The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Crown Prince Huang Mingyuan's face was gloomy, and his eyes narrowed slightly after listening to his subordinate's report.
"You mean, Ye Boqi has been going to the temple to pray for blessings for seven consecutive days?"
"Yes, we go to the temple at dawn every day and return to the Marquis's residence at sunset."
Upon hearing his subordinate's words, a cold glint flashed in the Crown Prince's eyes.
After being brutally beaten by Ye Boqi at the prefectural government office that day, the crown prince understood Ye Boqi's hostility towards the royal family.
The fact that the crown prince was brutally beaten, and that he was accused of being foolish enough to believe the words of treacherous people, severely damaged his reputation.
Despite being ranked third on the Sky Ranking eight years ago, despite now possessing the strength of the sixth level of the Core Formation Realm, and despite being confident that he could instantly kill Yi Boqi with a single move.
But faced with Ye Boqi's sudden attack, he could only passively endure it.
Nothing more.
He fell into Yi Boqi's trap and was accused of gullibly believing the instigation of a villain like Leng Qiusheng.
More importantly, it was he who said that Leng Qiusheng was a spy sent by an enemy country.
Given such a foolish act, it was perfectly reasonable for Ye Boqi, as a second-class marquis of Dayang, to admonish him.
Being passively attacked is at best a foolish act.
If he retaliates, he will not only be labeled as foolish, but also as a stubborn and tyrannical ruler.
A young crown prince who is easily swayed by the words of treacherous people can still be saved, but if he is labeled as a stubborn and tyrannical ruler, his position as crown prince will be over.
Therefore, the Crown Prince endured the beating from Ye Boqi.
He knew he only suffered minor injuries, because Xiao Boqi hadn't used any spiritual power.
Emperor Chongyang would not actually allow his son to lose his position as crown prince.
They would not allow the Crown Prince to frame Marquis Shenwei, nor would they make public the fact that Marquis Shenwei was captured from the border camp and publicly flogged.
After reprimanding the crown prince to his face and confining him to his quarters, he began to appease him.
The first imperial edict arrived directly at the residence of the Marquis of Shenwei.
This is the second imperial edict of praise within three days, and its content is exactly the same as the previous one that brutally beat the sixth prince.
Prince Ye Boqi is truly a pillar of the nation. Well done! I am deeply gratified.
Within three days, Emperor Chongyang had to issue an imperial edict praising the beatings of his two sons. One can imagine how frustrated he must have felt.
Qi Shanlin once again received a large reward, but unlike last time, this time everyone in the prefectural government office received a reward.
no way.
They wanted to keep quiet and prevent the news from leaking out, which would ruin the prince's reputation.
He has to pay.
Qi Shanlin's original intention was to reward Laozi, but the news would definitely be spread.
Your disgrace is none of my business.
But Ye Boqi told him that there was no need to worry about trivial matters.
What I want is not just to ruin his reputation.
Although the matter was suppressed, one can imagine the resentment in the Crown Prince's heart.
If the Marquis of Shenwei's mansion is not completely eliminated, not only will his position as crown prince be greatly threatened, but the situation of the Dayang Dynasty's royal family will also be precarious.
Because of He Boqi, things have gotten somewhat out of control.
With his talent and the foundation of the Marquis's mansion, once he grows up, he will become the second Xi Jiusheng.
Moreover, it was the even more difficult-to-control Ye Jiusheng, so the Crown Prince decided that he could not delay any longer.
Five days later will be the triennial Sky Grand Competition.
This is a perfect opportunity to use someone else to do the dirty work.
"Did you hand the item over to Ye Chen?"
"Your Highness, Ye Chen has accepted the cultivation resources sent by Your Highness and has agreed to kill Yi Boqi during the Grand Competition."
"But after killing Ye Boqi, he requested protection from the royal family to avoid being hunted down by the suddenly rising Marquis's powerful men."
The crown prince smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"Say yes."
After he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed.
"But after he killed Ye Boqi, he should immediately attack him. There's no need to force him to be killed; just make a show of it."
"With the death of Ye Boqi, Ye Jiusheng and Dongfang Zhige will surely launch a fierce attack on Cangqiong Academy, and Liu Qianshan will definitely protect Ye Chen to the death."
"Once the two sides start fighting, we will suddenly strike and the Marquis of Shenwei's mansion will surely be destroyed."
After speaking, he turned around and took out a porcelain bottle from his storage ring.
"To ensure that Ye Chen can completely kill Yi Boqi, this Body-Replenishing and Spirit-Restored Pill is given to Ye Chen."
After explaining everything, the Crown Prince, who had been confined to his quarters, quietly entered Emperor Chongyang's study.
Based on this inference, it can be concluded that all the actions taken by the Crown Prince were manipulated behind the scenes by Emperor Chongyang.
…
boom...
Ye Chen unleashed a punch, and a thunderous roar echoed within the cave.
The lightning power unleashed by the Thunderclap Fist caused even the cave dwelling, which was reinforced by an array, to tremble slightly.
"Entering the inner chamber."
Ye Chen looked at his fist and said with excitement in his eyes.
Martial arts training is divided into four stages: Entering the Hall, Entering the Chamber, Perfection, and Peak.
The understanding and power of martial arts techniques vary greatly at each level.
After returning from the gambling domain, Ye Chen devoted himself to practicing the Thunderous Heaven-Turning Fist.
Hard work pays off, and today he finally mastered the ninth-level martial skill, Thunderous Heaven-Turning Fist, to the point of proficiency.
The power of the Thunderous Heaven-Turning Fist at the "Entering the Inner Chamber" level is several times stronger than that at the "Ascending the Hall" level.
What surprised him even more was that, at the same time, the Thunderous Heaven-Turning Fist entered the realm of mastery.
He also advanced to the second level of the Core Formation Realm.
Just today, the Crown Prince sent someone to contact him and gave him a large amount of cultivation resources.
There is only one requirement: kill Ye Boqi in the grand competition.
Ye Chen readily agreed to this request.
Because killing Ye Boqi was something he had to do.
He would never allow Yi Boqi to become his inner demon.
