Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 214: Do You Think It’s Really Because They Care?

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Do You Think It’s Really Because They Care?

That night, Feng Yexuan hurried into the Imperial Palace.

"Prince, His Majesty has already retired to bed!" Eunuch Qing intercepted him all the way from the entrance of the royal sleeping quarters.

But, everyone knew that Prince Yexuan’s steps were not something ordinary people could stop.

Even His Majesty may not be able to stop him, let alone Eunuch Qing?

With a bang, Feng Yexuan pushed open the door of the bedroom and strode in.

His Majesty had just sat up, and a Palace Maid was dressing him.

Seeing Feng Yexuan burst in, His Majesty’s face darkened with displeasure, "What do you mean by this?"

This brat! Although he had always been arrogant and unruly, at least in his presence, he had shown some manners!

Now, he had even lost his manners!

"You really are becoming less sensible as you grow older!" True Qi!

Feng Yexuan was also angry.

However, in front of his own father, he knew to restrain himself a bit.

He clasped his fists in a salute, "I pay my respects to Father Emperor!"

Afterward, he immediately stepped forward, angrily shouting, "Get out!"

The Palace Maid by the side trembled with fear and hurriedly left.

It wasn’t even necessary to look at His Majesty’s face.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yexuan wishes to see you, and no one could stop..."

Eunuch Qing had not finished his words when he was rudely interrupted by Feng Yexuan, "You too, get out!"

Eunuch Qing glanced at His Majesty.

Feng Yexuan turned around sharply, grabbing the front of his clothes, "The Prince told you to get out, didn’t you hear? If those ears of yours are useless, how about I help you get rid of them?"

"P-Prince, this old servant... this old servant will leave right now."

Eunuch Qing’s legs went soft with fear.

Although the Prince showed respect to His Majesty and dared not do anything to His Majesty.

But, he was not His Majesty, he was just a servant.

Prince Yexuan showed no mercy to him!

He truly believed that if he angered the Prince, the Prince could kill him right in front of His Majesty without batting an eye.

Not even blinking an eye!

Eunuch Qing dared not to look at His Majesty’s expression any longer; bowing his head, trembling with fear, he really rolled away.

"What exactly do you want to do?" His Majesty also looked furious, glaring at Feng Yexuan, "Have you gone mad? You dare to be so impudent in my presence!"

"Your son doesn’t dare!"

He said he didn’t dare, but with that look of arrogance on his face, what was there he didn’t dare do?

"Where is she?" he asked coldly.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about," His Majesty was really feeling his dignity had been hurt.

Thankfully, except for Eunuch Qing, no one else in his sleeping quarters mattered much.

Later, he would take the few Palace Maids who had seen Prince Yexuan be insolent in front of him and have them executed, thus no one else would see this humiliating side of him.

Calculating in his heart, His Majesty finally showed a bit more patience and tolerance towards Feng Yexuan.

"Xuanxuan, your temper..."

"Where is she!" Feng Yexuan had no patience to listen to his preaching.

Leng Ji, that useless thing, she was in his hands yet she disappeared!

After inquiring, it turned out she had been summoned into the palace by his father, and it had already been half a day!

The previous half-day had been wasted on Feng Qihe.

He knew that Feng Qihe had seen Chu Qianli, but he never expected that the person who took Chu Qianli away in the end was his father’s man.

"Your son doesn’t want to waste any more time, Father Emperor, if anything happens to her, the one hundred thousand troops stationed at Yitie City will immediately withdraw!"

"What did you say?" His Majesty stood up abruptly.

He never dreamed that one day, his own son would use this to threaten him!

He could tolerate Feng Yexuan’s willfulness and impudence, but how could he tolerate his son being so disobedient for a woman!

"You’ve really gone mad! You would actually break with your father over a woman! Do you no longer wish to be the Prince?"

He pointed at Feng Yexuan, his fingertip trembling violently!

"Tell me, are you plotting to harm your Emperor Father, wanting to rebel?"

Being too agitated, the Emperor’s face turned completely purplish-red.

"Your son dare not," Feng Yexuan still had no expression on his face, "I only ask Father Emperor to tell his son, where is Lili now?"

"What is there that you dare not do!"

It’s just a mere woman, after all.

The Emperor truly hadn’t expected that for the sake of a woman, he could be driven to such madness!

"What if I simply refuse to relent, what would you do then?"

"Does Father Emperor truly not wish to tell me?" Feng Yexuan looked at him.

Those indifferent eyes, filled with coldness.

"Yitie City was never supposed to be under my jurisdiction. Three years ago, when my hundred-thousand-strong army was stationed there, Father Emperor said that the four of us princes were each to guard for two years."

"Being the fourth in line, it should have been Loyal Brother’s army that took up the post first. I will withdraw my forces now, freeing up the spot for Loyal Brother!"

Since he was unwilling to relent, further discussion was pointless.

With his power, finding Chu Qianli was not difficult.

Coming here was simply to avoid wasting time.

After all, an investigation also required time.

He just wanted to find that woman as quickly as possible.

But if the Emperor was unwilling to relent, he would have to search for her in his own way.

Yet he couldn’t allow the Emperor to meddle with his people as he pleased.

Withdrawing his troops was a warning to the Emperor!

His people, those of Feng Yexuan, were not to be touched!

Feng Yexuan turned and left.

The Emperor was so angry that he beat his hands against his feet, nearly fainting from rage.

Never before had anyone dared to be so presumptuous in front of him!

"Guards!"

A group of guards rushed in.

Feng Yexuan paused his steps, turned his head to look at him, his cold and merciless eyes narrowing.

The Emperor was so infuriated, he wished he could strangle himself.

"Out!"

The guards immediately retreated.

The entire side hall was silent, deathly quiet.

The air the Emperor had been choking on slowly eased after a long, long time.

He took a deep breath and finally managed to calm down slightly.

Watching Feng Yexuan’s gaze, his anger subsided by more than half.

"My health is failing. I will soon have to choose my successor. Is it appropriate for you to trouble me at this time?"

He looked at Feng Yexuan with a mix of helplessness and heartache.

"Since ancient times, those who become kings must not have any weaknesses. Xuanxuan, by revealing your weakness before me, are you truly so confident?"

He had long taught his sons that within the Imperial Family, the least trustworthy thing was kinship.

He never concealed this point in front of his sons.

They all knew it well.

Even in a father-son relationship, they need not necessarily avoid becoming enemies someday.

"For the sake of a woman, you’re so disrespectful towards me. Once this gets out, you won’t be able to live in peace in the future."

"Heh," Feng Yexuan let out a cold laugh, unconcerned, "Does Father Emperor really think what I did today is because I care too much about Chu Qianli?"

The Emperor looked at him, silent.

If he didn’t care, why would he use a hundred-thousand-strong army to threaten him?

But Feng Yexuan laughed even colder, "What I care about is the lack of respect Father Emperor has for his son! If I were to give in this time, in the days to come, Father Emperor would be even more presumptuous, doing whatever he pleases in front of me!"
