Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

"Is this... something wrong?"

Before Zuo Fuhong could say anything, Empress Zou spoke first, causing Emperor Yu to look at her strangely.

Empress Zou immediately realized that her reaction was a bit exaggerated, and she suppressed her expression and said, "I just think that Prince Duan is still young and immature, and he can't be left alone to take care of him."

The people present could naturally understand what she meant, and Zuo Fuhong also stood up:

"Your Majesty, I do not think that His Royal Highness Prince Duan is a nuisance in my family. My children all love His Royal Highness Prince Duan very much. Besides, His Royal Highness's evil spirit has only been suppressed, not completely eliminated. If it recurs again..."

"Master Zuo Xiang, rest assured. Yesterday, I asked several experts in Yunsheng Temple, and they said that the evil spirit of His Royal Highness Prince Duan was very well hidden. If I hadn't told them, even they would hardly be able to see it."

Before Zuo Fuhong could finish his words, Concubine De took over the conversation.

Feng Zhanye also nodded and followed suit: "The master you hired is really amazing. No one around me has been implicated this year, and even the livestock, cats and dogs have not been affected."

Hearing this, Zuo Fuhong had to hold back what he was about to say. Only he himself knew the true truth.

These two people sang the same tune and put him on a very high pedestal. Now he is in a difficult situation.

At this moment, Han Neiguan walked into the cabinet and said to Emperor Yu in front of everyone, "Your Majesty, the results of the interrogation of Xian Zhi in the Heavenly Prison are out."

"how?"

Queen Zou asked the first question.

Han Neiguan presented the signed document to Emperor Yu, and continued, "Xian Zhi admitted that she was the one who coated the needle with oleander poison and inserted it into the acupuncture point on the top of the Seventh Prince's head, causing the Seventh Prince to die instantly."

Queen Zou then asked: "Did she say what the reason was?"

"Well... not really."

Han Neiguan looked at her thoughtfully and answered awkwardly: "When the prison guards pressed her for the reason, I don't know if she couldn't bear it, she suddenly bit her tongue and committed suicide."

Queen Zou breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said "Oh".

Emperor Yu looked at the signature carefully and nodded, saying, "I understand. You may leave now."

After Han Neiguan left, he spoke again:

"In this case, Prince Duan and Concubine Hui were innocent from the beginning to the end. I should compensate you. However, what the Queen said just now also makes sense. Although you can live alone in the palace, you still need someone to take care of you. I have to choose a mother for you in the harem."

Seeing that Emperor Yu had made up his mind, Zuo Fuhong echoed, "Since Your Majesty has this intention, His Royal Highness Prince Duan is of noble status, so you need to choose someone of noble status to teach him etiquette and make him understand right and wrong and the principles of being a human being."

Just as Concubine De was about to speak, Empress Zou suddenly took the lead.

"If Prince Duan doesn't mind, why not let me take care of you? Lin Yuan can now share government affairs with Your Majesty in the court, and can also set an example for his brothers, right?"

Empress Zou looked at Feng Zhanye seemingly tenderly and gave him a fake smile, but that smile always remained on the surface, mostly for show in front of Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu might not understand what she was thinking, but Concubine De knew it very well.

She stood up and bowed to Empress Zou and Emperor Yu, saying, "Your Majesty, you have to manage the six palaces and look after the Crown Prince. It would be better if I, this concubine, could raise the child. Prince Duan is already smart, and I, this concubine, will do my best."

Empress Zou frowned and looked at her with some displeasure: "Are you trying to snatch it from me, Concubine De?"

However, Defei shook her head, walked over and half-knelt on the ground, her eyes full of heartache for her.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I am only concerned about your health and want to share your worries."

Emperor Yu quite approved of Concubine De's behavior. He helped her up from the ground and patted her hand comfortingly.

"Qin Yan has really become more sensible now. I am very pleased that you have this heart."

"But Your Majesty..."

Empress Zou wanted to say something but was interrupted by Emperor Yu.

"Lin Yuan has just assumed the position. There will definitely be some rumors in the harem about what happened yesterday. You will have to take care of both of these things. I am afraid that your body cannot bear it. Since Concubine De has this intention, you should accept it with peace of mind."

Emperor Yu had spoken, so Zuo Fuhong and Empress Zou had no choice but to obey the arrangements even if they were reluctant.

Feng Zhanye did not take part in the argument throughout the whole process. He just watched silently, feeling an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

If it weren't for the last resort, who would be willing to rely on the power of others? But his mother can no longer protect him now. In order to defeat the two people in front of him, he has to join forces with Concubine De.

It wasn't until Gao Ye beside him tapped the back of his hand that he came to his senses.

"Prince Duan, Concubine De will be your mother in the future. You must treat her with respect and kindness as if she were your biological mother. You must also remember her kindness this time."

Feng Zhanye bowed his head and saluted. After a pause, he said, "I will keep in mind the love and care of my father and the Empress Defei."

Gao Ye and Feng Zhanye stayed in the palace for another half a day and attended a family banquet for the whole palace. Only then did Emperor Yu send a palace carriage to escort the two of them, Pei Xie, and Mrs. Chen Qi out of the palace.

Watching the tall palace gate close behind him, Gao Ye let out a long breath.

"Huh, I'm finally out. These past two days have been so depressing. I have to be on edge all the time. I really prefer the free and easy life outside the palace."

Hearing his tone, Feng Zhanye seemed to be relieved as well.

"Good brother, you have now become very successful. After two days, the palace will make arrangements, and you can completely escape from the sea of ​​suffering and stay away from that old fox."

Feng Zhanye nodded. Yes, he was finally going to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, a place full of conspiracies and schemes, and start a new life with Sister Azhi.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Gao Ye seemed to see through his little thoughts, and with a teasing look in his eyes he put his arm around his shoulders and whispered:

"You haven't been home for two days. Your guard must be worried sick. Maybe he is waiting at the door of your house now, eagerly waiting for you to come back."

Feng Zhanye glanced at him and dodged him.

Gao Ye's body tilted and he almost tripped, but Pei Xie pulled him up and he was able to steady his footing.

"Boss, please be careful. Haven't you gotten yourself into enough trouble with your mouth? The cronies of the second son of the Zuo family are still trying to stop you."

Gao Ye made a "tsk" sound and looked back at him.

"Stop bringing up that which is not relevant to the topic!"

Feng Zhanye looked at him and said, "Didn't you say it was a small matter? Hasn't it been resolved?"

Gao Ye smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, it's okay, I have Pei Xie here, how can they embarrass me?"

"My boss thinks highly of me, so it seems like he wants to increase my monthly salary?"

Pei Xie stood aside, clasping his hands and teasing.

Gao Ye held his forehead helplessly. He couldn't understand why the two of them suddenly had such a tacit understanding. Didn't they just have a fight together?

He called the Gao family carriage parked at the corner of the street and got in first, then quickly called out to Feng Zhanye:

"Okay, hurry up and get in the car. I'll take you back so that we can see your Guard Gu as soon as possible."
