When Gu Feiyan returned to Prince Jing's estate, she immediately cast the matter of the Qi family to the back of her mind and hurriedly went to find Xia Xiaoman.

"I heard that His Highness was punished by the emperor and went to the Great Tzu Temple to reflect on his mistake?"

"Humph!"

Xia Xiaoman turned around and left proudly, but as soon as he left Gu Feiyan's line of sight, he ran to Mang Zhong to ask about it. After all, he didn't know where his master was either.

At this moment, Jun Jiuchen was playing chess with the Celestial Emperor in his palace.

The expression of the Tianwu Emperor was still not bad, but he couldn't sit there for too long. Jun Jiuchen sat across from the Imperial Concubine as she leaned against him.

The chessboard made of gold silk and zhennan wood is exquisite in atmosphere; the black and white chess made of jade stone is luxurious and elegant. The father and son pair had just started, and the game had yet to be completed.

The Tianwu Emperor didn't seem to be paying attention to the board as he would occasionally raise his eyes to look at Jun Jiuchen. On the contrary, Jun Jiuchen was focused on the board.

It was just the two of them in the room, the servant and the imperial physician outside.

In the silence, Jun Jiuchen picked up Bai Zi, but he didn't put him down. Instead, he lightly tapped the chessboard, seeming to be deep in thought, seemingly hesitating. His knuckles were long and straight, and his beauty was striking enough to make a plate of jade lose its luster.

The Tianwu Emperor glanced at it and said indifferently, "My heart is restless." What, you still can't find the real culprit? "

Even though the Tianwu Emperor was also waiting for news from the justice courts, he was not very interested in the details.

"Still checking."

Jun Jiuchen said as he landed. Although he seemed calm and collected, he walked with a dangerous move, giving the Tianwu Emperor an extremely good killing intent.

The Celestial Emperor became serious and pondered for a long time before Hei Zi landed. He clearly had the opportunity to encircle and kill them, but he chose to use a conservative method to retreat and defend.

This time, Jun Jiuchen didn't hesitate, and immediately dropped another piece. He took another dangerous step, and the Tianwu Emperor continued to retreat. The father and son duo did not converse any longer. Just like that, one son and one son, one son, one son, one son, one son. Within a few moments, what appeared to be an ordinary situation, yet concealed within surging waves of emotions, and the Heaven Martial Emperor held the upper hand.

As soon as he gained the upper hand, the Celestial Emperor slowed down. Firstly, he was tired, and secondly, he didn't dare to be careless. He knew his son's chess skills too well. Every move that he made seemed to be a dangerous move, but in reality, it was a carefully thought out trap. He could only go step by step and leave the path of retreat. No prince would dare to defeat him, but the King of Concord would. If he were to be careless, he would definitely lose all of them.

Not long after, the Tianwu Emperor suddenly coughed. Jun Jiuchen was about to call for an imperial physician, but he stopped him.

"There's no need. It's rare for Zhen to be in good spirits to play chess with you. If you continue calling for the imperial physician to harass me, Zhen will chase you away as well!"

"Yes."

Jun Jiuchen didn't shout. He poured a cup of water and personally fed it to the Tianwu Emperor. His movements were careful and respectful, but there was no sense of intimacy in them. When he was done, he immediately sat back down.

He said, "Imperial Father's complexion has been looking good for the past few days. According to Imperial Physician Su, your son's prescription from Shen Nong Valley has taken effect daily. Imperial Father will definitely be able to recover after a while."

Heaven Martial Emperor's illness was in his lungs. His cough did not recuperate, and he became weaker and weaker.

According to Imperial Physician Su's diagnosis at the end of last year, it wasn't a very optimistic one. If the winter didn't recover, then the summer would be even worse. It wouldn't last until autumn. Last year, Jun Jiuchen spent half a year to search for a prescription, and finally placed a bounty on it in the God Farmer Valley.

Jun Jiuchen was undoubtedly testing the waters when he brought up this matter.

"My own body knows that there is no need for you to comfort me."

His tone sounded like he was chatting, but in reality, it was a question. For such a big matter, Jun Jiuchen was the first to end it, and the Tianwu Emperor was very dissatisfied.

"This son has passed on my royal father's words to the Military Department. Lord Lin of the Military Department has probably misunderstood. This son and subject learned of this matter the next day. It was already too late for them to stop him. This son has come today to report this to royal father! This son has done something unfavorable, so I ask royal father to bestow punishment upon me. "

Jun Jiuchen had clearly given a hint to Lord Lin, but he had pushed it away with just a few words.

After the Tianwu Emperor received the news, he had already pondered for two to three days. He had not figured out the purpose of Prince Jing's actions, nor did he think that it would be beneficial for him. Now that he heard the Jing King's explanation, he could only give up.

He had already instructed the Military Department's Lord Lin to be lenient towards the Qi family the day before yesterday. He did not want to disrupt the balance between the Qi and Cheng families. It had to be said that the Qi Cheng two clans were not only related to the two great armies, but also to the two great factions within the Sky Flame Dynasty. He especially didn't want the Cheng Family to overshadow the Qi Family. It wasn't hard to bribe Qi Shiming's subordinates, but Cheng Wenfei's subordinates were all loyal followers.

Soldiers loyal only to the general, but not to the Son of Heaven.

What the Tianwu Emperor was truly afraid of was the Cheng Clan. It had been Qi Shiming who had plotted the death of Old General Cheng, but he had also given his tacit consent.

The Tianwu Emperor nodded and didn't continue asking.

He rested for a moment, then asked, "Did you find out what had happened at the Great Tzu Tzu Temple?"

Imperial Physician Su had seen the forged medicinal formula before, so naturally the Tianwu Emperor knew about Cheng Yifei's case. Back then, Jun Jiuchen had used the Great Tzu Temple as an excuse to recruit Yan Gufei into the palace, and the Tianwu Emperor was also aware of that. However, he didn't think that Huaining and the Qi Family would be involved in this matter, much less that his most treasured son would spout such rumors and gossip with an unclean girl like Xiaoyao.

Jun Jiuchen's line of sight had long since returned to the chessboard, and only then did he say, "This son of mine does not dare to divulge secrets." At this critical juncture, I'm afraid someone is deliberately spreading rumors. "

When these words were spoken, the Tianwu Emperor seemed to have some guesses, and his eyes flickered with a trace of rage. He suddenly started coughing again. Jun Jiuchen had insisted on teaching the imperial physician, but the Tianwu Emperor had insisted on playing a game of chess.

It was only when it was late at night that Jun Jiuchen finally left the palace. The sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the imperial city. He passed through the city, but did not return to the prince's mansion. Instead, he left the city.

He was tall, with half a lock of black hair, and wore a simple purple robe without any decorations. If it was anyone else who wore the purple robe, it would likely be completely ordinary. However, when it was worn on his body, it gave people an indescribable luxurious, lazy, and noble feeling.

He stood on the roof, in the night, under the faint moonlight, beautiful as a painting.

He looked at the slowly closing city gate, and the corner of his mouth curled up. Just this curve alone gave off a devilishly indolent and unrestrained feeling, just like a jade faced fox hiding its true depths.

After he was certain that Jun Jiuchen wouldn't return, he turned around and walked in the direction of Prince Jing's mansion. He was none other than the old fox that Gu Feiyan had spoken of, the head of Eunuch Wu, the mastermind behind the medicine plan and the food case.

His targets were indeed the Cheng family and the Qi family, but now, his target was Solitary Flying Yan. He had always hated losing, but this time, he lost very happily.

I've failed once and met such an interesting girl, Xiaoyao. It's worth it!

He had been anxiously waiting for Gu Feiyan to investigate him...
