A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chapter 42: Night Palace is Besieged

The maid expressed her doubts and asked, "This may not be done by His Majesty the Night King. Your Majesty, don't worry! I will send someone to find out the truth right away!"

As soon as the news of this incident came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the capital. The nobles had different opinions on this matter, and the vast majority of people believed that it was Chu Junye who did it. Because the two of them were the most likely to become the crown prince!

When the news reached Prince Chen's mansion, it was as if nothing had happened. After Chu Jingchen returned home, his face was as gloomy as ice. Without saying a word, he walked into the study and locked himself in, making it impossible for anyone to see him.

He sat alone at his desk, brush in hand, writing something on paper. However, his thoughts were completely occupied by Yi Duoer's figure, and he could not get rid of her shadow no matter what. Every time he thought of her, an indescribable feeling would surge in his heart, making him feel extremely painful.

No one dared to get close to the study. Qi Feng tried to report government affairs several times, but was turned away every time!

This made him feel puzzled, so he asked Han Bai many times, but Han Bai always kept silent about what happened for the sake of his master's face. Even when Qi Feng tempted him with a good weapon, he remained unmoved!

This time the master was really stimulated. It was also the first time for him to see Chu Jingchen like this. Qi Feng guessed, staring at Han Bai with a meaningful look.

"Is it because of that Princess Ye? What made the prince like this?"

Han Bo was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

Qi Feng raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, with a hint of cunning and teasing in his eyes. He gently opened the folding fan in his hand and waved it gracefully, showing his grace and temperament. However, in Han Bo's eyes, he looked down on all this.

Han Bai's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with disdain: "Stop trying to be cool, can you be as handsome as my prince? He's still fanning himself in such a cold weather. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" After that, he turned and left, no longer paying attention to Qi Feng. He began to patrol the surrounding environment,

In the Beijing post station,

Xie Xingchen wiped the sword with interest and replied in the opposite direction, "Master, the evidence has been pointed at Chu Junye. We are just waiting for them to prepare for the fight."

Xie Xingchen's face was expressionless, his eyes fixed on the sword. He wiped it carefully and said in a deep voice, "For the time being, you should keep your troops in place! Once the envoys from Dongli arrive in Beijing, I will make my own arrangements!"

"Yes!"

Nifeng replied respectfully,

Prince Chen's Mansion——

A guard came up to Han Bai and said, "General Han, this note was delivered by Qiu Chan via carrier pigeon."

The guard handed the note to Han Bo. Han Bo looked at the words on the note and said subconsciously: "Serves you right! You hurt the master. If you don't get sick, Yi Duo'er, who will get sick?"

He tore up the note after saying that. The guard looked at him in confusion and nervousness, and hurriedly said, "This is for the prince. Why did you tear it up? What if the prince blames me?"

Han Bo didn't care and said confidently: "Don't worry, the master won't blame you. Even if Yi Duo'er is dead now, the prince won't care. Just pretend it never happened. Is that clear?"

Since Han Bo said so, the guards had no choice but to give up and retreat.

In the study, Chu Jingchen sat at the desk and stared at the heart knot in a daze. He wanted to find her, but he was afraid that she didn't want to see him, and he was even more afraid that she would say something more heartless.

Then he would really lose her, so he gave her some time to calm down. He also needed to think carefully about how to make her happy!

Chu Jingchen may appear cold and heartless on the outside, but in reality, he values ​​affection more than anyone else. A woman he sets his sights on can only be his. Deep down, he's even more stubborn, dark, and overbearing than Chu Junye!

Thinking of this, I slowly closed my eyes!

The next morning, in the court!

Everyone was arguing endlessly about the assassination of the eldest prince. All the evidence pointed to Chu Junye as the two factions argued their case. The entire court was in chaos, and the arguments were endless.

The emperor was annoyed by their noise and shouted, "Shut up!"

As soon as the emperor spoke, the court fell silent. At this moment, the emperor looked at Chu Junye. He also suspected that Chu Junye was willing to kill his brother for the position of crown prince. With a little anger, he said:

"Third Prince, we have all the evidence! What do you have to say?"

Chu Junye hadn't expected this. He thought the eldest prince had staged a play himself, exchanging his life for life, with the purpose of framing him. His face instantly darkened, and he explained, "Father, I have never done this. Please give me some time, I will definitely investigate this matter!"

The emperor slammed the table angrily, pointed at Chu Junye and said, "You are still quibbling. Not only was the sharp arrow from your Ye Palace, but your eldest brother also said that he saw the true face of the assassin, and it was a guard from your palace! What else do you have to say!"

Chu Junheng knelt down at this moment, his tone extremely panicked, "Father, you can't believe my eldest brother's one-sided statement. I don't believe my third brother would do such a thing! Investigate this matter thoroughly before making a conclusion."

As soon as he said this, the officials of Chu Junye's party knelt down and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please reconsider! Find out the truth! Clear the Third Prince's name!"

The emperor's anger did not subside, but seeing so many people pleading for him, it meant that this case could not be settled hastily.

So he said:

"First, imprison the Third Prince Chu Junye in the Night Palace. His family and servants are not allowed to leave! The Ministry of Justice will begin an investigation into this matter!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he retired from court. Chu Junye did not panic because of his unfavorable situation. Instead, he was very calm and gave Chu Junheng a few instructions. Then he was taken away by the guards!

Chu Junheng was alone, wandering around in the same place, his steps were messy and hurried. His face was solemn, his brows were furrowed,

"Oh right, let's go find the Emperor's uncle! He must have a way to save my third brother!" He then hurriedly left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Night King's Mansion,

A group of soldiers surrounded the palace. The leading soldier, An Tingfeng (Jiang Lin), rode proudly to the front of the Ye Palace. His sinister gaze was directed forward!

Lou Feng brought some royal soldiers to confront the imperial guards. An Tingfeng looked at Lou Feng and frowned.

"An Tingfeng, the Night King is only imprisoned in the palace, and you dared to lead the guards to surround the palace! You are so brave!"

An Tingfeng's high nose bridge did not retreat because of Lou Feng's threat. Instead, he raised his voice and said, "This prince is under the order of the emperor to guard the Night Prince's Palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will!"

They remained in a stalemate for a few seconds, and then the Ninth Princess arrived with a token to leave the palace and exclaimed, "Prince An is so arrogant!"

After she dismounted, An Tingfeng still did not get off the horse. He greeted her on horseback and did not flatter her just because she was a princess.

The Ninth Princess asked Lou Feng to take his men away first. If the matter got out of hand, it would only bring more trouble to the Third Brother. Seeing them retreat, An Tingfeng waved his hand with a sharp eyebrow!

The Imperial Guards received the order and surrounded the Night Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner. The Ninth Princess glanced at him with a serious expression and threatened, "Father only ordered you to surround this place, not to show off your power and suppress it!"

An Tingfeng looked at the Ninth Princess solemnly, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "I will obey the emperor's orders, Ninth Princess, there is no need to worry!"

After saying this, he rode away without looking back. His behavior made the Ninth Princess very angry! All the young masters from the noble families bowed their heads and fawned over her when they saw her, but only An Tingfeng kept his distance every time he saw her!

A ferocious look appeared on her pretty face. "An Tingfeng, you wait for me!"
