Establish the Crown Prince!

During the morning court session.

The ministers who were eligible to enter the imperial palace hall, as usual, walked orderly and swiftly towards their respective positions!

But soon, they were horrified to find that on the left side of the dragon throne, there was an additional chair of a higher standard and more luxurious!

"What's going on? Why are there two thrones?"

"Could it be that the empress is going to attend the court?"

"That shouldn't be the case. As the saying goes, 'leave the left seat vacant as a mark of respect'. In our dynasty, the left has been regarded as superior since ancient times! Even if the empress were to attend the court today, she should be seated on the right side of the emperor!"

"Something big is about to happen!"

"..."

Those who were whispering among themselves were, without exception, newbies.

As for the old - timers, they had all pretended to be as quiet as quails.

They knew that the situation was about to change!

Because the last time the chair on the left appeared was when Wu Lingtian ascended the throne.

And the time before that was when Wu Lingtian was appointed as the crown prince.

Thinking about Cao Wenbin, who had been in Tianwu City for several months, these old - timers immediately understood.

"The chair on the left is prepared for the young master!"

They were not wrong.

When the normal procedures were completed and it was time for the emperor to enter, the first one to come in was not Wu Lingtian, but Cao Wenbin, the young master.

At this moment, even those newbies didn't dare to make a sound.

They were afraid of getting into trouble.

"Young master, will you make the announcement, or should I do it on your behalf?"

Although his heart was bleeding, after the two of them took their seats one after another, Wu Lingtian still asked with a smile on his face.

"You do it. After all, this is your territory."

"What a heart - rending insult!"

Although he was clenching his teeth so hard that they were almost broken, his face was still full of smiles.

"Okay."

After that, Wu Lingtian took out a memory - retaining stone.

Then, the scene in the secret realm where Wu Chengqian threw a sword at Cao Wenbin when he retreated appeared in front of everyone.

Silence.

The ministers below were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Those die - hard supporters of Wu Chengqian were on the verge of fainting.

Attacking the young master and leaving evidence, what kind of crime was this?

It seemed that such a situation had never occurred in the thousands of years of history of the Wu Heavenly Dynasty.

And just when everyone was considering what punishment the third prince would receive, Wu Lingtian's voice rang out again.

"Wu Chengqian attacked the young master without cause, which is an extremely heinous crime."

"Now, I announce that his status as a prince will be stripped, and he will be demoted to a commoner."

"A top - level wanted warrant will be issued. Whoever encounters this criminal can kill him on the spot."

"Exchange his head for a reward."

"..."

At first, Cao Wenbin was all smiles.

After all, the drama of a father killing his son was really good.

But soon, his eyes narrowed.

"Without cause? Exchange his head for money?"

"Wu Lingtian has an ulterior motive in his words."

"It seems that I can't keep him anymore."

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Cao Wenbin's eyes.

However, Wu Lingtian, who didn't know that disaster was about to befall him, was still talking eloquently.

"To save the young master the trouble of coming again later, I announce that Wu Chengfeng will be appointed as the crown prince of our Tianwu Dynasty."

"The grand ceremony will be held soon."

...

In the empress's palace.

After the court session, Wu Chengfeng didn't hesitate at all and rushed directly into his mother's bedchamber.

"Mom, I've been appointed as the crown prince!"

"I've finally been appointed as the crown prince!"

"Haha, that third brother of mine was finally outmaneuvered!"

Looking at her son, who was so excited that he was almost losing his head, Pei Luoxue shook her head helplessly.

"Can't you be more stable?"

"How can you be a good emperor with such a state of mind?"

Wu Chengfeng, who was used to being scolded, curled his lips in disdain. "What does state of mind have to do with being a good emperor?"

"Wu Chengqian has a good state of mind and always stands up for the people, but what's the use of that?"

"In my opinion, as long as you can hold onto the Cao family's thigh tightly, even a pig can become the best emperor."

Pei Luoxue was stunned.

She really didn't expect that her son could have such insight.

It seemed that she had underestimated this boy.

But before she could praise him, a burst of loud laughter suddenly reached their ears.

"Good, good. This is the perfect emperor."

"At least you can tell who's in charge."

"You're much better than your father and your so - called younger brother."

Without hesitation, Wu Chengfeng immediately wanted to kneel down and pay his respects.

But he was stopped by Cao Wenbin with a wave of his hand.

After all, he was about to... with his mother soon.

"We'll be family soon, so don't bother with these formalities."

"Okay, go and prepare for the sacrificial ceremony to heaven."

"Don't disturb your mother here anymore."

"Understood. I'll leave right away."

After a couple of forced smiles, Wu Chengfeng disappeared on the spot.

He wasn't stupid.

Although he didn't understand at first, after thinking for such a long time, he understood everything.

Next, Cao Wenbin was surely going to collect his reward.

If he lingered any longer, the newly - obtained crown prince position might be lost.

And he was right.

As soon as his figure disappeared, Cao Wenbin immediately put his arm around Pei Luoxue's slender waist and walked towards the master bedroom.

"Young master, let's go to a hotel outside."

"No."

"It's agreed that the first time will be in the imperial palace."
