The members of the Royal family and relatives began to discuss among themselves. Some disapproved of Mu Sihan continuing to be the Crown Prince, while some supported him.
One of the relatives said, “I don’t know much about mental illness. I only know that since the Crown Prince took office, he has contributed greatly to the economic and military development of the country. He is a rare talent.”
But a voice of objection jumped out immediately. “I don’t agree with Elder Al. The Crown Prince has not yet become King so of course he has to deliver some achievements. I believe you have also seen the videos, he will hit people when his condition acts up, who will dare to work with him in the future? If anyone raises any objections, wouldn’t he hit them until they surrender?”
“Besides, the most powerful and capable descendant of the Royal family, the Third Prince, is back now. His ability was always above the Crown Prince at that time, so I suggest that the Fourth Prince be abdicated and let the Third Prince be the Crown Prince!”
“The Third Prince has only just returned to the Royal family. Whether his abilities are the same as before remains to be confirmed. But the Crown Prince is different. His abilities are the real deal…”
“So what if he has some abilities? The Crown Prince has too much negative news. Moreover, he has lost the people’s support. The people will not want a mental illness patient to become our leader!”
“Yes, not only will the people not want it, our Royal family will not allow it!”
Just then, the door to the conference room was pushed open.
A tall man with a cold expression walked in. He did not say anything, only sweeping his eyes around and the heated discussion in the conference room stopped immediately.
Mu Sihan strode in calmly.
Seeing his seat being occupied by Ye Qing, he did not go to another seat, but stood beside Ye Qing.
A trace of resentment flashed past Ye Qing’s eyes. He got up from his chair, wanting to give the seat to Mu Sihan, but the Queen, who had not said anything in the discussions, said, “The Third Prince will sit here.”
The Queen’s words were obviously biased towards Ye Qing.
Mu Sihan still stood there unmovingly.
It was not appropriate for Ye Qing to sit there, so he did not want to make people think that he was bullying his brother as soon as he came back.
“Well, now that the Crown Prince is here, the meeting will begin,” the Queen said solemnly, “Now everyone can voice their opinions.”
The Queen had just finished speaking when Ye Qing said, “Before everyone starts, I have something to show all of you.”
Ye Qing inserted a thumbdrive into the computer and the projector screen immediately showed some medical records.
It was all information about Mu Sihan’s illness.
“From what I know, the Crown Prince’s illness includes bipolar disorder, split personality…”
Seeing the contents of the medical records, there was an uproar in the conference room. No one would be willing to put his illness out in the open, letting everyone view it.
It felt like being stripped of clothes and being paraded around to be laughed at and mocked by people.
Mu Sihan’s face turned tense and the vein on his forehead throbbed.
Ye Fengjun frowned when he saw the information on the projector screen, and could not help but feel a little frightened.
How could these things have fallen into Ye Qing’s hands if the people closest to Sihan had not betrayed him?
After more than an hour of heated discussion, the Queen finally decided. “It will cause the trust of the people to be unstable if there is a frequent change in the position of the Crown Prince. But the current condition of the Crown Prince is not suitable to continue working for the time being. My suggestion is that the Crown Prince cure his illness first and let Ye Qing be the substitute Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince does not cure his illness within three months, Ye Qing will officially be the Crown Prince!”
“I agree.”
“I agree too.”
In the big conference room, other than Ye Fengjun’s disapproval and Ye Yanfeng abstaining from voting, most people agreed to the suggestion.
Mu Sihan stood there, his expression cold, his lips pursed, making people shudder. Looking over at Mu Sihan, Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and laughed coldly in his heart.
Who would have thought he had pulled Mu Sihan out of office so easily when he had just returned to the Royal family?
He still thought he was capable!
Getting cured of his illness within three months? Don’t be delusional!
Now that he had become the substitute Crown Prince, he had the ability to sit in this seat so that Mu Sihan could never rise again!
…
Mu Sihan returned to the Crown Prince’s office.
He looked at the low-key, yet luxurious office. Everything in it was arranged in accordance with his preferences.
Mu Sihan was not used to putting his personal belongings in his office, so he did not have many things to pack. There were only two frames on his table. One was a picture of Nan Zhi, the other was a picture of him, Nan Zhi and Xiaojie.
Mu Sihan found a cardboard box and put the pictures, teacups and several notebooks in. As he was packing up, there was the sound of footsteps at the door.
Ye Qing and Madam Ye pushed open the door.
“Sihan, don’t blame me. You’re unwell and I did this to share your workload and relieve the pressure on you. Treat your illness properly and come back once you’ve recovered. When you return, I’ll give everything back to you.”
Madam Ye, who was beside Ye Qing, burst out unhappily, “Ah Qing, what are saying? What ‘give everything back to you’? It was all yours from the start.”
Mu Sihan looked at Madam Ye and there was a menacing look in his eyes. It was a waste of breath to even say one more word to them so Mu Sihan left with the box in his arms.
When he was at the door, Ye Qing said, “Oh yes, don’t make it difficult for Yi Fan when you go back. After all, he’ll be with me in the future.”
Mu Sihan’s arms that were holding on to the box could not help tightening its grip.
His tall body paused slightly, but soon went forward.
The secretaries in the secretarial office saw Mu Sihan coming out with a box.
Everyone stood up.
“Your Highness, we’ll wait for you to come back!”
“We believe you will cure your illness!”
Mu Sihan nodded at them and strode away with the box in his arms.
After Mu Sihan entered the elevator, the secretaries whispered among themselves, “I heard that this happened to His Highness because Butler Yi betrayed him!”
Yi Fan was not only Mu Sihan’s butler, he was also his assistant in all of his work affairs.
Knowing his many secrets, he was Mu Sihan most trusted person. Whether he was down and out or brilliant, he had once followed him wholeheartedly.
Why did he betray him?
The secretaries did not quite believe that Yi Fan would be this kind of person.
“Don’t you understand yet? Butler Yi may have been treated badly by the Crown Prince for a long time and now that the Third Prince is back, he suited his actions to the time and chose to follow a more promising person.”
“I really don’t know what Butler Yi is thinking. Betraying his master for power, who would dare to work with him in the future? He might be kicked away by the Third Prince when he’s finished with him!”
“Shh, keep your voice down. If the Third Prince hears you, don’t think about being able to work here again.”
