1737 The Truth 1

The Crown Prince had been confined to the mansion by the order of the previous King. As a result, he was unaware of the events unfolding outside. The mansion was surrounded by the imperial army, leaving the Crown Prince with no means of escape. Thus, he remained clueless about the situation.

Furthermore

Lord Huais forces had taken control of the court, closely monitoring the Crown Princes mansion from within and outside. This strict surveillance made it impossible for the Crown Prince to leave his confinement.

Despite being grounded in the mansion, they managed to gather some information about the ongoing events. However, they remained indifferent to the situation, merely wasting their days within the mansion.

The Crown Prince, lacking real authority since his coronation, had dedicated most of his efforts to finding a suitable marriage partner. Consequently, he found himself powerless to overturn the current circ.u.mstances. This powerlessness prevented him from rebelling even while being confined.

The guard, accustomed to his role as a loyal protector, responded truthfully to the Crown Princes inquiries. He understood the importance of providing accurate information, even if it might not be what the Crown Prince wanted to hear.

After the Crown Prince posed his questions

The guard paused for a moment, carefully choosing his words before responding. The new King, Lord Huai, is holding the crowning ceremony. He is actively engaging with the people, taking a stroll along the avenue, which has generated much excitement.

Upon hearing this, the Crown Princes frustration reached its peak. His voice trembled as he shouted with clenched teeth, expressing his disbelief and resistance. He refused to accept the reality unfolding before him.

The idea of a crowning ceremony taking place without his involvement deeply unsettled him. In his mind, he believed that he, as the Crown Prince, was the rightful successor to the throne. He could not fathom someone else a.s.suming the position that he believed belonged to him alone.

The new King is Lord Huai, and the new Queen is the Elder Miss of the Gu Family, namely the Phoenix Girl! Now they have been crowned and the lands name has been changed to Jin. The guard continued according to the truth.

My Eighth Brother? That is impossible! He is just a useless, idling man, a spoiled Lord! What can he do as the King! No one will accept him! Father must have been drugged to have given him the throne! He is from the Jiang Family too! Zhou Huailing continued to shout, and because of anger, his eyes were bulging, full of blood shots, looking quite intimidating.

I am the Crown Prince. I am the future King!

The situation has evolved, the Crowned Prince, Lord Huai successfully took control of the palace, and with the support of influential figures, including Prime Minister Chu and General Liu, he has solidified his position as the King. The people have embraced him, and the crowning ceremony was conducted with widespread acceptance.

he felt compelled to address the reality He did not even know who the King was. What kind of things people with such abilities were able to achieve anyway?

I am the Crown Prince. I am the rightful heir to the throne! Zhou Huailing stressed.

The guard sighed.
