Chapter 290 - 292: Dugu Wu, You’re So Ruthless
Upon the arrival of the Royal Family’s horse carriage, the head and deputy head of Yuxiu Academy, along with all the female teachers, also arrived soon after.
The Empress, as always, carried herself with grace and opulence, but her normally composed face was slightly distorted due to anxiety.
She pushed aside the nanny’s supporting arm and stepped down from the horse carriage, unable to stop herself from muttering,
"How foolish, Cheng is truly too foolish."
Noble Princess Consort Xiao got off the carriage unhurriedly and, seeing the Empress both anxious and furious, felt an immense sense of satisfaction within.
The matter of Emperor Yongye considering the appointment of a new Crown Prince was no secret in the Imperial Palace.
The Seventh Prince, Dongfang Li, originally had a strong backing.
However, someone submitted a report against the Seventh Prince, accusing him of being engrossed in the pleasures of the flesh, having an illicit relationship with Miss Feng during the Xiahe Banquet; being so indulgent as a Prince, how could he set an example to the people as the Crown Prince.
Among the many Princes, except for the one who has been lying motionless for years, the others, more or less, all had some minor flaws. If everyone’s true character were to be fully scrutinized, only the blind Dongfang Mosheng would remain.
But how could a blind man be Crown Prince? Therefore, among the Princes, it turned out that Dongfang Cheng, the tallest among the dwarfs, came out on top.
But now, it turned out that Dongfang Cheng also had a clandestine affair with a female student from Yuxiu Academy; not only that, but he also overindulged to the point that the woman was almost played to death.
"Empress, Noble Princess Consort Xiao."
