Born to be a star? The abstinent prince dotes on her

Chapter 397: Withdraw from the competition?

Chu Heng thought again of last night when his father praised Chu Yan in front of the King of Nanyue, various important officials in the court, and other princes.

Thinking about it now, his words seemed to vindicate him.

A palace banquet to entertain a foreign king actually allowed him, a man charged with treason, to steal the limelight.

The obvious preference I had for him back then seems to have returned!

He was too familiar with it! It had been his nightmare for many years! People who didn't know would think that he, Chu Yan, was the crown prince!

How could he swallow this?

"Do you think his next step will be to depose my son and appoint Chu Yan as the crown prince again?"

Chu Heng was so angry that he had a headache. He said it without thinking! Anyway, he was so upset that he couldn't help but speak out.

I was almost suffocated last night! I heard this thunderbolt again early this morning!

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The queen's face suddenly turned gloomy. Fortunately, she had dismissed everyone and only left the nanny.

"How can I say such nonsense? Didn't you hear what the emperor said last night?"

"Your Highness, please have a cup of tea and calm down."

"The Queen is here, she's not in a hurry, so you should calm down too!" The nanny brought him a cup of tea.

Chu Heng took it and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Mammy, you don't understand my feelings. How can I not think about it?!"

"Father's actions are really puzzling. What on earth does he want to do?"

After getting angry, Chu Heng leaned back in his chair, and his whole body instantly wilted.

"Mother, when are we going to take action?" Chu Heng sat back down and asked with concern.

He was more anxious than anyone else now, but seeing that his mother was still drinking tea, she seemed completely unmoved.

How could his mother be so patient?

"You are always like this. You can't even handle this little bit of stimulation. How can you do bigger things in the future?"

"What if your father is testing you on purpose?"

"If I were you, I would congratulate him in person on his re-examination of the injustice. Be happy for him."

"In this way, your father will think that you are broad-minded and have the qualities to be a crown prince," the queen said earnestly.

Chu Heng really didn't want to listen.

"Mother, you actually asked me to go and congratulate him?"

"Can you do it? If you can't, your father might reconsider you!"

"No matter how much you hate him in private, you must never show it in public!"

"If you can't even do the superficial work, how can you take on big responsibilities in the future?" When the queen said this, a hint of displeasure welled up in her heart again.

He must be her own son, otherwise she would have kicked him out long ago. Useless thing!

"My son, I know."

"I will come to congratulate you in person later." Chu Heng had no choice but to agree to his mother's request.

"Wait until he goes to court and then congratulate him in front of all the ministers. If you bring people to his house yourself, you will definitely be tricked by them and become a target of gossip."

Chu Heng felt anxious and uncomfortable. His mother really underestimated him!

"I understand, son." But now he has to always listen to his mother.

The queen had said everything she needed to say, and it was time to comfort him. Otherwise, if he made trouble at the last critical moment, no one would be able to recover.

"If you can be patient, you won't have to wait too long!" the queen said soothingly.

These words were the motivation for Chu Heng to endure, otherwise he really couldn't wait even a moment.

"You must hold on at the last critical moment, otherwise all your previous efforts will come to naught."

"I understand, son." Chu Heng responded in a low voice.

There was nothing he could do now except listen to his mother's words.

The second prince Chu Xing was also very angry.

Who would have thought that Chu Yan could make a comeback in his lifetime?

Originally, he thought that his father praised him last night just to maintain the reputation of their Great Chu in front of the foreign kings.

Unexpectedly, he actually issued an order to pardon him directly and restore his position.

"Mother, what do you think we should do? Chu Yan is innocent, and father has allowed him to participate in government affairs. Will he return to his previous state?"

Chu Xing was so anxious that he jumped up and down and paced back and forth in front of Concubine Shu.

The imperial edict issued by my father came so unexpectedly.

Thinking of the grudge between him and Chu Yan, he had often taken advantage of others' misfortunes.

He will definitely take revenge now that he has recovered!

Concubine Shu was no longer surprised, shocked or angry. Now, seeing her son like this, she felt annoyed by him turning around like this.

"Xing'er, please sit down. You're making my eyes dizzy!"

"The ones who are most anxious right now are not us, but the Queen! It's the Crown Prince! They have the greatest sense of crisis!"

"Based on your father's personality, he will definitely continue to use Chu Yan. Chu Heng is the crown prince, do you think you can tolerate all this?" The corner of Shufei's mouth curled up with a sneer.

"The Queen has recently won over the commander of the Imperial Guard. I think she is planning something. We should be careful to avoid being implicated!" Concubine Shu said in a low voice.

"Don't get involved now. Your uncle is the general of the dynasty. No matter how they fight, if we don't get involved, we won't be involved."

"You, it would be nice to be crowned a king and live in your own fiefdom in the future!"

Chu Xing was shocked when he heard his mother say this.

"Mother, you don't want your son to fight with you anymore, do you?"

Concubine Shu sneered: "Fight? Now that Chu Yan has recovered, what can you use to fight with him? Can you beat him?"

"It's good enough that you can save your life and we can escape unscathed!"

Concubine Shu has now accepted her fate. She has seen through her idiot son clearly over the years.

Chu Xing was unwilling to accept this. Why did he just give up without fighting? His mother looked down on him too much!

"What are you thinking? Are you going to fight for it yourself?"

"If something happens, your mother won't be able to protect you." When Concubine Shu saw her son like this, she knew what he was thinking.

Doesn’t she understand her own son?

"Mother, do you look down on me so much?" Chu Xing was angry.

"I'm not looking down on you, it's just that you really can't beat them. Anyway, I can't beat the Queen. Even though I don't accept it in my heart, that's the fact. I don't want to die." Concubine Shu has already accepted her fate.

Originally she was only competing with Chu Heng, so she could still try harder.

But now, Chu Yan is back again. He has several powerful helpers around him, including Shen Yindi, Tingyin Pavilion, and the First Killer Organization.

The strength is stronger than before.

She couldn't defeat him back then, let alone now that he has been reborn from the ashes!

The emperor would definitely feel guilty about him and want to make it up to him.

She is not stupid and will not seek death.

"Humph, I am not convinced. How can you boost the morale of others and destroy my own prestige?"

"Xing'er, your mother has reminded you that if you still insist on doing what you want, if anything goes wrong, I will not rescue you in order to protect your brother." Concubine Shu said calmly.

But Chu Xing couldn't listen to a word they said!

He doesn't believe this evil!

He has thought of a solution!
