236: C236 Pushing the Boat along with the Current

C236 Pushing the Boat along with the Current

Ye Tian was also curious about what this Chu King wanted to do to his son.

And setting such a big trap, Chu King's target couldn't possibly be an insignificant prince like Hsiang Yunli.

"Father, please calm down. There are still many flaws in this matter. What Third Brother, Ye Tian, and even Fifth Brother's servants said can't be regarded as the most accurate evidence!"

At this moment, Crown Prince Hsing Yunyang who was standing at the side spoke, wanting to protect Hsiang Yunli.

Although Hsiang Yunli wasn't as important as an ordinary guest elder in front of him, he was still a prince who followed him. If something were to happen so easily, no one would be able to choose the Crown Prince's side loyally in the future.

Furthermore, Hsiang Yunli knew a lot of things, forcing a dog to jump over a wall in desperation. No one knew what would happen next. Hsiang Yunyang had to be careful as well.

"Big Brother, save me! It was these two bastards who framed me. Big Brother, you know me. I'm only loyal to Big Brother. Big Brother, you have to save me!"

Before Ye Tian could retort, Hsiang Yunli lost control of himself and crawled to Hsiang Yunyang's side, protecting his leg. He spoke in a somewhat crazy manner.

It would be better if he didn't say such words. After he finished speaking, he almost made Hsiang Yunyang follow him into the water. At this moment, Hsiang Yunyang even regretted what he said just now.

Whether it was the people of Chu Country or the members of the royal family, they had to be loyal to Chu King. Even the Crown Prince was no exception.

Now, Hsiang Yunli had spared Chu King's life and was loyal to the Crown Prince. To put it in a smaller way, they were brothers, but to put it in a more serious way, they were conspiring against each other!

When one was born in the royal family, one had to be careful about these things. If one was not careful, the Emperor would be suspicious. Hsiang Yunli did not care about it now, but as the Crown Prince, Hsiang Yunyang had to keep his innocence.

After Hsiang Yunli finished speaking, the whole scene became silent. It made Ye Tian want to laugh, but he could not show it.

Ye Tian admired Hsiang Yunli for his tricks.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are all subjects of the king, we need to pledge our loyalty to the king. I think you are really crazy!"

Hsiang Yunyang immediately cut off his relationship with Hsiang Yunli and did not want to have any connection with him anymore.

Even if this matter was resolved, Hsiang Yunyang swore to stay away from Hsiang Yunli after this. He could not let this old man stay on his side!

"Father is wise and decisive. Fifth Prince Hsiang Yunli's rude behavior is suspected to be crazy. Father, please punish him severely. Do not let the Imperial Court be shamed!"

A moment ago, he was still a good elder brother who had helped him, but now, he was the key person to add insult to injury. He couldn't help but feel disappointed by the familial love in the Imperial Family.

However, Ye Tian knew that this had nothing to do with him. What he needed to do was to help Hsiang Yunjie ascend the throne. The lives of the other princes did not matter to him.

This was the principle of success and death since ancient times. Being soft-hearted would only speed up his own failure.

Hsiang Yunjie couldn't watch such a thing. He only wanted to expose Hsiang Yunli's arrogance, but Hsiang Yunyang's action would only make the matter even more serious.

He wanted to plead for mercy, but was stopped by Ye Tian's gaze. Helpless, he could only wait for the final result.

"Hsiang Yunli, you still have a year before you are conferred the title of adulthood. Although you are not an adult yet, you need to know what you should do..."

"Your current mistake is related to my lack of discipline. From today onwards, you will be stripped of your royal status. Stay here. The title of the prince, the salary, the residence, and everything else will be handed over. Go to your mother's family and reflect on yourself..."

Chu King calmly decided Hsiang Yunli's punishment. It seemed like no one was affected by it, but it was a huge disgrace to Hsiang Yunli!

A second ago, he was still a prince, but now, he only kept the title of prince. He was no longer a real prince.

In the future, any activity of the imperial family had nothing to do with Hsiang Yunli. He said that he wanted Hsiang Yunli to join his mother's family, but with his status, how could the family behind his mother accept a useless piece of trash?

The previous respect was limited to the fact that Hsiang Yunli was a prince. Once he left this identity, he would have no effect on his mother's family.

However, since the king's order had been given, Hsiang Yunli couldn't change it. He could only accept it silently.

Hsiang Yunjie sighed. Hsiang Yunyang didn't care about it at all. On the contrary, he was satisfied with the punishment.2

Because no one would believe Hsiang Yunli's words, even if he bore a grudge against Hsiang Yunyang in the future.

Chu King ordered the guards to take Hsiang Yunli away. He didn't have any feelings for his son in his eyes. After all, he was able to sit on the throne, and the familial love he had given up had already made him feel numb.

After that, Hsiang Yunjie reported all the related matters in Tiannan Province to Chu King. Chu King also praised him.

"Yunjie, you have grown a lot in these few months, but you have to thank Ye Tian. If you didn't have such help, you wouldn't have been able to progress so smoothly!"

Chu King put Ye Tian in front of him, and indirectly gave Ye Tian a big favor.

Hsiang Yunyang's face was kind, but he was more afraid of Ye Tian in his heart.

If Ye Tian was not eliminated, Hsiang Yunjie's path would only become wider and wider. In the future, he would be the one to fight for the throne.

When they saw Chu King coming to an end, Ye Tian and Hsiang Yunjie walked out. Before they could even reach the entrance of the palace, they heard Hsiang Yunyang's shout behind them.

But this time, Hsiang Yunyang's name wasn't his younger brother, but Ye Tian.

"Mr. Ye, you and my third brother left a little too quickly. It made me chase after you!"

Hsiang Yunyang was no longer as cold as before. Facing Ye Tian, he actually had a feeling of being close to an old friend!

"Mr. Ye, there is a three-eyed ice phoenix in my prefecture tonight. I specially invited a famous chef from the Huai region to slaughter it. It is a kind of enjoyment to cook dishes and wine..."

"I wonder if Mr. Ye will give me face and come to my humble abode to drink a cup of wine. Yunjie, you can't stop me from doing so!"

Hsiang Yunyang showed a very respectful attitude. He didn't call himself the Crown Prince, but this respectful attitude made Ye Tian even more cautious than usual.

If Hsiang Yunyang only wanted to be on good terms with Ye Tian, he wouldn't have done those things in the past. Now that he had such an attitude, if he didn't treat him with caution, he was afraid that no one would be able to react in time.

"Crown Prince, just say what you want to say. Grace Marquis and I still have a lot of things to do in the afternoon. We have yet to find a place to stay, so we are afraid that we won't be able to accompany you..."

Ye Tian waved his hand and rejected Hsiang Yunyang's invitation.

He knew that the Demon Beast made by the Three Eyed Ice Phoenix was a very delicious and expensive ingredient. Apart from the royal family, even the aristocratic families of the imperial city wouldn't be able to see even half of it in a year.

However, Ye Tian did not covet it. Between food and life, foodies would not choose the former.

"Look, this is still because of my third brother. Let Mr. Ye spend so much effort. Alright, I have a courtyard in the Imperial City that I bought myself. It has nothing to do with the Imperial Family. The location is ordinary, but if third brother likes it... Just take it! "

"This way, Third Brother and Mr. Ye will have a lot of time to spare. Third Brother, can you spare some time and let Mr. Ye give you some face?"

Hsiang Yunyang was very smart. He didn't speak to Ye Tian at this moment, but directly communicated with Hsiang Yunjie.

In the eyes of outsiders, a harmonious relationship between brothers and sisters was a beautiful scene, and no one knew how many big waves were hidden in it!
