Li Yufeng channeled spiritual power to the Emperor and smiled lightly, "Father, don't be agitated. You haven't seen your eldest daughter-in-law yet. Don't faint again. Come, calm down. Didn't I just find a demon? It's not a big deal. "
"It's not a big deal? You still want me to see your ability. If you marry a demon, no matter how strong you are, the ministers won't agree to let you be the Emperor. You! You've been led astray by the Li family. What a mess. How can there be … so many good ladies. You, you … That's right, are you greedy for the beauty of the fox demon? "How could the Emperor not be agitated? He was so agitated that he was incoherent!
Li Yufeng touched his face and said helplessly, "Maybe she's greedy for my beauty. Fortunately, Father, you gave birth to me so good-looking. Otherwise, she wouldn't care about me. "
The Emperor's eyes widened, "You! You good-for-nothing! Then why are you fighting for the throne? You can go to the mountains with your fox demon to cultivate. Why are you stirring up trouble? Once you enter the Imperial Court, the ministers' thoughts will be moved again. Isn't it chaotic? "
Li Yufeng sighed, "The mountains are boring. Xiang 'er likes interesting things. Father, I'm serious. So what if she's a demon? Xiang 'er has already sent people to help. If she enters the Imperial Court, it will be our Imperial Court's blessing. Also, I'm not boasting. With me and Xiang 'er overseeing this country, do you still have to worry? In the next hundred years, the country will prosper and be peaceful. Even if this son's life is over, Xiang 'er will take care of our descendants for the sake of this son's face. It is impossible for the country to perish. "
"What country perish! You unfilial son, what are you saying! "The Emperor frowned and reprimanded. However, any Emperor knew that it was not easy for a dynasty to survive for hundreds of years. If they wanted to prosper, it was really too difficult. Li Yufeng's words tempted him, but the word "fox demon" made him think that it would bring disaster to the country and the people. He had never heard of marrying a fox demon and overseeing the country.
Li Yufeng could tell what he was thinking and smiled contentedly. "Your son may not be good at other things, but his eyesight has never lost to anyone. I worked hard to get Xiang 'er to help you. If you don't want to, then I'll work hard to build another force for Xiang' er to play with. I won't come back. "
"Go! What force should he build? The Emperor shook his head and sighed. "You should go and settle your business first. Come back later to chat." I need to think about it carefully. I also need to see my future daughter-in-law. I'm tired. I'll rest for a while. "
"Alright, this is the spiritual tea personally made by your eldest daughter-in-law. It's good for your health. Please try it. This son will take his leave. Imperial Father, please have a good rest. "Li Yufeng placed a pot of spirit tea on the table and left with a smile.
Li Yufeng didn't have any place to hide anything on his body. He just took out a jar of spiritual tea out of thin air. Such "immortal means" were not worth mentioning to cultivators like them. The Emperor looked at the jar and sighed. Emperors couldn't cultivate. Even his Empress stopped cultivating after marrying him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have died of illness so early. If Li Yufeng chose the throne, then his future lifespan would definitely be shortened. How much did he like someone to make such a choice?
But didn't Li Yufeng's mother make the same choice back then? Perhaps the Li family were all people who valued relationships. If the Li family hadn't snatched Li Yufeng away and used his guilt to force him to agree, he wouldn't have taken in concubines and had children for the future generations. He had always felt that he had let down his first wife, Madam Li. All these years, even if Li Yufeng rarely came back and changed his surname to Li, he still wanted to give the best things to Li Yufeng. Now that Li Yufeng wanted the throne, he would see if Li Yufeng had the ability to do so.
The Emperor slowly lay down on the soft couch and closed his eyes to rest. He had to take good care of his body. Even if Li Yufeng couldn't do it, he would try to teach him until he couldn't take it anymore. And Li Yufeng's wife, the fox demon, wouldn't be deceived by the fox demon, right? He still had a lot of things to worry about. He couldn't die.
Madam Li's beautiful and gentle appearance flashed in front of his eyes. He sighed inwardly. For the sake of my son, I will see you later.
Steward Li's surname "Li" was given by the Emperor himself. It was to show his closeness to the Li family. Furthermore, Steward Li was the Emperor's closest person for decades. He naturally knew how much he valued Li Yufeng. When Li Yufeng came out, he had already arranged for the Crown Prince's bedroom and study room. He also arranged for Li Yufeng to be served by palace servants.
Even if Li Yufeng didn't inherit the throne in the end, his life in the palace during this period of time must be at the level of a Crown Prince.
Li Yufeng said to Steward Li with satisfaction: "I will have to trouble you to follow me these days. I still have some people that I need. Send someone to bring them in."
"Yes, Unfettered King." Steward Li was very respectful to him and immediately went to arrange it. The other palace servants saw his attitude and were naturally very respectful to Li Yufeng.
More than a dozen officials were summoned to the Crown Prince's study room for a discussion. Li Yufeng brought his own people and had them discuss the flood in the south and the plague in the suburbs of the capital.
Among the officials, there were some who secretly supported Prince Qi. It was impossible to change after so many years, so they could only make things difficult for Li Yufeng. However, Li Yufeng wasn't afraid of making things difficult for anyone. His title of "Bai Xiaosheng" wasn't obtained through fortune-telling. It was because his influence spread all over the country that he was so well-informed.
In the past few months, because he was with Chu Xiang, he had strengthened his influence and power in the capital. Joining the struggle for the throne wasn't a spur of the moment decision. He had already made ample preparations and naturally had a way to deal with them.
There were also quite a few officials who sincerely worked for the common people and supported the Emperor. After Li Yufeng understood the situation, he assigned each of them a task to do. Those who supported the Prince of Qi were all given dispensable tasks. Several people's hearts sank. One of them was even a hidden chess piece of Prince Qi that had never been exposed. When he received the task, his expression was extremely unsightly. He couldn't understand how Li Yufeng knew who he supported.
But the more this was the case, the more the officials didn't dare to look at Li Yufeng. They had originally thought that he was a country prince who had never entered the court. In the end, they didn't even know that Li Yufeng had been in the capital for so long and had participated in the imperial examination. This was enough to show that Li Yufeng's methods weren't ordinary and that he had someone in the court working for him.
The officials didn't know which family's daughter Li Yufeng had married, but in less than a day, all the officials and nobles of the capital knew that Li Yufeng's family was doing good deeds and providing disaster relief. His wife was treating plague victims in the suburbs of the capital, while his wife's younger sister and a friend had already set off to the south to provide disaster relief. He had even requested an imperial edict to be sent out, making that friend a secret imperial envoy.
Crucially, no one knew who that friend was, much less inform the south to make any preparations. The entire capital was under martial law. Everyone who had tried to send out the news found that their messages had been cut off and sent back to their study rooms. This left them greatly alarmed. How big of a power was it to be able to cut off all the messages and silently place them in their study rooms? Their own residences weren't safe, so who would dare to act blindly without thinking?!
The moment Li Yufeng made a move, he had subdued them. All of the officials in the capital were taut and all of them were watching obediently. Those who received the task also carried it out cautiously. Everything that Li Yufeng ordered was carried out at the fastest speed possible.
The Emperor was very surprised when he heard this. Then, he couldn't help but laugh with pride in his smile. He saw his son. When he was seriously ill, to be able to know that his favorite son had this kind of ability was the greatest gratification. After the Emperor pondered for a long time, he also began to secretly order people to arrange a series of matters. Since his son had the ability, then he had to think of a way to escort his son and let him smoothly ascend the throne after he made some achievements.
Li Yufeng used extreme methods to stabilize the situation in the capital in order to avoid a lot of trouble. Although Chu Xiang liked interesting things and liked to watch the bustle, she still disliked the trouble in her own family. He had to solve the problem before Chu Xiang returned.
After busying himself for a few hours to arrange everything, Li Yufeng left the palace in plain clothes. He avoided everyone and went to the outskirts of the capital, following Chu Xiang's aura to find her.
"Xiang 'er, how is it?"
Chu Xiang wasn't surprised to see Li Yufeng. Chu Xiang waved her hand to the nervous village chief and the others, "He's on the same side. First, follow my instructions and send porridge and medicine to everyone. I'll be there later. If there's anything, come find me."
"Yes, yes." The village chief and the others respectfully responded and quickly followed her instructions.
Li Yufeng smiled and said, "You have prestige here."
"They treat me as a life-saving immortal. If they know that I'm a fox demon, they might be scared to death." Chu Xiang shook her head in amusement, "How did you do in the exam? Why are you only here now?"
Li Yufeng said confidently, "It's not a problem to be the top scorer." He squatted down in front of Chu Xiang and looked up at her, probing, "I did something today, um … it's about my family and another identity. I didn't do it well before, so I didn't do it with you. I don't know if you like it or not, but I feel that you shouldn't care about this. It's definitely better for you to do things … "
Chu Xiang rubbed his face and hugged his neck, leaning into his embrace, "What are you hemming and hawing about? Zhi, who is your family and what is their identity? "
"The Emperor is my father." Li Yufeng replied with the simplest sentence.
Chu Xiang suddenly understood, "Oh — — no wonder that whatever Third Prince asked me to read his fortune. I didn't get it. It turns out that we've become a family."
"Don't bother about that bastard Third Prince. I'll deal with him later." Li Yufeng had never put the idiot Third Prince in his eyes. He didn't expect that this Third Prince would dare to tease his wife. He was really courting death!
Chu Xiang smiled and nodded. She stepped back and looked at Li Yufeng up and down a few times, then smiled, "I didn't expect my husband to be a prince. Then today, did you … declare war? What, are you going to snatch the throne? "
"I told my father that, but whether you want to snatch it or not depends on whether you want to be the Empress or not." Li Yufeng got up and hugged her, whispering in her ear, "How about sharing the country with me?"
His "sharing" really meant "sharing". The two of them were on equal footing and ruling the country. One Emperor and one Empress, hand in hand.
Chu Xiang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Being the Emperor won't allow you to cultivate. Then won't you have to accompany me for a few decades less?"
Li Yufeng laughed, "You can't bear to part with me? Of course I can't bear to part with you. So when we're done playing, we'll find someone to inherit the throne and go somewhere else to play. Once the throne is given away, won't I be able to continue cultivating? "
"I knew you wouldn't be so honest." Chu Xiang kissed him on the lips and smiled, "Okay, I haven't tried being the Demon Empress yet. Let's play."
