Ye Qingtang glanced at the Eldest Prince blandly but did not say anything.
Ling Yan, you should be more careful!
The Eternal Dynasty's Crown Prince had just been crowned, and it was supposed to be a joyous occasion. But now, there were many voices of impeachment in the Eternal Dynasty's court.
According to the Eternal Dynasty's customs, the princes and princesses who had not been conferred the title of King might attend the morning court session every day.
At that moment, the Eternal Emperor was sitting in the court when an official suddenly stepped forward and knelt down to make a report.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you!"
"What is it?" The Eternal Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Crown Prince, Ling Yan, for allowing his subordinates to wreak havoc on the people!" The official said loudly.
Ling Yan was the Crown Prince that the Eternal Emperor had just appointed. It had only been a few days, but someone actually dared to impeach him!
Many officials in the court were surprised. Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to look at Ling Yan, who was standing at the side of the hall.
Now that someone had stepped forward to impeach him, Ling Yan seemed to have not heard it. He just stood there with an indifferent expression, and his eyes did not move at all.
The Eldest Prince, who was standing opposite Ling Yan, secretly exchanged a look with the Second Princess behind him. When he glanced at Ling Yan from the corner of his eye, a trace of a smile flashed across his eyes.
Then, he discreetly nodded at a skinny man dressed like a civil official standing at the side of the hall.
That civil official was originally the Eldest Prince's confidant, but today, the person had changed.
The person standing there with an ordinary face was Ye Qingtang. Early that morning, the Eldest Prince and the Second Princess had prepared everything to take action in the court. In order to ensure that the operation went smoothly, the Eldest Prince had specially asked Ye Qingtang to disguise herself as a civil official and sneak into the court.
Ye Qingtang looked at the Eldest Prince's eyes and sighed inwardly. What was to come would eventually come.
She instinctively looked up at Ling Yan's back, and her heart was slightly conflicted.
Then, the Eternal Emperor's expression froze slightly.
"You want to impeach the Crown Prince?"
"Yes!"
"What has the Crown Prince done wrong that you want to impeach him?" The Eternal Emperor frowned slightly, looking displeased.
However, the minister braced himself and said, "The Crown Prince, Ling Yan, has a bad character. He connived with his subordinates and deceived the Emperor. He has committed countless crimes!"
"How dare you!" The Eternal Emperor slammed his palm heavily onto the throne.
"Do you know the punishment for slandering the crown prince?"
The minister kowtowed heavily and said in a low voice, "I know that slandering the Crown Prince is a capital offense. However, as an official, I cannot turn a blind eye to his crimes. Today, I wish to impeach the Crown Prince for the sake of the stability of the Eternal Dynasty. Your Majesty, please listen to me. I will gladly endure whatever punishment Your Majesty wishes to mete out!"
The Eternal Emperor narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. He looked very displeased.
When the First Prince saw this, a smile appeared on his face, but his expression was one of worry. He took a step forward and said, "Father, the Crown Prince has always been kind and benevolent. He would never do anything that would be disgraceful."
With that, the First Prince turned to the official kneeling on the ground and said, "Lord Hu, is there a misunderstanding?"
"There is no misunderstanding." Lord Hu's expression did not change.
