Ye Xiuming looked very sad: "Father, I didn't want to go this far. You forced me to do this."

"Father, the entire palace is now under the control of this son."

"Don't worry, I will make Tiansheng better and better."

Ye Xu's eyes were filled with disappointment and he looked heartbroken: "Ming'er, do you really think you have control over the entire palace?"

Looking at the people around him, Ye Xiuming said confidently: "Of course...!"

Ye Xu shook his head: "Ming'er, you are too self-righteous."

Hearing this, Ye Xiuming frowned.

What does Father mean by this?

Could it be that my father still has a backup plan?

Ye Xu steadied himself a little, his eyes becoming deep and sharp.

Concubine Xian said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you...!"

Ye Xu shook his head, reached out and patted the back of Concubine Xian's hand, and comforted her softly: "I'm fine."

Ye Xu staggered down and came face to face with his second son.

"Ming'er, father has already received a secret letter and knows that a prince will force me to give up the throne today."

"But I never thought that this person would be you, Ming'er. I still can't believe that you would be such a rebellious person."

"But what you are doing now makes me very disappointed."

“Someone come here…!” Ye Xu turned around and gave an order.

A large number of people and horses immediately rushed in from outside the Qingxin Palace, some holding sharp arrows and some holding scimitars.

"Your Majesty, I will be here."

Seeing the Royal Guards coming in, Ye Xiuming, Zhui Ri and others were stunned.

"This is impossible." Ye Xiuming shook his head, unable to believe what he saw.

"The Imperial Guards have all been...!"

"Hahahaha! Father, I am your son, and you actually used a trick to lure me into a trap. You have such a cruel heart!"

Ye Xiuming put down the sword in his hand with a clang, and said with a look of despair: "I admit defeat...!"

Seeing this, the others also put down their weapons.

"…………!"

Time goes back to three days ago.

Qianqing Palace.

Ye Xu looked at the secret letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Eunuch Gao: "Your Majesty, a secret letter...?"

Ye Xu handed the secret letter in his hand to Eunuch Gao and sighed: "The secret letter says: On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a prince will plot to usurp the throne and force me to abdicate."

Eunuch Gao stared at the contents of the secret letter with wide eyes: "Your Majesty, what should we do? Should we still hold the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?"

Ye Xu's eyes were like torches, and he spoke slowly: "Do it, how can I not do it? I want to see who this daring son is."

Ye Xu closed his eyes: "Second Prince Ye Xiuming is trying to seize power and usurp the throne! This crime is unforgivable...!"

"Your Majesty...!" Just when Ye Xu wanted to continue speaking, the Queen had already hugged his thighs.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "I beg the Emperor to spare Ming'er this time...!"

"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"

"Your Majesty, it's not like you don't know what kind of personality Ming'er has."

Ye Xu pointed at those people and roared, "Queen, look at the weapons in their hands. The soldiers outside the city gate are all privately raised by the Second Brother."

"The prince privately forged weapons and raised soldiers. What crime is that?"

"According to the Heavenly Saint Law, he should be beheaded...!"

When the queen heard the words "beheaded", her legs went limp with fear!

Su Qingyu's hands were shaking at this time.

Why is this Second Prince going crazy every day?

He actually wanted to seize power and usurp the throne! Fortunately, I haven't married him yet, otherwise I would have lost my head too.

How dangerous!

"No, no...! Your Majesty, Ming'er is your son, you can't kill him." The Queen shook her head and said with a choked voice.

"Your Majesty, considering that the Murong family has been loyal for generations and has made great contributions to Tiansheng, I beg Your Majesty to let Ming'er go."

"Your Majesty, I don't want the position of Queen anymore. I just ask Your Majesty to let Ming'er go this time."

The queen was in tears as she spoke.

After these words were spoken, all the concubines present lowered their eyes and remained silent!

This queen has always valued her position the most, but now she is willing to give it up.

Ye Xiuming opened his eyes and looked at his mother, his eyes a little guilty: "I'm sorry, mother, I have disappointed you after all."

Ye Xu's eyes also became moist, and his tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed.

"Empress, the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"

The queen wiped the tears and snot from the corners of her eyes.

The queen, who usually paid the most attention to her appearance, looked very embarrassed at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I only have Ming'er as my child. I hope Your Majesty will spare Ming'er's life for the sake of our marriage over the years."

"Just expel Ming'er from the capital!"

"Ye Xu...!" Suddenly, the oppressive voice of the emperor came from outside the door.

Everyone looked at the emperor.

Seeing the Emperor, the Queen knelt forward and said, "Father, Father, please save Ming'er. I cannot lose Ming'er. He is my life! Father...!"

Ye Xu bowed to the emperor: "Father...!"

The retired emperor glanced at Ye Xiuming, his favorite grandson, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Ye Xiuming lowered his head and didn't dare to look his grandfather in the eye.

"Ye Xu, Ming'er did not make the weapons privately. These were all granted by me." The emperor spoke in a calm tone.

When these words were spoken, everyone present was surprised.

Isn’t this emperor telling lies with his eyes wide open?

Ye Xu was also surprised: "Father, why do you make weapons?"

The Emperor glared at Ye Xu and said, "Do I need to report to you what I have built?"

Ye Xu was choked and couldn't speak for a moment!

Father, is it really okay for you to protect your child so blatantly?

"Ming'er is still young and ignorant, which is why he did such a rebellious thing today."

"Ye Xu, from today on, Ming'er will be stripped of his title of prince and demoted to a commoner!"

Since the emperor had spoken, Ye Xu couldn't say anything, and others dared not say anything even more.

Ye Xu lowered his eyes: "Yes, Father...!"

"Come here, draft an edict!" Ye Xu's voice echoed in the empty hall, with unquestionable majesty: "The Second Prince Ye Xiuming has committed treason, and his status as a prince is hereby revoked and he is demoted to a commoner!"

Ye Xiuming knelt down on his knees: "I accept your order...!"

The queen felt heartbroken when she saw her son, who had grown up in luxury and now called himself a commoner.

The eyes of the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Seventh Prince were full of sympathy.

The Third Prince stood aside, watching all this coldly, without any sympathy in his heart.

Then several imperial guards came in and drove Ye Xiuming away.

Everyone watched him leave!

The queen couldn't stop crying.

Ming'er, your mother is sorry and can't help you!

I can only watch you go from being a high and mighty prince to a commoner with nothing.

Ye Xiuming looked at everything around him and couldn't help but recall his past memories, and his eyes became moist.

However, all this is irreversible.
