Su Chun frowned and her expression became gloomy: “Since Chu Yan is still alive, your imperial father’s illness healed by itself. And recently, he has started to pave way for him in the imperial court. You know all this. How could you make such a big mistake?”

Chu Feng said: “Muhou, we have been making our move for so many years. Now we have a lot of people in our hands. Why are you afraid of him?”

Su Chun glared at him: “Silly, are these people in your hands can be used by you? Don’t you know the answer yourself? Chu Yan is gone, and your imperial father acquiesced, that’s why you can use them. But now, Chu Yan is back, your father’s eyes fell on someone else. Can those people, who follow the wind and steer the wheel, listen to you?”

Chu Feng’s face was filled with worry: “Muhou, is there no other way?”

Su Chun thought for a while, then suddenly said, “It’s not that there is no other way.”

“Muhou, please say!” Chu Feng immediately pricked up his ears.

Su Chun said: “Changyuan Houfu recently brought back a daughter. Do you know this?”

Chu Feng nodded: “I heard that it was the baby 13 years ago. At that time, they said the baby died. Why is she alive now?”

Su Chun lightly snorted: “This crazy thing is not the main point, the main point is she’s back. This little girl is Dongfang Mu’s granddaughter and Chu Yan’s fiancee. What kind of person is Dongfang Mu, don’t you know?”

Chu Feng puzzled: “Please tell me directly.”

“Dongfang Mu’s influence in the imperial court is not simple, which can shake it by 3 points. Your imperial father also trusts him very much and even rely on him. When your imperial father sent Chu Yan to him, he asked him to train him as the Crown Prince. Therefore, Dongfang Mu and the emperor secretly made a marriage contract between Chu Yan and the baby.”

“As long as you get Dongfang Mu’s support, Chu Yan will simply be a fart.”

Chu Feng suddenly said, “So what muhou meant to say is for me to approach this granddaughter? If I get that girl, I’ll get the throne?”

Su Chun nodded: “Yes, Dongfang Mu has only one daughter, and he loves this daughter the most. Now that his granddaughter is back, can’t he have a love for her? Naturally, the emperor and the Pei Family will not change their mind in this marriage, but what if the little girl didn’t like this marriage contract?”

Chu Feng thoroughly understood and gave Su Chun a thumbs up: “Muhou, you are wise. This son will do it.”

Su Chun said: “This matter can’t be done in a hurry. I’ll find a way to make this little girl enter the palace. Then you will visit me.”

Chu Feng smiled and said: “It’s still muhou who is thoughtful.”

“Master, we’re only 2 miles away from the capital.” The guard reported to Dongfang Mu, who was in the carriage.

Dongfang Mu stopped the carriage, got out, and asked for a horse to ride on: “After sitting in the carriage for several days, it’s time to move around.” If Bai Zhi didn’t insist, he wouldn’t get in the carriage. He doesn’t like shrinking himself in a small carriage. How can it be more comfortable than riding a horse?

When Dongfang Mu rode up, he asked Dongfang Wan: “Wan’er, the capital is just right in front of us, how are you feeling?”

Dongfang Wan raised the curtain and smiled at Dongfang Mu: “Father, I’m fine. Why did you come out of the carriage again?”

Dongfang Mu chuckled and said, “I’m tired of riding in the carriage, so I came out. Besides, it’s not raining anymore. Zhi’er won’t say anything.”

She doesn’t know when it starts, but her father began to call Bai Zhi ‘Zhi’er’ so smoothly, just like when he was calling her ‘Wan’er’. As if Bai Zhi was also a member of their Dongfang’s Family.
