Within the Eastern Palace.
In the Crown Prince's Palace.
Although Xuanyuan Mo wanted to hide it, Xuanyuan Qingtian had his own spies in the palace, so Xuanyuan Qingtian knew about it.
How could the matriarch do such a thing? Xuanyuan Qingtian secretly thought. How could he do such a thing? Did matriarch not know that her actions would affect his position as the crown prince?
These two days, when Xuanyuan Qingtian found out about this matter, he was always filled with fear and his heart was filled with anxiety. They were afraid that Xuanyuan Mo would vent his anger on them because of the matter with the matriarch. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep his position as the crown prince.
Yan Fei was restricted to the palace, and couldn't go anywhere easily. In his heart, he was still worried about Xuanyuan Qingtian. Naturally, he would think of ways to pass the news outside the palace.
At the same time, there were constant rumors of Crown Prince Xuanyuan Qingtian allowing his subordinates to commit crimes. The Crown Prince himself was full of lustful rumors. At that moment, he seemed to have mentioned the matter from the comics book.
After hearing about Xuanyuan Zhan and a few other people from the Hongfei Pavilion deliberately added fuel to the fire, the rumor quickly spread not only to the capital, but also to some of the towns outside the capital.
Xuanyuan Mo didn't say it, but he understood in his heart that his own son didn't have any other abilities, but if one were to say that he had done these things before, he would still believe it.
Adding on the things that were written in the comics, even if others didn't say anything, Xuanyuan Mo understood in his heart. Some of them weren't fake, and he himself also knew a little about it.
In an instant, rumors flew all over, it was all aimed at Xuanyuan Qingtian. Although Xuanyuan Qingtian had not made any movements in the past two days, his heart was still somewhat uneasy. After all, those words were only aimed at him. Then it would only harm him a hundred times, without any benefit at all.
Without the Yan Fei's advice, Xuanyuan Qingtian was at a loss of what to do. It was also because of the series of events that happened recently in the palace as well as the rumors that spread around the capital. Xuanyuan Zhan decided to make a trip to the palace.
In the palace.
Within the imperial study.
"This son greets royal father." Xuanyuan Qingtian bowed.
"Get up." Xuanyuan Mo said without raising his head, he was still sitting on the matter in his hands.
Xuanyuan Qingtian secretly observed Xuanyuan Mo's expression, and discovered that there was nothing wrong with it. Furthermore, in the past few days, because of the matter of the matriarch, and some rumors in the capital, royal father seemed to have intentionally distanced himself from him. Could it be that even royal father felt that Xuanyuan Zhan was more suitable for being emperor than him?
Xuanyuan Qingtian was so angry that his teeth itched, and he was afraid that his royal father would have some grudges against him because of this.
"Royal father, the rumors in the capital were all spread by some people who deliberately injured this son of theirs. Those are all fake things, I have never done them before, I hope royal father can look into them. " Xuanyuan Qingtian said. He wanted to clarify for himself.
"Alright, did I say anything about you?" Xuanyuan Mo did not want to continue listening to Xuanyuan Qingtian, and said: "If I did not believe you, I would have already sent someone to ask you at the palace, what need was there for you to come by yourself?"
"But royal father. This son of mine has really never done anything that was false. This son has never acted rashly, nor have I allowed my subordinates to act wildly, so I hope that royal father can investigate this clearly. " Xuanyuan Qingtian grabbed onto one point and refused to let go. Deeply afraid that Xuanyuan Mo would continue to misunderstand her.
Unbeknownst to him, when he hurriedly tried to defend himself, he instead appeared to be feeling guilty and impatient.
"Alright, don't forget your identity as the crown prince." Xuanyuan Mo revealed a serious impatience.
"But royal father …"
"You are the Crown Prince." Xuanyuan Mo said sincerely, "Our position will sooner or later be yours, there is no need for you to be impatient. Since I have already said so, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. You just need to properly do your Crown Prince's work, and not do those useless things. "
"This son understands."
Who said that Xuanyuan Mo did not scold Xuanyuan Qingtian, but Xuanyuan Qingtian was still able to hear something from Xuanyuan Mo's words. Royal father said that this seat would sooner or later be his, does royal father think that he cannot wait to sit on that seat?
Xuanyuan Qingtian was not very frightened in his heart, how could this be? Xuanyuan Zhan! Xuanyuan Qingtian said fiercely in his heart. It's all because of you, and it's also because of your royal father that he was wary of me, so he was wary of me! I won't let you off.
"Please calm your anger royal father." Xuanyuan Qingtian said with fear and trepidation. This son definitely does not have any ill intentions, royal father, I hope that you can look into it. "
"Alright, I'm not sure if you have any ulterior motives. I just hope that you understand that royal father has promised you that you will get the crown prince position, so you don't have to worry. " Although Xuanyuan Mo said that with some hope, he could not help but feel a lot of unhappiness in his heart.
"Alright, you can go back now." Xuanyuan Mo said.
"Yes, your son shall take his leave." Xuanyuan Qingtian left the palace, but the hatred in his heart for Xuanyuan Zhan grew.
In the Crown Prince's Palace.
After Xuanyuan Qingtian returned to his residence, he was enraged. In Feng Jiaojiao's eyes, he was indeed smart enough to not say anything, and quietly withdrew himself. Only when Xuanyuan Qingtian's anger somewhat receded did he come over.
"Your Highness." 's coquettish voice came out. Has the palace encountered any unpleasantness today? " Feng Jiaojiao said.
"Your Highness, why don't you tell me. I can help Your Highness with his plans, or if not, I can get Father to help you." Feng Jiaojiao obviously knew that her own Xuanyuan Qingtian might not have any reactions, but he had a father that was a great general. No matter what, up until now, the crown prince still needed the support of the Feng family.
Feng Jiaojiao's words did remind Xuanyuan Qingtian. Yes, this crown prince still has the assistance of the Feng Family, so Feng Yu's current identity was unclear. Even though it was said that she was the daughter of the Feng Family, this identity and reason was somewhat forced. If they could secretly take action against Feng Yu with the help of the Feng Family, then they had something that could control Xuanyuan Zhan.
"Love Consort is right. Isn't it because of the rumors that have come to the capital recently?" After Xuanyuan Qingtian said this, he turned around and looked at Feng Jiaojiao with a sincere face, "Your father truly supports this crown prince."
Feng Jiaojiao was dazed for a moment, and after reacting, she laughed and said, "Where did the Crown Prince say those words? If the father wasn't wholeheartedly focused on the Crown Prince, how could he have let Jiao Jiao marry the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince also knew that even though Jiao Jiao was the daughter born of the Feng family, in his father's heart, she was the most important person. Moreover, Feng Yu was just a nobody with the title of a direct descendant in the Feng family. "
Feng Jiaojiao snuggled into Xuanyuan Qingtian's embrace and said: "Father gave my child to Your Highness, so as to trust in Your Highness's strength. "Don't worry, Father will definitely follow you."
Hearing Feng Jiaojiao's words, Xuanyuan Qingtian's heart immediately thought that this was indeed the case. Putting aside the current Phoenix Feather, just the Phoenix Feather from six years ago had no status in the Phoenix Palace at all. Otherwise, that old thing, Feng Haotian, would not have married Feng Yu to Xuanyuan Zhan.
Truth be told, he knew about what had happened that year. It was because the Feng family was on his side that he had chosen to abandon the useless chess piece, Feng Yu. However, the phoenix feathers that he had discovered seemed to have changed, and were no longer the same as before. Therefore, Xuanyuan Qingtian still felt a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that Feng Haotian would switch sides with him.
"Send your father to see this crown prince tomorrow. Let him come here secretly and not let anyone find out. " Xuanyuan Qingtian said. After all, it was inconvenient for him to cause too much trouble these two days. After all, he had already angered his father when he was at the palace.
The matriarch only sent a message over to say that he was framed. Furthermore, without the matriarch's help, he still could not make up his mind. Furthermore, in these two days, Xuanyuan Qingtian gradually felt a sense of crisis. It looked like Xuanyuan Zhan was about to make a move. He also had to plan in advance. If Xuanyuan Zhan wanted to deal with him, he needed help no matter what.
"Your Highness, don't worry." "Kind of." Feng Jiaojiao said softly, and once again, she fell into Xuanyuan Qingtian's embrace.
Hongfei Pavilion, Murong Zhi's courtyard.
"Well done!" Shangguan Yi said as he looked at Murong Zhi.
In front of Feng Yu, the group of people didn't hide anything. Feng Yu understood that they truly regarded him as one of their own. She could not help but feel excited. After all, it was not easy to get the acknowledgement of Xuanyuan Zhan's close friends. For example, that Nangong Chen was one of them.
Actually, amongst these people, Feng Yu felt that the one who was having the hardest time getting along with Nangong Chen was none other than him. Alright, since they were able to make Xuanyuan Zhan their friend, then naturally, they had their own interactions. Feng Yu also only understood the story between them until now.
"Nonsense!" Murong Zhi rolled his eyes at him in a bad mood, as if he was saying, "With this Nangong Chen's plans and this Pavilion Master's connections, it would be easy to find trouble for the crown prince."
"Yes." Xuanyuan Zhan said. These few days are enough for Xuanyuan Qingtian to be busy, after that, we will have to properly do other things. "
Xuanyuan Zhan remained silent and only looked at the group. They had a tacit understanding between each other, so there was no need for them to say anything more, and everyone understood what was going on.
