Shen Feng did not speak in response.
Xue Linglong asked several times before he turned his cold gaze towards her face.
Then he said meaningfully: "Xue, the second prince has become the crown prince."
Xue Linglong was stunned for a moment when she heard this. "What did you say?"
"The Second Prince has become the Crown Prince." Chen Feng had a sarcastic smile on his face. "I heard that the Emperor was persuaded by the Queen Mother. Now, all the people in the Queen Mother's faction follow the Second Prince's lead and no longer oppose the Ling family faction."
Xue Linglong stood there in a daze.
She still remembered that in the past few months, Shen Feng had solemnly assured her that the person who would have the last laugh in the Dayong royal family would be the Queen Mother.
Whether it is the former crown prince who is now King You, or the second prince who is acting as the governor of the country, they are all just stepping stones for the Queen Mother.

"Madam, Madam, please let go."
The maids and servants guarding the gate reacted and rushed over.
Pull Xue Linglong's arm hard.
However, Xue Linglong seemed to have supernatural powers suddenly. She exerted all her strength and refused to let go no matter how the maid pulled.
"Madam, please let go. If you don't let go, someone will die—"
Bursts of exclamations echoed throughout Qifeng Courtyard.
However, Shen Feng seemed to no longer be able to hear the calls around him.
He only felt his breathing becoming more rapid and his vision starting to blur.
The fear of dying filled his heart, and subconsciously, he raised his foot and kicked out.
There was a loud "bang".
The entire Qifeng Courtyard fell completely silent.
