Chapter 40: The Heir Apparent is Demoted

  Yes, Di Lie is the youngest of all the royal princes.

  Chu Ci still remembers that two years ago, Emperor Di was only sixteen years old. At that time, the court had been discussing the establishment of a crown prince, and the officials each had their own candidate for the throne, but no one thought to support Emperor Di. The rumors about Emperor Di at that time were even more gloomy and strange than they are now, and since he was not favored, no one would have thought that Emperor Di would become the crown prince.

  No, she remembered that when the courtiers voted for the emperor, she had pitied Emperor Qi at that time and really cast a vote for him...

  But it was just a casual vote anyway, after all, she didn't have a particularly good impression of those royal children, and she also didn't think that her one vote would play a crucial role.

  But in fact, Emperor Akira did indeed become the Crown Prince, although she didn't know what means he used to ascend to the position of heir apparent...

  As the Su Wang who had the highest reputation as a storage king back then, he has not shown any color in these two years. This time in the Qingzhou event, she didn't know if it was him joining hands with Chu Cheng to plan, but she felt that apart from this, there was no more suitable possibility.

  Why?

  One, Blue Manor has been guarding the White Tiger Order for many years, why did it happen this time? It's not hard to guess that Grandfather Lan Jiuyun never thought of being on guard against his own granddaughter, and even less expected that Chu Qing would have the heart to destroy the Blue Manor.

  But based on her understanding of this half-sister, she couldn't have had the guts and means to do so, plus she had the Chu family's military order token with her. Although she didn't want to believe it at all, she had no choice but to admit that... someone in the Protector General's Manor was instructing Chu Cheng to do this...

  And perhaps... her own flesh and blood would be the ones to brutally slaughter her people, a fact that her mother may not have known as she stood outside the Seiwa-den.

  What kind of purpose would make the Guardian Duke's Mansion willing to destroy the Blue House and take away the White Tiger Order just to join forces with King Su?

  Chu Ci cupped his hands and bowed, "Xu Wang, thank you for cooperating, so I won't have to douse you with a whole body of wine."

  Su Wang's face sank, and he said coldly: "Crown Princess, you've made so many guesses, but only got one thing right. I'm indeed not Lan Qianran, but apart from that, you can't pin those baseless accusations on me. I have no reason to do such a thing."

  "You're really something. His Highness has already said it's not urgent." Chu Ci finally turned his head to look at Emperor Di, and curved the corner of his mouth: "Is that right, Your Highness?"

  From start to finish, Emperor Chi had been quietly watching Chu Ci one by one break down these people's lies. He listened and saw Chu Ci turn her head back and smile at him with a very beautiful shallow arc on her lips. Emperor Chi also gazed at her, lightly raising an eyebrow, and only then did he echo Chu Ci's words to Su Wang in a very light tone: "How could you not have such significance..."

  "Emperor, you glanced at King Su indifferently and continued to say, 'The Blue House was destroyed, the White Tiger Token was seized, Your Majesty sent the Crown Prince to investigate this matter, but not only did he fail to complete it, but also caused the entire Qingzhou to fall. The lives of the people in Qingzhou will be counted on the Crown Prince's head at that time. At that time, new and old accounts have been drafted and will be presented to Your Majesty at any time. If it is light, the Crown Prince will be demoted, if it is heavy, he will pay with his life, is that right?'"
