Cheng Zhiyuan slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then cast his eyes on his grandson sitting opposite him. This old man, who had experienced many ups and downs and served as prime minister for ten years, was already accustomed to interpreting the various subtle expressions and looks of the court officials, but facing the young man in front of him, he felt an unprecedented confusion.

The grandson sat upright, his face calm without any ripples, except for a slight frown from time to time. His face seemed to be always covered with a mysterious veil, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.

This calmness made it even harder for Cheng Zhiyuan to see through. He tried to find some clues from these subtle movements, but the results were like seeing flowers in the fog, which made him even more confused. No matter how hard he tried to observe and analyze carefully, it was difficult to accurately understand the thoughts of this grandson he had raised since he was a child.

He didn't think that his grandson would be so cold-blooded as to disregard the lives of ordinary people, but his grandson showed an indifferent and detached attitude.

The emperor carefully trained him as his successor since he was young, and at a young age he had already shown the potential to become a wise ruler.

Although Cheng Yuheng is only ten years old, he has already begun to show his talent and leadership potential. He is quick-witted and smart. When dealing with problems, he is calm and decisive far beyond his peers, and can quickly analyze the situation and make wise decisions.

His eyes were firm and confident, as if he was ready to take on future responsibilities.

When interacting with others, he is friendly and humble, respects other people's opinions, and is good at listening and understanding. This trait enables him to win the trust and respect of others and establish good relationships with others.

In the face of difficulties and challenges, he is brave and resolute, and never backs down. He has a strong sense of mission and responsibility, strives for excellence, and constantly improves his abilities.

He exudes a unique charm that makes people believe that he is the crown prince who will be able to shoulder great responsibilities in the future and lead the country to prosperity.

He is swift, ruthless, and resolute in his actions; despite his young age, he knows how to use people and win their hearts. Such a young genius makes people both admire and fear him.

He was named the crown prince when he was only ten years old. The emperor personally sent him to the royal secret guard camp and carefully selected and trained a shadow guard of thousands of people for him.

This team of shadow guards only obeys his orders. From the day they are selected, they have only one master and they are only loyal to him.

Shadow Guards are orphans found from all over the country, both boys and girls, who have been wearing masks since childhood. Their true faces can only be seen by their masters after they have recognized their masters. Even the emperor cannot give them orders.

Over the years, my grandson has never slackened in the secret training of this group of people, and now there are probably more than a thousand people.

The young prince, who is loved by everyone, has always been the focus of everyone's attention. However, it is this excessive attention and expectations that make him the object of jealousy for some people.

If it weren't for the fire, how could his beloved daughter have died? She should have been the most honorable queen, and his grandson should have been the crown prince, how could they have ended up being so indifferent and cold! The arsonist is still at large, how can he be willing! He must help his grandson ascend the throne that should belong to him and avenge his daughter in his lifetime.

Seeing his grandfather looking at him, Cheng Yuheng could not help but frown and said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, my surname is Cheng now, and I am your grandson! The Jun family should protect the country. As for the suffering of the people, it is the emperor and the prince's concern. Now that I am no longer the crown prince, the people are not within my consideration. Even if the Jun family is overthrown, what does it have to do with me?

"The thief who set fire to my mother and me, whether it was that man or Yu Pingting, I will make them pay with blood! Now, I just want them to taste the feeling of being abandoned and despised by everyone."

Chen Zhiyuan listened to Cheng Yuheng's words which were as calm as water and a little bit cold and ruthless, but between the lines there was a chilling murderous intent, which made him, a man who had been working in the officialdom for many years, feel creepy and shudder.

"It's only a matter of time before the Northeast Province is occupied by the Northern Army. Even if we don't exchange it for the divine stone, it's only a matter of time before the Yu family, a bunch of good-for-nothings, are attacked by the Northern Army. I've already made arrangements. Let's head south in a few days!

It’s getting late, Grandpa, please go to bed early! I won’t see you off because my eyesight is not good.”

When Cheng Zhiyuan heard Cheng Yuheng talking about his eye disease, he sighed, "Yu'er, I heard that Doctor Yun was able to bring back to life a drowning child who was only breathing a little bit. Even Elder Meng admired his medical skills. How about asking him to check your eye disease some other day?"

"Grandfather, Elder Meng has also mentioned this to my grandson. We still need to think about this matter carefully. I will try to contact the Yun family in a few days to test the situation before making a decision. It has been so many years, there is no need to rush."

Cheng Zhiyuan felt relieved knowing that his grandson would succeed on his own, so he went back to his room to rest.
