East Palace.

In the main hall.

Seeing Hu Fei's confident look, Zhu Biao began to pace again, looking thoughtful. Only he knew what he was thinking.

Hu Fei said no more and stood silently aside with a respectful expression.

He couldn't be anxious. When things got to this point, no matter if any step went wrong, the whole game might be lost.

After a long time, Zhu Biao finally stopped and turned to look at Hu Fei.

"However, it would be unfair to Prime Minister Hu and the Hu family to end the matter in such a unclear manner, and I feel guilty."

Zhu Biao looked at Hu Fei and couldn't help but sigh.

"His Royal Highness has such a heart, I am very grateful to you."

"But since this matter has not had any impact on my father and the Hu family, justice and injustice are understandable. I don't want to make the matter too big, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."

"I am a person who is afraid of trouble. Your Highness should know that, so ending it like this is the best result."

Hu Fei bowed respectfully, smiled and said.

"Well, in that case, let's do as you say."

"But don't worry, I will compensate you for what I owe you and the Hu family today. Sooner or later, I will compensate you."

Zhu Biao nodded and said seriously.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hu Fei bowed his hand and said gratefully.

"Okay, that's it for now. Please step aside. I will take care of the rest."

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said slowly.

Hu Fei nodded, saluted and turned to leave.

But after taking a few steps, Hu Fei stopped again and turned to look at Zhu Biao.

"What else?"

Zhu Biao hesitated and asked slowly.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for saying one more word. After tonight, we should all forget about this matter and treat it as if it never happened. We will not even mention it in the future."

"It would be fine if Han Jiang is the culprit, but I'm afraid there is someone behind him, so I can only put this matter to rest. I hope His Highness will understand."

"But from tonight onwards, Han Jiang will definitely be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"As for Yunqi's life, you can keep it for now, just to be prepared."

"That's it for now, I'll take my leave."

After Hu Fei cupped his hands and nodded slightly, he turned around and walked out without looking back.

Zhu Biao froze on the spot, looking at Hu Fei's leaving figure, feeling extremely shocked.

Hu Fei's words once again reminded him that this matter may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

Outside the main hall.

Han Jiang and Xiao Qi stood on either side, not talking to each other, as if they were deliberately avoiding something.

Seeing Hu Fei coming out, they both turned around at the same time and bowed their hands respectfully.

"Commander Han, I hope you won't mention it to anyone about what happened today. You have never been to the East Palace, let alone met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Even if something happens in the future, His Royal Highness is not allowed to be involved. I believe you should know what to do."

Hu Fei glanced at Xiao Qi next to him, looked at Han Jiang, and said with a profound expression.

"Please rest assured, Marquis Jiu'an, I understand. Thank you for your advice."

Han Jiang hurriedly bowed respectfully and replied slowly.

"Okay, it's very late. It's time for me to go back. You two will stay here."

Hu Fei nodded, looked up at the sky, put his hands on his back, and left slowly.

"Farewell to the Marquis of Jiu'an."

"Jiu'an Hou, walk slowly."

Han Jiang and Xiao Qi saluted at the same time and watched Hu Fei leave.

After a long time, Hu Fei finally left the palace.

The moment he stepped out of the palace gate, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

The Liquan crisis, until now, has been completely resolved, and the key point in the Hu Weiyong case has been put to rest.

But he knows that he cannot take it lightly. Now that he has stepped into this game of chess, he must be careful at all times. Otherwise, if he makes a wrong move, he will be doomed.

"Master."

When they saw Hu Fei coming out, Pei Jie and Chun Die had already come up to him with concerned expressions on their faces.

"Go home."

Hu Fei smiled, said lightly, and got on the carriage.

Seeing the smile on Hu Fei's face, Pei Jie and Chun Dishe breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that the matter was resolved.

...

Hu Mansion.

When Hu Fei returned to the mansion in a carriage, he found Qin Hai waiting at the door.

Qin Hai claimed that Hu Weiyong had been waiting for Hu Fei to return in the study, so Hu Fei dismissed everyone and walked to the study alone.

When Hu Weiyong, who was sitting anxiously in the study, heard the footsteps, he immediately walked out quickly. When he saw his son slowly approaching, he finally let go of his worries.

"solved?"

Hu Weiyong looked at his son walking up to him and asked hesitantly.

"Let's talk after we go in."

Hu Fei nodded, passed by Hu Weiyong, and walked straight into the study.

Hu Weiyong hurriedly followed in and closed the door.

"how's it going?"

After closing the door, Hu Weiyong hurriedly asked again.

"It's okay, you can pretend nothing happened and do whatever you want."

Hu Fei poured a cup of tea, drank it in large gulps, and said calmly.

"good!"

After hearing his son's answer, Hu Weiyong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, but seeing the exhaustion on his son's face, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"I'm sorry for you. Are you hungry? I'll ask the chef to make you something to eat. Take a good rest after eating."

Hu Weiyong looked at his son and said sincerely.

"No need, I'm just a little sleepy. I'll be fine if I take a nap."

Hu Fei waved his hand and said with a smile.

This was the first time that he showed his mental and physical exhaustion in front of Hu Weiyong, and only in front of Hu Weiyong could he dare to be so relaxed, because in the end, they were all grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

Hu Fei nodded and slowly sat on the chair, his face still a little solemn.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

Hu Fei glanced at Hu Weiyong and said calmly.

He knew that Hu Weiyong must be holding a lot of questions in his heart.

"You went to see His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question in his mind.

"Not only that, but also King Yan."

Hu Fei nodded and said slowly.

"Is the matter really as you said, a secret plot by the school inspector?"

Hu Weiyong continued to ask.

"That's right, Ambassador Han Jiang and Mao Xiang came out to bribe Yun Qi and cooperated inside and outside. It seems that someone really wants to kill you."

Hu Fei nodded and said calmly.

"Han Jiang? I didn't expect it was really him! Just because I once reported to Your Majesty that the school should be abolished?!"

Hu Weiyong frowned and said in a deep voice.
