I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 6 Re-creating the Immortal

Liu Ju really didn't expect things to develop in this direction.

He said it so decisively, and his original intention was indeed to scare Su Wen so as to give him some motivation to report himself to Emperor Liu Che.

Being "prepared" is no small matter. Even if no evidence can be found, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they can affect Liu Che's perception of him to a certain extent.

It is even possible to achieve the goal of being destroyed in one wave.

Unexpectedly, Su Wen was so easily frightened that he knelt down and surrendered after just a few words. What a spineless person.

However, this may not be impossible to use.

Liu Ju's mind moved, and he said, "In this case, I can give you a chance. If you are willing to be my slave, you can report to His Majesty the truth about my preparations after returning to the palace."

"Eh?"

Su Wen was stunned again, and subconsciously raised his head with a confused look on his face, "Your Highness is asking... me to report Your Highness to His Majesty?"

"What, can't it?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Your Highness. I can still tell the difference between what you are saying and what you are not saying."

"Then tell me, what will it take for you to report me?"

"From now on, I will be loyal to Your Highness and would rather die than betray Your Highness."

"You... just take care of yourself!"

Liu Ju rolled his eyes in anger, turned around and left.

He was convinced. After all, this guy was so powerful in history books, but how come he broke into pieces at the slightest touch in reality and was not easily moved by anything?

of course.

It is also possible that Su Wen only surrendered on the surface, but continued to be a fence-sitter who played both sides and deceived his superiors and subordinates behind the scenes.

But Liu Ju didn't care.

He even hoped that Su Wen would be two-faced, so that it would help him achieve his ultimate goal.

……

Pingyang Houfu.

"Zong'er, we are an orphan and a widow and have a hard life."

Princess Wei Chang Liu Shu wept sadly while holding her 4-year-old son Cao Zong in her arms.

"Your father has only passed away for a little over a year, and you are still in mourning, yet His Majesty has arranged a marriage for my mother, and it's with a lowly and insignificant Qi State alchemist. What sin have we committed?"

"These alchemists are all swindlers. There was Li Shaojun in the past and Li Shaoweng in the future. They can deceive father for a while, but they cannot deceive father forever. When father wakes up and realizes, they will be dead without a burial place."

"When something happens, maybe my mother and I will be implicated..."

On the desk in front of Liu Shu and Cao Zong, there was a volume of bamboo slips.

There were not many words on the bamboo slips, and at the end was stamped with a bright red jade seal, which was the marriage decree that was delivered yesterday.

There was no servant in the hall except the mother and her son.

After all, these words can only be said in private, these tears can only be shed in private, and must never be spread to others.

But the matter has been settled, with the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and even the imperial decree granting the marriage has been delivered.

Your Majesty, your words are not joking. Unless the immortal that Your Majesty wants to see comes, no one can change it.

"Mother, don't cry. Mother, don't cry."

Although Cao Zong did not know the principles his mother said, he understood something at this moment. Seeing his mother shedding tears, he just stretched out his tearful hands to wipe her tears.

at this time.

A report came from outside the door:

"Your Highness, the Imperial Court Minister Su Wen is here to deliver your instructions."

"Please invite him to the living room first, I will be there soon."

Liu Shu quickly put Cao Zong down, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Then he went to the bronze mirror and looked at himself carefully, tidied his appearance, and after confirming that there were no traces of tears, he handed Cao Zong to the wet nurse and quickly went to the guest hall.

"Have you set a wedding date so soon?"

On the way there, Liu Shu felt both sad and calm.

Knowing that the facts could not be changed no matter what, her mentality was like that of someone waiting for the second shoe to drop, and now the second shoe has finally arrived.

But after arriving at the guest hall, Su Wen's first words stunned her:

"Greetings, Princess Wei Chang. I came here this time to retrieve the marriage decree in accordance with the order of His Majesty." "Minister Su, can you please tell me again what you are here for?"

Liu Shu took a long while to come to her senses and quickly confirmed it again.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to retrieve the marriage decree."

Su Wen bowed his head and said with a smile.

How is this going?

Liu Shu's eyes gradually widened, her pupils filled with incredible surprise and confusion.

Isn't it true that you never joke?
Although there is no precedent for the revocation of an edict that has already been issued, no one knows a father better than his daughter, and Liu Shu is very clear about her father's temper.

He was the kind of person who would never admit it even if he knew he was wrong, and would usually just make the best of a bad situation, making it extremely difficult for him to get the imperial edict back.

So, what's going on?

Could it be that a god really came down and gave my father such a revelation?
Su Wen obviously knew what Liu Shu was thinking at the moment, and then said with a smile:

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. Today, the Crown Prince came to the palace to see His Majesty. The Crown Prince is knowledgeable and has exposed Luan Da's magic scam in front of His Majesty. His Majesty was furious and has now thrown him into prison."

This was his first step in expressing his loyalty to Liu Ju.

Liu Shu is Liu Ju's biological sister. He believes that what he said here today will eventually reach Liu Ju's ears, and he will feel his sincerity.

"Prince?"

Liu Shu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly became a little worried.
"Father's matter of seeking immortals and asking ghosts is not allowed to be interfered with by others. Although the Crown Prince exposed it in person with good intentions, it also makes Father lose face, isn't it..."

"Your Highness, don't worry. His Majesty does not blame the Crown Prince."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Liu Shu heaved a long sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Thank you, Minister Su. I'll go get the imperial edict right away."

As soon as she left the living room, Liu Shu's steps suddenly became lighter.

She is only in her early twenties now and still retains some girlish nature. She walked more and more briskly, and in the end she even started to jump.

"Ju'er, my love for you is not in vain. You are my reincarnation."

……

Jiaofang Hall.

"What did you say?!"

Wei Zifu suddenly sat up from the couch. The majesty of the queen that she had maintained for a long time disappeared at this moment, and her face was full of shock.

"Your Highness, calm down. Everything I said is true."

The maid lowered her head and continued,

"After the prince left Xuanshi Hall, there were noises of smashing and looting inside the hall, and many of the Qimen warriors and palace officials outside the hall heard it."

"Later, some damaged tables and chairs were carried out from the palace. The Shaofu also received a secret order to make tables and chairs as soon as possible and sent them down."

"Your Majesty has issued a silence order on this matter, and I only found out about it with great difficulty."

"Well……"

When Wei Zifu heard this, she felt a tightness in her chest and she couldn't breathe.

"Your Highness!"

The maid hurriedly patted Wei Zifu's back.

Wei Zifu finally caught her breath and immediately said to the maid:
"Don't worry about me...you...you go to Bowang Garden immediately and summon the prince. I want to see him!"

"Your Highness, I also heard that the Crown Prince has been ordered by His Majesty to be under house arrest for a month. I'm afraid he cannot enter the palace."

"Well!"

Wei Zifu almost fainted again, "Then go to the General's Mansion and tell Wei Qing about this. Let Wei Qing go to Bowang Garden to see the Crown Prince. Go!"

"promise."

The maid had no choice but to retreat and do as she was told.

"This rebellious son..."

Wei Zifu was filled with worry. She paced back and forth in the Pepper Room, and from time to time she could hear curses and sighs.

at this time.

Someone outside the palace came to report: "Your Highness, Princess Wei Chang came to pay her respects."
