Chapter 526 Servants Obey
Jing Xuan bowed his head respectfully, and where no one could see, a sarcastic smile curled his thin lips. He knew, of course, that the Empress had no right to depose him as Crown Prince.

The emperor's fate is currently unknown, and he is also the crown prince of Louqu Kingdom, just as envoys from four countries have come to offer their congratulations.

They absolutely won't let anything happen to him!
As expected, the Empress fainted from anger: "Since the Crown Prince is unwilling to go in person, then I will send a lady-in-waiting to invite him. Someone, go quickly to the Prime Minister's residence to see the Virtuous Lady and have her treat the Emperor."

"Yes, slave, I obey!"

Jingxuan remained expressionless. Her godmother had a get-out-of-jail-free card; if she refused to enter the palace, who could do anything to her?
"In the Crown Prince's heart, your father is actually inferior to the Virtuous Lady?" The Empress suddenly challenged the Crown Prince.

Jingxuan calmly explained, "Mother, you flatter me. Father is the person I admire most in my life. Father is frugal and loves the people, works hard to govern, and is good at recognizing and using people, promoting the Prime Minister and others, which has raised the prosperity of Louqu Kingdom to a new level."

It just so happens that envoys from four countries have come to offer birthday wishes, ostensibly to celebrate. In reality, they are there to discuss and exchange ideas on a series of cooperative issues. This virtuous lady is the pioneer who propelled the prosperity of the Louqu Kingdom. At that time, key theories will need to be explained to the envoys from the four countries by the virtuous lady. Summoning the virtuous lady to the palace at this time is truly unwise; the Empress Dowager should be well aware of the Emperor's health.”

After her initial anger subsided, the Empress gradually calmed down upon hearing the Crown Prince's words.

It seems that this virtuous lady is still untouchable. No wonder the emperor ordered Pei Yuanjun to be killed but spared the virtuous lady. It turns out that she is still useful.

"Someone, go and bring the lady-in-waiting back to me immediately. Make sure you get there before she enters the Prime Minister's residence."

Prince Zhao hadn't slept all night either; his eyes were dry and had some frighteningly red blood vessels.

Although the emperor had given him the order long ago, and he cooperated perfectly, he did not expect that the prime minister would find out. He thought that his power had been usurped and he would surely die this time, but he did not expect that he would escape again.

No news came back all night, so it seems that those people were all wiped out.

I never knew that the Prime Minister would be such a formidable opponent.

With a single move, they wiped out the Royal Guard's elite unit.

It seems he needs to reassess the Prime Minister's abilities. Even if he had gone alone, he couldn't have escaped unscathed. He never expected the Prime Minister to be so capable!
Tiger's eyes looked tired; he closed them and rubbed his eye sockets and temples. Just then, the study door was suddenly flung open with a bang.

Zhao Baoye walked in with red eyes.

Prince Zhao looked at him with displeasure: "Don't you have any manners? Don't you know to knock before coming in?"

Zhao Baoye glared at him angrily: "Why did you do this? He's my brother!"

Prince Zhao looked into his hateful eyes and a sneer flashed in his gaze: "Zhao Baoye, don't forget that I am your father. Is this how you speak to your father?"

"I just want to know why you did this. If it weren't for him, would you have gotten the position of prince?"

"You are presumptuous."

"Slap..." A powerful slap landed on his face.

Fingerprints were immediately left on Zhao Baoye's face, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.

"Did I say something wrong? If it weren't for the evidence he gathered, do you think you could have held onto this position?" Zhao Baoye stared at him fiercely.

Prince Zhao roared in fury: "Do you think this is my will? It is the Emperor who wants him dead. I am merely following orders. You need to understand that it is the Emperor who wants him dead, not me!"

Zhao Baoye staggered back two steps, stunned: "How could that be? His Majesty clearly..."

"What? You clearly wish you could tear him to pieces, yet you still entrust him with important responsibilities?"
