Chu Yixuan laughed and said: "Aren't we using him now? It's just that he has experts protecting him, so he won't be able to use poison this easily. "

"Then what do you think?"

"Why don't we save our lives first!"

Chu Yixuan said as he led Qi Yu down the stairs.

"Where to?" Qi Yu asked.

"I heard the pear blossoms at the city's god temple bloomed. It's so beautiful, let me show you."

"Didn't you say to read the edict?"

"Forget it, let's just take a look at the beautiful scenery. Let's put aside the troublesome matters to one side."

"This is good as well. Unfortunately, there is no camera in sight. "

"Phase... Machine? What is that thing? "

"Oh, yes... You wouldn't understand even if I told you. "

The happy figure was submerged in the warm spring light, Lu Ming blankly stared at the rare harmonious scene, his heart was filled with emotions, after going through so many twists and turns, finally able to hold hands and travel together, it was truly great!

"Hey, Your Highness, Princess, wait for me!" As if he had just awoken from a dream, Lu Ming reached out his hands to the two of them and chased after them. Warm Xiang carried a bottle of water and followed the Uncle Lin from afar. Upon seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Protector Lu, what's wrong? Where's the wangfei going? "

"Of course we're going to enjoy the flowers!" Lu Ming happily followed behind Chu Yixuan, his heart was filled with joy.

Chu Yixuan and Qi Yu held hands and admired the flower, the atmosphere was happy and warm, but the atmosphere in the Eastern Palace was not so good.

Feng Qingmo had been quietly meditating, neither eating nor drinking, ignoring everyone else. The servants in the Eastern Palace were all nervous as they looked at each other.

Chu Zhe hurried over and stopped right outside of the Eastern Palace. "Is the crown prince not willing to eat?"

A few of the palace maids waiting outside looked on with fear and trepidation. "Yes, Your Majesty. "The crown prince didn't eat anything and didn't pay attention to the servants. The servants were helpless and could only disturb His Majesty …"

Chu Zhe scolded him with a dark face: "What use do you have if you can't serve the crown prince?"

The servants hurriedly kneeled down. "This one is useless. This one deserves to die. Your Majesty, please forgive us …"

Chu Zhe stepped into the Eastern Palace with a gloomy face.

With such a loud noise, and with such a nervous sound, Feng Qingmo turned a deaf ear to it, he closed his eyes and remained seated, not moving at all.

Chu Zhe stood in front of him, and the servant beside him wanted to nervously remind Feng Qingmo to take a look, but Chu Zhe waved his hands and stopped him.

"Leave!" Chu Zhe said.

All the servants hurriedly bowed and left.

Chu Zhe slowly calmed his tone and called out: "Ha'er."

Feng Qingmo slowly opened his eyes and looked at Chu Zhe, but he remained silent and did not speak.

Chu Zhe sat down opposite of him and frowned: "Tomorrow is the conferred ceremony, could it be that you're still not willing to agree to be the crown prince?"

Feng Qingmo said coldly: "I already said, I am not the crown prince, so why would the emperor force me?"

"Royal Father knows that you don't want to snatch anything away from your two brothers. However, Xuan'er was weak, and her daughter was not sensible. How could they bear the heavy responsibility of taking care of the world? Furthermore, the position of Crown Prince should belong to you in the first place, it is something that the Royal Father owes you.

Feng Qingmo said coldly: "This commoner does not understand the rules, and is used to being free and unrestrained, unable to bear this heavy responsibility, I ask your majesty the Emperor to not make things difficult for us."

Chu Zhe frowned: "Things that have already been announced to the entire world, how can it be changed?"

Feng Qingmo said: "That is a matter of His Majesty the Emperor, it has nothing to do with this commoner."

Chu Zhe's face changed, he was somewhat angry, but in the end, he still sighed and said: "Could it be that you're still blaming Royal Father for the decision he made towards Crown’s Master?"

"…" Feng Qingmo remained silent.

"Could it be that you think that all kinds of provocation and reckless actions on the part of the Crown’s Master are necessary?"

"His Majesty the Emperor suddenly made a decision regarding the Crown’s Master. He must have noticed the actions of the Crown’s Master a long time ago, so why didn't he make it happen earlier or later but chose to do it at this critical juncture? Is it because His Majesty doesn't want to bear the blame for everyone's criticism, so he wants me to take the blame on His Majesty's behalf? Or is it that His Majesty wants to help me establish my might, or that he wants everyone to misunderstand me, isolate me, and leave me with no way out so that I can stay in the palace? "

Chu Zhe was silent for a moment, then asked: "Whose views do you care about? Are you two little brothers, or are you just being gentle? "

However, Feng Qingmo remained silent, as he did not want to directly answer Chu Zhe's question.

Chu Zhe said: "Are you worried that the treatment of the Crown’s Master will cause Rou Zhi to misunderstand you and create a barrier between her and you?"

Wouldn't it? What would Qi Yu think of him now, and what kind of person did she think of him?

However, Chu Zhe smiled and said: "Don't worry, your little sister is currently enjoying the sights of the City God's Temple with your little brother, I think that she does not take this to heart, Royal Father believes that she is a lady that knows what's wrong."

Qi Yu and Chu Yixuan were enjoying the flowers in the god temple?

Feng Qingmo was startled, he pursed his lips, and an unspeakable pain arose in his heart.

What happened to him?

Qi Yu and Chu Yixuan being on good terms was something he had been hoping for as well. But why was it that his heart didn't feel good about it?

Chu Zhe took the chance and said, "Prepare well for tomorrow's grand ceremony. Other than you, there might not be anyone else capable of stabilizing the situation and taking good care of your little brother and sister as well as your mother! Royal Father will definitely clean up the obstacles for you and let you properly take charge of the rivers and mountains in the Dongluo! "

After saying that, Chu Zhe changed to a serious tone and said: "Your Dongluo cannot be chaotic, and you brothers cannot continue to destroy each other! 'Ha, can you really watch your mother and siblings in danger for freedom's sake? '

"Are you threatening me?" Feng Qingmo asked coldly.

"No," Chu Zhe said. "Seven Treasures Division just found out, that Xu Chang has probably already defected to another country and is currently being held by Eastern Barbarian. This Eastern Barbarian's climate is cold, the land is poor, the harvest has never been good, and the common people have always suffered from the cold and hunger. He coveted my vast Dongluo and fertile land. He already had the intention to invade with troops, but didn't dare to fight a battle that he wasn't confident in. Now that Xu Chang has leaked the secrets of my Dongluo to him, I'm afraid that the Eastern Barbarian will send out their troops to attack me. At that time, the Royal Father will take charge of the army and lead them against the enemy. At that time, the Dongluo will need you to take charge of the general situation and calm the hearts of the people. Royal Father believes that you will definitely do better than Sanlang! "

Xu Chang had already betrayed the country? they might even bring foreign enemies back to attack Dongluo? Feng Qingmo was stunned!

"Crown’s Master... How dare you collude with outsiders to deal with your own people? "

"I had originally thought that he was only playing with small tricks to vent his anger and vengeance. Seeing that your mother and Rou Zhi were treating him with tolerance, the Royal Father didn't expose or make a fuss about it. However, he did not expect that he would become even more violent. Not only did he incite Prince Xin to harm his own brothers, he also instigated them between the crown prince and Prince Qi, causing them to become even more contradicting and killing each other. This person has betrayed the sincerity of the Royal Father to him, it is unbearable! " Chu Zhe slowly eased his tone, and said, "If it wasn't because I was worried that he would continue to harm you and your brother, maybe your mother would ask Royal Father to continue to be merciful to him.

"Then why does he hate you so much?" Feng Qingmo frowned.

After all, Cheng Wan was also Xu Chang's concubine, right? The fact that an emperor dared to snatch the concubine of a minister must be the root of all this, right?

Chu Zhe's face changed, sighed, and said: Some things are not as simple as it seems. If you want to blame someone, then blame Royal Father. "

With that, Chu Zhe turned and left.

Not long after, the steward and eunuch brought over the clothes that the crown prince was wearing, along with some delicious snacks. The steward said softly, "Crown Prince, His Majesty has instructed us that at least we should eat something. Only tomorrow at the grand ceremony, our complexions will be better."

Feng Qingmo looked at the scene in silence. After a long while, he slowly nodded his head.

The steward was somewhat surprised and could not believe his eyes. After that, he excitedly ordered some servants to arrange the snacks, and then ordered the imperial kitchens to prepare some delicate dishes for the Eastern Palace. Only then did he excitedly return to the King's Couch to report his orders.

At night, Jun Zibi finally broke into the Eastern Palace at the risk of his life. Even though it was heavily guarded, as long as he entered the Eastern Palace and found out that he was here to pay a visit, Feng Qingmo should at least meet him once, right?

Of course, if he were kept out of the East Palace, it would be a different matter.

After being discovered by the patrolling Forbidden Army, Jun Zibi successfully entered into the Eastern Palace's territory. Being surrounded by the Forbidden Army, he showed no fear, and shouted loudly: "Feng Qingmo, you're already the crown prince, and I can't see you anymore, right? Old friend, you don't even entertain me when you come? "

Forbidden Army said in a stern voice: "How dare you call out the crown prince's name directly, are you tired of living?!"

"Yo!" Jun Zibi laughed, "The crown prince is too arrogant, he doesn't even allow people to call him by name! Speaking of which, isn't your crown prince called Chu Yihan? "

The Forbidden Army were stunned, speechless. Just then, Feng Qingmo pushed the crowd aside and walked out, his clothes fluttering in the wind as he stood in front of Jun Zibi.

Jun Zibi raised his eyebrow, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Oh, the crown prince has finally appeared!"

Feng Qingmo ignored him, and said to the Forbidden Army beside him: "You may leave, this is my friend."

The Forbidden Army s coveted each other, but they did not move.

After all, His Majesty had told them not to allow anyone to come into contact with the new crown prince.

Feng Qingmo furrowed his brows, and said in a cold voice: "Why, aren't I the crown prince? How dare you disobey the orders of the crown prince? "

All the Forbidden Army s immediately clasped their hands in respect, "This subordinate does not dare!"

"If you don't dare, then get out of my way!" Feng Qingmo's expression became imposing.

All the Forbidden Army s were shocked!

What should he do?

The Emperor didn't want the Crown Prince to see anyone. If the Crown Prince wanted to meet them, they were both people who could rule their lives. Who could they afford to offend?

Fortunately, the steward came to relieve them, and waved his hands when he saw the situation. "My friend the Crown Prince has come, how can you be slow? If the Crown Prince asks you to leave, then quickly leave!"

The Forbidden Army were all a little surprised, but the steward was the most trustworthy person to the Emperor besides the Manager Qing. The reason he dared to give such an order on behalf of the Emperor was probably because the Emperor had already let down his guard against the Crown Prince.

With that, the Forbidden Army s bowed to Feng Qingmo and said, "This subordinate does not dare disobey the crown prince's orders, and will take his leave."

After Forbidden Army sensibly withdrew, the steward stepped forward with a smile on his face and bowed: "Under Your Majesty's orders, this old servant is here to accompany the crown prince to his bed."

Feng Qingmo said: "My friend is here, let's sit down for a while, I'll go take a rest later."

"Alright!" The steward said wisely, "Then this old servant will take his leave. Crown Prince, please don't be too tired."

Since he was so tactful, Feng Qingmo could not treat his coldly. He nodded slightly. "Got it."

Before the steward left, he even bowed to Jun Zibi. Jun Zibi looked at the old and weak back, turned his head and gave Feng Qingmo a thumbs up, "You have learnt to put on the airs of a crown prince, you are still not bad at all!"

Feng Qingmo snorted. Actually, he did not want to put on any airs, okay?

"If I hadn't come out to save you, perhaps you would have died under the arrows of the Forbidden Army. — Tell me, why did you risk your life to enter the palace?"
