“Alright, let’s get down to business,” Feng Yili said lightly as he brought a letter out.

Luo Xiuran took the letter, and after reading it, his expression turned cold immediately. He said indignantly, “The Emperor actually wanted to uproot all your forces when you’re not in Tianxia! Feng Weizhou’s participation in the state banquet was just a distraction. He has long known you’re not in Tianxia so he used Feng Weizhou to make you let down your guard!”

Then, Luo Xiuran thought of something and said, “Wait. Isn’t he worried that you’d discover the truth and deal with Feng Weizhou immediately? If so, he wouldn’t have a Crown Prince anymore.”

An unreadable expression appeared on Feng Yili’s face as he said, “Imperial Brother is suspicious by nature. The Crown Prince and the Empress had done many things behind his back over the years, and he can’t tolerate them anymore. If we get rid of the Crown Prince, he’ll probably be happy.”

Luo Xiuran exclaimed in shock, “You’re saying that useless Emperor not only wants to kill you, but he wants to kill the Crown Prince as well?!”

Feng Yili called out, “Jiang Chuan!” Jiang Chuan came in immediately.

“Yes, Prince Regent.”

“Find a chance to let the Crown Prince know about the situation in Tianxia. It’s time for them to fight each other. I don’t have much patience left,” Feng Yili said in an incomparably cold tone. Because of him, Yu Yunxi and the little bun were always in danger. He had to clear the obstacles for them as soon as possible.

At the back of the palace.

Chu Yuefue bowed before he asked in confusion, “Mother, why are you looking for me?”

After Chu Zai dealt with Consort Mu’s faction, Chu Yuefu still had many things to deal with. He did not know why his mother summoned him at this time.

Empress Qin looked up at Chu Yuefu and asked, “What do you think of the incident?”

“I think we benefited from that incident. Although Consort Mu’s faction isn’t much, it’s still a good thing for us now that it’s destroyed,” Chu Yuefu said, sounding very complacent.

However, Empress Qin’s expression grew darker and darker upon hearing this. She said angrily, “Previously, I told you to get along well Yu Yunxi so she can put in a good word for us in front of your grandfather.”

“That’s right. You want me to marry her, right? She has the support of Grandfather and the King of Zhenbei. With her, I don’t have to worry about the other princes shaking my position, especially Fourth Brother.”

Chu Yuefu sounded unhappy when he mentioned his fourth brother. After all, among all his brothers, only his fourth brother, Chu Yuezheng, posed the greatest threat to him. Moreover, his mother also had to guard against Consort Hong.

Empress Qin shook her head and placed the teacup on the table as she said, “In the past, I also felt that your greatest enemy was the Fourth Prince. However, I was wrong. Everything is wrong…”

Then, Empress Qin said angrily, “Yu Yunxi is the biggest winner in all this. Guess what I found out? She’s actually Feng Yili’s Princess Consort. She’s the Princess Regent of Tianxia!”

“What? She’s Feng Yili’s woman?!”

Chu Yuefu’s expression changed drastically. He assumed that Yu Yunxi was engaged to Xiao Shici at most. He did not expect her to be married to Feng Yili at all.

Chu Yuefu’s anger surged as realization dawned on him. He said, “No wonder!

No wonder Grandfather hid her past. As it turns out, she has such an identity! No wonder Feng Yili came to Xichu! It’s not just to avenge the former King of

Youshan!”

Chu Yuefu clenched his hands tightly as he said unhappily, “Fourth Brother was very calm earlier. He must have known about this long ago! He actually watched us as though we were clowns!”

Empress Qin said, sounding tired, “There are too many people protecting Yu Yunxi. I’m really worried and frightened…”

“Mother, you mean…”

“In the past, your grandfather intended to pass the throne to Chu Changning. With this, who’s to say he won’t pass the throne to Yu Yunxi? Yu Yunxi has so many people protecting her. If she really wants to ascend the throne, I’m afraid it won’t be difficult for her at all. What’s the point of us fighting Consort Hong? Initially, I wanted you to marry Yu Yunxi so she could help you. However, she’s already married to Feng Yili, and they also have a son. It’s impossible for her to be your Crown Princess. Now, she’s also one of your competitors for the throne.”

After listening to Empress Qin, Chu Yuefu grew uneasy and restless. He asked solemnly, “Then, Mother, in your opinion, what should we do?”

“That sl*t, Consort Hong, has long known about this so she stood on the sidelines and watched the show while everyone fought. We can’t just sit back and wait for death. We have to drag the Fourth Prince and Consort Hong down with us! As for Yu Yunxi, we must teach her a lesson. She’s from the Xiao family. If she doesn’t marry Xiao Shici, she won’t have a good ending. The Xiao family will deal with her for us!” Empress Qin said coldly, “Someone, bring me a brush and paper!”

“Mother, who are you writing to?” Chu Yuefu asked, puzzled.

Empress Qin sneered. “Who do you think I’m writing to? Of course, I’m writing to the Xiao family!”

Back when Chu Changning was targeted by the Xiao family, Empress Qin played a part in it. Chu Zai did not like her and the Qin family, but he had respected her enough as the Empress over the years. This was because she had added fuel to the fire and drove Chu Changning away back then.

Chu Yuefu’s mind worked quickly after he listened to Empress Qin’s words. Then, he asked in shock, “Mother, could it be that Imperial Grandfather’s poisoning back then…’

“It’s not me, nor is it your father. At most, we knew the truth and hid it for the Xiao family,” Empress Qin said disdainfully with a sneer.

Chu Yuefu inhaled deeply.

‘This means that the Xiao family had something to do with Imperial Grandfather’s poisoning back then. Are the hidden families so powerful? They could even extend their arms into the imperial palace.’

At this time, Empress Qin looked at Chu Yuefu and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, Yuefu. No one can take away what belongs to you. I promise you..”
