"Ah, at such a critical ti and you are still boasting. Having severely injured the Imperial Grandson, Feng Bailing, even with extraordinary abilities, cannot escape this ti."
The Princess Consort Shun muttered.
"Queen Mother, stop talking nonsense."
The Princess Consort Shun continued to chatter endlessly, prompting Princess Mingxia, who was beside her, to beco intolerable.
"I am going to check on Xiao Li."
Dugu Xiaojin was worried. Although his father had made assurances, he was still uneasy. After so thought, he decided to go and check on his sister, Feng Xiaoli.
As of now, the only person in Prince Shun’s Mansion who was still kept in the dark was Feng Xiaoli.
"Brother Xiaojin, where are Her Majesty and father?"
Feng Xiaoli had just returned from the Imperial Palace. Ever since she discovered the strange black aura in the palace, she had to visit daily. It wasn’t because she liked the palace—in fact, she particularly despised it, especially the part with Noble Consort Dugu.
However, considering the health of Noble Consort Guo and Empress Dowager, she reluctantly had to go to the palace, tampering daily with their food using the Buddhist Alms Bowl.
The food tainted with black aura would cause health issues for others, but once purified by the Buddhist Alms Bowl, the food beca safe.
This was approved by Her Majesty before, but she had instructed Feng Xiaoli to be very cautious and not to let anyone discover the secret of the Buddhist Alms Bowl. Feng Xiaoli was very careful, and other than Her Majesty, even her brother Xiaojin and their father were unaware of it.
However, this made Feng Xiaoli extrely tired daily. When she saw Dugu Xiaojin, she was yawning.
She hadn’t seen Her Majesty and her father since her return.
Dugu Xiaojin frowned, not knowing how to explain the situation to Feng Xiaoli at the mont.
Feng Xiaoli was different from him; if she knew that sothing had happened to the Queen Mother, she might explode like a firecracker. "Xiao Li, father and the Queen Mother had to leave for so urgent matters. There’s sothing I would like to discuss with you."
Dugu Xiaojin hesitated, and seeing his serious expression, Feng Xiaoli blinked her big eyes and nodded her little head.
"As long as it’s Brother Xiaojin asking, Xiao Li will agree."
"Dongfang Jin is injured and currently unconscious; could you visit the Crown Prince Mansion to see him?"
Dugu Xiaojin was ticulous; he had long noticed that Feng Xiaoli’s words had power—once she spoke, things would happen. However, the Queen Mother always forbade Feng Xiaoli from speaking casually, saying it was not good for her.
Dugu Xiaojin certainly didn’t want his sister to be troubled, as he knew the reasons behind the Queen Mother’s disapproval must be important, but this ti the matter was of great urgency. If Dongfang Jin died, the Queen Mother might face severe consequences.
Feng Xiaoli thought seriously for a mont; she previously disliked Dongfang Jin, but this fellow had always treated her well, and she did not dislike him as much as before anymore.
"Is it just to see him?"
Feng Xiaoli thought it over and decided to help Dugu Xiaojin—it was the first ti her brother had ever asked her for a favor.
"We will just sneak into the Crown Prince Mansion to have a look. If you can help, that would be great, but if not, it’s also fine."
The two youngsters, Dugu Xiaojin and Feng Xiaoli, swiftly left Prince Shun’s Mansion.
On normal days, Chun Liu and others would definitely notice, but today, the entire mansion was preoccupied and worried about Feng Bailing’s safety, and even Chun Liu and the others failed to notice that the two youngsters were gone.
Under the night sky, the atmosphere in the Crown Prince Mansion was very heavy.
Since Dongfang Jin was injured, waves of Imperial Physicians entered and exited the Crown Prince Mansion like a carousel of lanterns.
Dongfang Jin’s injuries, as Hua Wushang had previously ntioned, were actually not severe, but for so unknown reason, he remained unconscious to this day.
Seeing her son with his eyes tightly closed and the Wenhua Seal on his forehead disappearing, Nalan Yan’er cried with her eyes red.
"Crown Prince, however it may be, Feng Bailing must be severely punished this ti."
"If Jin’er ends up like this, I am afraid in the future..."
Nalan Yan’er did not continue speaking.
Feng Bailing’s arrow completely shattered Dongfang Jin’s Wenhua Seal, and once the Wenhua Seal is shattered, it will never be able to condense again, aning that even if Dongfang Jin awakens, he would be nothing but an ordinary person from now on, unable to cultivate ever again.
For the Crown Prince couple who had high hopes for their son, this was undoubtedly a nightmare.
"That Feng Bailing clearly did it on purpose."
The Crown Prince also gritted his teeth with hatred.
The Imperial Physicians were all helpless, seeing Dongfang Jin’s current state made the Crown Prince recall his own past, never expecting his son to follow in his own footsteps, remaining unconscious.
"Crown Prince, Prince Wu is outside asking for an audience."
A guard from outside ca to report.
Nalan Yan’er paused her sobbing.
Yet, the Crown Prince let out a cold laugh.
"He still has the face to co, tell him to get lost."
Prince Wu coming at this ti must be to plead for Feng Bailing, but the Crown Prince’s heart was set like iron, this ti he would not let Feng Bailing off no matter what.
He wanted Feng Bailing dead, his son had beco like this, no different from a crippled person, and Feng Bailing was the chief culprit, he must have Feng Bailing executed.
"Crown Prince, Prince Wu did not co alone, he also brought several officials from the court. There’s soone from General Zhao’s house, Duke Jiang’s Mansion, and..."
The guard said, finding it difficult.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince’s expression changed again.
He gritted his teeth and said,
"What a clever Prince Wu, he is threatening this palace now."
Dongfang Jin had gone mad in the Imperial Academy, lost his humanity, killing two students from the Tiantong Class, and even a teacher was seriously injured, not to ntion several other students with minor or serious injuries.
These people were earlier suppressed by the Crown Prince using his power, but now Prince Wu had brought them all out, clearly aiming to pressure the Crown Prince.
After all, Dongfang Jin injured people, if his actions today blew up, even Emperor Yongye might bla him.
"Prince Wu said that he did not co to ask the Crown Prince, but to ask the Crown Prince to go to the palace with him,"
The guard carefully stated.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince kicked over, and the guard was kicked to the ground.
The Crown Prince’s face was ashen.
"What a clever Dugu, he wants to confront this palace in front of the Emperor? Fine, this palace wants to see how the Emperor will judge."
Saying so, he stord out angrily.
Seeing the Crown Prince leaving, Nalan Yan’er sat frozen beside the bed for a while.
"Crown Princess Consort, should we ask Lord Hua to co and check on the Imperial Grandson?"
A palace maid beside Nalan Yan’er softly reminded.
Nalan Yan’er wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes, her voice carrying a chilly tone.
"What’s the hurry, until Feng Bailing is executed, it’s not too late for Wushang to check on Jinjin."
Nalan Yan’er looked at her son lying unconscious on the bed, her eyes full of disappointnt.
Why couldn’t her son overco this?
