The Crown Prince … really intervened?
To Zhao Feiyue, this news was like music from the heavens. She could save herself and Li Chengfeng from having to flee for their lives.
But to Fang Rushan, this news was an earth-shattering disaster!
"That's impossible!" Fang Rushan screamed. He stared at the newcomer and gritted his teeth, "I want to see the gold medal!"
The newcomer was none other than the leader of the Crown Prince's guards. He rode his horse over and threw the gold medal at Fang Rushan.
Fang Rushan caught the gold medal and glanced at it. The words' Crown Prince's Edict 'were written on it. It was glittering in gold and there was an anti-counterfeiting seal on the back. It could not be faked.
But Fang Rushan refused to believe it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Men, take him down. He is guilty of falsifying the Crown Prince's edict!"
Everyone around him was in despair. It looked like Fang Rushan was prepared to go all the way, so they had no choice but to follow him to the end!
The blood guards braced themselves and surrounded the leader of the Crown Prince's guards. Just as they were about to take him down, they suddenly heard a voice, "Oh?
Does my words count? "
Everyone was shocked. They looked towards the source of the voice and saw an imposing man dismount from his horse. He was looking at Fang Rushan with a faint smile.
Fang Rushan stood rooted to the ground as if he was struck by lightning. The blood guards around him heaved a sigh of relief and knelt down, "Your Highness!"
Zhao Feiyue noticed a woman in white standing next to the Crown Prince. She had a red plum blossom on her forehead. It was Liu Sumei.
Zhao Feiyue looked at Liu Sumei curiously. She did not understand how Liu Sumei managed to convince her stubborn Third Brother to go against his own principles and save a sensitive person like Li Chengfeng.
Zhao Feiyue hid her curiosity and knelt down on one knee. She saluted Zhao Hanqing, "Your Highness!"
Zhao Feiyue purposely emphasized the words' Your Highness', as if she was reminding Fang Rushan.
Fang Rushan's expression changed several times. He was sweating profusely and trembling all over, as if he was going through the most painful struggle of his life.
If Zhao Hanqing had enmity with Fang Rushan, he could have just watched from the side for a while. He could guarantee that Fang Rushan would collapse on his own, and Zhao Hanqing's dignity would also be completely destroyed by his own hands.
However, Zhao Hanqing was not an ordinary person. He smiled and stepped forward, his smile like a gentle breeze. "Commander Fang's dedication to your duty is admirable!
If Da Qi's generals and soldiers were all like Commander Fang, our Da Qi's borders would not have to worry about injustice! "
Fang Rushan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. The invisible mountain that had been pressing on his back to the point of collapse suddenly disappeared. But he could not hold on any longer. He cupped his hands and was about to kneel down. But the Crown Prince held him up and said, "Hey, the armor is on, no need to be so polite!
Did Commander Fang bring Li Chengfeng to the prison to investigate the case of the Major Star Officer's assassination? "
Fang Rushan's heart tightened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty is personally involved in this matter. I cannot disobey His Majesty's orders. Please forgive me!"
The surrounding Blood Guards and Vice Commanders were all in despair. They felt that Fang Rushan was a blockhead. Now that the Crown Prince had stepped in, he didn't take the opportunity to push the blame away. Instead, he wanted to take the blame!
The Crown Prince was not angry. "Of course I know.
The Major Star Officer's assassination has never happened in the five hundred years of Da Qi's existence!
This matter must be investigated to the end. No matter who it is, they must be brought to justice!
But … Li Chengfeng is not a suspect! "
Fang Rushan looked up, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the Crown Prince. "Your Highness, you dare to vouch for me?!"
This was a serious matter!
If the Crown Prince vouched for Li Chengfeng, he would be tying his political life to Li Chengfeng's!
The Crown Prince would only do this if he was crazy!
The Crown Prince smiled. "I'm not vouching for you …"
Fang Rushan heaved a sigh of relief. That was more like it. If the Crown Prince vouched for Li Chengfeng, then all the attention would be focused on Li Chengfeng. Because as long as he tarnished Li Chengfeng's reputation, it was the same as tarnishing the Crown Prince's reputation!
He was not saving Li Chengfeng, he was harming Li Chengfeng! At the same time, he was harming himself!
But then, the Crown Prince said, "I'm here to be Li Chengfeng's witness."
Fang Rushan's jaw dropped. "Huh?!"
The Crown Prince smiled. "The night the Major Star Officer was assassinated, Li Chengfeng was definitely not the assassin!"
Fang Rushan stammered, "Your Highness … how did you know?
Could it be … "
The Crown Prince nodded. "That's right, Li Chengfeng and I were talking through the night!"
Fang Rushan and the rest of the blood guards were so shocked their hair stood on end!
F * ck!
This was breaking news!
This was a political nuclear bomb!
Li Chengfeng did not just represent himself!
When the Crown Prince was assassinated, Li Chengfeng could be said to have been there by coincidence, especially when he left on his own. That was why the Fourth Prince personally came to recruit him.
But now, Li Chengfeng was openly siding with the Crown Prince!
The Crown Prince, who had always been a firm supporter of weakening the cultivators, was now playing with them!
The sun had risen from the west!
What did this mean?
This meant that Da Qi was about to undergo a major reshuffle!
The Crown Prince's biggest weakness was that he did not have the support of many cultivation sects!
But this time, Li Chengfeng was the leader of the Spiritual Mountain Sect's disciples. His stance would definitely be interpreted as the Spiritual Mountain Sect's stance!
This was the third most powerful sect in the cultivation world!
Then, they thought about the people standing behind Li Chengfeng. First, it was Zhao Feiyue, then Liu Sumei from the Phoenix Hibiscus Court!
Did this mean that the reincarnated Golden Immortal Zhao Feiyue was officially on the Crown Prince's side? Even the Phoenix Hibiscus Court, which had never interfered with worldly affairs, was taking a side?
If that was the case, the Crown Prince had immediately made up for his weakest link!
With the help of the Spiritual Mountain Sect and the Phoenix Hibiscus Court, the Crown Prince's power would be unprecedentedly strong!
The political stalemate between the Fourth and Third Princes would immediately be broken!
No one knew what would happen next!
Would the Third Prince act in desperation or would the Emperor, who was always on the throne, intervene?
The people who worked in the capital were all political creatures, and they were extremely sensitive.
They knew that the political situation in the Divine Capital had officially changed!
And all of this was because of Li Chengfeng!
At this point, even if Fang Rushan was an idiot, he knew when to stop. He cupped his fists and bowed. "If that's the case, I will release him!
I was just doing my job, please forgive me, Your Highness! "
Zhao Hanqing smiled. "Of course!"
Fang Rushan turned around. "Release him!"
His subordinates all heaved a huge sigh of relief, as if they had just been pardoned. They finally did not have to die with Fang Rushan. It felt great to be alive!
When Zhao Feiyue saw Li Chengfeng being escorted out by the nervous blood guards, she panicked when she saw his grey eyes. She immediately pounced on him. "Gong … Gong, are you alright?
Are you alright? "
Li Chengfeng's own vision had not recovered but he could see his surroundings clearly through the eyes of the puppets. Zhao Feiyue had destroyed one of the terrifying arrow towers. It was obvious that she had risked everything to save him.
Li Chengfeng was not a cold-hearted person. Touched, he patted her hand and smiled. "I'm fine!"
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Hanqing and bowed with a complicated expression. "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me!"
