Chapter 595 Do You Think I'm Blind? (1 update)

Pei Ruqing is still quite capable.

He took people to the East Palace, but only got the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was vomiting blood and unconscious, and did not see the eldest prince.

Pei Ruqing was about to leave and look for someone somewhere else, when he vaguely saw a figure flying on the roof and heading out of the palace. He subconsciously chased after it.

However, he lost track of the person when he chased to a dark alley, so he spent some effort to find him.

When the runners from the yamen rushed over, Pei Ruqing finally checked the innermost courtyard.

"Sir, if the other party is really the eldest prince, should the brothers hold back?" asked with some confusion.

"You and I are both following orders, and if the other party is really the eldest prince, with our three-legged cat skills, we may have to ask him to hold back if we want to take him down."

Pei Ruqing was helpless.

At this moment, there was a clang, and a palm wind opened the courtyard door. Along with the palm wind, a strong smell of blood also drifted out.

"Lord Pei is quite self-aware." The eldest prince sneered.

The courtyard was full of fallen corpses. Pei Ruqing never thought that he would encounter such a scene.

"Are the people you brought with you okay?" asked the eldest prince.

Pei Ruqing came back to his senses. He bowed and saluted, "These officers are all from the Ministry of Justice, there is no problem."

"That's good, detain these two people secretly and hand them over to father, but don't let them die. The one who fainted might be Chen Chu's master. However, you need to verify this."

The eldest prince immediately threw the two difficult prisoners out.

Hearing that the other party might be Chen Chu's master, Pei Ruqing immediately became serious, "Yes! I will definitely investigate this matter and clear the eldest prince's name." The

eldest prince glanced at him, "No need, I am innocent, and my sixth brother has never believed Chen Chu's testimony. As for father-"

Forget it, it's too bad. I don't want to mention this person. It's a spoiler!

Pei Ruqing was still waiting for the next words, but he saw that the eldest prince had no interest in continuing.

The young prince looked at the sky. If he went back quickly, he could still make it in time for lunch.

He yawned and leaned against the eldest prince. He felt a little sleepy and wanted to sleep.

During this period, he basically took a nap after taking a medicinal bath. Today, he came to arrest people and did not sleep. Now he felt a little sleepy.

The eldest prince thought he was tired and reached out to support him. "Let's go back first."

The young prince yawned again. When passing by Pei Ruqing, he casually said, "Check the yard carefully. This should be one of their long-term bases. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

Pei Ruqing blinked hard, "Your Highness... Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

The Minister of Justice, who was always known for his coldness and calmness, could not help but be stunned at this time.

Shouldn't the prince be in the East Palace?

Didn't he vomit blood and faint?

The little prince yawned again, his eyes were indifferent, and he started talking nonsense, "You recognized the wrong person."

Pei Ruqing: "???"

No, am I blind?

Your Highness, even if you want to perfunctory, you have to find a similar excuse, right?

Pei Ruqing was helpless, but thinking about the emperor, he felt that he could do it.

After all, even the emperor was kept in the dark and frightened for these days. As a minister, he was just perfunctorily treated, which was completely acceptable.

Sure enough, good moods all need contrast.

Pei Ruqing was a little schadenfreude.

I wonder how the emperor, who learned the truth at this moment, feels?

Lu Chengtian said that he was in a very bad mood.

God knows how he felt when he learned that the prince vomited blood and fainted!

He left behind a group of ministers and rushed to the East Palace immediately. Who knew that the eunuchs and maids of the East Palace were kneeling on the ground, the palace soldiers were strictly guarding all the exits, and searching one courtyard after another.

It seemed very organized, orderly, and very logical.

However, Lu Chengtian felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, when he walked into the prince's bedroom and passed through the curtains, he found that the bedroom was empty.

Where is his prince who is so old?

Where is the unlucky son who always sets traps for him and gives him difficult problems?

Didn't he say that he vomited blood and fainted?

Why is there no one?

At that moment, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks emerged in Lu Chengtian's mind.

Could it be that a thief took the opportunity to kidnap the prince?

This shouldn't be the case. The East Palace is heavily guarded. Even if someone with great martial arts skills can enter at will, it is not that easy to take a living person out quietly.

Finally, Fulu crawled into the bedroom. Before Lu Chengtian could ask, Fulu was already crying.

"Your Majesty, you must make a decision for the Crown Prince! The Crown Prince was originally very ill. Finally, under the care of Jiang Yuanzheng, he got a little better. But some villains couldn't bear to see the Crown Prince get better, so they poisoned him!!"

Lu Chengtian's pupils shrank slightly. This was news he had never heard of. "Poisoning? The Crown Prince vomited blood and fainted because of poisoning?"

"Your Majesty, yes! Dean Jiang said that the other party was very careful. The poison was put in the medicine that the prince used every day. The dosage was very small. If a normal person was infected, he would just be depressed for a few days and recover without medicine after a few days of rest. However, the prince is already in poor health. How could his body withstand the poison?"

Fulu cried so sadly, "Fortunately, Dean Jiang was there. He discovered the problem at the first time and gave acupuncture to save the prince in time. Otherwise, the prince might have..."

He did not continue, but Lu Chengtian already understood what he meant.

"The other party was so bold that they dared to poison the Eastern Palace! They are really daring! Where is the prince now? How is his health?"

"Your Majesty, the prince believes that the Eastern Palace is no longer safe. He dares not stay in the Eastern Palace and let thieves take advantage of the situation. So he went to the private house outside the palace to recuperate. Jiang Yuanzheng is accompanying him and the eldest prince is escorting him. Your Majesty can rest assured."

Although Fulu cried in grievance, she had not forgotten to explain or answer any questions, and she did everything clearly.

"Big brother is with you?" Lu Chengtian frowned. He had just ordered the siege of Big brother's residence, and he ran out now?

Thinking of Lu Liang's confession, Lu Chengtian was very uneasy.

Fulu immediately explained, "The eldest prince has been worried about the health of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in good spirits, so the eldest prince did not return home and kept chatting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"When the accident happened this morning, it was fortunate that the eldest prince was there, otherwise, the palace would be in chaos and something might have really happened."

Lu Chengtian looked at Fulu deeply. If he hadn't known that this person was the one left by the late emperor for the unlucky son, after hearing these words, he would have thought that Fulu was Big brother's man.

Fulu was also frightened by the sight. The Crown Prince had guessed it right. The Emperor really suspected the eldest prince!
