After rebirth, I was entangled by the Regent

Chapter 117 The truth behind the enthronement of the crown prince

"Are you okay? Your hand is bleeding." He Jingan looked at him, not caring at all that Ye Feng was still holding his waist. "Qingfeng, I tell you, in this life, I will never let you go."

"Marquis Chengyang, why are you so angry?" Xiao Yanchen walked out with Ji Ziyan, smiling, "Isn't he just a guard serving the Lord? I thought that Ye Feng has been with the little uncle for so many years, he should be able to withstand more serious injuries than this, right?"

"To protect our war god, Ye Feng would do anything, even if it meant his death. But this bastard who is worse than a dog, are you going to protect him, Prince?" He Jing'an pressed on: "Yes, after all, the bastard's pledge of allegiance allowed the prince to protect him for life, right?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yanchen and Qingfengguo's faces changed. In fact, only a very few people knew about that incident, and He Jingan knew it best because he had followed it from beginning to end.

At that time, although His Majesty was still in good health, the court had always wanted to establish Jinyan as the crown prince. In addition, His Majesty had always been fond of Xiao Yi, a younger brother who was the same age as his son, and Xiao Yi's abilities in many aspects were far superior to Xiao Yanchen.

But after all, Xiao Yanchen is His Majesty's eldest son, and the Queen has many factions behind her. In order to prevent the court from arguing endlessly about this matter, His Majesty ordered that whoever can solve the salt business in Jiangnan will be the crown prince.

But he remembered that Xiao Yi entered the palace after receiving the task. He Jing'an followed him because he was worried that Xiao Yi would be wronged. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi actually refused and said that even if he could solve the salt business faster than Xiao Yanchen, he would not inherit the throne of crown prince.

His Majesty was furious at the time, and He Jingan realized then that perhaps His Majesty wanted to pass the throne to Xiao Yi: "Ayi, I know you have no intention of being emperor, but do you want to watch our Xiao royal family have no successor?"

"Don't you know what kind of temper Chen'er has? This time, I'm begging you. Do your best. You don't have to do it very well. But don't deliberately..."

"Brother, I..."

"Salt affairs are related to people's livelihood." Xiao Cheng knew that Xiao Yi cared about the people. If he said so, he would definitely do a good job.

Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "I obey your order."

Xiao Yi only brought him and four guards, namely Qingfeng and his men. Xiao Yi took them to travel around. They were young at that time, and He Jingan also knew that Xiao Yi wanted Xiao Yanchen to investigate first.

But he didn't expect that they would travel around for a month and get some information from time to time, which was actually more than what Xiao Yanchen and his group had investigated. At that time, he knew that Xiao Yanchen's ability was really too poor.

In order to prevent Xiao Yanchen from being too embarrassed, Xiao Yi asked Qingfeng, who was Ye Chi at the time, to help him. Qingfeng knew the progress and news of both sides. Just like that, Qingfeng was conquered by Xiao Yanchen at some point. Just like that, everything Xiao Yi had became Xiao Yanchen's credit.

At that time, He Jing'an wanted to go to His Majesty to explain it clearly, but Xiao Yi stopped him and said that this was the best solution. Later, because the prince had made great contributions and was forced by court officials, Xiao Yanchen became the prince not long after.

But at the same time, Xiao Yi was appointed as the regent during the expedition. At that time, He Jing'an also understood that perhaps His Majesty knew that Xiao Yanchen had snatched Xiao Yi away.
