Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Chapter 266: King Cheng asked to be demoted to Prince Cheng, shocking the court and the public!

Chen Bo smiled and said indifferently, "Anyway, you decide for yourself what price we can accept."

"Now that you don't want Princess Cheng to die, what should we do?"

King Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you just want me to pay a certain price?!"

"It's very simple. I'll give you a batch of silver. Is 100,000 taels enough?!"

"Let's put an end to this matter!"

The prince immediately laughed: "One hundred thousand taels of silver?!"

"Do you think you can buy the life of a duke, or two dukes, or the life of a second-rank prince's wife?"

The prince said coldly: "You need to know your current identity!"

"Prince Cheng, your current identity is just a prince, but Chen Zhining is a two-character prince, and she is the legitimate daughter-in-law of the queen! Chen Zhining gave birth to two county princes!"

"By then, these 100,000 taels of silver will not be enough to solve the problem. Think about it carefully."

"If you don't think carefully... this 100,000 taels of silver is probably the funeral expenses for your wife."

"!!!"

Hearing this, King Cheng immediately ignored everything and said quickly.

"Wait! Brother!"

"In that case, let's make it a deal here."

"I was demoted from a prince to a duke, what do you think?!"

Demoted from prince to duke...this is not bad.

The two of them looked at each other, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then you should go to the palace and apologize to His Majesty yourself."

"We both have other things to do and can't accompany you."

"Yes."

The prince nodded with a smile, "I haven't discussed with Chen Bo what kind of letter I should send to Jiang Zhao..."

"Although the relationship between Jiang Zhao and I has become much worse now, he must be happy to hear that you, King Cheng, have fallen on hard times here."

"you......!!!"

King Cheng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, said nothing, and rode straight to the palace.

"..."

His figure gradually faded away.

Chen Bo and the prince looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and laughed at the same time.

The prince took one look at Chen Bo and couldn't help but admire him, "You are really a smart strategist. No wonder Jiang Zhao wanted to hand Chen Zhining over to you to take care of him when he left Kyoto."

"I just thought it was because you are Chen Zhining's brother. I didn't expect it was because you are so smart and cunning."

"...Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. As the saying goes, all is fair in war."

Chen Bo was very calm.

He exudes a natural aura and looks elegant and calm.

Even the crown prince seemed no match for him in his shrewdness and calculations, which was totally inconsistent with his bookish air.

This way, King Cheng could directly tell the emperor that everything was his fault and that he would request to be demoted to a prince.

With his impulsive and love-minded personality, he would probably expose himself as soon as he rushed into the palace.

Once he exposed himself and said that he was going to be demoted to a prince, no one could stop him.

Even if the emperor didn't want to demote Prince Cheng to a prince...he couldn't stop it.

Chen Bo took out an ebony fan without any words on it from somewhere and started fanning it. This was a gift from Chen Zhining to him.

When Prince Cheng enters the palace, he will realize that the Emperor never said that Princess Cheng should be killed, and that they were lying to Prince Cheng.

King Cheng must be very angry.

But he spoke too quickly and had already asked to go down, so what could be done about it?

......

Late in the evening, the news that Prince Cheng had been demoted to a prince came directly from the palace.

The news spread throughout Kyoto very quickly!

After everyone knew the news, they were all stunned.

"This... His Royal Highness Prince Cheng didn't seem to have done anything wrong, so how come he suddenly became a prince?"

"I don't know about this matter, but before, there were several ministers from the lineage of Prince Cheng who did something wrong. His Majesty caught them and scolded them in the imperial study. I'm afraid it was because of this matter."

"Yes, at that time, when the Ninth Prince's Consort was giving birth, His Majesty, the Empress, the Queen Mother and the others were all there, so they probably didn't take care of this matter. Now that he thinks about it, he must be even angrier."

"...Well, it's just right. While the Ninth Prince's Consort is having a baby boy and the royal family is celebrating, let's use this as an excuse to ask for mercy for His Royal Highness Prince Cheng."

"I can't really be demoted to a prince."

"..."

Unexpectedly, when the emperor saw some ministers kneeling and begging for mercy at night, using Chen Zhining as an excuse, he became even angrier for some reason.

He smashed all the teacups and made all the ministers kneel in the palace. They knelt for the whole night and almost froze to death the next day.

No one knew why the emperor was so angry, but seeing this look...it felt like there was probably no room for maneuver in this matter.

So what? If King Cheng is demoted to a prince of a county, then so be it.

Anyway, in this capital, even if King Ying and King Cheng are princes, they are not as powerful as Chen Zhining, a princess.

The one that the emperor and empress are holding in their hands now is Chen Zhining.

No matter whether he is a prince or not, he is not as good as half a finger.

If a woman could be crowned a king, Chen Zhining would have been crowned a second-character prince long ago~

The Queen lives in the Ninth Prince's Palace and is reluctant to leave.

King Ying and King Cheng both gathered in King Cheng's palace in a very embarrassed state.

King Ying and King Cheng both have many aides, and they are all gathered together at this moment.

Originally, King Ying and King Cheng were at odds with each other, but in recent times, their relationship has been quite good. So, although these aides were at odds with each other before, now they have gathered together and will kill each other without even seeing each other.

Everyone gathered together and was a little silent at this time.

They looked at the two big slaps on King Cheng's face, which were bright red and even swollen, and felt very miserable.

They couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness Prince Cheng... er, Your Highness Prince Jun, what on earth is going on?!"

"Why did His Majesty punish you so harshly?"

"Yes, His Majesty doesn't seem to have any room for negotiation. Even if we bring up Chen Zhining and her two newly born little princes, His Majesty doesn't show any joy. He even seems to be angrier."

"That's enough, stop talking!"

Prince Cheng said coldly: "The reason why I am like this this time is because of Chen Zhining!"
