The tea fell to the ground, still emitting boiling hot steam.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry. What about you? Are you okay? Did the tea splash on you?"

Tang Jue didn't pay attention to his burned back.

It is hot now, and the summer heat is scorching, so clothes are thin.

Almost all of the tea fell on Tang Jue's back.

Tang Yu shook his head and looked up at Tang Jue with worry in his eyes.

Tang Jue gave her a soothing look, raised the corners of his lips slightly as if nothing had happened, and spoke silently with his mouth.

"Brother is fine, don't worry."

The brother and sister were furious, but the foolish emperor seemed unwilling to let them go.

His tone was extremely gloomy, as if he was facing his enemy instead of his own children.

"What are you two doing standing at the door? You have no manners!"

Tang Jue and Tang Yu looked at each other and quickly suppressed the hatred in their eyes.

He hurried in and knelt on the ground to salute.

Tang Jue's skin on his back was burning with pain under the clothes that were soaked through and gradually cooling down. Tang Yu lowered his head with a cold look in his eyes, but when he spoke, it was with a look of respect.

"My son, please see your father!"

The emperor acted as if he didn't see the two of them.

Didn't even look at me.

There was no intention to ask them to get up.

Bai Yu'er and Bai Zhan stood beside the emperor, one of them looked at Tang Yu provocatively with a smile, while the other one, with his arm hanging around his neck, still stared at Tang Jue arrogantly with his nose raised.

"I thought you two siblings had already forgotten me, your father. One of you did something wrong and didn't repent. You relied on your status as a princess to do evil and openly disobeyed my will. The other relied on your status as a prince to openly provide a secret guard for a princess. Do you think your position as the prince is safe, or are you thinking about the throne under my butt!"

Tang Jue knocked his head down.

"I dare not reply to your father's words. I have been following your example since I was young. I admire you so much that I cannot wait to have such a rebellious thought."

Tang Jue pretended to be sad and heartbroken.

"If your Majesty thinks that I really have such intentions and do not trust me, I do not want to be alienated from you. Perhaps you have been instigated by a villain to doubt my filial piety. If that is the case, I ask you to abolish my position as the Crown Prince to prove my loyalty to you!"

As he said that, Tang Jue bowed his head again.

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial study became extremely quiet.

The emperor's dignified face, although already showing signs of age, still showed signs of youthfulness, was filled with shock.

Bai Zhan was so excited that his breathing became rapid and his eyes were shining.

He didn't expect Tang Jue to be so stupid that he was willing to ask the emperor to depose him from the position of crown prince.

He looked at the emperor anxiously.

He hoped that the next words that came out of that mouth would be the words he expected.

The emperor sitting on the chair was indeed very excited by Tang Jue's words.

He had long wanted to depose the crown prince, but the crown prince was extremely capable, had all the tricks and schemes, and he also had the Grand Tutor behind him, so most of the court officials secretly supported the crown prince.

Even though he suppressed it so much.

But it can't change the situation.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it wouldn't work.

If we depose the crown prince and enthrone Zhan'er now, the court officials will definitely oppose it, and Zhan'er might get hurt.

It is not a good thing to expose Zhan'er to the public too early.
