Prince Pingnan: "!!!!!!!"
He had never been confronted like this before.
He roared, "How dare you!"
Lin Xiuyan gestured for him to be quiet: "Reason doesn't lie in raising your voice. Isn't what I said the truth?"
“If Father was not born of a woman, but of a man, then I will apologize to Father.”
The Prince of Pingnan once again felt that going to the Lin family to propose marriage and marry Lin Xiuyan was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life.
He should have known long ago that the woman his rebellious son Ye Junfei had taken a liking to would be no pushover.
He said coldly, "First you forced your way into the Council of State, and then you talked back and were unfilial."
"Guards, drag the Crown Princess away and give her twenty lashes."
The guards at the door responded and rushed in to pull Lin Xiuyan away, but Ye Junfei kicked them all away.
The Prince of Pingnan looked coldly at Ye Junfei and said, "Are you planning a rebellion?"
Ye Junfei looked at him with a smile: "Father, calm down. I think Xiuyan's words make a lot of sense."
"After all, the princess not only served in the Hall of State Affairs, but the Hu family also controlled half of Liefeng Prefecture."
"If Father wants to punish someone, he should punish the Queen first!"
The Prince of Pingnan said coldly, "What does she have to compare with the Princess Consort?"
Ye Junfei replied, "First of all, they are all women; secondly, they are all women of the person in charge of the Political Affairs Hall."
"If your father allows your woman to enter the Council of State, why can't I bring my woman into the Council of State?"
The Prince of Pingnan was speechless when asked the question.
After all, when the Prince of Pingnan first came to power, in order to make the Hu family serve him, he also brought the Princess of Pingnan into the Hall of State Affairs.
Once he had control of the entire Liefeng Prefecture, he had the Princess of Pingnan manage the affairs of the Prince's residence and withdrew from the Hall of State Affairs.
His expression changed several times before he said, "You are not the Prince of Pingnan yet!"
Ye Junfei smiled slightly: "It's alright, I'll just accept it if you die."
Prince Pingnan: "..."
Prince Pingnan: "!!!!!!!"
His facial muscles twitched with rage: "You unfilial son!"
Ye Junfei was delighted to see him angry: "If the father is not kind, the son will be unfilial."
"Father, you forbade Ye Jingxian to bring men to kill me a couple of days ago. You're so eager for me to die, so why can't I be eager for you to die?"
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He was in the wrong, and he couldn't bring himself to back down in the face of Ye Junfei's accusations.
He pointed at Ye Junfei and said, "How could I possibly hand over Liefeng Prefecture to you in this state?"
Ye Junfei smiled gently: "I know you want to depose me every day. You can petition the court to depose me!"
He had previously worried that the emperor might agree to the Prince of Pingnan deposing his heir, but after learning the Prince of Pingnan's secret today, he knew that this was impossible.
The more the Prince of Pingnan tries to depose him, the less likely the Emperor will agree. His position as heir apparent is now very secure!
The Prince of Pingnan was so angry that his hands were trembling. He deeply regretted sending him to the capital as a hostage back then.
Seeing his expression, Ye Junfei smiled slightly and said, "If Father has nothing else, I will go back to my room to rest."
"I'm injured and I've been looking at case files all day, so I'm really tired."
Prince Pingnan: "..."
He couldn't tell that Ye Junfei was tired, but he could sense Ye Junfei's provocation.
Ye Junfei ignored him, grabbed Lin Xiuyan's hand, and strode towards the exit of the Political Affairs Hall.
The Prince of Pingnan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll cripple you sooner or later!"
Ye Junfei raised an eyebrow and said, "Then Father will have to step up his efforts, after all, crippling me is no easy task."
After they left, Prince Pingnan glanced at the files in the government office.
After Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan finished reading the files, they put the things back in their original places.
In this way, the Prince of Pingnan had no idea what they had seen or what things they shouldn't have known.
However, the Prince of Pingnan was well aware of Ye Junfei's abilities. The fact that Ye Junfei dared to speak to him so arrogantly today meant that he must have known something.
The Prince of Pingnan sighed deeply, his feelings quite complicated.
From the perspective of the long-term development of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, Ye Junfei is definitely the most suitable successor.
But he really couldn't like Ye Junfei's personality.
After Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei left, she said softly, "He was clearly furious just now, but why wasn't he so angry afterwards?"
Ye Junfei replied, "His initial angry demeanor was just for show."
"When he seemed less angry later on, he was actually even angrier."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She realized that Ye Junfei and the Prince of Pingnan understood each other very well.
It's impossible for the Prince of Pingnan to relinquish his position to Ye Junfei, so if Ye Junfei wants to become the Prince of Pingnan, he will most likely have to kill the Prince of Pingnan.
However, the Prince of Pingnan could not be killed by Ye Junfei himself, because if he did, the emperor would use this incident to punish Ye Junfei.
At the same time, Ye Junfei will be ostracized by the officials of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion because of the crime of patricide, which will give him more control over the Pingnan Prince's Mansion in the future.
Lin Xiuyan squeezed Ye Junfei's hand and said, "Your Highness, I feel your future is worrying!"
Ye Junfei squeezed her hand back and said, "Don't worry, Princess Consort, I will definitely give you a bright future."
Lin Xiuyan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, but she felt a little helpless.
Despite his anger, the Prince of Pingnan did not forget Ye Jingxian's sorrow.
That very evening, the Prince of Pingnan took 100,000 taels of silver to the Medical Sage and asked him to treat Ye Jingxian's leg.
At the same time, the Prince of Pingnan ordered all of Gu Yiyi's belongings to be packed up and brought to the Sage of Medicine's guest room.
The medical sage didn't look at the 100,000 taels of silver, but stared blankly at Gu Yiyi's belongings.
The Prince of Pingnan looked at the Sage of Medicine and said, "I have fulfilled all your requests. Now, can you treat Xian'er's leg?"
The medical sage regained his composure and said calmly, "I have been working hard all day, and seeing the belongings of an old friend has made me not only physically tired, but also mentally exhausted."
"I'm not in good condition, which will greatly reduce my medical skills."
“If you’re not afraid that I might misset his bones, I can set them right now.”
"If you're scared, then you can take it tomorrow!"
Having said all that, how could the Prince of Pingnan dare to let him begin treatment at this moment?
The Prince of Pingnan glanced at him and said, "In that case, I will come again tomorrow."
The Sage of Medicine nodded. As the Prince of Pingnan turned to leave, the Sage of Medicine asked, "Do you have any sincerity towards Yiyi?"
The Prince of Pingnan paused, recalling the woman who was as radiant and vibrant as a summer flower, and his feelings became complicated.
It took him a while to say, "She has a very strong personality. Xiu'er and Qingwan are too much like her."
His answer was somewhat irrelevant, and his voice betrayed a hint of suppressed emotion.
