Bai Susu listened to Feng Qiwu’s words and rolled her eyes at him.
Isn’t it more like a ginormous amount?
Seeing Bai Susu actually roll her eyes at him, Feng Qiwu raised an eyebrow, "Susu, why the expression? Am I wrong?"
Hearing this, Bai Susu looked at him speechlessly, "Do you know what Versailles means?"
"Versailles? What does that mean?" Feng Qiwu looked at her in confusion.
"It’s a word I read in a book, and in plain language, it means—acting pretentious under the guise of humility!" Bai Susu said word by word.
"So, you think I was being pretentious just now?" Feng Qiwu’s mouth twitched.
"Wasn’t it? What does ’only a little smarter than others’ mean? Your little bit is in trillions, right?"
Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but laugh silently at this.
So in her world, showing off is called Versailles?
But in Susu’s eyes, it seems he is actually this remarkable?
Thinking of this, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but feel delighted, "I understand now, you were actually praising me for being amazing."
Even though it’s true, is it really okay to be this immodest?
But she still nodded helplessly, "Yes, I was just praising you."
But in her heart, she thought: But despite being this powerful, you still ended up dead by your own hands.
Simultaneously, her determination to completely eradicate Feng Qiwu’s inner demons grew stronger.
Only when his mind is completely healthy will he not walk the old path again.
And Feng Qiwu, hearing Bai Susu’s words, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
He liked Susu’s straightforwardness.
When she praises, she does it openly.
If she finds something bad, she’ll also say it directly.
Unlike some people, always hesitating, under the guise of goodwill, hiding things and not saying them.
Books like that would make him feel suffocated and boring, let alone meeting people like that.
So falling in love with Susu was the most natural thing.
Meanwhile, the Hidden Guard sent by Feng Qingyang had already relayed the message that the bandits at Xiayu Pass had all been slain by Feng Qiwu.
Seeing the message from the Hidden Guard, Feng Qingyang couldn’t feel happy.
"Are you sure the Crown Prince killed so many people single-handedly?" Feng Qingyang said with a somber face.
When did the Crown Prince become this powerful?
No matter how many Golden Scale Guards there are, they probably can’t protect him from the Crown Prince now.
For a moment, Feng Qingyang felt like there was a sword hanging over his head, threatening to stab down at any moment.
And the Hidden Guard, straining his voice, said, "Yes, I’ve already checked. All the wounds on the people at Xiayu Pass were caused by the same weapon, and not even chickens or dogs were spared."
With these words, Feng Qingyang instead let out a sigh of relief.
"You mean, the Crown Prince didn’t even spare the animals at Xiayu Pass?" Feng Qingyang asked.
"Yes." The Hidden Guard nodded.
At the time, seeing the ground littered with corpses, even someone like him who had seen countless brutal scenes and claimed countless lives, was shocked.
At what point of madness did the Crown Prince have to be, to massacre tens of thousands in one night, without sparing a single beast?
If he suddenly went mad in the Capital City, could the Golden Scale Guards really stop him?
At that point, the whole Capital City’s population may not be enough for him to kill.
Feng Qingyang narrowed his eyes at this and then waved his hand, "I see, you may go now."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Hidden Guard immediately retreated.
After he left, Feng Qingyang let out a cold snort.
Seeing this, Li Cheng immediately stepped forward, "Your Majesty, it seems the Crown Prince’s madness is becoming more severe. Luckily, it didn’t erupt during the autumn hunt, or else it would’ve been dangerous."
"Yes, lucky it didn’t erupt during the autumn hunt." Feng Qingyang nodded.
He then continued, "And who knows when the Crown Prince’s next episode will be, if we can’t control him then..."
At this, Feng Qingyang sighed deeply.
In his heart, he thought coldly: Next time, the Crown Prince better be uncontrollably insane, so I can issue a kill order publicly!
In this way, no one can blame this emperor for being cruel and ruthless, for killing his own child.
After all, it was the Crown Prince who brought it on himself, and it’s for everyone’s safety that he had no choice but to eliminate him.
Li Cheng naturally understood Feng Qingyang’s thoughts, so he cautiously said, "If he cannot be controlled, then Your Majesty must prioritize righteousness and eliminate kin. You cannot disregard the innocent just to protect the Crown Prince."
"You are right, I just never thought the Crown Prince’s madness would become uncontrollable." Feng Qingyang said with a saddened expression.
"Your Majesty need not blame yourself. Everyone has their destiny. The Crown Prince sits where he does entirely because of your support, and you have already done enough for him." Li Cheng said.
He knew Feng Qingyang had harbored the intent to kill the Crown Prince for a long time. The source of this content ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
Such words now were only to accommodate Feng Qingyang’s thoughts, to make him feel that his actions were not wrong.
However, while the emperor’s intention is good,
will it be effective when put into practice?
Hehe, let’s wait and see.
The child that the Empress fought to give birth to wasn’t someone who could be easily killed.
Otherwise, why would the emperor, despite already wanting to choke the Crown Prince long ago, still tolerate him until now, refusing to replace him?
Simply put, he’s still afraid the Empress’s last words will come true, fearing that the hard-won Great Qin’s reign would be undone.
After hearing Li Cheng’s words, Feng Qingyang nodded and said, "You’re right, everyone has their destiny. If the Crown Prince is uncontrollable, then I must harden my heart."
"Your Majesty, you are doing this for everyone; no one will blame you." Li Cheng said softly.
Yet he thought: But when you descend to the underworld, whether or not the Empress will beat you up, is something I wouldn’t know.
At this moment, Lin Changqing had just arrived near Xiayu Pass.
Yet before taking action, he got the news that there was no need to climb the mountain.
Because the bandits had already been dealt with by the Crown Prince.
Lin Changqing was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
"When did the Crown Prince arrive?" How come I didn’t know?
"General, the Crown Prince arrived five days ago, and now the bandits’ bodies at Xiayu Pass are already decomposing."
I seem to hear you mocking me for being late.
However, his heart was filled with excitement.
The Crown Prince truly lives up to his reputation; when he acts, it’s indeed astonishing.
For him to single-handedly handle so many bandits.
Crown Prince is awesome!
Long live the Crown Prince!
