After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Chapter 331 Lu Jiangnian dug a big hole for the second prince

Concubine Zhao stiffened her neck and refused to obey the arrangement: "Why? The Emperor must be protecting the Crown Prince. Ji'er is not good at speaking and will definitely not be able to convince the Emperor later. I cannot leave."

The emperor's face darkened, and his majesty was fully displayed. Concubine Zhao dared not speak anymore.

"If you don't leave, I will no longer be involved in this matter. You can investigate it yourselves."

The Third Prince advised Concubine Zhao: "Mother, please go back first. I will not let the murderer go unpunished."

"I am also your father's son. Although he is usually partial, he is always wise and will not condone the Crown Prince's attempt to murder his brothers."

Although he felt that the Third Prince was praising him, the Emperor always felt that these words were not so pleasant to the ear.

Why is he biased?

Sure enough, Concubine Zhao’s son looks just like Concubine Zhao.

After Concubine Zhao left, the imperial servants cleaned the palace and Feng Wei was taken away.

Only the emperor, the crown prince, the third prince, and Lu Jiangnian were left in the room.

"Tell me, what did you find?"

Lu Jiangnian did not keep the secret and took out a token from his arms, which was exactly the same as the one in the hands of the third prince.

The third prince exclaimed in surprise: "Lu Jiangnian, how come you also have..."

"This……"

"Father, was Feng Wei ordered by Lu Jiangnian?"

"So, it was the Crown Prince's order?"

Lu Jiangnian thought to himself, he didn't expect that the third prince was so good at acting. If he didn't know the inside story, he would have thought that this was what he thought.

The third prince simply wanted to vent his anger. Normally, he disliked the crown prince and Lu Jiangnian.

Although they were temporarily cooperating in order to deal with the Second Prince, he really enjoyed the feeling of pulling him down.

The emperor looked at him helplessly and said, "Shut up and listen to what Lord Lu has to say."

"Your Majesty, this token is related to the assassins who tried to kill me. It seems that the person behind Feng Wei is very likely the same person who masterminded the assassinations."

The emperor immediately thought of those assassins who died when Zhao Liangfeng died.

Lu Jiangnian went out this time originally to investigate the origins of those people.

This time, he must have found out something, which is why he was being hunted down.

Before, Lu Jiangnian seemed to be about to report the details, but was interrupted by the third prince.

The prince reacted quickly. He asked with concern, "Someone tried to assassinate you. Are you hurt?"

The Third Prince glanced at Lu Jiangnian with disdain: "Isn't he just standing there peacefully?"

"I'm the one who got hurt, Prince. Why don't you care about me?"

The prince politely replied, "Just now I saw that you were full of energy, so I knew your injury was not serious."

The Third Prince pointed at Lu Jiangnian unconvincedly, "He even ripped Feng Wei's collarbone apart with his bare hands. He's full of life and energy, like a devil demanding his life. I can't see anything wrong with his health."

The prince smiled and said nothing.

"Is what I said wrong? Why don't you answer?"

The emperor was annoyed by his noise. "Alright, you're the only one who talks too much. Jiang Nian was seriously injured, but he's always been patient. Unlike you, who is so squeamish and makes a fuss over the slightest injury, wishing everyone in the world knew about it."

The third prince opened his mouth and was about to say something, but then he remembered that the emperor would scold him for making a fuss, so he shut up helplessly.

Is that a minor injury?

Your arm is almost broken?

There wasn't a trace of blood on Lu Jiangnian's body, so how could he have been injured?

My father is partial. He has been partial since he was a child. He is partial to the crown prince and the people around him. Even the second and fifth sons are more favored than him.

Thinking of this, he felt a little depressed again.

The mood to sing opera disappeared in an instant.

The emperor had no time to pay attention to his emotional changes. Since the third prince's injury was related to those assassins, things were not that simple.

"All of you go back first. No discussion of what happened today is allowed."

The Third Prince looked up at him with a hint of hurt in his eyes. The Emperor's heart softened. "This matter is quite complicated. Don't worry. If it is the Crown Prince's fault, I will never cover it up. A prince who cannot treat his brothers well is not qualified to be the crown prince of Dajing."

The prince said nothing more. He simply replied firmly, "I, your son, will remember your father's teachings and will be respectful to my brothers. We will live in harmony and will not cause you any worries."

-

Finally, only the emperor and Lu Jiangnian were left in the palace.

Lu Jiangnian told the emperor what he had found out.

"Earlier, I discovered that one of the four assassins who died that day had a purse with a unique embroidery technique that originated in the Bashu area, so I proposed to go there to investigate."

"There are too few clues. At the beginning, I can only search aimlessly, like searching for a needle in a haystack."

"Later, I found an embroiderer and, following the clues, finally discovered the origin of this embroidery method."

The purse is real, and the embroidery is real, but Lu Jiangnian's search process is of course fake.

"There are very few people who understand this embroidery technique. I found one of them and, based on the clues she provided, I was able to find a place."

The emperor asked in a deep voice, "Where?"

"On the way from Bashu to Southern Xinjiang, I wandered around Dalu Mountain for a long time and discovered a valley where someone had set up camp."

"Camp? Training?"

The emperor stared straight at Lu Jiangnian, but Lu Jiangnian did not dodge and continued to tell the story calmly.

"It's not a military training camp, it's a stronghold that specializes in training death squads."

"However, it seems to have been abandoned. However, I found this token there."

"I have always been very careful, but I was still assassinated on the road. It seems that someone has mastered my whereabouts."

These words were well-founded and the emperor believed most of them.

"Draw the detailed route to the Dalushan camp."

The matter is of great importance, he will not just listen to Lu Jiangnian's one-sided statement, he needs to send someone to investigate further.

Lu Jiangnian had anticipated this long ago. When he formulated this plan, he had already given instructions to Xuanfeng to abandon the camp and rebuild it immediately.

He checked, but the emperor didn't believe it.

It would be great if the emperor's men could find some evidence implicating the second prince there.

However, during this period, they also need to remain silent, so that the emperor will become suspicious of the second prince, and find a way to separate the relationship between the crown prince and the second prince.

When everything fermented to the extreme, there was no possibility for the Second Prince and Concubine Liang to turn things around.

"I will draw the route map right away."

-

After Lu Jiangnian left the palace, the emperor immediately summoned the secret guards and asked them to investigate personally.

At the same time, he wrote a letter to the governor of Bazhou, asking him to cooperate closely.

The assassination of the third prince did not seem to cause any stir.

However, there were undercurrents in the court, rising and falling one after another, and there was a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come.

Under repression, people will become crazy.

The craziest person is Liang Zhi.

After Liang Shangjiong was impeached, he was banned from abusing others. Unfortunately, he has become a madman, so how can he have any rationality left?

He did not stop, and privately, his perverted methods became even more severe.

How could Minister Zhao, this old fox, miss such a good opportunity?

Liang Shangjiong and the second prince didn't know that Liang Zhi would not live for many days.

What they are worried about now is another matter.

A major matter concerning a man's face!

All of a sudden, they couldn't do it anymore!

The Second Prince was completely unable to favor the woman last night, and he still cannot accept this fact!

He is still so young, what could have gone wrong?
