Even if Lin Feng was foolish, at this moment, he finally realized that this was a meticulously designed trap from the very beginning! If this matter were to spread carelessly, although it wouldn't cost him his life, he would likely face ruthless confinement from his father, the Emperor. Once imprisoned, he feared he would never see the light of day again.
At this moment, the imposing Wu Emperor, Lin Zhen, was coldly gazing down at Lin Feng, who knelt before him. Just moments ago, the Crown Prince had reported the entire incident in detail to Lin Zhen. According to the Crown Prince, Lin Feng had been drinking merrily with Cheng Chuhe and Wei An when he suddenly caught sight of Xia Qingyu in the adjacent private room. Instantly captivated by her stunning beauty, a fierce desire ignited within him, leading him to attempt to forcefully claim this enchanting woman.
To achieve this, Lin Feng had taken a reckless risk and secretly administered a Mysterious Drug to Xia Qingyu. To verify the Crown Prince's claims, Wu Emperor Lin Zhen promptly summoned Cheng Chuhe and Wei An. After a thorough interrogation, their accounts aligned perfectly with what the Crown Prince had described.
Faced with such undeniable evidence, Lin Feng felt as if he were plunging into an abyss, his body chilled and cold sweat pouring down his face. He lowered his head, unable to meet his father's gaze.
"Feng Er," a chilling voice echoed through the air, sending shivers down his spine.
"Father, it wasn't me! I was drunk and didn't know anything; how could I do such a thing?" Lin Feng pleaded desperately.
"At this point, you still dare to argue," his father replied coldly.
Lin Feng realized that any explanation would be futile; his father did not believe him. Just then, Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji arrived at the palace seeking an audience.
"Let him in," Lin Zhen commanded.
Once Xia Yuanji entered, he immediately knelt before Lin Zhen and began to weep profusely as he spoke:
"Your Majesty, please uphold justice for this old minister. I wish to file a lawsuit against the Fourth Prince for insulting my daughter. If Your Majesty shows favoritism, I will take my own life in the Golden Hall."
Lin Zhen looked at Xia Yuanji, furrowing his brow. Though he had doubts, the evidence was right before him. He knew well that Xia Yuanji was a man of integrity; if he did not provide a satisfactory explanation, it would be difficult to quell the public's unrest.
"I will not show favoritism; I will certainly give my loyal ministers a fair resolution," Lin Zhen replied solemnly. After speaking, he turned his gaze to Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, from today onward, your status as a prince is revoked for three years. You will be demoted to a commoner and are forbidden from claiming your identity as a prince during this time."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng shook his head. He had not left this place in three years. In truth, he was well aware that this assassination attempt was likely orchestrated by his older brother, who appeared virtuous but harbored ulterior motives.
Lin Feng was not foolish; he should have realized this long ago. The Wei Family was indeed the greatest supporter of the Crown Prince. As for Lin Feng, he had no desire for the throne. Yet even after he had made it clear that he wanted no part in the struggle, his brother still refused to let him go.
"I have already withdrawn voluntarily, yet you still won't let it rest!" Lin Feng murmured in frustration. Reflecting on the past in the capital, he recalled how several of his brothers had been secretly competing against him and had even tried to trap him multiple times.
Looking out the window, Lin Feng sighed and said, "It has been three years; it is time to return."
The next morning...
