"Father …"

Yun Chengfeng knelt in front of the sickbed, tears streaming down his face. Looking at his father's frail body, his sunken cheeks, and his unconscious appearance on the sickbed, he cried sorrowfully. He wasn't faking it. He was extremely respectful to his father, but at the same time, he was also very filial.

"Is Father not going to get well?"

Yun Fei tried to persuade him, "Please take care of yourself, Your Highness. The Marquis is unconscious and injured, and he is relying on Your Highness to resolve this problem."

"You are quite right, father. Your son definitely won't disappoint you. Father, please rest in peace and quiet."

He stood up and retreated while crying, "Yunfei, I'll do as you say."

"As you command, Crown Prince."

Once again leaving the manor, Yun Chengfeng was quite low-key this time. He didn't even go through the manor's doors as he slipped out the side door. On the advice of Yun Fei, who was a trusted aide, he first went to a private room in the Mansion, where he drank wine and ate delicious food while listening to the discussions around him. If he wanted to know something, it was news and rumors in the capital. This was a good place.

Those who were able to come to the treasured pavilion to eat were either rich or noble. There were many high quality and rather secretive information that would spread around here.

Even though it was a private room, it wasn't very soundproof. What's more, the voices of the people in the private room beside them were very loud. Very quickly, Yun Chengfeng heard a lot of news. About the Eastern Palace, King Jingyuan, and the Hou Mansion …

After Yun Fei gave a bit of silver to the waiter, the waiter immediately beamed with joy. He happily chatted about the various rumors and secrets of the capital.

For example, the Crown Prince was severely injured and poisoned, so it was difficult for him to retain his position as the king of the kingdom. For example, the emperor had ordered the Eastern Palace to be sealed and searched. The ministers and officials had impeached the current crown prince and asked the emperor to set up a different monarch. For example, Yun Feiyan had been found guilty, his entire family thrown into the Sky Prison, and the Cloud Gale Lotus had disappeared …

Yun Chengfeng didn't know that this shop assistant had been secretly arranged by Yun Fei, but the information that was given to him didn't have much meaning.

Having rewarded the shop assistant once again, Yun Chengfeng asked in a low voice, "Yun Fei, what should we do now?"

Yun Fei looked around mysteriously. "Young master, we'll talk about this when we get back."

"You're right."

He immediately stood up and replied, "Return to the manor."

On the carriage, Yun Chengfeng lowered his voice and asked, "Is Zi Feng's medical skills really that good?" Impossible, right? She had never learned medicine before? "If she was bestowed by the heavens, then why would she go to the Jingyuan Mansion instead of helping her father with his diagnosis and treatment?"

"Your Highness, how could the Marquis have survived until now without the princess? It was only because the marquis needed to recuperate that the princess was able to offer a free diagnosis and pray for the marquis' benevolence and benevolence. Knowing that the princess was skilled in the art of medicine, Prince Jingyuan invited her to his mansion. "Your Highness, right now, none of these matters are important. The most important thing is that your son must have strong support in order to support the Hou Mansion, grasp the authority of the imperial guards, and become the true commander of the imperial guards!"

Hearing these words, Yun Chengfeng's eyes lit up, "Quickly tell me, what should we do?"

Yun Fei went over and whispered into Yun Chengfeng's ears, the heir nodding his head.

The eldest young master of the house of the Marquis was just like the original Yun Zihuang, not scheming at all. If he just didn't have any schemes, then it wouldn't matter either. As the first young master of the manor, he wouldn't lack wealth and honor in his entire life. The problem was that he was addicted to pleasure and didn't have the ability to learn. He was once the princess of Pingping, and he also had the advantage of a great talent in cultivation. Yun Chengfeng's strong point was that he was very generous, so he was always tricked by his friends and his purse was always empty.

Yun Chengfeng quickly paid his respects to one of the princes who had invited him yesterday and expressed his support for the prince.

What he did not know was that before this, the officials had divided into several camps, each with a prince at the back. In this sort of situation, without a doubt, any prince who could obtain the support of the Marquis' Mansion would have a much higher chance of winning.

Very quickly, the current representative of the crown prince had secretly found Yun Chengfeng and asked him to give his full support to the crown prince.

The relationship between Yun Chengfeng and the crown prince had always been relatively distant. The noble and arrogant crown prince had always looked down on this good-for-nothing son of the duke. In addition, the Crown Prince also did not like Yun Zihuang, so there had never been any interaction between the two of them. Because of the Crown Prince's attitude towards Yun Zihuang, Yun Chengfeng was very dissatisfied in his heart. However, his status was low, so he could only grumble in private.

Yun Chengfeng had expressed his goodwill to the crown prince. Only if one could obtain the military emblem of the imperial guards would one have the right to mobilize the imperial guards. If he was unable to obtain the military emblem, he would not be able to mobilize the royal guards. He would not have the ability to serve the crown prince.

The courtiers stood in a line, each supporting a different prince.

Some extremely secret information that was tightly sealed had quietly spread out from some hidden source. Of course, those who knew of this news were all important officials of the imperial government. This news was due to the Emperor's illness of the dragon's body, which was not light at all!

As for how severe the Emperor's illness was, there wasn't any detailed information.

However, this rumor shook the entire imperial court. The emperor was already very old and had not been as energetic as before. Now that the news of the emperor's illness had spread, as well as the court officials who had seen it in the past few days, the emperor's complexion really wasn't well. How could all these people not focus on the position of the crown prince?

Normally, most of the ministers would support the crown prince under normal circumstances. However, the current situation was obviously not favorable for his Highness the crown prince.

The East Palace was still sealed tight by the imperial guards. No one could enter, and no one could take a step out of the East Palace.

The court officials who were smarter than foxes would never be able to tell that the position of the crown prince was going to be replaced!

The court officials had already received the news that the new heir to the marquis' house was very close to a certain prince, while the royal guards had not participated in the battle at all. In this situation, the court officials were all analyzing: has the Yonglei Mansion and the imperial guards given up on the Crown Prince and decided to support the other prince?

While the court officials were plotting and speculating, the son of Marquis Yonglei, Yun Chengfeng, publicly announced his request to resign his position as the future Crown Prince's consort!

This news immediately caused Chao Ye to be extremely shocked. At the same time, it also meant that the Marquis' Mansion had completely broken off from the current Crown Prince!

"Bastard!"

"Puff …"

When the emperor saw the imperial report, a mouthful of blood rushed up his throat, and he immediately fainted!
