To put it nicely, his mother was naive. To put it bluntly, she was really stupid. She was the daughter of a wealthy family, but she always made herself look so pitiful and insecure.
He could not understand it. Even if she was the second wife, she was still a legal wife. Why did she feel inferior and compete with his eldest brother’s mother?
He could not say anything in front of Xia Huafeng, but he was rendered speechless by the fact that his mother was competing with a dead person.
“If she makes things difficult for you, you can argue with her a few tis to vent. It’ll stop her for a few days.”
Xia Huafeng was speechless.
What a filial son!
However, the problem now was not about him being troubled anymore.
“People from the palace have contacted Mother’s servants. Your people must not show their faces in front of her,” he said.
Xia Junfeng was speechless. He knew his mother was the biggest problem. He had been worried sothing would happen to her.
“I have a headache,” he said as he raised his hand to touch his forehead.
“Endure it for a while longer, and it’ll be fine,” Xia Huafeng advised him.
Very few people had been living well in the capital. Soldiers patrolled the commoners’ houses from ti to ti to check if the Third Prince and his group were hiding in one of them. This had already caused panic.
“Yes, I know.” Xia Junfeng nodded. “Is there any other news?”
He looked at Xia Huafeng, his aning clear. if there was nothing else, he would leave. He could not stay here for long.
“One more thing.”
Xia Huafeng had sothing else to say. This was also the real reason his father had sent him to find Xia Junfeng.
“Father discovered that Qi Feng Hall is heavily guarded outside, and there seems to be soone inside. He suspects it might be the Empress Dowager.” This was why he had told Xia Junfeng that it was uncertain if the Empress Dowager was dead.
However, Xia Junfeng did not think so.
Even if the Empress Dowager was not dead, she would not be hidden in the palace. After all, the Empress Dowager supported Eldest Brother Yan. If she were found in the palace, it would cause a lot of trouble for the old Emperor.
“Big Brother, I’ll have to trouble you to investigate this. Please focus on the people from Shang Kingdom,” he said.
“Shang Kingdom?” Xia Huafeng raised his eyebrows, not expecting him to say that.
Did people from Shang Kingdom co to Daqing Kingdom? Would the old Emperor protect an envoy from Shang Kingdom who had always harbored ill intentions towards Daqing Kingdom?
“Prince Yi, Shang Ningyi?”
He imdiately thought of this person. He had also heard that this prince of Shang Kingdom had been causing trouble for Prince Zhan Yun at Huayan Peak.
Did he really co to Daqing Kingdom and stay in the palace?
“In other words, the Third Prince’s relationship with Prince Zhan Yun might have been leaked from his mouth?”
He had been wondering what had gone wrong. His father had thought it was Fu Ming’s fault, but the real culprit might be Shang Ningyi, Prince Yi of Shang Kingdom?
His eyes darkened. If Shang Ningyi was behind this, he would make sure he would not let him leave Daqing Kingdom!
He hated people who would do disgusting things for their own personal gain, and Shang Ningyi was the most detestable!
