Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 215 Slapping the Arrogant Crown Prince in the Face 8

"I have already requested the Emperor to grant me and Yuexing a marriage decree," Dongfang Ye said to the Sixth Prince, holding Leng Yuexing's hand.

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince immediately averted his gaze from Leng Yuexing, cupped his hands, and smiled, "Then congratulations to you both in advance. Don't forget to invite me to your wedding feast."

Leng Yuexing returned the greeting with a cupped hand, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips as she looked at the Sixth Prince, whose eyes showed no sign of surprise.

No wonder Dongfang Ye is on good terms with the Sixth Prince. I never expected the Sixth Prince to be such a bold and forthright person. He is a good candidate to be emperor.

Dongfang Ye returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "Of course I won't forget the Sixth Prince."

The Sixth Prince laughed heartily, "Alright! It's settled then!"

"Sixth Prince, His Majesty is still waiting for you..." A eunuch stepped forward from behind the Sixth Prince and whispered in his ear.

“Understood,” the Sixth Prince replied, then looked at Dongfang Ye and Leng Yuexing, “I need to see my father first, and we can talk in detail later when we have time.”

"Then we won't disturb the Sixth Prince any longer," Leng Yuexing and Dongfang Ye said, bowing.

After the Sixth Prince left, Leng Yuexing and Dongfang Ye continued walking towards the palace gate. On the way, Dongfang Ye told Leng Yuexing about how he met the Sixth Prince.

Several years ago, the Sixth Prince was ambushed by assassins in a mountain on the border. Coincidentally, Dongfang Ye was picking herbs on that mountain when he saw the injured Sixth Prince and rescued him.

Initially, neither of them knew the other's identity. Dongfang Ye was appointed as the Imperial Preceptor after the Sixth Prince left the capital, so they had never met before.

Because of the Sixth Prince's cheerful personality, Dongfang Ye gradually began to interact with him. It wasn't until the Sixth Prince recovered from his injuries that he told Dongfang Ye his true identity, and Dongfang Ye also told the Sixth Prince about his identity as the Imperial Preceptor.

Although both were surprised by each other's identities, they did not harbor any resentment towards each other. After discovering that they shared similar views, they became close friends.

After Dongfang Ye returned to the capital, they continued to communicate from time to time. Several years passed, and they still felt no sense of estrangement from each other.

After hearing this, Leng Yuexing looked up at Dongfang Ye thoughtfully and chuckled, "Then you deserve some credit for the Sixth Prince's return this time, right?"

“Nothing can be hidden from you.” Dongfang Ye turned to look at Leng Yuexing with admiration. “The Sixth Prince has been on the frontier for too long. It’s time for him to come back.”

Leng Yuexing looked up and smiled at Dongfang Ye, the rest of their unspoken words completed in the exchange of their eyes.

The sixth prince had made many efforts for his return, secretly arranging numerous plans. As a prince who had once been favored by the emperor, how could he not have a desire to ascend to the top?

As for Leng Yuexing and Dongfang Ye, rather than letting other princes ascend to the throne, it would be better to help this cheerful and bold sixth prince.

Leng Yuexing's initial idea was to overthrow the Chaoyang Kingdom and rebuild the Yu Kingdom, but after careful consideration, he changed his mind.

If he were to overthrow the Chaoyang Kingdom, he would inevitably have to lead the remnants of the Yu Kingdom in a major war against the Chaoyang Kingdom. In war, it is always the ordinary people who suffer. He did not want the people who had just gained peace to fall into war again.

Therefore, Leng Yuexing decided to kill only the culprit to avenge Yu Kingdom and his family.

After thinking it over, he whispered a few words in Dongfang Ye's ear.

"You mean..." Dongfang Ye hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Leng Yuexing nodded. Since the emperor believed in mysterious things, they would play along and make the emperor believe that the sixth prince was the one with dragon energy.

"Okay, let me think about the specific method again," Dongfang Ye said, lowering his eyes in thought.

“I have an idea,” Leng Yuexing said in a low voice.

Dongfang Ye pretended to listen attentively, while Leng Yuexing whispered, "As long as everything that happens around the Sixth Prince turns out well, that's fine."

"For example?"

"For example, the rain and snow that should have drenched him avoided him at an incredible angle; he should have been injured, but by some twist of fate, he was not harmed at all... and so on, things that seemed like he escaped danger by turning bad luck into good."

After Leng Yuexing listed them, Dongfang Ye understood what Leng Yuexing was referring to. However, it was indeed difficult to do all of this, and he still needed to make some arrangements.

Judging from the weather, it should snow the next day, so Dongfang Ye decided to try Leng Yuexing's method tomorrow.

After sending Leng Yuexing back to Qingfeng Tower, Dongfang Ye began preparing for the next day.

He found a large piece of white gauze in the storeroom, and then ordered two guards to hang the white gauze above the Sixth Prince's head with a rope of the same color in the place where the Sixth Prince passed by the most people, so that the place where he was alone would not be covered in snow.

To make the gauze appear transparent in the sky, Dongfang Ye further processed the gauze so that it would be completely invisible even when floating in the air.

The next day, the weather did indeed turn cold, and at noon, it finally started to snow lightly.

Snowflakes drifted down one by one. The sixth prince came out of the main gate of the palace. After seeing the snow, he took a deep breath and walked into the snow.

Then, to his surprise, he found that the snow was still falling, but no snowflakes were falling on his head.

He looked up at the sky in confusion, but saw nothing. He still didn't understand why no snowflakes were falling around him.

This scene was witnessed by the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, who privately shared what they had seen.

Within two days, the news reached the emperor's ears.

The emperor summoned Dongfang Ye to the palace and asked him for his opinion on the matter.

Dongfang Ye hesitated, but the emperor asked anxiously, "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"

Dongfang Ye cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for my innocence."

The emperor nodded impatiently, "Speak quickly!"

“Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince possesses the aura of a dragon, so he can naturally turn misfortune into good fortune,” Dongfang Ye said calmly.

The emperor looked at Dongfang Ye in disbelief, "You mean Xiu'er possesses the aura of a dragon?"

Dongfang Ye nodded.

It took the emperor a while to react. "I understand. You may leave now."

After Dongfang Ye left, the emperor looked out the window without saying a word.

He had placed high hopes on Xiu'er, and he was originally going to make him the crown prince. Unfortunately, on the eve of his imperial decree, the empress suddenly found witchcraft tools in the residence of his birth mother, Consort An.

He already deeply abhorred witchcraft, and upon discovering it, he was consumed by anger and issued an imperial edict to banish Consort An to the Cold Palace and exile Xiu'er to the border.

Afterwards, he had some doubts, but the imperial decree had been issued and there was no room for reversal. So he let his favorite sixth prince go to the border and his most beloved Consort An enter the Cold Palace.

Recently, Consort An suddenly found the servant who had framed her. After bringing the servant to his side, he naturally lifted the punishment that Consort An had been given and promoted her to Imperial Noble Consort An.

He once placed high hopes on Xiu'er, so should he now return the position of Crown Prince to him?

The emperor sat by the window, frowning and deep in thought.

The sixth prince, who was on the emperor's mind, was also completely confused about what had happened. He didn't understand what had happened, and he couldn't understand why it was snowing elsewhere, but there wasn't a single snowflake on his head.

After learning that the matter had been a complete success, Leng Yuexing smiled happily.

He told Dongfang Ye that this one thing was not enough; they needed more opportunities to turn misfortune into good fortune.

So, the sixth prince discovered that strange things had been happening around him lately, but luckily he got through all the bad things easily.

Even the Emperor learned more and more about the Sixth Prince, and these things eventually reached Gongsun Jing's ears.

Upon hearing the rumors, Gongsun Jing was so angry that he overturned the table in front of him.

A large table of exquisite food was all spilled onto the floor, making the floor dirty and filthy.

"Possessing the aura of a dragon? I, the Crown Prince, am the one who truly possesses the aura of a dragon!" Gongsun Jing turned to the attendant standing beside him. "Don't you agree?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince is naturally a person with the aura of a dragon!" the attendant said, trembling.

Gongsun Jing was furious when he saw the servants trembling with fear. At that moment, he suddenly understood why Leng Yuexing's image had always been in his heart.

It wasn't just Leng Yuexing's stunning and alluring beauty that impressed him, but also his composed and dignified demeanor when facing him.

"I want Leng Yuexing, and I want the throne too. I won't let go of either!" Gongsun Jing clenched his fist and whispered.
