The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 114: Na Fei (5)
After hesitating for a moment, he said again, "Thank you father!"

"Silly girl!" Chu Yi'an's lips curled into a smile, and then he buried himself in the documents on the table.

He was a person who couldn't show his emotions, but at the moment when he lowered his eyes, Chu Xunyang really heard an almost desolate sigh from his nose.

But at this moment-

But she had no choice at all.

Seeing that he still had business to do, Chu Xunyang didn't stay any longer and said goodbye. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but turn her head and take another deep look at the man who was busy behind the case.

"Father, if history is destined to repeat itself one day, then I can only ask you to forgive me." She said to herself in this way.

Then, turn around.

Definitely leave!

The door closed, and the room returned to its spotless tranquility.

Chu Yi'an raised his head from the official document, with complex expressions in his eyes, staring at the mottled light and shadow on the ground for a long time, until the sound of Chu Xunyang's footsteps outside the courtyard disappeared, he called out: "Lu Yuan!"

"Your Highness!" Lu Yuan pushed the door open, waiting for orders at the door.

"Go and call Zeng Qi!" Chu Yi'an said.

"Yes!" Lu Yuan agreed, turned around and walked out quickly, and found Butler Zeng after a while.

When Butler Zeng entered the door, Chu Yi'an still maintained his original posture, staring at the sunlight falling on the floor tiles in a daze.

"Here we come!" Seeing him coming in, Chu Yi'an leaned back on the chair behind him.

Steward Zeng roughly knew what he wanted to ask, so he explained to him what happened in Jinhuatang before he asked.

"The subordinate didn't care about it at first. Later, when I heard that the princess came here suddenly, I felt that something was different, so I went to ask." Finally, Butler Zeng said, with a serious expression on his face, "His Highness Changsun's staff has already moved from around Jinhuatang. Withdrew."

Chu Yi'an listened expressionlessly, noncommittal.

In the past, Steward Zeng would definitely not interfere with his housework. Since he respected Chu Yi'an as the main one, he naturally had to keep his temper with Chu Qihui and others.

But now—

"My lord, to say something out of bounds, now Nanhe Prince's mansion is making more and more small moves behind the scenes, and His Highness still has to protect the princess. It is not an exaggeration to say that the current situation is difficult, and there is really no room for any mistakes. If you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe!" After careful consideration, Butler Zeng still knelt down, "My lord, I know that you have a hard time choosing this matter, but in all fairness, even if it's just for the sake of the princess, the prince of the county is also the one who takes the position. The most suitable candidate. What's more, the prince of the county has tolerance and generosity, so he won't kill His Highness the eldest grandson and the others, but on the contrary—I'm afraid it will really turn into a disaster for Xiao Qiang."

It wasn't that there was a problem with Chu Yi'an's information network that he didn't realize that Chu Qihui used disgraceful means against Chu Xunyang, but fundamentally, he didn't have such precautions from the beginning.He was partial to Chu Xunyang, but he was tolerant enough to the other children, but he never thought that his eldest son, who had always been known for his honesty and honesty, would do such a thing.

No wonder Chu Xunyang was angry, and he——

Not only angry, but also disappointed!

For the two sons, he never wanted to separate them from each other, but Chu Qihui's behavior.

"After talking for a long time, why do you have to go around in front of me? Just say it." Chu Yi'an thought about it, but smiled unconsciously, "Qihui's actions are said to be directed at Xinbao. It's already a plan against Qifeng, Xinbao can't block his way, but—"

His position was originally reserved for Chu Qihui.

Butler Zeng was ashamed and bowed his head in embarrassment.

"Qihui is the eldest son, no matter what you say, it will be more legitimate for him to take over the position." Chu Yi'an also ignored him, just immersed in his own thoughts, "In this way, do you want me to start planning now? ?”

His eyes were deep, staring at an unknown direction in the air, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Butler Zeng smiled wryly: "My lord, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome——"

"Zeng Qi!" Chu Yi'an smiled, with a sad and desolate emotion in his eyes, and there seemed to be water floating in the vagueness.

Then he closed his eyes suddenly, closing the world in front of him, and the voice floated in a distant and slow voice: "You know, I can't sit in that seat! I'm afraid—"

His voice drifted away, but he still couldn't speak.

He buried her home and country with his own hands, and that was already a road of no return. If he wanted to use her blood and dignity to occupy the land lost from her hands in the future, he was very afraid——

Even on the road to Huangquan in the future, I will never have the face to see her again!
Now he is attracting the attention of thousands of people, and countless people are staring at the position within reach in front of him, but no one knows that from the beginning, he has never planned to get involved in that position.

Even if Dayong is dead, even if the Liang family is destroyed, even if the world is in chaos and strife, everyone in this world can fight for that position, only he——

No!

Back then, he couldn't swing a knife at his father, and with the blood feud of the Chu family mixed in, he could only move forward.

Today, however, he is firmly guarding the position of the crown prince, but only to pave the way for Chu Qihui. He did not ask too much of Chu Qihui, but to resolve the emperor's suspicion and fear, so that Chu Qihui can smoothly ascend to the top position. He thought that it was a good thing for his son to be mediocre, and that he would only be a conservative king when he ascended the throne of God. At least after his death, Chu Xunyang would not be in danger.

But now—

All balance is broken.

"My lord, there is no choice at this time." Zeng Qi said, "Your act of seizing the opportunity to besiege Xunyang City was always a thorn in His Majesty's heart, even though the death of the eldest princess temporarily dispelled his thoughts. Suspicion, so that he can't pursue it, but you clearly know that he has never completely lifted his wariness towards you these years. Now don't say that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, is too selfish, and it is impossible to protect the princess behind you. The wisdom of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson—whether His Majesty will really allow him to take the position in the future is still open to debate."

Chu Yi'an was noncommittal.

No one has ever known that he has also been walking on thin ice these years, just to suppress the emperor's guard against him to the maximum extent.

Back then when he learned that the emperor's army was going to overthrow the Great Rong Dynasty, he took advantage of the emperor's occupation of the imperial capital and went south to Xunyang, intending to take Liang Xi away, but Liang Xi saw his situation very clearly. He refused without hesitation.
