Chapter 77: Someone cheated in the imperial examination! (1 / 2)
The Crown Prince found it completely absurd after hearing all this.
Why blame me for having a big heart? And how does the Jibei King get so angry over this that he spits blood?
Besides, I don’t even want to be emperor anymore. My health is so poor that I don’t know when I might drop dead. Am I not allowed to indulge in things I enjoy before that happens?
With this thought, the Crown Prince felt a newfound confidence. Even when faced with the ministers’ strange gazes, he remained calm. Not just calm, but even a bit gleeful.
—Surely, seeing him in this lazy state, the ministers would be terribly disappointed and would try to find a way to replace him as the Crown Prince, right? Yes, once he was entirely stripped of his title, he wouldn’t have to work anymore. Then, he could move next door to Xu Yanmiao and watch the drama unfold every day!
The Emperor immediately saw through the Crown Prince’s thoughts and let out a “tsk” in irritation. He turned his gaze toward the foolish-looking Crown Grandson and felt his temper flare up again—but it wouldn’t do to erupt in the harem.
“To the Wuying Hall.”
The tone was light but carried no room for rejection.
“Guards, bind the Crown Grandson. Escort the two princesses back first.”
