Chapter 36 How dare you kill the king!
The next morning, Chun Yufeng went to the Prince's Mansion to ask to see Chun Yurong.
This time, he first went to the prince's bedroom to meet Xiao Tong, exchanged a few words with Zhao Qi, and then went to Chun Yurong Palace.
Chun Yurong waited for him in the bedroom with a cold face. As soon as Chun Yufeng stepped into the palace, she spoke coldly:
"Except Shuiyue, everyone retreat."
"Yes, ma'am."
The maids in the hall responded in unison, lowered their heads, and quietly left the hall.
Although the decoration inside Chun Yurong Palace was not as luxurious as that of Jiang Wumei's, every item was carefully selected by Xiao Tong before being delivered, and there were many treasures that were hard to find even in the imperial palace.
In terms of affection, Jiang Wumei can't even match half of it.
Unfortunately, these are not what Chun Yurong pursues, and even if Xiao Tong does more, it will be in vain.
As soon as Chun Yufeng entered the hall, he looked around. After the maids had left the hall, he called Chun Yurong "sister".
Chun Yurong has always loved this cruel brother. When she saw him, the coldness on her face dissipated a little.
"Please sit down. Shuiyue will serve tea."
Shuiyue bowed and turned around. Soon, she made two cups of Lu'an Guapian tea.
Chun Yufeng loved to drink Lu'an Guapian tea, and Chun Yurong and Shuiyue knew it. When the hot tea came, Chun Yufeng didn't rush to speak. He reached out to take the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip, then got straight to the point:
"Sister, His Highness has been in a coma for so long, and the people in the court have long been in turmoil. Father and I have decided to join another master. What are your plans?"
Chun Yurong sneered and looked at his brother:
“When His Highness was awake, my brother and father asked me to find a way to sleep with His Highness as soon as possible.
Now, His Highness has been in a coma for only a month, and his younger brother and father can't wait any longer.
You guys turned against each other so quickly, aren't you afraid that His Highness will wake up and come after you to settle the score?"
The scene when his father came to him and begged His Highness for help was still vivid in his mind. He didn't expect that as soon as His Highness got into trouble, they would be so eager to climb up the social ladder. Such a resolute attitude really made Chun Yurong feel disgusted.
Chun Yufeng didn't care about Chun Yurong's cold face and responded with a smile:
"Sister, you and I are both smart people. We understand each other's ambitions, so why bother engaging in meaningless arguments?
It is unclear when His Highness will regain consciousness. My father and I have visited the Imperial Hospital many times, and they all say that the prince's illness has no cure.
Rather than waiting indefinitely, it is better to choose a wise master and give it a try, so that you can even gain the merit of following the dragon."
Seeing Chun Yurong's expression wavering, Chun Yufeng's eyes flashed with sarcasm, adding fuel to the fire:
“Also, from what I know, the Second Prince seems to have a good impression of my sister.
As long as sister is willing, father and I will be able to help her escape and return home smoothly, and then marry the second prince as his principal wife in a grand ceremony.
By then, once the Second Prince ascends the throne, my sister will be the legitimate head of the harem, and our Chun family will rise rapidly to become the pillar of the Great Saint Dynasty."
Chun Yufeng's passionate words touched people's hearts. Chun Yurong's fingertips trembled, and it was obvious that she was greatly shocked.
But she is not stupid after all, and the second prince already has a wife. If she wants to replace her, she will have to pay a huge price. Chun Yufeng's words are just a pretext to induce her to take action, and the real purpose is set behind it.
The boiling heartbeat gradually calmed down. Chun Yurong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Chun Yufeng up and down. He looked until the smile on Chun Yufeng's face froze. Then he raised his chin and spoke coldly:
"Tell me, what does the Second Prince want Chunfu to do?"
Chun Yufeng's smile froze as she once again realized how powerful her elder sister was.
However, if Chun Yurong wanted to successfully join the Second Prince's army and make him look at the Chun Mansion differently, Chun Yurong had to take action, and Chun Yufeng naturally did not hide anything.
Glancing around the hall, Chun Yufeng looked at Shui Yue beside him and said:
"The tea in the cup is gone. Go make two more cups."
Seeing him ask Shuiyue to leave, Chun Yurong's eyes flashed with a dark light, but he did not stop him.
As soon as Shuiyue left, Chun Yurong heard Chun Yufeng lean forward and said in a low voice:
"The Second Prince meant that since His Highness has fallen asleep, it would be better to seek peace of mind and let my sister find a way to make His Highness never wake up."
Chun Yufeng's voice was like a poisonous snake that pierced into her heart. Chun Yurong's pupils shrank, and in fear she accidentally knocked over the scalding teacup.
The boiling hot water poured onto the delicate skin, causing Chun Yurong's face to turn pale with pain. She could not help but step back, staring at the audacious Chun Yufeng, and angrily scolded:
"How dare you kill the king!
You and your father are both trying to kill themselves!
If someone finds out, the emperor will be furious and will punish all nine generations of your family!
By then, the entire Chun clan will be overthrown, and you and I won't even be able to escape!"
“Risks and benefits coexist!
Only if we are adventurous enough can we have the chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Second Prince!
Otherwise, why would my sister think that the Second Prince would give up the Princess who can provide him with support and marry you as his principal wife?
Isn't it because we can eliminate the biggest threat for him?!
Sister, you have to understand that only when the Second Prince sees our Chun family's determination with his own eyes will he feel comfortable accepting us into his fold..."
"shut up!"
Chun Yurong suddenly stood up in panic and interrupted Chun Yufeng with a sharp voice.
She gasped and shook her head, not knowing whether she was trying to convince Chun Yufeng or herself:
"Your Highness is truly devoted to me, and for my safety, he didn't hesitate to use Jiang Wumei as a shield.
He always puts me first and thinks about me, and I will never betray him."
Seeing this, Chun Yufeng stopped trying to persuade him. He stood up and stared coldly at Chun Yurong for a long while before saying:
"It happened suddenly, and my sister couldn't accept it for a while, but my father and I understand.
However, time waits for no one, and I hope my sister can give me a reply in three days.
If sister is willing, our family will work together to find a good strategy and achieve prosperity together. If sister is not willing, father and I will have to find another solution."
After squinting his eyes and looking at Chun Yurong for a moment, Chun Yufeng turned around and strode away, leaving Chun Yurong standing alone in the huge empty bedroom, lost in thought.
