Crown Prince's Counterattack

"Your Highness, what do you mean..."

Eunuch Meng's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty. Could it be that the real poisoner wasn't Prince Gong? !

"After this, there is a deeper hidden behind-the-scenes manipulator. The third brother is afraid that he will become a pawn in someone else's hands..."

There was no emotion on Sima Yi's face. From the information he secretly collected, there was a huge force hidden behind the third brother's woman, and they influenced the third brother through that woman, forcing Zhu Bian to go In the current situation, the ink inkstone was sent from Prince Gong's Mansion to the East Palace three years ago, and at that time, the woman probably had already controlled the Prince Gong's Mansion, so who is behind the ink inkstone is not yet known. It can be seen.

He released the fake news just to lure the people who were lurking around him, but he didn't expect the news from Prince Gong's mansion. He was not disappointed at that moment. However, today he also found out some information from the conversation between Zhu Yan and the woman. If he guessed correctly, the inkstones sent these few times may be Zhu Yan’s handwriting, but in the past few years, the It may not be, I'm afraid that the woman sent it in under the guise of Prince Gong's Mansion, in order to let Zhu Yan be the scapegoat who murdered the East Palace.

Sima Yi felt sorry for him being tied down by a woman, but he didn't necessarily feel that he was self-inflicted. The queen once commented on this son's ambition and talent, but today he realized that only the mother knows his son best. His life is all for this blood and family relationship, but he can't do anything else. After all, forcing the palace is really not a small matter, and he still has to keep that woman, not just because he promised to keep that woman More importantly, as long as she is still in his hands, there will always be big fish that will bite the bait. He believes that the real antidote will only come from the mastermind behind the scenes.

Now that all the dirty things around him have been cleaned up, and Li Ji has devoted himself to taking care of Sima Yi these days, his dilapidated body shows no signs of deteriorating for the time being, but the antidote has not been obtained for a day, and this has become a... The sex in his body.

"Eunuch Meng, tell me to go on, you must take good care of that woman, if anything happens, let them come to see you!"

Killing intent loomed in Sima Yi's flat tone, and Eunuch Meng's heart trembled, and he quickly agreed.

Seeing Eunuch Meng leave, Sima Yi got up after drinking a cup of clear tea and prepared to go to a place to settle some matters and warn someone by the way.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is coming—"

After receiving the news, Yuan Wu trotted all the way into Mrs. Lu's room, looking anxious.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not a womanizer in the first place. Some of the women in the East Palace were mostly traded by the previous dynasty, so they rarely came to the harem on weekdays, and even less time to visit the Crown Princess' bedroom, unless To discuss something, they rarely stay overnight on weekdays.Especially these days, His Royal Highness seems to be in poor health, and the women in the harem rarely see His Highness. The only thing that makes Yuan Wu feel relieved is that His Royal Highness still respects his master very much, and he will not let some messy women provoke him. The status of the crown princess, not to mention that the Second Highness is also deeply loved by the crown prince and His Majesty.

There was also some joy on Lu's face. He hadn't heard any news from His Highness these days, and he didn't know His current physical condition, so he was extremely excited when he knew that His Highness was coming to Lu's.She hurriedly asked Yuan Wu to help her touch up some makeup, which made her complexion look better. She knew that she was already old and pale, and she was not as good as those watery fairies. She had passed the age of impulsive jealousy Well, the only thing she has learned over the years is patience, and one day, she will be the only one who can accompany His Highness to the end.

Not long after Mrs. Lu washed up, changed her clothes and came out, Sima Yi arrived right after her.

Every time he changes his body, the most difficult thing to deal with is the problem of these women in the harem. Not only does he have to cover up his changes flawlessly, but more importantly, these are all women from his previous body. If he sleeps, it will be a huge pressure. Therefore, under normal circumstances, he will choose some beautiful women who have just entered the palace to serve him personally, but when something really happens, he will still find him like this. Sometimes dealing with the crown princess is much less stressful than dealing with other women, because the crown princess is always Only a virtuous and decent lady can do it.

"Your Highness—"

Seeing Sima Yi walking in with a gloomy face, the smile on Lu's face also froze, and he even spoke cautiously.

Yuan Wu was also a little scared. After serving the tea and taking a look at Mrs. Lu, he left the room, leaving space.

"Your Highness, are you here today for something?"

Mrs. Lu said cautiously, Sima Yi's unsightly expression meant that His Highness must have come here for something, Mrs. Lu suppressed the slight disappointment in her heart, she knew that this was her responsibility as a princess, to replace her husband share affairs.

"You still dare to ask?!"

Sima Yi's face suddenly turned aside, and he slapped the carved wooden table hard, the sound was so loud that even Yuan Wu, who was guarding outside the door, heard it.

Yuan Wu's face was solemn and anxious, so she could only pace helplessly at the door, secretly praying that His Highness the Crown Prince would not be too angry, let alone scold her mother, in short, she was in a very disturbed mood.

"I hope His Highness will speak clearly"

Lu Shi was also taken aback, but she calmed down quickly after having experienced many storms. At this time, it is taboo to mess up. She faced Sima Yi directly, with an innocent look on her face.

Sima Yi was a little disappointed to see that his sudden intentional move didn't achieve the effect he wanted, but it further showed the difficulty of the Lu family.

"These days when I was in a coma, I heard that there were some false rumors circulating in the palace. I would like to ask, how do you, the princess, manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace?"

"What rumors? The concubine has been worrying about His Highness's health these days. She doesn't think about eating and drinking. Maybe she has been negligent in trivial matters. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Lu's heart tightened, and he quickly knelt down to plead guilty to Sima Yi, the words were full of deep friendship, what he said was so affectionate, how could one have the heart to punish him.

"It seems that the Crown Princess really cares about Gu, but it's not the reason why you let those rumors run rampant. If you can't manage the palace affairs well, then Gu can only choose another talented person. You don't want to think about the Crown Princess. Does this happen?"

How could Sima Yi be easily moved by these seemingly pleasant words? He just glanced at Mrs. Lu lightly, and his words were a bit more impolite. He doesn't want to move her position for the time being, as long as she doesn't do unnecessary things .

"Don't think that you don't know about the things you do, but for Yun Yun's sake, you don't want him to know that there is a mother like you, so you don't have to say much about what you should do next. "

"The concubine knows"

Gritting her teeth, Lu agreed, covering up the viciousness looming in her eyes, showing a sincere and fearful attitude to reassure Sima Yi.

Sima Yi nodded, satisfied with the success of his trip, now he is at a critical juncture, and he doesn't want to be distracted by the dispute in the harem.Having achieved his goal, Sima Yi didn't stay any longer, and Lu's expression was full of hatred. She didn't expect His Highness to find out that she was behind the scenes, and she didn't expect His Highness to personally come to warn her because of that evil.

In the dark prison, there are countless prisoners who have been severely sentenced. There are screams and shouts everywhere. Everyone detained here is extremely vicious and guarded tightly. Without a corresponding badge, no one will be allowed to pass.

And in a damp and dark cell on the far left, a frail woman was held alone, curled up against the foot of the wall, her eyes glazed over.

The movements around her could wake her up at any moment, and being locked up in this kind of place alone was a huge mental torture for Zhao Lu.

At night, the moonlight fell into the small room through the bars, and Zhao Lu stared out of the window, without any sleepiness in his eyes.

At this time, most of the people in the prison were fast asleep.

A man dressed as a eunuch quietly appeared in front of Chaolu's prison door. He lowered his head, his whole face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly. When he opened his mouth, his voice was rough and hoarse. It doesn't sound like a eunuch at all.

"You did a good job. Master is very satisfied. Your younger brother has been arranged to marry a wife and have children in Yangzhou. You can rest assured. You should know what to do next."

As soon as the voice fell, the man disappeared into the darkness, and even the footsteps could not be heard, like a ghost at night.

Zhao Lu saw a small porcelain vase placed in front of the door, she walked forward, the iron chain kept making noises, she picked up the small porcelain vase, and held it tightly in her hand, refusing to let go.

She thought of what that person said just now, and a vain smile appeared on her face. He was able to live a stable life like an ordinary person, so it was not in vain for her years of hard struggle, and she was also worthy of her dead parents. Chaolu showed a relaxed smile that she had never seen before.

She uncorked the bottle, poured the only pill in her hand, and swallowed it with her eyes closed. There was a burst of severe pain, and she frowned tightly. She seemed to see that person appearing in front of her. , she wanted to reach out to hold his hand, but he pushed it away with a smile...

Early in the morning, when Eunuch Meng received the news from the sky prison, his eyes immediately turned black, and his face looked mournful. It wasn't that he was alive yesterday, but why he suddenly died of poison today. I told you to keep an eye on that woman! ! !

He looked hesitant and worried, how should he explain this matter to His Highness——
