Prince Chen smiled and poured a cup of tea for Prince Su.
Prince Su stared at him for a moment without touching the cup of tea. Prince Chen didn't care either and still had a smile on his face.
Prince Su lowered his eyes and looked at the tea leaves sinking in the teacup. He couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive. This royal brother was just like Imperial Concubine Wan. He appeared to be kind and harmless in front of the Emperor. But now he was in a high position and his former enemies had all turned into piles of bones. He knew how hypocritical human hearts were.
"Are you sure we won't be implicated?"
Falsifying the imperial edict and assassinating the prince, these two things are both major events suspected of treason. Even if the two are princes now, there is no guarantee that they will be safe.
"When the Third Emperor is dead or alive, the evidence of his conspiracy will be publicized. His achievements will be covered up by the "evidence" and people will think that everything he did was to seize power and usurp the throne. The Third Emperor will have died a worthy death. We were chased by the Third Emperor and were forced to fight back. We just happened to get the chance to kill the Third Emperor and snatch the tiger talisman." Prince Chen's expression was indifferent, and he continued, "When the Emperor saw us presenting the tiger talisman and heard the news of the Third Emperor's death, even if he had doubts, he would handle it with care. After all, the Emperor wanted the Third Emperor to die more than we did."
Prince Su's face twitched slightly. These arrangements were basically prepared by Prince Chen. He just contributed some manpower. For a moment, he suddenly felt that he was not worthy of competing for the throne.
Here, Wu Zhao led two teams to Chenzhou. When they were about to pass through a small path between two mountains, Wu Zhao divided the team into two groups and quietly killed the enemy who was ambushing on the side of the mountain.
"What's going on?" The team that came to wipe out the root of the problem found that the path was empty, and the team that was supposed to have been ambushed by the War King was missing.
The leader seemed to react and shouted: "Everyone, get out of here quickly!!"
Unfortunately it's too late.
As Wu Zhao ignited the flames, the two teams stood on the side of the mountain and attacked the soldiers. Countless arrows fell down, and with a miserable scream, many people fell down. Then huge rocks rolled down one after another, and those who were still alive were almost crushed to death and lost their breath.
"Why bother setting up an ambush? These are all leftovers from the border." Wu Zhao looked at the corpses on the ground with disdain. He searched the bodies of the leading men and finally found a letter.
The letter was probably sent by Yuan Zhan to the soldiers stationed at the gates of the capital, persuading them to rebel. His words sounded very convincing, and he also said that they should kill Prince Su and Prince Chen first, so that the emperor would have no choice but to choose himself as the heir.
His handwriting is 70% similar to Yuan Zhan's. It is likely that someone had secretly trained to imitate Yuan Zhan's handwriting and then wrote the letter of treason. The imperial edict from Yuan Zhan to Chenzhou is most likely fake. Chenzhou is about ten kilometers south of the capital, and that direction is the closest entrance to the imperial palace.
Yuan Zhan probably had no way of defending himself as he had arbitrarily changed his route back to Beijing and had irrefutable evidence of treason.
"The people in the capital are so sinister. They do all these fancy things and are only good at bullying others." Wu Zhao cursed as he disposed of the bodies and destroyed all the so-called evidence.
Before Prince Su and Prince Chen could return to the state, the team led by Yuan Zhan had already sneaked into the villa and captured the two.
Prince Su said in doubt: "Yuan Zhan, what do you want to do? Do you want to harm your brothers?"
Yuan Zhan chuckled, his eyes sharp, and he said: "You two are here, aren't you planning the same thing? As for your lives, it depends on whether the emperor is willing to spare them."
Prince Su felt that Yuan Zhan was too murderous and took a few steps back. He was kicked down by the soldiers and tied up. During this time, Prince Chen remained silent, as if he knew that everything was in vain.
After the matter was settled, Yuan Zhan led his troops to garrison outside the capital. The emperor heard that Prince Su and Prince Chen were missing and Yuan Zhan had not returned yet, so he was shocked and angry and brought Tu Yufan over.
"Why doesn't Yuan Zhan return to the capital? Did he kill Prince Su and Prince Chen? How did you educate him? After all, he was born into a merchant family and raised a treacherous and treacherous person." The emperor pointed at Tu Yufan and scolded him.
Tu Yufan thought to himself, can you blame me for this? He was shot even when he was lying down. Yuan Zhan was much more merciful than in the original plot. It was all thanks to his hard work.
If the emperor had died long ago, there would be no chance for him to point at me and curse me.
