Prince Rui understood this all too well. "So my brother wants to use Prince Chang as a whetstone for Prince An to see if he's truly fit for the throne?"

Emperor Sheng said, "If Prince An is not capable, I will have no choice but to let Xingguang inherit the throne."

Prince Rui: "...Then I can only hope that Prince An can do it."

He couldn't even imagine what the future of Rong Dynasty would be like if Xingguang really inherited the throne.

When the news that Prince An was appointed Crown Prince came out, the entire Rongdu was shocked.

Prince An, who received the decree, sat up in shock from his dying illness: "What?! Me? The Crown Prince?"

He scratched his ears again and again, still unable to believe what he heard, "Eunuch Zhong, did you read it correctly?"

It's still broad daylight.

Zhong Ling bent down slightly and said with a smile, "In reply to His Royal Highness, I did not read it wrong."

"The Emperor has issued an imperial decree to appoint you as the Crown Prince. This is the imperial decree to appoint you as the Crown Prince."

The newly appointed crown prince felt dizzy and had to be supported by his followers before he could kneel down.

Suddenly, he burst into tears, "Heaven, earth, father, why do you treat me like this?"

"I'm just an idle prince who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Why do you want to make me the crown prince?"

He didn't want to be the crown prince at all, didn't want to get involved in court affairs at all, and just wanted to eat, drink and have fun comfortably.

Zhong Ling suppressed her laughter and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor said you must attend the court tomorrow morning."

"Also, this mansion needs to be renovated to be suitable for the prince's residence."

The prince cried heartbrokenly, "Eunuch Zhong, do you think there's a chance the emperor will retract his order?"

Zhong Ling said, "Your Highness, it's broad daylight."

The prince cried even harder, "I feel like my father is making fun of me."

Zhong Ling covered her lips and coughed lightly, "Your Highness, the Emperor has instructed me to tell you that Prince Chang is eyeing the Mu family covetously."

After handing the imperial edict to the prince with both hands, he left with the imperial guards.

The pale prince stood up with the help of his followers and sat down in a chair shakily.

"dying."

The attendant waved his hand to let the servants go about their business. He asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Not at all!" The prince collapsed in his chair, wanting to cry again, "An Yi, do you think the emperor is making fun of me?"

An Yi said, "I guess it's because Prince Chang has been so active recently."

"In my humble opinion, the Emperor will obviously not make Prince Chang the Crown Prince. He will only make you the Crown Prince if you are the only prince left."

The Emperor is such a powerful person, how could he not know Your Highness's disguise.

The prince sighed, "Tell me, do I have a chance to escape this position of crown prince?"

An Yi spoke frankly, "Your Highness, you have already been appointed Crown Prince. Even if you are deposed one day in the future, those people will not let you go."

"If you want to survive, there is no other way except to be a good prince and inherit the throne in the future."

Throughout the dynasties, none of the deposed princes had a good ending.

Because the deposed prince was once the crown prince, he had the possibility of inheriting the throne.

The prince was well aware of this, and he was just asking.

"Get ready, Prince Chang will definitely cause trouble for me soon."

He forced himself to cheer up and said, "For my life, I have to work hard."

He knew Prince Chang too well. Compared with Prince Fei Ding and Prince Fei Xiaoyao, Prince Chang was more sinister, vicious and selfish.

Over the years, Prince Chang has been hiding behind Prince Feiding, using him to do many things and framing him for many things.

If he hadn't completely ignored everything and just spent his days eating and drinking, King Chang would not have let him go.

When Prince Chang learned about the candidate for the crown prince, he was so angry that he smashed everything in the study.

"damn it!"

His face was gloomy, and he was filled with hatred. "I planned everything, but I missed this bastard and let him take away my position as crown prince!"

The butler reminded him, "Your Highness, walls have ears."

"The Emperor has just appointed a Crown Prince. If someone spreads the news that you are dissatisfied with the Crown Prince appointed by the Emperor, it will be extremely disadvantageous to you."

He originally thought that the prince was sure to win, but unexpectedly the emperor appointed Prince Yuan An as the crown prince.

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Prince Chang's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "As long as that bastard dies, the position of Crown Prince will definitely be mine."

"You make arrangements and kill him as soon as possible."

"I will never allow anyone to take my things away."

If he had known this would happen, he should have killed the prince instead of being so kind.

……

When Sang Ye received the letter from the emperor, he was quite surprised and unbelievable.

It was evening, and he found Zheng Xingguang and others to talk about the letter.

"The Emperor just sent a letter, appointing Prince Yuan An as Crown Prince."

When he said this, everyone was stunned and some were hallucinating.

"Did that big brother become the prince?" Mu Baobao was the only normal one.

She leaned over to read the letter, "Big brother, he became the crown prince, isn't that great?"

Sang Ye didn't know the prince very well, so she turned to look at Hua Yun, "What do you think?"

Hua Yun put her chin back manually, "Prince An... No, it's the Crown Prince. Don't look at him as someone who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and doesn't care about anything."

"In fact, he is a very smart and intelligent person. Otherwise, how could he, without the protection of his maternal family and his mother, live a peaceful and comfortable life until now?"

"I don't understand." Mu Baobao raised his little hand, "Second Brother, can you explain it more simply?"

Hua Yun pinched her cheeks and said, "To put it simply, the prince is a very powerful person."

"He's the crown prince, so we don't have to worry about anything."

Mu Baobao said "oh".

"I've heard from my father," Zheng Xingguang said, "My father said that the prince should not be underestimated. He is a very smart person."

"I didn't quite understand it before, but after listening to Hua Yun's words, I finally understood."

"In a place like the Imperial Palace, a prince without his maternal family or his mother as a supporter, and not much cared for by the Emperor, has been able to live peacefully until now. This really shows his ability."

Hua Yun said, "The prince has no great ambitions. His goal is to live peacefully until the end of his life."

"He has no idea about the throne or power."

"Maybe it's because he comes from a royal family, he sees it very clearly and understands it very well."

Sang Ye said, "Perhaps, this is why the emperor made him the crown prince."

"Prince Chang is not a qualified heir. The Crown Prince is intelligent and smart enough, so he is more suitable."

Hua Yun said, "To be honest, the prince is indeed very suitable for the throne."

"In the early years, there were conspiracies and tactics against him, but he resolved them one by one."

"It's just that the prince likes to live a leisurely life."

Sang Ye smiled and said, "The current prince will not have an idle life."

"Prince Chang alone is enough to give the Crown Prince a headache for a while."
