Chapter 146: Chapter 146 : Back To The Heavenly Realm
There was a ti in his past life, so weeks after Liu Wenyuan’s death, when Zhang Fengxi ran into Xie Jianyu by coincidence.
At that ti, the Crown Prince was rarely seen in the Golden Dragon Palace. He gave a lot of excuses to skip the morning etings, starting from a massive headache down to a severe illness.
Every ti he went missing, his general health was put into question. Was the Crown Prince fit to rule? Or should the Heavenly Realm pick another to succeed the throne?
It was none of Zhang Fengxi’s concern. He was busy colluding with Liu Yichen and putting together his revenge plan.
Xie Jianyu’s doom was as certain as the sunrise and sunset every single day.
On the surface, though, Zhang Fengxi still had to maintain appearance. After all, the Supre General was supposed to be loyal to not only the Emperor but also the Crown Prince.
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince," Zhang Fengxi gave a perfunctory bow to his superior.
"Supre General."
Xie Jianyu was pale in the face. He was hulled in a long, thick coat that extended from his chin to his toes, making him look less like a cultivator, and more like a palace mistress.
What a disgrace.
Zhang Fengxi was barely able to hide his contempt for the Crown Prince.
"Has Your Majesty been well?" Zhang Fengxi asked without a single care.
"Yes, thank you."
There was a complicated expression on Xie Jianyu’s face. Zhang Fengxi assud that it was guilt. Xie Jianyu possibly had trouble sleeping at night. Served him right, for all the horrible things he had done in this life.
Zhang Fengxi could not help but feel happy about Xie Jianyu’s unfavorable circumstances.
"Then, I shall excuse myself. Good day, Your Majesty."
Zhang Fengxi gave another bow. He then walked past Xie Jianyu, but the latter stopped him.
"Wait."
Zhang Fengxi stopped in his track, but he did not bother looking at Xie Jianyu.
Xie Jianyu lowered his gaze for a while before he spoke again in an unnatural voice. His sickness seed to affect his bearings. He no longer sounded like his usual confident and aloof self.
"Fengxi, there is sothing I need to tell you."
In response, Zhang Fengxi turned his head and gave Xie Jianyu a cold stare.
"Pardon, Your Majesty. Please refrain from calling
so casually. It is not appropriate," he said with a mocking sneer after a aningful pause.
When Zhang Fengxi saw pain flicker across Xie Jianyu’s eyes, his heart jumped in glee.
Oh, the pitiful Crown Prince.
His whole life, he was used to having subordinates bow and speak respectfully in front of him. It must be a surprise to receive a different treatnt once in a while.
Xie Jianyu regained his composure fairly quickly.
"Oh," was all he had to say afterward. He did not continue with whatever he wanted to tell Zhang Fengxi, and Zhang Fengxi also did not bother to ask what it was.
The two n parted ways just like that and went on with their separate lives.
From then on, Xie Jianyu never called Zhang Fengxi by his na again. He always referred to him as the "Supre General". The last ti he dared to call Zhang Fengxi by using his na was when he lay in Zhang Fengxi’s arms, with the Three Realm Spear embedded into his stomach.
Soon afterward, the Crown Prince breathed his last.
The short trip along the mory lane brought tears to Zhang Fengxi’s eyes.
At present ti, the alpha opened his misty eyes and stared at the familiar ceiling of his bedroom.
"Arghhhhh...!!!"
A guttural groan escaped his throat when he tried to move his limbs. It was as if soone beat him so hard that he almost died.
"Zhang Fengxi!"
The one who pushed the door open and barged into the room was none other than his mother, Lady Song.
"You disobedient child!" Lady Song scread at the top of her lungs. "Your father told you to stay in Longjing Palace and take care of your clan! How could you just go to the Demonic Realm to pick a fight with a Demon King???"
Zhang Fengxi gaped at his mother, and then he groaned again.
"Answer , or you will be grounded for one month!"
Zhang Fengxi opened his mouth to defend himself, but nothing ca out other than more groans.
"That’s it!" Lady Song exploded in anger. "You are grounded for one month!"
"..."
Mother! Zhang Fengxi howled in his head. I am hurt! You are practically bullying
intoahouse arrest!
Thankfully, Zhang Zhiyuan picked the right ti to show up.
"My dear, Fengxi is badly hurt. I don’t think that he should be locked up in the palace."
Lady Song fud. She put both hands at her waist and raised her voice, "So what if he’s hurt? It’s his own fault, isn’t it?"
Zhang Zhiyuan paused for a while as he gaped at his wife. And then he ekly answered, "Well, actually..."
"I don’t want you to keep making excuses for your son! He is grounded!"
"... Fine, ground him."
Zhang Fengxi groaned again. This ti it was not due to pain but out of protest.
Lady Song looked her husband up and down.
"And you, where are you going? Why are you dressed so formally?"
Zhang Zhiyuan looked down at his official robe.
"Oh, it’s just... All palace masters gathered at the Golden Dragon Palace to discuss a very important matter."
"What matter? Your son is hurt! What if the Demon Kings decide to attack our palace?"
"Aiyah. Dear, stop being so dramatic. You don’t understand. The First Demon King had done sothing horrible to the Crown Prince."
Xie Jianyu?
Zhang Fengxi stopped making noise in order to listen better.
Lady Song lowered her voice to a whisper.
"What’s wrong, Dear? Is the Crown Prince badly wounded? Oh, the poor boy."
"Worse," Zhang Zhiyuan said in a dramatic tone. "The First Demon King turned the Crown Prince into an oga."
