Following Chief Steward Li into the study room, Qin Feng felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, feeling that the trip was worthwhile.
Back at the Star SeizingTower, he had learned the meaning of luxury.
But after entering the Imperial Palace, he understood what it meant to see the big picture.
After all, he was in the presence of the Emperor, where even tea sets were precious objects that nourished vitality and spirit!
After Emperor Ming left Yong’an Street and returned to the Imperial Palace, he shed the ceremonial robes and donned the dragon robe, exuding the majesty of an emperor.
“I heard that you cured that strange disease?”
Qin Feng clasped his fists and replied respectfully: “Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Good, there is someone here I would like you to treat as well.”
As expected. Qin Feng’s heart skipped a beat, after a moment’s thought, he guessed that it wasn’t difficult to figure out why the emperor had summoned him here.
What remained unknown was who needed his treatment.Was it the Empress, the Mother of the Nation, or the charming Imperial Concubine?
It wasn’t that Qin Feng had any inappropriate thoughts, but most of the men in the palace had cultivated to resist the erosion of curses. That’s why most of the cursed people were ordinary citizens or officials without cultivation.
The palace consorts, who were mostly ordinary women, were naturally more likely to be cursed.
His speculation was reasonable.
Then he heard the emperor speak again, “The person in question is my princess Anya.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly raised his head.
Outside the Main Hall, the Crown Prince was still pacing back and forth, waiting anxiously.
At that moment, a man dressed as a guard hurried over.
“How is it, have you found him?” the Crown Prince hastily inquired.
The guard replied respectfully, “I report to Your Highness that Master Qin is not at his residence; he has gone to Yong’an Street to witness the celebration of the New Ceremony.”
“Why didn’t you go to Yong’an Street to find him?” the Crown Prince exclaimed, unable to contain his concern for his sister’s safety.
“I did go, but by the time I arrived, Master Qin had already been taken away by someone.”
The Crown Prince furrowed his brow, “Who dares to take someone away from me? They’re asking for trouble.”
The bodyguard immediately whispered, “The person who took Lord Qin away is Eunuch Li.”
The Crown Prince wore a strange expression. The only person in the imperial palace who could summon Eunuch Li was the emperor.
In other words, the person who didn’t know his place was his father, the Emperor.
Fortunately, the people here were either loyal to him or his mother. Otherwise, if those words were heard by others, it would definitely be considered treason.
It could easily become an excuse for other imperial princes to attack him.
After all, although he was designated as the heir apparent, the successor to the next emperor, anything could happen before he ascended the throne.
“Well, then I can rest easy. Father must be looking for Qin Feng because of Anya’s illness. If Qin Feng arrives, there may be a chance to save Anya,” the Crown Prince sighed in relief.
Just then, an untimely voice spoke, “The son of a third-tier Assistant General, what kind of skills could he have? Your Highness, you’re putting too much faith in him.”
The Crown Prince turned and frowned, “Why are you here?”
The newcomer was a man dressed in the usual red robes with a four-dragon round collar.
There was a resemblance between him and the Crown Prince, and he was the Third Imperial Prince!
“Anya is ill and of course I’m worried. So I came to visit.”
“No need to visit. Anya is not presentable at the moment. I’ll accept your good intentions on her behalf.”
Their eyes met and sparks of disagreement lit up the air.
Outwardly, all the Imperial Princes appeared to be on good terms with each other, but keen observers knew that the relationships between them were not harmonious, with the Crown Prince and the Third Imperial Prince being the most strained.
If you want to say who among the princes most wants to take away the throne of the crown prince, the third prince is the second, and no one dares to be the first.
Indeed, he had the qualifications, being talented in both civil and military affairs, with many ministers at court supporting him.
Of course, his influence was also due to the Crown Prince’s tarnished reputation.
“It seems that Your Highness doesn’t welcome me.” the Third Imperial Prince said with a smile.
“At this moment, with Anya seriously ill, I wouldn’t smile if I were you.” the Crown Prince replied coldly.
Hearing this, the Third Imperial Prince slowly withdrew his smile, “Your Highness is right. I was being presumptuous.”
Just as the tension between them escalated, a guard arrived to report, “I report to Your Highness, Eunuch Li has arrived with someone.”
“Who did he bring?” The Crown Prince seemed to have guessed something and asked.
“A handsome young man dressed in black. According to Eunuch Li, he is addressed as Lord Qin.”
The Crown Prince’s eyes lit up and the Third Imperial Prince narrowed his eyes.
‘Ya’an, Anya, well, as a princess of the dynasty, not only did she disguise herself as a man to travel, even her chosen alias is so casual. Is she that bold?’
On the way to Anya’s palace, Qin Feng couldn’t help but mutter.
Looking back now, all these unreasonable aspects could be perfectly explained.
No wonder Wang Xu and Mo Lintian were so powerful. No wonder she always had such a proud demeanour.
As a princess of a country, how could she not be proud?
He felt deceived, or rather, he felt that he had deceived himself miserably.
“The young master of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion in Yulin City, I’m afraid the entire Gathering Treasure Pavilion belongs to her.”
“Speaking of which, besides the demons running amok, there are bandits everywhere in the Great Qian. How can she dare to wander around as a princess? Isn’t she afraid of being kidnapped by bandits and becoming the wife of their leader?”
You know, this kind of colourful plot was not uncommon in the novels he read in his past life.
There’s always a delicate young lady who catches the eye of the bandit leader, gets kidnapped back to the mountain stronghold, and then lives a carefree, ahem, miserable life with no one paying attention to her even if she screamed at her throat?
“Oh, wait, she’s dressed as a man.” Qin Feng suddenly realised.
Unless the bandit is as good as Long Yang, he shouldn’t be able to kidnap a handsome young man.
“She is both a princess and the young master of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, and she still insists on wrangling with me over the profits from those few taverns. Truly hateful!”
“If it were in my previous life, she would definitely be a ruthless capitalist, ruthlessly exploiting the lower-class working people.”
“No, after lifting the curse for her this time, the next time I see her, I must reclaim both the principal and the interest.”
“The profits from the tavern are absolutely non-negotiable, and I also need to carefully consider the rewards promised for the fireworks and firecrackers. By the way, I once saved her life.”
Qin Feng calculated various things in his mind and decided to go back and think carefully about the compensation he should demand.
Suddenly, Eunuch Li, who was leading the way, turned around and said, “Master Qin, we have arrived.”
Qin Feng’s figure stopped, looked up, and saw the three large characters of An Ya Palace.
Qin Feng’s figure paused, looking up, only to see the large characters of “Anya Palace.”
Outside the palace, two men were standing, and from their attire, Qin Feng could roughly guess their identities. His expression turned serious.
