C188 Counterattack (1)

"But Imperial Father, although this son hasn't said it, I still want to ask why Imperial Father has restricted this son to his residence. Could it be that it's because of the cartoon in the capital a few days ago?" Xuanyuan Zhan said, "If you truly wish to invite royal father to investigate this matter, this son has always been at home, why would he make such a humiliating joke about my Imperial Family?"

"Xuanyuan Zhan, it's done. There's no need to defend yourself here. " Xuanyuan Qingtian could not hold it in and roared.

"How dare you!" Xuanyuan Mo glared at him, "Crown Prince, did we allow you to speak?"

Xuanyuan Qingtian did not make a sound.

"Since you, Battle-King, say that you did not, then I will definitely investigate this matter clearly." Xuanyuan Mo said, "How about this, you should stay at home properly for the next few days. Once this matter is thoroughly investigated, we will naturally return you justice."

"Since royal father has said so, this son is relieved." Xuanyuan Zhan said as he looked up at Xuanyuan Qingtian.

Xuanyuan Qingtian noticed the gaze from Xuanyuan Zhan, and raised his chin proudly. Humph! Even if you bite me back, in royal father's heart, you will always believe in me, the crown prince.

"Alright. You can go back first. " Xuanyuan Mo waved at Xuanyuan Zhan, upset.

"Yes." "This son of mine will take his leave." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

Waiting until after Xuanyuan Zhan left. Xuanyuan Mo's fury had truly erupted.

"Crown Prince, why don't you explain this to me?" Xuanyuan Mo asked.

"Please calm your anger royal father." Xuanyuan Qingtian kneeled down, "This son also believes in this lowly person's slanderous words, but this son truly does not know. Please calm your anger royal father. " Xuanyuan Qingtian was not an idiot. He knew that in this situation, if he continued to speak bad about Xuanyuan Zhan, he would definitely become Xuanyuan Zhan's target. It would undoubtedly make the situation worse, and would only make royal father dislike him even more. He might as well admit his mistake.

"Alright, get up." Xuanyuan Mo glanced at his son who was kneeling on the ground and said. "You should go back as well."

"Yes, your son shall take his leave."

Xuanyuan Qingtian withdrew. Looking at Xuanyuan Qingtian's leaving figure, Xuanyuan Mo's heart couldn't help but sink.

He knew exactly what kind of trash his son was. In the past, he had only turned a blind eye. After all, Xuanyuan Qingtian was the crown prince whom he had supported single-handedly, and was the future emperor. But he never thought that he would actually be so stupid, to actually want to blatantly frame Xuanyuan Zhan.

It had to be said that this third son of his had the ability to rule the world, but unfortunately …

In the Battle King Manor.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhan had returned safely, Feng Yu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Although she did not say anything, she was still a little worried, afraid that the emperor would intentionally make things difficult for him.

"The emperor summoned you into the palace early in the morning. Did Xuanyuan Qingtian say something in front of the emperor again? Feng Yu asked.

"Don't worry." Xuanyuan Zhan consoled her, "It won't be that easy to make things difficult for me."

Xuanyuan Zhan told everything that happened in the palace to Feng Yu.

Feng Yu said indignantly, "How can this be? This emperor is biased." Based on what, why did they even imprison Xuanyuan Zhan in his residence?!

However, Xuanyuan Zhan did not mind, "Alright, I don't care what they do to me. "I thought that we were all brothers, but it looks like it's time to give Xuanyuan Qingtian a bit of a retaliation." Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes revealed a ruthless look.

"I've given him so many opportunities, but he doesn't know how to cherish them. Since that's the case, I don't need to care about brotherly feelings anymore." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

Even though hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words made his feel heartless, he actually wanted to scheme against her own brother. However, Feng Yu understood that this was the emperor's estate. In the emperor's residence, there were some matters that could not be handled by oneself. This was the ruthlessness of the monarch's house. Brothers are maimed, and flesh and blood are maimed everywhere. If you don't harm others, others will do everything they can to come and harm you. Killing someone was just to protect yourself. Thinking about this, Feng Yu couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Zhan with a pained expression.

Although this man had a carefree look on his face, he was actually quite upset about it.

"But after all, the Crown Prince's influence is still great. He has been doing this for so many years. There are many forces within the imperial court that would not be able to take him down easily if they wanted to do so themselves. " Feng Yu said with a hint of worry.

"Yes, the crown prince's power cannot be underestimated. Moreover, the emperor's most trusted Yan Clan is also his backing." Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Feng Yu and said with a smile. Since he planned to counterattack, he didn't plan to make Feng Yu worry for him.

"Do you know the main reason why the Crown Prince has his forces today? Who is the most important person to help him?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked.

"Of course it's Yan Feifei's clan, the Yan Clan." Feng Yu said.

"Right." Xuanyuan Zhan only laughed without saying a word.

"You're saying …" Feng Yu said with his eyes wide open.

"You guessed right." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

That's right! Why hadn't he thought that Xuanyuan Qingtian's greatest help would be the Yan Clan, and the reason why the Emperor valued the Yan Clan was only because of his pampered trust towards the Yan Fei.

After thinking through all of this, Feng Yu also felt relieved. So he knew.

"Sigh!" Men! The most intolerable thing was that his woman had brought him a green hat. Even if he did not like that woman, he would not allow it. It's all in the novel. You men are really too domineering. " Feng Yu sighed and said. Her bright eyes blinked at Xuanyuan Zhan. Meaning, you know.

Xuanyuan Zhan naturally understood, and stayed with Feng Yu for a long time. There were some small details that were developed through mutual understanding.

On the other side.

In the Crown Prince's Palace.

After Xuanyuan Qingtian returned to his residence, he flew into a rage.

"Bastard, do you know that you have returned to the capital with the lost Battle-King?" Xuanyuan Qingtian said to his personal bodyguard.

Hearing Xuanyuan Qingtian's words, the guard could not help but be taken aback. This subordinate knows his wrongs. "

"Hmph, if you do it again, you can just scram." Xuanyuan Qingtian shouted coldly.

"Yes!" This subordinate will definitely not commit another offense. "

"Scram!" The more Xuanyuan Qingtian looked at the guard, the more frustrated he felt.

He saw that person slightly lean backwards before silently standing up and walking away. Only, at that time, Xuanyuan Qingtian did not notice the change in the guard's expression.

Since he had decided to counterattack, he would kill himself with a single blow. Xuanyuan Zhan thought. Thinking about the matter Feng Yu mentioned yesterday, Xuanyuan Zhan felt that it was feasible.

Since you can frame others time and time again, why can't I frame you? You can't blame me for that. Xuanyuan Zhan thought.

Furthermore, the Hongfei Pavilion and Nangong Chen also had a lot of evidence on the disgraceful things that the crown prince had done to the Yan family. This was a good opportunity.

On this day, Xuanyuan Zhan found a chance to enter the palace. On the surface, it was to see the Ning Fei, but in reality, it was to find Xuanyuan Jing after seeing the matriarch.

Although Xuanyuan Mo had once asked him to think about it at home, he did not want to leave any evidence behind the previous incident, so even though he said that, his punishment of Xuanyuan Zhan wasn't that strict. With Xuanyuan Zhan being allowed to go out of the Battle King Manor, why would he be able to enter the palace like the Ning Fei to pay respects and see his own matriarch?

Therefore, Xuanyuan Zhan took this opportunity to go to Xuanyuan Jing's palace.

"Third Brother!?" Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Xuanyuan Zhan coming over to find him. After all, third brother was on the cusp of a storm right now, so it was rather unexpected for him to suddenly come and find him.

"Jing Er."

"Third brother, why have you come to my palace today?" With that, he gave a meaningful glance to the palace maid beside him. The palace maid tacitly understood his meaning and left the room, closing the door and leaving time for the two siblings to speak.

"Jing Er, Third Brother came to find you this time because he has something he wants you to help him with."

"Third brother, don't joke around. No matter what it is, little sister will help third brother." Xuanyuan Jing said.

Hearing Xuanyuan Jing's words, Xuanyuan Zhan naturally relaxed her heart, bent down, and told the whole story of what had happened by Xuanyuan Jing's ear.

Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words, Xuanyuan Jing could not help but look at Xuanyuan Zhan in shock.

"Third brother." "Are you sure?"

"Of course, if you don't want to help third brother, third brother won't force you. I just don't want you to tell anyone." Xuanyuan Zhan said. In fact, he was still quite at ease with Xuanyuan Jing. Even if she wasn't willing to help him, she wouldn't have told others what he had said to her today. He had confidence in himself.

"Why would third brother think that? As a sister, of course I would help you." Xuanyuan Jing said.

He could not help but feel happy for Xuanyuan Zhan. He had actually wholeheartedly helped third brother, but third brother had never seemed to take this matter to heart in the past. He had hinted at it many times, but third brother had never seemed to care about it.

Even though you are kind and won't hurt others, it doesn't mean that others won't hurt you. He would always feel sorry for the third brother when he saw the crown prince take action against him. Third Brother had been bullied by the Crown Prince since he was young, so he was not taken seriously. It hadn't been easy for him to reach this day. He had lost his power today, but he had instead become a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, in the eyes of others.

Now, regardless of whether the third brother changed his mind due to the atmosphere, he wanted to fight back and didn't want to be bullied anymore. He was still very happy in his heart.

"As for what you should do, it's up to you." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

"Don't worry, third brother."

This place was after all, inside the Imperial Palace, and if he stayed long enough, it would attract suspicions from others, so Xuanyuan Zhan decided not to stay for long and left.

Actually, if Xuanyuan Jing were to handle this matter honestly, she would be at ease as well. Although Jing Er was usually quiet and gentle, she was still very obedient. But Jing'er was meticulous and clever. Naturally, she would be most at ease if he let her handle this matter.
