However, Lu Yuping knew that he could not persuade his junior sister.

She had been a great consort for many years. Although it seemed glorious, the things that happened in the past were still in her mind. As time passed, she became more and more stubborn.

Great Consort Hui glanced at her father who was tied up. She felt even more frustrated.

She had a terrible headache.

She did not know if it was because she had done too many things in the past few years, but as she got older, the pain in her body grew more and more.

She often had a splitting headache, and even the doctors could not figure it out. On rainy days, the pain in her body was even more intense, and it was as if her bones were about to break.

The more this was the case, the more hatred she felt in her heart.

…

Although the grand preceptor was tied up at this moment, he was still quite calm.

There was karma. If he owed her something, he would return it. He did not have any regrets or desires in his life.

…

At this moment, Xie Pinggang was furious.

He could accept the grand preceptor’s death, but it did not mean that he could tolerate that person taking him away right under his nose!

Moreover, if the grand preceptor died, he would have to leave his corpse intact and be buried in glory, right? However, now, there was not even a shadow left. Where could he find him? That Great Consort Hui was a coward. After getting people to buy blood, that was the end of it. Now, there was not even a single clue!

They had almost searched all the residences in the capital…

Xie Pinggang was unhappy, and there were even more unhappy people in the court.

The grand preceptor’s disappearance made the emperor very unhappy. Early in the morning, he reprimanded a few people who had made small mistakes.

That was fine, but two days ago, the Crown Prince went crazy and actually asked to be deposed in the court…

To be honest, some of the officials were happy for the Crown Prince to have such a realization. After all, after the Fourth Prince married his wife, it did not take long for good news to spread that she was already pregnant. In a few months, an imperial grandchild would be born!

What about the Crown Prince?!

There was nothing.

Could he have a child or not?

They had already accepted the Crown Prince as the emperor. It was fine if it was useless, they could not bring him down anyway. Furthermore, the Crown Prince was indeed talented and virtuous, but since they saw him as the heir and looked at his wife… They were disgusted.

She was not wealthy, and she was not considered noble.

Her health was not good either. She had married into the family for so long, but there was no news at all.

If she could not have children, she should at least be sensible and let the Crown Prince choose his concubines, right? However… They heard that the Crown Prince’s residence was extremely quiet. There was not even a maid who climbed onto the bed!

They paid close attention, but they did not dare to say anything.

They knew that the Crown Prince could not be provoked.

There were even a few stubborn people who were thinking that after the Crown Prince ascended the throne, in a dozen or twenty years, if he still did not have children, then he would give up the throne. The Fourth Prince would definitely try his best to give birth to a few good-natured children

They had thought so far ahead, but they did not expect the Crown Prince to suddenly abdicate.

While they were happy, they actually felt a little uneasy. It felt like they were stepping on cotton, and they could not help but feel a little worried. They could not even sleep well…

In the open and in the dark, many people inquired about the reason.

Unfortunately, they could not find out.

They could only guess.

Some people thought the Crown Prince felt that it was inappropriate for him to have his hand crippled and had accepted it. However, only a few people thought that. After all, something had happened to the Crown Prince’s hand when he was twelve or thirteen years old. After so many years, he had never come to such a realization.

More people felt that the Crown Prince was loyal.

It must be that the Princess Consort’s body was already at the end of its flight. The Crown Prince was deeply agitated, so… he had seen through the mortal world?
