His Battle King Manor was heavily guarded, and there were many traps and traps around Feng Yu and Dou Dou. However, even if it was the imperial palace, it would be easy for them to sneak in with spies and spies into the city. Furthermore, there were so many people under his command, each one of them more ruthless than the last.
Xuanyuan Mo's eyes swept the area between them as he turned his head to look at his personal eunuchs. The eunuchs understood his words and immediately retreated, leaving only the few of them behind.
"Crown Prince, I can see that you have something to say, so feel free to speak up. I want to hear your thoughts."
Xuanyuan Qingtian's face lit up, but quickly pretended to be in a difficult situation. He moved his lips and looked at Xuanyuan Zhan with a heartbroken gaze, his acting skills at the pinnacle, vividly expressing the care and love he had for his brother.
Xuanyuan Qingtian straightened his body and walked a few steps towards Xuanyuan Mo before lowering his voice as much as possible. He didn't seem to want to hurt Xuanyuan Zhan too much, but in reality, he was afraid that Xuanyuan Zhan would explode and kill him.
"royal father, what Prince Zhan said about the Battle Princess and the so-called baby that was born in the Battle Princess is fake. He randomly found a woman who looked exactly like the direct daughter of the Feng Family back then and found a six year old child. royal father's face is extremely happy. I'm afraid he will place more importance on his heir … "
Xuanyuan Qingtian sighed, he seemed to be extremely disappointed, and even seemed to be blaming himself for being incapable.
"It's all my fault for disappointing my son. Even if I were to marry an official and two secondary wives for so many years, nothing would come of it …"
Xuanyuan Mo was startled, his gaze was like lightning looking at Xuanyuan Zhan, but Xuanyuan Zhan's expression remained calm, his cold face did not reveal any fluctuations.
What Xuanyuan Qingtian had said was completely within his expectations, and Xuanyuan Mo's reaction was also within his expectations.
The scales in Xuanyuan Mo's heart naturally tilted a little towards Xuanyuan Qingtian. No matter what happened, Xuanyuan Mo's first reaction would be to believe in Xuanyuan Qingtian, and only after that would he slowly calm down and carefully analyze and think about it.
This was only something that had happened since he was young. Xuanyuan Zhan was already used to it, it was not painful at all.
When Xuanyuan Mo saw his gaze, his heart trembled slightly. His eyes showed guilt, but he still firmly believed that this matter needed to be confirmed.
"After the Autumn Hunt, you must bring Feng Yu and that child to the Imperial Palace's drip-blood binding!"
Xuanyuan Qingtian was overjoyed as he thought of his own plan. At that time, it would not be so easy to deal with the matter of the drip-blood binding.
Xuanyuan Qingtian lowered his head, covered the smile on his face, and nodded in acknowledgement. Then, he covered his own arm, and a stream of blood slowly flowed out from within his sleeve, wetting a large portion of it.
Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Mo tensed up and immediately stood up.
"Zhan'er, what happened to your arm?"
"It's fine, I was injured while killing the assassin, it wasn't any serious injury."
Xuanyuan Mo didn't believe that he could be so casual, and immediately called for the imperial physician. When he tore open his sleeve, he saw that there was a long sword wound on his arm, and his flesh had turned extremely terrible.
Xuanyuan Mo frowned, he clenched his fists, he felt that his plan was going to change.
After the imperial physician quickly checked and applied the medicine, he lowered his head and reported to Xuanyuan Mo.
"Prince Zhan is severely injured. Although his meridians are not injured, he lost so much blood and needs to recuperate."
"I want to return to the Duke Palace. With Xue Leng there, I'll definitely take good care of myself."
Xuanyuan Mo thought for a moment, but didn't say anything. Xuanyuan Qingtian had an idea, if he let him go now, wouldn't he have to give him a chance to find Dou Dou? Absolutely not!
"Father, if this Prince Zhan returns this time, will he … After all, he had just mentioned the matter of the phoenix feather and the imperial bloodline.
This time, Xuanyuan Mo did not protect him, and turned to glare angrily at Xuanyuan Qingtian.
Don't spout nonsense here, your reprimand just now was a coincidence. Your little brother was injured in the hunting grounds, and don't forget that your servant among the assassins hasn't found out what happened.
Xuanyuan Qingtian had no choice but to shut his mouth and lower his head, unwillingly retreating to the side.
Just like that, Xuanyuan Zhan was sent out of the hunting grounds. As he laid in the carriage, he frowned, and it was not because of the wound, but because of Dou Dou.
He had purposely gotten the wound on his arm. He had originally wanted to use this as a means to discredit Xuanyuan Qingtian, but he hadn't thought that it would actually be useful in a place like this.
Closing his eyes, he did not care about the pain in his arm. He wanted to know what had happened.
Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes revealed a cold glint, "The crown prince has really made his move, is Yu Er alright?" he asked worriedly, spitting frost between his teeth.
"The princess is fine, she's just too anxious. That person must have taken advantage of the time when the mistress of the Ning Fei was out and the royal concubine and all the guards were thinking the same thing. We also found Lv Su's corpse and the Lv Su who brought him away was fake.
"His Highness the Crown Prince sure has a good method. He knew that taking advantage of the situation, the matriarch would probably take advantage of this opportunity to come to the Battle King Manor."
Xuanyuan Zhan's expression was calm, but his heart was in turmoil. He had promised Feng Yu that he would protect the two of them well, but now, he made such a mistake.
He gave the order to speed up the carriage, and the smooth carriage began to vibrate due to the sudden increase in speed. This involved his wounds, but he didn't care in the slightest.
Returning to Battle King Manor, the moment he entered the door, he welcomed everyone's anxious faces. He did not care about his own arms and directly went to find Feng Yu.
Feng Yu was sitting uneasily in the courtyard, looking like she wanted to go out and look for her, but was unable to do so. The sides of her skirt were covered in mud, and her pair of beautiful big eyes were filled with fear and emptiness.
Xuanyuan Zhan's heart hurt even more when he saw this. He didn't even have time to think before he extended both his arms to hug her, but he reacted in time and dropped his arms halfway.
This action allowed Feng Yu to discover his existence. She turned around and saw the confused look on the youth's face as if she didn't understand what she was doing.
"You … "I'm back."
Feng Yu's lips moved, and then these words came out of her mouth after a long while. Xuanyuan Zhan's brows sank, took a step forward, and stood in front of her as she said, "Dou Dou's matter is this king's fault, this duke will definitely find and bring him back right away."
Feng Yu's eyes lit up as she caught something hidden in his words. She couldn't help but stand up and look at him deeply.
"Do you know where Dou Dou is?"
"This matter was done by the crown prince, he … This is against This King, and then it will implicate you two, mother and son. "
Feng Yu became anxious when she heard it, as the thought of Xuanyuan Zhan using the mother and son pair to get favor in front of Xuanyuan Mo flashed through his mind. His mind was in a complete mess, and she instantly lost her reasoning.
"You … What did you do to induce the crown prince to do such a thing? Did you say something on His Majesty's face again? "
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at her in confusion. "What did I say?" He looked straight at Feng Yu with her dark eyes. Feng Yu reached out and grabbed his arm, her tone even more arrogant.
"You have always reiterated that Dou Dou and I are your consort and children. A crown prince who has no children would naturally harbor ill feelings for you, thinking that you want to …" As Feng Yu spoke, she felt that something was wrong. She looked down at her hands, which were sticky and covered in blood.
Feng Yu accidentally grabbed onto the wound on his arm and unconsciously used force. The wound split open and fresh blood flowed out again.
"What happened to you?" Feng Yu looked at the bright red blood in her hand in shock as she said that. Xuanyuan Zhan shook his head.
"Nothing major." he said, not even frowning.
How could he, the person who was in close proximity to Xuanyuan Qingtian, be perfectly fine? He immediately guessed that the wound on his hand was definitely related to Xuanyuan Qingtian.
Feng Yu lowered her head, feeling that she had gone too far just now. A moment of worry caused him to lose her temper recklessly at Xuanyuan Zhan.
"I'm sorry." Xuanyuan Zhan raised his eyebrows in surprise. She, who had never seen Feng Yu's side before, did not know why she was apologizing.
"For what?"
"I shouldn't have treated you like this, and you …"
Feng Yu could not continue, and stared at his injured arm. Xuanyuan Zhan, on the other hand, understood what she was saying, and his mood unconsciously improved a little.
"This matter is indeed This King's fault. If this duke had hidden even a little bit of my strength, there would have been no chance for me to secretly bring Dou Dou to royal father's side … The crown prince, however, don't worry. For the time being, he won't harm Dou Dou's life.
Xuanyuan Zhan had shouldered all of the responsibility, causing Feng Yu to feel that he, Feng Yu, was somewhat responsible for her actions.
"What should we do next?" sneaking into the crown prince's place to save Dou Dou? " "No, if I were to capture him, I definitely wouldn't hide him in my own territory. I definitely would have sneakily found a place to imprison Dou Dou. Where the hell am I supposed to find him?"
"Don't worry, This King has already ordered people to monitor the movements of the crown prince and his subordinates. They should be able to receive the news very soon." Xuanyuan Zhan looked at Feng Yu and said, "Yu Er, go wash up first. Change into a set of clothes and eat some more.
Of course, how could she eat it!
"I... I think it's best if I sit down and wait. It's fine if I wait for Dou Dou to come back. "
Feng Yu said with a frown on his face. Then, she raised his face, in order to let his heart calm down.
"Who did you get to spy on the princes and their supporters? Your own secret guard? "
"No." Xuanyuan Zhan denied it, "I will make Murong Zhi watch over them."
