Chapter 225 Questioning
"How is this possible? How is this possible? Lord Lu will actually let me go?" Yuan Ming muttered to himself in despair.
He couldn't believe it and wanted to go back and ask to see Lu Chenyang again. But he no longer had the courage to do so and just wandered outside the inn.
When Yan Xing came out, he saw him standing beside him, looking sneaky.
Yan Xing frowned and asked the guard next to him: "Who is this?"
The guard immediately saluted and said, "The scholar who came to see you today seems to have offended you before." This was not a secret, nor a big deal, so the guard told him.
Yan Xing's face was filled with displeasure. "Then why are you still keeping them? Send them away immediately, and pay more attention to protecting the adults. Have you forgotten about using children as assassins?"
The guard was alert and nodded immediately: "Yes! I will chase him away right away."
Two guards immediately grabbed Yuan Ming and threw him not far away without saying a word.
Yuan Ming was filled with fear. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. How could Lu Chenyang let him go?
He was very nervous.
Yan Xing went to the Prince's residence, wanting to talk to him about finding someone. However, the Prince was not in the residence, saying that he had gone to the palace, so Yan Xing left and returned to the residence first.
Emperor Qianyuan summoned the prince into the palace temporarily because Lu Chenyang submitted a memorial impeaching County Magistrate Li.
Lu Chenyang was assassinated under Magistrate Li's jurisdiction, and the assassin was a commoner under his rule. A young girl disguised herself as an assassin to kill Lu Chenyang, and Magistrate Li was in no way implicated in this matter.
But everyone knew what was going on with this assassin. Lu Chenyang's impeachment of County Magistrate Li was fake, and his real intention was to disgust him.
No matter how Emperor Qianyuan handled the situation, it was not right, so he called his son in and threw this difficult problem to him.
Emperor Qianyuan said, "Go and investigate this matter, and then give Lu Chenyang an explanation."
As for how to explain it, that is the prince's business.
The prince: “…”
He often felt that it would be better for the prince not to do the job.
The prince responded respectfully, "Yes, Father."
Emperor Qianyuan looked up at him and asked curiously, "Are you going to resolve this matter?"
He couldn't figure it out and felt annoyed, so he threw it to the prince.
But he also wanted to know how the prince would solve it.
The Crown Prince looked embarrassed. He looked at Emperor Qianyuan ingratiatingly and said, "I can't think of a good solution at the moment. I hope your Majesty can give me some advice."
Emperor Qianyuan snorted coldly, "Useless thing! If I could handle it for you, what would you do as Crown Prince? You will be handling state affairs on your own in the future. If you keep running out of ideas, you can quit being Crown Prince."
Emperor Qianyuan did not hesitate to use harsh words.
The prince nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is very true. I will go back and find a solution right away."
The prince was troubled by Emperor Qianyuan in the palace, and his expression was normal, but as soon as he left the palace, he chuckled.
Emperor Qianyuan had to clean up the mess because of the sins he committed.
After Lu Chenyang learned about this, he smiled, and then sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to inquire about the progress.
"What about Magistrate Li? Has the assassin been apprehended? Someone is trying to kill me. The Crown Prince must give me an explanation."
"Also, where's my sister? Is there any news about the prince?"
The prince was annoyed by Lu Chenyang, and Yan Xing was also coming to join in the fun, so he asked him to be more careful when looking for someone.
Emperor Qianyuan also joined in the fun and sent people to inquire about the progress.
The prince felt caught in a dilemma, stuck in the middle and in agony. He wished he could be free from the hassle of being a prince.
One day, Yan Xing came again: "Do you know Chen Yang's sister? If she is really with you, you should hand her over immediately." He thought for a moment and said, "Given her current status, even if you like her, marrying her properly will make your relationship with Chen Yang closer. Why do you have to hide her?"
Yan Xing returned and thought about it. Since Lu Chenyang had smelled the medicinal fragrance, he must have been sure. Although the prince might have obtained the medicine from somewhere else, it at least showed that he had had contact with Miss Lu.
The prince frowned. "Cheng Xiao, do you only believe Lu Chenyang's words now? We are brothers, yet you don't believe me! Do you think I'm the kind of person who would steal a woman for money?"
This time, the prince didn't even care about calling himself "Gu", which shows that he was really sad.
