accused the prince of corruption and bribery, and of plundering the people's wealth; others reported that the prince had forcibly occupied the people's fields and houses, causing countless families to be displaced; even worse, some revealed that the prince had privately embezzled military pay and disaster relief funds, causing the soldiers on the front line to lack food and clothing, and the people in the disaster-stricken areas to suffer from hunger and cold.

The entire hall suddenly fell into chaos, and everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

The prince collapsed on the ground as if struck by lightning, his face as pale as death, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

Faced with such solid evidence and the accusations of many witnesses, he knew that he had no way to escape and the situation was hopeless...

The emperor's face was pale, but his eyes were extremely cold, and he didn't even want to say a word.

What the Imperial Censor said next shocked everyone present: "What's more serious is that the reason why your majesty is seriously ill is because of the deposed queen!

The prince had already known that the deposed queen had secretly poisoned His Majesty, but he chose to conceal it and watched his father suffer. This behavior is simply treasonous and intolerable!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers took a deep breath!

As a son, how could the prince do such a thing!

With one shocking charge after another laid out before their eyes, everyone realized that the crown prince deserved to be deposed this time, and it was not unfair at all!

The crown prince was the rightful heir to the throne, but he played a good hand like this!

Who can blame this?

Immediately, the prince was demoted to a commoner by imperial decree, and no one present dared to raise any objection.

The prince knelt on his knees, his body trembling slightly, but his eyes became more determined.

Suddenly, a low and sinister laugh came out of his mouth: "Hehehe...hahahaha..."

The laughter seemed to come from the depths of hell and was creepy.

As the laughter gradually died down, the prince slowly raised his head. His face, which was originally filled with fear, had now calmed down, replaced by endless coldness and resentment.

He stared at the emperor and gnashed his teeth, saying, "Father, you are so heartless and unrighteous! Have you forgotten that I am your eldest son? Why do you want to abolish me? Is it just for that useless Jin Zhao?! It's ridiculous!"

At this point, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the prince's eyes, and he continued to sneer: "What a pity, even if you give up me, your eldest son, for him, that guy will never wake up! What's the point of you abolishing me? It will only make the world laugh at you!"

As he finished speaking, the prince became more and more agitated, and his voice became increasingly high-pitched and sharp.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, blood flowed down his fingers and dripped onto the cold ground. He seemed unaware and continued to roar madly: "Father, this is the last time I will respectfully call you father! From now on, we are no longer father and son!"

Before he finished speaking, the prince stood up suddenly and shouted with all his strength: "Someone come!"

Instantly, the entire palace was shaken, and everyone was frightened to death. Then, a deafening sound of footsteps came from outside the palace, resounding through the sky like thunder.

When everyone looked closely, they saw a group of soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades marching towards the hall in uniform steps.

It turns out that the prince had already secretly gathered his confidants and close associates and carefully planned a power grab. He had originally planned to force the emperor to abdicate today, but he never expected that the emperor would want to abolish the prince's position.

In this way, a lot of trouble can be saved, and there is no need to flatter and fawn on the emperor anymore!

In the eyes of the prince, the throne was within reach. As long as he could successfully launch a coup, he would be able to ascend to the supreme throne.
