Hearing this, Chu Pei's heart tightened, and facing Chu Feiyang's questioning, he was speechless!
He was well aware of his son's strength. Who was Chu Nanshan? How could he raise incompetent children and grandchildren? Moreover, since Chu Nanshan had already passed the throne to Chu Feiyang, I'm afraid all the power in his hands had also been given to Chu Feiyang!
By this calculation, Chu Feiyang's strength is truly not to be underestimated. No wonder Prime Minister Wan planned to violate their agreement and instead win over Chu Feiyang! But Nan Lan was so stupid that she actually used Yun Qianmeng as a scapegoat, which angered Chu Feiyang!
However, Prime Minister Wan was also smart. He knew that Chu Feiyang was not easy to win over, so he left himself a way out and did not let anyone take action while he was unconscious. Otherwise, if something happened to him, a war between Nanxun and Xichu would surely break out. By then, let alone joining forces, they would have already become enemies!
Gradually calming down, Chu Pei looked up at Chu Feiyang, hoping that the atmosphere between father and son would ease a little, and his tone was also a little slower. "If this is accomplished, who among the people of Western Chu dares to say anything about us? By then, my father will be the emperor, and who dares to criticize him to his face? Besides..."
However, Chu Feiyang had already seen through Chu Pei's thoughts and immediately spoke out to interrupt his next words, slowly analyzing the current situation. "Besides, in order to stop the gossips of the world, father, you have always maintained a good relationship with the Wen family in Kyoto. You even let Chu Qingyang worship Wen Di as your teacher. I am afraid that this is also to prepare for the future uprising! However, I am afraid that your wishful thinking will be dashed. Although Wen Di is just a scholar, he is not a person without opinions, and he will not be led by the nose! After all, the Wen family has a queen. How could they follow you to rebel? This king advises father not to have such a beautiful dream anymore. It will be better for everyone if you stop as soon as possible!"
However, his dissuasion was only met with a cold smile from Chu Pei. His eyes, which were hiding ambition, blossomed with trust in his second son. "Qing Yang won't give up on something he has decided on so easily! I came here today hoping that you can let the Xie family go. Otherwise, between us father and son, I'm afraid..."
Chu Pei's next words gradually faded in his mouth and he didn't say them out loud. But seeing his solemn expression with a hint of hostility at this moment, one could tell that the words he didn't say out loud must be extremely cruel and ruthless!
However, Chu Feiyang was not one to be frightened. He accepted the threat from his father calmly. His slender fingers began to wander around the outer wall of the teacup again. He spoke softly with a hint of nonchalantness, "The Xie family, of course, this king will not let them go! This king has just made it clear that as long as there are people or things that threaten grandpa, this king will never stand idly by! Regardless of whether the Xie family is related to the Chu family, and regardless of whether the Xie family's previous actions were instructed by others, since they have already started this, this king will certainly not let them go! Father, you should also think about it carefully. Nan Xun is now the meat in Xi Chu's mouth. It is absolutely impossible to make Xi Chu spit him out! And that Prime Minister Wan was also defeated by Nan Yijun. Do you think there is still a chance of winning by joining forces with such a person? Even if you defeat Nan Yijun, I am afraid you will not be Xi Chu's opponent!"
Listening to Chu Feiyang's extremely accurate analysis of the situation, Chu Pei suppressed the anger in his heart but did not speak immediately!
Nanxun's current situation is indeed not optimistic. If he continues to join forces with Prime Minister Wan, he may have to be distracted by Nanxun's affairs. In this way, it is equivalent to weakening his own strength. However, if he gives up Nanxun's support, it will also invisibly weaken his own strength!
"If Prime Minister Wan had not wanted to win over the king, do you think you would have the chance to sit with the king at this moment?" Seeing the contradiction in Chu Pei's eyes, Chu Feiyang spoke again, with a hint of coldness and a bit of alienation in his tone, but because of his noble status at this time, it made people feel that they complemented each other!
When Chu Pei heard Chu Feiyang say this, he looked at him in surprise. There was a subtle anger in his dark pupils, and a hint of tension was revealed on his tense face. His brows could not help but frowned slightly. Although Chu Pei had some understanding in his heart, he still asked, "What do you want to say!"
Chu Feiyang didn't care much about Chu Pei's attitude. He poured himself some tea and then spoke again, "Father thinks he's extremely smart, but he's become a pawn in the hands of Prime Minister Wan! This time, he wants to use your awakening to threaten me! Once the outside world spreads that your antidote was given by Nanxun, what do you think Emperor Yugan will think? What will the entire court of Western Chu say? I'm afraid that as soon as you wake up, the emperor will issue an imperial decree to seal off the Chu family!"
"So you pretended to let Nie Huaiyuan make an antidote for me to take. In this way, even if Prime Minister Wan wanted to take action, he would have no chance!" He shot sharp eyes at Chu Feiyang, but found that the other party had already lowered his eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but did not open his mouth to give a positive answer!
"Father, please go back! Be it the Xie family or Prime Minister Wan, as long as they don't touch my bottom line, I will naturally not bother to deal with them! It's a pity that they think too highly of themselves, and I naturally can't sit idly by! As for you, father, if you insist on having your own way, then I will naturally not show mercy!" After he finished speaking, Chu Feiyang stood up. He revealed everything he should and shouldn't say. This was because of their father-son relationship, and also because he understood his grandfather's feelings. He didn't want to embarrass his grandfather because of their father-son relationship!
"Chu Feiyang, what if one day we, father and son, meet on the battlefield?" As Chu Feiyang stood up, Chu Pei also stood up quickly, rushing towards Chu Feiyang with a murderous look in his eyes, and his tone was also filled with hidden hostility!
But all he got was Chu Feiyang's light shake of his head. With a firm tone, he slowly uttered, "I won't give you this chance!"
After he finished speaking, Chu Feiyang walked out of the side room without even looking back!
Xi Lin quickly walked into the side room and asked Chu Pei, who was unwilling to leave, to leave!
However, when Chu Feiyang returned to the inner room, he opened the window frame, and a very faint flame suddenly emerged from his slightly raised sleeves and rushed into the inky night!
"What's so urgent?" Yun Qianmeng didn't know that it was Chu Pei who had just come. She just saw Chu Feiyang walking into the inner room with a serious expression, and sending out secret signals so quickly into the night, so she knew that something must have happened. She quickly closed the book in her hand, stood up from the bamboo couch, walked quickly to Chu Feiyang's side and asked in a low voice!
Chu Feiyang noticed that the heat outside was rushing into the inner room, so he immediately closed the window frame, put away the solemn expression on his face, turned around, took Yun Qianmeng to the table and sat down, and seemed to repeat the conversation just now unintentionally!
Yun Qianmeng's brows furrowed tightly as Chu Feiyang finished speaking. Who would have thought that Chu Pei would be so bold as to come to Nanxun secretly at such a time? If he were caught by Nan Yijun's men, I'm afraid the entire Chu family would be implicated!
The first person to be arrested would be Chu Nanshan of Kyoto. Even if he resented Chu Nanshan because of the marriage, he was his biological father after all and had never treated him unfairly. Why was he so paranoid? Was the throne so attractive that he would give up everything for supreme power?
Her beautiful eyes gradually turned to Chu Feiyang beside her. Seeing his indifferent and calm expression, Yun Qianmeng felt a slight pain in her heart. Even if there was no father-son relationship, Chu Feiyang must have felt uncomfortable with the current confrontation between the two!
Staring at him with a gentle smile, Yun Qianmeng reached out and covered Chu Feiyang's hand on the table, saying lightly, "Everything will pass!"
Hearing this, Chu Feiyang's smile grew even more intense. Turning to Yun Qianmeng, his eyes were filled with tenderness. He could see the worry and heartache hidden deep in her eyes, but Chu Feiyang said nonchalantly, "Everything will indeed pass! Tomorrow we will end the Xie family, and I will also put pressure on Nan Yijun. I believe the Nanxun incident will also be resolved as soon as possible! Without the financial support of the Xie family and the external help of Nanxun, Chu Pei will surely be severely damaged. Naturally, he will not cause any harm to Grandpa!"
Seeing Chu Feiyang's arrangement, Yun Qianmeng's heart slowly relaxed. Since he could analyze things so calmly, it meant that Chu Pei's matter did not leave a shadow in his heart!
"But, what are you going to do with father in the future?" Chu Pei naturally couldn't move, otherwise Chu Nanshan would be heartbroken! And for the ambitious Chu Pei, all these years of careful preparation were just for that throne. Now that his hopes were dashed, I wonder how Chu Feiyang would arrange for Chu Pei!
Chu Feiyang, on the other hand, grasped Yun Qianmeng's soft hand and pressed it against his lips, kissing her gently before speaking, "He has his own family and relatives, so naturally he lives with them! I can manage state affairs, but I can't interfere in other people's family affairs!"
Said so lightly, Yun Qianmeng smiled with relief. Being able to joke meant that Chu Feiyang was not affected!
But on the other side, Chu Pei was escorted back to Prime Minister Wan’s study with a gloomy face!
"What? Did you run into a wall in front of the King of Chu?" Looking at the angry Chu Pei, Prime Minister Wan spoke with a gloating tone! However, he was a little puzzled. Chu Pei was not close to such an outstanding son! If Nan Hongye had half the strength of Chu Feiyang, how could he let Nan Lanbai lose his life?
Chancellor Wan's sarcasm rang in his ears. Chu Pei instantly put away the embarrassment in his eyes and walked into the study with a proud look. Every word Chu Feiyang had just said echoed in his mind. He stared at Chancellor Wan sitting behind the desk with a sinister look and asked word by word, "Have you ever tried to destroy the reputation of the old King of Chu?"
Hearing this question, the sarcasm in Prime Minister Wan's eyes immediately disappeared. He looked at Chu Pei with a hint of surprise and said uncertainly, "You and Chu Nanshan don't have a harmonious relationship!"
