Chapter 1050: The tiger returns to the mountain
How could Imperial Doctor Xu say he canât understand? The people who talked were Dongfang Mu, and the other one was Prince Jin. How could he dare say a word of refusal? He immediately nodded his head like garlic: âI understand, I understand.â
After seeing Imperial Doctor Xu leave, Dongfang Mu was also exhausted. Hu Feng didnât seem to have any intention of leaving, so he got up and said: âIâll go back to my room to rest first, you donât have to sit for long, come and play chess with me in a while. â
Hu Feng was afraid that he would force him to leave. Hearing what his master said, asking him to stay for a while, he showed a happy smile: âOkay, master. This disciple will come in a while.â
Looking at Dongfang Muâs increasingly steady footsteps, Bai Zhi smiled even when her chapped lips were pulled.
The maidservant also retired sensible, closed the door outside, covered her mouth, and kept smiling.
Bai Zhi didnât care about this, she poured tea for Hu Feng and let him sit down.
âDo you have something to say?â She asked.
Hu Fengâs eyes fell on the cabinet in the corner of the room: âI saw something in the cabinet, is it all yours?â
Bai Zhi knew what he was talking about. She scolded herself for being too careless. How could she forget to lock it? Those medicines were nothing, he had seen some of them before, but if he saw the tablet, how would she explain it?
âOh, that one, itâs mine.â She pretended to be calm, she showed a light expression on her face.
âI see that there is a strange-looking thing in it, what is that?â He got up and was about to go to the cabinet.
Bai Zhi quickly pulled him back: âItâs nothing, itâs just a tool for curing diseases, you canât understand it even after reading it.â
Being pulled by her, Hu Feng was even more curious. Although Bai Zhi had a calm face, there was a rare trace of panic in her eyes.
What could be that weird thing?
âCanât I take a look?â he asked.
Bai Zhi dryly smiled: âYou canât understand it even if you look at it.â
âOh!â He stepped back and sat back, thinking to himself, that when she wasnât paying attention, he will secretly look at it.
Hu Feng said: âMy imperial father has already written a decree to demote Chu Feng as a commoner and ban him for the rest of his life.â
Bai Zhi frowned: âJust demoted to a commoner?â
Hu Fengâs face slightly darkened as he nodded his head: âYes, not only me and the master but also the ministers in the court are quite disappointed.â
âHe is not afraid of attracting the anger of the people?â
Hu Feng shook his head: âFrom imperial fatherâs point of view, this kind of punishment is already extreme. He canât possibly kill his son.â
âThis is what you called letting the tiger return to the mountain, raising a tiger is a danger!â A person like Chu Feng, with a sinister and ruthless temperament, doesnât admit defeat. Even if he was demoted to a commoner, as long as there will be a chance, he will still make a comeback.
Hu Feng said: âThis is his majestyâs choice. As a subject, I can only do what a subject does, and I have no power over him.â
Bai Zhi didnât talk and just stared at Hu Fengâs face: âWill you sit on this throne?â
Hu Feng didnât hesitate, and immediately responded: âYes.â
After a pause, he said again: âSince I decided to leave Huangtuo Village, I was destined to take this seat.â
As a prince, he has a lot of troops in his hands. If he fails to sit on the throne, then no matter who sits on the throne, the first person who will be eliminated will be him, Chu Yan.
As well as his supporters. Among them, Bai Zhi and his master who has raised him for many years were naturally included.
Therefore, he must sit on the throne, not only for his own sake but also for the people he wanted to protect.
Bai Zhi stayed silent. She couldnât tell what mood she was in, but there was a disappointment.
She thought that he would say that as long as she didnât want him to sit on the emperor, he would give up the throne.
