The late emperor went to the Yan Fei's chambers.
"Your majesty has arrived!" a eunuch shouted from outside the door. The Yan Fei immediately stood up and prepared to welcome the emperor, "Your consort pays her respects to your majesty." The Yan Fei bowed in greeting.
"Love Consort, no need to be so courteous." With that, Xuanyuan Mo helped the Yan Fei up.
had long noticed the smile on Xuanyuan Mo's face, and thought to himself that the Emperor's mood today was not bad.
"What good news is the Lake Emperor today?"
"Oh ~ Love Consort saw through it." The Emperor raised an eyebrow.
"Chenqie doesn't dare to presume to guess the will of a sovereign. It's just that she saw that the emperor's mood was elated today, so she wanted to ask the emperor if there was any good news." "It was chenqie who overstepped her boundaries. I hope your majesty won't blame me."
"Alright, since when did I say that I would punish you?" Xuanyuan Mo helped Yan Fei up and pulled her to sit on the bed. A good thing, but no, but there's one thing to be happy about. "
"Oh ~ What is it that makes His Majesty so happy? Your Majesty, you might as well tell your concubine and make her happy as well. "
"Today, the imperial court was discussing the calamity at Luoshui City. The crown prince had many ideas and suggestions for the calamity at Luoshui City, and even volunteered to go to Luoshui City to cure it. "Not bad, not bad, the Crown Prince has grown up and knows how to take care of his country."
Seeing that the was so happy today that the Emperor volunteered to help the Crown Prince, he thought that the Crown Prince was finally smart today and did something that made the Emperor happy, and said, "This is all part of the Crown Prince's responsibility, the Crown Prince, as the King, should have shared his burden, and worrying about the matters of the country should have been his responsibility. "But, but …" The Yan Fei stammered.
"But what …"
"It's hard to say."
"What is there to be embarrassed about? This Emperor will let you speak."
"It's just that most of the officials of the Luoshui City believe in the His Majesty the Battle-King and Tian Er doesn't understand how many times she has quarreled with the Battle King. I'm just afraid that those people will use this as an excuse to not listen to the crown prince and make things difficult for him."
"They dare. The crown prince is the crown prince, the future emperor." The emperor was slightly angered. "Who dares to make things difficult for the crown prince?"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Everyone has seen the Battle King's character. The Battle King was able to make many of them submit to him, and the ministers in the imperial court also greatly admire the Battle King. Naturally, it is because of his strength." The Yan Fei noticed that Xuanyuan Mo's expression did not look too good, and added on, "The Battle King's achievements are plentiful, and he is also very kind, the Crown Prince should learn more from the Battle King, it's just that the Crown Prince is not sensible, and always has a grudge with the Battle King."
"Impudent, Tian Er is a dignified crown prince, she's the future crown prince. Why would she need to receive pointers from others, and even need to learn from the Battle-King?" Xuanyuan Mo was furious, "The Crown Prince is the eldest son, don't tell me he has to lower himself to ask for guidance from his own brother."
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Your consort only hopes that the Crown Prince can be courteous to my brothers and sisters."
"Hmph, why didn't I notice the respect of brothers and sisters?" The emperor was so angry that he flung his sleeves and left. 's face revealed a sinister expression as he watched the emperor's leaving figure.
The Emperor was furious. He returned to the imperial study and thought, "This Battle-King is still alive, yet he wants so many court officials to support him. What is he trying to do? Is he planning to rebel or is he trying to take the place of the Crown Prince?" The emperor's attitude towards the Battle-King was suddenly extremely vile. He thought to himself that the Battle-King would have to properly tidy up the imperial court in the next few days, so that the warking's claws wouldn't grow further and further away.
The next morning, the emperor used the reason of overhauling himself to remove all those who were openly and secretly supporting the Battle King from their positions. The Yan Fei then went to find their families to discuss ways to secretly insert them into the important positions in the court.
The Crown Prince was very happy, he thought it would be too late for the Battle King to come back now, his support for the imperial court had been suppressed by the matriarch, even if he waited for the Battle King to return, it would not be enough for him to fight. The next day, they left for Luoshui City.
On the other side, Flying Hung Pavilion brought news from the palace, but the Battle King remained indifferent. Even the usually indifferent Xue Leng could not watch any longer.
"Your highness, it's fine if you usually tolerate everything, but this time they've already ridden on top of your head. This is truly bullying. Don't tell me that you're still indifferent after this?"
"However, you have the backing of the officials of the court. You have the ability to accomplish twice the results with half the effort. Now that the crown prince's power is growing stronger, I'm worried that it won't be easy to deal with him in the future." "If there's a high official in the imperial court speaking up for you in front of the emperor, is that so? Even if you really want to bring down the crown prince, there'll still be people who can plan things for you in the palace."
"It doesn't matter. The crown prince's power relies solely on the Feng and Yan Fei's families. If the crown prince lacks these two helpers, then he won't be able to do anything," Xuanyuan Zhan said. "We've also been out for quite a while, so when I'm done recuperating, we'll go back home." He thought to himself, "If people don't offend me, then I won't offend them. Since you dare to hurt the people I care about, then I won't blame you for killing them all."
"First I assassinated you, and now I'm bullying you in front of the emperor. It seems like it's time for this crown prince to teach him a lesson." Xue Leng said.
After conversing with Xue Leng for a while, Xuanyuan Zhan quietly laid on the bed as though he was thinking about something. He didn't even notice that Feng Yu had entered.
"What happened? Why are you so absent-minded?"
"Yu Er, why don't we wait for my injuries to heal before returning to the capital?"
"Are you going back so soon?" Feng Yu hesitated slightly. Initially, the reason why he agreed to follow the Battle King was to find an opportunity to escape from his side. However, now that he was seriously injured, how could he leave him peacefully? But he himself only knew a little Qing Gong, escaping was fine, but if he met an expert fighting, he would definitely not do it. He suddenly felt that it was useless, he needed the protection of others, even Dou Dou himself would not be able to protect him, staying by Xuanyuan Zhan's side would only drag him down time and time again.
As if he saw Feng Yu's hesitation, Xuanyuan Zhan pulled Feng Yu's hand and said, "Yu Er, don't leave me."
Feng Yu suddenly raised her head and looked at Xuanyuan Zhan's deep in her eyes. Sometimes she would just keep walking with him like this.
After returning to his room, Feng Yu calmed his heart and thought about it carefully before deciding to return to the capital with Xuanyuan Zhan. The reason he had returned to this place back then was to seek revenge for Feng Yu. If he left like this, wouldn't it be a blessing for those who had hurt him before? She, Feng Yu, was not a good person. She would definitely teach all the things that had hurt her a lesson …
After two days of travel, the crown prince and the others quickly reached the Luoshui City, and sure enough, the situation there was serious. The Luoshui City was affected by the insects, and had no harvest, without food, some ordinary citizens had no way of surviving, and many merchants saw the business opportunity, hoarding food, causing the price of rice to soar, causing many commoners to be unable to purchase rice, making it hard to open up a pot in their homes. In order to show off in front of the Emperor, the Crown Prince decided to set aside the food in order to solve the desperate situation of the Luoshui City.
In the end, it was not a long-term solution. The most fundamental problem of the Luoshui City was that, as long as this problem did not be solved, then it would not count as solved.
In less than half a month, the crown prince had encountered a new problem, the food for relief was scarce, and seeing that the ordinary citizens of Luoshui City were about to starve, the crown prince panicked, but there was nothing he could do. They had no choice but to send people to the capital to ask for help. When Yan Fei received the news, he sent someone to call Feng Jiaojiao over.
"Greetings to matriarch."
"Jiao Jiao, you're here. Come, come sit." Yan Fei patted the seat beside him, gesturing for Feng Jiaojiao to sit over.
"matriarch, I wonder what business do you have with Jiao Jiao here?" After all, Feng Jiaojiao was a scheming woman, she knew that the Yan Fei wouldn't look for her for no reason.
"Jiao Jiao, I know you haven't been doing anything to His Highness, but now there's something you need your father's help with. Are you willing?" Yan Fei asked tentatively.
When Feng Jiaojiao heard that it was because she wanted to help too much, she naturally had nothing to say. "matriarch, please tell me what it is, as long as it's something Father can do, Jiao Jiao will definitely ask Father for help."
Yan Fei told Feng Jiaojiao about the problems that the crown prince had with the Luoshui City and that Feng Jiaojiao had someone deliver a letter to the general's mansion.
"Old master, what's wrong?" Second Aunt Shu Juan walked over while twisting her snake like waist, "I heard from a servant that Jiao Er has sent a messenger over. What's wrong?
"Oh, nothing, it's just that a small matter happened to the crown prince at Luoshui City. Jiao Er wants me to go and help the crown prince." What kind of person was Feng Haotian? The reason he was able to sit as the general of today was not only because of his martial prowess, but also because of his intelligence. He thought that this crown prince was really useless for not being able to do such a trivial thing.
"Master, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and send someone over." Shu Juan urged, "Helping His Highness is equivalent to helping our daughter."
Feng Haotian thought that it wasn't bad, since the crown prince was still a useless and useless person, he was also the crown prince. In the future, he would inherit the throne!
The next day, Feng Haotian sent people from the Feng Family to the Luoshui City. The crown prince was relying on the power of the Feng Family to suppress his family by force. He also left food for the citizens of the Luoshui City to grow next year, which helped Luo Shui out of this crisis. However, there was a hidden danger. The Crown Prince had offended a lot of businessmen.
When the Emperor heard about the Crown Prince's efforts to help the people and deal with the insect plague, he praised him greatly.
