I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

After waiting for a while, Emperor Xuan and Huangfu Song still did not return.

In the vast hall, there were only four people: him, Qin Li, and the Zhao brothers.

Because one of them had just been slapped by Qin Li, and seeing how good the relationship was between Qin Li and Qin Feng, who were even seen arm in arm in the main hall, the Zhao brothers wouldn't pay any attention to Qin Feng.

Finally, Qin Feng could only look at Qin Li and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is it necessary for us to continue waiting? Or should we go back?"

Although he is the main character, his body is not made of iron, and he also feels tired and sleepy.

After rushing back to the capital from the border, at Qin Li's insistence, everyone worked day and night without ever getting a proper rest.

Having finally returned to the capital, Qin Yu thought he could finally get a good rest tonight, but who knew that Qin Li would kill Qin Yu as soon as he got back.

Qin Feng could only force himself to stay awake from day to night, waiting to go to the palace to give his report.

Now that he had finished speaking, he was truly exhausted and just wanted to go back and rest.

Unexpectedly, Qin Li grabbed Qin Feng and wouldn't let him leave, deliberately saying, "Seventh Brother, this is nothing. According to my estimation, this is just the beginning."

"Cheer up, don't embarrass the Qin family."

"Look at your older brother, I've done just as much as you have."

"Not only did you kill people during the day, but you also fought three hundred rounds with someone after returning home. I didn't even do what you did. How dare you even think about going back?"

"Even if you don't compare yourself to your elder brother, but to our father, look at how old he is, having to bury his son, and you can handle it all. You're so young, can't you handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng pinched his thigh hard. He had no choice but to endure it; he couldn't possibly be outdone by an old man who was halfway to the grave, could he? If word got out, he'd be laughed at to death.

To be honest, Qin Li was also very tired and wanted to go back to rest.

But he couldn't; now was the most crucial moment.

After months of struggle and several brushes with death, it's all for tonight.

With the victory just around the corner, he has to hold on!

Whether he can secure the position of crown prince depends on tonight.

Qin Li didn't know how long Emperor Xuan and Huangfu Song were whispering, or when they would return. He needed someone to wait with him, and unfortunately, Qin Feng ran into them.

"Someone, bring in a few stools!"

"Standing and waiting is not Qin Li's style," Qin Li shouted outside.

The palace servants waiting outside the hall dared not disobey and quickly brought in four stools, one for each of the four servants.

No sooner had the stool been placed down than Qin Li walked toward the Zhao brothers.

With two loud thuds, they kicked the stools behind them to the ground.

"Pah! You're not worthy to sit here!"

Spitting, Qin Li launched into a tirade against the palace servants.

The palace servants were terrified and didn't dare to lift their heads. They quickly moved the stool that Qin Li had kicked over and left as fast as they could.

The Zhao brothers were clearly furious, but they didn't dare say a word.

Neither Emperor Xuan nor Huangfu Song are here. Qin Li is capable of anything, so they dare not go against him.

After doing all this, Qin Li turned back and invited Qin Feng to sit down instead of just standing there.

Looking at Qin Li's "domineering" demeanor, it would be a lie to say that Qin Feng wasn't envious.

If someone can be domineering and arrogant, who would be willing to be subservient to them?

He strives to climb the ladder step by step, hoping that one day he can be as domineering as Qin Li.

"Brother, I know you killed someone during the day, but you just said that you fought someone for three hundred rounds after returning to your residence. Anyone who can fight you for three hundred rounds must be a master among masters. I just don't know who it is, and I wonder if I have the honor of knowing?"

Qin Feng was really curious about who this person who had fought Qin Li for three hundred rounds was. Qin Li was a mid-stage seventh-rank expert, so this person must also be a mid-stage seventh-rank expert, and possibly even higher.

Qin Li couldn't help but laugh and pointed at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was taken aback, his brows furrowing. "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Qin Li laughed and said, "She's not some expert among experts, not even an ordinary martial artist. She's just a weak woman, the Song Qian you met during the day, whom your eldest brother rescued from the third brother!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that the "three hundred rounds of battle" wasn't a fight, no, it was a fight, but it took place in bed.

After realizing what had happened, Qin Feng's eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Damn it, how come all the good things have fallen on Qin Li's head?

He was also thinking that after returning to the capital, he would find a way to get close to Song Qian and win her favor.

After all, Fang Yuan was dead, and Song Qian became a widow.

Moreover, Song Qian is very wealthy, and if he could be recruited, it would definitely be of great help to him in the future.

Before he could even make a move, Qin Li had already won over Song Qian.

"Congratulations, brother! Congratulations!"

Qin Feng offered his congratulations on the surface, but in reality, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

Qin Li could tell that Qin Feng's congratulations were insincere, but he still reached out and gently patted Qin Feng's shoulder, "Not at all, it's all just luck. If Fang Yuan hadn't sought his own death, how could I have won the heart of this beauty?"

"But I'm really worried about your marriage, Seventh Brother. You and Wei Hongying are destined to be apart, so it's better to break it off as soon as possible."

"Take my advice, brother, and hurry up and find the next one. I've already prepared the gift money."

It would be better if Wei Hongying wasn't mentioned, because the mere mention of her made Qin Feng grit his teeth in anger.

Originally, he and Wei Hongying were destined to be together. As long as Qin Li didn't interfere or meddle, he believed that with his efforts, Wei Hongying would definitely fall in love with him and marry him. The two would become an enviable couple, a model couple.

But it was because Qin Li interfered and stole someone else's love that he and Wei Hongying ended up with this regrettable ending.

In his opinion, Qin Li wasn't genuinely advising him to find someone else; Qin Li was just looking for someone else for himself.

Qin Li would steal away any woman he set his sights on.

He was a victim, and Fang Yuan was a victim too!

This is why Su Chen does not have a fiancée or wife.

Otherwise, Qin Li would have snatched it away too.

"Brother, please stop teasing me."

"I don't want to get married so soon. I learned a lot from my elder brother during my trip to the border."

"I'd rather think about how to serve the court and the country first."

Upon hearing this, Qin Li couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Qin Feng gained nothing from his trip to the border.

He took all the credit for himself.

Even so, Qin Feng still wouldn't give up?

Okay, okay, okay!

It seems we still can't let our guard down against Qin Feng.

We must keep Qin Feng under our watchful eye and keep him completely exhausted!

The two brothers chatted, while the Zhao brothers listened intently from the side, exchanging glances.

They were both shrewd old men, and they could tell that the two brothers were outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds.

This seventh prince, Qin Feng, can be recruited to help deal with Qin Li.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guanwen coughed twice, "cough cough..."

However, before he could take the next step, Qin Li, who was sitting on the stool, shot him a cold look.

"Cough your mother's head! Why weren't you coughing earlier? Cough again and get out of here!"

Zhao Guanwen was so angry that he was practically fuming.

He was, after all, a veteran official of the court and a confidant of Emperor Xuan.

All the civil and military officials in the court addressed him respectfully as "Old Zhao".

Although Qin Li is the eldest prince, he is still quite old and is his junior, so he should at least give him some face.

Who else is like Qin Li, who curses without warning and uses extremely offensive language that no one can tolerate?

"Your Highness, what have I done to offend you? Why do you insist on picking on me?" Zhao Guanwen feigned pitifulness.

Qin Li wouldn't tolerate it and directly exposed his true colors, "Is it me, the prince, who's making trouble for you, or you, you old bastard, who's making trouble for me?"

"Over the years, you and your brother have spoken ill of me to Father Emperor, targeting me at every turn!"

"If it weren't for my long-lasting good fortune, I would have already made things difficult for you two brothers, forcing you to hang yourselves."

"Nonsense, utter nonsense!" Zhao Guanwen naturally refused to admit it, and neither did Zhao Guanli.

He was too lazy to talk to Qin Li anymore; they were on different paths and couldn't work together.

Passing Qin Li, Zhao Guanwen cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Feng and asked:

"May I ask, Your Highness, what is the situation at the border, and how exactly was this battle won?"

Qin Feng didn't dare to answer directly, but instead looked at Qin Li beside him and asked for his opinion.

Knowing full well that Qin Li and the two brothers were at odds, like two titans clashing.

If he dares to say it, Qin Li will not let him off.

What he said when Emperor Xuan and Huangfu Song were here doesn't count.

Seeing that Qin Feng dared not speak under Qin Li's tyranny, Zhao Guanwen said:

"Seventh Prince, you don't need to be afraid of him. Just say what you have to say. He wouldn't dare kill you!"

Qin Feng was speechless, his lips twitching violently... Others might not dare to kill him, the Seventh Prince, but Qin Li was too daring. Just during the day, Qin Li had chopped down the Third Prince, Qin Yu, with a single blow. Zhao Guanwen knew this, yet he still encouraged him to do so. Qin Feng really didn't know where he had offended Zhao Guanwen to make him do this to him.

Zhao Guanwen, realizing his mistake, looked displeased and said, "Seventh Prince, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that under His Majesty's watchful eye, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly!"

Qin Feng looked at Qin Li again, asking for Qin Li's opinion.

Now, he can still tell whether Qin Li or Emperor Xuan is stronger.

Emperor Xuan only held the title of emperor; in every other aspect, he was no match for Qin Li.

"Just say it when I tell you to. Why are you always looking at me like that?"

"If word gets out, people will think that your elder brother doesn't even let people speak."

"But Seventh Brother, you'd better think carefully about what you should say and what you shouldn't say." Qin Li squinted, his face unfriendly.

Qin Feng nodded, immediately understanding Qin Li's meaning.

Qin Li told him to say things that were beneficial to Qin Li, and absolutely not to say anything that was detrimental to him.

For example, Wang Hu's army is fully organized and still stationed on the border. The entire northern region of Jiuzhou now belongs to Wang Hu, which are all advantageous factors.

As for the agreement between Qin Li and the Empress, where one pretended to retreat and the other pretended to pursue, these were unfavorable things and absolutely could not be mentioned.

With this in mind, Qin Feng carefully considered his words before explaining the situation at the border to the Zhao brothers...

The Zhao brothers listened intently, afraid of missing a single word.

They will all relay these words to Emperor Xuan in a moment.
