Chapter 309 Emperor Sovereign, Emperor Sovereign, Emperor Sovereign [10,000 words]_2
"Besides playing with women, what else does he know? I refuse to accept it, Father, I refuse to accept it." The Eldest Prince was about to resign himself, but upon hearing Mu Chengqian's words, his fury was reignited.
"Father, don't involve me in this matter. I just want to quietly be a leisurely Prince." The Sixth Prince quickly spoke up.
Listening to his father's words, the Sixth Prince was rather delighted. It also indicated that his father was aware of everything he had done, otherwise, he wouldn't have said such things.
But now the position of Crown Prince had slipped away from him, so he decided not to reveal his strength, and quickly spoke up.
"Being a leisurely Prince, my foot." Mu Chengqian scolded, then gently lifted a finger.
Suddenly, the mid-stage Soul Refining aura of the Sixth Prince involuntarily emanated from him.
This... this...
Everyone was shocked at this moment.
They sensed the aura on the Sixth Prince, their faces filled with disbelief.
Clearly, he was a waste who only knew how to indulge in pleasure. How had his cultivation reached the mid-stage of Soul Refining?
It was known that the highest cultivation level right now was only Jian Yifeng. Now it seemed, could the Sixth Prince have the highest level?
"Father..." The Sixth Prince looked at his father with a bitter smile.
"Your cultivation talent is strong, so you will guard the Ghost Cave for me. Thinking about being a leisurely Prince? Not a chance."
Because of this, Mu Chengqian proposed a marriage between the Sixth Prince and the Ma family, who guarded the Ghost Cave.
"Impossible, impossible, how could that waste, old Sixth, possibly..." The Eldest Prince was in disbelief at what he saw and heard.
"Sit down." Mu Chengqian looked at the Eldest Prince and spoke calmly.
Upon hearing the words, the Eldest Prince's body trembled slightly, and the anger in his heart was suppressed by Mu Chengqian's imposing presence.
How dare he? How dare he confront his father? This thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Yes, after all, he had become too arrogant and forgot what kind of person his father was.
The Eldest Prince eventually bowed his head and slowly sat back in his seat.
"Then it's decided. The Eldest Prince, move out of the Eastern Palace today. After tomorrow's court session, the Ninth Prince will move into the Eastern Palace." Mu Chengqian said.
"Yes, Father!" Mu Rufeng stood up, bowed in salute, and let a smile show on his face.
The position of Crown Prince had finally been secured.
After this, he could begin preparing for the next task.
His second-phase task was completed, and the third-phase task had not been released yet, presumably waiting for him to officially ascend to the position of Crown Prince to trigger the task.
Mu Rufeng hadn't had the chance to ask about others' tasks yet.
When he returned tonight, Mu Rufeng could just go and ask Ye Lin.
"Li Ren, establish the Crown Prince during tomorrow's court, and come up with a procedure." Mu Chengqian looked at Minister of Rites Li Ren and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Ren immediately bowed respectfully.
"That will be all for today. The rest of the matters will be discussed in tomorrow's court. Everyone else may go, the Ninth Prince will stay." Mu Chengqian said.
"Your Majesty, this humble servant takes his leave!"
All the ministers immediately withdrew and left.
"Empress, you may leave as well. I have something to discuss with the Ninth Prince." Mu Chengqian looked at the Empress, who remained unmoved, and spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately left.
"Ninth Prince, I have already found out the reason behind your fifty thousand troops' annihilation." Mu Chengqian said slowly.
"Father, what is the reason?" Mu Rufeng, with his memories intact, felt a tremor run through his body and mind as he quickly inquired.
At this moment, Mu Rufeng, to avoid having his identity issues detected, had long used the Illusion Heart Ghost King's ability to hypnotize himself, fully integrating himself into the identity of the Ninth Prince.
He was now almost the spitting image of the Ninth Prince, with perhaps a faint trace of modern vibes, which was of little consequence.
"Your troops' supplies were deliberately detained in Liang City for an hour, making you stay at Wolf Pass for one more hour."
"It was precisely this one hour that allowed Jiao Ze to successfully set up an ambush army, ultimately wiping out your forces."
"The person in charge of Liang City has been captured, and all those involved, their entire families, have been escorted to the Imperial City."
"As for the person behind all this, I think you should know who it is?" Mu Chengqian said slowly.
Mu Rufeng nodded slightly: "It's my eldest brother."
"Hmm, how do you plan to handle it?" Mu Chengqian looked at Mu Rufeng and asked.
Mu Rufeng didn't answer, but continued to say: "Father, I am still afflicted by a strange poison called Netherworld Flower Poison."
"Afflicted by a strange poison? Netherworld Flower Poison?" Mu Chengqian frowned slightly.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should also have been by my eldest brother. At that time in the Imperial Palace, the healing secret medicine I took daily was infused with Netherworld Flower Poison."
"This poison is difficult to detect, even a God Realm expert can't notice it. If it weren't for my master, Xiaoyaozi, consuming Seventh Sister's Snow Lotus would have been fatal to me." Mu Rufeng said slowly.
Mu Chengqian said nothing, stepped forward, and grabbed Mu Rufeng's wrist.
Then a powerful Qi Blood Power flowed into his body.
This Qi Blood Power was extremely powerful, almost overwhelming Mu Rufeng, but it was also incredibly gentle, not causing Mu Rufeng the slightest bit of pain.
"I can't detect anything unusual. I've never heard of the Netherworld Flower Poison either." After examining Mu Rufeng, Mu Chengqian found only that Mu Rufeng's Qi Blood Power was unusually strong.
Beyond that, there were no other anomalies.
