Hearing this, Yan Fei shook his head and said, “Your Highness, this servant doesn’t know.”
“You don’t know either? Sigh, actually, I know the First Prince Brother’s chances of being reinstated are slim, but seeing Mother like that, I really can’t bear to see her worrying too much about the First Prince Brother.” Mu Yunge sighed softly.
Then, she continued, “By the way, did you see that Prime Minister Qin, who came out of the Imperial Study today? He doesn’t look like a good person at all!”
Yan Fei couldn’t help but smile, but still replied, “How so?”
“His face is awful! He looks like a treacherous minister! Humph! Let me tell you, I remember Mother and Nanny Zhang saying that the matter of General Yan Nan’s family being raided back then was inextricably linked to him! They thought I was too young to remember, but I remember it clearly! I never expected that the person today was Prime Minister Qin! Perhaps the First Prince Brother’s dethronement this time is also related to him!” Mu Yunge sneered.
Yan Fei was shocked to discover that the massacre of his entire family was connected to Prime Minister Qin. His emotions were in turmoil.
However, he was used to keeping his emotions hidden, so upon hearing Mu Yunge’s words, he calmly asked, “How does the Princess know that this matter is related to Prime Minister Qin?”
Mu Yunge gave him a look that said, ‘You’re so stupid’, and then said, “Think about it, the First Prince Brother was deposed, and the Third Prince was demoted to a Junwang. Who ultimately benefits?! Isn’t it the Second Prince?! The Second Prince is the son of Consort Shu and the grandson of Prime Minister Qin. Consort Shu likes to compete with the Empress for favor. As the saying goes, like father, like daughter. Therefore, it is clear that Prime Minister Qin is definitely not a good person either!”
Hearing this, Yan Fei’s body stiffened slightly. Then he said softly to Mu Yunge, “Alright, it’s getting late. Princess, you should go to sleep. These matters are not for you to worry about.”
Mu Yunge pursed her lips, then lay down and took Yan Fei’s hand.
Yan Fei was in great turmoil, but he still held her hand and waited until she fell asleep before pulling his hand away.
…
Taking a deep breath, Yan Fei turned and went back to his room, then looked up at the bright moon.
The Ninth Princess was right. With the Crown Prince and the Third Prince in trouble, the Second Prince naturally became the biggest beneficiary, because the power behind the other princes was no match for the Qin family.
Regarding the execution of the Yan family, he had always believed that the Emperor had deliberately framed the Yan family in order to reclaim military power. However, the Emperor did not reclaim military power afterward, but instead handed it over to several other generals.
He knew those people; they were all his father’s former rivals!
And they were from the faction of Prime Minister Qin.
Thinking about it this way, it was highly likely that his father had refused to cooperate with Prime Minister Qin and was thus framed by him!
Thinking of this, Yan Fei felt as if his chest was filled with a pile of rotten rice straw, which was very uncomfortable.
If that was the case, then the Emperor was nothing more than a knife in Prime Minister Qin’s hand. He deliberately framed his father for military power and then used the Emperor to exterminate the entire Yan family!
Crack, crack, crack!
Yan Fei clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked, his eyes blazing with intense hatred.
Prime Minister Qin!
So it was all your doing!
Yan Fei sat by the window until the moon began to set.
Just then, Mu Yunge’s voice came from the side hall, “Xiao Xi.”
Yan Fei snapped out of his reverie and hurried toward the inner hall.
“Princess, what’s wrong?” Yan Fei strode into the inner hall and asked softly.
“I need to relieve myself!” Mu Yunge yawned and rubbed her eyes, looking like she hadn’t fully woken up.
Remembering that she had drunk juice before going to bed, Yan Fei couldn’t help but feel guilty; he had completely forgotten about it.
