C107 Suspicion

Although he was not too happy about Xuanyuan Zhan breaking the ancient town's case, Xuanyuan Zhan had indeed found a useful clue, but the emperor's heart had actually collapsed. He had originally thought that if Xuanyuan Zhan did not resolve the case successfully, or if he did not resolve the case in time, then he could intimidate Xuanyuan Zhan a little and show his might to the crown prince, who knew that would actually be able to solve the case within the stipulated time. It seemed that he had underestimated his son's ability.

Although the emperor was not very satisfied with Xuanyuan Zhan, but in front of all the officials of the civil and military forces, he could not make things too difficult for him.

If this matter was really caused by the Northern Qin survivors, he would still need to rely on Xuanyuan Zhan to settle this matter.

"The Battle King has done a great job in solving this case. He should be rewarded." Xuanyuan Mo said.

"Your son is responsible for helping royal father. I do not dare to ask for a reward." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

Although Xuanyuan Mo did not say it, but he thought it through in his heart, he still understood the situation, but since it was in front of the officials, he still had to eliminate the remnants of Xuanyuan Zhan's evil. Therefore, he said to Xuanyuan Zhan: "You have completed the mission that we handed to you on time. This is the reward that you deserve, you do not have to decline."

"Yes, this son thanks royal father."

"Alright, since you found out about the remnants of the Northern Qin evil, then I'll leave this matter for you to handle. You must find out where they are. The remnants of the Northern Qin evil cannot be avoided." Xuanyuan Mo said.

"Yes, this son obeys the decree."

"Imperial Father, Third Brother has just returned to the capital. He should be allowed to rest more. Why don't you leave it to me to do this?" The Crown Prince spoke.

The Crown Prince thought that Xuanyuan Zhan had already made a lot of contributions, and if this continued, his royal father would definitely hold him in high esteem. He thought that he should do more to please his father, which was why Xuanyuan Qingtian thought that this was a good opportunity, and spoke up.

Hearing that the crown prince took the initiative to ask for his protection, Xuanyuan Mo frowned. He thought that the crown prince was really stupid, he could not tell that he was doing this to protect him? He couldn't help but sigh that the Crown Prince was too stupid.

"Since this matter was investigated by the Battle King, then it should be the responsibility of the Battle King. You don't need to participate." Xuanyuan Mo said, "Crown Prince, we have an even more important mission for you."

The crown prince still wanted to say something, but hearing Xuanyuan Mo's words, he could only give up, "Yes."

After that, Xuanyuan Mo gave some matters to Xuanyuan Zhan to pass on to him as a reward before he left the throne.

When Xuanyuan Zhan came out of the hall, he coincidentally bumped into Xuanyuan Qingtian who came out with him. Xuanyuan Qingtian intentionally blocked in front of Xuanyuan Zhan, and sneered, "I heard that your phoenix feather was injured, why didn't you care about her, and still came back yourself. It seems that your Xuanyuan Zhan is only so-so, in front of the power and the beloved woman, you still chose the former. Humph! "It seems like you are just a hypocrite. You can disregard the life of the woman you love in order to gain power."

Xuanyuan Zhan raised his head, looked at Xuanyuan Qingtian, and ignored him, turning to leave. When Xuanyuan Qingtian saw that Xuanyuan Zhan actually did not place him in his eyes at all, he became so angry that he almost went crazy.

Xuanyuan Qingtian went to Yan Fei's chambers, and when Yan Fei saw the ugly expression on his son's face, he asked.

"Tian Er, why is your face so ugly? Did something happen in the imperial court? "

"Humph!" The crown prince coldly snorted, "It's not only royal father, he even sent Xuanyuan Zhan to investigate the matters of the ancient town, and now he even sent Xuanyuan Zhan to investigate the matters of the remnants of the previous Qin Dynasty. royal father is so biased, and gave such an important matter to Xuanyuan Zhan to do. I originally wanted to ask royal father to volunteer and investigate, but was actually rejected by him. "

After Yan Fei heard this, he immediately understood why his son was so unhappy.

"Tian Er, why would your royal father allow Xuanyuan Zhan to go forward and perform meritorious deeds?" "You still don't understand, your royal father is protecting you."

"To only reward Xuanyuan Zhan with meritorious service, could it be that this is still to protect me?" Xuanyuan Qingtian said angrily, his heart was filled with unwillingness.

"Silly child, investigating the remnants of the Northern Qin is inevitably filled with danger. Your royal father doesn't allow you to go is for your own good.

Xuanyuan Qingtian carefully thought about what his matriarch had said, it was indeed reasonable. The matter of the Northern Qin being a remnant was extremely dangerous, there was no guarantee that one day, he would be injured by them. It was better to let Xuanyuan Zhan have a safer time, so no matter what happened, the blame would always be placed on Xuanyuan Zhan.

Thinking about it this way, Xuanyuan Zhan felt a lot more at ease.

With this, the matter of the ancient town came to an end.

Early in the morning on the second day, Xuanyuan Qingtian brought his men to Battle King Manor and saw the Battle King preparing to leave.

"Aiyo, I just got back and I'm already busy." Xuanyuan Qingtian sarcastically said, "It seems like Feng Yu, that woman, isn't really that important to you either. You actually gave her up just for your rights, even this crown prince felt disgusted for you."

"Your Highness, I still have something to take care of. I hope you won't make things difficult for me."

How could I dare to make things difficult for you? You have just made a meritorious deed, so I am only here to urge you, do not forget the investigation on the remnants of the Northern Qin Empire that my royal father handed to you. As long as the remnants of the Northern Qin are missing, my royal father will not be able to rest at ease for a day, so I hope that third brother will take this matter to heart and quickly send people to investigate.

"Don't worry crown prince, this king will. I won't trouble your highness anymore."

With that, Xuanyuan Zhan led the group away, completely disregarding the crown prince who was left behind.

Hmph, one day, I will let you know just how powerful I am. Xuanyuan Qingtian thought.

In the Crown Prince's Palace, ever since Xuanyuan Qingtian had returned from the Battle King Manor, he had always felt that there was something wrong with Xuanyuan Zhan.

In the past, if he were to take out Feng Yu and talk about things like that, he would have couldn't help but teach her a lesson. But this time, it seemed that ever since Xuanyuan Zhan came back from the ancient town, he had become extremely strange and calm. This was too strange. Xuanyuan Qingtian felt that it was very puzzling, but he did not know where the problem came from.

In the small bamboo forest, when Xuanyuan Feng saw that Dou Dou was playing happily, he couldn't help but feel good about it.

Ever since he received Third Brother's message and learned that Third Sister-in-Law had been poisoned, Xuanyuan Feng followed Third Brother's instructions and took Dou Dou to live in the Bamboo Lodge for two days.

Xuanyuan Feng had heard from the servant that Third Brother had returned, but Third Brother did not send anyone to bring them back to Battle King Manor. Xuanyuan Feng felt that there might be something important that forced them to stay here for a few days. So he stayed with Dou Dou.

A few days later, a spy from the crown prince's residence reported that Xuanyuan Zhan had left the city.

The crown prince was suspicious. Xuanyuan Zhan had left the city, was there something wrong? Or was he going out to meet someone?

Xuanyuan Qingtian felt uneasy and decided to dress up and follow them out of the city.

Outside the city, Xuanyuan Zhan stood alone with his hands behind his back, as if he was waiting for someone. The crown prince hid far behind and peeked at Xuanyuan Zhan. He found out that he seemed to be waiting for someone.

Not long after, a carriage drove towards Xuanyuan Zhan's direction from afar. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the person who came out was a woman, which Xuanyuan Qingtian saw at first glance was actually a phoenix feather.

The moment Xuanyuan Qingtian saw Feng Yu obtaining it, his heart was filled with shock. How could this be? Xuanyuan Zhan, you obviously went back to the capital to report this. Like this, according to the Yanzhou's perverted mentality, it was impossible for Feng Yu to obtain the antidote. What was going on?

Just as Xuanyuan Qingtian was standing at the side with his head full of questions, Feng Yu was prepared to dismount and see what was so happy about Xuanyuan Qingtian. When Feng Yu thought about how Xuanyuan Qingtian was going against Feng Yu at every turn, he felt extremely displeased.

"Isn't this His Highness the crown prince? My daughter greets His Highness the Crown Prince. I was really rude to her, so I didn't know that his Highness would also come to welcome me. " Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan had long since discovered Xuanyuan Qingtian. The reason why Xuanyuan Qingtian came today was to see what exactly Xuanyuan Zhan was playing at, but how did Xuanyuan Qingtian know that there was someone who had disguised himself to look like Xuanyuan Zhan?

Xuanyuan Qingtian didn't pay attention to Feng Yu, but instead looked at Feng Yu who had just alighted from the carriage, and was actually puzzled by what was going on. Just why was it that Xuanyuan Qingtian had personally watched Xuanyuan Zhan return to the capital to report this matter to them?

Xuanyuan Qingtian didn't know how Xuanyuan Zhan did it, but Xuanyuan Qingtian felt that there was something fishy about this matter, it couldn't be as simple as what he had seen recently.

The crown prince walked to stand in front of Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu, "This crown prince is relieved to see you two return safely. I was wondering why Third Brother didn't see Feng Yu when she returned. On the surface, it seemed like Xuanyuan Qingtian had found a way to resolve this awkward situation, but he had actually found out the ins and outs of this matter.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Your Highness came back first, so where did you want to play for a few days? So I came back late." Feng Yu obviously knew what Xuanyuan Qingtian was thinking, so how could Feng Yu tell Xuanyuan Qingtian about it? Feng Yu randomly found an excuse to lie to Xuanyuan Qingtian, and said with a face full of smiles.

When Xuanyuan Qingtian saw Feng Yu's smiling face looking at him, Xuanyuan Qingtian felt that Feng Yu did not plan to tell him the truth. Xuanyuan Qingtian felt that his choice of staying here was unnecessary, so he flicked his sleeves and left.

After returning to the manor, Xuanyuan Qingtian called his trusted aide over to the study room.

"What's going on? Why did that woman Feng Yu return unharmed?"

"Hearing the crown prince say this, that trusted aide felt that it was too inconceivable." Your subordinate will send someone to inquire from the people within the manor. "Don't worry, your majesty."

"Hurry up and go!" "Xuanyuan Qingtian was enraged, in one breath, he swept the things on the ground and smashed them down. "Useless thing, is the person who was arranged to be staying at the house of the Marquis a trash? Why hasn't there been any movement even today after such a huge incident?"

Seeing that his master was so angry, he quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes. This subordinate will immediately send people to inquire as soon as possible."

That night, someone from the manor reported, "Your Highness, arrangements have been made for people from the Residence of Marquis to send a message."

"Quick, bring it over."

"Yes."

When Xuanyuan Qingtian opened the letter, he saw that Xuanyuan Zhan had indeed accompanied Feng Yu to the Marquis Mansion to request medicine, and had indeed requested for Fire Spirit Zoysia.

But at that time, there were only less than seven days remaining before he could return to the capital to report back. Xuanyuan Zhan had indeed returned within the set time period. How is that possible? " Xuanyuan Qingtian was furious.

"Prince, what do you mean by this?" The trusted aide asked, feeling that something was wrong with his master's thoughts.

"Look." Xuanyuan Qingtian threw the letter in his hand over after he finished speaking.

That subordinate quickly received it. When he saw the contents of the letter, he also felt that it was very strange. "That's impossible."
