Chapter 371 It's Too Late

Chapter 371 It's Too Late

There was silence in the study, no one stood up to speak, as if they had tacitly agreed to this statement.

Situ Lin rubbed his forehead tiredly, waved his hand,
"You guys retreat today, I will think about this matter alone."

"Yes."

All the ministers bowed and then exited the study one by one.

Wei Qing hooked Situ Ming's shoulders, walked out, and asked in a low voice:
"Didn't you protect the prince before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Situ Ming looked around, and also lowered his voice and said:
"The situation has not deteriorated before. I am physically sensitive, so I am naturally not like Situ An, who can speak freely and have some scruples. But now it is different. The matter is a foregone conclusion. If I talk about protecting the crown prince, it seems too insincere. .”

Wei Qing nodded half-understood, didn't say anything, just walked out of the palace with him.

After they all left, Situ Lin sat alone in the room for a long time without thinking about anything.

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the time outside, he pondered for a while, and said to the waiter:

"Go and invite the prince."

"Yes."

The servant left the study.

After a long time, he brought Situ Jing back again.

"Father."

Situ Jing knelt on the ground, with her head half down, speechless.

He knew what the court was talking about these days, and he also knew what situation he was in now, so he just put on an attitude of admitting his mistakes and didn't say much.

Situ Lin looked at him, his face faintly collapsing.

Because of anger, a red light flashed in his eyes quickly.

"So far, do you know your mistake?"

Situ Jing bowed and said in a deep voice:
"I know I was wrong. Back then, because I trusted Jiang Xie too much, I rashly led the troops to wipe out the rebels without carefully verifying his words. Before the situation became clear, I followed Jiang Xie's plan and directly bombed Jiang Xie. The mountain caused the death of countless people, and as a prince, my son should have been more calm and cautious, but he never did."

With a few light words, he put all the blame on Jiang Xie, but he was only accused of being reckless and trusting others too much, but kept silent about the matter of striving for merit.

Situ Lin snorted coldly:
"Do you think that I won't punish you if you avoid the most serious and take the lightest? Or do you think that I am old and can't bear to remove you as the crown prince?"

"My son absolutely has no such idea."

Situ Jing panicked and said:

"My son is just telling the truth. As for how the father punishes me, my son will not complain."

There was a faint grumpiness on Situ Lin's face.

He suppressed it for a while, looked at his son, gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't think that I don't know what you are doing all this for. I was once a prince, so I understand what's going on between you, so you don't have to come here to fool me."

Situ Jing pursed her lips and did not speak, but she looked very wronged, as if she had been misunderstood.

Seeing him like this, Situ Lin felt even more angry.

Why is his prince so dishonest?

Now being laughed at by the whole world, losing their royal face, and being used as a reason to attack the capital?Annoyed just thinking about it.

"You get up."

Situ Lin suddenly said loudly:

"You actually feel that you are at a loss, then stand up and defend yourself with me."

Situ Jing didn't move or speak, his eyes kept flickering.

Situ Lin only felt a breath in his chest that he couldn't get up and down.

If Situ Jing had the guts to stand up and argue with him, he would still think that Situ Jing was a powerful person, but his performance was too disappointing.

He was panting heavily, and felt that his eyes were a little dizzy, and his physical strength was even weaker, which made him unable to hold on.

He knew that he was old, and he also knew why the other faction didn't want to abolish the prince before. It was nothing more than that he was too old and not in good health.

The red light in Situ Lin's eyes became even brighter, and his face became slightly ruthless.

Everyone said he couldn't do it, so he insisted on watching.

He still has his wish unfulfilled, and he hasn't seen the unity of the world, so how could he just go like this?
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, his eyes were ruthlessly cold and cruel.

After stabilizing his emotions, he said slowly and deeply:

"Since you already know your mistake, and the current situation in the court is like this, the only way to calm people's grievances is to oust you from the East Palace. For the sake of the people, are you willing to make sacrifices?"

Situ Jing was taken aback for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said word by word:

"If this is the meaning of the father, for the sake of the people, for the sake of the world of our country, I am willing."

"very good."

A smile curled up on Situ Lin's lips, his eyes were full of ambition:
"Go back and wait for the order."

He didn't believe it, he really couldn't do it, he wanted to prove that even without the crown prince, he could still live to that time.

Taking a deep breath, he felt much better.

When he came back to his senses and saw that Situ Jing was still kneeling on the ground, his brows furrowed deeply again:
"What are you still kneeling here for? Didn't you hear what I said? Or do you have something else to say."

"No, son...retire."

Situ Jing kowtowed slightly, then exited the study.

He always felt that Situ Lin seemed a little different today.

The sense of oppression and the faint killing intent made him feel chills all over, and he didn't dare to refute anything.

Glancing at the study behind him, he pursed his lips, then looked away, and strode out with a sullen face.

Before the decree was issued, it was almost after he rented it. What he had to do now was to return home quickly to discuss countermeasures.

But Situ Lin never gave him this chance.

The moment he stepped into the mansion, the decree of deposing the prince was spread to the mansion and announced to the world.

There were cheers outside.

Situ Jing stared blankly at the imperial decree, wondering why Situ Lin was so eager.

He can say that he is also his son, so is he so merciless?

Qin Man'er received the imperial decree together. Seeing Situ Jing's appearance, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't worry, as long as I, Qin, are here, the crown prince will still be yours in the future. It's fine now, you will have more time to spend with me, won't you?"

Situ Jing couldn't listen to the words at all. After he asked someone to confess the imperial decree, he stood where he was, closed his eyes and raised his head.

After fighting for so long, I didn't expect to come to this step.

If he had known this before, he should have listened to Jiang Xie's suggestion and asked the imperial court for the prince's position. Maybe he could get a good reputation.

It's a pity that no matter what you say now, you have played.

Sighing deeply, Situ Jing opened his eyes, smiled wryly, and walked slowly into the house.
