Chapter 230 The Crown Prince is Deposed

Cold sweat almost broke out on his forehead.

He immediately understood what Liang Moyuan had just said.

Qi Fengxian frowned and fell into deep thought.

Liang Moyuan sat quietly beside him, without saying a word, just waiting for Qi Fengxian to make his own decision.

Suddenly, Qi Fengxian raised his head and asked with a firm look in his eyes: "Mrs. Huo, Lord Huo, I only have one question, why me?"

He was curious why Liang Moyuan and Huo Jinjian would entrust such an important matter to him.

Huo Jinjian spoke slowly, "Because Lord Qi is fair enough. As the son of the Prime Minister, you did not take sides with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and fulfilled your duties conscientiously. This is enough to prove that your character is trustworthy enough."

Qi Fengxian's eyes were filled with surprise: "Master Huo, how did you know..."

Liang Moyuan didn't expect that Huo Jin would blurt out such a big secret.

Could it be that before this, Huo Jinjian had already planned to use Qi Fengxian?

"Your father and I have never been enemies. We just have different positions. On the contrary, I respect him very much. I have always known that he was a child who lived outside. Your eyebrows and eyes are too similar to his." Huo Jin looked very calm.

When he met Qi Fengxian, he had doubts about him. Later, he asked the Anbu to investigate and found out that he was indeed the prime minister's son.

But right now is not the time to go into details.

"Master Qi, I believe in you, and I also believe in your father's character."

This is also why Huo Jin did not object too much when Liang Moyuan chose Qi Fengxian to do this.

Qi Fengxian was deeply moved after hearing this. He believed that being an official should serve the people.

Huo Jinjian is a good man and a good official.

Even if the prince is the prince, if he harms Huo Jinjian, he is harming a good official who serves the people and the world.

So he was willing to take this risk.

"Okay, I'm willing to help Lord and Mrs. Huo and make this trip." Qi Fengxian did not hesitate any longer.

Upon hearing this, Liang Moyuan stood up, her usually calm eyes tinged with gratitude: "Master Qi, thank you so much for this."

Seeing Liang Moyuan about to bow to thank him, Qi Fengxian quickly stopped her.

"No, no, I just did what I thought was right. I don't deserve Mrs. Huo's greeting." Qi Fengxian touched the tip of his nose. Every word he said was true and came from the heart.

Liang Moyuan put all the things in a box and handed it to Qi Fengxian.

"You only need to hand these things over to His Majesty. No further explanation is needed."

Qi Fengxian accepted the box solemnly and said, "This matter cannot be delayed any longer. I will enter the palace immediately."

Qi Fengxian left the Huo Mansion and asked for permission to enter the palace directly.

Under the guidance of Wang Quanshan, he entered the imperial study with the box in his arms.

For three whole hours, there was no other sound in the imperial study.

But the clouds in the sky are becoming heavier and darker.

As a flash of lightning broke through the dark clouds, heavy rain that had been depositing for a long time poured down.

The door of the imperial study also opened.

Wang Quanshan nodded to Qi Fengxian who came out.

Then came the emperor's furious voice: "Wang Quanshan! Come in!"

Qi Fengxian looked at the rain dripping down the eaves with a serious expression.

The sky in the capital is about to change.

The rain was falling so hard that it was like a hole in the sky, and I couldn't see anything more than three meters away.

Qi Fengxian returned to his house and followed Liang Moyuan's request as if nothing had happened.

But after the morning court the next day, the news that the prince had been deposed had spread almost throughout the capital.

The Prince's Mansion was sealed off overnight, and all his former retainers and staff were arrested.

Among them is Huo Siyuan.

This was the first time in the history of the dynasty that a crown prince was deposed, and the people were very curious about the reason.

Because the emperor only said in the edict, "Crown Prince Li Yunheng, as the Crown Prince, has neglected his duties and lacks virtue. He is unworthy of being a role model for the world, let alone the monarch of the world."

When Yu learned about this at the Yu family, she immediately rushed back to the Huo Mansion.

But as soon as she returned to the Marquis' Mansion in the carriage, Yu saw Liang Moyuan standing at the door with an indifferent expression, and Marquis Huo who was holding his chest and surrounded by a group of servants.

"My Lord!" Yu jumped off the carriage and hurried forward. Just as she was about to ask for clarification, she was slapped in the face.

“Bang!”

Marquis Huo glared at him with a terrifying look in his eyes.

He wanted to kick again, but was stopped by Liang Moyuan.

"Dad, this is outside the house, don't let outsiders laugh at us." Liang Moyuan's thoughtfulness and understanding at this moment formed a sharp contrast with the stupid things done by Yu and Huo Siyuan.

Marquis Huo hated Yu even more.

Liang Moyuan comforted Lord Huo, but her eyes were slightly cold.

Just when she came back from doing some business outside, she saw Huo Siyuan trying to sneak into the house.

However, he was caught and taken away by people from the Dali Temple on the spot.

The leader only said that Huo Siyuan was suspected of murdering the former crown prince, and did not mention anything else.

But Liang Moyuan and Huo Hou both knew that this matter would not be that simple.

With Liang Moyuan's comfort, Marquis Huo's breathing became more even.

He no longer wanted to look at Yu again.

"Go back to the courtyard and wait and see what kind of disaster your well-educated son will bring to the Marquis' Mansion!"
