Chapter 77 Chapter 77: Meng Chen, your death star is shining!
In a blink of an eye, it was five days later.

Fengjing seemed calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging behind the scenes. In particular, the news that the Duke of Qi's Mansion and the Marquis of Xuanwu's Mansion were going to change their titles shocked all the nobles and made them panic.

Because the Duke of Qi and the Marquis of Xuanwu each held a part of the military power of Jin, the generals and nobles all followed their lead. Now that they were going to hand over power and switch positions, how could the nobles not think too much.

During this period of time, the thresholds of the Duke of Qi's Mansion and the Marquis of Xuanwu's Mansion were almost broken down by the nobles of Fengjing, who all wanted to know the reason behind this.

Could it be that the emperor had something on them that forced the two dukes to hand over their power?
The answer given by the Duke of Qi was very simple. He used his title and military power to exchange for his daughter who was banished to the cold palace. The Marquis of Xuanwu said that his son who had been missing for more than ten years had returned, and he wanted to enjoy life with his son.

But what kind of blessing could make a powerful marquis give up his title and power?
The nobles in Fengjing were very confused and suspected that the emperor had something on them and forced them to this point.

However, not only the nobles of Fengjing could not understand, even the Emperor of Jin could not figure out why the two dukes wanted to leave Fengjing when he had not even taken any action yet.

Moreover, it had been agreed before that if the military power was handed over to him, he would let the daughter of the Duke of Qi return home. But to this day, there was no sign of handing over the military power.

Did he find out that his daughter was dead? !

The Emperor of Jin was anxious. If this was true, he was sure that the Duke of Qi wanted to kill him.

"Somebody come!"

Fu Tingyuan shouted, and a eunuch quickly entered the imperial study and knelt in front of him waiting for orders.

"Call Prime Minister to the palace. I have something important to discuss with him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch responded, stood up and left the imperial study.

On the other side, Xuanwu Marquis Mansion.

In the prince's villa, Meng Chen listened to the report from the maid in green. He was surprised at first, and then fell into deep thought.

He didn't understand why Xuanwu Hou would give up the power and leave Fengjing with the real guy? What on earth was that old guy thinking?
Since he doesn't want the title anymore, why can't it be passed on to him? He is obviously the crown prince chosen by the royal family, and the title of Marquis Xuanwu should be passed on to him!
"What's going on with Shadow Building? Why is there still no news?"

Meng Chen questioned the maid in red, it had been five days and there was no news at all from the Shadow Tower, and no one died in the Marquis' Mansion.

The maid in red was also confused. According to the efficiency of Shadow Building, it shouldn't be so slow.

However, what Meng Chen and the maid in red did not know was that the Shadow Tower was actually the property of the Duke of Qi's Mansion.

Although the maid in red was once a killer of the Shadow Tower, she was not able to access such secrets because of her low level.

In the hall of the Marquis' Mansion, Meng Yinglong and Jiang Yunxiao sat together. He already knew that someone was secretly issuing a bounty for the Marquis of Xuanwu Mansion.

"Yinglong, we have found out who issued those bounties. It was your adopted son who did it."

Jiang Yunxiao took a sip of tea and said coldly. Meng Yinglong heard this and snorted coldly, saying:
"Humph! He is indeed an ungrateful bastard. When I first saw him disguised as Chen'er, I felt that he had ulterior motives. If it wasn't for the purpose of appeasing Yun Wei, how could I have brought him back to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Meng Yinglong has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years and has seen all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. How could he be deceived by Meng Chen's disguise Gu?

The reason why he brought Meng Chen back to Xuanwu Hou Mansion was just to use Meng Chen as a tool to appease Jiang Yunyao.

Even if Meng Chen sits on the throne of the crown prince, so what?

How can a guy who doesn't have any blood of the Meng family be worthy of inheriting the title of Marquis Xuanwu? Even if the title of marquis is given to a side branch, it will not be given to him.

Jiang Yunxiao asked: "How are you going to deal with that ungrateful bastard?"

"I have to ask Yun Yao about this. After all, that guy has called Yun Yao mother for so many years. If it weren't for his company, Yun Yao might not have been able to hold on until Chen'er comes back." Although Meng Yinglong had already decided to kill Meng Chen, considering that the ungrateful guy had been with Jiang Yun Yao for many years, Jiang Yun Yao had some feelings for him in her heart, so he couldn't kill him at will.

Swish! !

Three figures suddenly appeared in the hall, startling Meng Yinglong and Jiang Yunxiao so much that they quickly stood up and looked at the newcomers vigilantly.

When they saw the true appearance of the person coming, they felt relieved.

"Dad, uncle." Meng Chen greeted his father and uncle.

Jiang Yunxiao saw Jiang Yanran on his left, who was wearing white armor. His burly body trembled, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he strode forward and walked in front of his daughter.

Jiang Yanran's pretty face was smiling, but her beautiful eyes revealed a bit of guilt. She threw herself into Jiang Yunxiao's arms, hugged her old father, and apologized in a low voice: "Dad, I am an unfilial daughter and made you worry!"

"It's okay. Dad doesn't blame you. It's my fault for not protecting you. Otherwise, you would have suffered so much."

Jiang Yunxiao hugged his daughter who had come back from the dead, with tears in his eyes, and told her not to blame herself. He never blamed her, but only hated himself for not caring enough and causing her to suffer so much in the palace.

If Meng Chen hadn't come back, they, father and daughter, would probably have been separated forever.

Jiang Yanran let go of her father and said in a firm voice, "Dad, now that my daughter has been resurrected, I will settle accounts with that heartless beast Fu Tingyuan. Please wait here, and I will bring that beast's head to you."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you here."

Jiang Yunxiao did not stop his daughter from seeking revenge. Although he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, killing an ungrateful and incompetent emperor like Fu Tingyuan ten times would not be enough.

Jiang Yanran nodded, and six white wings spread out behind her, turning into a stream of white light and flying towards the palace.

She wanted to chop off Fu Tingyuan's head with her own hands to vent her hatred for hanging herself.

"Father, you seem to be troubled by something?"

Meng Chen sat next to Meng Yinglong, noticed that he looked strange, and couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yinglong sighed and told him that Meng Chen had issued a bounty for assassination in the Shadow Building.

"I am wondering how I should start telling your mother about this."

"Why tell mother? I can handle it."

Meng Chen told Meng Yinglong not to tell Jiang Yunyao, and that he could just get rid of Meng Chen when they left.

Originally, he was thinking of letting Meng Chen go because he had accompanied his mother for many years. However, he did not expect that he would seek death on his own initiative, so he had no choice but to send him to death.

A mere fake substitute is not worth mentioning in the eyes of aristocratic families who value bloodline.

Do you really think this is a female channel? The fake young master can make a random false accusation and make the real young master speechless and have all kinds of misunderstandings among his parents and siblings?
If you mess with Meng Chen, you'll be like kicking a titanium plate.

He didn't kill the substitute right away, but Meng Chen didn't want that guy's death to disturb his mother.

At this moment in the Prince's Villa, Meng Chen, who was thinking of other ways to get rid of Meng Chen, did not notice at all that there was a death star shining above his head.
