On the surface, this mission seemed to conflict with the previous mission, but in reality, there was no conflict at all.
The previous mission was to help Zhu Youxiao ascend the throne, and this mission was to help the Li family handle government affairs behind the curtain.
Madam Li was Zhu Youxiao's mother in name. The two of them were connected to each other. If Zhu Youxiao could not ascend the throne, Madam Li would not be able to control the government behind the curtain.
Consort Li was an extremely ambitious woman. Her family was also quite capable. The key was that this woman was not very smart in doing things. She was even a little stupid.
In history, the 'Palace Flipping Case' was her greatest failure.
The old emperor was dead, and this woman actually detained Zhu Youxiao in her own palace. The ministers had no choice but to fall out with her.
She didn't even think about it herself. She was Zhu Youxiao's adoptive mother, and her son had ascended the throne. She was the Empress Dowager, so why would she need to snatch it away?
Therefore, the most important thing now was to persuade this woman to help Zhu Youxiao ascend the throne.
Bi Luo Palace.
As Tang Feng had guessed, Consort Li was indeed here.
It wasn't just her. Inside and outside Bi Luo Palace, there were guards and eunuchs everywhere. All of them were Li Shi's personal attendants.
Tang Feng was not an outsider, so he entered Bi Luo Palace without being stopped.
At this moment, the little crown prince of Bi Luo Palace was standing there in fear. Consort Li's face was cold as she said something.
Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Xi Sect was an incompetent emperor. Before he ascended the throne, he was most afraid of the Li Consortium. When he saw the Li Consortium, he was like a mouse that had seen a cat.
"Little Wei greets the Imperial Consort and the Crown Prince.”Tang Feng pretended to bow.
"No need." Consort Li waved her hand.
Crown Prince Zhu You stood there gracefully. His eyes would occasionally cast a pleading look at Tang Feng.
Looking at the Crown Prince's state, Tang Feng sighed in his heart. Indeed, he was a piece of mud that could not be helped to the wall.
"Why are you here so late at night?”Consort Li looked at Tang Feng, and her luck became much calmer.
"Empress, this lowly one has something to discuss with you.”Tang Feng did not waste any time and went straight to the point.
Madam Li looked at Tang Feng and then at Zhu Youxiao.
"Come with me."
Tang Feng followed Consort Li into the inner side of the hall.
"Empress, His Majesty has passed away. At this time, you and the Crown Prince should and must be at the Hall of Cultural Splendor. Why do you want to force the Crown Prince to stay in Bi Luo Palace?”Tang Feng looked at Consort Li and said in a low voice.
Consort Li's expression darkened when she heard Tang Feng's words.
"Are you here to persuade me to send the Crown Prince to the Hall of Cultural Splendor?”
"Niangniang is muddle-headed. You are the Crown Prince's adoptive mother. Once the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, you will be the rightful Empress Dowager. Moreover, the Crown Prince has always respected you.”Tang Feng said anxiously.
Consort Li, who was originally a little angry, fell silent when she heard Tang Feng's words.
That's right, the Crown Prince had always been afraid of her. Moreover, she was the Crown Prince's adoptive mother. If the Crown Prince ascended the throne, wouldn't she be the rightful Empress Dowager?
"But, his birth mother, Wang…”
How did the Crown Prince's mother, the Madam Wang, die? Wasn't it the work of Madam Li in secret? Madam Li was also afraid that if the truth was exposed, the Crown Prince would turn against her after finding out.
It was also because of this reason that the Li family had a guilty conscience, forcing the Crown Prince to stay in her palace, forcing the Crown Prince to make her the Empress Dowager.
"Niangniang, you are usually so smart, so why are you so muddle-headed on this matter? Don't you know the capabilities of our Crown Prince? As long as you rope in and support a group of officials, even if the Crown Prince knows about what happened back then, what can he do to you?”Tang Feng said.
Just like that, Tang Feng guided her patiently. The facts proved that Consort Li was really moved when she heard his words.
"The most important thing now is for you to personally bring the Crown Prince to the Hall of Cultural splendor and let the Crown Prince ascend the throne as soon as possible.”Tang Feng continued.
"Alright, bengong will listen to you.”Consort Li was silent for a long time before she raised her head. Her beautiful face was no longer as cold as before, but more gentle.
Consort Li walked forward and leaned into Tang Feng's embrace. Tang Feng stretched out his hand and hugged her graceful and alluring body. The two of them were in this side hall and were intimate.
When the two of them left the side hall one after another, Crown Prince Zhu Youxiao was still standing there in a panic.
"My son, let's go to the Hall of Cultural Splendor.”Madame Lee walked up to the Crown Prince and held his arm as she spoke softly.
Crown Prince Zhu Youxiao stood there. When he heard Consort Li's words, he was stunned for a moment before he felt a burst of joy in his heart.
He looked at Tang Feng with gratitude in his eyes.
Although he wasn't a very smart person, he wasn't stupid either. He could naturally tell that the reason why his adoptive mother changed her mind was all because of Little Wei.
The pitiful Crown Prince only thought that he would reward Tang Feng well when he became the Emperor, but he did not know that Tang Feng was secretly scheming.
Just like that, the Crown Prince and Consort Li, under the protection of Tang Feng and a group of guards, majestically made their way towards the Hall of Cultural splendor.
At this moment, the side of the Hall of Cultural splendor was already in a mess.
The old emperor died, but the crown prince was nowhere to be seen. The entire palace was searched, but no one could find him.
As the Crown Prince's study companion, Wang An could only bring a group of eunuchs outside to look for the Crown Prince after being scolded by the cabinet elder.
In the dusky imperial garden, Wang An led a few tall and burly eunuchs, looking around in a panic for the Crown Prince.
"Search carefully. If you can't find the Crown Prince today, you will all lose your heads.”
Wang An stood there with a long face, throwing a tantrum at the eunuchs.
Hai Dafu, who had received Tang Feng's order, had been hiding in the dark since the beginning, following Wang An and the others to the Imperial Garden.
After the guards and eunuchs dispersed, Hai Dafu found the right opportunity to walk out of the darkness.
"Who is it?" Wang An saw the black shadow and asked loudly.
Hai Dafu didn't say a word and walked forward.
"Who are you?" Wang An felt that something was wrong and took two steps back as he questioned loudly.
The head eunuch was smart. He questioned her loudly in order to attract the eunuchs around.
"Someone who wants your life." Hai Dafu's voice was icy cold.
Wang An's expression suddenly changed. He wanted to turn around and escape, but unfortunately, before he could even take two steps, Hai Dafu waved his hand, and a hidden force flew out and hit Wang An's back.
Then, they saw Wang An's burly body slowly weaken. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a pile of blood.
Just like that, Wang An, the chief eunuch of the Ming Xi Sect, completely vanished from the face of the earth.
