C204 Counterattack (16)

Actually, Xuanyuan Qingtian was still a little confused in his heart. Logically speaking, even if it was the palace maids helping him, Xuanyuan Zhan would not be able to do it so cleanly, and he would not be able to find any mistakes in it. This matter had once puzzled Xuanyuan Qingtian, he never would have thought that it would be because of Xuanyuan Jinger's help.

But that's not important anymore, Xuanyuan Qingtian thought to himself. Soon, he could kill all of them one by one, and soon the throne would belong to him.

Within the imperial study.

"This son greets royal father." Xuanyuan Qingtian said.

Xuanyuan Mo looked up and down at Xuanyuan Qingtian, his eyes not showing much emotion, "Get up, why is the crown prince here today?"

He knew his son very well. It was his way of doing things to not visit the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. Now that it was almost the end of the year, he must be begging him for Yan Fei's matters.

"Father, this son wishes to …" Xuanyuan Qingtian wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xuanyuan Mo frowned, "If you have something to say, tell me. Why are you hesitating to do it this way, you don't even have the dignity of a Crown Prince. Don't forget, you are the Crown Prince of My Xiao Country." Xuanyuan Mo said.

"Yes, your son is thinking about whether or not the restriction on matriarch's legs can be released and whether or not matriarch can come out of the cold palace. Seeing your third brother and the Ning Fei Empress having fun, your son also misses the matriarch. " Xuanyuan Qingtian said, "I hope royal father can grant my wish."

After hearing Xuanyuan Qingtian's words, Xuanyuan Mo couldn't help but be moved, that's right, he did not investigate the matter about the Yan Fei very closely. Although he had personally witnessed it, but according to the attitude the Yan Fei had towards him over the years, it was unlikely that he would do such a thing, and this was how it was, it was because we lacked the care and love for her, but being crowned with the green hat made Xuanyuan Mo very angry, and he couldn't let it go. However, in his heart, he was somewhat reluctant to part with Yan Fei. After all, he had doted on her for so many years.

Alright, looks like the end of the year is approaching, moreover, the Rites of Heavenly Worship will be coming in in a year. Then let Yan Fei come out of the cold palace, and return to her chambers, and only let her take care of it, and don't make any more mistakes, and don't wander around the palace without our permission. Xuanyuan Mo said.

"Yes, this son thanks royal father on behalf of matriarch." Looks like royal father still sees himself as the crown prince. royal father still has some feelings towards the matriarch, if not, royal father wouldn't have been able to release the matriarch from the cold palace so easily. Although royal father hasn't released the restriction on the matriarch, he has already been allowed to freely enter the palace to visit the matriarch.

Xuanyuan Mo was speechless. He waved his hand at Xuanyuan Qingtian, signalling him to leave. Xuanyuan Qingtian left the royal study.

In Yan Fei Palace.

Yan Fei was carried out of the cold palace in tattered clothes. Seeing his own matriarch look like this, as if he had aged several years in one night, Xuanyuan Qingtian naturally wanted to strangle all of the eunuchs and maids in the cold palace.

As for what kind of place the cold palace was, it was the deepest sorrow of all the women in the palace. Usually, the women who entered the cold palace would have no hope of leaving, so who among the palace maids and eunuchs in the cold palace would still treat these unfavoured ladies as human beings, letting them do all this, wash clothes, and go to the toilet. Even cooking for them. From this, it could be assumed that the Yan Fei had suffered a lot from this.

Yan Fei sat in his own chamber and couldn't return for a long time.

"matriarch, matriarch?" Xuanyuan Qingtian nervously shouted as he supported Yan Fei.

Yan Fei looked at Xuanyuan Qingtian, his thoughts pulled back by Xuanyuan Qingtian. Seeing his own son by his side, his eyes filled with tears, unable to hold back, he cried while hugging Xuanyuan Qingtian, "Tian Er …"

Yan Fei's heart was filled with grievances, she knew that although Yan Fei's status was not as noble as the Empress's, she was still a Imperial Concubine, after all, she was the precious daughter of the Yan family in the capital before she entered the palace, she had never suffered such humiliation before.

"Thinking to this point, Yan Fei placed all the resentment he had in his heart onto Xuanyuan Zhan. Tian Er, you must remember that your matriarch is acting this way because of Xuanyuan Zhan. Needless to say, Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu, that little bitch, are definitely framing your matriarch. The Yan Fei roared, "Tian Er, you must not let those two bastards go. Once you ascend to the throne, kill them all for me, let them die!" Yan Fei shouted hysterically, the anger in his heart growing even stronger.

"Good, good, good. matriarch, don't worry, this son will definitely not let them off easy." Seeing Yan Fei's excited expression, Xuanyuan Qingtian comforted him with all his might, "matriarch, you should go wash up first. Men, quickly come and serve matriarch. "

"Yes."

After watching a group of palace servants carry the Yan Fei to the inner hall, Xuanyuan Qingtian left.

After releasing the Yan Fei, the restrictions on the Ning Fei were removed, causing the entire palace to be filled with joyous scenes, but the hidden dangers under this peaceful and joyous occasion was something only Xuanyuan Zhan and Xuanyuan Qingtian understood.

It was night.

All the officials and officials of the royal family were invited to the banquet. They were all happy and happy.

In fact, all of the ministers had their own plans in mind. They all understood that this year was not as harmonious as it seemed.

Within the main hall of the Palace.

"My dear friends, after the new year, it will be our Xiao Kingdom's annual Rites of Heavenly Worship. This time, let the crown prince handle the Rites of Heavenly Worship. Crown Prince, you must perform well and definitely must not let down on the expectations we have placed on you!" Xuanyuan Mo explained in the imperial court and handed the matter over to the crown prince.

Xuanyuan Qingtian was naturally joyous in his heart. He originally thought that although according to the seniority of the people, the identity of a prince was naturally the most suitable, judging from how Xuanyuan Zhan had been pampered by them in the past few days and the love his royal father had for them, Xuanyuan Qingtian thought that his royal father would be the first to hand this matter over to Xuanyuan Zhan. Xuanyuan Qingtian laughed in his heart, this was truly something that came without any effort at all. Because of some things that had happened in the recent days in matriarch, even though royal father took a prejudice against him, in royal father's heart, the only Crown Prince would still be him.

"Your son shall obey." Xuanyuan Qingtian said with a subtle cold smile on his face.

After your year, the biggest thing will be the Rites of Heavenly Worship. Everything was progressing vigorously like a raging fire.

The ritual was complicated. There were many requests, and everything had to be arranged beforehand in order to prevent unnecessary trouble. Therefore, it could be said that Xuanyuan Qingtian had been really busy these past few days.

In the past few days, Xuanyuan Qingtian was busy with repairing all kinds of buildings and facilities in the Heavenly Altar. Tidying up the streets from the Forbidden City to the Heaven Altar Emperor's Sacrifice to make it look new. In order to welcome this annual celebration, the hearts of the citizens of Xiao Kingdom held the most sacred Rites of Heavenly Worship.

In the past few days, Xuanyuan Qingtian had been extremely busy, he did not even care about doing some things, and just happened to give Xuanyuan Zhan the chance to do so.

On this day, Xuanyuan Qingtian was watching the crowd on the altar, and it just so happened that it was Satan's turn to dance. Satan's dance was a kind of dance that offered blessings to the heavens, so Xuanyuan Qingtian paid extra attention to this, personally supervising the rehearsal over and over again.

"Rumble ~ ~" A loud sound rang out, startling the people who were gathered in all four corners of the palace. Even Xuanyuan Mo was alarmed.

"What's going on?" Xuanyuan Mo asked.

"Reporting to your majesty, there has been a sudden explosion on the altar. Quite a few people have been injured by the explosion."

"What?" Xuanyuan Mo was shocked, "How could such a thing happen? Come, let us go take a look."

When Xuanyuan Mo rushed to the altar, it was a complete mess. The entire altar was exploded into pieces. Xuanyuan Mo's face was ashen as he asked Xuanyuan Qingtian who was standing on the side with his head covered in dirt, "Crown Prince, what's going on?"

Xuanyuan Qingtian was terrified in his heart, "This son is not clear. I was just asking them to rehearse for a dance, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Fortunately, the casualties weren't too severe. "

"Who on earth dares to be so audacious as to mess with my altar?" Xuanyuan Qingtian was furious.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject feels that this matter is not that simple. I'm afraid that someone did it intentionally. Their goal should be the crown prince or Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty can investigate thoroughly. " The overseer, Master Song, who was assisting the crown prince said.

"Mm, not bad." Xuanyuan Mo said, looking at the people around him and said, "To be able to become a bomb on the altar, I believe that the person must be one of the members of the training hall, do not let anyone here go, capture him and hand him over to the Magistrate of the Supreme Court."

"Yes sir!"

It was only then that Xuanyuan Qingtian realized that this matter was not simple. Could it be that that person had waited too long and made a move in advance? Xuanyuan Qingtian thought in his heart.

"Father, this son requests that an order be sent to help Magistrate of the Supreme Court investigate this case." Xuanyuan Qingtian said.

Although the stage has been destroyed, the Rites of Heavenly Worship will still be held as scheduled. Since you are the main person in charge of managing the Rites of Heavenly Worship, then you should first take care of the matters regarding the Rites of Heavenly Worship. " Xuanyuan Mo said, "Let the Magistrate of the Supreme Court handle this matter, as we are more at ease with the way they handle things."

"Yes." Although Xuanyuan Qingtian wanted to get involved in this case, firstly, he found out that this case was not normal, and secondly, if it was really them who did it, he had to come up with a plan, but since royal father had already said so, he definitely could not do it anymore. This would only increase royal father's suspicions. Xuanyuan Qingtian thought in his heart.
