Crazy or What? The Gloomy Prince Kisses Me to Tears Every Night! Chapter 263 - 252: The Throne... Is Nothing More Than Pickin
What kind of despicable and shaless person is Feng Qingyang, who would want to be like him? Saying that he shares similarities with him is an insult to Feng Qiwu!
However, seeing Feng Qiwu’s deep disgust towards Feng Qingyang, Pri Minister Bai was even more satisfied.
To be honest, the Crown Prince is intelligent, brave, and resourceful. As a subject of Da Qin, claiming not to be pleased would be false.
Having such a wise and brave successor, Da Qin will only flourish under his rule, becoming stronger than ever before.
But who said the emperor couldn’t tolerate him?
As a subject, the emperor should always be the priority in front of him. No matter how excellent the Crown Prince is, until he ascends the throne, he is just a prince.
Therefore, even though he disagreed with the emperor’s actions against the Crown Prince, he wouldn’t offend the emperor for the Crown Prince’s sake.
But, these were his previous thoughts.
Even though the Crown Prince has been said to be violent and has indeed punished those who offended him, the recent plague and the Northwest rebellion have shown him that the Crown Prince, although cold, still cares for his people in tis of crisis. Otherwise, he would not have stepped up in such critical monts.
And the emperor?
Not to ntion the outrageous actions he’s undertaken to suppress the Crown Prince secretly over the years, now his subjects have, unknowingly, beco pawns he can manipulate and discard at will.
This is the most unacceptable point.
If the people knew how the emperor regarded them, who knows how heartbroken they would be.
...
"It was inconsiderate of this old servant; I only hope that when the day cos where you ascend that position, you’ll rember what you’ve said today." Pri Minister Bai said directly at this mont.
Hearing Pri Minister Bai’s words, Feng Qiwu scoffed and said, "Why would the Pri Minister use these words to test ? I am not afraid to speak plainly — the throne... is as easy for to obtain as reaching into my pocket for it. Do you really think I’ve gone crazy and having my military power stripped, that the Emperor’s position is as Feng Qingyang says?"
"Whether or not I sit on the throne only depends on my mood!" Feng Qiwu said brazenly.
Pri Minister Bai was sowhat startled by his words.
He knew that the Crown Prince would never speak empty words, and now that he dared to make such a statent, it ans he truly has the confidence to overthrow the emperor at any mont.
However, he truly couldn’t understand where Feng Qiwu’s confidence stemd from.
Thinking of this, Pri Minister Bai couldn’t help but probe, "You have great confidence in yourself, but are you aware that the emperor is preparing to target you again?"
"Ha! Just with that incompetent man?" Feng Qiwu sneered disdainfully.
The next mont, he suddenly said to Pri Minister Bai, "Pri Minister Bai, considering you are Susu’s grandfather, I am not afraid to let you in on so truths!"
With that, he abruptly flicked a golden imperial ornant on the antique shelf in the study.
In an instant, the basketball-sized pure gold ornant shattered into a pile of fine powder.
Pri Minister Bai was utterly astonished.
He knew the Crown Prince’s martial arts were incredible, but he never expected his skills had reached such a formidable level!
That was a pure gold ornant!
Though gold isn’t the hardest, it is stable enough. Flattening it might be easy, but turning it into powder... is exceptionally difficult.
Moreover, the Crown Prince shattered it with a re flick of his finger from a distance.
...
At that mont, Feng Qiwu said calmly, "The Pri Minister is a wise man, the world is already changing."
Pri Minister Bai imdiately thought about Feng Qiwu’s earlier demonstration.
He couldn’t help but exclaim, "What does the Crown Prince an?"
"The power that I just wielded, there are actually many hidden individuals in this world who possess it, and this plague was orchestrated by them."
"Does the Pri Minister think that soone as selfish as Feng Qingyang could protect Da Qin from these people?"
It’s not that he underestimated Feng Qingyang, but if it really ca to that, Feng Qingyang would be the first to sell out Da Qin.
Pri Minister Bai naturally understood the implications behind Feng Qiwu’s words.
But having lived for decades and experienced nurous ups and downs,
although Feng Qiwu’s words seed fantastical, he knew that Feng Qiwu was not soone prone to speaking of myths and legends.
Moreover, he indeed wielded that mysterious and formidable power.
After a mont of silence, Pri Minister Bai suddenly asked, "If Your Highness ascends the throne now, how confident are you in defeating those hidden individuals?"
Noticing how quickly Pri Minister Bai accepted and even hurriedly wanted him to ascend the throne, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but laugh.
"Is Pri Minister Bai intending to support my ascension now? Aren’t you afraid I will tell Feng Qingyang what you said?"
Suddenly, he felt that Feng Qingyang was truly pathetic.
Although an emperor is often seen as a solitary figure, Feng Qingyang still held so trust in Pri Minister Bai.
Feng Qingyang dared to agree to the marriage with Susu because he was confident that Pri Minister Bai was his man and would never betray him.
But now?
Even Pri Minister Bai had drifted away from Feng Qingyang.
While he, Feng Qiwu, similarly had no one to trust wholeheartedly, he still had Susu, whom he could fully trust.
Feng Qingyang, on the other hand, had already killed the woman who loved him wholeheartedly!
...
Pri Minister Bai shook his head upon hearing Feng Qiwu and said, "I know Your Highness wouldn’t do such a thing."
He sighed heavily.
"Had the emperor still held so love for his people, this old servant wouldn’t have such treacherous thoughts, but the emperor, because of you, has beco sowhat obsessed." Pri Minister Bai looked at Feng Qiwu with complex emotions.
If it were an ordinary family, the father would be overjoyed to have a son more outstanding than himself.
But to Emperor Feng Qingyang, the more outstanding the Crown Prince was, the more he beca a thorn in his throat, a prick in his back.
Even though the Crown Prince had now been struck with madness, Feng Qingyang still distrusted him and even tried every ans to force him to his death.
But he couldn’t continue watching the emperor treat the Crown Prince this way.
Most importantly, he wouldn’t let Susu beco a pawn in the emperor’s hands against the Crown Prince.
...
Hearing Pri Minister Bai’s words, Feng Qiwu scoffed dismissively, "Because of my madness? The Pri Minister should know how my mother died, shouldn’t he?"
Upon hearing this, Pri Minister Bai couldn’t help but slightly narrow his eyes.
He sighed, "You already know?"
Benevolent and loving, yet possessed of various strange abilities, without which Feng Qingyang could never have secured the throne, nor could the territories of Da Qin have expanded to beco the foremost of all nations.
But alas, sharing hardships is easy, sharing prosperity is hard.
No matter how much love there was back then, it ultimately couldn’t withstand the temptations of power.
