The Captivating Crown Prince Chapter 270

"Your majesty, it has been a long time since the Minister of the Left has gone to court for such irresponsible actions. This subject believes that the Emperor should retract his position as Minister of the Left!" A few officials stood up. Perhaps they were still afraid of Huan Mo Che being in the imperial court, but after a while, Huan Mo Che became more and more arrogant.

"Your majesty, the crown prince, as the head of the Eastern Palace, has actually not ascended to the throne for many days. This time, he can't take on the responsibility of being the crown prince!" The officials started talking to each other while Emperor Shang's face turned darker and darker as he sat on the throne. These people were not only trying to force him into the position of crown prince, they were even trying to snatch it from him?

"Then according to what my beloved official said, who should be the one to shoulder the position of crown prince?" In the past, these people were afraid of the prestige of the crown prince and the Minister of the Left and did not dare to touch them. But now, they were all jumping up and down, and even some of the neutral officials were showing signs of defying them.

In the past, even as a prince, he could only stand at the back of the court. The feeling of standing in front of the court made Shang Anxiao feel like he was the crown prince, and he wondered what it would be like if he sat on the dragon throne while looking at his father, who sat on the throne.

"This official believes that the fourth prince has a gentle personality and is intelligent. He is able to become the head of the Eastern Palace Clan!" An official stood out, followed by some other officials. Some of them were even old officials.

This son of his had always been regarded as his duty. Although he did not pay much attention to his son's pampering, he still allowed him to have him as much as he wanted. He did not want others to feel that he was unsatisfied with his son, or that he had been deceived from the very beginning by this son of his who looked like he lived outside the imperial court. After sitting on the throne for so many years, even though Emperor Shang's temperament had not changed, some of the dragon's might was still cultivated. As an emperor, it was very taboo for people to deceive him, not to mention that it was his own son. Thinking about his son who had died one by one, Emperor Shang looked at his fourth son with a complicated expression. It seemed that he could not protect his son any longer. His life was indeed in danger!

"Fourth Bro, you say?" No matter what he said, it would be unfair. As the emperor, sooner or later he would lose all sense of justice, but now that the crown prince was standing there, he felt that he could actually do such a thing. After all, his daughter had the ability to suppress these people.

Shang An Cang looked at his father, who was sitting on the throne, and saw the confusion and regret in his father's eyes. Shang An Cang lowered his head and covered up a prince who was indifferent to fame and fortune, "Father, your son cannot bear the responsibility!"

Before the court official could even compliment the emperor, Emperor Shang spoke up, "Since fourth elder thinks so, then I will not force you. fourth elder thinks that he does not have the ability to sit high in the east palace, what else do you have to say?"

He knew that his royal father was biased against him, but he never thought that his royal father would be biased against him in such a way. Now that the whereabouts of the crown prince were unknown, yet royal father was actually unwilling to give his seat to him. A father like this … The hand behind Shang An Cang's back made a gesture to the official.

"Please reconsider, Your Majesty! Right now, the Eastern Palace's hanging in the air is truly against the nation's constitution. I hope that the Emperor can confirm the matter of the Crown Prince as soon as possible! " As the voices rang out in the hall, Emperor Shang's face turned cold. He would never let his daughter lose her position as Crown Prince. As his father, he must protect his daughter.

Just as Emperor Shang was about to make his decision, a low voice sounded out in the great hall. "I didn't know when I would disappear, but even the position of crown prince has to be given up? Crown Prince? I am right here, which one of the ministers would like to call a crown prince? "

The crowd looked at the two people who walked into the hall. They were the crown prince and Zuo Xiang, both of whom had disappeared from view. Everyone opened their mouths in shock.

The crown prince slowly walked over. He wore a robe woven from golden threads and had a silver ribbon around his waist. His ink-black hair was tied up with a silver crown. On it, a red ruby the size of a pigeon's egg was inlaid, dazzling to the eye. She lazily walked as she looked at the ministers one by one. Some of the ministers didn't even dare raise their heads when they were stared at, while the evil smile on the crown prince's face became even deeper.

The person who stood side by side with the crown prince was the Minister of the Left who was dressed in a blue robe. He had a handsome figure like a scholar's bamboo, and a calm expression on his handsome face. He looked at the officials, focusing on some of his subordinates, and glanced at those traitorous officials for a while longer. The Minister of the Left's eyes were still smiling, but it made his hair stand on end.

"Father, this son is late!" Shang Bin was so excited that he was about to stand up, but he still bowed and greeted the emperor with a slight bow. This was enough for the emperor to be more clear-headed. Emperor Shang looked down at his daughter below to ensure that she was indeed safe and sound before letting out a sigh of relief.

Emperor Shang nodded and spoke with a serious expression on his face, "The crown prince is standing here now, do all the ministers have anything else to say?" As an emperor, he had the sadness of an emperor. It seemed like he held power, but which emperor didn't have power? Thus, he had to be wary of this and that, and only hoped that his daughter wouldn't sit in the same position as him, the Puppet Emperor, for so many years.

Emperor Shang didn't have the heart to look at the Emperor Shang who defended himself with every word. Emperor Shang's hair was black, and his eyes were black, but he still noticed the white hair hidden in the dragon's crown. He still remembered the first time he saw this so-called 'royal father's awareness' of his upright stature, but now, even though he was sitting on the Dragon Throne, his posture was a little crooked, was it because of him?

The officials did not dare to say anything, and all of them lowered their heads in silence. Those officials who had a clear conscience were glad that the crown prince and the Minister of the Left had returned. They had been suppressed to such an extent these past few days, and if it weren't for the emperor protecting them, many of the officials would have been killed.

Shang unintentionally walked step by step towards Shang An Cang, his voice carrying a sense of oppression, "Fourth Prince, this is my seat!" As he spoke, he ignored the ugly expression on Shang An Cang's face and directly stood in front of him. Shang An Cang's arrogant appearance startled many people.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been secretly visiting the capital recently to investigate the affairs of the people. This official was worried, so I decided to accompany him. I didn't expect that the capital would have such rumors." As officials of the high halls, it was against the rules for them to act like a shrew in the city. "This official thinks that those who spread the rumors should make an example of this matter by setting a 50 per cent chance!" Huan Mo Che said with his hands cupped in front of his chest, and there was a trace of anger in his voice. How could he tolerate these people trying to pull Shang Bin down as Crown Prince? He had entered the imperial court to help Shang Bin, but he did not expect his men to betray him so quickly. It was indeed good!

Before the court officials could beg for mercy, they heard Emperor Shang's final command, "Men, drag these people down and beat them to a pulp. The beloved officials in the imperial court should be learning by now!" With that, he left the court.

Those officials who wanted to come forward to express their condolences were stopped by Huan Mo Che. He smiled warmly at Shang Xin, and nodded gratefully before leaving. As the crown prince, he was supposed to be high and mighty, but the relationships between these officials had to be handled well. Shang Wuxin was a little impatient with social events, but being impatient did not mean that he was not good at it, but it did not mean that he was bad at it. Ever since he saw that he did not like this kind of situation, Huanmo Che had taken on these tasks himself, and just now, Huanmo Che had done this because he knew that Shang Wuxin wanted to see the emperor.

When Shang carelessly entered the royal study, Steward Hai had already arranged some food, and the emperor had just sat there waiting without dealing with the papers. When he saw Shang carelessly enter the study, he smiled to himself, sooner or later he would be shocked by this daughter of his.

"Father!" Shang Wuxin gave a slight bow before sitting down.

"As long as you're safe!" Even though there were so many things he wanted to tell his daughter, the relationship between the two of them had been a little awkward since that incident. He took out his wine cup to drink with his daughter, but he did not expect Shang to snatch the wine pot away from him.

"Father is now in such a terrible condition, do you really want this son of yours to ascend to the throne as soon as possible?" Such outrageous words seemed to come out of Shang's mouth as if it was said in a very ordinary manner, even the Emperor did not feel the same discomfort as when he first spoke.

"Little girl, can't you just say something good out of your mouth?" Although his daughter's every move was beautiful, she was not as delicate and gentle as her family, and it was unknown when he would be able to pick up his grandson.

Shang Chen was not in the mood to eat the meal prepared by the imperial kitchens, but he found that it was not as good as the cooking done by the crown prince's residence. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Father, if you want to hear anything good, just say it out!" His words made Emperor Shang choke again.

After using it, the Emperor suddenly moved the armrest on top of the Dragon Throne in the imperial study. The armrest was actually opened by a mechanism, and the Emperor took out a box from inside the study. The Emperor looked at the Emperor with a complicated look in his eyes.

"This is the Imperial Jade Seal!" Xin'er, if you want the throne, royal father can just give it to you, but from now on, you can't take any more risks than you have this time! " Emperor Shang had handed the Imperial Jade Seal to Shang, and for the past few days he had been blaming himself for being too harsh on his daughter, which was why his daughter almost lost her life in the battle with the Qing Kingdom.

Without saying anything, Shang Guanxin accepted it straightforwardly, but his voice carried a hint of pride, "This son of the Jade Seal accepted it, but this son of the emperor wishes to take it himself! royal father's illness is so serious, let's go to the crown prince's mansion to recuperate! "

Emperor Shang also understood that his daughter was trying to eradicate the Duke of Qing's faction. He had been waiting for so many years to plan for this matter, but he didn't expect his daughter to be more scheming than him.

"Father has some power in his hands …"

"No need, royal father is just taking good care of his illness. The chef at the crown prince's residence is much better than the ones at the palace. royal father can rest in peace!" Although he did not feel uneasy due to that matter, this royal father's work had not disappointed him at all, and he would not disappoint his royal father.
