Chapter 865: Letter to the Emperor
--------------------
Fei Qinfan stepped out of the carriage, he looked at Lai Jinfu with a set of thin lips. He really thought that after the war, the officials and the guards appointed were checked thoroughly, after all, how long has it been since the war was over, only a few years right?
The war was happening when he was five years old, just fifteen years and the entire system was once again gripped with corruption it was a good thing that he had sent the formula to his father or else he would have no way to deal with this man!
" Lai Jinfu! Who are you? You dare to steal things from the emperor ?" Fei Qinfan questioned, Chu Ying followed behind him. He never thought that Su Wan would suffer humiliation like this, just now when he was sitting inside the carriage he was feeling livid as well and he wasn't even Su Wan's husband!
At most, he was her little brother and yet he felt like he wanted to ruin Lai Jinfu's life, this man really dared to open his mouth!
When Lai Jinfu saw a man coming out of the carriage, he could not help but frown. What was going on? Who was this well-dressed scum? He looked at the green set of robes that Fei Qinfan was wearing and then sneered coldly, " Yo, looks like Madam Su came prepared. She even brought an actor with her."
To think that Su Wan would try to fool him like this, did she think that he was a four-year-old child? Who was Su Wan and who was the third prince Fei Qinfan? How could he be here? She was just coming up with ways of getting ridiculed!
When Su Wan heard Lai Jinfu's words, she was not at all bothered, she looked at the man and then stated coldly, " Why are you in a hurry? It's not like that the matter is closed right? We can see in a few days whether or not the formula has been handed to the Emperor or not?"
" Just wait for the imperial decree to arrive, do you think that the importance of concrete and bricks can only be seen by you and not the Emperor? I know how important and valuable these two things are and thus I already handed the formula to the Emperor, you can think of a way to come up with a solution to get the formula now."
Lai Jinfu did not think that he was in the wrong and still believed firmly that Su Wan was only acting which was why he rolled his eyes and pointed his sword straight at Fei Qinfan and said with a lazy voice, " You.,.. get out of the way, do you think I am a fool? Pretending to be a prince, why don't you go and look at that silly face of yours? How can you be a prince?
Leave before I throw you inside the yamen!"
" You dare point the sword at the prince!" Chu Ying took out his sword to point at Lai Jinfu but was stopped by Fei Qinfan who took out his imperial tally and showed it to Lai Jinfu.
" Look at this with your dog eyes and tell me who I am?" Fei Qinfan was furious, he was called silly-faced by a small officer! Who did he think he was? Did he think that he could call him silly face with that status of his?
At first, Lai Jinfu wanted to sneer at Fei Qinfan but then he took a second look at the tally in Fei Qinfan's hands and his sneer stopped midway. This … was really an imperial tally, there was no way it was faked!
" You…"
Fei Qinfan snorted. He did not waste his time and turned to look at Su Wan before saying, " Deal with him in however way you want."
The one who was embarrassed wasn't him but Su Wan, how could she be willing to end the matter so quietly? Su Wan looked at Fei Qinfan and turned to Lai Jinfu before raising the whip and smacking him on the face ruthlessly.
" I told you, you should watch your mouth!"
On the other side in the capital, Chu Ting entered the palace with the letter sent by the third prince and handed it directly to the crown prince who was sitting in the study with the Emperor.
The crown prince picked up the letter and read it carefully before his eyes widened causing the cup of tea in his hand to shake slightly.
This was the first time Emperor Fei had seen his son like this, he raised his brows and then asked in a slightly firm voice, " What is the matter? What did Qinfan do this time?" He thought that the reason his son lost his composure was because Fei Qinfan, that prodigal, runaway son of his had done something again which was why his tone was rather bad.
" It's not like that Father Emperor," Crown Prince Fei knew that his father had misunderstood the matter and then handed him the letter written by Fei Qinfan. " It looks like Miss Su is not a simple woman, she was able to come up with the formula of concrete and bricks. Take a look at this."
The Emperor started to read the letter that said,
' We have finally reached the Big Ocean City, thank you for the protection and facilities that you have handed us. I thank you, your majesty, for your grace, I accidentally found a way to come up with a cement and bricks formula. And I decided to dedicate it to the country and the Emperor. May you live long.
P.S.: If possible please send me a few artisans from the palace, I want to experiment with glass if it succeeds then I will certainly send the formula as well. And the third prince wants one-third of the shares of the profits, so please make sure to fill his treasury as well.'
Everyone in the room was stunned after Emperor Fei finished reading the letter.
