"Crown Prince, this place is where all the ladies of the mansion live. You can't go in there, Crown Prince!"

The voice from the side hall gradually drifted further and further away. The crown prince, dressed in brocade, appeared in the side chamber. Presumably, he had a goal in mind.

After finding out everything from Feng Jiaojiao, the crown prince had decided to directly kill this woman from the Duke Palaces without being caught off guard. If there was a woman who looked similar to Feng Yu here, he definitely would not let her off so easily.

He had just opened the door to the side chamber, but it was completely clean here. There was no need to mention Feng Yu, although the Crown Prince was slightly unwilling, he soon discovered something new. The ground was originally clean, but at the corner of the bed was an exquisite jade flute.

It didn't seem like something ordinary people used, but rather something meant for their children.

However, before the crown prince could take a closer look, a familiar voice sounded from behind him, "I wonder what business does Your Highness have to be so anxious to come to my residence?"

Even if the crown prince did not turn around, he knew who the person behind him was. Other than Xuanyuan Zhan, who would dare to speak to him in such a tone?

Initially, the crown prince only wanted to investigate whether his information was real or not, but after arriving here, he already saw some children's stuff. Someone had clearly cleaned up the area beforehand, Xuanyuan Zhan had to admit that he was extremely vigilant.

Xuanyuan Zhan, however, made a gesture of invitation towards the crown prince, "A side chamber like this is not suitable for the crown prince to come here, how about we go to the main hall?"

The Crown Prince nodded gently and the two of them left the side hall with their own thoughts. The two of them had never been on good terms with each other before, but every time they met, their relationship was subtle.

Although the crown prince was the master of the Eastern Palace, in the imperial court, the most respected person was still Xuanyuan Zhan, so the crown prince had always held a grudge against Xuanyuan Zhan, he felt that as long as Xuanyuan Zhan was here, he would never be able to obtain a good position.

Of course, Xuanyuan Zhan knew what the Crown Prince was thinking, he was clearly much more knowledgeable than the Crown Prince, but he could easily dodge a spear, and was hard to guard against in the dark. Since the Crown Prince had come looking for him, he probably already knew about what happened to Feng Yu and her son.

"My hospitality is lacking, I hope that you don't forgive me, Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince was naturally waving his hand, the two of them spoke of nonsense, but the Crown Prince was sitting on pins and needles, he and Xuanyuan Zhan had never had anything to say, in the political assembly, if it wasn't for you dying, then it would be me dying.

Obviously, the crown prince did not plan to waste anymore time. As long as Feng Yu was still in the capital, he would have the chance to make her move.

But that was not the case. The material of the jade flute was not just ordinary, it was a special material that only existed in the Western Regions, yet it was seen in a place like the side palace. It was enough to know how much Xuanyuan Zhan loved that child.

The alarm in the crown prince's heart rang. He suddenly had doubts as to who the person who had ordered Feng Yu to appear in the capital was, and was it the person in front of him? There were too many questions and no one answered them, but if everything were arranged by Xuanyuan Zhan, then the threat they posed to him was too great.

Even the Emperor wanted his grandson to go crazy. Although he had many concubines, he himself had not had a child for many years.

The Crown Prince didn't know whether or not Xuanyuan Zhan had planned for the wangfei's return. If it was, he definitely wouldn't let this opportunity go and directly admitted that this child was his own flesh and blood. This was the best bargaining chip in front of the Emperor!

If that was the case, then perhaps the scales in the Emperor's heart would tilt in his direction.

The Crown Prince couldn't bear such consequences, so he could only do his best to defend himself before anything happened.

"I still have some matters to attend to today, so I will not stay for long. A Zhan, please wait."

The crown prince's voice contained Xuanyuan Zhan's past name. Xuanyuan Zhan was slightly stunned, but he still bowed and said, "Crown Prince, take care."

It was like a war without smoke, but with killing intent concealed within. This kind of moment wasn't bad and was immediately fatal, but if he wasn't careful he would end up losing everything.

After the crown prince left the palace, Xuanyuan Zhan explained some things to Lei Yu. Once Lei Yu found out about what happened, he admitted that he would do his best.

Lei Yu, who had been by Xuanyuan Zhan's side for such a long time, naturally understood what Xuanyuan Zhan meant.

It seemed like the danger would arrive soon.

When the crown prince returned to the palace, he immediately went to the Phoenix Maiden Pavilion to find matriarch and tell him everything he knew. Yan Fei let all the palace maids by his side withdraw, leaving behind only his trusted aides.

The Yan Fei's Liu Yan, the crown prince's mother, beautiful and enchanting. Although she was close to forty years old, she still had to be pampered greatly, secretly harming her beloved newbies, nurturing her crown prince's power, and she was well aware that the only one who could threaten the crown prince's position was the Battle King — Xuanyuan Zhan.

However, this Battle-King was not easy to deal with, so he could only attack from the side of the Battle-King.

"Your son, are you sure that person is Feng Yu, the direct descendant of the general's estate, Feng Yu?"

The Yan Fei naturally did not dare believe this. Initially, they had always been afraid that Xuanyuan Zhan's power was too strong, afraid that the Emperor would pull the crown prince off his horse and let Xuanyuan Zhan sit on the throne.

Feng Yu and my concubine, who were by my side, were sisters. Yesterday, she had just returned to the Feng Family, but by the time royal father personally brought Xuanyuan Zhan to the Imperial Palace, everything was known.

No matter what Xuanyuan Zhan does, it will only make royal father suspicious. At that time, royal father will only have eyes for this son, so wouldn't matriarch's position be enough to become the master of the harem? "

The crown prince was very scheming, but since Yan Fei was an experienced person, she knew that Xuanyuan Zhan's character was not as weak as the Ning Fei's, who could easily be bullied. Thus, after thinking for a while, she finally agreed to the crown prince's decision.

"Someone, start the carriage."

Yan Fei's beautiful eyes were full of schemes. Although the Emperor had pampered her a lot over the years, but no matter how much he pampered her, her position was the same as Ning Fei. She was only a concubine, nothing more.

"Yes!" The palace maid's voice sounded outside the door for a moment, then there were people who came over. Yan Fei got onto the palanquin with the support of the crown prince, and before they got on the palanquin, he said, "Be cautious, you should know."

The Crown Prince recalled the lesson last time and lowered his head in shame, "matriarch is right, this son will remember it."

The crown prince and his mother had already stayed at the palace for half a day. They were only talking about the fact that the dead had come back to life, and asking the emperor if he believed them.

Although the emperor was past his prime, his eyes were very shrewd. When he heard the crown prince talk about resurrecting from the dead, as well as the rumors in Chang An city, he couldn't help but suspect the crown prince's motives.

"The rebirth of the dead is such a strange and chaotic matter. We naturally will not believe it. The dead are already dead, how can they still talk about coming back to life. However, what does my son mean?"

The crown prince was somewhat afraid of the emperor, so when the emperor asked him a question, he was naturally shocked in his heart. However, when he saw Yan Fei's gaze, he eventually kneeled down and said respectfully.

"Father said that this kind of strange and chaotic situation cannot be trusted now, but it is coincidental. Today, I heard from the mansion's gossiping concubine that her sister, who had already passed away, had appeared in her parents' home."

"Has my son lost his judgment? Causing trouble with a concubine, huh? "

The emperor's tone became somewhat intriguing. The crown prince carefully observed the emperor's expression and knew that he had angered his father, so he hurriedly said, "But it's because your son's disappointing concubine was the one who passed away for six years …" Battle Princess. "

The Crown Prince didn't mention anything about the existence of the child. He was afraid that the child would interfere with his plans.

"It's her?!"

The took the opportunity to speak beside the Emperor, "I think it's just these kids messing around. How did they come back to life after dying for six years?

However, Yan Fei's words didn't have the effect of persuading the emperor. Instead, it unintentionally made the emperor more suspicious of the authenticity of the matter.

"Men, declare War King to enter the palace."

The Emperor's voice contained rage. If this matter was true, it would be the best weapon for the crown prince to take away Feng Yu and the Battle-King in one fell swoop.

When the Battle King received the news, it was already dusk. However, his imperial uniform had already been changed, as if he had already known that the emperor would order him to enter the palace. He glanced at the side courtyard before leaving without looking back.

The atmosphere in the palace was a little solemn. Actually, almost everyone in the palace knew that the Emperor did not favor Xuanyuan Zhan, so he had always been restricted from walking around.

Only during the new year could he visit the matriarch. However, right now, he had been summoned into the palace in a hurry. With the presence of the crown prince, it was definitely not a good thing.

The Palace Mistress who was on good terms with the Ning Fei saw that something was off, so she quietly retreated to avoid the Crown Prince's eyes and ears, then secretly went to the Wanluo Palace to inform him.

It was just that the servant was forced to mention the matter of the revival of the Battle Princess.

"What?" Feng Yu has come back to life? "

Of course she knew about Feng Yu. Of course she knew that if she wasn't so seriously ill, her royal son wouldn't have married the Feng Family's daughter. But fortunately, that woman was as gentle as water and didn't cause her son any trouble.

But at this time, the Ning Fei hated himself for his incompetence. He clearly knew that Xuanyuan Zhan was in a difficult situation, but he was unable to help.
