Lin Qingya strolled alone on the wide road of the imperial palace. Her steps were leisurely. She did not go to the imperial study, but chose the road leading to the palace gate.

She entered the palace today without a maid, and she did not let a maid lead the way in Ronghua Palace just now.

She was afraid that they would take her to a room filled with drugs and then attract the guards, and then she would be unable to defend herself.

Now, she was wandering alone in this strange palace. Although the scenery was picturesque, she couldn't help feeling a little confused.

As she walked, Lin Qingya found herself at the gate of Dekun Palace without realizing it.

This is the residence of the queen, solemn yet elegant. The queen has no princes, only a princess, and later adopted the third prince as her son.

The third prince had a rather tortuous life story. His biological mother was just a concubine of low rank in the palace and unfortunately died young.

Seeing that he was alone and helpless, the queen adopted him and treated him as her own son.

However, the third prince could never let go of his longing for and guilt over his biological mother. He was bent on avenging his biological mother and seemed indifferent to the fight for the throne.

This detachment and indifference made the queen quite dissatisfied.

Every time the queen saw the Third Prince's nonchalant and calm look, an indescribable resentment welled up in her heart.

Despite this, the third prince showed amazing talent in both civil and military affairs.

He loved wielding swords and guns, and was obsessed with poetry and songs. He was a man of both civil and military talents.

In terms of martial arts, he became a disciple of a famous master of the Shaoyang Sect, a hidden and great sect, and learned from the elders of the sect and mastered the true teachings.

And his senior brother is Lin Qingya’s husband, Gu Yuchen.

Gu Yuchen’s master is the leader of Shaoyang Sect. Although they are not related, their relationship is like that of father and son.

Gu Yuchen's martial arts attainments are also extraordinary, and his master is a close friend of Gu Yuchen's uncle An Xinyang.

When Gu Yuchen was five years old, after the imperial concubine passed away, An Xinyang entrusted Gu Yuchen to the care of the clan leader.

From then on, the sect leader would secretly go to the palace every day to teach Gu Yuchen martial arts, teaching him how to cultivate internal strength and perform special moves.

However, the sect leader strictly warned Gu Yuchen that he must not show his skills easily before he has enough strength to protect himself, and he must endure it even if he is bullied.

Gu Yuchen followed his master's orders and devoted himself to his training until he was nine years old, when he was taken to the military camp by Prince Ming for training.

His master also came along and strictly supervised his practice progress every day.

It can be said that Gu Yuchen’s achievements today are inseparable from his master’s careful teaching and strict requirements.

Lin Qingya stood in front of Dekun Palace, not knowing where to go. At this time, the gate of Dekun Palace opened, and Lin Qingya dodged and hid behind the palace wall.

Seeing the third prince coming out, there was a guard beside him. After the palace gate was closed, the third prince turned to Lin Qingya and asked, "Who's there?" Lin Qingya had just forgotten to restrain her breath. Unexpectedly, she was discovered by the third prince.

Deep in the palace, a war without the smoke of gunpowder is quietly taking place.

In the Imperial Study, Emperor Yuanjin and Prince Chen, two members of the royal family with distinguished status,

Like two tigers ready to pounce,

Tit for tat, neither side giving in.

Their eyes are as sharp as swords.

It seems that any slight negligence may result in a fatal blow from the opponent.

Emperor Yuan Jin sat on the dragon throne, his expression seemingly calm, but his eyes revealed an indescribable depth.

He glanced at King Chen below and spoke slowly:

"Brother Chen, how is the investigation into the poisoning going? If necessary, I can ask the Dali Temple to help investigate the matter thoroughly."

King Chen was slightly stunned, and then a cold smile appeared on his lips. He knew in his heart that this so-called "poisoning"

It was just an excuse. The emperor's real purpose was to use this opportunity to find out what poison he had been poisoned with.

Weaken his power. Although King Chen was angry in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. He lowered his head slightly.

He replied respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, my brother. I have already sent someone to investigate secretly, and I believe there will be results soon."

After hearing Prince Chen's answer, Emperor Yuan Jin had a sneer in his eyes.

He nodded and continued, "Brother Chen, I know that you have always been loyal and have made many contributions to the court.

But this poisoning incident is of great importance after all. I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible and help me continue to protect Dayan’s country.”

Prince Chen sneered in his heart. He looked up at the emperor, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

He knew that the battle had just begun, so he had to remain vigilant and not be negligent.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Then he replied respectfully: "Yes, my Royal Brother. I will do my best to find out the truth and will never let you down."

As King Chen finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence.

Emperor Yuan Jin looked at Prince Chen's nonchalant expression, as if he was silently competing with him.

There was an indescribable tension in the air that made people feel suffocated.

King Chen suddenly said, "But now we know how the poisoning happened."

There was a hint of surprise in Emperor Yuan Jin's eyes. He looked at Prince Chen and found that there was also a subtle flash of surprise in Prince Chen's eyes.

Emperor Yuan Jin secretly sneered in his heart, thinking: "It seems that this poisoning is indeed difficult to cure. I'm afraid that you, Prince Chen, will not be able to escape this time."

King Chen said: "I accidentally drank a cup of poisoned water while fighting on the frontier.

And based on my brother's symptoms and pulse, I can conclude that this poisoning is inseparable from that glass of water."

Emperor Yuan Jin looked at the determination in Prince Chen's eyes and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

He knew that King Chen was not someone who could be easily defeated; he had his own ambitions and strategies.

In this battle, he must defeat King Chen in one go and cannot be negligent in any way.

He took a deep breath, then looked at King Chen and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Chen, have you found out who did it? I don't want you to make any mistakes."

Prince Chen bowed his head and replied, "Yes, my royal brother. I have checked it many times and the results are the same. It was one of my lieutenants who poisoned me."

The emperor nodded and said nothing more. He knew that

The most important thing now is to stay calm and rational and not let King Chen see any flaws.

He looked at King Chen deeply.

"I hope we can find the real murderer. Well, it's getting late and I'm tired, so I won't keep Brother Chen for dinner."

Gu Yuchen bowed to the emperor and walked out of the imperial study. He bumped into a eunuch who was running hurriedly into the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, he heard him shouting loudly, "Oh no, oh no, the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Pharmacy has been robbed."

The emperor was furious and threw the inkstone at the eunuch, "What was stolen? Where was it stolen?"

After hearing this, Gu Yuchen's mouth curled up, his expression relaxed, and he felt secretly happy, "This is only the first round."
