Chapter 157: All 800 people have their own minds! Plus the fifth prince - 1
He Zhaojun lowered her head. She had made up this lie. Wouldn't it be possible for rumors about the Fifth Prince to spread in the palace tomorrow, saying that men in black had kidnapped him here and were planning to do something indecent?
Emperor Wen also felt that this matter was suspicious. The Third Princess couldn't hold it in any longer. "Why did that man bring Wu Lang here? What wrong did he do? I'm afraid it's just an excuse to cover up the ridiculous things going on between you and Wu Lang?!"
Originally, this was the setup by her. She had intended to make the Fifth Prince and He Zhaojun look disgraceful in front of the Emperor and Empress. She had made all the plans, but she had never expected that He Zhaojun would fabricate a non-existent assassin.
Once it becomes a security issue in the palace, it is no longer something that a girl like her can intervene in. Now the Third Princess hopes more than anyone else that nothing can be found out about this matter.
If His Majesty were to investigate, it would be easy to uncover her actions. Furthermore, she was the one who found an excuse to bring people here today, making her the most suspicious.
He Zhaojun clutched her wound. "Third Princess, what you said is quite interesting. I am about to marry His Majesty the Third Prince. This is the blessing I have cultivated for several lifetimes. To have such a talented and handsome husband, why would I risk a secret meeting with the Fifth Prince now?"
The Third Princess was furious and stammered, "Then how could you know that you and he had no connection, even if you risked your life to protect him? After all, it was Wu Lang who you originally wanted to ask the Emperor to grant you a marriage with in the palace that day!"
"He is the Third Prince's brother. The Third Prince always thinks of brotherhood and takes care of him. I will be the Fifth Prince's sister-in-law in the future. I have a clear conscience for protecting his life!"
He Zhaojun gestured to Doctor Sun to help the man up. "The Fifth Prince knew he had been ambushed. To avoid losing control and hurting me, he willingly banged his head against the ground to stay conscious. Look at his forehead."
Doctor Sun helped the man up, and Emperor Wen saw that the fifth prince had a big bump on his forehead, which was obviously caused by hitting the ground hard, which further confirmed what He Zhaojun said.
Everyone lowered their heads. Speaking of which, the Fifth Prince's scheming and ambition were completely different from the Third Prince's. He Zhaojun must have lost her mind to have given up her position as the Third Prince's consort and engaged in an affair with the Fifth Prince.
Moreover, they had always looked down on the Fifth Prince, but they had never expected that the Third Prince would actually take extra care of his incompetent brother. Even the future Third Prince's wife was aware of this.
"My son is great. Hurry, carry the man back and let him have a good rest and take good care of him." Although Emperor Wen did not like his son, he was impressed by his behavior. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he was very pleased.
The Crown Princess stood aside and watched the show. After all, she knew about this matter and had personally sent people to lure He Zhaojun here. At this time, Sun Shengcai of the Imperial Guard arrived and knelt in a row outside the door.
"I am late in protecting you... Please punish me, Your Majesty." Sun Sheng was sweating profusely from running, and even the tassel of his helmet was crooked.
Emperor Wen was furious when he saw the Imperial Guards. "Look at these Imperial Guards, each one fat and big-eared. They're out of breath after running a few steps. If you were here to protect me, I would have been assassinated a thousand times!"
He glanced at Concubine Yue and winked. It was simple. Both of them were experienced people. How could they not know that something was fishy about today's events? The so-called black-clad assassin was most likely a figment of He Zhaojun's imagination.
But looking at the appearance of the Third Princess, it is clear that she is also involved in this matter. If we follow the clues without the assassin, we will definitely uncover the ugly things she has done.
Today, this assassin must be there whether he exists or not!
