Meng Changzhong's Scheme, Wangxian Dao Sect Arrives!

"Yun'er, if you can say this, then you must have already learned some of the situation from your Imperial Consort and uncle."

"Then I ask you, do you blame your father emperor?" the Emperor asked directly.

"I don't blame him," Chu Yun replied.

"You don't blame him, or you don't dare to?" the Emperor asked again.

"This son truly does not blame Father Emperor!"

"Father Emperor is the ruler of a nation and needs to consider the overall situation of the entire Imperial Dynasty. This son understands Father Emperor very well, and therefore has no blame in his heart," Chu Yun replied earnestly.

The Emperor was very pleased to hear this. "Yun'er, then how do you plan to investigate? And how do you plan to settle accounts with those people...?"

Hearing this, Chu Yun understood that he did not oppose him. Not only that, but he could also provide him with powerful assistance.

The Emperor's guilt towards Chu Yun was one reason.

Secondly, he knew the current situation in the Imperial City, where the Crown Prince's faction was overwhelmingly dominant, which was not what he wanted to see.

"Reporting to Father Emperor, I have not yet formulated a specific plan."

"However, since those behind-the-scenes manipulators back then had the ability to steal me from the Imperial Palace, it is enough to show that their network of connections must be extremely extensive."

"If I were to investigate it on my own, I fear it would not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also drag on for a long time."

"Therefore, I, your son, dare to ask Father Emperor to recommend some capable and skilled individuals. I will personally visit them to invite them and do my best to have them help me."

Meng Changzhong and the Emperor in the room, listening to Chu Yun's words, both guessed his true intentions.

The two of them knew exactly who the masterminds behind the scenes were back then.

Chu Yun's request was nothing more than using it as an excuse to build a network of connections that belonged solely to him.

Moreover, the main reason he said this was because as long as his Father Emperor agreed.

Then he would be equivalent to obtaining the support of the Son of Heaven.

This way, he would have a few more chances to win over the other few forces.

The Emperor was silent for a moment, then finally looked at him and said meaningfully, "Yun'er, do you have confidence in this matter?"

"Father Emperor, in this son's opinion, some things are a struggle whether you fight for them or not. Since that's the case, why not go all out and give it a try?"

"As for confidence, if this son says he has it, will Father Emperor be willing to believe him?"

This conversation between father and son caused Meng Changzhong's expression to change slightly, and he thought to himself, "This Ninth Prince is quite interesting."

"Hahahaha!"

"I naturally trust you."

"Prime Minister, you happen to be here."

"Then from today onwards, you will help Old Ninth investigate those matters from back then. Are you willing?"

The Emperor laughed heartily, then spoke directly to Meng Changzhong.

Chu Yun's gaze involuntarily turned towards Meng Changzhong.

All of them understood that the Emperor was asking Meng Changzhong to take a stand with Chu Yun!

Once the Prime Minister's Mansion declared its position and stood with the Ninth Prince.

Then its influence in the Imperial City would directly increase by several notches.

One must know that Meng Changzhong was the foremost powerful minister in the court. His influence was by no means comparable to people like the Black Iron King and the Prince of Beishan.

After hearing the Emperor's words, Meng Changzhong smiled faintly. "Your Majesty's command, this subject naturally obeys."

"It is indeed a fortunate event to be able to assist the Ninth Prince, such a favored son of heaven."

Chu Yun cupped his hands towards him. "Prime Minister, you flatter me. If I don't understand anything in the future, I will ask the Prime Minister for more advice."

Meng Changzhong smiled faintly. "I will tell you everything I know."

After that, Chu Yun took his leave and left the Imperial Palace not long after.

"How is it? What do you think of this kid?"

After he left, the Emperor directly asked Meng Changzhong.

"He has the aura of an emperor, his cultivation talent is extremely high, his mind is astute, and his actions are decisive. He is almost a perfect successor."

When Meng Changzhong said this, it already represented his very good impression of Chu Yun.

"Yun'er is indeed very good."

"In my current view, he is also the most suitable person to inherit the throne."

"But unfortunately, establishing an heir is easy, but deposing one... is not that simple."

The Emperor paused, then sighed softly.

Meng Changzhong did not refute. A portion of the officials in the court were people from the Empress's faction.

Once the deposition of the heir was proposed, they would definitely jump out to stop it. At that time, the court situation would fall into turmoil, and some chaos might even erupt.

Furthermore, even if the Crown Prince were to be deposed, a reason would be needed, and the Crown Prince would have to commit a grave error.

As the saying goes, "Strike with a righteous cause!"

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is well aware that his opponent is the Crown Prince and the faction behind him."

"Since Your Majesty has asked me to help him, why not make a bigger fuss?"

"Let this conflict escalate quickly?" Meng Changzhong said.

The Emperor looked at him suspiciously, "What other wicked idea do you have?"

Meng Changzhong smiled slightly, "Use some people to give the Eastern Palace and the Empress a warning."

The Emperor understood his meaning, "Since that's the case, then you go ahead."

"Yes."

Chu Yun and Luo Feng returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was already late afternoon.

This trip to the palace had been very rewarding.

Not only did he gain a powerful ally in Meng Changzhong, but he also received his Imperial Father's tacit support!

He was in an excellent mood. After returning to his room, he immediately summoned Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter to have hot pot and chat with him...

Night time.

"Your Highness?"

"Cough cough..."

Luo Feng stood awkwardly outside the door and said softly, "Your Highness, people from the Wangxian Dao Sect are here. They said they have something to give to Your Highness."

Chu Yun's voice came out after a while, "I know. Take them to the reception hall to wait for me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Luo Feng left, Chu Yun, with the help of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, finished cleaning himself and got dressed. He immediately rushed to the reception hall.

In the reception hall.

Commander Luo Feng was entertaining two people from the Wangxian Dao Sect.

One of them was Yang Muqian, the Seventh Elder of the Wangxian Dao Sect from before.

The other was also an old man, tall and thin, with an aura even stronger than Yang Muqian's.

This person was the Third Elder of the Wangxian Dao Sect, named Fang Ziling, a cultivator at the peak of the Nirvana Realm.

A short while later, Chu Yun walked in.

"Ninth Prince!"

Yang Muqian immediately stood up with a smile.

"Elder Yang?"

"And who is this?"

Chu Yun was a little surprised to see his old acquaintance when he walked in.

Luo Feng walked over and introduced him, "Your Highness, this is Elder Fang Ziling of the Wangxian Dao Sect."

"Ninth Prince, it's a pleasure to meet you." Fang Ziling smiled slightly.

"So it's Elder Fang, I've heard so much about you."

"Come, please sit, everyone."

After Chu Yun and the others sat down.

"Your Highness, Elder Fang and I are here mainly to return some items to their rightful owners."

Yang Muqian then took out three storage rings and placed them in front of Chu Yun.

"Return to their rightful owners?"

"What does Elder Yang mean?" Chu Yun was a little confused.

"Your Highness, these items belong to the Nine Splendor Sect and the Ye Family. After our Wangxian Dao Sect collected them, we personally packed the contents and brought them to return to Your Highness," Yang Muqian stated.

Chu Yun then remembered and nodded, "You've been thoughtful."

Afterward, his soul consciousness probed into the three storage rings.

Good heavens!

He didn't know until he probed, and he was directly shocked!!
