Tianxiang Tower.

Feng Qingjiu ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes.

Looking at the radiant woman sitting opposite him, Ye Xiuming spoke slowly:

"Ajiu, you must have something to ask me today!"

Ye Xiuming has now figured it out that the fairy-like woman in front of him would not like him.

So he came to see me today, I think there must be something.

Feng Qingjiu picked up the tea beside him and took a sip: "In fact, I always think that although your brain is not very good, you still know how to do things."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Xiuming's mouth twitched.

What do you mean by not having a good brain?

Am I stupid?

"Don't get me wrong, what I mean is that you can't turn around in some aspects." Feng Qingjiu explained hurriedly.

Just like a few days ago, no matter how I explained, he insisted that I liked him.

Ye Xiuming smiled slightly: "It's okay, so why did you come to me today...?"

Feng Qingjiu: "I'm very curious, why do you suddenly want to force my father to abdicate?"

"Logically speaking, now that Ah Mo is gone, shouldn't the position of Crown Prince be yours?"

"Why are you so desperate all of a sudden that you would do something like this?"

"I...!" Ye Xiuming didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Let me guess why!" Feng Qingjiu touched his chin and spoke slowly:

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Third Prince who came to tell you that the Emperor wants to make someone else the Crown Prince!"

Hearing this, Ye Xiuming's face was full of shock.

Looking at his expression, Feng Qingjiu knew that she was right.

Then he smiled slightly and continued, "Of course, you didn't believe his one-sided words. You investigated secretly and found that it was indeed as the Third Prince said."

"So you were very unwilling in your heart, so you activated your backup plan, which was to force your father to abdicate on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"How do you know?" Looking at the wise woman in front of him, Ye Xiuming's eyes were full of admiration.

I must have been mentally ill at the time, which was why I divorced her.

Feng Qingjiu raised his eyebrows: "I also know that you asked Zhui Ri and others to monitor the Fifth Prince's Mansion for several days and found that the Fifth Prince would write many secret letters and send them to the homes of various ministers every day."

"That's why you made up your mind to force your father to give up the throne."

"However, did you know that during the days when you had people monitor the Fifth Prince's Mansion, the Fifth Prince was not in the mansion at all but in Yihong Courtyard?"

"What did you say?" As soon as these words came out, Ye Xiuming felt his mind was extremely confused.

Lao Wu was not at home during those days, but Zhui Ri and the others clearly saw it!

Ye Xiuming has a thousand questions in his mind at this moment!

"You said Lao Wu wasn't in the mansion, so what did Zhui Ri and the others see?"

Feng Qingjiu said, "It was someone else pretending to be him, just to make you believe that the Fifth Prince really wants to be the Crown Prince."

"That man's minions have already infiltrated your brothers' palaces, just like he has spies in your palace."

Ye Xiuming still felt very confused at the moment!

"Ajiu... Oh no! Princess Rong, then according to you, the person behind the scenes is...?"

Feng Qingjiu nodded: "Yes, the Third Prince, it's him, he is the driving force behind everything."

Ye Xiuming's pupils dilated like an earthquake.

"It's actually the third brother?"

"But according to the Tiansheng ancestral system, the third child cannot become the crown prince."

"There's absolutely no reason for him to do that."

How come these two brothers have the same idea!

"Think about it, except for Ah Mo and you, the others among you brothers are mediocre in martial arts and other aspects."

"Although your martial arts skills are not high, only at the seventh level, you can still be considered a half-master! And your secret guards are all levelless, right?"

"I have reached the eighth level." Ye Xiuming corrected.

Feng Qingjiu: "So, if he gets rid of you two, it will be much easier for the Third Prince to rebel, right?"

"What, you mean the third brother wants to rebel?" Ye Xiuming stood up in surprise.

"This third brother usually looks like a scholar, but I never thought he has such a heart. It's so hateful."

Feng Qingjiu raised her eyes and said, "Calm down. Didn't you rebel yesterday as well? Although you didn't succeed."

"I...!" Ye Xiuming turned his head: "I'm different."

"What's the difference? Aren't they all for that position?" Feng Qingjiu made a gesture: "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Ye Xiuming sat back in his seat, his face full of anxiety.

Now that my eldest brother is gone and I have become a commoner, if the third brother really rebels, what will my father, the emperor and my mother do?

"Princess Rong, you need to tell my father about this as soon as possible."

"Now I have been demoted and cannot enter the palace. You have to go to the palace and tell father."

Feng Qingjiu: "No hurry...!"

"Sir, your dishes are here!" The waiter brought out plates of delicious food.

Feng Qingjiu: "Thank you...!"

"Eat quickly! Talk while you eat."

Looking at the food on the table, Ye Xiuming's hungry stomach protested again.

So he picked up the chopsticks and started eating with his head down.

"The food at Tianxianglou today is good and delicious, Princess Rong, you should try it too."

Feng Qingjiu shook his head: "I'm not hungry, you eat!"

Seeing the prince, who was usually so high and mighty, now become like this, Feng Qingjiu couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Falling from the peak to the bottom, he must have felt very bad!

But adults are responsible for their own choices.

"Princess Rong, do you have any plans in mind?" Ye Xiuming said while eating.

This woman is so smart. Since she has guessed that the third brother is going to rebel, she must have made all the preparations.

Feng Qingjiu shook his head: "I don't have any plans. I came here today just to confirm my guess with you."

"Ah, there is no plan. What if the third brother rebels tomorrow?" When Ye Xiuming thought of this possibility, the food in his mouth suddenly didn't taste good anymore.

"No, I will go to the palace now and tell my father to arrest the third brother first."

After Ye Xiuming finished speaking, he prepared to get up and leave.

"Why are you so nervous? Sit down." Feng Qingjiu scolded.

Ye Xiuming blinked and sat back in his seat obediently.

How can a grown man like him be so brainless and still be a prince?

"There must be someone behind the Third Prince, and this person is in the palace."

"If you tell Father now, won't that alert the enemy?"

"We have to make him reveal all his flaws first."

“Cousin…!” At this moment, a familiar female voice came from not far away.

The two looked up and saw Murong Xue standing not far away with red eyes.

“Cousin…!” Murong Xue rushed over and rushed directly into Ye Xiuming’s arms.

“Cousin…! Wuuwuwu…!”

Ye Xiuming reached out and patted the person in his arms on the back.

Feng Qingjiu stood up: "I'm leaving first, you guys can chat slowly."
