The prince was not injured but pretended to be seriously ill. What was his purpose? This question puzzled Qin Rubing.

However, what made her even more anxious was that since half of the time limit for crossing had passed, the system had actually increased the difficulty of the task.

Now, "Xiao Yu" no longer provides real-time surveillance camera function.

This means that Qin Rubing was completely unaware of the prince's latest deployment and actions against the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

She had lost an important source of intelligence and was unable to predict what might happen next or prepare countermeasures in advance.

The situation made her feel stressed and uneasy.

She knew that she had to find other ways to obtain information as soon as possible, otherwise she would be put in a passive situation and even endanger her own safety and the completion of her mission.

Chu Tiancheng decided to find an opportunity to test the prince's attitude.

He sent Zhu Shijie to the prince's bedroom under the pretext of visiting his illness.

Zhu Shijie pretended to care about the prince and asked about his health. The prince pretended to be weak and said he was very ill.

Zhu Shijie laughed secretly in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, and continued to ask with concern: "Your Highness should rest more and take care of yourself. But there is one thing I don't understand, why did Your Highness announce to the public that he was seriously ill?"

The prince coughed awkwardly a few times, then sighed and said, "I have my own plans, you don't need to ask any more questions."

Seeing this, Zhu Shijie knew that asking further would yield no results, so he stopped asking and instead talked about some irrelevant topics.

After leaving the prince's bedroom, Zhu Shijie became more certain that the prince must have some conspiracy.

Zhu Shijie told Chu Tiancheng about the prince's behavior. After discussion, the two decided to secretly investigate the prince's true intentions.

They used various means to collect clues and tried to uncover the prince's conspiracy.

At the same time, Qin Rubing was also trying to find other ways to obtain intelligence.

She paid attention to every detail in the Prince's Mansion, hoping to find some clues.

The informant that Ye Yi had previously planted in the Prince's Mansion found an opportunity to pass on an important piece of information.

According to the informant, the prince pretended to be seriously ill in order to focus everyone's attention on himself and cover up other things.

In fact, the prince was not really sick, but was secretly plotting a huge conspiracy.

The target of this conspiracy is Prince Yan’s Mansion!

The Crown Prince had long been dissatisfied with the Prince of Yan, but was afraid of his powerful influence and prestige and did not dare to act rashly.

So he came up with a sinister plan:

He pretended to be sick to attract everyone's attention, and took this opportunity to collude with some people with ulterior motives to plot against the King of Yan.

Some of these people were jealous of the Prince of Yan's status; others were bribed by the Crown Prince and were willing to serve as his minions.

The person behind all this was the ambitious and ruthless Concubine Qi.

She was determined to help the prince ascend the throne and would do so at any cost.

In her opinion, as long as the stumbling block of Prince Yan could be removed, the Crown Prince would be able to smoothly inherit the throne.

After obtaining this important information, Qin Rubing immediately told Chu Tiancheng and Zhu Shijie the news.

How should Chu Tiancheng respond to such a dangerous situation?

What other unknown secrets are hidden in this court struggle?

The development of the situation is becoming increasingly confusing.

After discussion, the three of them all agreed that the prince's conspiracy was carried out on the wedding day.
