C139 (1/2)
Inside the Emperor's bedchamber, Xuanyuan Mocheng stood in front of everyone with a cold expression.
”You bunch of gluttons, have you forgotten about it when you were trying to pull me out?”
Seeing that all of the officials had pointed their fingers at him, Xuanyuan Mocheng could not help but let out a bitter laugh.
When the crowd heard him, they did not dare to speak anymore, afraid that Xuanyuan Mocheng would reveal their identity.
”How dare you!”
The Emperor sat up on the bed and stared at Xuanyuan Mocheng sinisterly.
”father, I shall call you father one last time. Do you want to kill your prince?”
Xuanyuan Mocheng only wanted to give himself a chance of survival, as he stared at the emperor's face with tears in his eyes.
”You really make us sad. father has always regarded you highly, yet you want to kill your father!”
The emperor's eyes were moist as well, but within his tears flashed a hint of viciousness.
”I have no choice, I must sit on that throne!”
Even though Xuanyuan Mocheng was at the end of his road, he was still ambitious. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the emperor's face.
”Could it be that being an emperor is more important than the relationship between us father and son?”
The emperor rarely showed any expression of sadness in front of the officials, but today, he almost shed tears.
”Affection? Hehe, compared to the throne, it's practically worthless! ”
Xuanyuan Mocheng was extremely excited, his eyes filled with a look of despair that made people's heart ache.
”If you want to kill me then kill me! Without the throne, I don't care even if I die!”
Xuanyuan Mocheng always gave people the feeling that he was gentle and refined, but right now, he was filled with killing intent.
”Alright, father will help you!”
The emperor bellowed, he was prepared to give the order to kill Xuanyuan Mocheng!
Xuanyuan Mocheng closed his eyes lightly, as if he was sensing the arrival of death.
”Your Majesty, I beg you to bypass the life of the Second Prince.”
Suddenly, a resolute voice with a hint of elegance sounded from the crowd. It was a crisp and clear voice. Everyone turned to look at that person.
The person who pleaded for Xuanyuan Mocheng was actually Qin Feng.
”Qin Feng, what are you doing?!”
Xuanyuan Zhiling frowned, jealousy in his heart.
”Your Majesty, it was not on impulse that Qin Feng said those words.”
Qin Feng's tone was extremely decisive and determined, as she knelt in front of the emperor with eyes full of emotion.
The emperor's eyes flashed with surprise. He thought that Qin Feng hated Xuanyuan Mocheng to the core, but he never expected that Qin Feng would actually be the first one to come forward and plead for mercy.
”Qin Feng, why did you plead for him?”
The emperor asked the same question that Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to ask.
”Your majesty, the Second Prince is your prince after all, not to mention, the Emperor only needs to imprison him to prevent him from causing trouble, so why should we kill him?”
Qin Feng's words struck right into Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart.
Could it be that she couldn't bear to part with that fellow?
”I also want to kill my own son, but this unfilial son is simply outrageous. Even if I don't kill him, he will kill me!”
When the Emperor said this, his voice contained despair and rage.
”But Your Majesty, he couldn't kill you after all. Please …”
Qin Feng pleaded for Xuanyuan Mocheng again and again. Xuanyuan Mocheng opened his eyes and looked at Qin Feng.
”Qin Feng, are you unwilling to part with me?”
Xuanyuan Mocheng smiled, which was an extremely satisfied smile.
Qin Feng didn't even look at Xuanyuan Mocheng, and only lowered her head to beg the emperor.
”I knew you had me in your heart.”
Xuanyuan Mocheng finally shed tears and looked at Qin Feng lovingly.
The emperor sighed, his eyes catching sight of the black faced Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”Regardless of why you're pleading for mercy on his behalf, I still feel that your words are reasonable.”
The emperor's gaze shifted from Qin Feng to Xuanyuan Mocheng, and a complicated expression flashed across his eyes.
”Number four, what do you think about this matter?”
The emperor suddenly asked about Xuanyuan Zhiling. Xuanyuan Zhiling was originally absent-minded, but after being asked by the emperor, his entire body shivered.
”Reporting to father, this son will listen to whatever father says.”
At this time, Wen Yahan, who was standing beside Xuanyuan Mocheng, had already been taken down. At this moment, she had a nervous expression as she looked at everything that was happening in front of her.
”Men, take this Wen Yahan away first and send him back to the Soaring Wind Kingdom. We want to ask them clearly what they mean!”
In order to avoid a great battle between the Phantom Fire Kingdom, the Emperor still decided to return Wen Yahan to his homeland before negotiating with him.
”Also, come here, take Second Prince to my Thousand Wind Pavilion, we will never let him out!”
The emperor's words immediately shook everyone, because it meant that Xuanyuan Mocheng was going to be imprisoned for his entire life.
”Thank you, your majesty, for your kindness.”
When Qin Feng heard this, she immediately bowed to the emperor, causing Xuanyuan Zhiling, who was standing behind him, to be quite displeased.
”Qin Feng, your words are more than enough for me to persevere for a lifetime.”
Before Xuanyuan Mocheng was brought away, he looked at Qin Feng with deep affection, and spoke leisurely.
Qin Feng watched Xuanyuan Mocheng's back as he was taken away by the soldiers from afar, his heart was filled with complicated emotions, but she clearly realized that she wasn't sad.
Time was the best antidote. No matter what happened, under the washing of time, it would always return to peace.
Xuanyuan Zhiling walked out of the palace with a darkened face, not paying any attention to Qin Feng at all.
”Have a cup of tea, I know you're thirsty.”
Qin Feng walked into the main hall of the Duke Palace and came to the table to pour Xuanyuan Zhiling a cup of tea.
”What you should do now is not to pour tea for me, but to go to the Thousand Wind Pavilion to see if the Second brother is thirsty.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling obviously had something in his words, causing him to be slightly startled.
”Why are you like a child?”
Qin Feng chuckled, she couldn't help but feel that Xuanyuan Zhiling was playing with a child's temper.
”You're right, only a kid like me would be fooled by you!”
Xuanyuan Zhiling suddenly stood up and glared at Qin Feng. Qin Feng was also shocked.
”What's wrong with you?” To think that I would pour you a cup of tea out of goodwill! ”
