After some ridicule, the henchman left a sentence and turned away. According to his master's orders, it is time to go back and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to the palace.

Inside the Royal Palace.

The breeze gusted and made people feel a little sleepy.

The emperor was dealing with the twists and turns, and for a long time, he finally couldn't bear the sleepiness of the sky, and supported his head with one hand, his eyes narrowed.

The father-in-law walked in and saw the emperor in his sleep, a little overwhelmed. After a while, he spoke a little tentatively: "Your Majesty?"

Seeing that the emperor had not yet sobered up, his father-in-law took a few steps closer and raised his voice, "Your Majesty." ”

As soon as the words fell, the emperor waved his hand and signaled for the people to be quiet.

Seeing this, the father-in-law couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince's guards came to ask for a meeting." ”

Prince? Hearing this, the emperor opened his eyes, and the sleepiness in his eyes immediately dissipated, and he hurriedly passed people in.

One of the guards stepped in, saluted, and then respectfully said why.

As soon as the words fell, the emperor's face was furious, he slapped the table, and said in a loud voice: "Someone dares to secretly calculate the prince? It's the other way around! ”

Seeing that Qing Jue did not appear in the main hall, the emperor's face was gloomy, "What about the prince?" ”

Hearing this, the guards were stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been injured a little, and it is being passed that the imperial doctor is bandaging." ”

Although he didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't come to the main hall yet, this remark was absolutely harmless to His Royal Highness the Prince, and could even increase the emperor's anger, which had some advantages for His Royal Highness the Prince.

The guards nodded to the door, and the other guards escorted a group of masked men to the temple.

They all had a mass of cloth stuffed in their mouths, so that they would not have to swallow medicine to commit suicide on the way to the palace.

The masked man saw a brilliant scene in front of him, and above the high position, it was a man dressed in a dragon robe with a gloomy face. Realizing who the man was, the masked man panicked uncontrollably, and then fell to his knees with a shudder.

Seeing this, the guard sneered disdainfully. With this guts, he even dared to assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince, which really ate the gall of a leopard.

"It's just a few of you who want to assassinate the prince?" The voices of the people on the high positions exude a majesty that cannot be ignored.

As soon as the words fell, the guard stretched out his hand, pulled the cloth from the masked mouth, and waited aside.

The masked man's mouth was free, and when he tried to beg for mercy, his mouth shook uncontrollably.

Outside the temple.

There was a black shadow hiding in the dark, listening carefully to the sounds in the hall, seeing that the development of the situation was a little out of control, and hurriedly ran towards the Three Kings' Mansion.

The black shadow was Qinglan's subordinate, and after he entered the Three Princes' Mansion unimpeded, he anxiously reported: "Your Highness, our people have been arrested and taken to the palace for interrogation."

"Capture the palace?" Hearing this, Qinglan's head was a little blank, and then he scolded angrily, "What a bunch of waste, you can be arrested for being so secretive." Worse than useless! ”

"Your Highness, my subordinates think you have to go to the palace quickly."

If you don't go to the palace again, I'm afraid that their affairs will be exposed.

"Prepare the carriage and horses!"

"Yes." UU Library

On the other side, the masked men were already so frightened that they couldn't make a sound, and the emperor couldn't hear the sound for a long time, and his brows furrowed slightly, "I ask again, did you assassinate the prince!" The tone was already a little impatient.

As if seeing his fate, the boss took a few deep breaths, steady his trembling hands, and then nodded with difficulty.

At this point, he is nothing more than admitting the crime. It's just that he has no other way but to confess his sins.

"Say, who is bold enough to dare to make a move on the prince." The emperor walked down slowly, and the aura on his body poured out.

The masked man lowered his head, and suddenly regretted making an agreement with Qinglan. It took a long time before he spoke: "It's the third prince Qinglan."

At this moment, the hall fell into complete silence, as if a person's breath could be heard.

The emperor smiled, his eyes full of coldness, "Lan'er? It turned out to be him. ”

He actually knew that Lan'er wanted to compete with the prince for power, but he didn't put it on the surface, so he turned a blind eye. It's just that with such a big incident today, the prince is nothing more than in danger.

As soon as the words fell, Qinglan entered the hall, regardless of how his father-in-law dissuaded him.

"See Father!" After Qing Lan saluted, he turned his eyes to look at the people kneeling on the ground, with a bit of evil hidden in their eyes, these people dared to betray him.

The emperor looked up at the people who came, frowning slightly, "Lan'er came just in time, these people said that you instructed them to assassinate the crown prince." I ask you if this is true. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qinglan picked up his clothes and knelt down suddenly, "Erchen didn't do such a big rebellion, and I asked my father to find out." ”

Seeing this, the emperor turned around and rubbed his eyebrows.

Taking advantage of this, Qinglan cast a color on a few people and warned them silently.

The masked man trembled unconsciously at his gaze. Then, as if plucking up courage, the masked man said in a trembling voice, "Yes...... It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who threatened the villain, and if the villain didn't say so, he would kill the villain's mother. ”

Seeing that the emperor was still silent, the masked man swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of fear, "The villain has no power and no power, and can only obey the orders of the prince." It is a trivial matter for the villain to lose his life for this, lest the reputation of the three princes be ruined. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qinglan withdrew his gaze, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little crazy. Thanks to this man, he is also a clever man, and he beat the prince.

Just as the emperor was about to exit, his father-in-law said in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see."

After the emperor took his seat, he nodded.

Afterwards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the hall, and saw that Qinglan had been kneeling, and he didn't react much, and his face was always mild.

"I heard you got some injuries this time." The emperor's eyes looked at Qing Jue with a little more care, and this little care happened to be seen by Qing Lan below, the hands in the sleeves were clenched unconsciously, and the green tendons on his hands were a little protruding.

Hearing this, Qing Jue was slightly stunned, and after seeing the eyes of his guards, he understood, "Thank you for your concern, my son is fine." ”

Then, he turned to look at the masked man with a smile on his face, "This hall has been busy with martial arts performances recently, how can I have time to arrange this play." ”

"Besides, slandering the crown prince is a serious crime." In a word, it seems to remind Qinglan and the masked man.

Seeing that Qinglan and Qingjue insisted on their own words, the emperor was a little big-headed, "Since this is the case, I will put these people in prison first, and then try them at a later date." ”

Qing Jue didn't want to say much, after all, the witnesses Fu Moyu and Nie Linyu had not arrived at the hall.

"You two go back first." The emperor waved away Qinglan Qingjue.

When the hall was deserted, the emperor squinted his eyes and ordered several secret guards to secretly protect the prince.
