No one really thinks cultivating immortality is difficult, right?

So, he quickly spoke up and took the initiative to admit his mistake. Although he would still be punished, at least he would not lose his position as crown prince.

If he didn't speak up, his father might really want to change the crown prince. Even if it was just a small signal, it would be something he couldn't bear.

"absurd."

"This is really ridiculous."

"As the crown prince, you were appointed by me. Who dares to stop you?"

"You are clearly just making excuses for yourself."

"It's okay to be stupid, but you have to find so many excuses."

"Are you worthy of the position of Crown Prince?"

Emperor Xia scolded.

In his eyes, the prince was just trying to exonerate himself.

The reasons they found are so disgusting.

Why are you so anxious until you ascend the throne?

Why can't you sleep or eat well until you ascend the throne?

These are all excuses.

"Father."

The prince wanted to continue to quibble, but Emperor Xia's voice continued to ring out.

"You don't need to say anything more. Return to the palace and do not leave the palace for a year."

"Also, don't get involved in the matter of the non-toxic pill formula anymore. If I find out that you still have any clue about the non-toxic pill formula, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"During this year, reflect on yourself for me."

"As for the matter of supervising the country, you are not needed for the time being."

"do you know?"

Emperor Xia spoke, his tone was very calm, and silently took back the prince's power as regent.

However, the prince did not show any anger at all. After hearing these words, he even felt relieved.

"Thank you, Father. I will reflect on this carefully."

The prince nodded and agreed.

After a while, he stood up and left, walking out of the Yangxin Palace.

After the prince left.

Emperor Xia also slowly sat in his seat.

He looked at the leaving prince, his eyes full of pain.

Although he likes Su Changyu, the prince is also his flesh and blood.

Since he was named the crown prince, Emperor Xia naturally doted on his son, but he was the crown prince, and Emperor Xia knew that he should not dote on him too much.

He will be the king of Daxia in the future, so I can only be harsh to him and have extremely high expectations of him.

The prince can make mistakes now, no matter how big the mistakes are, it doesn’t matter, because no matter what mistakes he makes, I am here to support him.

But what if one day, the prince becomes the emperor of Daxia, and makes a mistake at that time?

One mistake of his may cause suffering to the people of the world.

It may also cause Daxia to be completely devastated.

That is why he was so harsh on the prince.

But the doting on the prince was beyond words.

At least even though the prince made such a big mistake, he did not really punish him.

He just took back the power of regent.

If it were any other prince, he would never be let off so easily.

"Ugh."

Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Xia rubbed his temples. He let out a long sigh, and the image of Su Changyu appeared in his mind.

It’s true that you can’t compare yourself with others.

Compared with Su Changyu, Xia Qian is like heaven and earth.

But soon, Emperor Xia's eyes suddenly became extremely calm.

In the hall, the sound of mosquitoes could be heard.

"Qian'er, I hope you really just want to secure the throne."

The sound was so quiet that even the eunuch outside the door couldn't hear it.

Just like that, half an hour later.

Inside the Prince’s Palace.

Xia Qian was walking back and forth in the Prince's Palace, his expression full of panic.

At first, he was frightened by Emperor Xia, so he lost his responsibility as regent and did not react.

But now Xia Qian suddenly realized that he had lost his responsibility as regent, which was a fatal blow to him.

There are only two kinds of blows.

Firstly, he could no longer use the title of regent to amass wealth. But this was not a bad thing. In the past three years, he had amassed a lot of wealth, at least enough to squander for a while.

The most important point is the second one. Once he loses his responsibility as regent, his younger brothers will be the first to know about it.

By then they will probably think that they have fallen out of favor. Once that happens, won’t they start plotting all kinds of things?

Not only that, many civil and military officials in the court have not yet taken sides. After hearing the news, those old foxes are hiding their true intentions, right?

It was precisely because of this that he immediately sent someone to invite Tai Shang Xuan Ji over.

Tai Shang Xuan Ji is his uncle and the prime minister of the current dynasty, and has always followed his father.

This time when his father came back, he was furious. He thought something must have happened, perhaps someone secretly informed him, so Xia Qian couldn't hold back.

Desperate to know the answer.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Xuan Ji is here."

Just then, a servant came in and announced loudly.

"Please come quickly."

Xia Qian spoke, appearing extremely hurried.

He would not be so anxious no matter what happened, but he would become like this after being scolded by Emperor Xia.

In his eyes, the only person in the entire Great Xia who could suppress him was Emperor Xia.

He was afraid of his father, the Emperor, just as all the eldest sons in the world are afraid of their fathers.

Not long after, a figure walked in. It was Tai Shang Xuan Ji.

"Xuan Ji, meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Tai Shang Xuan Ji came over, he appeared extremely respectful and bowed to the prince.

"Uncle, why do you have to be so polite?"

Seeing Tai Shang Xuan Ji appear, Xia Qian was overjoyed, and then bowed to Tai Shang Xuan Ji, showing the attitude of a junior.

"Your Highness is the Crown Prince after all, and Xuan Ji is only the Prime Minister. The rules of etiquette cannot be crossed."

Tai Shang Xuan Ji shook his head and bowed to Xia Qian again.

"Oh, uncle, there are only you and me in the palace now, please don't do this."

Xia Qian understands human nature best, and he still insists on calling Tai Shang Xuan Ji uncle.

"Your Highness, what's the matter? Just tell me."

Tai Shang Xuan Ji spoke. He knew that if it wasn't a big deal, Xia Qian wouldn't have used a secret order to let him into the palace.

"Uncle, this is a big deal. I was reprimanded by my father today, and my position as regent was also taken away."

The prince spoke up and told about the troubles he was facing.

As soon as these words were spoken, Tai Shang Xuan Ji's expression suddenly changed.

"What? Confiscated the responsibility of regent?"

He frowned, his expression became a little surprised, and his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at Xia Qian.

After all, the crown prince is the regent, so it is natural that he should be the regent first and then succeed to the throne. This has been the rule since ancient times.

Canceling the regent is no small matter. At the very least it will cause turmoil in the court and the country, and even several princes will be excited.

Originally, their chances of winning were very slim, but if the prince was punished, they would have hope.

However, Tai Shang Xuan Ji did not directly ask the prince what mistake he had made, but thought of another possibility.

When this thought came to his mind, Tai Shang Xuan Ji couldn't help but feel worried.

"Yes, it's all my nephew's fault for being greedy. In order to win over the crown prince of the Daze Dynasty, he told him about the non-toxic pill formula."

Xia Qian said this, lowering his head and looking somewhat helpless.

As soon as this voice sounded, Tai Shang Xuan Ji suddenly became clear.

"absurd!"

"This is really ridiculous."

Tai Shang Xuan Ji breathed a sigh of relief. At first he thought that Emperor Xia really wanted Su Changyu to take the throne.

But now that Xia Qian answered like this, Tai Shang Xuan Ji understood why His Majesty wanted to remove him from the position of regent.

This is simply too ridiculous.

"uncle."

Xia Qian shouted, looking very uncomfortable.

"Don't call me uncle."

"Your Highness, you are truly extremely confused."

"The non-toxic pill formula is now the foundation for the rise of our Great Xia. Do you know how happy Your Majesty was when he got this non-toxic pill formula?"

"Over the years, the Great Xia Dynasty has suffered disasters year after year, which made Your Majesty believe that it was God's will."

"But after the non-toxic pill formula appeared, His Majesty finally breathed a sigh of relief, because this non-toxic pill formula is the foundation of Daxia's future."

"These things can benefit countless people in Daxia, but you told the enemy about such precious things."

"You really are so stupid, so stupid."

Tai Shang Xuan Ji roared angrily. He had respected the prince before, but now he almost cursed.

He said that even if Emperor Xia liked Su Changyu so much, he would not say that he did not love the prince.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Emperor Xia was harsh on the prince, but he knew that it was because Emperor Xia liked the prince.

That's why he is so harsh to the prince.

But what I didn’t expect was that the prince would do such a stupid thing. It’s simply... incomprehensible.

It's unreasonable.

He really couldn't imagine what the prince was thinking and how he could be so foolish.

puff.

The next moment, the prince knelt on the ground. He looked at Tai Shang Xuan Ji with tears on his face.

"Uncle, my nephew was just in a hurry. I didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen."

Xia Qian did not kneel down as the crown prince, he only knelt as the nephew, so this kneeling was reasonable.

"you!"
