Chapter 408: There Are Many Pigs

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Collaboration?’

Feng Yili’s gaze was extremely cold and piercing, just like a sharp sword, when he looked at Chu Yuemu. He said bluntly, “Are you even worthy of working with me.

Chu Yuemu was trying to suppress his anger, to begin with. Now that he heard these words, he could no longer hold it in. He smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground and rose to his feet before he said threateningly, “King of Youshan, it seems like you’ve forgotten your identity. You’re just a vassal king with no blood relations to the imperial family. I’m a member of the imperial family. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll punish you?”

The corners of Feng Yili’s curled up slightly as he said, “Punish me then.”

Chu Yuemu felt greatly humiliated by Feng Yili’s casual words and nonchalant behavior.

All these years, everyone said that Chu Yuemu was on par with the Crown

Prince. If the Crown Prince lost, everyone said that he would likely be the next Crown Prince. If he fought with the Crown Prince now, he also had a chance of winning. However, he knew if he fought with the person in front of him now, he would not benefit from it at all.

Back then, the King of Youshan left the capital for his fief. However, it seemed now that they had simply released the tiger back to the mountain.

Chu Yuemu knew his father was suspicious by nature. All these years, his father deliberately let the princes keep each other in check, suppressing their military power. For this reason, they only had the so-called support from the court officials and a little military power, which could not compare to that of the King of Youshan at all.

Thinking of all these things, Chu Yuemu’s anger continued to burn, but at least, his rationality had returned. He took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “King of Youshan, I know that you hold great military power now. However, since ancient times, those who are too extraordinary have never had a good ending. Do you think you can stay out of the struggle for imperial power?”

Feng Yili smiled faintly and asked, “Oh? Then, in your opinion, what should I do, Seventh Prince?”

Chu Yuemu thought that he had managed to convince Feng Yili. He cleared his throat and said arrogantly, “If you’re willing to support me, you’ll definitely be greatly rewarded when I inherit the throne in the future. Serve me. With that, you don’t have to wrong yourself and stay in Yuzhou; you can move the King of Youshan’s Residence back to the capital. What do you think?”

Feng Yili narrowed his eyes and said, “Seventh Prince, the Emperor is still in good health. It’s not appropriate for you to think about the throne now, right?”

“What are you pretending for? Don’t think I don’t know that you deliberately returned to the capital to stir up trouble after Yu Yunxi returned to the imperial family. You want to return to the capital, right?” Chu Yuemu said arrogantly.

Just as Chu Yuemu thought Feng Yili was going to agree, Feng Yili asked indifferently, “What if I disagree?”

Chu Yuemu’s smile froze immediately. Then, he said through gritted teeth, free novelkiss.com

“You don’t know what’s good for you.”

“Jiang Chuan, see the guest out, ” Feng Yili said with complete disregard toward Chu Yuemu. If it was not for the fact that he was worried Chu Yuemu would kick up a fuss and wake up the little bun, he would not have talked so much nonsense with Chu Yuemu.

Chu Yuemu did not even have time to get angry before Feng Yili vanished from

his sight. He was so angry that he felt dizzy.

At this moment, Chu Yuemu’s attendant asked nervously, “Seventh Prince, what should we do?”

“How should I know?” Chu Yuemu snapped as his expression turned ugly. If it not for his mother’s instructions, he would not have looked for Feng Yili as well.

“What are you standing around for? Let’s go?” Chu Yuemu barked, venting his anger on his servants.

“Yes, Seventh Prince.”

At the same time, Jiang Chuan could not help but ask, “Your Royal Highness, what does the Seventh Prince want?”

“Recently, the capital hasn’t been peaceful. Some people are beginning to feel worried and want to rope me in,” Feng Yili said coldly.

Jiang Chuan scoffed and said disdainfully, “Consort Mu and Chu Zhihe suffered such a great loss at the hands of the Princess Consort today, but Chu Yuemu still dared to come?”

Feng Yili’s gaze darkened upon hearing these words. He said in a low voice, “It’s because they suffered such a huge loss that they urgently need to stabilize their faction. I’m sure she understands the situation. There are many factions in Xichu, and the Empress’ faction is the fiercest. The Empress Dowager definitely will not help Consort Mu so Consort Mu naturally feels anxious.”

“It’s good if everyone’s anxious. With that, we’ll be able to turn Xichu upside down,” Jiang Chuan said with a nod.

‘Those people actually wanted to bully the Princess Consort. They think they can do whatever they want, but they’ll definitely regret it in the future…’

Suddenly, Feng Yili chuckled. In the silence of the night, the sound was particularly loud, causing Jiang Chuang to jump slightly.

“Your Royal Highness, why are you suddenly so happy?” Jiang Chuan asked, puzzled, as he thought to himself, ‘Wasn’t he just in a bad mood because of Chu Yuemu?’

“I just remembered that Yunxi once said that there are many pigs in Xichu’s imperial family,” Feng Yili replied. When he mentioned Yu Yunxi, his gaze turned gentle immediately.

‘Pigs?’

Jiang Chuan tried to hold back his laughter.

Those words were simple and true. There were so many princes in Xichu’s imperial family, but only Chu Yuefu and Chu Yuezheng could be considered slightly cunning.

On the other side, Yu Yunxi finally arrived at the Empress Dowager’s meditation room.

The nanny guarding the door said, “Empress Dowager, the Eldest Princess is here.”

The Empress Dowager did not reply.

After a long time had passed, when Yu Yunxi began to grow tired from standing, the Empress Dowager finally said, “Come in.”

Yu Yunxi naturally knew that the Empress Dowager made her stand outside for so long as a show of power. She smoothed the creases on her sleeves before she walked in slowly. Her expression remained unchanged.

Although it was just a meditation room, the room was much better than everyone’s room. It was very well furnished and could be considered a bedroom as well.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager was sitting down as palace servants massaged her back. Scriptures and sheets of paper laid on the table next to her. Based on this, it could be seen that she was copying scriptures earlier.

‘A person like her with a dark heart and living luxuriously even in a temple is actually sincerely worshiping Buddha? Did she commit too many sins so she hopes to wash away her sins with this method?’ Yu Yunxi thought to herself as she sneered inwardly.

Outwardly, Yu Yunxi said, “Yunxi greets the Empress Dowager and Consort Du.”

Du Wenxin was standing next to the Empress Dowager at this moment. She raised her head and smiled at Yu Yunxi gently as she said, “Child, you’ve suffered today.”

Du Wenxin looked as though she really felt sorry for Yu Yunxi at this moment.

Du Wenxin was not very old, but time had already left its traces at the corners of her eyes. Her appearance was already ordinary, to begin with, so she looked much older than Consort Mu, who was a few years older than her. She would not stand out at all in a sea of people.

‘Her appearance is ordinary, but are there really ordinary people in the imperial palace?’

Yu Yunxi smiled slightly and said calmly, “Thank you for your concern, Consort Du. I’m fine now..
