2His Highness Second Prince had already cursed the eunuch hundreds of times in his heart. He never thought that the eunuch would actually dare to confess to him. Did he really not want to live anymore?    

    

However, no matter how he cursed now, it was useless. He, father, and the other ministers had obviously already known about this matter. Actually, it was nothing to know about this. His Highness Second Prince had never thought about hiding this matter for a long time. He knew that the others were not stupid. First Prince was dead. He was the one who benefited the most. Therefore, once First Prince died... He was the most suspicious person. Others would definitely suspect him. As long as they investigated carefully, they would know that he was the mastermind behind this incident.    

    

Therefore, from the beginning, His Highness Second Prince didn't care too much about the fact that he would be exposed. What he couldn't accept was that he would be exposed, but First Prince wasn't dead yet. This made him very difficult to accept.    

    

If First Prince died, even if the others suspected him. Because, in the Yuan Feng Country, the only thing he could accept was the fact that ___ was still alive. Only he and First Prince were most likely to inherit the throne. As for the other princes, they were either too young. Or, they didn't have any ability at all. It was impossible for them to ascend to the throne.    

    

Therefore, His Highness Second Prince had thought of this matter very well. As long as First Prince died, even if he was exposed, it wouldn't affect the outcome of the matter. Besides, he still had the help of Money Yuan Kingdom.    

    

However, the reality was cruel. Or, it could be said that the eunuch was too useless. First Prince wasn't killed, and under such circumstances, he was exposed. This was already the worst outcome.    

    

"Father, I was wronged. I really don't know anything." His Highness Second Prince cried, but what was the truth? At this moment... Obviously, he would not admit that he was the murderer. When Royal Brother was still alive, he couldn't guarantee that his father wouldn't do anything to him.    

    

"Someone must be deliberately setting me up. It must be so." Second Prince shouted.    

    

"Setting you up? Don't you know what you have done?" The emperor was furious.    

    

What he didn't want to see the most was that his sons... They fought to the death for that position, but the reality slapped him hard. Before he died, his sons had already started fighting. Now, it had already happened that they wanted to kill the other party. This was something he couldn't accept, and it was also the thing that made him the most angry.    

    

"Father, I really don't know. I have been staying in the palace all this time. I don't know anything about it." His Highness Second Prince refused to admit it no matter what.    

    

If the person kneeling now was an ordinary civilian, the king would not mind using some tough methods to beat him up.    

    

However, the person kneeling now was his son after all, a child who had been spoiled since young. If he really hit a few dozen times, he might have died under the court staff before he could even make a move.    

    

"Forget it. You can leave now, whether this matter has anything to do with you or not. You are not allowed to have such thoughts in the future. Also, during this period of time, you can stay in your own hall. You're not allowed to go anywhere. " The Emperor looked at his second son with an expressionless face, "Besides, I have officially appointed First Prince as the Crown Prince. After my death... He will inherit the throne."    

    

"What?!" Second Prince looked at father in shock, obviously not expecting this. His father had actually officially appointed First Prince as the Crown Prince at this moment. Obviously, this was done to show him that he wanted to tell him. Don't have any indecent thoughts anymore. The throne had already been decided for First Prince. He wanted him to be more obedient in the future.    

    

Such an order was officially announced. Furthermore, it was given to First Prince, Second Prince, and all the other ministers present. This meant that this decision could no longer be changed.    

    

Second Prince could still accept being grounded. After all, there were many things that could be done. He didn't need to do it himself. There were others who could do it for him. All he needed to do was to give the order. So, even if he was grounded... He would only lose his freedom temporarily. However, for his plans for other things... It didn't affect him too much.    

    

However, he couldn't accept father's following words, which was to directly appoint First Prince as the Crown Prince.    

    

Although many people thought that First Prince would be the next successor to the throne. However, First Prince was still First Prince, not the Crown Prince. Therefore, the other princes, especially Second Prince, still had a chance. He could also go around and recruit some officials.    

    

However, First Prince was now officially the Crown Prince, and... He, father, had personally said that after his death, First Prince would inherit the throne. This was equivalent to a will, which also meant that... He had completely lost the proper path. Under such circumstances, he simply had no way of roping in any official.    

    

After all, the others were not stupid. Who would support him even if they knew that he could not succeed the throne?    

    

"Your Majesty, please be at ease!" The ministers present immediately knelt down and said respectfully.    

    

The officials were actually not surprised by the Emperor's order. After all, it was not a secret that the Emperor wanted First Prince to inherit the throne. Many people knew about it.    

    

The Emperor chose this time to officially appoint First Prince as the Crown Prince. It clearly stated that First Prince was the next king. Obviously, he was also affected by today's matter. He didn't want to give Second Prince and the other princes any more fantasies. If the other princes had any unrealistic thoughts, they might do something extreme. Just like today.    

    

Therefore, by doing so now, the emperor had completely cut off the thoughts that the other princes should not have. In that case, the matter of brothers being crippled would not happen again.    

    

"No, you can't do that!" Second Prince, who couldn't accept the truth, suddenly shouted.    

    

The king frowned and said, "Do I need your permission to make any decision? I am not dead yet, and I am still the king of this country!"    

    

"Your majesty, please calm down!" All the ministers said.    

    

Obviously, the king was angered by Second Prince's attitude. He was still the king of this country, and his words carried weight. Even if Second Prince was his son, he did not have the right and authority to question his own decision.    

    

However, Second Prince, who had been struck by reality, didn't feel afraid, nor did he choose to retreat.
