In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 614: Chapter 597: Proceeding with the Covert Plan_1

Qin Yi could clearly see that his actions, though seemingly reckless, bore significant implications.

Although Fei’er is rightfully the heir apparent currently, his tender age serves as his fatal flaw. Even with the full support of Imperial Consort Hua, the Hua family, and the Ye family, his age is invariably his Achilles’ heel!

If he cannot suppress Prince Xuan’s menacing arrogance today and allows him to rise in dominance, his status as the crown prince may be reduced to a mere puppet. Worse still, he might be replaced by Prince Xuan. When that time comes...

Looking at Prince Xuan’s apparently frenzied demeanor, but with eyes blazing with clarity, it is clear that he’s putting on a show!

With this conclusion, Qin Yi decided to step forward decisively, standing firmly by the Crown Prince’s side. As he opened his mouth to make a prophecy, he was pulled back by Fei’er.

"Royal Brother, this is our father’s decree. Do you intend to defy and disrespect it? I implore you to maintain your dignity, and not forget your identity. You are Prince Xuan of our Great Zhou Dynasty, a pillar of our nation!"

"The Emperor? Humph!"

Prince Xuan acted as if he had lost his mind, accusing wildly, "In my eyes, our father has also been deceived. He doesn’t see who is truly the most suitable heir."

"The suitability is not something that can be determined by a simple explanation from you, Royal Brother."

Though Fei’er was young, he carried an air of grandeur and calmness, "There’s a good saying: ’Never underestimate the youth for their poverty or their age! A golden carp isn’t an ordinary object in a pond, once a storm comes, it will transform into a dragon. The dragon’s roar will ascend into the heavens and bring about tremendous changes. Immense momentum shouldn’t be underestimated, words shouldn’t be said completely, blessings shouldn’t be enjoyed fully, and norms and regulations shouldn’t be followed excessively, everything that is too perfect or too complete will bring about an early end. Royal Brother, you have lost sight of the essence of things!"

"You..."

The reason why Prince Xuan intentionally stirred up trouble at this particular time was that he was certain about the vulnerabilities caused by the crown prince’s young age. First, he would suppress him with overwhelming pressure, then manipulate him with incisive words, ending with an attempt to humiliate him.

His purpose was to establish his authority in front of the civil and military officials, laying a foundation for his future rebellion.

Exactly! He would never just give up! In his life, the word "give up" doesn’t exist. Even though his dominance had already faded, he would never abandon his pursuit!

However, he didn’t expect that his eighth brother would possess such courage!

No wonder the old man had chosen to support him as the heir!

Thinking about this, he suddenly squinted his eyes and sneered teasingly, "It’s admirable how you, my younger brother, despite your tender age, can cite the classics so aptly. But don’t think that being appointed by our father makes you the rightful heir. Remember the precedent set by our former crown prince. Let’s see what happens!"

Once finished, he abruptly turned around, beckoning to Qin Ru and others standing behind him, "Humph, let’s go!"

He then stormed off, leading the others away.

The people left behind exchanged looks, casting surreptitious glances at the Eighth Prince - who is now the Crown Prince.

Various thoughts filled their minds.

Fei’er, the eighth prince, casually smiled and circled his gaze around before speaking out, "Although I, Qin Feimo, am young now, I will grow up! I will definitely learn the ways of governance diligently and I will not let everyone down!"

Several people, headed by the Left Deputy, hurriedly bowed down, "Your Highness should not belittle himself. We all believe in you, and more so in His Majesty’s discerning vision."

The crowd quickly echoed in agreement.

Thereafter were sounds of chit-chat and laughter, and some people could not resist flattering Fei’er.

Since the palace banquet had ended, and no one would linger for a long time in the Imperial Garden. As laughter and chatting filled the air, numerous officials took their family members and returned home.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er also left the Imperial Garden. Fei’er initially wanted to retain Qin Yi, but was stopped by him.

"Now that your Highness has become the rightful heir, there are many spies in the palace. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to stay too long here. Just proceed according to the plan."

Marquis Qin, you’re quite right."

Only then did Fei’er nod seriously, and again he bowed to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er were greatly surprised and quickly stepped aside, "What is this for, Your Highness?"

"Without your full support, I, Feimo, wouldn’t have made it this far."

Fei’er said earnestly, "This isn’t the right place to talk, and I can’t say much more here. But the promise I, Feimo, made to the two of you earlier, I will surely fulfill in the future, please rest assured."

"Your Highness is too serious!"

Qin Yi quickly responded, "The two of us are the ones Your Highness personally uplifted, and we will naturally be willing to shoulder burdens on your behalf. However, although Prince Xuan’s words were not pleasant, he did speak one truth. Your Highness mustn’t slack off just because you’ve ascended to this position. Our current situation is far more serious than before!"

In the past, there were several princes and their sons vying for the crown prince’s position, watching and checking each other constantly. Now that he has ascended to the position of Crown Prince, their focus will naturally shift to this nine-year-old Crown Prince and his situation is indeed perilous.

Qin Yi then proceeded to give detailed instructions. Seeing that it was getting late, the two finally left the palace.

Unexpectedly, just as they stepped out of the palace gate, they saw Prince Xuan still standing at the gate from afar, evidently waiting for them.

Moreover, quite a few officials were standing on both sides, all showing a watching-the-show attitude, and some quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly slipped away.

As Prince Xuan saw them approaching, he narrowed his eyes. However, Qin Yi and Su Pan’er simply walked past him as if they hadn’t seen him, which drastically changed his expression!

"Marquis Qin, you should know why I was waiting here today. Today, I demand an answer from you! Are you going to follow me or not?"

He cursed inwardly; this was all because of that useless Qin Hong!

He had told him long ago to secure this man, but even after so long, they had accomplished nothing. Even in the matter of that little brat becoming heir, who knows what kind of effort he had put in!

Qin Yi frowned. He hadn’t thought that at this point, Prince Xuan would still refuse to give up, and insisted on making things difficult.

"This is amusing."

Su Pan’er, who had been silent until now, suddenly laughed, "It seems like we have rejected Prince Xuan countless times, haven’t we? Prince Xuan, your relentless pursuit, do you intend to undermine the Crown Prince?"

"Impudent! Who do you think you are?"

Prince Xuan was already angry. As Su Pan’er finished speaking, he completely lost control of his anger and exploded, "Heh, you’re nothing more than a dog someone keeps. When you were fawning over my son Qin Hong, how come you turned around and climbed onto a higher branch instantly, and turned against me?"
