Chapter 420 The Crown Prince was Demoted

Returning to the Duke's Mansion, the eldest princess called Li Ling to Luo'an Hall. Mother and son closed the door and talked for most of the night.

Jing Shu knew that Zhao Bi was a lustful and arrogant person. In order not to cause trouble, she would shirk whenever she could during the palace banquet. Today was a reception banquet specially set by Emperor Ming for Li Ling, so Jing Shu followed him into the palace.

But I never expected to encounter such a disaster again.

Li Ling was not here, and Jing Shu was sleepless. She leaned on the couch. As soon as she heard the sound of Li Ling's return, she rushed into his arms.

Li Ling hugged his wife tightly, carried her to the bed, and gently comforted her: "It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Although Li Ling's actions today were out of urgency, he had no intention of falling out with the prince. It would be better if Zhao Bi fell. Otherwise, when he succeeds to the throne in the future, it will be difficult for the government to survive.

With her keen intuition, Jing Shu felt that the eldest princess and Li Lingding had discussed something important.

Jingshu raised her head and asked Li Ling, "What did mother say to you?"

Li Ling replied: "My mother just complained to me when she saw that the prince was arrogant and rude, but she didn't say anything."

Jing Shu frowned and asked, "That's all?"

Li Ling nodded, reached out to touch his wife's hair, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I, Li Ling, have gotten to where I am today by virtue of my ability. Not anyone can shake me. I just offended Zhao."

Bi, he can't do anything to me."

Jingshu replied dully: "Of course he can't do anything to us now? I'm just worried about the future."

Li Ling comforted his wife and said, "You don't have to worry about the future. I have my own plans. Anyway, as long as I'm here, you just need to feel at ease."

Li Ling's words indeed gave Jingshu great comfort. She nodded towards Li Ling and replied: "Zhao Bi is really extremely arrogant. I will never enter the palace again."

Li Ling nodded in agreement, and then replied: "Zhao Bi is so rampant, I'm worried that he won't let it go even if you don't enter the palace. I'm often not at home, and I'm worried that he will hurt you when I'm not prepared. I plan to send you off tomorrow.

Go out and hide for a few days."

When Jing Shu heard this, she felt even more uneasy. She asked anxiously: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Li Ling comforted her and said: "You are thinking wildly, what can I hide from you? Besides, you are so smart, even if I hide it, I can't hide it from you."

As he said that, he pulled his wife into his arms and coaxed her gently: "Be obedient and just go out and hide for ten and a half months. I have made arrangements and I will send you there myself tomorrow."

Relying on the tacit understanding of living together with Li Ling for many years, Jing Shu concluded that Li Ling was hiding something from her. She insisted: "I won't go anywhere, I will always be by your side. I know that you must be hiding something from me, and it is a big matter."

.”

Li Ling's arm holding Jing Shu stiffened when he heard this. He lowered his head and kissed his wife on the forehead, and said softly: "Be good."

Jingshu stretched out her arms and hugged Li Ling back, and asked: "What's going on? Can you tell me? You're hiding it from me. I don't know how anxious I am."

Li Ling raised his hand and stroked Jingshu's back, and told her: "Just remember, no matter what happens, you just need to take care of yourself and your daughter."

When Jing Shu heard this, she burst into tears. She grabbed Li Ling's lapel tightly and asked, "What happened? I beg you not to leave me."

Li Ling hugged his wife, looked at her and said with a smile: "How could I leave you and say stupid things?"

After saying that, he let go of his wife and got out of bed, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea for himself, held it in front of his wife, gently wiped her tears, and coaxed her: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

No, you just need to live outside with Sister Bao for ten days and a half, and I will come to pick you up."

Jing Shu frowned and asked, "What about Brother Xuan, won't you come with me?"

Li Ling hesitated for a moment and then replied: "I have to teach brother Xuan kung fu every day. I can't delay and let him stay. Just take care of Sister Bao."

With that said, he handed the teacup to Jingshu: "It's getting late. I'll see you off in person tomorrow. After drinking this tea, I'll rest."

Jing Shu felt very uneasy in her heart. She knew Li Ling's temperament and would not act like this if nothing serious happened, but he deliberately kept it from her. Even if he pressed her further, he would not get an answer.

Jingshu took a sip of tea and handed the tea cup to Li Ling. She looked up at Li Ling, sniffed, and made up her mind to say to him solemnly: "I know you must be hiding something big from me. You

If you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask anymore. In short, I want you to know that I will not leave. If you insist on sending me away, then I will never pay attention to you again."

As he spoke, the sight of Li Ling in front of Jingshu gradually became blurry, and then she fell into his arms without knowing who was going on.

When Jing Shu woke up leisurely, she was already in a strange room.

She was shocked and called Li Ling repeatedly. The door was opened and Ziyun came in.

Jing Shu hurriedly asked: "Where is my uncle? Where has he gone? Where are we?"

Ziyun replied: "My uncle sent us here overnight and then left. I don't know where this place is?"

Jing Shu was in a panic. Li Ling wanted to send her out even if he knocked her out. There must be something big that he was hiding from her, otherwise he would never do this.

Jing Shu stood up and asked, "Did my uncle say anything before he left?"

Ziyun replied: "My uncle only told me to take good care of you, and also asked my servant to tell you to wait here with peace of mind."

After saying that, Ziyun also asked in confusion: "Madam, what big thing happened?"

Just as he was talking, Sister Bao was led into the house by Eminem. When the little guy saw Jingshu, he ran over jumping up and down, pulled Jingshu and asked: "Mom, why weren't you at home when I woke up?"

Where is this place? Why do we come here? Where are dad and brother? "

Jing Shu didn't bother to respond to her daughter and asked Ziyun again: "Didn't my uncle bring brother Xuan here?"

Ziyun replied truthfully: "Last night, I only hugged Sister Bao who was already asleep, but did not bring my brother."

Last night, Li Ling told her to just take good care of her daughter, but now she really doesn't want Brother Xuan to stay with her.

The more Jingshu thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out.

What is Li Ling's plan?

What on earth is he going to do?

At this time, there was great chaos in the capital. The eldest princess went to the palace early the next day to meet Emperor Ming. The two siblings talked for several hours in the Qinzheng Hall. Before noon, Emperor Ming issued an order to depose Zhao Bi and send him to the palace.

Demoted to King of Lu.

Emperor Ming gave Zhao Bi a new house outside the palace and ordered him to move out of the East Palace within three days.

Emperor Ming's vigorous and resolute tactics caught Empress Cao and all the civil and military officials by surprise.

Although Empress Cao had already discussed the rebellion plan with her son, she never expected that Emperor Ming would attack them mother and son first. Empress Cao took off her hairpin and knelt down outside the Qinzheng Hall to plead for her son. A group of officials headed by Cao Guojiu were also there.

The Foreign Minister of Meridian Gate could not afford to kneel down, but Emperor Ming, who finally got the support of the eldest princess to depose the prince, did not waver at all.
