Chapter 223 Innocence



Shu Chengfeng boarded Yan Nangui's carriage directly.

"What does Tang'er think?" Shu Chengfeng asked.

Yan Nangui shook his head: "What use is my opinion?"

"I just want to hear it, tell me." Shu Chengfeng gently pinched her chin.

It was opened.

"What do you want to hear? Your father wants to use the fact that you have no legitimate son as an excuse to depose you?" Yan Nangui sneered: "Naive."

"Oh? How is that naive? Wouldn't others be nervous if they heard this? You, on the other hand, seem quite relaxed," Shu Chengfeng said with a smile.

"Then why aren't you nervous?" Yan Nangui leaned against him: "If you and your father were to fight each other to the point of stabbing each other in the back, wouldn't that look bad?"

Shu Chengfeng pinched her again: "Speak properly!"

"I'm not feeling well, I feel nauseous." Yan Nangui snorted, took a grape from the small table in the carriage. It had been chilled before entering the palace, and although the ice had melted, the grape was now ready to eat.

"Speak properly, I just want you to speak." Shu Chengfeng stopped her hand from giving her the food.

Yan Nangui clicked her tongue. She was in a good mood today and didn't make a fuss: "Okay, fine, I'll say it."

As she spoke, she ate a grape first: "Isn't this obvious? Can His Majesty depose the Empress?"

Shu Chengfeng laughed: "Of course not."

"He cannot depose the empress. Besides you, does he have any other legitimate sons?"

Of course not.

"If you want to depose the crown prince just because you have no legitimate son, isn't that absurd? If you are deposed as crown prince, he will have no legitimate son either, so what will happen to the throne?"

"Besides, would he dare to do that? Would the Duke of Ye and the Duke of Ning dare to trace it back to the source? Are they the legitimate sons themselves? Don't they feel ashamed? Empress Dowager Jiang is still sitting here. Doesn't he feel guilty saying such things? He keeps calling her 'Mother'. What? Does he really consider her his own mother?"

"Hahahaha..." How could Shu Chengfeng be worried about that? To put it bluntly, he just wanted to hear this woman curse indirectly.

"What are you laughing at? The most pitiful one isn't the Crown Princess." To put it bluntly, doesn't the Crown Prince have a son?

No, he has sons, but no legitimate son. That means the Crown Princess has a problem.

At least that's what the ancients must have thought.

If things really come to the point where they want to depose the crown prince, the first step would be to depose the crown princess and replace her with a new wife.

Crown Prince Shu Chengfeng is clearly very popular.

Shu Chengfeng leaned against the large cushion and shook his head: "I've spoiled you rotten."

"You want to hear the truth, and you want me to be respectful to you? Think about it yourself, isn't something a little off? If I'm always respectful to you, would I dare to tell the truth?" Yan Nangui snorted and turned to hug his waist.

Shu Chengfeng was naturally wearing a dragon robe today.

Yan Nangui gently fiddled with the jade on his belt: "No one can have it all, right? Do you expect me to be respectful to you while pretending to tell the truth at the same time? Doesn't that disgust you?"

"You're absolutely right," Shu Chengfeng said with a smile, holding her hand.

"Don't say that. Even though I talked back to you, you're the one I like the most. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't bother getting angry with you. If you look down on me because of that, then you really don't know what's good for you," Yan Nangui said coquettishly.

"...So it's my fault now?" Shu Chengfeng was speechless.

"I was wrong. I wouldn't have dared to be so angry with you the other day. I felt so bad when you left this morning. Did I hurt you?"

Although they were both in pain that night, Shu Chengfeng still persevered.

Otherwise, if a man used his full strength and went all out, how could Yan Nangui possibly get up the next day?

Although she was pinched a few times, especially on her buttocks, which inevitably left some bruises, it wasn't a big deal.

Ke Shuchengfeng's shoulder wound alone had been poked several times; how could it not hurt?

"Are you upset?" Shu Chengfeng lifted her chin, thinking to himself, "Why don't I believe you?"

Yan Nangui opened it again: "I hate it when you hook up with me like this."

...What a painful feeling.

Shu Chengfeng clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "I believe you like me, but as for the rest... tsk."

They chatted casually like this until Yan Nangui grew sleepy, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the mansion.

Shu Chengfeng suddenly came to his senses. What had she just said?

Did I hurt him?

Why does that sound so strange?

Just as they were about to press for an answer, Yunji outside had already asked them to get out of the car; they had arrived.

Shu Chengfeng held his breath and almost choked.

Today is a holiday, and with this incident, it's natural that the Crown Prince would go to the Crown Princess's place.

We need to appease them at least a little.

As for how to comfort or persuade them, nobody knows.

After Yan returned south, he ordered some food to be served, and only went to sleep after he had eaten his fill.

The next morning, when the Crown Princess paid her respects at the main courtyard, her face was a little pale.

My eyes are a little swollen, so I must have cried last night. I must have applied a lot of compresses this morning, but they're still swollen.

The Crown Princess is coming to the palace today, but the crowd didn't disperse immediately after the greetings; they still had to exchange a few words.

The Crown Princess inquired about Consort Luo's child, then about Consort Jin, and finally showed concern for Consort Xia. The meeting was about to end.

Yan Nangui suddenly said, "That's the only bad thing about Your Majesty."

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Some people thought, "That happened just yesterday, and today Lady Yan is already going up against the Crown Princess."

That's way too direct!

Yan Nangui sighed, "Your Majesty, although you are the Crown Princess, you don't need to do this. People below have their own way of life. You are taking care of everything, big and small, which is why you are getting weak."

The Crown Princess changed her mind, knowing in her heart that Yan was doing this on purpose.

"It's not all my fault. Alas, I've already failed in my duty by not being able to give the Crown Prince a legitimate child..."

"It's all because you've been working too hard. You must take good care of your health in the future. Besides, His Majesty was just saying it on a whim yesterday. His Highness is still young, and you are even younger. You'll have it sooner or later. You are the daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, born into a noble family. You must not compromise yourself just because His Majesty was concerned about His Highness for a moment."

"It was ultimately my fault, Sister Yan, please don't just make excuses for me," the Crown Princess sighed.

"How can this be considered an excuse? Your Highness, please don't belittle yourself. No matter what, you are the Crown Princess. I will always stand by your side. Who can replace you? I'm sure the Empress is trying to comfort you today."

Ye Liangdi couldn't hold back any longer: "Yan Shi, you can empathize like this because you yourself can't give birth?"

Good heavens, he stabbed himself with a knife, he really doesn't even spare himself!

"Consort Ye is indeed right, but only half right. I may not be able to have children, but I know about hierarchy and rules. I came into this world as a concubine, so I have no intention of becoming the principal wife. If the Crown Princess is doing well, then I'll be doing well too. Besides..."

She deliberately glanced at everyone: "The Crown Princess's Ningguo Duke's Mansion, our Yan family, and Sister Murong's Murong family, and now there's Sister Xiao's Meng Haijiang, who doesn't wish His Highness well? Does the Ye family have a different opinion?"
