After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

Prince Guo Jun Xuzhang was very surprised to hear that His Majesty had arrived, as his lineage was not very close to that of the late emperor.

During the fight for the throne, he was not involved because he knew his own limitations, and that is why he and the concubine are able to live safely until now.

Just looking at his title, we can tell that his relationship with the late emperor was far less close than that of Prince Rui.

This emperor was able to ascend to the throne thanks to his own military achievements and the strong support of his relatives and Prince Rui. It had nothing to do with his uncle who stayed out of the matter.

He just lived his life without competing or fighting, without any merit or fault.

Apart from his position in the Ministry of Clan Affairs, he apparently had no real power.

So Your Majesty, please come visit me suddenly. I wonder what you are here for.

No matter what he guessed, he still had to welcome the holy carriage respectfully.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

"Uncle, there's no need to be so polite." Jun Linyuan said this, but in fact he neither stopped him before the ceremony nor went to support Prince Guo.

It can be seen that his attitude towards Jun Xuzhang was exactly as he expected, cold and indifferent.

What's worse, because Cui Mingruo and Jun Qinghong had disrupted his plans this time, he had already taken his anger out on Prince Guo.

Jun Xuzhang's heart skipped a beat when he heard His Majesty's flat tone.

One never comes to visit a temple for no reason. I'm afraid that Your Majesty's visit this time will bring disaster rather than blessing.

Sure enough, when he saw Ye Shi tied up, his fear reached its peak.

"Your Majesty." Jun Xuzhang looked at Jun Linyuan in embarrassment. How could he reveal his identity as a royal assassin in front of outsiders?

"Dequan." Jun Linyuan signaled Chu Dequan to take the others out.

Everyone filed out, leaving only three people in the main hall. Jun Xuzhang knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I deserve death!"

Although he didn't know what had alarmed His Majesty, the capture of Ye Shi was the best explanation.

Jun Qinghong, that little bastard, I'll skin him alive when he comes back!

Seeing his master kneeling down, Ye Shi immediately touched the ground with his head and crawled down.

"This is the killer who killed the people last night. Your uncle should know who he is. I won't say more."

Hearing that it only involved ordinary people, Jun Xuzhang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but since His Majesty could come in person, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not aware of this. Could you please allow me to investigate and then report back to you?"

"I hope that the Emperor's uncle can hand the culprit over to the Grand Historian to give the victim justice."

Jun Linyuan's target was not Prince Guo, so he didn't make it difficult for him, but he still had to make his goal clear first.

Mingze had finally gotten his help as the emperor, so this matter must be done for him.

Even if it cannot be done, we must "overcome all difficulties" to help him achieve it!

"I will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible." Jun Xuzhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Since His Majesty did not refuse, there is room for maneuver. Jun Qinghong is his only child after all.

He didn't want to hand him over unless it was absolutely necessary.

Jun Xuzhang respectfully saw Jun Linyuan off before returning to the main hall. After dismissing his attendants, he looked at Ye Shi expressionlessly.

"Tell me what's going on."

Ye Shi knelt down to Jun Xuzhang's feet and recounted the whole story.

Including why the prince gave him to Cui Mingruo, what Cui Mingruo had done in recent days, and why he sent him to assassinate Fang Xing.

He even confessed that Cui Mingruo tried to seduce Yun Chengyuan but failed, and used the prince as a substitute.

Qi Mingze was right. No matter how many masters a death warrior served, he would be absolutely loyal to his first master.

If there is a conflict between the two, the order of the first master shall prevail.

This was a special secret order issued by the royal family to the death squad in order to protect the prince from harm.

Jun Qinghong was just a prince and didn't know these royal secrets, so Cui Mingruo didn't guard against Ye Shi either.

Cui Mingruo is confident in his charm and the various skills granted by the system.

Who would have thought that Ye Shi sold him out without hesitation and told all his secrets to Prince Guo.

"How dare you! Why didn't you report such a big thing?" Jun Xuzhang kicked Ye Shi to the ground.

In fact, the assassins dared not disobey the orders of their master, and they only followed the orders of their first master for life.

As the second owner who gave him away, Jun Qinghong had no obligation to be responsible for him.

Jun Xuzhang certainly knew all this, but now that they had caused him such a big mess, what if he took his anger out on Ye Shi?

They are all a bunch of idiots. One of them was bewitched by beauty and even gave away the things that could save his life.

A man without self-awareness actually dared to set his sights on Prince Guo's mansion.

This guy is even more of a loser. He was caught for killing someone and his identity was exposed.

The more Jun Xuzhang thought about it, the angrier he became. He locked Ye Shi in the torture chamber and led a large group of people to Jun Qinghong's yard.

He had been there for a long time but hadn't seen Jun Qinghong come back. When he asked, he found out that the prince had not returned for many days.

The servants knelt on the ground in silence, and several personal maids even knocked their heads against their heads and broke them.

He didn't dare to stop even then, noticing that the prince's face had turned ashen and he was furious.

If this matter is not handled properly, not only will they be stuck, but their families will also be implicated.

Prince Guo's mansion is not a good place to be. The bodies of slaves are carried out of the mansion at any time and anywhere.

Until night fell, Jun Xuzhang still hadn't waited for Jun Qinghong.

He no longer showed mercy and directly took control of all the participants, preparing to send them directly to Taishige when the time came.

The maids and servants who knew about the incident but did not report it were beaten to death, and all the staff employed by Jun Qinghong were driven out of the palace.

The rest of the people, those who were not important, were sold off with their entire families.

Those who were unable to move were severely beaten and sent to remote courtyards and no longer held important positions.

When the old empress dowager and the princess came to plead for mercy, he "sent" them directly back to their respective courtyards.

Seeing that their son/prince was really angry this time, the two hostesses felt sad and did not dare to provoke him again.

"Reporting to the prince, our subordinates have not found the prince." The guards who went out to look for someone in the palace came to report.

They have searched all the houses under the name of the prince, and even the male favorites and concubines said that they have not seen the prince for a long time.

Shengjing is so big that I really don’t know where to look for it.

"A bunch of trash!"

Jun Xuzhang waved his sleeves and left the courtyard full of wailing. He walked to the study and spoke to the beam.

"Yeyi, go find Yeba and Yejiu."

"Yes, master." A man in black disappeared into the study.

Ye Yi quickly found Ye Ba and Ye Jiu, and brought Prince Guo to a hidden house that Cui Mingruo had set up under someone else's name.

The crowd arrived quietly and took everyone under control without giving the people in the house any chance to react.

At this time, Jun Qinghong and Cui Mingruo, who were completely unaware, were playing that very open "little game".

When Jun Xuzhang pushed open the door, Cui Mingruo was moaning in pleasure at being fucked by Jun Qinghong.

This lewd and dissolute scene was so shocking that even Jun Xuzhang, a veteran in the love field who had walked through a sea of flowers without getting hurt, was astonished.

When he saw his father, Jun Qinghong was not panicked. He just pulled Cui Mingruo, who was kneeling on him, away and wrapped him tightly with a quilt, then got out of bed to pay his respects to his father.

He thought it was just some trivial matter again, but Jun Xuzhang slapped him directly in the face, knocking him down on the bed.

"Jun Qinghong, you are so bold that you dare to secretly send the death warrior to this bitch."

Jun Qinghong was stunned and didn't react for a while.

Cui Mingruo knew that Prince Guo would come to call for punishment, and the only one who could save him now was Jun Qinghong.

"Brother Hong." He rushed to Jun Qinghong and hugged him with tears in his eyes.

"What a pair of star-crossed lovers, inseparable. Come, take the prince back. He is not allowed to leave without my order."

Jun Xuzhang looked at Cui Mingruo with contempt as if he were an ant, and began to decide his fate.

“As for you, you have to bear the consequences of your own actions.

I won't kill you, and I have no control over what Taishige wants to do to you."

"Brother Hong, save me." Cui Mingruo protected her stomach with her hands, hinting to Jun Qinghong.

"Father, you can't hand him over. Ruo'er is pregnant with my child."

Jun Qinghong shouted loudly, shocking everyone for a moment.

Jun Xuzhang seemed to be thinking about something, and just had them taken back and locked up separately.

A few days later, Prince Guo's Mansion sent several participants and the body of the assassination mastermind "Cui Mingruo" to the Taishi Pavilion.
