Xiang Yun's contention, which had originally been aimed at Xiang Yun, was now aimed at his uncle!

As for Xiang Kun and Xiang s.h.i.+ru, the two siblings stood there foolishly in a daze. Their faces were filled with shock and they didn't know what to do.

Xiang Fei and Xiang Chang An, on the other hand, were overjoyed. Xiang Fei couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Xiang Yun's calm and composed expression.

"This fellow's mouth is so dead that it can be said to be alive!"

Xiang Fei naturally understood Xiang Yun's personality. When had this fellow ever been taken advantage of, and when had he ever swallowed his anger before?

Such a master that never suffered a loss, and now that he met the arrogant and despotic uncle and Mu Qianxing, how could he endure humiliation like this and consider the bigger picture?

They probably hadn't jumped up yet, but if they had been killed, that would have been their good fortune.

As for the princes and princesses present, all of them were dumbfounded at this moment. None of them dared to say a word because none of them knew the truth behind this matter and they had no way of making a judgment.

Besides, even if they knew the truth, they could not interrupt now. This was related to the entire northwest, and it was related to Prince Jian. There was also conflict between the imperial uncle and empress, so how could they partic.i.p.ate?

Whoever got involved in this kind of incident and offended any side would be in trouble. The best course of action would be to keep quiet and let the two sides deal with each other, and only the emperor would uphold justice.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiang Yun's story, the originally calm Xiang Lingfeng's eyes immediately revealed a sharp glint. His expression darkened as he shouted out in a stern voice.

"How dare you! As the uncle of a kingdom, and the son of an important official, the imperial court dared to act so arrogantly and create rumors. They dared to speak such outrageous words."

The moment this was said, everyone's hearts turned cold. They felt a cold killing intent!

"Your Majesty!"

When Empress Tu saw Xiang Lingfeng's anger, she finally woke up with a start and said with a panicked expression.

"Your Majesty, your little brother has always been obedient since he was young. He has a kind personality, how could he be so bold as to say such outrageous words? There must be something fishy about it!"

"Chenqie said something unpleasant. Those words just now were said by His Highness the crown prince alone. They might have been filled with errors."

Faced with the questioning gazes of the crowd, Xiang Yun remained incomparably calm on the surface as he cupped his hands in a magnanimous manner.

"Imperial Uncle, how could your nephew deceive you? If the Empress doesn't believe it, you can find someone outside the city gates to confront them and interrogate them."

"At that time, there were many people present who could testify for your nephew. Your nephew is willing to swear on your head that there will be no lies!"

Hearing the Empress's doubts, Xiang Yun was overjoyed in his heart. He had already successfully focused this matter onto one point, and that was whether or not his Imperial Uncle had said such a thing.

His previous actions were no longer the main focus. He had successfully diverted the attention of the crowd, and had even grabbed the attention of the imperial uncle. It could be said that he had hit a snake seven inches away, hitting its vital points with a single strike!

The moment he said this, Xiang Lingfeng's brow creased, as if he were pondering over this matter.

Empress Tu felt her heart tighten as she looked at Xiang Yun. Seeing how he was so unperturbed and unafraid, she actually felt guilty.

Back then, the Grand Preceptor's estate had sent people to inform them that Xiang Yun had beaten up his Imperial Aunt in public, and she had immediately come to exonerate him.

He thought that with his current ident.i.ty and status, even if Xiang Yun was Silver City's heir, he would have to sue him and make him suffer a little. That would not be something that could be done in a few words.

Who knew that not only had the crown prince not been intimidated by her status, but he had returned the favor with another method. He had taken a step back in order to advance in the opposite direction and had even raised the charges against him to a higher level.

Thinking of these possibilities, Empress Tu's expression changed again and again. After weighing the pros and cons, she finally clenched her teeth and bowed to Xiang Lingfeng.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, it was Three Autumn's fault. After all, His Highness the crown prince was a guest who came from afar, yet Three Autumn's actions were so inconsiderate and hostile."

"Even if there was some misunderstanding, I really shouldn't have done it. Chenqie will definitely teach her well and have my father discipline her severely this time!"

"It was all thanks to His Highness' courage and foresight that this misunderstanding was resolved, allowing Sanqiu to receive the appropriate lesson. As the older sister, I naturally have to thank His Highness for teaching my younger brother!"

"Hehe, Empress, why are you saying this? We're all family, there's no need to be so polite." Xiang Yun's smile was warm, and he was incomparably humble.

Empress Tu looked at the radiant smile on the face in front of her. She was so angry that she wanted to tear the body into a thousand pieces, but she still had to maintain her composure and smile.

At this point, Xiang Lingfeng paused for a moment before saying with a solemn expression, "The empress must also take care of Uncle Guo this time. Don't let him make any more mistakes. If he says such outrageous words, don't blame me for not remembering our family!"

Hearing this, Empress Tu's face turned slightly pale, and her heart shuddered in fear!

He naturally understood Xiang Lingfeng's meaning, this was undoubtedly a severe warning, otherwise his Imperial Uncle would not have been able to escape this calamity.

"This …"

"Chenqie thanks the Emperor for his grace. Chenqie will leave the palace immediately and pa.s.s on the emperor's decree to my father so that he can properly discipline my brother. When he gets better, he will personally apologize to the crown prince and the three lords!"

After saying that, Empress Tu was no longer willing. She stayed here for a moment longer, and came aggressively in front of a group of juniors. But now, she had left with a face full of dust, causing Empress Tu to feel no more face as she also hated Xiang Yun to the core.

As Empress Tu left in quick steps, just as she was about to cross the threshold of the great hall, she heard Xiang Yun's concerned voice come from behind her.

"Esteemed empress, the imperial uncle's body is weak and weak, p.r.o.ne to fainting, probably due to his lack of kidney energy. In two days, my nephew will definitely personally send two 'big turtles' to the Grand Preceptor's estate to supplement the imperial uncle's health."

Hearing this, Empress Tu almost stumbled over the threshold, her ample chest heaving violently a few times. She finally calmed down and turned to look at Xiang Yun in the great hall, maintaining her smile as she spoke.

When Empress Tu turned around after she finished speaking, her face was already covered in frost!

Inside Mu De Hall, the corner of Xiang Yun's mouth raised into a sneer as he watched Empress Tu's back as she left!

Once Empress Tu had left, Xiang Lingfeng immediately announced the start of the banquet. However, after the previous incident, the atmosphere of the banquet was clearly somewhat gloomy.

Seeing their mother leave in such a sorry state, Xiang Kun and Xiang Xi naturally hated Xiang Yun to the core.

Other than Xiang Changan and Xiang Fei, the other heirs and prefectures also drank a cup of wine in a courteous manner, not daring to speak any further, not daring to be too intimate with Xiang Yun.

Xiang Lingfeng, on the other hand, was as indifferent as ever, as if nothing had happened. He chatted amiably with Xiang Yunxiang and asked a lot of questions about the local customs and customs of the northwest.

Xiang Lingfeng had asked Xiang Yun to tell him about the changes that had occurred in Silver City in the past few years. Back then, it was also Xiang Yun's grandfather who had ruled over the land, choosing the capital of the Empire of Feng Yun. Xiang Lingfeng had considered going to Silver City with the Great Ancestor many times.

However, upon hearing Xiang Lingfeng ask about Silver City, his chopsticks suddenly stopped for a moment before returning to normal.

Xiang Yun then began to narrate the most unique dishes, the most beautiful scenery, or perhaps the tavern's wine was the most fragrant, the profits of all the craftsmen on the streets …

From the looks of it, if he did not stop, he would not be able to finish it in the morning. However, from the south to the north, from the east to the west, he did not mention anything about the matter of the 'Prince's Mansion' at all.

In the end, Xiang Lingfeng smiled faintly as he listened, but his words seemed to be inadvertently interjected.

"However, I heard that my Royal Brother followed the great army to Silver City. I predicted that he would have returned to his residence by now."

My royal father has already been back in Silver City for many days. Although his injuries have yet to heal, he has mostly recovered and has often talked about it, wanting to come to the Dragon City to pay your respects. "

"Oh?" A sharp light flashed across Xiang Lingfeng's eyes when he heard this. Immediately, he spoke with a pleased expression.
