513 This King is Very Unhappy, the Consequences Are Serious

Under the careful treatment of the imperial physician, Ye Ye's condition got better and better. After half an hour, Ye Ye had the energy to deal with the prince and others.

Although there is no clear evidence of Su Wan's encounter with the python, we can roughly guess what happened through the guards' confessions. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Feng Qingchen, and at most Feng Qingchen was lucky.

From Su Wan's words, we can infer that the python appeared in the hunting area, and Ye Ye and Su Wan were involved. But now both of them were in trouble because of the python, and there is no way to investigate this matter. They just have to insist that it was not them and that they were framed.

Mr. Yuan Xi had wisely avoided it long ago, but Xiling Tianlei and Dongling Ziluo could not avoid it, so they had to accompany the prince to deal with the follow-up matters.

Ye Ye was very sensible. As soon as the prince opened his mouth, Ye Ye took the initiative to take over. He first strongly condemned the zoo for being unsafe. Dong Ling had an unshirkable responsibility for what happened during the competition.

This was not wrong. Even if it was a trap set by Ye Ye, it was because Dongling’s defense was not well done, allowing outsiders to take advantage of the opportunity. The prince had nothing to say.

Then, Ye Ye changed the subject and hinted that this was an accident. Fortunately, the prince treated them in time, and neither he nor Su Wan were in danger of life. So he let the matter go and would not pursue it.

Although they could all guess that Ye Ye and Su Wan were in the wrong in this matter, if they really investigated further, it would not just be Ye Ye and Su Wan who would be in trouble. The prince adhered to the principle of not causing trouble and keeping the peace, and Feng Qingchen was not in trouble, so when Ye Ye said this, he immediately agreed and classified the incident as an accident, saying that Su Wan had accidentally provoked the python.

Dong Ling Zi Luo stood aside and sighed secretly, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart. Ye Ye gave in so readily. As the prince of Dong Ling, even if he didn't fight for any benefits for Feng Qingchen, he had to fight for some benefits for Dong Ling.

Even if they are in the wrong, they have to act confidently so that they can suppress Ye Ye, instead of letting Ye Ye guide the conversation and lead them.

Sure enough, after Ye Ye and the prince had a discussion about the python, Ye Ye brought up Feng Qingchen again: "Your Highness, Su Wan and I will not pursue the matter of the python, but Feng Qingchen was disrespectful to my cousin Su Wan and beat her in public, so we can't just let it go."

"What do you mean, Young Master Ye?" The prince frowned, regretting that he had agreed so readily. However, a gentleman's word is his bond, and the words have been spoken. Even if he wanted to overthrow Ye Ye, he would not agree.

Ye Ye leaned against the head of the bed, showing a sinister smile, and said sarcastically: "Your Highness, Feng Qingchen beat my cousin in public. Don't you think that our Yecheng and Su family will be cowards and just admit it, as if nothing happened? Who do you think Yecheng and Su family are in Dongling? You beat them up and scold them as you please?"

"Feng Qingchen was trying to save Miss Su Wan at that time, and Miss Su Wan was possessed by a demon." The prince frowned in dissatisfaction and evaded the question.

Ye Ye snorted coldly: "Your Highness, this may be enough to fool those fools, but do you think I will believe it? Regardless of Feng Qingchen's original intention, it is a fact that she slapped the daughter of the Nanling Su family in public. If this matter is not redeemed, how can the Su family keep its reputation?

Your Highness, for the sake of the Su family's reputation, I must get this back. Of course, for the sake of your Highness, I won't go too far. As long as Feng Qingchen kneels in front of my cousin in front of everyone in the world, I will let my cousin fight back."

The prince was silent and didn't say anything. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. Dong Ling Zi Luo was so angry that he couldn't help but jump out and said, "Ye Ye, don't go too far. Do you really think that if you don't investigate the matter of the python appearing in the zoo, no one will be able to find out the truth of the matter?"

"Okay, if His Royal Highness Prince Luo wants, then go ahead and check it out. I'm not afraid. Don't forget that this is the Dongling Palace. Even if I want to do something, I don't have the ability to do it." Ye Ye silently spit out two words to Dongling Zi Luo, a gloating smile appearing on his pale face.

Dong Ling Ziluo's face changed immediately, he couldn't believe what he saw.

The two words Ye Ye just said were "Queen". These two words were like a tight hoop that blocked all the words that Dong Ling Zi Luo was going to say next.

Queen, if the investigation leads to his mother, the consequences will be...

Colluding with Nanling is treason.

Dong Ling Zi Luo's palms were cold. He couldn't believe that his mother actually cooperated with Ye Ye and Su Wan in order to get rid of Feng Qingchen.

"Hahaha..." The silence of the prince and Dong Ling Zi Luo's fear made Ye Ye in a good mood: "Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Luo, what do you think? My request is not excessive, right? Feng Qingchen is just an orphan. Letting her kneel in front of my cousin is giving her face."

"I need to think about this matter again." The prince did not make a final decision. He still needed to test the opinions of the Ninth Uncle and the Emperor on this matter. Since it concerned Feng Qingchen, he could not be careless.

Besides, looking at Dong Ling Zi Luo's expression, the prince also knew that if he continued to investigate the matter, he might gain other benefits. He also had to think carefully about whether he could gain greater benefits by continuing to investigate the matter of the python.

"Consider? What are you considering, Prince? It's just a slap. I don't want Feng Qingchen's life. Could it be that Your Highness wants to investigate the matter of the Beast Garden?

Hehe, if you insist on investigating, that's not impossible, but the consequences are not something you and I can bear, and it won't be something that can be solved by asking Feng Qingchen to kneel down and kowtow. "

Ye Ye hinted that the prince did not have enough power in the palace, and that his plan to profit from this incident might not work.

“Young Master Ye, I am answering you on behalf of the Crown Prince. There is no need to consider this matter. Even if you and Su Wan kneel before Feng Qingchen in public and kowtow to apologize, I will not agree to give up. I will get to the bottom of this matter.” The Ninth Prince strode in, followed by a team of horses.

"Ninth Uncle?"

"Uncle? Why are you here?"

…

The Crown Prince, Dongling Ziluo and Xiling Tianlei stood up quickly. Ye Ye was also stunned and sat up straight involuntarily. The four of them looked at each other, as if they could not accept the fact that the Ninth Prince had appeared. Ye Ye and the Crown Prince were even more flustered, with flickering eyes.

"What do you mean, Prince? I can't come?... If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you, Prince, are so weak. A mere son of a city lord can threaten you. Well, well, this is my good prince of Dongling. You really bring honor to Dongling." The Ninth Prince looked at the prince with cold eyes without a trace of emotion.

The prince felt like he had fallen into an icy cave, his whole body shivering: "Uncle, no, no..." He didn't expect that his uncle would suddenly appear. If he knew, he would definitely reject Ye Ye's proposal without hesitation and would definitely stand on Feng Qingchen's side regardless of everything.

"No, not what? Prince, you really disappoint your uncle. The prince of Dongling may not be in good health, but if he doesn't even have the aura, he is not worthy of sitting on the prince's seat."

This was the first time that the Ninth Prince expressed his dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince in public. It was also a warning that from today on, the Ninth Prince would no longer support the Crown Prince. Whether the Crown Prince could keep his position firmly would depend on his own ability...
