After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

At the same time, under Zhou Yichen's instructions, Tang Yuhuai shook off the assassin behind him and went his separate ways from Zhou Yichen.

Zhou Yichen went to the Dali Temple with injuries and struck the drum outside the temple. The sound of the drum was quite loud, and Zhou Yichen used up all his remaining strength to strike the drum.

The door of the Dali Temple opened after ten knocks, but there were no officials inside.

Zhou Yichen took out the jade pendant that symbolized his princely status and asked someone to fetch the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

A neatly dressed official arrived. He wanted to scold the officials for knocking so late at night, and told them that if they had any complaints, they should come back tomorrow.

As a result, when he opened and squinted his eyes, he saw... the face of Prince Yan. The key point was that Prince Yan was covered in blood, and his moon-white robe was so dark that the original color could hardly be seen, as it had been soaked and stained with blood.

"Your humble servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan." The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple hurriedly saluted. As for the Dali Temple guards who were opening the door nearby, when they saw the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple kneeling down, they also followed suit and knelt down.

"Get up." Zhou Yichen didn't have time to waste talking to him.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

"I was assassinated on my way back home. Prince Chu was surrounded by assassins in order to help me break through. I need the cooperation of your Dali Temple. Immediately mobilize all the people in the Dali Temple to surround the assassins!"

Gao Tianyang, the Minister of the Dali Temple, frowned and said, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. I dare not act rashly. I need to report to my superiors before I can act."

The purpose of reporting to the higher authorities was naturally to ask for the eighth prince's instructions.

The Dali Temple is an independent institution. Even if there are officials above it, they are not his direct superiors. The Dali Temple Chief is the highest commander of the Dali Temple. If he really wants to help, he doesn't need to report it.

Moreover, even if there were people above him, when the prince was assassinated, the Dali Temple should have cooperated in finding the assassin. This was not excessive and there was no need to apply to the higher authorities.

It's nothing more than the person in front of you trying to refuse and delay time.

Zhou Yichen seemed to be smiling, but his pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes made the Dali Temple official's scalp tingle and he felt like a thorn in his back.

"Where do you want to go for instructions? This king has been assassinated and seriously injured, and Prince Chu is still surrounded by assassins. Tell me, do you need to report this matter?"

"Do you want to wait until all the dead bodies are laid out in front of you before you investigate?" His words were terrifying.

I have always heard that Prince Yan is as gentle as jade, and is the most gentlemanly of all the princes. Gao Tianyang doesn't want this to be the scene he faces Prince Yan for the first time.

He felt the approaching pressure from King Yan.

Even though the Dali Temple Minister has the Yao family behind him, he is not a real high-ranking official after all, and his abilities are average. He is not valued and would really offend a prince.

If Prince Yan couldn't kill the Yao family, it would be easy for him to kill him.

No matter how conceited and stubborn he was, he would not dare to use such words on Prince Yan. Until the end, no one knew who would ascend the throne.

Especially since the Prince of Yan had just returned from Yunzhou and had made great contributions, if he sat back and did nothing at this time, I'm afraid...

What Zhou Yichen was betting on was that the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple would not dare to truly offend him. Even if he stood on the side of the Yao family, the Yao family had a high opinion of themselves and would not look down on a mere Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

"Gao Tianyang, have you thought clearly about the consequences of offending me and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"

"..."

Gao Tianyang was already sweating profusely and his whole body was cold.

Naturally, he hadn't thought through the consequences. Offending just one person would be enough to get him killed, not to mention the loyal and brave Marquis Mansion.

Even though the old marquis has resigned and is at home now, the prince's father, the current marquis, has mediocre abilities. Which general can be easily provoked when he can follow the retired emperor to conquer the world?

The older the family, the more hidden cards it has that others cannot see. If he flips over any one of these hidden cards, it will be enough to make him unable to recover in his life.

Besides, Chu Qibai is the only heir of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. Regardless of party disputes and status, he is still the person the Ninth Princess likes...

If something happened to Prince Chu, Gao Tianyang could already imagine how many people would want to attack him.

"Since you don't want to offend, then take action."

Gao Tianyang, "......"

Zhou Yichen's eyes were cold and stern as he swept over, "Why don't you send someone to look for him!"

Gao Tianyang heaved a long sigh of relief, and regardless of the look from his lawyer next to him, he quickly sent someone to gather people and go look for that person.

The Dali Temple could not muster many people, only a few dozen at most. Besides, these people's martial arts were not that good. Even if there were a few who were pretty good, they were far from being able to defeat two people at once.

Zhou Yichen forced them out...

His original intention was not to expect them to keep the assassin. He just needed a legitimate reason to keep the assassin for interrogation and let everyone in the capital know about their assassination.

As long as someone falls into their hands, the people behind the scenes will not dare to act rashly. They will be afraid that Zhou Yichen will ask something, and they are even more afraid that Zhou Yichen will make a big deal out of this.

After all, Zhou Yichen is a prince. He appeared in the Dali Temple covered in blood. With so many people seeing him, Gao Tianyang naturally had to ask a doctor to check on Zhou Yichen.

If a prince died here, he...would have no need to live.

No matter how fierce the party struggles are, they are the princes' business. He dare not take the responsibility of murdering the prince.

Zhou Yichen waved his hand to refuse, then asked a guard who looked quite honest to ask the imperial physician to take his jade pendant.

Gao Tianyang...

He knew that the King of Yan was on guard against him, and he did not dare to raise any objection. After all, if he died here, he would really have to die to atone for his crime, and his entire family would have to sacrifice their lives.

Zhou Yichen asked the guards to invite Imperial Physician Yuan, who had been to Yunzhou with him before. He was an upright person and never participated in party disputes.

His condition is not good now and he will soon fall into a coma. We must find a trustworthy physician to treat him.

Dali Temple...is just a smokescreen. The real manpower was mobilized by Tang Yuhuai. Tang Yuhuai disguised himself and went to Jinwuwei first to mobilize his trusted subordinates to go to Wutong Lane first.

Then he found Zheng Hao, who was about to return to Prince Yan's Mansion after sending Rong Qingzhu, and asked him to find a way to avoid the ambush of those people and return to Prince Yan's Mansion to mobilize people to clean up the ambushers and catch those who can be caught.

Finally, Tang Yuhuai went to the Marquis' Mansion and found the old Marquis.

"You said Qibai was surrounded? The assassin was from Western Chu?" The current marquis, Chu Qibai's father, was awakened and hurriedly put on his clothes, and was extremely anxious.

"Dad, we have to go and rescue people!"

Yun held the handkerchief tightly and waited for her father-in-law's answer.

Tang Yuhuai was almost stunned by the Marquis's impetuous temper. This... was really two extremes compared to Qi Bai.

Qi Bai really doesn't look like his father at all.

The old marquis said nothing, looking thoughtful.

Tang Yuhuai put away his surprised look and nodded, "Old Marquis, is there anyone in the mansion who can be mobilized? I'm worried that if I go too late, Qi Bai will be in danger."

Prince Yan said that in this matter, both the Marquis' Mansion and Prince Yan's Mansion could send people, but the Tang family could not.
