Ye Fan was also surprised; he hadn't expected Shen Murong to make a move.

"I'm beating you on behalf of His Majesty!"

Shen Murong stared at Li Chengqian and calmly said, "Our Great Xia was founded on the principle of 'filial piety and martial prowess.' His Majesty once said that he would rule the world together with the Prince of Zhenbei! To put it another way, Ye Fan is the Prince of Zhenbei, a prince of equal rank!"

"Even if you are the Crown Prince, your status is still half a rank lower than that of the Prince of Zhenbei!"

"His Majesty hasn't even punished him yet, and you're already impatiently demanding that the Prince of Zhenbei kneel down!"

"And you want to exterminate the entire clan of the Prince of Zhenbei?"

"You dare to speak to the Prince of Zhenbei with such disrespect! I was lenient by slapping you! Even if His Majesty were to depose you, it would be perfectly reasonable and legal!"

Shen Murong raised his head and looked at the Emperor of Great Xia:

"Your Majesty, am I right?"

After these words were spoken, Li Chengqian's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, unable to utter a single word!

Everyone kept their heads down, even Wang Guozhong and Nalan Fengyun didn't dare to look up at Li Fuyuan's face.

He gasped inwardly, "My God! These two siblings from the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion are both incredibly fierce!"

A moment later.

Li Fuyuan spoke emotionlessly: "General Shen is right, Chengqian, why don't you apologize to the Prince of Zhenbei?"

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said to Ye Fan, "Prince Zhenbei, please forgive me. I misspoke just now!"

"His Majesty!"

Shen Murong, however, was not about to let Li Chengqian off the hook, and looked at Li Fuyuan: "Your Majesty! I propose that Li Chengqian be deposed as Crown Prince!"

The entire Golden Palace fell into a deathly silence once again. Everyone was filled with shock and disbelief. Ye Fan had gone mad! Shen Murong had gone mad too!

"Shen Murong, as the General Who Guards the North, how dare you utter such treasonous words?"

"Your Majesty! Shen Murong is spouting nonsense! Please revoke her tiger tally! Strip her of all military and political power!"

"Your Majesty, Shen Murong has uttered arrogant words and committed insubordination..."

Dozens of civil officials all knelt on the ground!

Wang Guozhong's face was gloomy. Had this woman gone mad?

Nalan Fengyun's old face was also uncertain. Shen Murong was definitely not crazy. She must have her reasons for saying that!

Li Chengqian's voice was chilling as he repeatedly said, "Good! Good! Good! Even the General Who Guards the North is interfering in court affairs and making presumptuous remarks about the deposition and establishment of the Crown Prince!"

He turned around and knelt down before Li Fuyuan with a thud: "Father! If the General Who Guards the North is not severely punished today, I will kneel to death in this Golden Palace!"

Li Fuyuan's face was very pale.

Shen Murong commands an army of 800,000, which he is indeed very wary of.

However, in the Golden Palace, Shen Murong actually demanded that he depose Crown Prince Li Chengqian? Did he not respect him, the Emperor of Great Xia, at all?

"General, you're drunk!"

Li Fuyuan's face was stern, revealing his true nature.

Shen Murong shook his head, then flipped his hand over, revealing a memorial in his palm.

"Your Majesty should read this before making a decision!"

With a wink from Li Fuyuan, Liu Chengen walked up to Shen Murong, took the memorial, and handed it to Li Fuyuan.

After reading the memorial, Li Fuyuan flew into a rage: "You scoundrel! Guards, remove the Crown Prince's crown! Throw all those involved in the Crown Prince's palace into the Dali Temple prison!"

"Erase all of Qin Feng's achievements and execute him by slow slicing! Those associated with him shall have their entire families exterminated!"

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned!

What's going on? The crown prince was kneeling on the ground just a second ago, and now he's about to be deposed?

No one dared to speak; there must be a huge secret in Shen Murong's memorial! And this secret touched the bottom line of Emperor Li Fuyuan of the Great Xia Dynasty!

"Father!"

Li Chengqian panicked.

"I'm not your father! You want this throne so badly, then you sit here! You want me dead, don't you?"

Li Fuyuan stared intently at Li Chengqian!

Every muscle on his aged face trembled.

Li Chengqian was instantly covered in sweat and trembling all over. Had his plan been exposed?

"What are you waiting for? Take this rebellious son away!"

Li Fuyuan was furious.

A group of guards stepped forward and quickly dragged Li Chengqian away. Qin Feng was also seized, pleading in terror, "Your Majesty! Spare me... Your Highness, save me... save me!"

Unfortunately, Li Chengqian himself was in dire straits!

"Princess, save me... save me!" Qin Feng was desperate and grasped at any opportunity.

Li Youruo, unable to bear it any longer, knelt below the jade steps: "Father! I beg you to spare Qin Feng's life! He is the top scholar of the current dynasty, with outstanding literary talent!"

"Top scholar?"

Li Fuyuan smiled.

His aged eyes fixed authoritatively on Wang Guozhong: "Prime Minister Wang! Is this man truly a man of exceptional literary talent?"

Wang Guozhong's face was ashen, and he knelt on the ground in terror, his body trembling uncontrollably: "Your Majesty... Qin Feng really did come in first place in the palace examination! He... he was the top scholar appointed by your own hand!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Fuyuan laughed loudly, "Looks like I really am getting old; everyone dares to lie to me now!"

"Qin Feng, tell me yourself, aren't you a gifted writer?"

Faced with the oppressive aura of the Great Xia Emperor, Qin Feng was unable to withstand it at all. He screamed and rolled on the ground, defecating and urinating indiscriminately.

With only his upper body remaining, Qin Feng prostrated himself, kowtowing in terror: "Your Majesty! I know my crime! It was the Crown Prince…it was the Crown Prince who ordered me to do everything!"

"He told me to seduce Li Youruo! He said Ye Fan likes Li Youruo, and controlling Li Youruo is equivalent to controlling Ye Fan!"

"He also told me to ask Li Youruo to take me into the Zhenbei Prince's mansion, to familiarize myself with everything inside, and then to fabricate evidence of the Zhenbei Prince's rebellion..."

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

Li Youruo's mind was buzzing, her whole body was trembling, and her eyes were bloodshot: "You...you're talking nonsense!"

"Princess! It's all true! Five years ago, when you went on a spring outing, I happened to be reading by the lake... The poems I wrote were all written by His Highness the Crown Prince's men... I didn't write them! I was just responsible for reciting them to you..."

Qin Feng explained everything clearly.

It turns out that even his literary talent was fake.

All the sweet words were just a ploy to win over Li Youruo and then control Ye Fan through her!

At this moment, Qin Feng's image as the white moonlight in her heart collapsed.

"Nonsense! You're talking nonsense!"

"It's fake! It's all fake! Ah—!"

Li Youruo was provoked and rushed out of the Golden Palace!

"...Your Majesty, spare me!" Qin Feng pleaded, lying on the ground. "His Highness the Crown Prince also said that as long as he commands an army of 800,000, with a single call to arms, even you..."

"Liu Chengen, shut him up!!!" Li Fuyuan roared.

Liu Chengen dared not be negligent and flashed to the ground in front of Qin Feng.

With a swift movement, he grabbed Qin Feng's neck and crushed it.

……

Half an hour later.

The entire Great Xia Imperial Palace was in complete chaos. Ye Fan and Shen Murong left, boarding a carriage and departing.

"Eighth Sister, what did you write in your memorial? Why did the Emperor look so grim after reading it?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

Shen Murong took off his golden armor and explained with a smile, "After receiving your letter last night, I immediately contacted Ya Fei and asked her to use the power of the Number One Mountain Villa in the World to investigate this Qin Feng."

Tenth Sister Xiao Yafei, the number one manor lord in the world!

"I had no idea until I investigated; he had actually been working for Crown Prince Li Chengqian for five years!"

"So, Consort Ya's forces followed the clues and found out everything behind the scenes! I wrote down the whole story in a memorial to His Majesty, and that was all."

Ye Fan frowned: "Is Li Chengqian really going to rebel? Isn't Qin Feng one of Wang Guozhong's men?"

"On the surface, he's Wang Guozhong, but in reality, he's Li Chengqian's man," Shen Murong shook his head.

Ye Fan's expression shifted constantly, somewhat different from what he knew in his previous life.

If Li Chengqian was the person behind it all, how could he have been defeated so easily?

Could it be that someone else was behind all of this? In his previous life, he died without ever figuring out who, besides Li Youruo and Qin Feng, had harmed the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

Sudden.

"Xiao Fan, do you want to be the emperor?"

Ye Fan was startled.

Could it be that Eighth Sister had long harbored rebellious intentions?
