865 Fight, the fight between princes

As death was approaching, Tong Yao, Chun Hui and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they closed their eyes waiting to die. However, they did not wait for death, but instead waited for this life-saving cry.

Tong Yao and the others opened their eyes quickly and saw the Crown Prince walking towards them like a savior. Their legs went weak and they knelt down, choking with sobs as they said, "Your Highness, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

There has never been a moment like this, thanking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for coming. Su Wenqing also breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down with a look of relief.

He knew it, he knew that the Ninth Prince would make arrangements. How could the Ninth Prince leave Feng Qingchen alone? Although the prince came a little late, it was better than not coming at all.

There were a lot of people, and they were very mixed. The prince still spotted Su Wenqing at a glance and nodded to Su Wenqing. The prince hurried towards the Feng Mansion Ancestral Hall. As far as he could see, the servants of the Feng Mansion were in a miserable state, and there was not a single decent place in the entire Feng Mansion.

The prince frowned, and when he saw that the Blood-Clothed Guard did not greet him, the prince became even more dissatisfied.

It is true that the Blood-Clothed Guards are only responsible to the Emperor, but don't forget that he is the Crown Prince, the heir to the throne. Even if he is no longer favored by the Emperor, as long as he is the Crown Prince, everyone in Dongling will treat him as the future Emperor.

"The Blood-Clothed Guards are so pretentious that they still don't greet me when they see me." The prince scolded, and the Blood-Clothed Guards finally realized that although they were dissatisfied with the prince and did not take him seriously, they could not make mistakes in superficial etiquette.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The Blood-Clothed Guard knelt on one knee and only gave a half-salute.

Although the prince was dissatisfied, he did not say much. He just kept silent for a long time and looked at the Blood-Clothed Guards coldly, leaving these hundred people kneeling. The Blood-Clothed Guards became even more dissatisfied. If they were not afraid of impeachment by the censor and that Dongling Ziluo would be in trouble, they would have ignored the prince long ago.

The prince knew what the Blood Robe Guards were thinking. It must be said that he was very sad that he had reached this point. He suppressed the bitterness in his heart, maintained his only pride, and waved his hand: "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The sparse voices did not hide their dissatisfaction. The prince knew it but could only endure it. As a prince, he disdained and could not argue with these small people. The prince directly ordered: "Go and invite His Highness Prince Luo. I want to see him."

As long as he was still the crown prince, he was nominally the second most noble person in Dongling. Even if he was no longer favored, it would be Dongling Ziluo who came to see him, not him who went to see Dongling Ziluo.

This is the difference in status, and this is why Dongling Ziluo deliberately wants to depose him as the crown prince and take the throne of the crown prince.

As the queen's legitimate son, Dong Ling Zi Luo would not push the crown prince down, and the crown prince would not let him go even if he ascended the throne. The legitimate son has the right to inherit the family business. Among all the brothers, except the crown prince, Dong Ling Zi Luo is the most legitimate one. In this case, Dong Ling Zi Luo has to fight for it whether he wants to or not.

Since birth, Dong Ling Zi Luo was destined to be at odds with the Crown Prince, so when Dong Ling Zi Luo heard the Blood-Robed Guards report that the Crown Prince had arrived and wanted to see him, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes...

The prince was blocking his way again!

As long as the crown prince has not been deposed, Dongling Ziluo must pay his respects to the crown prince whenever he sees him, no matter whether he is willing or not, and no matter how much power he holds.

Prince Yong and Prince Zhou were just here to make up the numbers. Although they were allied with Dongling Ziluo, they didn't mind watching him fight with the Crown Prince.

The legitimate sons have all fought to death, so they still have a chance. As long as they are the emperor's sons, they will be qualified to compete for that position.

The four brothers were speaking hypocritical words to each other. Dong Ling Zi Luo was tough in his words and deeds, and people who didn't know him would think he was the prince.

If it were any other time, the prince would definitely take a step back to save his own face, but today, for some reason, facing the aggressive Dong Ling Zi Luo, the prince, although gentle, refused to retreat even a single step.

One uses power to oppress others, the other uses status to oppress others, neither is inferior to the other. Prince Yong and Prince Zhou smiled at each other and exchanged looks that showed they understood each other.

The prince is so strong, he must have received the promise of the Ninth Prince's uncle. If the Ninth Prince's uncle had not promised the prince something, how could the prince choose to come to Feng Mansion today and meddle in the affairs of the Wang family? Isn't this obviously going against the emperor?

Their eyes met and sparks flew. The prince and Dongling Ziluo refused to give in. They fought back and forth, and murderous intent gradually arose.

Dong Ling Zi Luo insisted on searching Feng Mansion and finding Wang Jinling, but the prince did not allow it and asked Dong Ling Zi Luo to wait for Feng Qingchen to come to the rescue. He also accused Dong Ling Zi Luo of condoning his subordinates to commit crimes and abusing loyal officials, which chilled the hearts of the soldiers.

The Wang family's affairs were a contest between the Emperor and the Ninth Uncle, and now it is also a contest between Dongling Ziluo and the Crown Prince. To put it bluntly, neither of them can afford to lose.

If Dongling Ziluo loses, he will leave an impression of incompetence on the emperor. As a prince, if you are branded as incompetent, can you still compete for the throne?

If the prince loses, not only will he severely offend his father, but he will also lose his powerful uncle, the Ninth Prince. Without the help of the Ninth Prince, how long can the prince stay in the position of prince?

This is the struggle for imperial power. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Prince Yong and Prince Zhou were struggling, hesitating whether to step forward and lend a helping hand to Dongling Ziluo.

The two hesitated for a long time and finally nodded. If Dongling Ziluo lost, they would not be able to escape the responsibility.

So, the original one-on-one situation became three-on-one. Before, the prince relied on his status and the masters he brought with him to barely suppress Dongling Ziluo. But once Prince Yong and Prince Zhou joined in, the prince became weak. In addition, the prince's heart was not in good condition and he could not get excited, so he soon fell into a disadvantage.

Su Wenqing saw it all and was anxious, but such a fight between princes was not something a commoner like him could join. Su Wenqing scratched his head and cheek, and finally thought of someone.

The prince has arrived, and it is absolutely reasonable for Xiling Tianyu to come out to meet him. With an outsider like Xiling Tianyu present, the four princes cannot ignore the face of the Dongling royal family and quarrel in front of outsiders.

Su Wenqing quickly signaled the servants of Feng Mansion to quietly invite Xiling Tianyu and tell Xiling Tianyu what happened here.

Dong Ling Zi Luo and the Blood-Clothed Guards had their backs to Su Wenqing. He did not see Su Wenqing's little movement, but the prince did, and a hint of appreciation flashed in the prince's eyes.

Seeing that the Crown Prince was stalling for time and nagging the Blood Robe Guards for their mistakes, Dong Ling Zi Luo also got angry and said, "Your Highness, I respect you as the Crown Prince, but that doesn't mean you can use your status to interfere with my work. This is my job, and I will do it well. Whether it is right or wrong will be decided by my father.

The Blood-Robed Guards are my subordinates. They came to Feng Mansion to search for people under my orders. Even though Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, you have no right to stop them. The Blood-Robed Guards only obey the Emperor's orders. If Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to stop the Blood-Robed Guards from doing their work again, I will not be polite."

Dong Lingzi's words and deeds clearly showed that he did not take the prince seriously...
