The prince also knew that the credit for his ability to suppress Madam Yu and Master Fei went to the Eastern Palace and other retainers, so even if he did not obey their every word, he trusted them very much.

When one of his retainers came out to support him in seizing power, he had already taken the matter to heart. Later, more and more retainers hinted to him that now was the time, and it was hard not to be tempted.

In the entire Eastern Palace, only the Crown Princess kept advising him to be cautious.

"Your Highness is now the crown prince for sure. Madam Yu and Master Fei have also fallen out of favor. As long as Your Highness waits patiently, everything will be yours sooner or later. Why take such a risk?" The Crown Princess tried to persuade the Crown Prince with all her heart, but unfortunately she could not persuade him.

The prince just frowned at her, thinking that she was still timid and cowardly.

"When I was able to come back from the royal mausoleum, who knows if Madam Yu and Master Fei will make a comeback? Now is my best opportunity, I don't want to miss it!"

"But..." The Crown Princess still wanted to persuade him again. In her opinion, it was too dangerous for the Crown Prince to do this.

But the prince was now full of pride and didn't care about the nagging of his wife at all. He swung his sleeves in annoyance and left.

Recently, his subordinates presented him with a concubine, and this is a fresh start.

When people are at their most proud, they are often most likely to make mistakes. When the prince was being affectionate with his concubine, he inadvertently revealed his urgency to her.

The concubine's eyes flashed, and she put her slender hands around the prince's neck, her breath sweet as orchid.

"Your Highness is a rare talent, and all good things should naturally belong to Your Highness. You have worked so hard for so many years, and I feel so distressed just by hearing about it."

Everyone loves to hear nice words, especially from the person they love the most. The prince was so happy that he promised his concubine, "When I become the king, I will make you my honorable wife, and you can have whatever you want!"

"I don't want it. I will be satisfied as long as I can serve Your Highness all the time." The favored concubine spoke softly and coaxed the prince into not knowing what day it was.

The people around him spared no effort, and within a month, the prince was determined to abdicate and seize the throne. He began to meet with his retainers all day to discuss major issues in detail.

The Crown Princess was worried, but the Crown Prince refused to listen to a word she said and even refused to see her, leaving the Crown Princess helpless.

Because they had conspired together with Madam Yu, the Crown Princess had some respect for Zhiyan over the years. She did not feel any threat from Zhiyan and the young master, and would occasionally go to the palace to talk to her to cheer her up.

In this situation, the Crown Princess felt uneasy and was bullied everywhere in the Eastern Palace, so she simply went back to the palace to find Zhiyan.

Her face looked visibly haggard, and she couldn't tell the truth when Zhiyan asked her further, so she could only make up an excuse to get by.

Zhiyan didn't ask any further questions and instead talked about the neighboring country sending someone to ask for the princess' hand in marriage.

"In fact, there is only one princess who can really go to marry." Zhiyan was naturally talking about the little princess. Although this matter has not been made clear yet, many people have guessed it.

The Crown Princess was a little surprised. She had little interaction with the little princess. She only heard from outsiders that she was very much doted on by the King and Madam Yu.

"Then, will the princess agree to do so?" the Crown Princess asked in surprise.

Zhiyan glanced at her and smiled helplessly, "It's not something the princess can decide on her own. Besides, she has to consider her mother and brother."

These words made the Crown Princess feel heavy-hearted. She immediately thought that if the little princess used the marriage to exchange for a chance for Madam Yu and Master Fei to get back together, then the Crown Prince was right.

She had originally entered the palace just to relax, but unexpectedly she heard about this incident. She was immediately filled with thoughts. She had originally been opposed to the prince's radicalism, but now she was somewhat shaken.

After staying in Zhiyan Palace for a while in a daze, he got up and left. He would probably talk to the prince about it after he returned.

Zhiyan didn't force her to stay. After watching her leave, she turned back to look at Shili.

"Is this princess really going to marry?"

Although the little princess was Madam Yu's daughter, even though she didn't like her, she never did anything bad to her over the years. She just ignored her.

Zhiyan herself came to Yan Kingdom for marriage, but encountered many setbacks. Now she heard that the little princess was also going to embark on the same path, and she couldn't help feeling touched.

Shi Li nodded slightly, "She should have thought about it a long time ago. In fact, whether she is willing or not, she has no other choice. It is better to take the initiative to speak up and get more benefits."

This is the most noble royal family, enjoying support from the world, but often having no control over their own affairs.
