Chapter 304 Ruthless Royal
In the corridor, a man looked hurried, Feng Qi frowned tightly, feeling restless.

For some reason, he always had a bad feeling.Princess Yongning and Ling'er are so similar in temperament, and something like that happened before, it's only a ghost that the journey can be smooth and safe.He didn't fully believe Yongning's words, he just took it as the little girl's ignorance.But at today's critical moment, such ignorance would probably implicate the Hou Mansion.

And this kind of thing is not easy for him to publicize. Do you want to tell your father that because Princess Yongning confessed to him, so in order to avoid suspicion, he can't join the bodyguard?

After some hesitation, Feng Qi still felt that it was better not to let others know about this matter.After all, others would not believe what Princess Yongning said, just like myself, and my father would think that I was talking nonsense.

Feng Qi sighed helplessly, he stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, but when he looked up again, he saw a little girl standing in front of him, looking at him hesitantly.

"...Fourth Brother, you must escort Yongning to Yi Country."

Feng Ling frowned tightly, and walked over slowly, it was the first time she called him fourth brother so seriously.

"Actually, those paintings were all my ideas. Yongning didn't know about it. She is really grateful to Fourth Brother. Ling'er begs you...you must help her, even if...just accompany her along the way..."

Feng Ling's face changed from the naughty one in the past, it was the first time she begged Feng Qi with such an expression.

Looking at the big reddish eyes in front of him, Feng Qi restrained his expression and frowned slightly. He knew that he couldn't talk too much with Feng Ling, because in her world there were only things she wanted to do and what she didn't want to do.

"Can't you?" Feng Ling stretched out her hand and gently grabbed Feng Qi's sleeve, her little face was full of pleading, Feng Qi's heart moved, and finally she sighed softly, "This is what I can do for the princess , the last thing."

But he can only act carefully and keep a distance from the princess.Feng Qi was not compromising, he changed his mind, if the princess couldn't bear to do something stupid on the way, it would not be good for Changding Marquis Mansion, so he could find a chance to persuade her by following him.

Feng Ling sniffed, and finally curled her mouth, "Fourth Brother, you're actually not that annoying."

After leaving such a sentence, the little girl turned around and slowly left Feng Qi's sight.

The man smiled helplessly, it seemed that the only thing to be happy about was that he had changed in this little girl's heart.Only this time, it really got into trouble.

……

"Ma'am, are you tired?"

In the Tai's uterus, the maid looked at the woman sitting quietly in front of the mirror, with a bit of exhaustion in her pensive look.

Du Yuanxiu raised his head, "Is His Royal Highness in the palace?"

"...The slaves don't know."

Du Yuanxiu took a deep breath, and kept thinking about the words of County Lord Yongji. If she really has someone in her heart, what should His Highness the Crown Prince do?Du Yuanxiu felt that His Highness was very pitiful, and was full of hesitation whether to tell His Highness this fact, so that His Highness could change his mind as soon as possible.

Because she felt that once a woman like County Master Yongji had her own heart, she would not change her mind easily.

Thinking of this, Du Yuanxiu slowly stood up and walked out of the bedroom.

house.

"Your Highness, the empress is here to invite you."

The Grand Duke in the Phoenix Palace stood outside, Dongfang Xu turned around and saw the waiting face.

The two figures were moving in the corridor one after the other, and the Grand Duke could clearly feel the different aura from His Highness the Crown Prince.

In the distance, Du Yuanxiu looked at the two people who were gradually leaving, thought for a moment, and then followed.

On the main seat, Empress Chen looked up at the full moon framed by the window sill, her face was full of seriousness.She wasn't sure if she could persuade the prince to give up the county lord Yongji.Because men's hearts are so stubborn, the most beautiful things in the world are just what they can't ask for, and often the most unforgettable is the first person they fall in love with.

But there is a price to be remembered, how can the queen not understand her prince, even if she loses everything, he will choose that path.

The queen slowly turned the rosary in her hand, as if this could give her a moment of peace in her heart.

So today, she is going to bet, bet on a word of filial piety.

That handsome figure slowly appeared in front of the queen's eyes. Her excellent prince's eyes at this moment actually carried a depth that she couldn't see through.

"Empress." The voice was slightly hoarse, and the empress could imagine how the prince lived these few days.

"Prince, have you looked in the mirror today?"

The queen's tone was full of severe reproach, Dongfang Xu naturally understood what she meant, but he didn't answer.

A burst of anger exploded in her heart, and the queen slapped the armrest heavily, "Look at you now, do you still have the demeanor of a prince?!" The person in front of her is really the prince she is proud of ?

Trapped by love, stubborn and paranoid, this is not the child she raised at all.

Since when did the prince become what he is today?The queen began to reflect deeply. Maybe she was wrong. She failed to teach the prince. There are many things in the world that cannot be possessed. She paved the way for him and chose the best mentor. Educated him about the hardships of the world.

"Queen, maybe I'm not suitable for the crown prince?"

"What? You..." The queen did not expect that the prince would say these words by himself.Originally, she was concerned about his self-esteem and did not tell him clearly what the emperor thought, but today she wanted to remind the prince that if he continued to be depressed like this, the situation would be in jeopardy.

"If you are a prince, you can't stay with the one you love, then this prince doesn't matter."

This is what Dongfang Xu said after thinking about it for a long time. He thought of what Yun Shu said before, and he wanted to seek power in his position. Because he is the prince, he has to shoulder the responsibilities of the prince.So what if he isn't?Don't you have to be so tired?
The queen widened her eyes, looking at the man who was forced into trouble, "You, don't you think for the queen mother?!"

Dongfang Xu frowned slightly, and the queen slowly walked in front of him, "Prince, do you know how many people in this palace are looking at us, mother and son, the position of prince is really what you want to do, don't want to do it Why don't you do it?"

Dongfang Xu's eyes flickered, "Mother, if the minister is really not suitable for the position of crown prince, then even if he ascends the throne in the future, it will definitely affect the country of Chen."

He didn't want to imagine the scene of himself standing on a high place alone.His heart was empty, as if he had no soul, and he planned his strategies with all his might, but all he really had was endless loneliness besides this country.

Empress Chen couldn't help but gasped, the last thing she wanted to hear was such words.

"Then who do you think is suitable? Is it your second brother who can punch his wife, or the narrow-minded fifth brother, or the young ninth brother?! Or do you want that person in the cold palace to find someone?" Opportunity to kill the queen mother?!"

Dongfang Xu's pupils shrank, Empress Chen heaved her chest, and finally grabbed his wrist tightly, "Just for the mother's sake, can you... sit firmly in the country of Chen Kingdom?"

She saw struggle in Dongfang Xu's eyes, however, Empress Chen knew that she must not let go at this time.

"Queen, in fact, this does not conflict with County Lord Yongji..." As long as she was by his side, Dongfang Xu felt that he had the courage.

"What if your father intends to marry the Lord Yongji to the Prime Minister?"

What? !Dongfang Xu was shocked, "Is this true?" Then he met the Prime Minister outside the Imperial Study Room, was it because of Yun Shu?

There was a cold light in the queen's eyes, "Prince, the prime minister is an indispensable talent for the Chen kingdom. The emperor did this to comfort the prime minister for his hard work for the Chen kingdom over the years, and also to warn you not to misuse the country and society for your children's personal affection!"

However, Dongfang Xu only felt agitated. His father wanted to marry Yun Shu. He knew what he wanted, but...

"Do you know how many people are waiting for you to take a wrong step, and how many people want the lives of our mother and son?! If you really plan to give up the crown prince for Yongji County Lord, do you think your father can keep her? "

If it was the former emperor father, Dongfang Xu must think that he would not be so cruel, but now it is different. Today, the father emperor can even abandon the most beloved princess, so how can he care about a courtier in front of Jiangshan Sheji? woman's life.

"What does the empress mean, that there is only one way for my son to go?"

Empress Chen took a deep breath, "If you don't want County Lord Yongji to die because of you..."

Dongfang Xu only felt that the sharp pain in his heart made him breathless. It turned out that he had no choice at the beginning.The expectation that I had been holding on to in my heart has been turned into nothing at this moment. Looking back on my current appearance, it is really ridiculous!

"Prince..."

Empress Chen paid attention to Dongfang Xu's changing face. The original pearly full moon was instantly covered by dark clouds, just like the man at this moment, who lost all the brilliance on his body.

Slowly turning around, Dongfang Xu only felt that a pair of legs were not his own at all, and walked aimlessly towards the outside of the palace. Empress Chen quickly stopped him, "Prince, why worry about not having beauties when you are sitting in the world, beauties are easy to grow old , but the country is unchanged!"

"So the queen mother will give up her children for the sake of the country?"

"..." Empress Chen had a stiff expression, while Dongfang Xu slowly let go of her hand, raised her steps and walked towards the outside of the palace, leaving only one sentence.

"Perhaps this is the sentence, the most ruthless emperor's family."

Empress Chen looked at the gradually leaving back, unable to speak a word.

Something seemed to flash through her mind, Dongfang Xu's words lingered in her ears, she suddenly woke up, if she really had to choose between Jiangshan Sheji and her child, she would choose... Could it be that she was wrong?
The cold wind blows on Du Yuanxiu's face, and the hot tears seem to take away the warmth of the wind.

"Why are you here?"

The cold voice came from above his head, and Dongfang Xu's eyes were full of anger and despair.

Only then did Du Yuanxiu slowly raise her head and look at the man she admired in front of her, but her heart ached and cried for him.

She heard everything just now, and if she could, she really wanted to bear all the pain for His Highness.However, she was annoyed that she couldn't do it. Why, she couldn't do anything for His Highness?

Her eyes were full of sympathy and pain, and Dongfang Xu knew at a glance that she had already stood here and knew everything.

As if letting others see his wound, Dongfang Xu became angry and grabbed her hand, "Let's go!"
