The Ascetic was montarily stunned, then imdiately said, "Your Highness, that Phoenix Crown Qing follows the person by the Seventh Princess's side, we can try to take it from them."
"Do you know who that person is?" the Twelfth Prince asked.
"I do not recognize them."
The Ascetic shook his head, "But he is quite close to the Seventh Princess, I see there seems to be so indistinct romantic relationship between them, and he even handed a large sum of money to the Seventh Princess."
The gaunt old man couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Your Highness, if that Phoenix Crown Qing is under the control of the Seventh Princess, then that could be troubleso. It's not good to violate the rules set by His Majesty."
Everyone knew that before a Prince or Princess beca Sealing King, or reached Saint through Harmonization, other royals who had not yet done so could neither intervene directly nor target the individual themselves.
"If we wait for the Seventh Princess to undergo Harmonization and beco a Saint in the future, taking the Phoenix Crown Qing will be difficult, and there would still be competition from others, making the chances even slimr," sighed the gaunt old man.
The Twelfth Prince sat behind his desk, quietly contemplating.
After a while, he slowly stood up and said, "This opportunity cannot be missed, let's break this rule then."
"Your Highness?" exclaid the gaunt elder in shocked horror.
"The rules set by His Majesty imply tit for tat; are there few Princes who have broken rules?"
The Twelfth Prince said softly, "I won't kill my seventh sister, just snatch her Qing Falcon. Even if it leads to the Crown Prince, it's nothing more than handing over a similar Qing Falcon, so I'll just give her another similar one."
The gaunt old man hesitated, then said, "Your Highness plans to create a fake? Could this... be feasible?"
"As long as its True Body is not seen, who dares assert if it's true or not?"
The Twelfth Prince spoke quietly, "She says the one I hand over is fake, and I'd say the one she brings out is not the Phoenix Crown Qing. Who would believe that such an incredible opportunity as the Phoenix Crown Qing could exist within Beiyuan Mountain?"
The gaunt elder thought for a mont and said, "If it's like this, then there must be no one else to testify on behalf of the Seventh Princess."
"Just eliminate the others, re hearsay from my seventh sister is as good as idle talk."
The Twelfth Prince, his deanor calm, said, "At that ti, just set a large array and completely seal the exits of Beiyuan Mountain, leaving no one aware of what happened. Afterward, there would only be my seventh sister's side of the story. With personally in charge, even if other Princes arrive, they wouldn't be able to break the array in a short ti."
He looked toward the Ascetic and said, "An Yuan, on that day, accompany there. With your intervention, we'll be able to snatch the Phoenix Crown Qing from my seventh sister, and the Prince Mansion will prepare a suitable excuse for you."
"Rest assured, Your Highness."
The Ascetic nodded slightly and said, "If it's unnecessary, Your Highness, please do not intervene lest it provides proof to others and further convinces outsiders that the Phoenix Crown Qing is genuine."
"I will do my utmost to absolve you of the cri of offending the princess, and will also try to compensate you as much as possible in the future," said the Twelfth Prince.
"There's no need for worry, Your Highness."
Smiling, the Ascetic said, "This ti in Beiyuan Mountain, I have also made advancents. In a few years, I should be able to Harmonize. Even if I am sent to the Heavenly Prison, I will be able to Harmonize there and beco a Saint, at which point they will surely release soon."
"Oh?" The Twelfth Prince showed a hint of surprise, before smiling warmly, "Amongst the many Guest Elders in my mansion, indeed it is you, An Yuan, who will Harmonize the fastest."
"With both Master An Yuan and Your Highness taking action, this matter is as good as settled."
The gaunt elder couldn't help but smile as he said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, this is indeed a cause for celebration; at that ti, having obtained the Phoenix Crown Qing and with Master An Yuan able to Harmonize and beco a Saint, it truly is a double blessing."
"It's too early for congratulations now," the Twelfth Prince slightly shook his head and said, "There are still four months left, just waiting for that day…"
