So Feng Qingyang still wanted to continue stalling for time. But at this moment, Lingsu was already impatient.
"Will you write the decree to depose the Crown Prince or not? I tell you, Feng Qingyang, don’t think of playing tricks in front of me, my patience is limited." Lingsu said coldly, with an expression that saw through Feng Qingyang’s intentions.
Did they really think she was foolish?
Wasn’t he just waiting for Feng Qiwu to come?
"No matter who comes today, they cannot stop me; Feng Qiwu, no matter how formidable, will not be my match." Lingsu said with utmost confidence.
Feng Qingyang listened, so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Never in his life had he been threatened so disgracefully!
Even when things didn’t go smoothly before he ascended the throne, he had never encountered a situation like this.
But he still had no choice but to do as the other side said.
For a moment, Feng Qingyang couldn’t help but say hatefully, "I’ll write it!"
With that, he picked up the brush and, with a slightly trembling right arm, wrote a decree deposing the Crown Prince.
This decree, Feng Qingyang had wanted to write countless times, so naturally his writing was divinely inspired, and he finished it quickly.
Seeing this, Feng Wuchen couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy inside.
That lunatic Feng Qiwu, is he really deposed?
Although Lingsu was impulsive and reckless, he had to admit, her move was really effective.
Indeed, strength is very important.
He couldn’t wait for the day when the Star Power resurged.
Since he was the chosen one, by then, he would certainly be a genius in cultivation!
Once his cultivation surpassed Lingsu, he would be able to push her aside and do what he wanted.
...
However, Feng Wuchen did not notice that his every move and subtle expression were fully captured by Prime Minister Bai.
Seeing the uncontrollable joy in Feng Wuchen’s eyes, Prime Minister Bai lowered his gaze with a trace of mockery.
Sure enough, this matter was related to the Third Prince.
He had quite the skill; who knew what method he used to command the reclusive family cultivators.
But if he thought that this would ensure his success, he was gravely mistaken.
Moreover, he still didn’t know that his throne was only available because the Crown Prince didn’t want it.
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Bai quickly bowed his head.
At this time, Feng Qingyang turned somewhat disheartened to Li Cheng, "Go announce the decree!"
He only hoped that after the Crown Prince got wind of it, he would rebel out of reluctance.
Otherwise, things might truly be irreparable.
...
Hearing Feng Qingyang’s words, Li Cheng promptly and cautiously stepped forward to take the decree, "This servant obeys the decree."
Then, holding the decree to depose the Crown Prince, he walked out of the Imperial Study Room.
Then, in front of the civil and military officials, he proclaimed the decree to depose the Crown Prince.
The civil and military officials, upon hearing the decree, couldn’t help but look at each other in confusion.
The Emperor suddenly summoned them, and it was actually to depose the Crown Prince?
But hadn’t the Emperor previously said that, regardless of what the Crown Prince did, he would never abolish his position as Crown Prince?
Why had he changed his mind today?
However, the instability of the Crown Prince’s illness was indeed a significant issue.
He was fine while he was still the Crown Prince, but once he ascended the throne and still had occasional relapses, it would be the common people who would suffer.
Thinking this way, many ministers accepted the decree to depose the Crown Prince without objection.
As for Feng Qiwu’s confidants, they were somewhat panicked inside.
They didn’t know whether the Crown Prince was aware that the Emperor had deposed him.
What should be done now?
...
