The emperor gritted his teeth and said: "I knew it! That old man Yang suffered a loss last time and must be causing trouble for me again. I didn't expect to take action so soon!"
Saying this, the emperor suddenly turned his anger back on the prince: "If it weren't for you! How could there be so much trouble!?"
"Look at all the good things you have done recently! It really disappoints me! How can I trust you and leave this country in your hands in the future!?"
The expressions of the queen and the prince changed drastically. She never thought that the emperor would bring the topic back again!
Not only that, the emperor's trust in King Jin and King Qin completely exceeded their expectations!
When did the emperor start trusting them so much? !
This is not good!
The queen and the prince looked at each other vaguely, and they both saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes. It seemed that they underestimated King Jin and King Qin too much!
Next, we must closely monitor the movements of King Jin and King Qin! Never be careless again!
Enduring the suspicion and anger in his heart, both the queen and the prince knew that the most important thing at the moment was how to deal with the current difficulties first!
"Father! It's really an accident! I didn't expect that such a thing would happen suddenly! They would suddenly come to search!" the prince said anxiously.
He even tried to divert the emperor's anger again: "Someone must have been eyeing my son and deliberately trying to harm him! Otherwise, Chunshengtang has been there for so many years and nothing has happened, but now something suddenly went wrong!"
"Trash! You didn't hide it well, and someone found it out. How can you still say it!? If you had hidden it well, how could others find it so easily? You just picked it up and got all the evidence!"
The emperor was so angry that he directly pointed at the prince and started scolding him!
The emperor was filled with anger. At this time, he had never considered changing the prince so seriously!
There was no result from the commotion in the royal study room for a long time, because the people's voice was very clear, that is, the prince should be deposed!
Only the deposed prince could calm the anger of the people. Seeing that the emperor was unwilling to compromise, and the queen and prince were even more unwilling, the matter ended up in a stalemate.
From the sunset filling the sky until nightfall, the people at the gate of the palace still haven't left.
It wasn't until the emperor directly issued a temporary curfew, and the government officials and guards began to drive people away, that the crowd dispersed.
The capital city that has been "busy" for a day has finally fallen into tranquility. However, under this tranquility, there is an anxious undercurrent surging...
At night, in Shaoguang Pavilion.
"Achen, do you think it is really possible to dethrone the crown prince this time?" Luo Tong looked at the handsome face of the man beside him and asked with a frown.
"Now is not the time. The prince can decline, but he cannot fall completely. Otherwise, the triangular balance will be broken. The current situation cannot reach this point."
"King Qi still needs time to develop, and Zhou Dynasty also needs time to prepare, so I can only try my best to hold off King Jin and King Qin."
Wu Zechen's eyes were solemn. After saying that, when he lowered his head and looked at Luo Tong again, his eyes were full of tenderness and worry.
He gently caressed Luo Tong's already sizable belly, and a feeling of blood connection surged through his body.
Luo Tong looked at Wu Zechen's profile and gently climbed up his cheek with his fair hands: "Thank you for your hard work for me and Da Zhou."
He was not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.
Luo Tong knew how painful it was for him to make such a decision. His enemies were all in front of him, and he had the ability to destroy them, but he couldn't do so.
He loved this land, his family, his country, and the homeland that he and Prince Lao An tried their best to protect. He could not convince himself that he would just take revenge regardless of his own selfish desires.
So he could only endure it, and he kept enduring it, waiting for the time to take revenge and protect his country at the same time...
"With you and a child, it won't be hard." Wu Zechen saw Luo Tong's eyes full of distress for him, and a smile from the heart appeared in his eyes. This was his truest thought now.
If it were before, he would have been really miserable, and every day would be a torment.
But now, he has a wife who loves each other, a partner to whom he can trust everything, and a child who is about to be born, so he is no longer miserable.
There are expectations every day, and there is motivation to keep moving forward every day.
Luo Tong looked at the smile in his eyes and felt a little relieved, but he still said uneasily: "If it really comes to a critical moment, send me to Gudan, so that you can act without worries."
If he really got to that point, he would only become a burden to Wu Zechen. Luo Tong knew this very well.
So whether it's for the children, for yourself, or for Wu Zechen, leaving temporarily is the best choice.
Wu Zechen naturally understands this truth: "Although it is most reassuring for me to have you by my side, if that day comes, I will do as you say."
"But now, I will try my best to delay it. No matter what, I will try to delay it until the day you give birth to the baby."
"Okay, don't work too hard. I will bear everything with you." Luo Tong raised his head and pecked the corner of his lips.
Then she remembered something again and said, "I heard that A Yan did a lot of things for the people in the capital today, and even did it himself."
"Yes, this is my idea. Although nothing can be seen in the first few days, and now everyone's eyes are focused on the prince and Chun Shengtang, but as time goes by, someone will notice what he has done. "
"With the prince as a contrast, and the current situation, it is an excellent opportunity. Then everyone will know that there is a Qi King who is completely different from the prince, and a Qi King who is dedicated to the people."
Wu Zechen is very confident about this.
Luo Tong nodded in admiration: "You should think more comprehensively. This is a good idea."
"King Qi is not bad, he is willing to put down his body to do these things, and he can listen to what I say." Wu Zechen gave a rare compliment.
Luo Tong pursed his lips and chuckled: "If we can get the support of the people, it will be a good thing for Ah Yan."
Wu Zechen nodded in agreement: "Yes, the emperor and the prince don't pay much attention to these things, but they have forgotten one thing. The reason why they dare not deal with me blatantly is not only the Western Army, but also because of the public opinion."
Luo Tong nodded in agreement. Wu Zechen's reputation was so high that the emperor did not dare to blatantly attack Wu Zechen, otherwise he would offend the public!
Early the next morning, what the emperor did not expect was that the common people who had left for the night gathered at the gate of the palace again, and there were many more people than the previous day, a huge crowd!
After the emperor learned about this, he almost destroyed the imperial study room!
Now, he had to think seriously about how to quell public anger!
