Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

After returning to the mansion, Feng Jinnian stayed indoors and refused to see anyone, so Chu Yun could only go back to her room to wait.

Strangely, before getting off the carriage, Feng Jinnian asked Chu Yun to pack up the pastries that A Yuan had given him and take them with him. After returning to his room, he stared at the stack of pastries for a long time without saying a word.

Through the space, Chu Yun could only see that he had his eyebrows lowered and his eyes were obviously dark, with thick emotions brewing inside, but Chu Yun could not tell what he was thinking.

With no one around, Feng Jinnian stuffed the pastry into his mouth and chewed it repeatedly with such force that it looked like he was going to grind his teeth to pieces.

It's safe to say that he loathed the pastry and the person who delivered it.

But he still ate the pastries despite his disgust.

After eating about half of the pastries, Feng Jinnian lay down on the bed with a cold face and his eyes closed.

At this moment, there was nothing left to see here, so Chu Yun went to check the situation outside.

Unlike Feng Jinnian's leisurely and carefree attitude, the outside world was in an uproar over his affair with the Prince of Chen.

Feng Jinnian showed no mercy, and the Prince of Chen's injuries were so severe that they would even affect his future fertility.

It should be understood that the Crown Prince of Chen is not only the legitimate son of the King of Chen, but also his only son. Now that the Crown Prince of Chen is seriously injured, the lineage of the King of Chen could be cut off if not handled carefully. This matter is not just a simple fight between two crown princes, but may very well affect the court of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Qi Jingheng was pleased to see the dethronement of the Prince of Chen, and what pleased him most was that the person who carried out the deed was Feng Jinnian.

The ancestors of the Prince of Chen were favored, and their fiefdom was the richest among all the princes of the Qi clan. Although the current Prince of Chen is uneducated and has accomplished nothing, the Prince of Chen's lineage is still considered to be among the most powerful among the princes of the Qi clan because of the wealth accumulated by the previous generations of Princes of Chen.

Now that Prince Chen and Prince Zhennan have become enemies, Qi Jingheng's two thorns in his side are likely to break off relations, so how could he not be happy?

Considering Qi Qingjia's presence, Qi Jingheng suppressed his joy and feigned anxiety. "Uncle, the Prince of Chen's heir is seriously injured, and the Prince of Chen will not let it go easily. However, it was Feng Jinnian who did the beating. If he is severely punished, the Prince of Zhennan will not stand idly by. This matter is troublesome. In your opinion, Uncle, what should I do?"

Qi Qingjia remained calm. "Your Majesty need not be anxious."

"How can I not be anxious? The lessons of my father's past are still fresh in my mind. I'm afraid..." Qi Jingheng sighed deeply, his face filled with worry.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. The treacherous ministers and villains have all been executed. Now, the Great Qi is at peace and there will be no more predicaments like before," Qi Qingjia said in a deep voice.

Qi Jingheng glanced at Qi Qingjia, a look of fear flashing in his eyes. He lowered his head, as if he were very ashamed. "It was my slip of the tongue. With the Imperial Uncle in charge, there will definitely be no more trouble in Great Qi."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will never let you worry. Your Majesty can handle this matter with confidence. I will do my best to mediate." Qi Qingjia frowned slightly. Although he was very satisfied with Qi Jingheng's incompetent behavior, he still felt uncomfortable thinking about having such a person as his master, even if he was just a puppet.

Upon realizing he couldn't shake off this hot potato, Qi Jingheng immediately panicked. "Uncle, you know I can't handle these things. Why don't you take care of this matter for me?"

Qi Qingjia raised his voice, "Your Majesty, you have reached adulthood and must learn to handle important matters of state." He continued to probe, "I cannot rule for you forever."

"I don't want that. I want my royal uncle to stay by my side and help me. Royal uncle, please don't be angry. I won't refuse anymore." Qi Jingheng frowned, looking bitter and resentful.

His expression didn't seem fake; he still relied on Qi Qingjia as he had when they were children, and Qi Qingjia's doubts gradually dissipated.

Qi Jingheng had always understood Qi Qingjia, and knowing that he had already deceived him, he felt much more at ease.

They say that the higher you climb, the harder you fall; he's waiting for the day Qi Qingjia falls from grace.

Having roughly understood the situation outside, Chu Yun was also tired and leaned against the soft couch to doze off.

The Crown Prince of Chen has not yet woken up, and the specific details of his fight with Feng Jinnian are still unknown. Today has passed peacefully.

The next morning, someone from the palace came to question Feng Jinnian. After asking a few questions as usual, no useful information was obtained, and the person who asked the questions did not delve into the matter and left quickly, as if he had only come to go through the motions.

This was at Qi Qingjia's behest. Although he entrusted the matter to Qi Jingheng, he knew very well that Qi Jingheng was incapable of handling it properly, so he couldn't help but worry about it.

The core issue of this matter has never been about who was right and who was wrong between Feng Jinnian and the Prince of Chen; the real key is the attitudes of the Prince of Chen and the Prince of Zhennan.

A day and a night is enough time for the news to reach the ears of Prince Chen and Prince Zhennan.

Everyone in the capital, including Qi Qingjia and Qi Jingheng, was waiting for their move.

Prince Chen was the first to send a memorial requesting to go to the capital to visit his son, followed closely by Prince Zhennan, who also submitted a memorial requesting to go to the capital.

The princes were not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned. They could only see the emperor's face when they went to court to report on their duties each year. At other times, they had to stay in their fiefdoms to guard the territory for the emperor. Especially after the rebellion of the seven princes of the late emperor, the Great Qi became even stricter on the matter of the princes entering the capital. The princes also tried their best to avoid suspicion. Even when they entered the capital, they rarely met with the officials in the capital, so as not to arouse Qi Jingheng's suspicion that they had disloyal intentions.

However, now that the Crown Prince of Chen is seriously injured and unconscious, the Prince of Chen has submitted more than a dozen memorials requesting to enter the capital. Some officials have also used the concepts of family affection and filial piety to reason with him. Considering that the Prince of Chen and the Prince of Zhennan love their son dearly and that it is only natural for them to want to enter the capital, Qi Jingheng agreed. However, he ordered them not to bring too many soldiers and only a small number of guards into the capital.

With the arrival of Prince Chen and Prince Zhennan, the defenses of Shangjing City have become even more stringent, and even the guards in the palace are rotated more frequently.

Seeing the entire capital city like a pot of boiling water about to boil, Chu Yun vaguely understood what Feng Jinnian wanted to do.

He wanted to stir up trouble in the capital and take advantage of the chaos.

Prince Chen arrived in the capital before Prince Zhennan. Seeing his son lying on the bed, barely alive and wrapped in gauze like a corpse, he was furious and stormed into Feng Jinnian's residence with a knife in hand.

Feng Jinnian severed his bloodline, and he will never let this arrogant brat get away with it.

"Feng Jinnian, you bastard! I will kill you to avenge my son!" Prince Chen had led troops in his younger days and was quite skilled in martial arts. The guards of the Prince's residence dared not harm him, and he was able to easily break in.

He brandished his knife, his hair standing on end in fury. "You arrogant brat, get out here! I want to see how capable you are to dare hurt my son. Today I will cut off your head to avenge my son."

He stormed into Feng Jinnian's room, knife in hand, and chased after Feng Jinnian, slashing wildly.

Just as his knife was about to fall on Feng Jinnian, a masked man in black suddenly rushed out and kicked the knife out of his hand.
