Chapter 5 The Strategist

Half an hour later, Princess Chang Le returned to the Marquis of Dingbei's residence.

When Marquis Dingbei saw Chang Le, he asked with a smile, "Chang Le, where did you go just now?"

Princess Chang Le was about to speak when, in the next second, her blood rushed to her head, she vomited blood, and fainted...

Marquis of Dingbei: !!!

I almost forgot, he poisoned her...

He's been so busy these days that he forgot.

Moreover, he was so happy about the Prince of Ning's affair that he didn't immediately remember that he had poisoned her.

Because Prince Ning saved Chang Le time and time again, his supporters were no longer willing to support him and all left.

Therefore, Prince Ning no longer poses a threat to the Crown Prince.

He no longer needs to use Chang Le to deal with Prince Ning; Chang Le's poison should be cured...

Marquis Dingbei had Princess Changle carried to her bed in Zining Courtyard, and he sent his trusted aides to the Crown Prince's residence to fetch the antidote.

That night, the Emperor's men discovered the imperial robe in a secret passage in the Crown Prince's residence. The Emperor was furious and ordered the Crown Prince to be imprisoned...

The crown prince, who had been imprisoned, was completely bewildered. He had indeed had a secret passage built, but he had not had a dragon robe made.

Who framed him? Prince Ning or Prince Chen?

Just wait, once he gets out, neither of them will be able to escape...

On the other side, Prince Ning and Prince Chen were overjoyed, especially Prince Ning.

The crown prince was his mortal enemy, and he was naturally happy that the prince was imprisoned.

Prince Ning wanted the Crown Prince to die in prison, so that he would never have a chance to turn his life around.

That night, the crown prince was poisoned and died...

Prince Ning: !!!

He hadn't even ordered anyone to do anything yet, so how could the Crown Prince be dead?

Could it be that Prince Chen made a move? It probably is.

Just then, Prince Ning's right eyelid twitched.

Why does he feel that something bad is about to happen?

emperor:! ! !

How could he have died after just one night?

Who killed him?

He ordered an investigation, which led to the Prince of Ning.

Finally, Prince Ning was arrested and imprisoned...

Prince Ning: !!!

He wanted to send someone to kill the crown prince, but he hadn't sent anyone yet.

Who framed him?

Suddenly, he remembered someone: Prince Chen.

It must be him...

Now that the Crown Prince is gone and he's imprisoned, Prince Chen is the biggest beneficiary.

That night, Prince Ning also died, also from poisoning.

emperor:! ! !

He lost another son?

Once or twice, the people behind this simply didn't take him seriously.

He ordered another investigation, which lasted three days and three nights, and eventually led to Prince Chen.

This time, the Emperor dared not order Prince Chen to be arrested and imprisoned; he feared he would lose another prince...

However, Prince Chen also passed away that night.

He also died from poisoning, the same poison that the Crown Prince and the others were poisoned with.

Your Majesty: !!!

"Bang bang bang..." The inkstone and teacup were smashed on the ground.

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt down, pleading, "Your Majesty, please forgive us..."

The Emperor said, "Everyone, get out."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After a short while, all the palace maids and eunuchs left.

The emperor's face was gloomy.

Who is behind this?

He has people in prison, and he also has people in the Prince Chen's mansion.

He must have people in the palace too.

Who has such power and ability?

If he continues to have people investigate, will he also lose his life?

He was the emperor, and he hated threats the most.

Who is behind this...?

The Emperor had suspected many people, but he had never suspected the Imperial Advisor...
