Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

The royal palace at the north end of the city welcomed a new owner. The magnificent palace was decorated with lights and should have been bustling with activity.

However, the atmosphere at the moment was a little tense. For some reason, the third prince had a gloomy face since he entered the palace, and the young Marquis Yongning who followed him also had an ugly expression.

The servants in the palace were all confused and did not dare to get close. No one wanted to get involved in a lawsuit at this time.

As a blood-stained man was brought into the palace, Prince Duan's emotions seemed to become even more uncontrollable.

Feng Zhanye grabbed Wu Fang's collar, his eyes frighteningly sinister.

"What did you say?"

"Young Master, if you want to hit me, go ahead. It is indeed me who has dragged down Brother Gu. I accept the punishment."

Wu Fang's body was covered with wounds, and the blood on his legs almost seeped to his trouser legs. It looked like it was the work of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Nanny Liu ordered the maids around her to go back and close the door before going forward to persuade Feng Zhanye.

"Your Highness, I know you are anxious, but please let Wu Fang go first. Guard Gu is a sensible child and has good skills. He must be trying to get out of this situation by dealing with the Prime Minister's Residence. Let's think of a way to rescue him."

Although Feng Zhanye's expression was still gloomy, he obediently loosened his grip on his hands.

At the signal from Nanny Liu, Qiu Jiang and Qiu Hong helped Wu Fang down to bandage him.

"Mammy, they are trying to provoke me by getting Azhi involved. I have to save her."

Madam Liu nodded: "That's what you said, but if that's the case, the more impulsive you are, the easier it will be for them to take advantage of you. You have to think of other ways."

Gao Ye, who had been silent for a long time, smacked his lips and also felt that this was a difficult matter.

"After all, the Xiangfu has the indenture, so there is nothing wrong with how they deal with the servant. It would be great if there was a legitimate reason to snatch the person away."

"It's not that easy. Even if they report it to the palace, they are still right. But Guard Gu was arrested. I don't know what the situation is now. Sigh."

Aunt Liu looked at the frosty-faced young man and sighed uneasily.

Your Highness is too dependent on Guard Xiao Gu. Looking at his behavior, if he can't think of a solution, he will probably disregard everything and risk destroying everything he has just gained to get the person back.

Although I can understand it, I don’t know if it is a good thing for these two people in the new palace.

The three of them fell silent for a moment, and Feng Zhanye stood up and walked out.

Gao Ye hurried forward to stop him: "Where are you going? Don't be impulsive!"

"Enter the palace and give thanks."

Logically speaking, Feng Zhan Ye should have expressed his gratitude today since he had moved into the new mansion. However, he was not summoned and Emperor Yu's attitude towards him had just softened, so he had no intention of entering the palace at this time.

The current situation is special, and he is not sure to what extent the guilt he feels towards them and their son can support him.

But one thing is certain, that is - Concubine De will definitely help him.

Gao Ye looked at the handsome man in front of him along the way and his face became as dark as a quagmire. He didn't dare to breathe.

He had come along because he was really worried. If he were in front of the emperor, he could help say a few words.

There was still some time before the morning court ended, so the two of them went to Ganning Palace to pay their respects to Concubine De.

Concubine De had already prepared a banquet in her own palace. When she saw Feng Zhanye coming, her face was full of joy and she asked the two to sit down quickly.

"I thought you were coming, but I didn't expect you to come so early. His Majesty has been very busy with government affairs recently. After the court session, he had to discuss government affairs with the ministers, so he didn't have time to summon you. But he also told me that as long as you come, he will entertain you well."

The two of them sat down, with a table full of delicious breakfast in front of them.

"I am grateful for the reward from my father, and I am also very grateful for the care of the Empress Defei and Mr. Gao."

The young man raised the corners of his lips, and although he was worried, he smiled politely.

Concubine De waved her hand and said, "You and I are mother and son, let's not talk about this. Concubine Hui took good care of me in the past, and you saved me and the Gao family from danger at Yunsheng Temple. I am just doing my part."

Feng Zhanye shook his head: "You helped me clear my name, I am very grateful. I was able to move out of the Prime Minister's Mansion smoothly thanks to Lord Gao and the young Marquis Yongning."

Concubine De frowned. She was afraid that the left prime minister and his son would do something weird again, so she specially asked her brother to go and pick them up in person. Why did it sound like something happened?

She asked Rong Xu to send away all the outsiders in the hall and closed the door before asking.

"Is it the Zuo Xiang and his son who are making things difficult for you again?"

Gao Ye smiled awkwardly: "It's not a big deal, it's just... two guards who were originally taking care of Prince Duan were detained."

He told Concubine De the whole story, from how his father went to the Prime Minister's residence to pick someone up to how the Left Prime Minister and his son suddenly detained the person.

After hearing this, Concubine De smiled and said, "Look at your expression. I wonder what the matter is. It's just two guards. I'll pick out a few good ones and send them to your house tomorrow."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that they took very good care of me when I was in the Prime Minister's Residence. I want to take them back to the Palace."

"Prince Duan, those who accomplish great things do not pay attention to small details. If you take two guards to heart, there will be more and more obstacles on your way to succession in the future."

This is indeed the art of being an emperor. Concubine De is right.

However, I can give up on anyone except Gu Qingzhi.

Gao Ye saw Feng Zhanye's embarrassment and took over the conversation, "Aunt, have you forgotten that one of them was the guard who helped me sneak into Yunsheng Temple to rescue you. He also got the joint letter back for us."

"I remember that the young guard had some skills, but now everything is centered on Prince Duan. It wouldn't be worth it for us to go head-to-head with the Left Prime Minister for him. Hasn't he decided to stay voluntarily? It's just a pity."

Defei obviously knew the intentions of the two men, and she interrupted her nephew's words while chatting and laughing.

Now that Feng Zhan Ye and the Gao family are in the same boat, there is nothing wrong with what Concubine De said. Gao Ye opened his mouth but remained silent.

The young man next to her suddenly stood up and bowed to Concubine De.

"I understand what Madam Defei means, but in my current situation, there are only a few people I can trust, and it will take time to train her again. She is the only person I can trust. This time, the Prime Minister's Mansion detained her, and it was clearly targeting me. If I back down now, how can I gain a foothold in the court in the future?"

Gao Ye heard this and recalled what Wu Fang had just said about the situation in the Prime Minister's Residence. He quickly took over the conversation, "Who knows, when His Majesty discusses matters with that old fox after the court session, Prince Duan might be the first to be sued by him. If that happens, Aunt, we will be in a passive position!"

There was silence in Gan Ning Palace. Gao Ye and Feng Zhanye were waiting for Concubine De's answer.

The woman sitting in the upper seat was silent for a while, nodded slightly, and called Rong Xu over.

"Go prepare some ginseng soup tonic, and the two of you will follow me and wait outside the Imperial Library."
