"What do you mean, Your Highness? The things were found on you and Commander Zhang, so why are you asking me now? Could it be that Your Highness suspects that I put the east spirit on you two? But Your Highness must not forget that it was Your Highness and Commander Zhang who asked for a body search just now. I am upright and have nothing to fear, but how can a man of seven feet tall allow himself to be searched casually? That's why I refused in every possible way. I didn't expect that after discovering what I had done, Your Highness would be so angry and ashamed that he wanted to put all the blame on me. It's really ridiculous! I would like to ask Your Highness and Commander Zhang why my jade token was on you two? Could it be that you two destroyed the imperial gift like this after failing to fight for the jade token?" Chu Feiyang sneered at Jiang Muchen's accusation and asked back without hesitation. His words were sharp but reasonable, making King Chen's face even uglier, and Zhang Lan even more nervous and worried.

"Chu Feiyang, the thing is on you. With your martial arts skills, how could it be stolen so easily? If you hadn't deliberately framed the two of us, how could this thing be found? The thief is crying "stop thief", Chu Feiyang, you are too despicable!" Jiang Muchen glared at Chu Feiyang with anger in his eyes. If he hadn't been in the hall, he would have fought with Chu Feiyang long ago.

Chu Feiyang then stood up, his calm gaze meeting the anger on Prince Chen's face, but he showed no fear at all. He simply answered Prince Chen's series of questions calmly, "Since Your Highness is twisting the facts to discredit me, then Your Highness, please tell me when did I put the thing on you two? You two are both the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards and the current Prince Chen. Your martial arts skills are certainly not weak. How did I hide from your eyes and put the thing on you? Moreover, today's incident happened suddenly. Even if I had a brilliant plan, I'm afraid I couldn't predict what would happen when I met the emperor. How could I have known that you two would be so determined to search my body today and put the thing on you in advance?"

"Chu Feiyang, you..." Jiang Muchen had long understood Chu Feiyang's eloquence, but he hadn't expected Chu Feiyang to be not only eloquent but also a scoundrel. He actually pushed everything onto himself and Zhang Lan, while he himself took the blame completely without leaving any residue. For a moment, Jiang Muchen was furious and his face turned red. He growled, "It was clearly you who asked to be searched, and now you are putting the whole thing on me. What are your intentions, Chu Feiyang?"

"Hmph, what is this prince's intention? This prince would like to ask Prince Chen and Commander Zhang, what is your intention? One leads the city defense army, and the other leads the imperial guards. When your own people are in danger, not only do you not help, but you add insult to injury and wish to kill our Chu family. This prince would like to ask, what is your intention? Could it be that you are so disgusted with our Chu family?" As he spoke, Chu Feiyang instantly turned to Emperor Yugan. Ignoring his extremely ugly and dark face, he said neither servile nor arrogant, but with a hint of grief: "Your Majesty, I know that I am weak and cannot compete with Prince Chen and Commander Zhang, so I agreed to the body search. But now the facts are like this, and the ministers in the court have seen it with their own eyes, and Prince Chen has framed me like this. I hope Your Majesty will make the decision for me."

Jiang Muchen was furious when he saw Chu Feiyang start to act. He then looked at Emperor Yugan and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty..."

"Enough! Have you two had enough of making a fuss and talking enough? This is the Golden Palace, not the market. You two are personally appointed princes, but you are making a lot of noise and noise like ignorant women in the market, without any regard for your own status. Do you want to make the foreign countries laugh at Xi Chu?" However, Emperor Yu Gan had been holding back his anger for a long time. Seeing that Prince Chen, whom he disliked the most, was still trying to make trouble, Emperor Yu Gan roared loudly, staring at Jiang Muchen and Chu Feiyang with a sullen face. He wished he could ask the guards to drag the two out and beat them with dozens of boards until they shut up.

Being forcefully interrupted by Emperor Yugan, Jiang Muchen's face turned very ugly, but he had to shut up.

Chu Feiyang knelt upright in the hall, glanced at Jiang Muchen beside him indifferently, but did not speak again.

There was a hint of hostility on Emperor Yugan's tense face, and a great impatience appeared in his eyes. His fingers stared at the table in front of him. The sound of everyone's heartbeat at this moment struck heavily on everyone's heartstrings, making people nervous and scared.

Emperor Yugan looked at the two princes kneeling in the center of the hall with extreme impatience. He felt hatred in his heart, but he couldn't show it in public. The jade plaque on the dragon table was just a jade plaque, which made Emperor Yugan even more depressed and disappointed. He could only frown and speak coldly, "Prince Chu, even if the items were found on Zhang Lan and Prince Chen, it does not mean that they stole them. Perhaps someone did it intentionally, taking the opportunity to attack their opponent. Moreover, this jade plaque was bestowed upon the Chu family by the ancestor emperor, and the Chu family failed to protect the imperial gift. This is the Chu family's fault."

"I take the blame, Your Majesty! Please punish me!" Little did he know that Chu Feiyang did not even try to argue for himself, but simply accepted his mistake.

Everyone was stunned, even Emperor Yugan's expression was slightly stunned.

In just a moment, Emperor Yugan understood the intention of Chu Feiyang's move.

Chu Feiyang accepted the charge simply to prove that Prince Chen and Zhang Lan had stolen something. He was not careful and Chu Feiyang took advantage of the opportunity.

For a moment, Emperor Yugan was furious, but an emperor's words were as firm as a tripod, so how could he go back on his word? This made Emperor Yugan extremely angry, and he stared at Chu Feiyang with gloomy eyes, wishing he could gouge out Chu Feiyang's heart with his eyes to see what kind of heart he had!

Yun Xuanzhi, Qu Lingao and the others felt relieved when they saw that Chu Feiyang had handled the situation with ease, so they stopped talking to avoid angering Emperor Yugan, which would have made the situation difficult to control.

How could Prince Chen not hear the trap Chu Feiyang had set for Emperor Yugan? However, this stumbling block was very likely to cause him to be implicated by the idiot Zhang Lan. His hands hanging at his sides gradually clenched, and Prince Chen was thinking about how to put all the blame on Zhang Lan.

"Zhang Lan, what's your defense for what the King of Chu said?" To some extent, Emperor Yugan still favored his own people. He didn't give Jiang Muchen and Chu Feiyang a chance to explain, but only gave Zhang Lan the chance to speak up.

However, even if everyone was resentful, the other party was the emperor, so how could they do anything about it?

Seeing that Emperor Yugan was still willing to give him a chance to explain, Zhang Lan hurriedly spoke, "Your Majesty, I would never steal the King of Chu's jade token. Furthermore, the light was dim in the woods outside the capital at that time. I'm afraid someone took advantage of the chaos to frame me. Your Majesty, please understand and make the decision for me!"

"Since the light in the forest outside Beijing was dim, Commander Zhang was able to see Chu Qingyang's movements. This shows that Commander Zhang has a keen eye. How could he neglect other aspects because of this difficulty? Or is Commander Zhang deliberately fabricating something that doesn't exist in order to frame the Chu family?" Chu Feiyang was not someone who could be easily fooled and manipulated. He only saw a sneer on his face and followed Zhang Lan's words to raise his own questions.

Zhang Lan was slightly stunned, then realized that Chu Feiyang was accusing him of framing the current prince. His face flushed red, and he said loudly with his neck stiff, "Your Highness, I am definitely not that kind of villain. How could I do such a shameful thing? I am just telling the truth. Why is Your Highness so aggressive?"

"I am only expressing my own thoughts. Why should Commander Zhang be so angry? The Emperor will make the final decision on everything. We just need to express our doubts, right, Commander Zhang?" Chu Feiyang raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and spoke in a very calm voice before stopping.

Zhang Lan was furious and turned to Emperor Yugan with a look of help in his eyes, but he saw that Emperor Yugan had a gloomy face and exuded a sinister aura, which made people feel afraid. Zhang Lan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"You two are arguing with each other, but neither of you can produce any evidence to prove your innocence, and you are even making noise and quarreling in the hall. This is actually a violation of the etiquette of Beijing officials! Prince Chen, Prince Chu, and Zhang Lan will be fined half a year's salary. Chu Pei, Chu Qingyang, Chu Jie and others will maintain the original verdict. All of you should kneel down and pay your respects." After speaking, Emperor Yugan stood up and no longer paid attention to the ministers of his palace. He led Eunuch Yu and others back to the study.

"I obey your command!" Zhang Lan shouted, accepting the Emperor Yugan's punishment. He breathed a sigh of relief, yet secretly felt annoyed. He knew that if the Emperor hadn't been protecting him, he would have severely punished Prince Chen and Prince Chu today. However, Prince Chu had been cunning and had gotten himself involved in the Chu family's affairs. If the Emperor wanted the entire court to be convinced, he had no choice but to punish all three.

Jiang Muchen stood up with a frosty face, pursed his lips tightly, and stared at the receding figure of Emperor Yugan with his icy eyes. The veins on his hands hidden in his sleeves had already bulged out. Without saying a word, he suddenly swung his sleeves, turned around and strode out of the hall with a cold air.

"Your Highness!" A young eunuch returned the jade token and tassel to Chu Feiyang.

Chu Feiyang reached out to take the two things, weighed them gently in his hands, his thoughts were no longer on what happened tonight, but it was Emperor Yugan's behavior just now that caught Chu Feiyang's attention. He pressed the pattern of the jade token lightly with his fingertips, and slowly slid along the flying dragon on it to the tail end. An unfathomable smile appeared on Chu Feiyang's face.

"I won't leave..." Chu Qingyang started to make a fuss. After tossing and turning for a whole night, not only did his crime not get mitigated, but he even lost the gold medal in his hand. Chu Qingyang was furious and wanted to rush forward and grab Chu Feiyang's clothes.

Chu Pei looked at the noisy Chu Qingyang and said coldly, "Don't you think it's shameful enough? If it weren't for you, why would your brother be fined half a year's salary for no reason?"

"Let's talk outside!" Chu Feiyang glanced at the eunuchs cleaning the hall, spoke to Chu Pei calmly, and then walked out of the hall first.

Qu Changqing personally escorted Chu Pei, Chu Qingyang and others out of the palace, and asked them to get on the carriage of the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion. They were first sent back to the Ministry of Justice prison, and then someone would be sent to send them out of the city early the next morning.

"Chu Feiyang, it's you, it must be you! It was you who stole my gold medal, right?" Inside the carriage, Chu Qingyang was pinned down by two guards, who were staring at Chu Feiyang with extremely ferocious expressions, as if they wanted to eat Chu Feiyang.

"Is this it?" Chu Feiyang curled his lips and smiled, and took out a whole golden medal in the blink of an eye. He played with it on his fingertips, and his slender fingers lightly flipped the heavy gold medal, as if he was completely unaware of the power represented by this gold medal.

Chu Qingyang saw that Chu Feiyang not only pieced together a whole piece of gold medal, but also played with the gold medal that he regarded as a treasure without any seriousness. His starry eyes had already turned red with anxiety. He suddenly stood up and rushed forward to snatch the gold medal from Chu Feiyang's hands.

But there were two guards sitting next to him. How could they let him touch Chu Feiyang so easily?

Chu Qingyang's eyes turned red with anger. He yelled at Chu Feiyang at the top of his voice, "Villain! Chu Feiyang, you villain, this gold medal is mine. What right do you, a villain, have to touch it? Give it back to me, it's mine, give it back to me now!"

As he spoke, Chu Qingyang tried to get up without giving up, desperately trying to hook Chu Feiyang's body with both hands to take back the gold medal...

Chu Pei saw that Chu Feiyang had not only taken the half of the gold medal hidden on Qingyang, but also unknowingly took the half of his own gold medal. He felt a sense of loss in his heart, but he also truly witnessed Chu Feiyang's ability. Chu Pei was silent, his face showing a trace of loneliness and fatigue...

Chu Feiyang winked at the two guards, and they understood and let go of their hands that were holding Chu Qingyang. They nodded slightly to Chu Feiyang and then quickly got out of the carriage.

"Give it back to me..." Without being restrained by others, Chu Qingyang immediately stood up and rushed towards Chu Feiyang. The fierce light in his eyes was frightening. The expression on his face was extremely distorted and the hideous look was really ugly.

Chu Feiyang dodged Chu Qingyang's attack with an easy sideways movement and sneered, "Just with you, you think you can compete with me for everything?"

Chu Qingyang was furious when he heard this. His eyes were filled with cruelty. He approached Chu Feiyang step by step and said gloomily, "None of your business. Give me the gold medal, or don't blame me for being rude."

As he spoke, Chu Qingyang's gaze had already passed over Chu Feiyang's body, looking at the night scene that flashed rapidly outside the flying curtain. If he fell from the speeding carriage, he would be crippled if not dead. And this was what Chu Qingyang had in mind at this moment. He would not allow Chu Feiyang to die. He wanted Chu Feiyang to live like a ghost, let Chu Feiyang watch him ascend to the unreachable throne, and let Chu Feiyang regret going against him!

Chu Pei realized Chu Qingyang's actions, and seeing that Chu Feiyang was only concerned about the gold medal in his hand, his heart suddenly lifted up, and he hurriedly reminded Chu Feiyang: "Feiyang, be careful behind you."

Chu Pei's words made Chu Feiyang stunned for a moment. He turned his gaze from Chu Qingyang to Chu Pei, looking indifferently at the nervous Chu Pei.

Seeing the opportunity, Chu Qingyang took a step forward and reached out to snatch the gold medal from Chu Feiyang's hand...

Unexpectedly, Chu Feiyang had already expected him to do this. The gold medal in his hand instantly slipped into his sleeve. He quickly grabbed the door with his right hand and suddenly got out of the carriage. His whole body was actually upside down on the roof!

Chu Qingyang missed, and without warning, his entire body fell straight out of the car...
