Feng Yin changed back into his tattered clothes, rolled in the mud a few times, and made himself look miserable before sneaking back home.

I had just entered the room for a while and hadn't even changed my clothes when Master Feng arrived.

Looking at his grandson with a dirty face and blood on his arms, Taifu Feng couldn't help but frown: "How did you get yourself like this?"

Feng Yin didn't say anything. He took the medicine and poured it on his arm, then wrapped it with a bandage very casually.

Taifu Feng quickly raised his hand to send someone to find a doctor, and sat down next to Feng Yin: "Didn't you see the princess?"

Feng Yin glanced at him and asked, "Why are you asking the princess?"

Master Feng sighed, and then began to analyze the current situation with Feng Yin.

"The King of Southern Qi is a man of both civil and military talents. Besides his relatives, many military generals are also willing to support him. The King of Yanping is even more skilled in martial arts and has countless powerful generals under his command. He used to be a little weak in literary skills, but now he has the full support of the Lu family."

"We, the old ministers, want to support the young master, but we are surrounded by tigers and wolves, and lack military support."

Feng Yin remained silent. Grand Tutor Feng continued, "Rong Qing is the heir of the Rong family. He is highly skilled in martial arts, and the guards he leads are well-trained, capable of fighting one against a hundred. He is currently leading the team to protect Your Majesty, but his loyalty lies with Princess Xuanyang, and he has no intention of supporting the young master."

Taifu Feng knew that his grandson was a sensible man and wanted to stop at the right time. The overall situation at hand concerned the country and the people, so Feng Yin should understand what he meant.

However, Feng Yin did not understand and did not respond.

He put on his clothes, washed his face, sat down and started reading a book, ignoring his grandfather as if he were air.

Taifu Feng was silent for a moment before sighing, "Are you resenting Grandpa?"

Feng Yin put down the book and looked up at Feng Yuan: "It was you who prevented me from having contact with the princess, and it's you who keeps mentioning her now."

Taifu Feng spoke righteously, "Things are different now, and we are talking about serious matters. His Majesty is in imminent danger, and the government is in turmoil. She is the princess of the current dynasty and His Majesty's sister. She has the ability and the responsibility to protect the country."

Feng Yin: "There is more than one princess in the court. You used to dislike her bad reputation and bad personality, but now you think she is capable of calming the situation, right?"

Taifu Feng remained silent. Feng Yin turned his gaze away and said, "Grandfather, you can't dislike the princess while trying to take advantage of her affection for me."

Imperial Tutor Feng disagreed. "How can this be considered exploitation? I simply wanted the princess to express her stance and help stabilize the court for His Majesty. This is also for her own good. If someone else became emperor, would she still be able to be so comfortable as a princess?"

Feng Yin lowered his eyes, his expression dim: "I can't help you with this matter, you guys figure it out on your own."

Taifu Feng also saw his grandson's stubbornness. Although he was anxious, he had no choice but to ask: "I just want a definite answer right now. What's going on with the princess?"

"I didn't see her."

Feng Yin said this calmly. Just then the doctor arrived. He asked the doctor to go with him to another place to apply medicine as he didn't want to continue facing Master Feng.

It's understandable that my grandfather wants to support the eldest prince and win over the most powerful and imposing Princess Xuanyang. Princess Xuanyang herself dares to confront those princes, not to mention that she has such an elite army at her disposal. She is definitely the help that these people urgently need.

It is not wrong for the grandfather to want the princess's support, but he cannot prevent him from contacting the princess and then use him to test and plot against the princess.

Besides, the princess is a person with her own opinions. In the face of the overall situation, she chose to stay indoors, which must be due to her own plans, rather than being used by them as a talisman for the eldest prince.

It was rare for Feng Yuan to speak so earnestly to a junior. Seeing that he was stubborn and unyielding, he immediately became angry: "If the eldest prince loses, there will be no possibility between you and her."

Feng Yin didn't even turn his head. Whether there was a possibility between him and the princess was not up to him or his grandfather.

He had prayed for the princess's favor, and if he still asked to use the princess, it would be impossible.

At this time, in Prince Yanping's mansion, Xiao Jingzhao was also asking the same question.

"How is it? Have you confirmed Xuan Yang's condition?"

Now he and the King of Southern Qi are evenly matched in strength. The eldest prince seems to have a lot of supporters, but most of them are scholars. If a real fight breaks out, they are not to be feared.

The most important thing is that they know the secret of Xiao Jingyun's life experience. He is a bastard adopted by the Queen Mother as a replacement. As long as this news spreads, the emperor is no longer of royal blood, and the eldest prince naturally has no qualifications to inherit the throne.

With his background exposed, Grand Tutor Feng and the Wang family were doomed to fail, and the final battle would be between him and the King of Southern Qi.

However, this is just imagination, and we don’t know how to actually implement it.

At this point, Xuan Yang is still the biggest variable.

Her invulnerable cavalry, weapons that could cut through iron like mud, and the highly destructive firearms that had appeared several times, Lu Chengzhi led so many people, but was completely wiped out in one round, and Lu Chengzhi, who was protected in the middle, was the first to die. This strange lethality was really something that people could not help but be afraid of.

Lu Ling was not so sure anymore.

"The corpse puppet I sent to investigate hasn't returned, and no one has come to kill me."

It is not surprising that the corpse puppet was captured by the people from the princess's mansion. Xuan Yang was poisoned and unconscious, so it was naturally impossible for them to send someone to kill him.

Everything seems so reasonable, so reasonable that it makes people feel uneasy.

The incident happened suddenly. When His Majesty fell, the court was instantly in chaos. However, in such a chaotic situation, there were only two places that were unusually calm, so calm that it was frightening.

One is for His Majesty's bedroom, and the other is for the princess's residence.

Everything was guarded so tightly that no one could get in. And what a coincidence, both the princess and His Majesty were poisoned and fell into a coma.

Xiao Jingzhao was feeling uneasy: "If this situation continues to stalemate, it will be the most disadvantageous to me. We must end this quickly. Xiao Jingyun's life story has already been spread, and I can't care about so much anymore."

Lu Ling thought about it and volunteered, "Leave the Princess's Mansion to me. If she doesn't move, that's fine. If she does, I'll do my best to hold her back. As long as you seize the throne and determine the outcome, dealing with her will be much easier."

Xiao Jingzhao nodded solemnly: "It can only be done this way."

On the seventh day of the emperor's coma, news about the emperor's unusual life experience spread. It turned out that the emperor was just a child born of adultery by a palace maid and was not the blood of the previous emperor at all.

This move was naturally a big blow to Prime Minister Wang, Grand Tutor Feng and others. The emperor was about to die, and his background had little impact on him, but it could directly affect whether the eldest prince could become the new emperor.

They tried their best to suppress it, saying it was a rumor and a fabricated fabrication. A group of civil officials argued about it until their faces turned red and their necks became thick.

However, King Ping of Yan directly led his men to dig out the young body under the sycamore tree in the imperial garden. The child was wearing the clothes of a prince and had a safety lock engraved with the words "Jing Yun".

The empress dowager collapsed on the spot and directly confirmed the emperor's background.
