The Iceberg Prince was teased by me

"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Ji Yunchu looked at her and smiled.

"Princess, are you tired? Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while? I'll wake you up when someone brings breakfast!"

After Su Yue heard Su Bai talk about the puppet killer, she admired her very much for being able to save the prince who fell off the cliff.

Here, the master and servant in Chen Garden were living in harmony, while on the other side, in Xianqing Palace, Prince Xiao, who had just woken up, heard from his servants that Li Duwei had brought back a lot of bandits, and Mu Yanchen had also come out of Prince Chen and was rushing to Jingzhao Prefecture to meet up with Li Duwei and the others.

Prince Xiao's eyes darkened, and he immediately got up from the bed. When Concubine Xian saw this, she also got up to change his clothes, wondering, "Your Highness, how come Mu Yanchen is so lucky that our people didn't kill him once or twice?"

"Yeah, it's really weird. The man had clearly fallen off the cliff, and the cliff was so deep that you couldn't see the bottom. How come he didn't die from the fall?"

Prince Xiao was also a little annoyed. After Concubine Xian helped him change his clothes, he walked to the dressing table and sat down. He was about to comb his hair, but Concubine Xian took it from his hands and combed it carefully for him.

At this moment, his mind was full of doubts, and he wanted to hurry out of the palace to check on his puppets.

Before leaving, he repeatedly told Concubine Xian: "Send someone to tell Xuan Er to leave the palace immediately and don't let anyone catch him."

When Concubine Xian saw how serious he spoke, she immediately sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to pass on the message after the man left.

But before she reached the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she was called away by the Queen's maid Qinglian on the way.

At that time in Jingzhao Prefecture, Mu Yanchen had already negotiated with Li Duwei, and Li Duwei's men would personally be responsible for guarding the bandits and the elderly, the weak, women and children in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison.

Then he and Li Duwei went to the palace to report.

On the way to the palace, Li Duwei couldn't help but ask out his curiosity: "Your Majesty, I have always had a question. Is it appropriate to ask?"

"You say!" Mu Yanchen said lightly.

Could it be that he discovered something when he was arresting people yesterday?

Seeing his indifferent expression, Li Duwei didn't know whether he should tell the truth or not.

I hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to start.

Seeing this, Mu Yanchen did not urge him, but glanced at him lightly with his beautiful black eyes, then retracted his gaze, took out a pot of tea from the drawer under the coffee table as if nothing had happened, leisurely poured two cups of tea, and handed one of them to Li Duwei.

"Master Li, have some tea. You worked hard yesterday and came back in a hurry. You didn't get much rest last night, right? Wait a minute, after meeting the Queen, go back and have a rest. Come back tomorrow to report on your work!"

Li Duwei took the cup of tea with both hands, and after thinking about it, he decided not to ask such a sensitive question, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go back to rest immediately after reporting to the emperor.

"But, Your Majesty, I have checked the details of those bandits. Apart from the clothes they wear and the swords in their hands, they have no other special features. It is impossible to tell who sent these puppets to stop us from suppressing the bandits."

Li Duwei asked cautiously, really worried that if he said a word wrong, he would be severely punished by the pressure from the cold prince Mu Yanchen.

"I don't know either. I need to ask Lord Ji to talk to my father later and ask him to allow you to lead people to carefully investigate all the forces in Kyoto City, both overt and covert. I believe that the person who created so many puppets behind the scenes will be found by you soon."

Even if Mu Yanchen knew, he didn't want to say it. He felt that Ji Yunchu was right and it was time to clean up the city of Kyoto. How many innocent people had been killed by the creation of such an inhumane killing tool as puppets?

He had always been submissive, which made them feel that he was easy to bully, so from today on, he would take the initiative and find a way to nip the hidden danger in the bud.

Li Duwei naturally agreed with his idea. After all, if there were more puppet killers like those, the situation in Kyoto City would be in turmoil.

"Your Highness is right. I will do as you say and ask the Emperor to conduct an investigation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Zhou Qing lifted the door curtain and came in, "Your Highness, it's bad, the emperor is ill! Prince Xuan claimed that he felt guilty and has been guarding the emperor's bed."

"What? The emperor fell ill?" Li Duwei asked in shock. "What happened? When I saw him yesterday morning, he was still healthy. How could he be ill and then..."

As Li Duwei spoke, his mind started working rapidly. All of a sudden he put everything together and understood why the emperor fell ill.

He sighed inwardly: Alas! The emperor has been working so hard to govern the country, but his sons are actually provoking him like this for his position. It really makes sense that the royal family has been so ruthless since ancient times!

As the emperor reached middle age and the princes grew up, ambitious people gradually surfaced.

Fighting for power will inevitably lead to various disturbances. Among the princes, Prince Hao is indecisive, Prince Jing is eager for quick success, Prince Xuan is a sinister villain and has no tolerance for others, Prince Chen is decisive and wholeheartedly serves the people, and the others have not shown obvious performance. Now the most suitable person for the position is Prince Chen...

The more Captain Li thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he saw the reality more clearly. He looked at Mu Yanchen with some sympathy: No wonder he has been unlucky this year, it turns out that everything is not accidental, but someone just doesn't want him to become the next crown prince!

Mu Yanchen fell into deep thought after hearing Zhou Qing's words. He never expected that Captain Li, who was riding in the same carriage, had already been thinking about it and secretly sympathized with his situation!

"Go and take the princess to the palace to take care of her!"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Qing looked at Mu Yanchen's cold face in surprise, and was suddenly at a loss: My Lord, although the princess is very powerful, this is the emperor, who is being watched all the time by the imperial doctors. If the princess goes out to save the emperor, wouldn't it easily arouse suspicion?

However, before Zhou Qing could speak, Captain Li spoke first, "Your Highness, isn't it against the rules to ask the princess to take care of the sick? The emperor has so many concubines in the harem, and it should be the ladies in the harem who take care of the sick!"

Zhou Qing looked at Mu Yanchen with approval, hoping that his prince would not be so ostentatious.

However, his eyes were full of desire, but in the end, he only got two words from Mu Yanchen: "Go!"

Zhou Qing was very puzzled, but he still nodded respectfully: "Yes, I'll leave right away!"

After the people left, the carriage continued to move towards the palace. Captain Li was also puzzled by Prince Chen's behavior at this time, but thinking that he must have his reasons for making such a decision, he did not say anything more, but sat quietly, hoping to see Emperor Ting soon.

Mu Yanchen also closed his eyes and began to think about the current situation and how to fight back.
