Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 767 - 588: Dynasty, Daye has come to an end_2
But if he is not the Emperor, what else can he be?
What will these people do to him?
Thinking of this, tears welled up in those eyes still filled with childlike innocence, and even more with fear of the unknown. He looked tearfully at the civil and military officials below, these ministers who had countless times bowed deeply to him, called him ’Long Live’, and vowed loyalty to him and the Dynasty. They now looked at him with a foreign gaze, as if he were a small cat or dog dangling off a cliff.
Not a single person would save him...
Chu Chengfei listened to the echoing ’Long Live’ in the grand hall, but he was trembling uncontrollably. Suddenly, he turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "I, I want to go back..."
"Your Majesty."
"My sister hasn’t awakened, she was in pain from the choking, I want to go back to accompany her."
"...Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess is already fine, but the morning court session—"
"I don’t, I don’t want to stay here, I want to go back..."
Chu Chengfei said, already frightened to remain, immediately wanting to get up and run to the harem, but the eunuch reached out to hold his shoulder, smilingly said, "Your Highness, you cannot leave."
"..."
"The morning court session—there is something important that needs doing."
Hearing this, Chu Chengfei’s tears almost fell, but he seemed to understand that even his close eunuch felt this way, his dearest elder sister was not by his side either, could not be his support. He was really like a little cat that had fallen into a cliff, with nothing to do but let out a desperate whimper. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
At this moment, he could only look at the ministers in the hall below, looking at those eyes that were cold, unfamiliar, sympathetic, and even—mocking.
In a trembling voice, he said, "What are you going to do?"
"..."
At this time, there was no sound in the hall.
Everyone looked at each other.
Although everyone knew, at this time, a few words could turn the tide, things could happen, but truly at this time facing this weeping, contemplating young Emperor sitting on the Dragon Chair, they could not say a word.
This—not only was it bullying the young Emperor.
It was also the last, the heaviest blow to the Chu Dynasty.
The previous matter might just be idle talk after dinner, when a new era comes, who would look back and care about such matters?
But the latter—was different.
That would be recorded in history, passed down through the ages!
Would it be infamy or a good tale, who could say?
Even someone as resolute as Ji Hong, who forced the Eldest Princess to make a promise to ’abdicate’ in the last court, seemed hesitant now. When he looked up at the weeping young Emperor on the Dragon Chair, tears fell from his chaotic, aged eyes too.
Seeing him like this, the officials around were also at a loss.
Who would dare to say this sentence?
Who dares to say it!?
This ambiguity and hesitation quickly spread like a plague in the hall, everyone stumbled and stalled, causing the whole situation to freeze.
No one spoke, so Chu Chengfei could stay seated on the Dragon Chair.
Furthermore, unable to get down.
Seeing this, Chu Chengfei quivered and choked, saying, "What, what are you all going to do?"
"..."
"You, you’re not going to do anything, are you?"
"..."
"If you are not going to act, then, I—"
At this moment, his weak voice reached outside the hall, at the gate of the side hall, Shang Ruyi broke into cold sweat.
Even though she knew, reaching today’s step, the Yuwen Family would not retreat, the Chu Dynasty had reached its end, yet often things would get stuck at such a small point. If indeed no one spoke, how would this situation unfold?
She suddenly felt panicked, instinctively wanting to step forward.
But right then, the tightly closed door behind her suddenly let out a long, hoarse boom, then slowly opened!
"...!"
Shang Ruyi’s footsteps halted and she immediately stopped.
She turned her head, only to see a familiar, slender yet dignified figure standing at the door of the side hall, wearing ceremonial attire, more majestic and noble than ever before.
It was Empress Dowager Jiang!
Seeing her, Shang Ruyi’s breath choked, she even forgot to blink, her eyes wide open, looking at that beautiful yet pale face, seemingly blankly empty for a moment, making Shang Ruyi feel as if her entire soul was absent.
