Chapter 249 Demoted to Common People
At the critical moment, the most important thing is to protect your family.
After the imperial edict was read out, there was silence in the prince's mansion. Even the prince himself who was awakened found it incredible.
"What did you say? Father wants to abandon me? He also wants to break my hands and feet?"
"This is impossible, impossible. I am the crown prince appointed by my father. How could he depose me for no reason?"
"(⊙︿⊙)"
The father-in-law who came to read the announcement had a mocking look in his eyes. For no reason?
All the slaves and maids found dead in the prince's mansion could be buried in a mass grave, and there was not a single good spot on the bodies of those tragically dead girls, and yet he still said he was innocent.
He was also a servant in the palace, so naturally he was more compassionate to the servants. Since his master did not treat them as human beings, they could only support each other.
If the matter had not been exposed, he would never have known that the gentle and graceful prince in front of him was actually a beast, a beast in human form but a devil.
Thinking of this, his attitude became even colder. He waved his hand and the guards came forward with sticks in their hands.
"According to the emperor's order, cripple the common people's hands and feet. Go ahead."
The prince was already seriously injured and was now kneeling on the ground unable to move. He was filled with fear as he watched them walking towards him.
"Someone, someone, come and protect me."
"You servants must be forging the imperial edict. How could the emperor depose me? It's impossible."
"I want to see my father. I want to see my father."
"what--"
The sticks fell on him, and then the swords cut the tendons in his hands and feet. The pain made him scream, with fear in his eyes.
His legs were literally broken, and he couldn't lift his arms.
If he didn't get treatment in time, he would have no chance of becoming emperor. Realizing this, he started shouting again.
"Why don't you call the imperial physician for me, please hurry up--"
He looked viciously at the person who was reading the imperial edict in front of him, with undisguised malice, as if he wanted to tear the person into pieces.
The eunuch and the guard who were reading the announcement were both shocked and their eyelids began to throb.
With a ruthless heart, he said, "According to the emperor's intention, the crown prince should be deposed and his life should be stopped. You guys can be more accurate in your actions."
"If something unexpected happens, you could lose your life."
The guards got goosebumps when they heard this. They looked at each other and took a few steps forward.
The prince was so frightened that he crawled back, shouting, "Don't come over here, don't come over here. I am Nanxu's prince. If the emperor finds out, I will kill you."
"what----"
There were a few more earth-shattering screams. This time, the bones in the prince's joints were shattered beyond repair. Even a god could not put them together.
When he was leaving, one of the guards turned around to take a look, and hit the prince on the head with a stick again.
He sneered, "You love to play with people's lives, but have you ever thought that one day you will die at the hands of others?"
"If you haven't turned into a fool, then you are lucky. If you are unlucky, then it is fate."
Why was there no one crying or howling in the Prince's Mansion? Because the moment the guards came in, they covered their mouths and wiped their necks.
Everyone was dead, leaving only corpses and blood. The only one who was still breathing was the prince lying on the ground.
So he was stupid. He never understood the situation clearly. He should have kept his mouth shut when everyone around him was dying.
A flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the cloudless sky, which was the pride of heaven.
"Hehe~~~ I've already told you, no matter how bad the little girl is, she's the only one that can bully her."
"Others are nothing. Even if the old emperor's ancestors come, they have to give way."
The people in the capital were all terrified.
He stayed indoors for several days, and only started to move around half a month later when nothing else happened in the capital.
After the old emperor felt better, he quietly left the palace and went to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
Everyone was surprised to see the emperor leaving the palace in incognito clothes, and Xia Yunle hurriedly led everyone to pay their respects.
"Stand up, I'm here to see Ning Bao, go and do what needs to be done."
He smiled and looked at the gray-haired Master Yan, and asked in a friendly tone: "It's been a long time since we last met. Master, you look very well. That's great."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am old now, and my children are filial and I live a comfortable life. That's why I am in better health."
The two of them walked slowly while chatting, and in just a cup of tea they arrived at the Glazed Pavilion.
The old emperor looked at the exquisite plants and trees inside, nodded and said with a smile: "Left Prime Minister is really thoughtful. I guess this Glazed Pavilion must be the largest courtyard in the palace."
"Indeed, my son-in-law is a girl at heart. His eyes are full of Ning Bao. Sometimes even Yan Er feels jealous."
"Hahahaha... That's great. Ning Bao is indeed worthy of love. I like him too."
He walked to the bedside and looked at the motionless Xia Yining. He was obviously much thinner and was like a completely different person compared to before.
"Didn't she get some food?"
Master Yan's eyes turned red and he said, "I have fed him. The family has been cooking medicinal food and feeding him three times a day, but he is still losing weight."
"However, the women in the family said that although Ning Bao has lost weight, he has grown taller, which means that his body is still growing in all aspects. The doctor also checked and said it is a good thing."
"Well, I will find a few skilled doctors from the Imperial Hospital and let them take charge of the medicinal food."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her and talking in a low voice.
"The one who bullied you has been dealt with. Don't worry about your family being implicated. You need to wake up quickly."
"I am old now, I don't know how long I can hold on."
"When you wake up and choose an emperor yourself, I can become the emperor emeritus, and then I will leave the palace and live with you in your old age. After I die, all the ancestors will envy me, hahaha..."
"O(n_n)O haha~"
Master Yan:
I was speechless, shocked and scared by what he said, and thought about kneeling down.
When the old emperor saw this, he reprimanded him: "Don't kneel down all the time. After all, he is a real teacher. If others tell others, they will think I don't respect my teacher."
"Since you are not comfortable staying here, go sit outside. I still want to talk to Ning Bao."
Master Yan had no choice but to pay his respects and then sit outside the screen. He could see what was going on inside, including the voices, clearly.
He was mainly worried about the safety of his granddaughter, otherwise he would have left long ago.
The old emperor didn't care what he thought, he just continued to talk to the person on the bed.
"Eh~~~"
"It's really boring if you don't come to talk to me. Those people are afraid of my cruelty."
"They are afraid that I will chop off their heads if I am unhappy. This is the misunderstanding of me by the world. Who wants to kill people for fun?"
"Unlike you, Ning Bao, who got close to me the first time he saw me and even pulled my beard to play with me."
"You don't know that I have been keeping my beard long, and only trim it occasionally, just to make it easier for you to hold it."
"Hurry up and wake up. I will pull your beard and take you back to the sacred mountain."
