The Indomitable Master of Elixirs Chapter 1170 – A Plan (Chapter 1)

Chapter 1170: A Plan (1)

To overthrow a crown prince, who was secure in his status, and of high repute, was no easy task for anyone. The moment he acted, he must capture the crown prince in one move. Even the smallest slip would give Long Xi’s supporters an opportunity to retaliate.

His only chance was to capture Long Xi within the shortest time and ensure he was charged as guilty. Then only could he cut the Gordian knot and get rid of Long Xi.

Based on what Long Xi had said, for a period, the Sa Er Emperor’s attitude towards Long Xi had clearly shown his displeasure. Xing Hun naturally forced this displeasure. On the flip side, this proved that Xing Hun was prepared to hasten his plan and make his move.

Based on what Ji Fengyan knew, that year, unfavorable rumors about Long Xi had spread beyond the Kingdom of Sa Er. Fortunately, Long Xi had built up a strong reputation, and these rumors had not destroyed his reputation among the people. However, the change in the Sa Er Emperor’s attitude towards Long Xi had directly affected the feelings of the other ministers within the kingdom.

If Long Xi was still the Sa Er Emperor’s trusted and favored crown prince, even if Xing Hun tried to frame Long Xi, the other ministers would come forward to protect him. But if the ministers had detected the Sa Er Emperor’s displeasure towards Long Xi, then the situation would be completely different.

“When is he thinking of acting? What will he do? Surely he wouldn’t fabricate something to convict me of a crime, when I’ve done nothing?” Xing Hun’s actions increasingly puzzled long Xi.

Ji Fengyan shrugged slightly. “Do you think he still needs a seamless plan now?”

Ji Fengyan’s words shocked Long Xi. He wanted to say something, but Ji Fengyan suddenly raised her hand and prevented him from opening his mouth.

A moment later, a noise rang out from outside the room.

“Is His Royal Highness the crown prince there?” The Sacred Dragon Emperor’s voice could be heard from outside the room. His voice was toadying and cautious.

Long Xi frowned slightly. He had almost forgotten that there were two such people in his house. He glanced at Ji Fengyan, and only when he saw her slight nod, did he open his mouth to say, “Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”

The Sacred Dragon Emperor’s voice rang out again from outside the room.

“It’s nothing special, just that… before I came to the Kingdom of Sa Er, I heard that today is the Grand Tutor, Xing Hun’s birthday. So I wanted to present a token of my good wishes. I wonder if the crown prince can do me a favor?”

Although the Sacred Dragon Emperor spoke politely, he had grown impatient for news. This time, he wanted to take the opportunity of Xing Hun’s birthday to speak to Xing Hun.

Long Xi was already upset, and became even more irritated by the Sacred Dragon Emperor’s words, which were filled with an ulterior motive. He was just about to speak when Ji Fengyan simply used her hand to cover his mouth. She replied instead. “It’s great that His Majesty, the Sacred Dragon Emperor has such good intentions. However, if His Majesty the Sacred Dragon Emperor really wishes to send birthday greetings to Lord Xing Hun, it would naturally be more sincere to do so in person. Also, wouldn’t it be more convenient to personally tell the Grand Tutor about your petition?”

Long Xi’s mouth was covered by Ji Fengyan, and he was unable to say a word. However, Ji Fengyan’s words caused his eyes to widen in shock.

Was this girl crazy?

She actually wanted the Sacred Dragon Emperor and the Sacred Dragon Prince to attend Xing Hun’s birthday banquet?

But the Sacred Dragon Emperor, who was outside the room, was overjoyed. “Miss, you are right. If we can do that, that would naturally be for the best.” He tried hard to maintain his composure, but could not disguise the exultation that burst forth in his speech.
