Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Qin Zhaoyue felt cold all over.

It turns out...it turns out that the person behind the scenes had been targeting him from the very beginning!

Gu Dashi went to Yuning Mansion to "purchase goods", and he was also led to Yuning Mansion. Not only did he discover the matter of Jiaoyuan, but he was also forced to let Gu Dashi go because of the account book. Later, in order to catch Chao Zhenjun as bait, he had to show his goodwill to Gu Dashi...

Fortunately, Bei Qin was safe and sound at that time. He did not urgently need the power of Chao Zhen’s army and did not take the bait. Otherwise, if he made friends with Gu Dashi without knowing the truth, it would be tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!

"For what..." Qin Zhaoyue murmured.

Jingcun said nothing. He kept frowning and did not really suspect Yu Hu.

Qin Zhaoyue said: "What a good plan... He led me to Yuning Mansion, uncovered Sarhan's affairs, and deliberately made Yu Hu reveal the name of the so-called 'prince'..."

"It would be better to ask General Yu about this matter first." Jingcun said, "I think the hatred in his eyes is not fake. He has also been practicing martial arts diligently over the years, hoping to recover his skills..."

He stopped talking. Qin Zhaoyue's face did not look like he could think calmly, and even Jingcun could not say anything too disobedient at this moment.

Qin Zhaoyue was still counting the many forces in the court.

Since King Yin was introduced through Yu Hu's mouth, the person behind the scenes would not be him. Instead, he just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, letting the royal family's spearhead be directed at King Yin.

The affairs of Ganzhou were masterminded by Gu Dashi, so it was naturally not Qin Zhaochen who was behind it.

The Li family behind Qin Zhaoning? Or... the Hu family that was just wiped out?

There must be some connection.

Qin Zhaoyue stood up suddenly.

"Your Highness!" Jingcun said in a shocked voice, "Your Highness, think twice before you act!"

Qin Zhaoyue glanced at him, and the coldness in her eyes made Jingcun stunned.

"I will." Qin Zhaoyue said, "I'll go find Yu Hu right away."

He strode out of the room. Jingcun stood there for a moment, then chased after him.

His Highness's expression clearly showed suspicion. He had already formed a preconceived notion that Yu Hu was someone lurking by his side.

……

The backyard of the East Palace.

Yu Hu was walking slowly in the yard, holding a wooden wheelchair.

The sword was placed horizontally on the armrest of the wheelchair. This was not Yu Hu's original sword. The original one had been lost long ago and could not be found.

He looked calm, without any signs of emotion, perhaps his mood had changed drastically for some reason.

Yu Hu is now taciturn, gloomy and difficult to discern.

Qin Zhaoyue walked into the courtyard.

When Yu Hu saw him, his expression finally relaxed a little. He stood up reluctantly and clasped his fists: "Your Highness."

Qin Zhaoyue's expression had returned to calm. He did not speak, but walked closer and carefully observed Yu Hu's appearance.

This person is very different from before.

Qin Zhaoyue thought. She looked much more haggard, but her skin was whiter and more delicate than before. Maybe it was because she hadn't been out of the house for a long time, or maybe it was a flaw caused by her disguise.

There was no usual willfulness in those eyes, only stubbornness and perseverance.

Where is Yu Hu?

Qin Zhaoyue felt a pain in his chest. He picked up the sword on the wheelchair, unsheathed it, and played with it for a while.

Yu Hu looked at him suspiciously: "Your Highness?"

Qin Zhaoyue stood still for a moment, then suddenly swung his sword towards Yu Hu's throat!

"Your Highness!"

Behind him, Jingcun, who had just arrived, yelled.

Yu Hu was so frightened that he subconsciously took a step back, but his legs were disabled and could not bear the force, so he fell straight back and sat on the ground.

Qin Zhaoyue thought, he acted so well, just like Gu Dashi, even the pain in his legs was hard to tell whether it was real or fake.

Jingcun rushed over and quickly helped Yu Hu up from the ground.

"Your Highness?" Yu Hu was still in shock. He looked at Qin Zhaoyue with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

Qin Zhaoyue smiled and said, "I just want to see how much strength you have recovered."

Jingcun wanted to say something but stopped.

Yu Hu's expression was unnatural for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly: "What kind of skills do I have? Apart from these two hands, I can barely hold a sword..."

"Really?" Qin Zhaoyue smiled, "Don't be sad."

Yu Hu intuitively felt that something was not right with the prince today.

Qin Zhaoyue continued, "I came here today to ask you something. When we took you back to the East Palace from prison, did one of your cousins ​​come to see you?"

"Cousin? I don't have any cousin." Yu Hu frowned slightly, "Not to mention coming to visit. Over the years, the Yu family has come here about once a month, and every time they come, they are recorded in the files of the East Palace Guard. Your Highness can check and find out."

"Oh——" Qin Zhaoyue responded with a long sound.

Lie. He stared into Yu Hu's eyes.

Yu Hu lowered his eyes. He slowly stood up with the help of Jingcun's arm, refusing to sit in the wheelchair.

"What happened? Your Highness, is there something wrong?" Yu Hu looked at Qin Zhaoyue.

Jingcun took a deep breath.

Indeed, he had seen the whole process, and the things Qin Zhaoyue found strange could not be considered as imagination. After all, he did not know Yu Hu, and if he was really replaced by someone...

He said, "Your Highness is just concerned about General Yu, General Yu, please don't worry."

He whispered again: "Your Highness is too tired."

Yu Hu seemed to be thinking.

Qin Zhaoyue said: "Now is a time of trouble, you should rest well in the other courtyard and don't move around."

Yu Hu suddenly raised his eyes, with a hint of surprise on his face.

"I will send more Donglin guards to the other courtyard." Qin Zhaoyue said. He may have thought that he should not alert the enemy, but he could not completely confirm whether this person was real or not, so house arrest was the best option.

Yu Hu was a little bit incredulous, but perhaps because he had considered it, he didn't question anything on the spot. He just said, "Your Highness is sincere, I will obey your orders."

Qin Zhaoyue gave him a cold look and turned away.

It was not until Qin Zhaoyue's figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate that Yu Hu seemed to be relieved. Jingcun helped him sit down and did not refuse again.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Yu Hu asked.

"...The situation is tense now, and Your Highness is too tired." Jingcun could only repeat these words.

Yu Hu's identity was unknown, so should he reveal everything? It would be dangerous if he angered him and attempted to assassinate him.

Yu Hu didn't say anything, and there was no obvious emotion on his face. After Jingcun settled him down, he found that the sword had been taken away by Qin Zhaoyue.

Jingcun said goodbye politely and then went to chase Qin Zhaoyue.

Qin Zhaoyue didn't walk fast, but walked slowly in the alley of the East Palace, seeming to be worried about something.

"Your Highness..." Jingcun came behind him.

Qin Zhaoyue ignored him and just fell into deep thought.

"Your Highness, you and General Yu have a close relationship. Why don't you ask some things that only you two know? This way you can prove your identity." Jingcun said.

Qin Zhaoyue said: "Yu Hu might tell you about trivial matters in order to save his life. This method is useless."

Jingcun hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Then... just keep an eye on General Yu for now, and when everything is settled, we will have our say."
