The grand hall of the Tianli Empire's court, with numerous ministers lined up on both sides, was so silent that a pin drop could be heard. Those usually high-ranking and powerful dignitaries now all wore grave expressions, as if mourning a deceased elder.
The sudden deaths of the Six Ministers and Zhennan Wang had already thrown the entire court into turmoil, leaving everyone anxious.
"Crown Prince Yuanqing has made enemies without reason, causing the tragic deaths of the Six Ministers. I propose that he be stripped of his position in the Eastern Palace and demoted to a commoner as a deterrent to others."
A minister stepped forward, breaking away from the crowd.
"I second the motion! Crown Prince Yuanqing's violent tendencies have outraged both heaven and man, and this disaster he caused must not be taken lightly."
"We hope Your Majesty will make a decision, lest the Empire's foundation be shaken by the misconduct of an unfavored prince."
