Chapter 158 Your Majesty, I request the execution of the eldest prince!
When he learned that the father of the child in Luo Xinyue's belly was Jun Lintian, Luo Wenshan finally felt relieved.

He was obviously relieved: "It's okay, it's not too bad."

"At least he is not a person without status or position."

But at this time, Luo Wenshan also looked at Luo Xinyue and couldn't help but say a few words to her.

"Xinyue, you are confused. If you have been killed by Jun Lintian... then you should also tell us."

"Now that things have already happened, we have to find a way to get through this. If we wait until the truth comes out, it will be troublesome to solve it later."

Luo Wenshan now really feels a lot more at ease.

Fortunately, the child in Luo Xinyue's belly is not a person of low status. Otherwise, Luo Wenshan would not be able to find help.

But he obviously didn't expect that the child in Luo Xinyue's belly was Jun Lintian's.

The Jun family is quite powerful in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they can gain the upper hand even against the eldest prince.

If Luo Wenshan could win over the support of the Jun family, then even if he couldn't gain a firm foothold in the court, at least he would be safe and sound.

As long as the eldest prince dies, no one will make a fuss about this matter anymore.

The Jun family is so powerful that it will definitely not be a problem for them to help the Luo family develop further.

Luo Xinyue felt relieved when she saw that her grandfather didn't seem that angry.

She quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Grandpa, Xinyue knows she was wrong, so this child... do you agree to stay?"

When Luo Wenshan heard this, he was immediately startled.

"Stay! Why not?"

"Since it's Jun Lintian's child, let's give birth to it. At least it will add a guarantee to our Luo family."

Luo Wenshan pondered for a moment and continued speaking.

"If Emperor Zhou blames us, even if Jun Lintian doesn't want to help our Luo family, he should at least protect his child, right?"

He was still a little worried in his heart, because he had previously represented the Luo family and stood on the side of the eldest prince.

Having caused Jun Lintian quite a bit of trouble, it was hard to guarantee whether the young master of the Jun family would bear a grudge.

But now that he has this child, Jun Lintian certainly can't just ignore it.

Mrs. Luo next to her was still frowning at this moment.

"But... Eunuch, what should we do with the eldest prince?"

"Although the eldest prince is still in prison, he will be released eventually. By then, his engagement with our Xinyue will be final..."

When Luo Wenshan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

After all, he is going to betray the eldest prince, and now Emperor Zhou also wants to save the eldest prince. If he cancels the engagement directly, it would be too disrespectful to the royal family.

But looking at Luo Xinyue's pregnant belly.

Luo Wenshan also became furious all of a sudden.

It is said that the victor is the king and the loser is the bandit, but if he loses, the entire Luo family will cease to exist.

Therefore, for the sake of his own family's interests, Luo Wenshan had no choice but to abandon the eldest prince and stand on the side of the Jun family.

As for the eldest prince...it would be better if he died.

Otherwise, as long as the eldest prince is alive, his engagement with Luo Xinyue will always stand.

And Luo Xinyue naturally could not remarry Jun Lintian.

Even if the eldest prince loses his current status, he is still a hidden danger if he is alive...

Day two.

In the morning court, in the council hall, Emperor Zhou discussed some important matters with a group of civil and military officials.

He then changed the subject and said, "Last night, I went to the Heavenly Prison and took a look at the eldest prince."

"I talked to the eldest prince for a while. He realized his mistakes in the prison. So I think that the eldest prince has been imprisoned for a long time..." "Is it possible to release him now?"

When Emperor Zhou had said this, he glanced at the other ministers in the Council Hall.

He coughed lightly and asked, "What do you think, my dear ministers?"

Originally, Emperor Zhou imprisoned the eldest prince in the Heavenly Prison as a delaying tactic.

When everyone has gradually forgotten what the eldest prince has done, no one will object when he is released.

But at this time, the Council Hall was exceptionally quiet, and not a single minister stood up to speak.

Emperor Zhou couldn't help but look towards Luo Wenshan.

Usually at this time, Luo Wenshan would be the first one to stand up and agree with him.

But why is he so abnormal today?

Not only did Luo Wenshan not speak much when they were discussing important matters just now, but now he even lowered his head, and it was unclear whether he was dozing off or doing something else.

"If you have no objection, I will have someone bring the eldest prince here."

Emperor Zhou had just finished speaking when he gestured with his hand. Then he saw two eunuchs and the eldest prince walking in from the door of the council hall.

As soon as the eldest prince came in, he immediately saluted respectfully towards Emperor Zhou.

"My son has met my father!"

At this moment, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, with a hint of a sneer.

As long as these ministers unanimously refuse to release him, today will be the day he leaves the Heavenly Prison!
Donghuang Taining and several other ministers couldn't help but frown when they saw the eldest prince coming so quickly.

It looks like Emperor Zhou must release the eldest prince today.

After all, the person has been brought to the Council Hall. Can he be sent back to the Heavenly Prison?

But Donghuang Taining is on the Jun family's side after all.

After a brief thought, he stood out from the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty! I think the eldest prince should not be released so early!"

"Right now, rumors are spreading all over the capital, and the whole capital is in a mess. If the eldest prince is released like this, I'm afraid the people of the capital will not accept it."

"Besides, many people in the capital have called for the execution of the eldest prince, and even some rumors a while ago have caused people to complain."

"The eldest prince is really too licentious. I think he should continue to reflect on his actions in prison!"

After Donghuang Taining's words were spoken, all the civil and military officials who belonged to his faction also agreed with him.

"I think it should be so!"

"I second the proposal!"

But the eldest prince standing in the center of the hall was unhappy at this moment.

He frowned and said in a gloomy voice: "I think you guys are really meddling too much!"

"It's just some untouchable remarks, why bother with them?"

But Donghuang Taining didn't even bother to look at him.

Emperor Zhou couldn't help but frown when he saw that Donghuang Taining and other ministers were unwilling to release the eldest prince.

Then, he turned his gaze once again to the group of ministers headed by Luo Wenshan.

Ministers like Luo Wenshan are truly loyal to him, so let Luo Wenshan and Donghuang Taining argue for a while.

At this moment, Luo Wenshan also walked out of the queue and respectfully saluted Emperor Zhou.

A smile appeared on Emperor Zhou's lips.

Fortunately, Luo Wenshan finally woke up and knew how to speak up for him.

But Luo Wenshan said shockingly: "Your Majesty, I request that the eldest prince be executed!"
