The following night.

Su Rui arrived at the Sixth Prince's residence as promised.

"Su Rui pays his respects to the Sixth Prince."

Upon seeing Chen Feng, Su Rui quickly bowed.

"No need for formalities. Lord Su is a national hero of the Great Jin Dynasty. He has served the country by observing the stars and predicting the fate of the nation for the Emperor. There is no need for such a grand ceremony."

Chen Feng attached great importance to Su Rui's arrival and personally greeted him with his wife.

Now, in the court, the Prince of Jin has lost power and has missed the opportunity to become the crown prince.

But Su Rui, that old fox, knew very well that Prince Jin still held the strongest position in the court.

He supported the sixth prince, but only as a puppet.

However, the Prince of Jin always valued civil officials and the aristocratic class, and he was very disgusted by people like him who made a living from metaphysics.

He tried to contact them multiple times, but was rejected each time.

Now, seeing Chen Feng's invitation, he was overjoyed.

He knew that Emperor Jin did not have many years left to live, and he had to quickly choose sides in the struggle for the crown prince position.

Only in this way can he maintain his lifelong wealth and honor.

"I wonder what brings the Sixth Prince to invite me here?" Su Rui asked.

"Naturally, I am very interested in metaphysics and would like to learn from Lord Su."

With that, he led Su Rui to the study and dismissed the others.

Su Rui entered the room and found that a fine banquet had been prepared.

Judging from the scale of these banquets, this level of scale is what is required to welcome members of the royal family.

Upon seeing this, Su Rui was overjoyed. This showed how much the Sixth Prince valued him.

"Please have a seat, Lord Su."

"Sixth Prince, this honor exceeds the bounds of propriety. I, Su, am simply not of sufficient rank..."

"Lord Su, since this is a private banquet, no one will know. Please don't refuse, lest you disappoint this prince's good intentions," Chen Feng said.

Su Rui was deeply shocked that the Sixth Prince had made an exception for her.

"Yes, Lord Su, there's no need to refuse. The Sixth Prince is looking for you because he values ​​your talents."

Han Duo'er smiled, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a phoenix crown. Her stunning beauty made Su Rui feel flattered.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Madam." Su Rui had no choice but to sit down.

"I heard that Lord Su is fond of Princess Tiantong. Lord Su has good taste. Princess Tiantong has a refined purple hue and is a beauty." Han Duo'er personally poured wine for Su Rui and went straight to the point, revealing Su Rui's thoughts.

It should be noted that Princess Chen Yingyun of Tiantong County is a member of the imperial family.

Coveting a member of the imperial family is a capital offense.

Upon hearing Han Duo'er reveal his wicked thoughts, Su Rui's smugness vanished instantly, and he turned pale with fright, collapsing to his knees with a thud.

"Madam, you flatter this old minister. This old minister is over fifty years old, while Princess Tiantong is only thirty-one years old. Her status is noble, how could this old minister dare to covet her?"

"To disrespect a member of the royal family is a capital offense. I urge you, Madam, to be careful with your words. This old minister is filled with trepidation." Su Rui knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Get up quickly, she's just an adopted daughter with no blood relation. If Lord Su likes her, this prince will make sure you get her..." Chen Feng said hurriedly.

Su Rui was completely stunned.

I can't believe why the Sixth Prince and his wife are so good to him.

They even went so far as to use Princess Tiantong as a bargaining chip.

There are important things he needs to do regularly.

In an instant, the fear in Su Rui's heart vanished.

After all, with the Sixth Prince backing him up, once this matter succeeds, he will be tied to the Sixth Prince's cause.

"Now that His Highness has made things clear to you, I hope you will stop pretending. What I promised you, I will definitely deliver."

Han Duo'er interjected at this moment.

Su Rui was deeply shocked.

Now that Han Duo'er has made things clear, it would be ungrateful of him to refuse now.

done.

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

"But Princess Tiantong is already married, this is probably..."

Su Rui knew that if the Sixth Prince could say it, he could do it, so he deliberately tested him.

Moreover, his lust for Chen Yingyun has been going on for quite some time.

Ever since I met Chen Yingyun at Lianghu last year, she has been appearing in my dreams every day as the leading lady.

Unfortunately, the other party was of such high status that he didn't even have the right to look up to them.

"So what if she's married? She's just married a third-rank official. I, the prince, can make her your slave, and then spread the word that she was robbed by a bandit leader on her way back to her residence. The bandit leader is not under the control of the court, and the court will eventually give up!"

Chen Feng was aware of the current situation in the Great Jin Dynasty.

At present, the Great Jin Dynasty is plagued by natural disasters, and the court is only concerned with stabilizing the people's hearts.

Although the abduction of the county princess was a great disgrace, it seemed commonplace at this juncture.

Seeing that Chen Feng had thought of every word perfectly, Su Rui was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, at his age, he still has such good fortune.

"Lord Su, think about it, how delightful it would be to imprison the unattainable Princess Tiantong for life and defile her day after day," Chen Feng tempted.

These words were incredibly impactful to Su Rui.

The thought of bringing down the high and mighty county magistrate from the clouds into the mud is unbearable.

Her previous aloofness and indifference have transformed into her slave at this moment.

Blinded by desire, Su Rui immediately knelt down and said, "Su Rui is willing to give his life for the Sixth Prince, without hesitation."

"Very well, that's exactly what I've been waiting for. Tonight, I've also invited Princess Tiantong. Just wait in the manor, and you'll be able to enjoy yourself tonight."

Chen Feng looked at Su Rui and smiled.

The thought of getting Chen Yingyun tonight made Su Rui unable to contain himself any longer, and he immediately kowtowed again.

really.

"Your Highness, Princess Tiantong has arrived."

The voice of a eunuch could be heard from outside.

Chen Feng looked at Su Rui and said, "You eat now. My wife and I will go to another place to entertain Princess Tiantong, and then we will send her to your bed."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Su Rui exclaimed with elation.

Soon, Chen Feng and Han Duo'er entered and left the study to personally greet Chen Yingyun.

Chen Yingyun was merely an adopted daughter and had no royal blood.

Having been invited by the Sixth Prince, he dared not delay and immediately rushed over.

"Why did you suddenly decide to invite Yingyun to the banquet, my brother? You're so busy with state affairs; I thought you'd forgotten about me."

Chen Yingyun thought it was just normal interaction among members of the royal family and was unaware that she was in a dangerous situation.

Within the royal family, neither the direct line nor the collateral line valued her.

She felt very honored by Chen Feng's invitation.

"My elder sister has married and I haven't seen her for many years. I miss her dearly. Today is a full moon, so I thought I'd invite her over to catch up," Chen Feng said with a smile.

Chen Yingyun believed it to be true and said with a smile, "It is rare for my royal brother to think of me. I am flattered."

"Royal sister, the banquet is ready. His Highness wants to have a good drink with you tonight, please..." Han Duo'er invited.

Chen Yingyun didn't think much of it and followed the two into the mansion.

The banquet was of extremely high standard. As soon as Chen Yingyun sat down, Chen Feng gave Han Duo'er a wink.

Han Duo'er quickly picked up the wine pot and said, "Royal sister, let me pour you some wine..."
