Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 324: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 52

"Uncle, what did Cheng Xiuran do? Why did he cause the heavens to send down thunderbolts that destroyed the entire Chaoyang Palace? Even my father's Yangxin Palace was..."

"Humph! Haven't he done enough dirty things? I think God has finally opened his eyes and removed this cancer of the royal family! As for my brother..."

Cheng Xiaoze sighed and continued, "We can only blame that vicious woman Li Wanrong for corrupting the child. Otherwise, with the guidance of my brother, he wouldn't have become so bad!"

"Yes! The abolition of Cheng Xiuran is indeed beneficial to us, but everything that happened today will still affect the fate of the country. I am afraid that even if the emperor takes these measures, it will not be able to dispel the panic of the people."

"This is inevitable, so we must be extremely cautious in every step we take next and not make any mistakes. You and I are not Cheng Xiuran, and we don't have that crucial 'golden medal of immunity from death'."

Cheng Shangyu nodded, and the two of them went on to discuss a series of targeted measures to deal with the chain reactions that might arise from this incident.

Time soon came to the day before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings.

On this day, Cheng Xiuran, who had been in a coma for more than ten days, suddenly woke up.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, you're awake!" The servant who was about to come in to deliver medicine happened to see this scene. He quickly put down the medicine and ran out to call the imperial physician in.

"Hey! Ah..." Cheng Xiuran raised his hand to stop it, but pulled the wound on his leg and cried out in pain.

"My legs..." Why couldn't he move his legs at all? Why did he feel such excruciating pain whenever he pulled them?

Thunder and lightning!

By the way, that day when Chaoyang Palace caught fire, he was about to run out! But something seemed to hit his leg...

No! Who is it? Who is harming him?

The emperor's uncle? The fifth brother?

No, none of them are right!

They don’t dare. They don’t dare to act so blatantly!

Who is that!

Cheng Xiuran tried his best to think hard but could not figure out the reason. The constant pain in his legs kept irritating his nerves and brain, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

"This old minister pays respect to His Royal Highness the Second Prince..."

At this moment, the imperial physician who suddenly came in from outside interrupted Cheng Xiuran's thoughts.

Second prince?

This unfamiliar name made Cheng Xiu Ran a little dazed for a moment.

The imperial physician kneeling below saw that Cheng Xiuran had not asked him to stand up, and then he remembered that he had no idea what happened to the Second Prince after he fell into a coma.

Naturally, he didn't know that his position as crown prince had been abolished, and even his legs were crippled, making him unable to stand anymore. He could only rely on precious medicinal herbs to stay alive all day long to avoid dying from his leg injury.

At this moment, beads of sweat the size of beans were slowly flowing down the imperial physician's forehead, and his back was already soaked with his own cold sweat.

What the hell is going on? How unlucky was he to be sent to serve this difficult ancestor?

It just so happened that the Second Prince woke up today, and it just so happened that today was his turn to be on duty, and he accidentally lost his head...

"What... are you talking about? What Second Prince... explain it to me clearly!" Cheng Xiuran already had a bad feeling in his heart. At this moment, he didn't even think about punishing the imperial physician who offended him. He just wanted to figure out the current situation.

"Your Majesty...I have made a mistake. I know my crime." The imperial physician did not dare to answer Cheng Xiuran directly, so he had to pretend to be ignorant and kowtowed to apologize.

"You...you shut up! Tell me...ah!" Cheng Xiuran was so excited that he picked up his pillow and threw it at the imperial physician.

Because the movement was too large, he pulled his legs.

"Ah... it hurts, it hurts so much!" Cheng Xiuran cried out in pain while lying on the bed. He wanted to hug his legs but found that he could not move at all, so he had to bite the quilt to relieve the pain.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, veins popped out, and he looked horrible.

"Your Highness! Your Highness... Could you please allow me to examine you first?" the imperial physician said tremblingly.

However, before Cheng Xiuran nodded, a voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"

In an instant, everyone knelt down.

"Everyone, get out!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall lowered their heads and walked out slowly. Even Cheng Jinyi's personal attendant Fude, after receiving his gaze, walked out and closed the door considerately.

At this time, only Cheng Jinyi and Cheng Xiuran were left in the hall.

Looking at Cheng Xiuran's extremely painful expression, Cheng Jinyi felt pain in his heart.

"Xiuran, you..."

Cheng Xiuran interrupted Cheng Jinyi before he finished speaking: "Father, why do they call me the Second Prince?"

Cheng Xiuran endured the pain, looked up at Cheng Jinyi and questioned him.

"Is this the first thing you want to ask after waking up? Is the position of Crown Prince so important to you?"

Seeing the obvious disappointment on Cheng Jinyi's face, Cheng Xiuran laughed at himself: "So... Father, do you admit that you have... abolished me?"

Seeing that Cheng Xiuran's expression was different from his usual decadent look, Cheng Jinyi couldn't help it anymore and turned his head away without looking at him again.

"Tell me, what did you do before this incident to anger the gods and bring down heavenly punishment? Even I...even I have been implicated by you. The cracks in front of the Yangxin Palace are telling me all the time that I, as an emperor, am not recognized by heaven!"

What?! Even the palace of my father was struck by lightning!

Hearing this, Cheng Xiuran looked at Cheng Jinyi in shock.

It's him! Is it really him who caused this?

Cheng Jinyi took a deep breath and said again: "The entire Chaoyang Palace was completely destroyed. There were at least hundreds of people in the palace, and no one was injured except you. How could there be such a coincidence, Xiuran, can you explain it clearly?"

"Father, if I say I didn't do it, would you believe it?" Cheng Xiuran said with hope in his eyes.

"Cheng Xiuran, at this point, are you still going to hide and make excuses?"

Cheng Jinyi did not notice the caution and hope in Cheng Xiuran's eyes. He just thought that he would do the same as before, not admitting his mistakes and passing the burden to others, so he threw the ceramic ornaments beside him to the ground and roared.

The hope in Cheng Xiuran's eyes was completely shattered. He laughed at himself and said, "Father, I don't want to hide it." He was just afraid that his father couldn't bear it.

"Then what do you want to do! Where is that confidant who has always been by your side? Why did he disappear some time ago? What did he and his men do? The people I sent out could not find any trace of them, it's as if they disappeared out of thin air!"

"Him? I sent him out... to massacre the whole village!"

"What!" Hearing Cheng Xiuran's casual words as if they were commonplace, Cheng Jinyi's eyes widened, his legs became weak and he could not stand. He took a few steps back and only managed to stand firm by holding onto the door frame.

"You..." Cheng Jinyi's voice trembled. He wanted to ask something else, but he couldn't say it.

"Oh, why are you so excited, father? Don't you recognize me? I am your favorite son, Cheng Xiuran!"
