With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 117
However, what Su Junning and Shen Qianwei did not expect was that the matter between the two of them had not yet been settled. A few days later, on the ninth day of September, on the day of the Double Ninth Ceremony, another accident happened in Bianjing City.

It was not a trivial matter, the prince was bitten by a poisonous snake, and in order to save his life, he had no choice but to give up his left arm.

Things happened too fast, too suddenly, completely unexpected, and the city of Bianjing exploded in an instant.

Ninety-ninth Chongyang, climbing high to worship ancestors, on this day, according to the practice of Beidi royal family, the emperor will go to Jinling Mountain outside Bianjing City to worship ancestors and heaven and earth, and pray for the prosperity of Beidi and the safety of the country.

As the crown prince, the crown prince had to climb Jinling Mountain with Emperor Jianning, while the others had to stay and wait at the ancestral hall about an incense stick away from the peak, so they were not eligible to follow him to the top.

However, I didn't expect that it was such a long way. When the priest returned, a poisonous snake fell from the tree and landed on Emperor Jianning's shoulder. The situation was urgent, and the prince was escorting him, and directly brushed the snake off Emperor Jianning's shoulder with his bare hands. , I was bitten on the wrist unexpectedly.

The incident happened suddenly, and naturally there was no imperial doctor accompanying him when he came out to sacrifice. By the time he rushed to take the man down from the mountain, the prince was already in a coma.

Although some emergency treatment had been done, when the imperial physician arrived, the prince's entire left arm was already swollen, especially the wound on the wrist, which was even worse.

He has always been bitten by a poisonous snake, and it takes time to treat him. However, because the prince was delayed all the way down the mountain, he has obviously missed the best time for treatment.

Moreover, the imperial physician didn't know what kind of snake the prince was bitten by, so he couldn't prescribe the right medicine for the time being.

What's more terrible is that the prince's pupils have begun to slack a little. If he doesn't take any action, his life may be lost.

In desperation, Emperor Jianning had to reluctantly agree to sacrifice his left arm to save his life.

In the palace at the foot of Jinling Mountain, four or five imperial physicians joined hands to complete the operation with great difficulty. Fortunately, the bet won in the end, and the prince's life was saved, but he became a crippled person from then on.

Emperor Jianning looked at the empty left sleeve of his son who was in a coma, his face was as heavy as iron.

All the ministers who came to offer sacrifices, as well as the three princes, King Jin, Fourth Prince, and Seventh Prince, all bowed their heads and said nothing.

Everyone knew in their hearts that after the prince woke up, he would no longer be the prince.

No country would choose a physically disabled prince as an heir. Strictly in the end, even if there were obvious scars on the face, let alone the loss of an arm.

After the news was sent back to Bianjing, the queen fainted immediately after hearing it.

In the East Palace, the Crown Princess Yin's family was even more chaotic, causing the entire East Palace to be in chaos for a while.

When he returned to the city, it was already dark, and Emperor Jianning took the prince back to the palace directly, and placed him in an empty palace.

The queen stayed in front of the prince's bed all night, and fainted several times from crying. It was not until she was exhausted the next day that Emperor Jianning forcibly ordered someone to take her down to rest.

Because of the prince's affairs, Emperor Jianning stopped the day when he was supposed to go to court today.

For a while, people in Bianjing City were floating, waiting to see what would happen next.

But everyone is certain that the position of the crown prince cannot be kept.

Tibetan jade pavilion.

Su Junning was also discussing with the maids about the prince's disability

"The empress has only one child under her knees. Now that she is old, it is impossible to have another child. Now it is hopeless." Yingmei sat on her feet and embroidered her purse, whispering.

When she mentioned it, Jichun next to her nodded and answered.

"A mother is more expensive than a child, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no good future. If it's not just the Queen who has no hope, then the Xu family will probably lose their air."

"It's a pity for His Royal Highness, but the people of the Xu family deserve it, especially the third lady of the Xu family." Nan Xu said immediately.

When she said this, she reminded Su Junning that Shen Qianwei also has a little girl named Xu Sini.

The relationship between Shen Qianwei and Xu Yuanche is good, I don't know if he will go to Xu's house to comfort him at this time.

Thinking of this, Su Junning hummed.

Nan Xu looked over, "What's wrong, Miss?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, the position of the crown prince is suspended, I'm afraid the court will never be peaceful." Su Junning didn't tell the truth.

But the matter she mentioned was indeed a problem.

"In terms of seniority and inferiority, the next prince may be King Jin." Nan Xu whispered.

Su Junning turned the jade bracelet in her hand and squinted her eyes.

"King Jin has contributed a lot to the emperor's ninety-five-year-old position, and his reputation in the court is also very good. He has the reputation of a virtuous king. Father also said that the emperor and the crown prince rely on him very much. Now it seems that he It is indeed the most suitable."

Speaking of this, Su Junning suddenly thought of something, and smacked her lips.

"I didn't expect Su Zhiyi to have a good eye."

The girls were stunned for a moment, and quickly realized what she meant, and nodded one after another.

Su Junning chuckled and waved her hand.

"Okay, the things outside have nothing to do with me, a boudoir. You must remember that you are not allowed to talk nonsense when you leave this room. Now is the time of turmoil. Remember that disaster comes from your mouth."

"Yes, servants obey." The three maids responded in unison.

However, if she can stand up high and have nothing to do with herself, the people who are officials in the court are different.

Even Shen Qianwei, a low-ranking Xiaoqiwei, has been tense during this period of time, always keeping an eye on the movement in the court, afraid of stepping on the thunder and making mistakes.

Fortunately, the prince finally woke up after two days of coma.

After finding out that he was disabled, the prince couldn't accept it for a while, but he was very restrained and didn't make any noise.

Even after resting for five days, he took the initiative to propose to Emperor Jianning to abolish his crown prince.

Looking at the memorial to the crown prince, Emperor Jianning was heartbroken and distressed.

He was really satisfied with this eldest son, and he really didn't expect such a disaster to happen, and the prince's sensibility and restraint also made Emperor Jianning feel more guilty and loving.

But he is the emperor of Beidi after all, and he must take the overall situation into consideration, so he finally agreed to the prince's request.

Abolish the position of the crown prince, make him the King of Chen, and decree that the King of Chen will still live in the East Palace, and only change the plaque of the East Palace to the Palace of the King of Chen.

The word Chen is the name of the emperor. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the East Palace to be changed to the palace. Emperor Jianning's move is also to express to the outside world that he still values ​​the eldest son.

The crown prince became the king of Chen, so no one mentioned Donggong Xiaoxuan.

At this time, how can I choose a concubine for my newly disabled son?

The queen couldn't accept this blow, the prince fell ill the day he woke up, and he hasn't recovered yet, and now both mother and son are recovering from illness.

And the failure of this small election is because some people are happy and some people are sad.

The first thing to worry about is the Ruiguo Mansion.

The crown prince became the king of Chen and lost an arm. Naturally, the Xie family was reluctant to let her daughter marry a disabled man, so the matter of Xu Sini's marriage to the royal family fell through like this.

Another person who is worried is Wang Xuwei, the daughter-in-law of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

She already had a broad path, and she committed herself to be the concubine of the prince for a few years, and when she gave birth to a son, when the prince ascended the throne, she would be the queen of the mother's world, but now it has all become a dream.

That is to say, fortunately, Emperor Jianning did not decree the canonization in advance, so she can still discuss marriage on her own.

The last one who wants to talk about joy is naturally Xu Sini.

But this is not entirely true, because Xu Sini is half happy and half sad.

The happy thing is that she doesn't have to marry a man she doesn't like, but the sad thing is that the prince's future is ruined, which means that the Xu family's future and glory will also be greatly damaged.

All these years of planning for the crown prince were wasted.

But no matter what, Xu Sini is still happy to have the opportunity to pursue what she loves after temporarily letting go of the fate arranged by her family.

The September of the second year of Jianning, after all, became a month remembered in the history of Beidi because of this accident.

But for now, because of the prince's resignation and the love and favor of Emperor Jianning, the city of Bianjing temporarily regained its calm on the surface.

It's just that there is almost no such peace for the Su family.

At the end of September, Su Manor welcomed another unexpected guest.

When Xiao Lu brought an extraordinary young man into the Su residence, Su Junning felt that something was wrong in her heart, and when she learned that this man was the eldest son of the Lu family, she immediately became even more wary.
