Chapter 476 - The Emperor Has Grown Bold (1/2)

That was downright slander.

The other ministers looked at the guy, only to discover that he was the leader of the Bai family.

In Southern Glory Empire, the leaders of the four major families had positions in court, and had to attend the grand audience.

The leader of the Bai family had two daughters, and one of them had sacrificed her own life to save Prince Zi.

He had thought that Prince Zi would take care of his family, but Prince Zi disfigured his other daughter over a random woman.

The leader of the Bai family was too infuriated to let it go, and this was the best time to get back at Prince Zi.

Provoked, the emperor slapped the throne and said, “Who says that he’ll be the crown prince? He’s already so arrogant when I’m still on the throne? I won’t let things go his way.”

Flying into a rage, the emperor stood up and stormed off.

The ministers were left behind as they looked at each other and didn’t know what to do.

Ye Huai glanced at the leader of the Bai family, but felt slightly confused himself.

What was wrong with Prince Zi? Why wasn’t he here when he was about to be named crown prince?

He had waited for this for years.

Now, the emperor had been given an excuse to postpone the naming of the crown prince.

After the audience, Ye Huai had no time to criticize the leader of the Bai family. Instead, he went to Prince Zi’s house in a hurry.

Feng Qingtian not attending the morning audience today had given the emperor a great opportunity.

It was possible for the emperor to live another one or two hundred years, and to remain on the throne during that time.

If that was the case, the only way to get the throne was to usurp it. Though it was unlikely to fail, it would tarnish Prince Zi’s reputation.

After Ye Huai arrived at Prince Zi’s house, Qin Shou shook his head at him. “The princess is still feeling uncomfortable. My lord has no time for anything else. It’s partly my fault too. I forgot to report it to His Majesty.”
