Chapter 1312 - Everything Is Ready (2)

Ye Qingtang swept a bland look at the Eldest Prince but did not say anything.

“Your Majesty, I wish to impeach the Crown Prince, Ling Yan, for allowing his subordinates to wreak havoc among the citizens!” the minister said loudly.

The Eternal Emperor had just made Ling Yan the Crown Prince, but within a few days, someone dared to call for an impeachment!

The Eldest Prince, who was standing opposite Ling Yan, secretly exchanged glances with the Second Princess, who was behind the latter. When his gaze passed over Ling Yan, a trace of amusement flashed across his eyes.

With that, he subtly nodded at a scrawny man, who was dressed as a civil servant and standing at the side of the great hall.

Today, Ye Qingtang was standing there, looking like an ordinary person. Early that morning, the Eldest Prince and the Second Princess had prepared everything and were ready to make their move in the morning court session. In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, the Eldest Princess had especially requested Ye Qingtang to disguise herself as a civil servant and sneak into the morning court session.

Ye Qingtang looked at the Eldest Prince’s expression and sighed inwardly. What was meant to be would always be.

The Eternal Emperor’s expression stiffened.

“Do you know what the penalty is for maligning the Crown Prince?”

The Eldest Prince, who was standing nearby, saw this, and a hint of amusement arose in his heart. But his expression was worried when he advanced and said, “Father, the Crown Prince has always been honest and kind. He could not possibly have done anything treasonous.”

With that, the Eldest Prince turned to the minister who was kneeling on the floor. “Lord Hu, is there some misunderstanding on your part?”

At that moment, the Second Princess said, “Lord Hu has always been upright and principled. He is both honest and fair. He must have discovered something for him to risk his life today to ask for an impeachment. I also do not believe that the Crown Prince is corrupt, but since Lord Hu has spoken up, Royal Father, why don’t you allow Lord Hu to explain himself so that the Crown Prince can clear his name?”
