C420 Feng Qings Purpose (1/2)
”Purpose?” Mu Ru Yue was slightly shocked.
”As the crown prince, I should do something that would benefit the people. Do you think that... Why are there so many slaves in Peony City? ” Feng Qing asked. Mu Ru Yue shook her head. She hadn't even been to Peony City, so how could she know about this?
”There is a connection between the Hollow Valley and the Peony City. Most of Peony City's slaves came from the Hollow Valley. The people within the Void Valley didn't even have the slightest bit of humanity to treat others. I have seen countless tragedies brought about by this organization, the Hollow Valley.
This time, I have come to the Peony City so that I can follow along with the flow of the vines and feel the melons. ”
Feng Qing said.
When Mu Ru Yue heard this, she understood. It was said that Feng Qing was prepared to contend for the throne. Since he wanted to contend for the throne, he had to put the other person down. As the crown prince, Feng Qing's best course of action was to quickly achieve some results.
Hollow Valley was the best result.
If he could destroy the Void Valley, then Feng Qing's authority in the imperial court would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
This person … He really wanted to be the emperor?
As she thought about it, Mu Ru Yue looked at Feng Qing with a complicated expression. ”Your Highness is a completely lonely person in my eyes. He won't be moved by the secular world and he won't be bothered by money.
Your Highness... ”He really can't give up his power?”
Mu Ru Yue's tone was filled with curiosity.
When Feng Qing heard that,he looked at Mu Ru Yue in surprise. After that, she smiled. ”I didn't expect that I would be this good in your eyes. However … Most of the time, people fought not for power but for power.
What I want is not power, but only if I get power can I get what I want.
I am not a saint after all.
Perhaps one day in the future, I will regret what I have done today. However, I do not want to regret it at this moment. This is also the first time I have ever wanted something so urgently. ”
Feng Qing's voice was faint. Mu Ru Yue listened to what Feng Qing said with a slightly moved heart. However, he didn't say anything else.
Very soon, Tao Er and Yun'er returned. As for Yun'er, she went inside to guard the carriage. The flames seemed to want to burn away all the filth in this place. However, the appearance of Hong Sanniang had cast a shadow over Murong Yue's heart.
If Xing'er really did return as the Holy Maiden one day and wanted her life, what then?
Mu Ru Yue didn't want to think about it. Because... She would not give up her life for the sake of a sisterly relationship, nor would she compromise anything for the sake of guilt. If there really was a day, perhaps she wouldn't hesitate to kill Xing'er.
However, it was because of this that she didn't want any day to come.
If it was possible, she could only hope that Xing'er would live a peaceful life and that they would never meet again.
After this inn, they would be on the official road the entire way. On the road, they could even see carriages heading towards the Peony City just like their own carriages. Most of these carriages had good eyesight and could tell which family Feng Qing's carriage belonged to.
Therefore, wherever they went, it would cause waves of astonishment. There were even some who dared to directly block their way to pay respects to the Crown Prince. However, they were all rejected by Feng Qing. However, no matter how he rejected it.
The crown prince heading for Peony City was still as open as ever to the ears of the crowd.
On the third day, when Feng Qing and the rest arrived at Peony City, many people already knew about it.
Peony City was one of the twelve cities that came in the coming month. In this city, there were countless peonies, and as a result, it was known as the Peony City. A group of people were lined up in front of Peony City, waiting to enter the city under the scorching sun.
And today, no matter who it was, they could only walk to the side through the small door. That was because the main door was reserved for the Crown Prince, who had been sent to Peony City.
”Wang... Miss, you said the Hall... Why did the young master have to go this way? ”They even set the carriage on fire?” Yun Er whispered to Mu Ru Yue at the back of the queue. Mu Ru Yue's mind was about to explode as she faced the great sun.
Why?
She really wanted to know as well!
