Faced with the laughter of everyone, even Xu Yan, who was hiding behind the screen, couldn't help but clench his fists and wished he could rush up now and beat up all the people who insulted Yun Qi. But Yun Qi, who was in front of them, accepted their ridicule calmly. He curled his lips and chuckled: "Caomin is such an ignorant person. I will only recognize Xu in my life."

His words were calm, and his neither humble nor arrogant behavior shocked these people and Xu Yan behind the screen. Xing Feng frowned and finally expressed the purpose of his people coming today: "Brother Yun, why do you think about it? Then the empress may not be so good. The person in charge of power is your own grandfather. Think about it, if it were him in a hundred years, where would he find a crown prince as outstanding as you?"

He said the word "Chu Jun" without any concealment, which surprised Yunqi and Xu Yan. But the others present seemed to have already agreed to this fact and did not show any too intense performance. Xu Yan cursed in his heart: These ministers are really aware of people but not their hearts. Such a wolf-like ambition has been serving her for so long.

However, before she could take action, Yun Qi said to them first: "Sorry, I am just a civilian who has never participated in the spring exam. How can I bear the responsibility of your brother Yun? Besides, my grandfather is my grandfather, and I am me. My grandfather wants me to do it, and I may not be able to bear it. If something goes wrong, I will only suffer, but you know the weight of this position. Are you really at ease to hand over Xu Guo to me?"

In fact, what Yun Qi is talking about now is exactly what these people were worried about before coming. Although they agree with Yun Lang's ability, they have never known such a young boy like Yun Qi. Not to mention that Yun Qi is just a civilian now, even if he is a fourth-rank minister, it is not qualified in their eyes.

In fact, there are not many people who are willing to follow Yunlang. Most of them are willing to stand in Yunlang's faction because Yunlang wants to change the system of Xu and his degree of protection for aristocratic families. The reason why they unanimously agreed to let Yunlang be the head of the government is because the major families have not yet thought about the plans for the fight for and distribution of interests, so they have no intention of dealing with these matters for the time being.

Anyway, according to the Imperial Doctor, Yun Lang's body can only last for another three to five years. By the time the political and economic situation of Xu State stabilizes, the major families have already had complete ideas and plans for the distribution of interests. It is not too late to seize the so-called throne.

So they never thought about establishing a crown prince. In their eyes, Yun Lang was just a puppet at their mercy, let alone Yun Qi, who had nothing? Now Xing Feng and others are just people who want to test Yun Qi's mind. They need to identify a series of people who may have an impact on their interests as soon as possible.

Xing Feng smiled. Although he had already put his guard down, he still could not eliminate his suspicion of Yunqi. His eyes rolled, wanting to come up with some new ways to make things difficult for Yunqi. His eyes swept across every decoration in the room, vases, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, screens, dry ink in the inkstone and... screens! Xing Feng's eyes quickly returned to the screen that he had just passed by quickly, and a corner of the clothes was exposed in the lower left corner of the screen.

When Xu Yan heard the sudden quiet conversation, a ripples appeared in her heart. She accidentally lowered her head and saw the corner of her clothes that was floating out accidentally. Xu Yan's heart suddenly rose, and she had a premonition that they must have discovered her! Xu Yan hurriedly looked around, trying to hide in a place.

But it was too late, Xing Feng's footsteps and his joking laughter were approaching step by step: "I didn't expect you to have the habit of hiding a beautiful woman in the golden house? But this time I'm afraid I'm going to offend you, so the canary should pluck her hair and take good care of her at home. If you want to peck someone, don't blame others for being rude." After speaking, his tone turned sharply, and he actually felt a bit bloodthirsty.

Yun Qi also realized what he had discovered. He noticed Xu Yan's clothes just when Xing Feng's eyes fell on the screen, but Xing Feng's reaction was too fast and he would startle the snake no matter what he did. A cold light suddenly appeared in Yun Qi's eyes: If Xing Feng insisted on going behind the screen to find out, he would not mind taking over his life first. It's a pity that Xing Feng has not used it thoroughly yet...

Just when Yun Qi's knife in his sleeve was secretly ready, Xing Feng was about to step into the screen. At the critical moment, only a crisp "pop" sound could be heard in the air. Yun Qi quickly put the knife in his sleeve back and looked forward. Xu Yan had walked out of the screen and slapped Xing Feng hard.

Xing Feng, who was beaten to the point of his face, didn't say a word, but Xu Yan knew that he hadn't reacted yet. So she simply kicked his knees and told him to kneel down. The two behind Xing Feng were shocked when they saw Xu Yan, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted Xu Yan: "I'm going to see Your Majesty!" Xu Yan did not respond to them, but walked in front of them and gave them a kick.

Xing Feng and his group were left with no thoughts by this sudden change. They didn't understand why the rumored Empress, who had long died, would appear here at this moment, and she also heard their rebellion to a large extent. They shrank, not knowing how Xu Yan would commit suicide. They didn't know how the situation in the palace is developing now. When the Empress returns, Yun Lang? Are they defeated?

The fear of ignorance enveloped them, causing them to keep shrinking with their heads down. At this moment, Yunqi looked at Xu Yan deeply, and the expression of his eyes was clearly heartache. He could protect her, but in the end she exposed her. Xu Yan shook his head and signaled that he didn't have to worry about her.

Xu Yan understood that Yunqi was afraid that she would be silenced, but she knew it in her heart as if she was a mirror. This matter could not be hidden for a long time. If I knew it later, I would always make it public. Now it is just to hide it for a while. It would be better to come out early and save his life.

The three of them had not heard Xu Yan's hair fall for a long time, and looked up with some fear and faced Xu Yan's warm eyes. She looked at them coldly, as if they were looking at three corpses. They couldn't help but kowtow again and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, you are obsessed with ghosts and say such things as pigs and dogs. Please let us go. We will never dare to have another heart in the future, and we will only be loyal to Your Majesty and your country will be loyal to Xu!"

Xu Yan turned his sight from them, then waved his hand to Yun Qi. Yun Qi immediately slapped three times, and several well-trained people pushed the door and dragged the few people kneeling on the ground away.

They looked at Xu Yan who didn't say a word and thought she was very angry, or was completely disappointed with them, so they were too lazy to talk nonsense to them. They never thought that Xu Yan, who had not spoken to them, was just because she couldn't speak. Facts proved that Xu Yan could scare these timid ministers without speaking.
