"Mother, it's not too late to deal with that bastard. We didn't take him seriously before. Now that he's hiding so deeply, we absolutely cannot allow this scourge to remain with us!"

Ye Feiyu had already been extremely resentful of Jing Chen because he had been beaten to the point of being bedridden by him in front of so many people. He had lost such a huge amount of face, and now he just wanted to vent his anger as soon as possible.

Lan Xianxian said, "Your father has been wary of your maternal grandparents, but he has not taken any action to suppress them because of his concerns. However, your father is a thoughtful person. You think he didn't see through your performance just now, but he just didn't expose it!"

Ye Feiyu said anxiously, "My Queen Mother is saying that my father is wary of us? What should I do? If I don't get my father's approval, it will be very difficult for me to take the throne in the future!"

"Shut up!" Lan Xianxian shouted in a deep voice.

Ye Feiyu was scolded by Lan Xianxian and dared not say a word.

Seeing this, Lan Xianxian sighed and said, "Fei Yu, there are some things you should understand that cannot be said in any occasion. Aren't you worried that what you said would reach your father's ears?"

Ye Feiyu said: "Mother, I remember this. I said such words in a hurry just now. I won't do it again next time."

Lan Xianxian nodded and said, "Fei Yu, your father is now in his prime, and we have plenty of time to plan. However, during this time, you must behave in a way that satisfies your father. Only if you can't find any fault with him will the officials in the court be satisfied with you.

Your grandfather has been secretly helping you build connections, so you also need to be strong enough to make others willing to stand on your side, do you understand? "

"I understand, son!" Ye Feiyu nodded.

…

After the emperor came out of Ye Feiyu's bedroom, he was about to go back to the imperial study, but he took a different turn...

"Your Majesty, are you going to Chaoyang Palace?" An Dehai asked cautiously.

The emperor nodded.

At this moment, Jing Chen was sitting in the small garden of his palace, with his head down, thinking about something, holding a teacup in his hand, which was no longer hot.

Ye Feng, who was standing behind him, saw this and said, "Master, the tea is cold. Let me pour you another cup."

Jing Chen came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, raised the teacup, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"Give orders to the people in the building to strengthen their training, and let Yeying be responsible for the pill business and cast a wider net." Jing Chen ordered.

Ye Feng looked at his master in surprise, then clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Master, I'll arrange it right away."

As Ye Feng walked to the door, he saw the young eunuch guarding the door hurriedly walk in.

"Third Prince, the Emperor is here!"

Ye Feng looked back at Jing Chen...

Jing Chen said: "Go and do your thing!"

Ye Feng nodded.

After a while, the emperor came in with An Dehai.

"An Dehai pays his respects to the Third Prince."

"Okay, go down now. Chen'er and I have something to talk about!" said the emperor.

"yes!"

After everyone left, for a moment, only the father and son were left in the room. The emperor sat directly opposite Jingchen and poured himself a cup of tea.

"You are quite capable, kid. You injured your elder brother internally with just one punch. When did you become so powerful?" Ye Fenglan looked at his son for a moment and asked.

"What? Are you feeling sad?" Jing Chen said lightly.

"Hey! Father is not here to blame you. I know that it was your eldest brother who provoked me first. You are my son, and I don't know your personality and temper?" Ye Fenglan said slowly.

Jing Chen didn't say anything, just lowered his head and remained silent.

"Chen'er, can you...can you please not let go of the grudge in your heart and get along with your father like a real father and son?" Ye Fenglan asked with some anticipation in his eyes.

Jing Chen looked up at Ye Fenglan for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Fenglan's eyes gradually dimmed, and he sighed: "Forget it, I will suppress today's matter, but you have to be more careful about that old fox Prime Minister Lan."

Jing Chen nodded lightly.

Ye Fenglan continued, "You can see the ambitions of the Prime Minister's Mansion now, and the Prime Minister has an army of 100,000 men under his command, so I have to be on guard."

Jing Chen said: "I don't care how you handle it, anyway, I don't want this matter to be detrimental to the Su family."

Ye Fenglan smiled bitterly and said, "Your maternal grandfather's family is loyal to our Ye royal family. How could I possibly implicate them? Also, the 100,000-man army in your maternal grandfather's hands has been handed over to my father, and the token is also in my hands."

Jing Chen was a little surprised, as he had never heard his grandfather tell him about this.

Ye Fenglan said, "Chen'er, don't you want to join the army for some experience? How about Father give you this token?"

Jing Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will rebel? Overthrow your throne?"

Ye Fenglan laughed heartily and said, "Don't I know what kind of person you are, kid? If you really want to be the emperor, shouldn't you please our father? Why do you keep giving me this sour face all day long?"

Jing Chen said: "I don't care about your throne, whoever wants to sit on it can sit on it!"

"You little brat! What nonsense are you talking about? This Dragon Soul Kingdom was conquered by our ancestors. If it is taken away by others, how can I face our ancestors in the underworld?" Ye Fenglan said with a fierce face.

"Don't forget, the Su family also deserves one-third of the credit for our Ye family being able to sit on the throne!" Jing Chen said.

Ye Fenglan sighed, "You are right. When the ancestors of the Ye, Su, and Lan families jointly established the vast foundation of the Dragon Soul Kingdom, the three of them were as close as brothers, and their relationship was so good that they wore the same pants. In the end, the ancestors of the Su and Lan families tried their best to push our Ye family's ancestor to sit on the throne. Our ancestor was very moved and gave each family an army of 100,000 people to show his trust in them.

The Dragon Soul Nation was just starting out, and development was quite difficult! It was only because the ancestors of the Su and Lan families devotedly assisted the ancestors of the Ye family that the Dragon Soul Nation was established today! Therefore, the status of the two families has always been second to none.

But now, times have changed. The Lan family has already started plotting, and this army could become a scourge at any moment. If Father has the opportunity to take back the army's token, it would be like cutting off the Prime Minister's arm."

Jing Chen drank his tea silently, and after listening, he said, "So, you told me so much, is there a reason?"

Ye Fenglan said, "Indeed, your eldest brother listens very much to that old fox. If this position falls into his hands, it will be equivalent to that of the Lan family. So, father hopes that you will consider the overall situation. Also, your grandmother would not want to see the Ye family fall into the hands of others."

Jing Chen took a deep breath and said, "Do you want me to inherit your throne?"

Ye Fenglan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Father does have this idea, but he can't be too obvious about it. After all, if I value you, the Prime Minister might immediately retaliate. I'm worried that they will do anything to you."

Jing Chen said: "I don't want to be the emperor. You have more than just me and Ye Feiyu."

Ye Fenglan said, "I know what you mean, but your second brother is too expressive and not very shrewd. The throne is not suitable for him. Moreover, the civil and military officials will not be willing to let a prince with a facial defect become the ruler of the country."
