Feng Mingye's ears hurt from listening to the courtiers quarreling in court. He finally got down from court and returned to the imperial study for some quiet time. However, his eyelids were twitching wildly and his heart was even more restless. He always felt that something had happened.

Eunuch Fu handed over the warm tea. Feng Mingye went to take it absentmindedly, but dropped it to the ground with a snap, and the teacup broke into pieces.

Eunuch Fu quickly knelt down and apologized, "It's all my fault for being careless. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Feng Mingye looked at the broken teacup and felt much calmer, as if the knife hanging from his heart suddenly fell.

"It's your fault. I didn't pick it up properly. Get up and clean this place up."

Eunuch Fu was surprised by Feng Mingye's rare ability to talk. He immediately thanked her and picked up the broken porcelain pieces.

Eunuch Fu had just taken the fragments and left them to be handled by the eunuch at the door. He turned around and met Feng Yunsu head-on. He asked doubtfully, "Your Highness King Qi, why did you enter the palace at this time?"

Feng Yunsu said directly, "I want to see my father."

Before Eunuch Fu could speak, Feng Mingye's voice came from the room, "What else do you want from me?"

Eunuch Fu immediately said with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Qi, the emperor has asked you to come in."

Feng Yun sighed solemnly and walked into the imperial study room.

Eunuch Fu was too interested to follow.

In the study, Feng Mingye played with the jade in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Feng Yunsu, who was walking towards him.

"I have been restless just now. I always felt that something was going to happen. When I saw you, my heart suddenly became determined. It turns out that you are the one who is destined for today."

Feng Mingye smiled and asked Feng Yunsu to kneel down immediately, "Father, I forgive you, I didn't mean to cause trouble for you."

"I don't blame you."

Feng Mingye waved his hand and signaled Feng Yunsu to stand up, "If you have any business with me, just tell me directly."

Feng Yunsu said in a low voice, "My father asked his son to speak, but he will speak frankly."

Feng Mingye laughed when he heard this, "What? If I don't let you say it, you won't say it? Then why did you come to the palace to find me?"

"My son is here to return the imperial edict." Feng Yunsu said directly, not intending to beat around the bush.

Feng Mingye asked in confusion, "What imperial edict?"

Feng Yun said in a solemn voice, "Father, please take back your order. I cannot investigate the murder case in Kyoto City."

Feng Mingye frowned when he heard this, "What did you say? Is the imperial edict to be returned as long as you want? Do you think the imperial edict is child's play, or are my words child's play?"

"My son and I dare not disobey my father's words, let alone resist his orders. However, this job is really difficult to do. I ask my father to take back my order."

After saying that, Feng Yunsu knelt down again and kowtowed respectfully.

Feng Mingye looked at his series of operations and tasted them.

He looked at Feng Yunsu and said casually, "Tell me, what trouble did you encounter again?"

Feng Mingye himself also knew that this was a strange question. If Feng Yunsu could encounter any difficulty, it would be good if he would not make it difficult for others.

The way he looked was probably because he was embarrassing others and came here to ask for advice.

Feng Yunsu looked aggrieved, "I finally found clues in my investigation of the case, but I was blocked by someone. I deliberately went against my son and didn't say anything, let alone take the imperial edict into consideration."

When Feng Mingye heard this, his face instantly darkened.

"Who are you talking about? Who dares to be so bold?" Feng Yunsu squatted for a while without saying anything, and then Eunuch Fu trotted in. Feng Mingye asked with a calm face, "I am talking to King Qi, why did you come in? Already?"

Eunuch Fu said quickly, "Reporting to the Emperor, Mr. Zhao and the Sixth Prince are outside asking for an audience, saying they are here to plead guilty."

These two people came suddenly, and they came together.

Feng Mingye narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Feng Yunsu and asked, "Are they the ones who disrespect the imperial edict?"

Feng Yun said solemnly, "Since Mr. Zhao and Sixth Brother are already here, then my father will ask them to come in and we will know after asking."

Feng Mingye snorted heavily, "You guys are really looking for trouble for me!"

Although his tone was very angry, he did not convict him and asked Eunuch Fu to bring Zhao Ying and Feng Zhiqi in.

Soon, Zhao Ying and Feng Zhiqi came to the imperial study. Feng Zhiqi saw Feng Yunsu kneeling and gloated, and then with a guilty expression on his face, he also knelt down in front of Feng Mingye.

"Father, I made a mistake, please punish me!"

Feng Zhiqi apologized as soon as he came up, which made Feng Mingye's anger lower a bit, but his face was still gloomy, "Where did you go wrong? Tell me carefully!"

Feng Zhiqi glanced at Zhao Ying who was standing aside, and said in a desperate manner, "My son was disrespectful and said something I shouldn't have said to the fourth brother. The fourth brother was ordered to handle the case, but I did bad things with good intentions and ruined the fourth brother's affairs. Please punish me, Father."

"Doing bad things with good intentions?"

Feng Mingye stared at Feng Zhiqi and asked sentence by sentence, "What good intentions did you have? What bad things did you do? Tell me carefully!"

Feng Zhiqi didn't expect to be questioned like this by Feng Mingye, so he could only tell the truth about what happened in front of Zhao's house.

However, a lot was omitted in the middle, but the words "Just because I am Feng Yunsu" that Feng Yunsu said were highlighted.

Zhao Ying also said, "Your Majesty, I am also at fault. I should not have blocked His Highness King Qi from investigating the case. His Highness King Qi dared to search the palace and there must be evidence. I should not ask more questions."

A word from you and a word from me directly turned the situation into one where Feng Yunsu was making trouble unreasonably and was suspected of avenging public and private revenge.

Feng Yunsu didn't defend himself and just knelt down straight.

Feng Mingye knew Feng Yunsu too well. He was not showing weakness, nor was he speechless. He was determined to return the imperial edict.

"If you don't stay well in the palace, why are you going to the Zhao family?"

Feng Mingye suddenly asked, and Feng Zhiqi was confused by the question. He never expected that Feng Mingye would ask him this question. He panicked for a moment and stammered, "My son... I have something to do with Mr. Zhao." Negotiate.”

He didn't dare to say that he went to the Zhao family after getting the letter in an attempt to rescue the Zhao family.

Feng Mingye reprimanded mercilessly, "I asked you to reflect before, have you reflected and sobered up?"

"My son..."

"As a prince, you don't do your business. You spend all your time playing tricks and idleness. You can't cultivate your moral character in the palace. You can't help me solve my problems. You dare to speak arrogantly and don't let go of my imperial edict. In my eyes, it’s simply audacious.”

Feng Mingye became more and more angry as he talked, and finally kicked Feng Zhiqi hard several times.

Feng Zhiqi didn't dare to hide and was kicked until he cried like a ghost. This made Feng Mingye even more angry and kicked even harder.

"You are my son. You have been pampered since you were a child and taught by famous teachers. What did you end up with? You are useless and you still cause trouble everywhere. You don't let me worry. What are you doing with your life? Are you causing trouble for me?"

Feng Zhiqi was kicked all over the study and ran around, shouting, "Father, please forgive me, father, I will never dare to do it again..."

Feng Mingye turned a deaf ear and didn't let him go until he was tired of kicking.
