After saying that, he didn't see Mu Ying accompanying him, so he frowned slightly: "Master, didn't Mu Ying find you?"
"No, has he reached Ziyun Peak?" Chen Xi frowned, with a vague premonition.
Seeing Butler Tian frowning, she secretly screamed that she was in trouble - that piece of wood must be hit by Xuan Lishuang and the others. Otherwise, how could she explain to Nishang?
Feng Qingyang saw the worried look on Chen Xi's face and knew that she must have the same worries as him.
He frowned and sent a code signal into the air, ordering the shadows of the Dark Night Corps to quickly go to Ziyun Peak to find Muying, and if necessary, kill them.
"Master, the situation is turbulent now, and the prince is ready to make a move. Is our plan about to be launched?"
"..." Feng Qingyang was silent, his eyes falling on Xiao Qiansi.
For him, the plan should indeed be advanced!
He nodded and said coldly: "Enter the palace!"
…
Prince, in the palace, Feng Junchen stood in the center of the hall with a solemn expression, his fists behind him clenched so hard that veins popped out.
His confidants stood on both sides of the magnificent hall. They were all pale and exhausted. They looked at Feng Junchen with twinkling eyes, feeling very troubled.
"Is there no other way?"
"Your Highness, Xiliao has been coveting our top ten cities for many years. Now that the emperor has fallen into their hands, how can they give up?"
"My father told me before going on the expedition that no matter what the reason is, those ten cities must not fall into the hands of the enemy. Otherwise, I will give up my position as Crown Prince to someone worthy of my honour."
Feng Junchen's gloomy eyes fell on the bright yellow scroll on the desk.
In the scroll, the wild bold characters clearly express the meaning of the emperor of the Western Liao Kingdom.
Ten cities for one emperor!
From Feng Junchen's perspective in the past, Emperor Ling Xiao's capture should have been a matter of complete benefit and harm to him.
After all, if the emperor is unfortunately killed, then he, the prince, can naturally inherit the throne.
Unfortunately, a few days ago, there was sudden news from Feng Mulian.
It is said that Emperor Ling Xiao left a secret edict to Feng Mulian before going on the expedition, which seems to be related to his position as crown prince.
As soon as this news reached Feng Junchen's ears, his whole body immediately became confused.
What everyone speculated about every day and every night was whether Emperor Ling Xiao might have changed the candidate for the next emperor in the secret edict.
If it is really changed, the consequences will not be something he can afford to lose!
Therefore, before seeing the contents of the secret edict, he must ensure the personal safety of Emperor Ling Xiao.
However, if the city is used to attack Emperor Ling Xiao, his crown prince position will not be guaranteed.
Don't change it. If Emperor Ling Xiao has a shortcoming, the consequences will not be something he can afford.
This is really confusing.
He summoned all his confidants overnight and held secret talks for three days and three nights. The only solution he came up with was to find the Sixteenth Princess to negotiate with the Emperor of Xiliao and ask them to release Emperor Ling Xiao unconditionally.
The minister who proposed the proposal said: "Your Highness, I have undoubtedly heard that the Sixteenth Princess has some friendship with the Emperor of Xiliao. If the Sixteenth Princess agrees to come forward, it may be an opportunity."
"Feng Qingyang will not agree!"
He rejected the proposal immediately when he heard it.
First of all, the Sixteenth Princess was his mortal enemy, and he was unwilling to beg her eagerly despite suffering so many hidden losses.
Secondly, Feng Qingyang loves his wife dearly and is very jealous. It is impossible for him to let his wife find another man to plead for mercy.
He rejected this proposal from the bottom of his heart!
However, repulsion was repulsion, and after another day and night of sleepless discussion, he finally had no choice but to compromise.
After sending someone to Prince Gong's Mansion to invite someone, his heartbeat kept beating fast.
Just when he almost fainted from exhaustion due to his accelerated heartbeat, the chamberlain finally hurried over to report that the Sixteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Princess were here.
As soon as the chamberlain's report fell, two charming figures appeared in front of them. When they saw Feng Junchen, the faces of the two dandy couples were expressionless.
Without bowing, Feng Qingyang asked quietly: "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is looking for us?"
"Sixteenth brother!"
The expression on Feng Junchen's face was stiff. The situation was urgent and he had no time to pursue Feng Qingyang and Chen Xi for disrespecting him.
He strode towards them, his deep voice unable to conceal his uneasiness: "Sixteenth brother, my father was captured by Xiliao!"
"oh?"
Feng Qingyang raised his eyebrows slightly, his deep and distant eyes fell on Feng Junchen's tense face, and he asked coldly: "What requests did they make?"
"They want the ten cities that my father cares about most."
Speaking of this, Feng Junchen's face turned even paler: "Sixteenth brother, you know, we can't give you those ten cities for anything. Second brother is here to find you today..."
"Give it, why can't you give it?"
Feng Qingyang held Chen Xi's hand and lazily sat down on the main seat in the main hall.
Feng raised his eyes slightly and saw the gasps of those ministers at his disrespectful behavior. The corners of his lips curved and his smile deepened.
While playing with Chen Xi's weak and boneless hands, he said softly: "The city is dead, but the people are alive. Isn't it possible that the father in the heart of the prince is not as good as those ten dead things?"
"You..." Feng Junchen choked at Feng Qingyang's sharp words.
His face turned pale and he said hoarsely: "What are you talking about, sixteenth brother? In my heart, my father's life is naturally worth more than anything else! But..."
He hesitated: "You also know that those ten cities are of extraordinary significance to the Lingxiao Kingdom. Back then, my great-grandfather almost lost his life trying to win these ten cities. Now, if these ten cities are in my palace
The hand is handed over to let people..."
"Then you will become a sinner for the ages. My father will definitely not be able to forgive you, right?"
Feng Qingyang leisurely took over what Feng Junchen said in a lower voice. He shrugged indifferently, looking cool and unruly: "Your Highness, you are the supervisor to protect your father and the country.
If you don’t have the ability to fully protect the responsibilities of the crown prince, it only means that my father has overestimated your ability. According to my opinion, it is better for those who are incompetent to give way as soon as possible!"
"you……"
"Sixteenth Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince's ability is obvious to all. After all, he is also the crown prince of a country and your brother. Please be respectful when you speak."
There was a minister who couldn't stand Feng Qingyang's contempt for Feng Junchen. He took a step forward unhappily, his face as serious as his tone.
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, looked at the former empress's most trusted confidant with a smile, and said with a smile: "Haha, my lord, did you think about your own identity before speaking?"
