After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 191 The Prince is Deposed

The Queen and the Crown Prince both went limp. The Crown Prince was well prepared, so he just gave a miserable laugh. The Queen almost fell down, and was only able to stand firm after being supported by the personal maid behind her.

What on earth had happened?! His Majesty had never said such serious words to the prince. She would rather His Majesty beat and scold the prince than to hear His Majesty say these words so calmly.

Based on her understanding of His Majesty, this was a complete disappointment!

"No, Your Majesty, have you misunderstood the Crown Prince? Crown Prince! Hurry up and apologize to your father!" The Queen began to panic and shouted at the Crown Prince who was kneeling on the ground.

The prince was already daydreaming at the moment. When he suddenly heard his mother's words, he raised his head with tears in his eyes. He ignored the queen and looked at Emperor Jingyuan on the bed with sarcasm in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing.

"I know I'm wrong. I'll take my leave!" The prince said with difficulty, and then turned around and left without hesitation. He didn't even pay attention to the queen standing beside him. But everyone saw that the prince's eyes were red and his legs were a little awkward.

The moment the prince turned and left, Emperor Jingyuan's old eyes instantly became moist.

This is his legitimate son, it is impossible for him not to love him. He is happy and looking forward to the arrival of the prince. He has done his best to train him and wants to train him into a qualified heir. Therefore, he has completely different attitude towards the prince and other sons. He is strict and ruthless to the prince, but he is more lenient towards the other sons.

But the prince's temperament needed to be tempered. He was content with the status quo and not decisive enough. If he took on important responsibilities in the future, he would definitely be controlled by ministers and become a puppet emperor. So he intended to temper him from another angle. He deliberately set up several obstacles for the prince, such as the second and third brothers, so that he would feel the crisis at any time, so that people could grow up. However, he did not expect that the prince would become so extreme in the end.

"Everyone get out." Emperor Jingyuan spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing this, everyone dared not disobey.

Only Li Jin was left in the room.

Qi You looked at Emperor Jingyuan worriedly, then followed Prince Rui, the princess and others out of the door.

Qi Heng and a group of princes and princesses were in extremely low spirits. Their father was really good to the crown prince, so good to them that none of them could help but be jealous. However, that was the child born by the queen, and the emperor's legitimate son. This was something they could never compare to in their entire lives.

Even though many of them didn't know what the prince had done wrong, judging from the emperor's expression, he must have done something very wrong. Yet, his father actually shed tears for the prince, and everyone smiled bitterly in their hearts.

Even those who were not aware of the situation were like this, so the jealousy of the few princes who knew the situation towards the prince probably reached its peak at this moment.

The virtuous concubine came over at some point, patted Qi Heng's shoulder, and there was a flickering look in her eyes.

Seeing this, Qi Heng smiled at Concubine Xian.

He had understood all these things a long time ago. Fortunately, among all his brothers, his father treated him well. He knew that in his father's heart, the prince was incomparable to any of their princes. He might have been sad before, but not now.

Seeing her son's relieved smile, Concubine Xian felt relieved. As long as he didn't dwell on the issue, it was good.

Immediately, the children from Prince Rui's mansion surrounded Concubine Xian. Qi You stood quietly aside, not knowing what he was thinking, until Concubine Xian pulled him over.

After the imperial physician came out again to report that the emperor's condition was not serious and he would be fine after taking medicine for a few days, many people who came to visit Emperor Jingyuan went back one after another.

At this moment, the princess was talking to Prince Rui.

"Take the children back home first." Qi Heng spoke to the princess with gentle eyes. He should be back late today.

"Yes, Your Highness." After the princess said this, she was about to leave with Qi You and others, but she didn't expect that Li Jin would come over with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, everyone in Prince Rui's mansion looked puzzled.

"This old servant pays his respects to the Empress Xian, His Royal Highness Prince Rui, and Princess Rui. His Majesty asked the Fifth Young Master to stay and talk to him tonight." While Li Jin was speaking, he kept his eyes on Qi You who was standing beside him.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian and everyone in Prince Rui's mansion looked at Qi You.

Qi You was soon taken away by Li Jin.

This scene was seen by everyone who had not left yet, and everyone once again had a new understanding of the fact that Qi You was favored by Emperor Jingyuan.

Not only these people, but Prince Rui and Princess Rui also felt it deeply.

Princess Rui, in particular, felt both jealous and fortunate.

What made him jealous was that the grandson that Emperor Jingyuan loved was not his own son. Fortunately, Qi You was from the Rui Palace, which was better than the grandsons of other palaces who were favored by Emperor Jingyuan.

Soon, everyone was sent back, leaving only Qi You to accompany Emperor Jingyuan.

As Qi You entered Emperor Jingyuan's bedroom, he saw Emperor Jingyuan trying to get up, so Qi You hurried over and supported him.

"Grandfather, why don't you rest for a while?" He had just woken up and his body was limp. He was a little disapproving.

Seeing Qi You's frown and serious face, Emperor Jingyuan's depressed and uncomfortable mood finally eased a little.

"It's okay. Grandfather doesn't want to lie in bed. He's very bored. You'er, help Grandfather out. Let's play chess."

Qi You heard this and nodded, "Okay."

Then, the grandfather and grandson played several rounds back and forth, with each winning and losing, but Qi You still found that his grandfather's mood had not improved at all and he was still distracted.

Qi You didn't know what to say. He just played chess in silence and gave in without making a single expression. In the end, it was obvious that Emperor Jingyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This kid was rarely used as a chess piece in the past.

When he looked up at him, he saw the little person looking at him with worry in his eyes. When he realized that he had discovered it, he pretended to be casual and lowered his head to look at the chessboard carefully.

"My great grandfather lost." Emperor Jingyuan put down the chess piece and leaned back in his chair.

Qi You fell silent as he looked at the chess piece that would lose in just a few moves, and instantly lost the mood to play chess anymore.

Qi You was sent back home by Xiao Shuanzi early the next morning, and he came back with a number of rewards.

"Mom!" Qi You hadn't seen his mother all night and missed her very much, so he started calling for her in the yard.

Qiao Rongjin was a little worried when she learned last night that her son was kept in the palace by Emperor Jingyuan, but she felt relieved after hearing what Prince Rui said.

She heard her son's voice just after she got up, and she subconsciously ran out of the door. She was a little surprised to see that her son really came back, because she thought her son would not be back until the afternoon at least.

"How was your stay in the palace last night? Where did you rest?"

"I was resting in my grandfather's Chengqian Palace and had a good sleep. My grandfather went to court today and asked me to come back first."

Last night, before going to bed, the royal grandfather suddenly became interested in chatting with him. He listened to the royal grandfather talk about many things about the prince's childhood. He talked for a long time. Qi You could see that the royal grandfather cared about the prince. Yesterday, he seemed to have made up his mind, so he was in pain. He kept telling him about how well-behaved and sensible the prince was, until he couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin was very surprised. So, her son slept on the dragon bed?

"Well, just have a good rest. Come on, have breakfast." Qiao Rongjin didn't ask much. As long as he knew that the child didn't suffer any injustice, it was good enough.

After eating and having breakfast, Qi You went to the front yard for class.

Then, after this morning's court session, the whole Shengjing city changed.

Because the prince was deposed!
