Ye Junfei replied: "Father, this is a strange question. I asked Zhou Chenyang to send back the iron pieces. They should be in Gale Wind City!"
King Pingnan said angrily: "I have never received any iron!"
Because as soon as he found out about the iron block, Zhou Chenyang sent people to King Pingnan's stronghold in Yucheng, and the spies couldn't spread the news even if they had it.
When King Pingnan received the news, it was already many days later.
Ye Junfei was also broken: "I asked Zhou Chenyang to send the iron piece back to Gale City, and I also gave the news to my father."
"I've done everything I should do, and the rest has nothing to do with me."
King Pingnan: "..."
He stared at Ye Junfei with wide eyes: "That's an iron block from a mine!"
"If those iron blocks fall into the hands of the imperial court and are turned into weapons, they can massacre the entire Liefeng State!"
"Why didn't you send someone back to deliver the news to me?"
Ye Junfei looked puzzled: "Pass the news, I did it! Father, you want to say why I didn't send someone to keep an eye on Zhou Chenyang, right?"
"Father, you know that I don't have any soldiers or horses in my hands. When I left the palace, you only asked me to take two guards."
"I finally managed to frighten Zhou Chenyang at that time. The situation was very critical. Of course, the two of them had to give priority to protecting my safety."
When he left Prince Pingnan's palace to inspect Lifeng Prefecture, Prince Pingnan didn't agree with him, but his reason was just right and Prince Pingnan couldn't stop him.
At that time, King Pingnan only allowed him to leave with two guards, and told him clearly that even if he was in danger when he went out, he was not allowed to ask for help from Prince Pingnan's palace.
King Pingnan thought he could scare Ye Junfei, but he left Prince Pingnan's palace that day with Wu Dao and Wu Ge.
King Pingnan: "..."
He was so angry that his chest heaved, but there was nothing he could do about Ye Junfei.
Ye Junfei said lazily: "From what my father said, it seems that he didn't get those iron pieces."
"You can't blame me for this. I've done everything I can do."
"After all, I am a humble person. Although I am the crown prince, I don't even have a bodyguard. It is very difficult to come back alive."
King Pingnan heard what he said, and the muscles on his face trembled. His whole body was angry and aggrieved.
He cursed Ye Junfei in his heart for being a traitor!
When Ye Junfei first returned to Pingnan Palace, Ye Jingxian sent someone to test Ye Junfei.
Among the dozens of highly skilled guards, no one came back alive.
The next day, all the bodies of the guards were placed in Ye Jingxian's yard.
Such Ye Junfei, he actually had the nerve to say that there was no one available around him!
It's just that he has never found anyone else beside Ye Junfei.
If he continues to scold him now, Ye Junfei will definitely take the opportunity to ask him for bodyguards.
Princess Pingnan was afraid that he would be angry to death, so she said calmly: "My lord, don't worry, since these iron blocks are in Liefeng State, they will definitely not be lost."
King Pingnan was full of anger and had no place to express it, and said angrily: "Get out!"
Princess Pingnan felt a little aggrieved and did not dare to speak any more.
Lin Xiuyan felt that Ye Junfei was really a master of irritating people, and he could make King Pingnan so angry without saying a word!
She asked curiously: "The prince has a distinguished status, why are there no guards around him?"
Ye Junfei said quietly: "You have to ask your father about this. Maybe my father thinks that I am very powerful and don't need a guard!"
King Pingnan gritted his teeth and said: "From today on, you will be in charge of the Thirteenth Battalion."
There are a total of thirteen guards in Pingnan Palace, ranging in strength from the first platoon to the thirteenth, and the thirteenth battalion is the weakest.
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes were full of ridicule: "My father treated me so well, I was so moved that I burst into tears."
Lin Xiuyan looked at King Pingnan and then at Ye Junfei, and for the first time she truly understood the bad relationship between father and son.
King Pingnan was so angry that he wanted to beat someone. At this time, the nun at the door came in and reported: "The princess is here with the young master and the ladies."
King Pingnan then remembered that today was the second day of Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan's wedding.
Even if he doesn't want to see Lin Xiuyan anymore, she still has to meet the young ladies in the mansion under the title of Crown Princess and according to the etiquette.
He said with a dark face: "Let them come in."
Lin Xiuyan took advantage of King Pingnan's turn to give Ye Junfei a thumbs up:
No matter how bad the Thirteenth Battalion is, there are still 200 people, which is also a signal to the outside world.
Ye Junfei didn't care too much about whether King Pingnan would give someone to him, but if he could make King Pingnan angry and make Lin Xiuyan happy, he would be happy too.
Soon, the young ladies in the palace, led by Ye Qingwan, came over to pay homage to Lin Xiuyan.
Maybe it was because several of the legitimate sons and daughters were not here, and those who came today were all concubines. In addition, because of Lin Xiuyan's record of smoking Princess Anle yesterday, they were quite polite to her.
Lin Xiuyan has always been polite to others when others are polite to her.
The Lin family didn't have many other things but a lot of money. When she got married, Lin Yunzhi prepared a lot of red envelopes for her to cope with today's scene.
Lin Xiuyan gave each person a red envelope, and inside each red envelope was a one hundred tael silver note.
Ye Qingwan smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
As soon as she opened her mouth, all the concubines and concubines thanked Lin Xiuyan in unison, and they seemed to be relatively easy to get along with.
After some pleasantries and meeting each other, Ye Junfei took Lin Xiuyan away.
As soon as they left, King Pingnan sent Ye Qingwan and others away as well.
After everyone left, he slammed the tea cup.
Princess Pingnan stood beside her and said, "Your Majesty, we owe you something, don't argue with him."
"What does it mean to be in debt to him?" King Pingnan said with a dark face: "He has occupied the position of the Crown Prince, so he has to fulfill the responsibilities of the Crown Prince!"
"This bastard, he obviously did the iron thing on purpose!"
"With his appearance, how can I trust him to hand over the palace to him!"
He wanted to depose Ye Junfei more than once, but Ye Junfei's position as heir apparent was recognized by the emperor and could not be changed easily.
Princess Pingnan reminded him: "The emperor recognizes his identity only because he was the heir apparent in the capital and thinks he is mediocre."
"This time the emperor granted him a marriage because he originally wanted Princess Anle to take control of Pingnan Palace."
"Now that he has rejected the emperor's marriage proposal, burned the imperial edict, and hurt the emperor's face, the emperor may not protect him."
King Pingnan's eyes lit up at first, but then darkened quickly: "The emperor is determined to withdraw."
"Pingnan Palace is the first to bear the brunt. Under such circumstances, the emperor is probably very happy to let a loser succeed to the throne of Pingnan."
"Because only trash will be at his mercy and collapse!"
Princess Pingnan said warmly: "Your Majesty is in his prime. As long as your Majesty is well, Prince Pingnan's Palace will be well, and Liefeng Prefecture will also be well."
