Feng Yege listened expressionlessly and after he finished speaking, slowly spoke.
âIf it wasnât out of consideration for the old prince, I wouldâve struck her already.â
âYes, yes, yes.â
âBut as the imperial prince Zong has mentioned my father, then Iâll have to give you some face, but âŠâ
The imperial prince Zong shuddered, âNight Prince, please speak.â
âFrom now on, whenever Miss Lou is, the Countess of Chaoxia must retreat and avoid her. Is it possible for the imperial prince to do so?â
âThat is, of course, of course! Iâll definitely do it when I get back.â
âGood, now that thatâs done. Thereâs one more thing thatâs been proving a difficulty, I donât know if the imperial prince Zong could me out?â
The imperial prince Zong froze, there was something that the Night Prince couldnât accomplish?
âCould I ask, what it is?â
âOh, itâs nothing really. Itâs just that the emperorâs been on this throne for quite and while and still hasnât set up a crown prince. Who does the imperial prince feel is most suitable for the role of the crown prince?â
âThat ⊠this prince doesnât know.â
He didnât normally interfere with his royal brotherâs way of thinking.
In fact, in this current court, the most suitable person would be the second prince and it normally wouldâve been his without a question.
But then this consort Ning came out of nowhere, bewitched his royal brother, cried and howled, threatening to commit suicide.
Royal brother doted on her and suddenly wasnât willing to set the second prince as the crown prince.
For the sake of protecting himself, the imperial prince Zong, had only watched from the sidelines.
But after this reminder from the Night Prince, he thought, did he suddenly want to enter the race for the crown prince?
But his ident.i.ty was âŠ
âNight Prince, what do you mean?â
Feng Yege slowly stood up, his whole person elegant, giving off an almost unreal feeling.
âMy meaning is that, in a few days, Su Gelao and the old general will recommend a person. At that time, I hope that the imperial prince Zong would also be able to approve. Do you understand?â
The imperial prince Zong froze and immediately agreed. âUnderstood.â
It seems like this courtâs power balance was about to be irrevocably changed.
When the imperial prince Zong walked out of the Night Princeâs residence, his whole silk brocade robe was soaked in sweat.
When the housekeeper saw him outside, he immediately pulled a short stool over and lifted up the carriageâs curtain.
The imperial prince Zong bent at the waist to enter, but couldnât help but take a second look at the Night Prince residenceâs sign.
He sighed, unable to decide whether his choice was correct.
The housekeeper by the side saw he walked in and immediately removed the stool.
He was unable to help himself but ask, âPrince, why are you so afraid of this Night Prince? Heâs just a hereditary prince, his position isnât as high as yours, so âŠâ
âDonât say this ever again. You wouldnât understand.â
That personâs ident.i.ty, how could it be so simple as to just being a hereditary prince âŠ
A low sigh slowly disappeared into the night.
He just didnât know, why would this Night Prince, who never bothered with Dongyu countryâs court, suddenly intervene in this affair?
Once the Night Prince decided to intervene, then the person that he supported, would definitely rapidly rise to finally sit on the throne.
He just hoped that there wouldnât be any unexpected incidences.
In the next few days, the court started to become restless, everyone started to feel panicky.
By this time, the annual rose hibiscus festival had come and those n.o.ble girls and officialâs daughters with the palace tablets, would rise bright and early to do their makeup to get ready to enter the palace.
It wasnât known what Lou Qufeng did but he managed to somehow get another palace tablet.
So that early morning, Lou Qingwu brought the third sister Lou Yunâer, who she hadnât since sheâd come back to the Lou residence, to Kunning palace and into the reception pavilion.

TL note:
Hereditary prince - Feng Yegeâs quite obviously not the son of the emperor, instead, the son of a previous Night Prince. When the old prince (his father) died, Feng Yege inherited his t.i.tle which also means that in everyone elseâs eyes, he didnât do anything to achieve this t.i.tle and simply inherited his n.o.bility and rank without royal blood like the imperial prince.
Casually commits treason by suggesting that the emperor should be removed - no biggie. Feng Yegeâs just super sneaky.
