Chapter 211: Your Mother Sleeps With Me, You Won’t Lose Out
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiang Feiyan was in the room, looking at herself in the mirror. She looked at her face happily. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes had somehow disappeared over the past few days.
Her complexion had become much better as well, fair and rosy.
“A woman is just different with the nourishment of a man…”
At the thought of Su Wen, she blushed.
“Daqiang is really powerful. His cultivation is powerful, and he doesn’t show any mercy in political battles. During this period of time, my younger brothers have been fighting intensely!”
That’s right. The Crown Prince, who originally wanted sit stably, had his mentality shattered by Su Wen’s methods and started to take the initiative to attack.
Throughout the daily court assemblies, they began to attack their opponents. For many consecutive days, they even sent memorials of each other to Emperor Chu. The others were not to be outdone and counterattacked one after another, looking for evidence against the other party.
As for Xiang Feiyan, she remained uninvolved in the whole matter, behaving in a very relaxed manner.
Having interacted with Emperor Chu for many days, she naturally knew that although Emperor Chu’s current physical condition was not good, he was not in a state of immediate death.
She also understood why Emperor Chu never went to court, and why he didn’t see his children. It was all to make these people uncertain and anxious. At such a time, other than the Crown Prince, no one dared to bet when the Emperor would die.
Thus, they had to defeat their opponents as soon as possible.
As a result, the Crown Prince became the target of public criticism.
In the courtyard, Xiang Sheng could already move around at this point.
He was being helped around as he moved in the inner residence.
Meanwhile, Su Wen chuckled as he laid on the chair and basked in the sun.
This was such a leisurely life.
At this moment, Xiang Feiyan walked out of the room and came to Su Wen’s side. She said gently, “I bought two old ginseng today. I’ll get the kitchen to stew an old hen with the ginseng for you later. Make sure to nourish yourself. It’s been hard on you these days.”
Su Wen smiled and said, “This is nothing. It’s just a small test.”
In the inner courtyard, the Eldest Princess did not avoid anyone and sat straight in Su Wen’s embrace.
Su Wen smiled. “Sheng’er will be angry if you do this.”
Xiang Feiyan whispered into Su Wen’s ear, “This is not something that can be hidden from others. He will find out sooner or later…”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Xiang Sheng and waved her hand. “Sheng’er, come over.”
Although Xiang Sheng was unwilling, he still walked over obediently.
Xiang Feiyan said sternly, “From today onwards, you will take Mister Su as your Master. From now on, you must treat Mister like your father! If you dare to be disrespectful, don’t blame me for falling out with you.”
Xiang Sheng felt aggrieved!
In the end, although his father had died early and Xiang Feiyan had forced him to change his surname, he was still unwilling for her to find someone else.
After so many years, why did Su Wen have to come and make things as such?
But how powerful was Xiang Feiyan? Xiang Sheng did not dare to disobey.
He obediently looked at Su Wen and bowed. He gritted his teeth and said, “Greetings, Master!”
Su Wen did not care. He knew that Xiang Feiyan was only doing this to make Xiang Sheng accept their relationship.
He casually waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to be so polite.”
However, something that neither of them expected happened. That afternoon, Xiang Sheng, who had yet to recover, went out.
The Wei family of the Great Chu, which was also Xiang Sheng’s paternal family, was considered one of the Chu royal families.
They had been officials for generations.
Back then, Wei Yigong, who was also Xiang Sheng’s father, married the Eldest Princess of Great Chu. His limelight could be said to be unparalleled.
However, after Wei Yigong died, the Eldest Princess forcefully changed Xiang Sheng’s surname.
This caused the two families to fall out and never interact again.
Even Xiang Sheng had never interacted with House Wei in private.
After all, he and Xiang Feiyan were mother and son. As a son, he naturally leaned towards Xiang Feiyan. Furthermore, the Great Chu Xiang family had the surname of the country and the royal family. Although he was not recognized by the royal family, the surname was already changed, and he could do nothing about it.
But today, he didn’t know who to ask for help, so he could only come to House Wei to give it a try!
Back then, the head of the Wei family, who was also Xiang Sheng’s grandfather, Wei Song, now headed the Ministry of Appointments of Great Chu. He could be said to have a high position and authority.
At this moment, he was reading at home.
“Master, the son of the Eldest Princess, Xiang Sheng, is outside requesting an audience!”
Upon hearing this name, Wei Song clenched his fists.
Xiang Sheng? Hmph!
As the head of a family, it was unbearable for his descendant to have his surname forcefully changed.
If not for Xiang Feiyan’s special status and the fact that she was the Eldest Princess, he would have taken revenge long ago.
Even so, after so many years, the two families had not bothered to interact with each other.
“Just him?” Wei Song asked.
“Yes!”
“Let him in!”
Not long after, Xiang Sheng entered and bowed when he saw Wei Song. “Grandson greets Grandfather!”
Wei Song did not expect that he would lower his stance so much the moment he entered. Seeing that Xiang Sheng’s eyebrows were somewhat similar to his son’s, Wei Song felt a lump in his throat. He could not react immediately, and his eyes even started to have a prickly feeling.
“Have a seat!” He did not comment on the way Xiang Sheng addressed him.
He was still very rational. He looked at Xiang Sheng and said in a deep voice, “If you want me to avenge you, I can tell you openly that I can’t do it.”
He had mistakenly thought that Xiang Sheng came to look for him because he had gotten severely injured.
In his opinion, this was definitely Xiang Feiyan’s intention. She wanted to interfere in the competition and take the opportunity to pull him into the battle.
Wei Song didn’t think that Xiang Feiyan had any advantage. In his opinion, if he chose to side with Xiang Feiyan now, it might be a disaster for the Wei family.
“No!” Xiang Sheng’s eyes were red as he said in a deep voice, “I came to find Grandfather for another matter! Please help me on account of my dead father!”
“What is it? Tell me first!”
Wei Song would not easily make any promises.
Xiang Sheng said in a sorrowful voice, “It’s my mother! A few days ago, she invited Mister Su back and let that person stay in the inner residence. But… recently… I discovered that Mother and that person already had an improper relationship, totally unlike that of employer and employee. Today, Mother wants me to acknowledge Su Daqiang as my master and hold the ceremony between master and son!
Although my mother changed my surname, I never dared to forget Father. How could I tolerate such a thing? It’s just that Mother is domineering and that person’s martial arts are high. I can only come and beg you!”
Xiang Sheng cried as he spoke.
Wei Song was furious when he heard this, but on second thought, he clenched his fists and suppressed his anger.
He said in a low voice, “This matter has nothing to do with my Wei family. Go back. The Department of Internal Affairs will naturally take care of your mother.”
Xiang Sheng was extremely disappointed.
He stood up and bade farewell.
“Hmph! B*tch! What do you take the Wei family for? You changed Sheng’er’s surname first! And now you’re not abiding by the rules of women!” Wei Song cursed.
However, he didn’t dare to do anything openly. He knew very well that as long as Emperor Chu didn’t die, he would be the supreme ruler of this empire.
Over the past few days, he still knew some things about the palace.
Xiang Feiyan became the only person who could accompany Emperor Chu.
This meant that it was impossible for him to touch Xiang Feiyan openly. He might even suffer a backlash from Emperor Chu.
“Just because I can’t move… doesn’t mean that others can’t move!”
Wei Song stood up and shouted, “Men! Prepare the carriage! I want to go to the Crown Prince’s residence!”
In the Crown Prince’s residence, the Crown Prince and Wei Song sat opposite each other.
During this period of time, the Crown Prince had been under a lot of pressure. He was everyone’s target, and everyone knew that the first priority was to defeat him.
As an important official of the court, Wei Song was naturally someone the Crown Prince wanted to rope in.
Seeing Wei Song come, the Crown Prince personally welcomed him.
After the two of them sat down, Wei Song didn’t beat around the bush and directly told them the whole story. In the end, he said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, if you can help me make Su Daqiang leave the Eldest Princess, and also sentence the Princess under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I’m willing to serve Your Highness.”
The Crown Prince began to calculate.
In the eyes of the Crown Prince, Xiang Feiyan was no ordinary person.
He knew Xiang Feiyan too well. During this period of time, Xiang Feiyan entering the palace to accompany Emperor Chu had always been a sore point for the Crown Prince.
In his opinion, Xiang Feiyan was still thinking of ways to seize the throne.
This was an opportunity for him!
Although Xiang Feiyan had been a widow for many years, the emperor could not ignore the crime of having an affair with a man.
However, the difficulty lay in gathering evidence.
To put it bluntly, in order to catch such misdeeds and to prove who was right or wrong, everything depended purely on having physical evidence.
Just having empty talk was definitely not allowed.
As for that Su Daqiang, the Crown Prince had also heard of him. To put it bluntly, it was probably this person who had given Xiang Feiyan the scheme to get close to the Emperor.
The Crown Prince pondered for a moment and said with a smile, “Alright, then leave this matter to me! Minister Wei, just wait for the good news! However, don’t forget your promise today.”
After sending Wei Song off, the Crown Prince stroked his chin.
Regarding this manner, he planned to start with Xiang Sheng as a breakthrough point!
As long as Xiang Sheng testified, Xiang Feiyan would not be able to defend herself!
It would be interesting to use a son to sue his mother.
The Crown Prince rubbed his chin and shouted, “Men, let’s go to the Eldest Princess’s residence!”
When he arrived at the Eldest Princess’s residence, the Eldest Princess was not there. She had entered the palace again to meet the Emperor.
Only Xiang Sheng and Su Wen were in the residence.
Xue Qianxun came to Su Wen’s room and reported in a low voice, “Master, the Crown Prince is here. The Eldest Princess is not around. He said that he wants to see Xiang Sheng, and the two of them are in the main hall alone.”
Su Wen narrowed his eyes, before immediately standing up and left.
In the living room, Xiang Sheng and the Crown Prince sat opposite each other.
The crown prince sighed and said, “Sheng’er, your grandfather went to my place today. I already know what happened.”
“Ah?”
Xiang Sheng was stunned. He had come back absolutely crestfallen today, but did not expect this matter to reach the Crown Prince’s ears.
“As her uncle, I can’t stand it either. Your mother has gone overboard in this matter…”
The Crown Prince expressed his stance.
Xiang Sheng’s eyes lit up as he heard the Crown Prince continue, “However, we still have to settle the matters of our royal family ourselves. If you go and look for your grandfather, he’s just an external official. How would he dare to interfere in such a matter?”
“Then what should we do?” Xiang Sheng asked anxiously.
The Crown Prince continued, “It’s very simple. I can help you tell Royal Father. As for you, you have to testify with me in the palace! As long as you explain this matter clearly in front of your Royal Grandfather, that Su Daqiang will definitely be punished. As for your mother, she is of the royal bloodline after all. At most, she will be reprimanded!”
“How is it? Are you willing to enter the palace with me?”
These words were pure lies. How could he let Xiang Feiyan off so easily? He would definitely find an opportunity to punish her and kick her out of the competition.
But it had to be said that Xiang Sheng was tempted. After pondering for a moment, he said, “I’m willing to testify! When are we entering the palace?”
“You’re willing, willing my ass!”
Suddenly, a voice sounded and Su Wen walked in.
He sat down on the chair and sneered at Xiang Sheng. “Stand up!”
Xiang Sheng was a little nervous after being reprimanded.
He stood up hesitantly.
When the Crown Prince saw this scene, he sneered and said, “Who the hell are you? How dare you be so rude to my royal family’s descendants? Men, slap him!”
A figure entered the living room and reached out to slap Su Wen.
A 9th Grade Earth Rank expert!
Bang!
Before the person’s palm could land, Su Wen had already punched him.
The guard was sent flying.
His feet landed on the ground, but he was still unable to deflect the force. He retreated straight back ten meters and was pushed out of the courtyard before stopping.
Immediately after, he spat out a mouthful of blood!
He shouted sternly, “Your Highness, be careful! This person is extremely strong!”
Su Wen sneered. “Your Highness, you still want to hurt people in the Eldest Princess’ residence?”
The Crown Prince’s eyes widened in shock!
One had to know that that guard was not an ordinary person. As the person closest to him, his skills could be said to be one of the best under the Crown Prince!
He was actually defeated in one move by the person in front of him?
Was this guy a Heaven Rank expert?
Of course, Su Wen was not a Heaven Rank expert, but his current combat strength far exceeded that of an ordinary 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivator. In Su Wen’s opinion, this guard was only average among 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivators.
In reality, it was understandable. Although there were many 9th Grade Earth Rank experts, those who had specifically trained to the pinnacle of their grade would definitely join the army and serve the Emperor if they wanted more authority.
They would work towards achieving merits and being conferred a title of nobility.
For example, Wu Kunhu and Yan Ze were in charge of a portion of the military.
Who would submit to the Crown Prince unless they wanted to take a shortcut?
The Crown Prince’s expression changed continuously, but he was not afraid. He said in a deep voice, “If you dare to hurt me, my father will not let you off!”
What familiar words!
Su Wen felt nostalgic.
As an old hand at using his father as a shield, he really missed being able to say such things. Unfortunately, he couldn’t use his own father’s name here.
Su Wen smiled. “I won’t kill you. I don’t want to be pursued by a Heaven Rank expert, but that doesn’t mean I can let you do whatever you want to me. Otherwise…”
Su Wen moved quickly and instantly appeared beside the crown prince. He pointed at the crown prince’s acupoints.
Immediately afterward, a burst of scorching True Qi invaded the Crown Prince’s body!
“Hot!!”
The Crown Prince let out a miserable cry. He felt as if hot oil was pouring into his body!
The pain was extremely unbearable!
“How dare you!”
The moment the Crown Prince shouted, the 9th Grade Earth Rank expert instantly panicked!
When he rushed into the hall again, a steel blade had already appeared in his hand. He slashed straight at Su Wen’s head!
However, he was only halfway through when he saw Su Wen give a strange smile. He said to the Crown Prince, “Lend me your body!”
As he spoke, he actually raised the Crown Prince and placed him against the oncoming saber!
How could the guard dare to slash? He forcefully retracted his saber.
Pfft! His True Qi flowed in reverse as he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Su Wen did not hit him and instead smiled. “Try again?”
“You’re despicable!” The guard shouted.
Su Wen sneered. “Idiot, your master has already been captured by me, yet you still dare to curse me. Aren’t you afraid that he will die?”
As he spoke, Su Wen looked at the crown prince whose features were twisted in pain and smiled. “How is it? Does it feel good? Don’t worry, there won’t be any injuries after this.”
“I’ll definitely kill you!” the Crown Prince said through gritted teeth.
Su Wen was not angry. There were already too many people who wanted to kill him.
Having a Crown Prince was not a big deal! As long as he had not ascended the throne and could not control a Heaven Rank expert, Su Wen was not afraid!
Seeing that the Crown Prince was unconvinced, he pointed out once again and the Crown Prince cried out in pain!
Xiang Sheng was shocked beyond words at this point.
This person… was too impudent!
Did he not have any respect for the royal family?
One had to know that in Xiang Sheng’s understanding, even if it was a 9th Grade Earth Rank expert, no one would dare to treat the Crown Prince like this.
After a while, seeing that the Crown Prince did not dare to scold him anymore, Su Wen waved his hand and retracted his Qi. The pain on the Crown Prince’s body immediately disappeared.
He gritted his teeth and shouted coldly, “Let’s go!”
With that said, he ignored Xiang Sheng and turned to leave!
After he left, Su Wen sat back in his chair and looked at Xiang Sheng with a smile. “Are you stupid? Your mother schemed to seize the throne for you, yet you still want to collude with your biggest competitor, your biological uncle, to stab your mother? Are you afraid that your mother will succeed and your uncle will not dare kill your entire family?”
Xiang Sheng turned his head away!
Su Wen smiled and said, “Why? Can’t you accept that your mother is sleeping with me? I can tell you openly that without me, your mother definitely won’t have a chance at all. You will never be able to become the emperor of Great Chu!
If your mother sleeps with me, you might be able to become the emperor in the future. Isn’t this a good deal? What’s there to be angry about? At the very most, when you become the emperor in the future, you can just hack me into pieces. If you can’t endure small problems, how will you be able to achieve great things?”
Hearing this, Xiang Sheng turned back to glare at Su Wen fiercely.
“Must you be so direct?”
Hearing Su Wen say ‘sleep with your mother’, Xiang Sheng was extremely angry.
Su Wen sneered and said, “You little bastard, wasn’t your uncle straightforward when he discussed with you about stabbing your mother? Why didn’t you talk about him? I’m not afraid to tell you that your injuries were caused by your uncle’s men!”
“Impossible!”
Xiang Sheng was in disbelief. After all, in his opinion, the Crown Prince treated him quite well.
Su Wen sneered and said, “You still need feelings to compete for the throne? Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself? If you really go to the palace with your uncle to stab your mother, your mother will definitely be punished. Your mother and my plans will go to waste these days. The biggest beneficiary will not be you, but your uncle.”
“Emperors are heartless! An emperor must place all his feelings behind the interests of his country and his personal interests. Don’t worry, there’s something wrong with my body. I won’t have any descendants with your mother.
Your mother only has you as her son, and you will definitely be the future successor of Great Chu! Think about these benefits. Why, can’t you take it if you acknowledge a b*st*rd father? What if your mother doesn’t look for me and finds someone else to make a younger brother for you? Wouldn’t it be more uncomfortable?”
Su Wen stared at the youth in front of him.
An internal struggle could be seen on his face.
After a moment, he looked at Su Wen once again. The hatred and anger within his eyes were already gone.
“Master, please accept Sheng’er’s bow!”
Su Wen’s words moved him, especially the fact that he could not have children!
In addition, the strength he displayed just now was also an important reason why Xiang Sheng was moved.
Even after Su Wen entered the residence, Xiang Sheng did not realize how strong he was.
However, just now, he could see that even the Crown Prince’s guards were powerless against Su Wen.
This force could already become Xiang Feiyan’s strong support.
Coupled with Su Wen’s analysis, even though he still felt humiliated, Xiang Sheng did as Su Wen had said.
He had gradually started to place his feelings behind the benefits..
