Chapter 1096: Remove the Heir Apparent

“You were under house arrest! What did you run to the Fourth’s residence for!?” Ning Shu glowered at Mu Xue. “We had you reflect in confinement, yet you’ve disobeyed our imperial decree. Crown Prince, you practically have no regard for the law nor natural morality. You want to take our imperial throne right now, is that it?”

Mu Xue kowtowed hard as she said fearfully, “This subject daughter doesn’t dare. This subject daughter swears she has no such intentions.”

Mu Xue took a deep breath. When she saw that Ning Shu’s gaze was filled with wariness and loathing as she looked at her, she hastily continued knocking her head against the ground and repeatedly saying, “This subject daughter was wrongly accused.”

Ning Shu wiped at her tears, then said fiercely, “As the eldest sister, as the heir apparent to the nature, you do not empathize with the citizens above and do not care for your sisters below. How are we supposed to hand the nation of Daylily over to you when you’re like this?”

“What reason drove you to disobey the imperial decree and run to the Fourth’s residence while you were supposed to be in confinement?” Ning Shu couldn’t quite stand anymore. She staggered a bit, so Court Lady Qiu hastily walked over to support her and have someone bring over a chair.

Mu Xue was kneeling on the ground, her forehead pressed to the floor, silent. No matter what she said right now, it’d be wrong.

Mu Xue glanced at Ning Shu who was now sitting on the chair out of the corner of her eye. Her expression was extremely sinister, like she was about to pick someone to rip apart.

A trace of cold scorn appeared on Mu Xue’s face. Wasn’t it such heart-piercing pain to lose the daughter you love the most?

“Why exactly did you guys end up in a dispute? Crown Prince, have you become mute?” Ning Shu’s body was trembling severely.

Mu Xue pressed her lips tightly together. Could she say that she had heard about there being a dragon robe in the fourth prince’s residence? It had been definite news. A craftsman had helped Mu Yao create a dragon robe. That was why she took the risk to visit the fourth prince’s residence and have her subordinate search for traces of the dragon robe.

When she got to the fourth prince’s residence, she saw that Mu Yao and Yuan Jun were having breakfast and they were even sweetly feeding each other. She had only said in passing, “You two sure are affectionate.”

Mu Yao had instantly snapped back angrily, “What does Eldest Imperial Sister mean by this? Could it be that it’s wrong for me to be affectionate with my husband?”

Perhaps it was because Mu Xue’s voice had contained a slight trace of scorn and Mu Yao had happened to acutely sense it. Mu Yao started noisily demanding what Mu Xue meant by that.

Mu Xue got a bit irritated, so she reached out and pushed Mu Yao who was making a ruckus in front of her aside. This one push caused the entire incident. Mu Yao lost her balance, and when she fell, the back of her head knocked against the corner of the table.

The entire incident had happened so suddenly that even Mu Xue couldn’t react to it.

Now, Mu Xue was kneeling on the ice-cold tiles. Her heart chilled. She had fallen into someone’s trap.

However, she quickly calmed down and stopped saying that she was wrongly accused. Instead, she said, “This subject daughter had pushed Mu Xue, but this subject daughter had never thought about trying to kill the fourth prince. This subject daughter isn’t worthy of being the heir apparent. Imperial Mother, please remove this subject daughter from this position.”

“Your Majesty, please quell your anger! How can the heir apparent be removed this carelessly?” All the ministers knelt down to plead for leniency for Mu Xue.

“Your Majesty, removing the heir apparent will destabilize the country. Your Majesty, please reconsider. This incident with the fourth prince was an accident.” A minister walked forward with a memorial and presented it with a slight bow.

Ning Shu glanced at the ministers kneeling on the ground, then at Mu Xue who was kneeling as well with an expression of sincere regret.

They were threatening her!?
