C348 A Sudden Change

Chu King was the only one who could think of such an idea. He wanted the princes to have a secret exchange of pointers during the reward ceremony.

Because the Chu Country had solved such a huge problem, none of them had noticed Chu King's inappropriate cough just now.

"This son wouldn't dare to do such a thing. I only did such an insignificant thing for my father. I don't dare to claim credit for it!"

Hsiang Yunjie was naturally not a fool. Chu King's words were meant for Hsiang Yunyang to hear. It was also meant to draw hatred for Hsiang Yunjie. If he blindly asked for rewards, Hsiang Yunyang would not be able to pass this stage.

Furthermore, Hsiang Yunjie was not worried that he would lose his reward because of what he had just said, even if there were no rewards. With his great contribution this time, even if he was really framed in the future... All the people of Chu Country would stand out and speak.

Chu King covered his mouth and nodded his head in satisfaction after Hsiang Yunjie finished his words. Hsiang Yunjie's answer had satisfied him.

It wasn't a joyous occasion. Although there weren't many rewards, learning how to protect oneself was equivalent to having a talisman of death. Even if it was another prince who succeeded the throne, he didn't have to worry that things would break out immediately.

"Yunjie, I understand your painstaking efforts. Although you don't want to be rewarded, you have made such a great achievement. If you don't give me a little reward, who will come to the Chu Country's royal court in the future?"

Chu King pondered for a moment and said, "From today onwards, Hsiang Yunjie will be conferred the title of Stable King. He will be given a noble salary and a title that will be passed down for five generations."

Chu King ordered Hsiang Yunjie to become a noble and instantly become a prince on the same level as Hsiang Yunkong, who was guarding the Western Front.

Although the rank of a noble was not as high as the Crown Prince, it was out of the Crown Prince's jurisdiction. Only the current Chu King could decide what to do with ___.

With such an identity, Hsiang Yunjie was on par with Hsiang Yunyang in secret. Hsiang Yunjie had the upper hand once again, but he still looked at Hsiang Yunyang as if he didn't have any opinions about this matter.

"Father is wise. Third Brother has made such a contribution to Great Chu. It is only natural for him to be conferred the title of King in the Imperial Court!"

What Hsiang Yunjie didn't expect was that Hsiang Yunyang actually spoke before all the officials. Not only did he not stop him, but he also agreed with Chu King's decision, showing that he was a brother.

"Congratulations, Stable King!"

After that, all the officials cupped their fists and congratulated him. Now, Hsiang Yunjie was a hundred times higher than the officials, and his status was completely different from before.

Looking at the happy atmosphere in the Imperial Court, Chu King smiled with relief and said, "Tonight, Stable King will treat us to a meal. Everyone, go to his place and have a drink. After all, if you move to the Imperial Residence, you can't go in and out as you wish!"

After saying that, Chu King stood up and was about to leave while the officials were laughing. However, Chu King's body was completely different from before.

Just look at the usually dignified Chu King. At this moment, he looked like an old man who was tottering, and every step he took was very difficult.

Before he could take two steps, Chu King's face turned pale and fell to the ground. The old official beside him was frightened and quickly stepped forward to support him.

"The king is ill, protect him!" The old eunuch shouted and the bronze door was broken in an instant. A few of them wore the Dragon God's mask and golden armor. The guards with white feathers on them immediately appeared and sent Hsiang Yunyang and Hsiang Yunjie, who were about to approach, flying away!

This was the first time Hsiang Yunjie saw the Golden Dragon Guard appear to protect Chu King. Usually, everyone only heard about the existence of the Golden Dragon Guard, but no one could clearly explain the details of the Golden Dragon Guard.

Two of them stretched out their hands and pushed Hsiang Yunjie and Hsiang Yunyang away. They could see the terrifying strength of the ___, which made Hsiang Yunjie feel a sense of awe in his heart.

Even if the Golden Snake Guard went on stage, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would do anything to the Golden Dragon Guard.

"How dare you! How dare you stop me from visiting my father? Don't tell me you want to disobey me?"

Hsiang Yunyang stabilized his body after being sent flying away. He looked at the few people guarding Chu King and scolded them loudly.

However, these few Golden Dragon Guards ignored Hsiang Yunyang. In their eyes, the status of Crown Prince wasn't that high.

If they were really provoked, even if it was the Crown Prince, the Golden Dragon Guard could still kill him!

"Quickly send the King away. Find the Imperial Physicians and bring all the Imperial Physicians here!"

At this time, the old internal official shouted loudly. The surrounding servants did not dare to be neglectful and hurriedly moved to prepare all kinds of things.

This was the first time the old internal official showed nervousness in front of others. After all, Chu King, who had served for many years, fainted for no reason. In the heart of the old internal official, it was a very serious matter.1

"Lords, I think it's better not to tell anyone about today's matter. Otherwise, even if this old servant is humble, if I don't abide by the rules, I still have many ways to make all of you regret this matter in the future."

After the Golden Dragon Guard had sent Chu King away, the old official did not leave with him. Instead, he looked at the officials with a cold expression, including Hsiang Yunyang and Hsiang Yunjie.

The Golden Dragon Guard was loyal to the generations of Chu King, but the old internal official was only loyal to this Chu King. He did not want others outside the palace to know about this matter that involved the national capital. If that was the case... He didn't need to give anyone face, including the Crown Prince.

Just like that, a murderous aura appeared in the originally lively hall. The big guy didn't even dare to breathe loudly. He could only watch the old internal official leave, and then he left bitterly.

Hsiang Yunjie's mind was in a mess. Although he had already established Hsiang Yunjie's status as a Royal Noble before Chu King fainted, he was more concerned about what was going on with his father.

"Number three, go to the Heaven Burial Pavilion and invite Pavilion Master Ye here. Even if Pavilion Master Ye is in seclusion, he must force Pavilion Master Ye to come out of seclusion. If anyone dares to stop him, kill him first and report later!"

Back at the mansion. Hsiang Yunjie ordered Golden Snake Guard Number three coldly. He felt that only Ye Tian could resolve this matter, and only Ye Tian knew how Chu King was doing!

Imperial City, Crown Prince's Palace.

At this moment, Hsiang Yunyang had returned to his residence. Unlike in the Imperial Court, his face was gloomy, but it wasn't because of Chu King.

"Didn't the Grand Tutor of Nanyue say that he was almost guaranteed to succeed? There are also people from the Myriad Longevity Mountain participating in this event, but this kid, Hsiang Yunjie, actually came back in full force. This is a f * cking trash!"

Hsiang Yunyang was very angry. He sat in front of the tea sea and flipped the tea sea over with a single word of anger. The blue and white porcelain on the tea sea were all turned into pieces.

The true murderer of the Nanyue Army was the Grand Tutor of Nanyue who was instigated by Hsiang Yunyang to let Nanyue King invade the army. However, he did not expect that Ye Tian would appear midway and destroy all of these things.

Every step of Hsiang Yunyang's plan failed because of a slight mistake. Now, he was very angry. He even wanted to kill Hsiang Yunjie on the spot.

After thinking for a while, Hsiang Yunyang's face returned to its original calm. He called his guards over and wrote a letter and handed it to them.

"Now, hurry up and deliver the letter to my mother before sunset. Also, before my mother speaks, stay by his side and don't return!"

"Yes!"

The guard agreed to Hsiang Yunyang's order and went to the backyard to pick up a fast horse. He left the city as fast as lightning.

"Humph, humph, this world will soon be under my control. When the time comes, I want to see how you can be as free as you are now..."

After that, Hsiang Yunyang was the only one left in the room. The Crown Prince revealed a sinister smile and sat on the chair, looking at the scene in front of him.
