In the past few days, Fan Cheng, the chief butler of Prince Ding's Mansion, has been a little restless, and even the people in the entire palace have been panicked, and they don't dare to take an extra breath of the atmosphere.

There has just been a murder case in the palace, and the one who died was a palace guard who was not weak in kung fu. This was like throwing a boulder on the surface of a tranquil lake, which plunged the palace into a panic.

Although guards were added to the palace afterwards, and more mysterious characters were hidden around Prince Ding, this made those people who did not know the inside story feel an inexplicable fear.

If it is true, as the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion who is responsible for investigating the case said, that guard was killed by a Jianghu figure who intended to steal, then it is enough to send more guards in the mansion, why send so many masters who are not weak in kung fu to secretly protect the prince?

Therefore, although the Jingzhao Mansion characterized this case as an ordinary criminal case of attempted theft followed by murder, the people in the palace had their own opinions.

They believed that the target of the assailant must have been the prince who was resting in the dormitory at the time, but because the guard discovered it in time and exposed Xingzang, he killed the guard and fled in a hurry.

When you think about it this way, the origin of the murderer is very terrifying.

How dare to break into the dignified Prince Ding's mansion in broad daylight with the intention of assassinating the Prince Regent of Dayu, how could an ordinary thief do it?

And the most worrying thing is that since the assassin attempted this time, there will be a next one. And when the next assassination happens, which unlucky ghost in the house will be bumped into?

It is precisely because they all have the same idea that the people in the house began to endanger themselves.

During the day, they all looked for all kinds of excuses to keep as far away as possible from the prince who might bring disaster to them.

And in the evening, they slipped back to the subordinate room one by one, resolutely not approaching the prince's study and dormitory.

Seeing this kind of cowardice of the people in the house, the chief manager Fan Cheng secretly despised and disdained him, but he had a deeper fear in his heart than them.

Because he's the only one who knows the truth.

The palace guard who was killed was not a real guard at all, but like him, he was sent by Gonggong Zheng to spy on this supposed prince's inner secret agent.

And Fan Cheng also knew that the murderer was not an assassination attempt, but he didn't really want to do it in the first place.

After killing the guard, the murderer calmly entered the prince's bedroom, and left a letter next to the sleeping fake prince's pillow.

After the fake prince woke up, he found the letter. As a result, when he saw it, he panicked, and ran into the palace to cry to the emperor with a flattering face.

What kind of burglary, what kind of assassination attempt, is simply a dismount from the real prince to the fake prince, and even a murder warning!

It seems that the real Prince Ding, Haoxing Xiaoyu, is going to come back to settle accounts with his imperial brother.

And the first to suffer from the disaster of the pond fish must be these little minions who do things for the emperor.

The fake guard has been the first substitute, and who will be next?

Is it him, the fake housekeeper Fan Cheng, who is getting into the mix, or the more beautiful fake prince Li Jin?

Fan Cheng pondered for a long time, but still felt that he was more likely to be the next target.

After all, in the emperor's mind, the fake prince still has some use value, which can monitor the courtiers for him and check and balance the forces of all parties.

And his fake butler, at best, can pass some news to this fake prince for Gonggong Zheng, and he has long lost his original role as a secret agent.

Because it is obvious that now the emperor and Gonggong Zheng's trust in the fake prince has long exceeded the trust in him, a little secret agent, and there is no need for him to conduct any surveillance on the fake prince at all.

At present, it seems that his existence is already dispensable, and it will not be placed in the hearts of those nobles at all.

In fact, this point is self-evident.

Moreover, it can be seen clearly from the fact that Gonggong Zheng actually sent so many masters to protect the fake prince, but ignored his fake housekeeper.

At this time, sitting in his West Wing, which was unusually hot and stuffy by the afternoon sun, while drinking the bowl of iced sour plum soup that the fake prince had just given him, the fake housekeeper Fan Cheng's heart was still bubbling with sour water-

A little person is a small person, and he can only survive by the snort of the superior at any time. Although some leftovers can sometimes be shared, when they become useless, they are discarded mercilessly.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, the chief steward of the palace who was in the midst of self-pity gradually lost consciousness......

When Fan Cheng came to his senses, he found himself sitting in the prince's study, and the prince was also sitting behind the bookcase and looking at him with a smile.

He was just about to stand up in a little panic, but he felt his legs go limp, and he collapsed in the chair under him.

At this time, I heard the prince speak: "The power of the medicine has not passed, you better sit and don't move first." ”

Fan Cheng's face turned pale with fright, although he couldn't figure out what was going on, he knew that his life would not be saved.

"Lord Wang...... I...... I really haven't done anything to be sorry for you......"

Hearing Fan Cheng stammering out such a sentence, Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but smile leisurely, shook his head and said, "I'm not really the prince, so why care if you have done something sorry for that prince?"

Fan Cheng was stunned, blinked his eyes and looked at the fake prince in front of him, not daring to speak again.

Haoxing Mingrui saw that he knew the opportunity so well, and he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, this Fan Cheng is also a talent.

Knowing that his identity had been discovered and that he was in an unpredictable danger, although he couldn't help but be afraid, he was able to keep a clear head and take a more sensible way to deal with it.

- That's a lot of money.

And this is the main reason why Haoxing Mingrui is interested in Fan Cheng.

Determined to get rid of Zheng Yong's traitorous eunuch, and at the same time deal with the fake rebellion planned by the emperor and Zheng Yong, Haoxing Mingrui began to plan again and was ready to put it into action as soon as possible.

And in this action he planned, there was an extremely key person, and that was Fan Cheng, the great steward of his palace.

This inner secret agent hidden in Prince Ding's mansion has not been able to make achievements over the years, so in Zheng Yong's eyes, he has gradually lost the value of existence.

With Fan Cheng's shrewdness, he must have already noticed this sign.

However, he did not show any uneasiness about this, but became more energetic to be the chief steward of his palace, and managed the entire palace in an orderly manner.

Haoxing Mingrui, who knows Fan Cheng's every move well, can't help but be very interested in this Ouchi secret agent who is completely unprofessional but obsessed with the role he plays.

Although the emperor and Zheng Yong no longer have any suspicions about him, the fake prince, they definitely can't talk about trust.

In fact, no one would really trust a villain who forgets his righteousness and is greedy for life and afraid of death.

As early as a year ago, Zheng Yong canceled Fan Cheng's regular secret reports on the fake prince's daily movements.

This is also the reason why he, the chief administrator of the Great Interior, did not know about Song Xingye's visit to Prince Ding last time, and also caused the emperor's dissatisfaction.

However, this time, the emperor and Zheng Yong jointly set a plan to use the fake prince to lure the real prince into the bait. Then, they naturally have to resume the full monitoring of this fake prince who is responsible for luring the enemy.

This move does contain a certain meaning of protection, but the main purpose is to prevent this false prince from retreating from the battle, and even making a betrayal and defection to the enemy, thus completely ruining their major affairs.

Since he wants to start monitoring the fake prince's every move again, the role of Fan Cheng, a ready-made secret agent, is very important again.

Because the emperor and Zheng Yong both thought that Haoxing Mingrui did not know Fan Cheng's true identity.

Moreover, the two of them have been together for more than ten years, and the fake prince should already have a lot of trust in this big butler, and he will no longer be too wary. This made it even more convenient for Fan Cheng to completely put this fake prince under his own surveillance.

It is precisely because Fan Cheng suddenly became very important in the eyes of the emperor and Zheng Yong, so he became even more important in the eyes of Haoxing Mingrui.

Even, this palace steward was fortunate to be a key figure in his next plan.
