”Are you worthy of Qin Feng doing this?!”
This was the first time in Xuanyuan Yufeng's life he spoke to Xuanyuan Zhiling without restraint. Xuanyuan Zhiling had always been his most respected Fourth Brother.
Xuanyuan Zhiling stared at Xuanyuan Yufeng in shock. In his memory, this was also the first time Xuanyuan Yufeng had questioned him in a questioning tone.
”Is this how you talk to me?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling frowned and asked, his fists under his hands were clenched tightly.
”Qin Feng loves you so much, yet you do not know how to cherish her!”
Xuanyuan Yufeng asked loudly. It could be seen that he did not regret his attitude just now at all.
”Whether I treasure it or not is between us. It has nothing to do with you!”
Xuanyuan Zhiling said coldly, his gaze already moved to another direction, and he was unwilling to give Xuanyuan Yufeng another glance.
”I am just feeling sorry for Qin Feng, is that not okay too?!”
Xuanyuan Yufeng's attitude could be said to be extremely vile.
”Don't forget, I'm the crown prince now. I have the authority to punish you!”
Xuanyuan Zhiling shouted in anger, his nails almost piercing the skin and digging into the flesh.
Xuanyuan Yufeng was slightly startled by these words, and a trace of disappointment quickly flashed across his face.
”Hmph, that's right. You are now the crown prince. You can punish your own brothers.”
The corner of Xuanyuan Yufeng's mouth carried a trace of a bitter smile.
”Do you really think I don't dare?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling turned and stared deadly at Xuanyuan Yufeng.
”I don't dare. If you want to punish me, then I have nothing to say!”
Xuanyuan Yufeng wasn't afraid in the slightest, because he was doing it for Qin Feng. As long as he thought of this woman, he wasn't afraid of anything.
”Alright, for Qin Feng's sake, you are willing to throw caution to the wind.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling chuckled, a complicated expression on his face.
”What do you mean?”
Xuanyuan Yufeng heard the hidden meaning in Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, and frowned as he asked.
”Do you really think I don't know? You've always loved Qin Feng. ”
When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, he intentionally stared at Xuanyuan Yufeng. He could clearly see that the moment he said the truth, Xuanyuan Yufeng's eyes slightly shifted away.
Xuanyuan Yufeng let out a deep sigh. Xuanyuan Zhiling could even clearly hear the trembling of his breathing.
”That's right, you're right. I have always loved Qin Feng, until now.”
Xuanyuan Yufeng said out the thoughts in his heart without hiding anything.
”Therefore, I've come today for …”
For some reason, after Xuanyuan Yufeng told the truth, he seemed like a deflated ball, and suddenly lost all confidence.
”You came here today to demand an explanation for Qin Feng, right?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling's tone slightly softened, but his heart was empty.
”That's right, I came here today to ask you, are you really going to marry that woman?”
Xuanyuan Yufeng's expression carried a hint of complex emotions, as he stared intently at Xuanyuan Zhiling, as if he was trying to find the real answer in his eyes.
”That's right, I said it already, I'm betrothed to this woman.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling turned his back, as if he didn't want Xuanyuan Yufeng to see his expression.
”Alright, then don't you plan to look for Qin Feng?”
Xuanyuan Yufeng gritted his teeth and asked angrily. At the moment, he really did not understand what Xuanyuan Zhiling was thinking about.
Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed softly, a complicated expression on his face.
”Qin Feng, Qin Feng must be very sad …”
Xuanyuan Zhiling's voice was very soft, and this was the first time Xuanyuan Yufeng had spoken without any confidence.
”Is there even a need to ask? I just want to ask you, are you going to look for Qin Feng? ”
Xuanyuan Yufeng asked in a questioning tone, his expression carrying traces of ice.
”Qin Feng will be fine, she will be back by then.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling didn't see the expression on his face, but the tone of his voice sounded slightly complicated.
”Fine, if you don't want to look for it, I'll go. Even if I do find it, I won't return it to you!”
When Xuanyuan Yufeng said this, he had already left the Duke Palace and did not even turn around.
Xuanyuan Zhiling stood in front of the window and watched Xuanyuan Yufeng walk out. His eyes were filled with tears.
”To be my, Xuanyuan Zhiling's, woman, you won't even be able to take such grievances, you don't have to look for me.”
As Xuanyuan Zhiling spoke, his expression revealed traces of bitterness.
”Your Highness, the Fifth Prince has left. He wants me to tell you …”
The butler stood behind Xuanyuan Zhiling and spoke carefully, but as he spoke, he hesitated.
”Don't hesitate, just say it.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling said in a cold voice, causing the butler to be slightly startled when he heard this.
”Fifth Prince told me to tell you that he would definitely find his and take her away from you.”
When the butler said this, his voice was as soft as a mosquito's. He was afraid that he would anger Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”Hmph, that will depend on whether he has the ability to do so.”
Xuanyuan Zhiling said indifferently, as if he was not the least bit worried, but there was still a little bit of weakness in the complicated expression on his face.
”My prince, why don't we find the wangfei and bring her back?”
The butler very rarely expressed his opinion on Xuanyuan Zhiling's matter, but this time, he advised Xuanyuan Zhiling.
”Then it's decided. I asked you to send the letter to father to the palace. Did you send it?”
Xuanyuan Zhiling asked coldly, the butler sighed lightly and nodded: ”It was sent in.”
In the palace, the emperor was lying on the dragon bed, holding a letter that Xuanyuan Zhiling wrote to the emperor.
”Your majesty, the crown prince has sent someone to say that he has important matters to attend to. They are all in this letter.”
Before the decree had been issued, Eunuch Li had already changed his mind.
”Eunuch Li, you understand my intentions. You've already changed your mind before the edict was read out?”
As the Emperor opened the envelope, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Eunuch Li.
