Feng Ru Ai's
Chapter 9

The day began to rise, but a luxurious house in the interior of the forest still looks dark and gloomy because of the lack of sunlight that is not able to penetrate the dense foliage of trees that grow towering around it.

Although the luxurious house looks gloomy and quiet seen from the outside, in fact in the building many soldiers who train with bare chest. They all trained their abilities under the supervision of a 23-year-old man who now continues to give instructions with sharp eyes that emit a cold aura that grits the heart until it freezes.

The handsome young man in an oversized dress made of silk of the highest quality continued to observe every movement of his soldiers, occasionally he would reprimand and scold the soldiers who made movements that were not in accordance with his instructions.

The soldiers were unable to twitch, their bodies only able to stiffen as an intimidating cold aura was again unleashed by the legitimate overseer of MingQi kingdom. No one dared to move let alone make a sound. They were sculpted in a place like a stone carving carved like a human and planted so deep that they could not move as much as they stood.

The cold face of crown prince Rui since morning had already been able to make them feel a bad premonition. Their visitation is clearly not in good shape - it is fine. I don't know who else is harassing their lord who has been hiding his real face behind weak and sickly masks, they only hope that the person gives up and chooses to live in peace without taking steps that harm his future.

Unfortunately they don't know, their opponent is only one. Who else if not the brother of crown prince Rui himself. Prince Rong who always had ambitions to take and seize what the crown prince Rui should have. All this time they saw prince Rong always giving support and encouragement to the crown prince Rui to take the throne of MingQi kingdom and the full reign, who would have thought, who would, prince Rong and Empress Lien are actually masterminds in a murder plot that barely kept them from surviving three months ago.

Previously crown prince Rui did not believe Yong's words, Yong initially warned him that 'the betrayal is always there from the closest people', he said', his best friend reminded him to remain vigilant on his first brother even in front of him he showed his support. Unfortunately crown prince Rui was too lulled and believed so easily with prince Rong, in the end the betrayal happened and brought him to a low point that made him turn into a terrible figure.

"Watch all Ben gong now, because Ben gong will take back all that belongs to Ben gong and Ben gong make sure you don't get away with Ben gong" the sizzle of crown prince Rui exuded an extremely terrifying aura behind his pale white face.

Tong looked at prince Yan with a puffed-up look, his master was even too busy with his own world to care less about the chaos that was happening within the inner palace which was increasingly suffocating.

The news of the decline in the health condition of the Wei emperor because of the existence of crown prince Rui who until now has not gotten a bright spot makes the ruler of the MingQi kingdom continues to be overwhelmed by prolonged worries so that his health condition decreases drastically.

It clearly makes politics and government in the palace more shaky and chaotic. All the bad assumptions about the condition of the Wei emperor began to haunt the ministers and officials. They seemed to have seen the death of the Wei emperor was in sight so they began flocking to the manor of prince Rong while forming a support camp.

Tong is inexhaustible, only the health of the Wei emperor is declining but it will be very horrendous and electrifying politics and government this afternoon in the palace.

Ministers and officials seemed to be racing - the race showed their support to the only prospective heir to the throne who was so ambitious to gain power and the highest position in the MingQi kingdom.

Tong did not know why all government officials voted in favor of Prince Rong. Though his lord also has a strong enough potential to fight and fight in the fight for the throne, but why did none of them try to persuade and melt the heart of the prince of Yan to take part in the competition for the throne.

"How can I not sigh? Servant still very hard to believe that you have absolutely no interest in fighting for the throne like your brothers. Even though you also have good potential and ability, why are ministers and officials not considering you at all?" Tong Tanya felt unacceptable to the attitude of the government officials.

Prince Yan who was the same age as Tong then chuckled "Ben Wang is not included in their assessment because they know, that is, the, it will end in vain to support Ben Wang who is not even interested in the competition for the throne" replied Prince Yan indifferently

"That would just be a waste of energy for them, hence they prefer the superiority of the first brother. Prince Rong had all the potential and ability to become an emperor, he had it all. Ambition, support, ability and knowledge. Contrary to me who prefers to enjoy life with fun" added Prince Yan as calm as water.

Tong clucked irritatedly at his master's reply. If only he had been born into the royal family and been as lucky as the prince of Yan, he would not have wasted the golden opportunity. As long as there is a chance, he will try his best to find support. No matter if he had to kiss the feet of government officials or even lick them with flattery words that made the stomach nauseous. As long as the effort is worth the sacrifice, then it won't be a problem.

Prince Yan lowered his book and looked at Tong with a sharp gaze, he then chuckled while being able to read the faces and thoughts of subordinates who were very close to him.

"If you think you want to change positions with Ben Wang, Ben Wang recommends getting rid of the thought, because second brother is not an easy person!" Said prince Yan commemorating Tong.

Tong who heard that jolted from his daydream, he looked at his lord with a look of disbelief.

'How does prince Yan know what he's thinking?'
