He was clearly plotting rebellion, but since everyone else was dead, the key question became whether or not to kill him.
Ultimately, Lan Xiuyuan's identity is still that of the Emperor's son.
No one should kill their own son! Otherwise, even the most enlightened ruler will only leave behind a stain on his reputation.
Just as the two sides were at an impasse, someone outside suddenly announced that they had come to turn themselves in.
Lan Shanyang glanced at him coldly: "Who is it?"
Go down and ask around.
He returned quickly and reported softly, "Your Majesty, it is Feng Zhouyuan!"
"Feng Zhouyuan?" Lan Shanyang thought for a moment, then immediately remembered that he was the advisor whom Lan Xiuyuan trusted very much.
"Didn't you say you were running away? How come you're back now? Let him in!"
"yes!"
Panoramic view: Quickly have the people below bring the person in.
Soon, Feng Zhouyuan was brought in.
When he walked in and met the gaze of the aloof Lan Shanyang, his eyes flashed sharply for a moment, then quickly dimmed again.
Stepping forward, Feng Zhouyuan knelt down and kowtowed: "This humble subject greets Your Majesty!"
Lan Shanyang looked at Feng Zhouyuan, as if she had no impression of him at all before, and this was the first time she had seen him.
"You say you're here to turn yourself in? What makes you have anything to turn yourself in?"
Before Lan Shanyang could give any instructions, Feng Zhouyuan raised his head and met Lan Shanyang's gaze without any fear.
"This humble citizen has come to surrender himself to prove that the Fifth Prince is plotting a rebellion!"
As he spoke, Feng Zhouyuan actually took out a letter from his pocket and held it up high.
Upon seeing the whole scene, he quickly ran over, picked up the letter, walked to Lan Shanyang's side, and handed it to Lan Shanyang with both hands raised high.
Lan Shanyang reached out and picked up the letter, opened it, and quickly glanced at it.
After reading it, Lan Shanyang slammed the letter on the table: "Lan Xiuyuan, you actually colluded with Tuotuo to betray your country and turn against the enemy! What do you have to say now?"
Lan Xiuyuan knew from the moment Feng Zhouyuan walked in that he had no hope left in this life.
He closed his eyes tightly, silently suppressing the pain of betrayal.
Having learned his lesson from Qin Kou'er, he can now accept whatever happens.
My life is already so broken, what more can I hope for?
Slowly raising his head to meet Lan Shanyang's eyes, Lan Xiuyuan gave a bleak smile: "Whatever Father says goes! However, before I die, there is one thing I want Qin Kou'er to ask Feng Zhouyuan, otherwise I will die with resentment!"
Lan Shanyang stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
Lan Xiuyuan no longer wanted to wait to be ordered around.
He slowly turned around while kneeling, his gaze calmer than ever before as he looked at Feng Zhouyuan behind him, and asked slowly and deeply, "Mr. Feng, I believe that Xiuyuan has not mistreated you all these years!"
"No prince!" Feng Zhouyuan said quite frankly, and his gaze towards Lan Xiuyuan showed not a trace of embarrassment as if he were betraying his master.
"I've known you for so many years, and you're definitely not the kind of person who would betray his master for personal gain, are you?"
Feng Zhouyuan looked at Lan Xiuyuan and smiled slightly, "If I were really that kind of person, even if I passed the prince's eye, I still wouldn't pass Hu Tianyong's eye! Zhouyuan isn't that kind of person?"
Lan Xiuyuan nodded: "Then may I ask you, sir, why you are trying to kill me today?"
Feng Zhouyuan looked at Lan Xiuyuan, then slowly pointed to Lan Shanyang above: "Because of him!"
Lan Xiuyuan frowned: "Xiuyuan doesn't quite understand what you mean, sir?"
Feng Zhouyuan smiled faintly and nodded: "Of course you don't understand, and I'm afraid even he doesn't understand!"
As he spoke, Feng Zhouyuan actually stood up from the ground.
This surprised not only Lan Xiuyuan, but also everyone around him.
Good heavens, is this guy crazy? How dare he stand up like this in front of Lan Shanyang? Does he not want to live anymore?
Feng Zhouyuan showed no signs of madness. Instead, he stared straight at Lan Shanyang and slowly revealed a mocking and cold smile: "Lan Shanyang! After all these years, you're still alive? Truly, a scourge lives on!"
Everyone was terrified. Lan Linxue stood up abruptly, "How dare you! Feng Zhouyuan! How dare you offend the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty? Offense?" Feng Zhouyuan revealed a cold, fierce smile: "He's your emperor! Is he still my emperor? Isn't he, you dog egg!"
Lan Shanyang was already puzzled by Feng Zhouyuan's words, but upon hearing the last three words, "dog egg," she jumped up from her chair, pointing excitedly at Feng Zhouyuan, "You, you, you..."
"Dog Egg! You never expected this, did you? I've been living right under your nose for so many years! You bastard, still pretending to be something you're not, you've still turned into an old scoundrel!"
At this moment, everyone noticed that Feng Zhouyuan's voice had changed, becoming indescribably charming and domineering!
Upon hearing this voice, Lan Shanyang's expression changed instantly. Pointing at Feng Zhouyuan, she shouted, "You bastard! It's you! You actually, you actually became someone else's damn advisor!"
After saying that, Lan Shanyang took a close look at Feng Zhouyuan, and then burst into a chilling laugh.
"Fuqiu Bai! You bastard, you're still alive? You're a thousand-year-old tortoise, a ten-thousand-year-old turtle, you've become a spirit!"
Feng Zhouyuan stared menacingly at Lan Shanyang, who was laughing loudly, and slowly reached out to remove the thin, cicada-wing-like mask from his face. To everyone's astonishment, a smooth, handsome, and dashing face was revealed.
