Early the next morning.

East Palace.

The prince's bedroom.

"To report to His Highness the Crown Prince, Marquis Jiu'an is outside asking for an audience, saying that there is something important that needs to be reported to His Highness urgently!"

Not long after Zhu Biao got up, Xiao Qi came to the door and said loudly.

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown, with a trace of confusion on his face. He couldn't imagine why Hu Fei wanted to see him so urgently.

Moreover, when he entered the palace yesterday, Hu Fei had nothing to do and happily invited him to go to the Hu family's old house to watch Liquan on the occasion of the Lantern Festival.

"Let him wait in the main hall."

Zhu Biao was deep in thought and said something to the door.

Xiao Qi agreed and left quickly.

"Is it related to Liquan?"

Zhu Biao muttered to himself while putting on his clothes.

On the other side, Hu Fei followed Xiao Qi to the main hall, slowly moving on the ground, his face solemn, and occasionally showing a hint of eagerness.

Xiao Qi on the side looked at Hu Fei who was like an ant on a hot pot, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but feel curious.

Such Hu Fei is rare, at least in Xiao Qi's eyes, it seems to be the first time he has seen him.

But what he didn't know was that the anxious look was just a look deliberately put on by Hu Fei.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Prince Zhu Biao finally arrived.

"The humble minister Hu Fei has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Hu Fei hurriedly saluted and said respectfully.

"No need, why are you so anxious to see me?"

"Isn't it about Liquan?"

Zhu Biao waved his hand, looked at Hu Fei and asked.

After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up at Zhu Biao in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Is it really related to Liquan?!"

Seeing Hu Fei's expression, Zhu Biao immediately realized that he had guessed correctly and couldn't help but ask loudly.

"His Royal Highness is indeed wise, indeed."

Hu Fei nodded, cupped his hands and said.

"what happened?!"

Zhu Biao frowned and asked in a deep voice.

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Hu Fei slowly raised his head, turned around and looked around, showing hesitation.

"Everyone, step back! No one is allowed to come near without my permission!"

Seeing Hu Fei's vigilant look, Zhu Biao immediately understood, so he drank everyone in the hall away, leaving only Xiao Qi.

"Okay, can we talk now?"

Immediately, Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.

He could tell from Hu Fei's expression that this matter must be no small matter.

"Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince, someone wants to use the Liquan incident to cause trouble to the imperial court and destroy the solid foundation of the Ming Dynasty! I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will be aware of it!"

Hu Fei slowly raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao, took a deep breath, and spoke word by word.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Hu Fei's words, Zhu Biao's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed.

Xiao Qi on the side was also shocked.

"This matter is not trivial, don't talk nonsense!"

"What the hell happened?!"

Zhu Biao stared at Hu Fei and said in a solemn voice.

"Go back to Your Highness. If you want to know whether this is true or not, I hope Your Highness will send someone to arrest someone immediately!"

Hu Fei looked at Zhu Biao and said seriously.

"who?!"

Zhu Biao asked in a deep voice.

"The internal envoy of Xihua Sect, Yun Qi!"

Hu Fei answered directly without thinking.

"Xiao Qi, go quickly and bring this person to see me!"

After hearing what Hu Fei said, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment. After a slight hesitation, he looked at Xiao Qi and said loudly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xiao Qi respectfully agreed and immediately walked out.

"Commander Xiao, this matter should not be made public. We can only capture this person secretly!"

Hu Fei looked at Xiao Qi who was about to leave and gave a quick warning.

Xiao Qi glanced at Hu Fei, quickly walked out of the hall, and led the people straight to Xihua Gate.

"Hu Fei, you should know how serious what you just said is. It's best to come up with real evidence, otherwise if this matter gets bigger, you and I will be blamed!"

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and said seriously.

"Your Highness, Prince, please rest assured. If there is no real evidence, I would not dare to make false claims. Please wait for a moment, and everything will be revealed after Yun Qi arrives."

Hu Fei nodded, raised his hands to Zhu Biao and said, extremely seriously.

Convincing Zhu Biao to capture Yun Qi is his third step in resolving this crisis, and it is also the key among the keys!

Zhu Biao looked hesitant and stopped talking, quietly waiting for Xiao Qi to bring him back.

After a long time, Xiao Qi finally returned from Xihua Gate and quickly walked into the main hall with a young eunuch in tow.

"Slave Yunqi, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as the visitor entered the hall, he hurriedly saluted Zhu Biao with a look of panic.

It was none other than Xihua Sect's internal envoy, Yun Qi.

But when he saw Hu Fei standing in front of him with his back to him, not only was his face filled with panic, but even an imperceptible trace of panic flashed deep in his eyes.

"People have been brought here, how do you prove it?"

Zhu Biao ignored Yun Qi, turned to look at Hu Fei, and said in a deep voice.

Hu Fei bowed his hands to Zhu Biao, then slowly came to Yun Qi, pacing back and forth, looking up and down.

He knew very little about the person in front of him, but he did not expect that this person was so young.

Yun Qi knelt on the ground and looked at Hu Fei fearfully, with confusion on his face.

Xihua Gate is the only way in and out of the palace, so this is not the first time he has seen Hu Fei. From the moment he entered the hall, he had already recognized Hu Fei.

"What grudge does the Hu family have against you?"

After a long time, Hu Fei finally stopped, looked at Yun Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly asked an inexplicable question.

Upon hearing Hu Fei's question, Zhu Biao and Xiao Qi were both stunned for a moment, confused because this question had nothing to do with what Hu Fei had just reported to Zhu Biao.

But the moment the person involved, Yun Qi, heard what Hu Fei said, his whole body trembled inadvertently.

"Reporting to Marquis Jiu'an, although I don't know why you said this, I can answer your question."

"Hu Xiangguan is the prime minister, and you are among the marquises. Even if I lend ten more courages to you, I don't dare to have any grudge against the Hu family. I forgive you for not knowing what Marquis Jiu'an means."

Yun Qi bowed and bowed, shook his head and said, with a hint of grievance in his voice.

"Since there is no enmity, why would you join forces with others to trap my father in a place of eternal destruction?!"

"So, you are being instigated by others?!"

Hu Fei snorted coldly, looked at Yun Qi condescendingly, and asked in a deep voice.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Yun Qi trembled all over again, but then he looked up at Hu Fei with a panicked face, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Where did Marquis Jiu'an start from saying this? How dare I, a slave? It's unfair!"

"Your Highness, the servant has been wronged. I hope His Highness will make the decision for the servant!"

Yun Qi looked at Hu Fei and Zhu Biao in panic, and said in a panic, his face full of fear and grievance.

Zhu Biao ignored Yun Qi and looked at Hu Fei with confusion. He was getting more and more confused, so he did not interrupt and waited for what Hu Fei would do next.
