1828 Suspicion, even the Yama Palace dares to be demolished

The more powerful a man is, the more suspicious and jealous he is. Prince Duan didn't believe that Feng Qingchen saving his son was a coincidence.

"Keep watching her. I want to know everything she did during her stay in Xiling." Prince Duan looked unhappy when he heard the report from his subordinates.

Why, the person who saved his son was Feng Qingchen!

If someone else had saved his son, he might not have thought much about it, but the one who saved his son was the woman of the Ninth Prince of Dongling.

This favor is not easy to repay.

The Ninth Prince was an ambitious man, and Prince Duan knew this very well. Because he knew this, he did not believe that all this was just a coincidence. Sometimes too many coincidences were suspicious in themselves.

Prince Duan did not sleep all night, and he was still in good spirits the next day, except that there were a few bloodshot eyes.

After breakfast, Prince Duan and Feng Qingchen came to the flower hall at the same time. Prince Duan kept his eyes on the little dumpling, hoping that the little dumpling could respond.

But Xiaotuanzi didn't even look at him. Even when Feng Qingchen patiently told Xiaotuanzi that this man was his father, Xiaotuanzi remained expressionless.

"Don't force him... I know he is blaming me." Being ignored by his own son, Prince Duan's heart was bleeding, but he couldn't bear to blame his son, because all this was caused by him. If it weren't for his negligence, his son would not have been kidnapped.

Early this morning, Prince Duan received news from his subordinates that if his son had not met Feng Qingchen, who came to Xiling to rescue Feng Jin, he would now be a dead body, and might even have been cut into pieces by those people and thrown into the corpse pit.

Whenever he thought of this, Prince Duan felt heartbroken. Even though he still doubted Feng Qingchen's motives for saving people, Prince Duan was still grateful to her.

After many inquiries, it was confirmed that Feng Qingchen's rescue was a coincidence. Prince Duan did not want to speak harshly to him, but only tactfully asked how Feng Qingchen hoped he would repay the favor.

A favor? It was indeed a big favor.

Originally it was just to save people, but now...

Feng Qingchen looked down at the little girl in her arms, knowing that Prince Duan would be worried if she didn't put forward a condition, so she said cheerfully: "Your Highness captured a very ugly man from the Princess's Mansion yesterday. How about giving him to me?"

"What do you want that man to do?" Prince Duan already knew the identity of the ugly man, and he asked at this time just to see whether Feng Qingchen was honest.

"I heard that he has extraordinary medical skills, and I want to learn a thing or two from him." Just say enough. Saying too much will make people think too much. Feng Qingchen has been with the Ninth Prince for a long time and is well aware of this.

As expected, Prince Duan did not ask any more questions, but instead said: "I heard that Miss Feng's guard was imprisoned in the Imperial Guard. I wonder if you want me to help him with that." He owed Feng Qingchen a huge favor, and being just a doctor in the Hundred Ghosts Palace was not enough to repay him.

"No need for that. I feel at ease knowing they stay in the Imperial Guard." Prince Duan clearly wanted to repay the favor, but Feng Qingchen refused to let him.

In Xiling, only the emperor could mobilize the Jinyiwei. Although the Jinyiwei arrested her people, it was the eldest princess's work, but it must have been approved by the Xiling emperor. Her people were in the Jinyiwei prison, eating and drinking well, why did she take them out? If she took them out, it would only make people wary.

Dealing with smart people is never an easy task. After several attempts by Prince Duan, he was rejected by Feng Qingchen. He had no choice but to say to Feng Qingchen: "In Xiling, I will never refuse anything that I can help with."

He was only returning this favor in Xiling, within his ability, Feng Qingchen was not greedy, and readily agreed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not be polite."

Before the two of them finished talking, someone from the palace came to announce that Prince Duan was coming in. The two were not surprised, but before leaving, Feng Qingchen smiled and reminded them, "Your Highness, Prince Duan's Mansion is pretty good, Feng Jin and I both like it very much.

Prince Duan looked at Feng Qingchen deeply, his five features as sharp as a knife were unusually fierce. Just as he was about to say something, he found that the little ball in Feng Qingchen's arms trembled. Prince Duan nodded with gritted teeth: "In Xiling, I have to protect someone, and no one dares to touch him." Even if it was the eldest princess's son, he could keep him if he wanted, but the price would be a little higher.

Feng Qingchen nodded with a smile, which made Prince Duan very angry.

"What kind of vision does the Ninth Prince of Dongling have to fall in love with such a woman? She is not suitable for the family at all." Prince Duan was very angry after suffering several losses at the hands of Feng Qingchen. But his son was in the hands of someone else, so Prince Duan could not vent his anger on Feng Qingchen. He could only enter the palace with anger and vent it on the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor." Prince Duan knelt straight down, with a cold and murderous aura but no respect at all. The emperor seemed dissatisfied, but still called out, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Prince Duan stood up nonchalantly, and stood aside with his head bowed. He did not say a word, nor did he look up. He carefully fulfilled his duty as a subject, provided that he ignored the murderous aura on him.

The emperor frowned and said, "Fifth brother, last night the third sister came to the palace and said that you smashed her princess's house. What is going on?"

"In reply to the emperor, the princess is wrong. It was not me who destroyed her princess's mansion. It was she who kidnapped my son. I was just looking for my son. My son..."

When Prince Duan talked about the little dumpling, his nose felt sore. No matter what the emperor thought, he let the tears flow in front of the emperor.

The eldest princess will cry, and so will he... The eldest princess' tears are worthless, but his tears are more valuable than a hundred thousand soldiers.

Prince Duan let his tears blur his eyes. He looked up at the emperor with a sad face and choked up, saying, "Your Majesty, I only have Xiao Rui'er as my son. I have nothing else to ask for except that Xiao Rui'er grows up safely. But even this small request is a luxury."

"Fifth brother..." The emperor's voice trembled. He had never seen Prince Duan cry. Even when Prince Duan was scolded by the late emperor, Prince Duan never shed a tear. Seeing Prince Duan in tears at this moment, the emperor felt extremely guilty. He stood up and wanted to go down to help Prince Duan, but after thinking about it, he held back.

Prince Duan pretended not to hear and continued, "Your Majesty, for so many years, I have been loyal to my duties. No matter how Tianlei, Tianyu, and the eldest princess fought, I never interfered. I was only loyal to Your Majesty and only obeyed Your Majesty's orders. I never thought that one day my son would be involved in the struggle for imperial power and would be ruined because of their ambitions..."

"Your Majesty, you don't see what my son looks like now. He was such a smart child, but now he is like a puppet, dumb, unable to speak, and his eyes don't move when he looks at people. When I get close to him, little Rui'er is so scared that his whole body trembles and he screams. Your Majesty... that is my only son." Prince Duan cried bitterly when he was sad...

If Prince Duan had been showing off before, he was truly sad and upset now. No matter what he did now, no matter how he avenged the people who hurt his son, little Rui'er was ruined...
