Chapter 1869: Soul Returning Worm

” Besides, the mastermind is impersonating our father and using the five brothers of the Hu family to frame the princess of the Guguo. The case is extremely serious. This is no longer a simple case of framing the princess of the Guguo. It concerns the safety of the Yuwen family and the Longyan Dynasty. Only this a.s.sa.s.sin knew who the mastermind was. Therefore, this case must be personally investigated by Imperial Father!”

At this point, he paused for a moment, and his expression became puzzled and suspicious again.” Hong ‘er, you look so anxious and fl.u.s.tered. Could it be that you know who is behind this?”

Yuwen Xuhong’s heart tightened when he heard Yuwen Yanyu’s question. His face turned pale, and fear and uneasiness appeared on his face. He also had a guilty expression.

Yuwen Xuhong was trying to control his emotions. Just as he opened his mouth to defend himself, Prince Ping suddenly said sternly,” Your Highness, we were ordered to investigate whether the princess of Guguo had embezzled the wages of the workers. How could it be so serious about the Yuwen family? Why do we have to bring this matter to the Emperor? What the emperor needs is the result of this case.”

Yuwen Yanyu was not sure if Prince Ping was targeting Lin Yuelan or if he was working with the eldest grandson to target him earlier.

Now, he was certain that Prince Ping was supporting the eldest grandson.

He heard from his mother that Prince Ping and the former Crown Prince were about the same age. They had been together since they were young and had a deep relationship.

It was said that when the former crown prince and the former crown prince consort pa.s.sed away, Prince Ping locked himself in his study and did not eat or drink for three days and three nights. When he came out, his two sideburns had already turned white.

Before he, the Crown Prince, was conferred the t.i.tle of Crown Prince, Prince Ping had strongly opposed it. He said that according to the ancestral rules, the one who should be conferred the t.i.tle of Crown Prince was the eldest son of the previous Crown Prince, Yuwen Xuhong.

However, his father still insisted on making him the Crown Prince.

Therefore, he was very sure that he was part of the mastermind behind this.

However, there was no evidence yet.

At the thought of this, the Crown Prince said sternly,” Seventh Imperial Uncle, someone made a fake jade pendant that represents Imperial Father’s ident.i.ty and instructed the five brothers of the Hu family to frame Princess Gu. This is no longer a case of Princess Gu deducting workers’ wages. Seventh Imperial Uncle, please understand the seriousness of this matter!”

At this point, he looked sharply at Prince Ping and said in a sharp tone,” Perhaps Seventh Imperial Uncle thinks that using a fake jade pendant to impersonate someone is just a small case?”

When Prince Ping heard the last sentence, his pupils constricted, and then his eyes widened. His expression was one of shock.

The corners of his mouth trembled as he said,” Crown Prince, please be careful with your words! Seventh Imperial Uncle did not have such intentions!”

The Crown Prince continued to ask,” Then Seventh Imperial Uncle has agreed to bring this a.s.sa.s.sin to Imperial Father for interrogation?”

When Prince Ping heard this, his face turned ashen. He suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth,” Since the Crown Prince and Princess Guguo have already made a decision, how could I object?”

With that, he flung his sleeves and sat back down angrily.

Then, the Crown Prince asked sharply,” Hong-er, do you have any other opinions?”

At this point, no one could object.

The eldest grandson’s expression was ugly as he gritted his teeth and said,” Imperial Uncle, Hong-er has no objections!”

After saying that, he glared at Lin Yuelan, who was calm and composed, and then walked back to his seat.

The a.s.sa.s.sin felt more and more uneasy. He stared at Lin Yuelan with fear in his eyes as if Lin Yuelan was a demon.

Under Jiang Zhennan’s control, she struggled and kept saying,” I don’t know anything. You can kill me or cut me up. I don’t know anything.”

Lin Yuelan sneered and said,” It doesn’t matter whether you know or not. As long as we send you to His Majesty and feed you a real truth pill, we’ll know whether you really don’t know or pretend not to know!”

The a.s.sa.s.sin’s pupils constricted. His struggle became more and more intense.

Although he was a powerful warrior of sacrifice under someone, he had no power to resist Jiang Zhennan. His struggle was in vain.
