Back to the Peak

In the Imperial Palace, in the Royal Study Room. 26nbsp;

Xue Hongze, who came back from Qing's house, frowned, thinking about something on his mind.

Today, in order to show the importance he attaches to Qing Lie, he didn't even go to the morning court, and rushed to Qing's house immediately.

What surprised him was that his third prince, Xue Yang, was also in the Qing family!

And it was specially invited by the Qing family!

The reason for the invitation shocked Xue Hongze even more: the Qing family, who had never participated in the prince's struggle for power for many years and had always remained neutral, wanted to attach themselves to the third prince—the most unworthy of his three sons!

When Xue Hongze was full of suspicion, guessing why the Qing family did this suddenly, Qing Lie said the reason without hesitation!

The Qing family's attachment to the third prince is entirely due to one person - Ling Feng from the Ling family!

Xue Hongze knew that although Qing Lie was over eighty years old, he was not an old fool, but an old fox! He would never help Ling Feng just because Ling Feng saved his life.

He dared to do this, which showed that he had enough confidence in Ling Feng!

"This Ling Feng is really not easy! He was able to bring the big ship of the Qing family under the command of the third prince!"

This is Xue Hongze's evaluation of Ling Feng.

He found that Ling Feng, who was only eighteen years old, did not look like a fledgling boy at all, no matter his behavior, words, deeds, or martial arts cultivation.

Ling Feng's dominance made the Emperor Xue Hongze both happy and sad!

The joy is that the Eastern Jin Dynasty produced such a genius, which is undoubtedly a great thing for the future prosperity of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

What is worrying is that Ling Feng has already had a big conflict with his eldest son. Now Ling Feng's strength and influence are not strong enough to pose a threat to his eldest son. But the stronger Ling Feng is in the future, the more dangerous his eldest son will be!

As a father, Xue Hongze also has a selfish desire to protect his son.

If it was before, if he knew that Ling Feng could threaten his son, Xue Hongze would kill Ling Feng without hesitation and kill the danger in the bud.

But now he couldn't touch Ling Feng.

The first reason is reluctance. A genius like Ling Feng who is one in a million is rare in a hundred years, and now that he has used it, how can Xue Hongze be willing to destroy himself as a general?

The second reason is that you can't. Now that the Qing and Ling families have formed an alliance, and Ling Feng is under his third son, Xue Hongze moving Ling Feng means turning against the Qing family and his third son. Although his third son doesn't have much power, the strength of the Qing family is so strong that even the royal family is afraid of it. Xue Hongze didn't want to ask for trouble.

"Go, call the eldest prince here!" Xue Hongze ordered to the little eunuch beside him.

Seeing the figure of the little eunuch running out in a hurry, Xue Hongze already had an idea in his heart: let the eldest prince go to Ling's house, show his favor to Ling Feng, and eliminate the conflicts between them!

Soon, footsteps sounded outside the imperial study room.

Xue Hongze looked up, and saw that the little eunuch had already led the eldest prince in brocade clothes into the room.

"I pay homage to my father!" The eldest prince paused and bowed, "I don't know why my father asked my son to come here?"

"You all retreat!" Xue Hongze shouted back the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs, and suddenly only the eldest prince and him were left in the entire room.

"Don't provoke Ling Feng again in the future, go to Ling's house sometime and show your love to Ling Feng!"

Xue Hongze cut to the chase.

From the First Prince's collision with Ling Feng in Longyuan City, to his attempt to get rid of the latter with the help of the fugitives from the prison, to the fact that he brought people to the Ling family to make trouble, and sent people to ambush Ling Feng two days ago, everything None of the things escaped Xue Hongze's eyes and ears.

"Father!" The eldest prince looked at Xue Hongze with great reluctance, his face full of dissatisfaction. He is the eldest prince of the royal family, why should he condescend to show his favor to a mere Ling Feng?

Wouldn't that be self-deprecation! And others would mistakenly think that they were afraid of Ling Feng!

When the time comes, not only will his majesty be demolished, but he will also be ridiculed by his second child, so where is his face?

"The Qing and Ling families have formed an alliance, and the Qing family has attached themselves to your third brother, and even your confidant Zuo Yu has surrendered to Ling Feng. Haven't you seen the situation clearly? The current Ling Feng is not just coming to Longyuan. Ling Feng from the city. Even if you don’t go to the Ling’s house to show your affection, you don’t want to provoke him again in the future!”

Seeing the eldest prince's stubbornness, Xue Hongze was a little angry.

"This..." The eldest prince still hesitated, seeing Xue Hongze glaring at him displeasedly, he said unwillingly, "Yes, father! As long as Ling Feng doesn't fight against me again, I will let the past go!"

"Don't blame father, I did this for your own good. You will understand after a while." Xue Hongze said earnestly, then waved his hand, "Okay, you go down first. I'm tired It's time to rest."

"My son, leave!"

The eldest prince cupped his hands, bowed and retreated.

Leaving the imperial study room and walking towards his bedroom, recalling what his father said to him just now, the eldest prince was extremely upset along the way.

He didn't believe how much of a threat Ling Feng could pose to him?

No matter how strong you are, Ling Feng, you are only one person. If it weren't for the protection of the Imperial Forest Army and the Qing family, not only the Ling family would be ruined, but even Ling Feng himself would not be able to resist many of his masters!

Xue Hongze's warning not only did not dispel the Eldest Prince's hostility towards Ling Feng, but on the contrary strengthened the Eldest Prince's determination to get rid of Ling Feng!

On the way the eldest prince was walking back angrily, he happened to bump into the second prince, who was holding a paper fan, and walked towards him with a leisurely expression on his face.

"Brother Huang, I heard that your father summoned you just now. Is there something good about it? Is it because the Qing family is attached to you?"

The second prince gloated at his misfortune, seeing the angry face of the eldest prince, he asked knowingly.

Both of them had sent people to lobby over and over again, trying to win over the Qing family, but the Qing family remained unmoved and remained neutral.

But now that the third prince is a dude, he didn't waste any saliva. Instead, the huge Qing family decided to attach themselves to him.

You must know that the strength of the Qing family can definitely rank among the top three among all the families in Longyuan City. With the support of the Qing family, it will be of great help to seize the throne in the future!

This had to make the first prince and second prince's eyes turn red with envy.

"Hmph!" Seeing that the second prince asked the question knowingly, the eldest prince snorted coldly, ignored him, and walked straight to his bedroom.

Seeing the back of the first prince going away, the second prince sneered, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect that Ling Feng was really capable, and he was able to win over the old nobleman of the Qing family! Fortunately, I didn't provoke him at the beginning, otherwise it would have been enough to make me laugh." It's a headache."

"Let's fight, the harder you fight, the better! At that time, I can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

Thinking of this, the second prince's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile after the plot had succeeded, with a triumphant expression on his face.
