Chapter 303: Entering the Palace Again
Fan Jingrui and Feng Yan held their foreheads helplessly, their brows tightly furrowed, full of worry, and their minds were spinning like a rapidly spinning top!
Unfortunately, the two of them really couldn't figure out what kind of strange and incredible ideas were in Chu Ci's imaginative mind.
So, they could only watch Chu Ci excitedly pull Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng to gossip as if he had found his organization.
"Are you helping us so much because you have never been affected by those mysterious forces?"
Mysterious power? What mysterious power?
Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng exchanged a glance. Just as they were about to inquire about the so-called mysterious power, Chu Ci dropped another bombshell: "Have you always been able to sense that something is amiss with the King of Qi?"
They had indeed noticed early on that the King of Qi was not as upright and honest as he appeared to be, but they never expected that he was actually involved in the framing of the Crown Prince!
Fortunately, Chu Ci did not have the ability to read minds. If she did, she would tell them without hesitation what it meant that the King of Qi had a share. It was simply the King of Qi who was in control, okay?
The role played by the King of Qi was not just a simple participant. He was the mastermind behind the scenes, and all the conspiracies and intrigues were carefully planned by him.
Chu Ci didn't know what Prince Li and the others were thinking. At this moment, she was immersed in her own thoughts.
Prince Li and the other prince, who were lost in thought, did not notice Chu Ci's unusual behavior.
Their thoughts drifted to the emperor's unusual behavior in recent years.
At this moment, the two of them felt cold all over, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. A biting chill went from the soles of their feet straight to their hearts, as if they were frozen whole.
The two men ignored everything else and looked extremely anxious. They immediately grabbed Chu Ci and asked, "Has that mysterious power completely disappeared now? Or are there still remnants lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike?"
The two men fully expected Chu Ci to give them a definitive answer, their eyes filled with eager anticipation. Unexpectedly, Chu Ci simply shook his head. "I admit I'm quite powerful, capable of suppressing so many demons and monsters with my own luck. But I'm not an omnipotent deity, nor do I have the ability to predict the future!"
These words almost choked the two of them! "You...you..."
At this moment, Prince Li finally deeply understood the frustration and helplessness that the emperor felt when he faced Chu Ci.
But judging from what Chu Ci said, it seems that all the corrupt officials who were caught in the past two days were due to Chu Ci's contribution.
No matter how arrogant Prince Li was, he could not do anything excessive at this moment towards someone who had made such a great contribution to the Great Zhou.
He could only suppress his frustration and anger, turned to Feng Yan and said, "Feng Yan, is what Princess Yi Xin said true? Those mysterious forces can actually control the emperor?"
However, before Feng Yan could respond, Chu Ci jumped out again impatiently. "Hey, you're being too serious."
"If those people could truly control the emperor, the Great Zhou would have ceased to exist long ago. Those underhanded tactics can only influence the emperor's feelings at best."
Upon hearing this, Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng's eyes flickered, as if they had grasped the key point. They spoke anxiously, almost one after the other, "So, the Crown Prince was deposed because of those people's hidden schemes, deliberately magnifying the suspicions that already existed in the Emperor's heart?"
"Xing Zhang isn't inherently cold-blooded, but rather the problem is that the fake daughter is interfering."
…
The two of them asked almost all the questions that they thought were abnormal at once, one question after another, like a machine gun, leaving Chu Ci no chance to breathe.
Chu Ci kept asking questions until he felt dizzy and his vision became blurry, as if he had turned into a mosquito coil, and he felt dizzy all over.
At this point, the two did not give up, and their thoughts became deeper and deeper.
Linking this to the recent revelations about Concubine Ming, without waiting for Chu Ci's reaction, the two men said almost in unison, "This should only be a small part of the problem. So, how many maggots like this are hidden among the civil and military officials in the capital?"
"How many people have been bewitched or manipulated by those mysterious forces? How vast are the conspiracies lurking in the shadows?"
Thinking of this, the two could no longer sit still in their chairs. "Go to the palace, we must go to the palace immediately to see the emperor and report this matter in detail."
However, even with the urgency of the situation, they didn't forget to carefully consider the personalities of Chu Ci and his wife, as well as Feng Yan and the other two. "Have three sedan chairs brought here immediately."
Chu Ci found this absurd and outrageous.
But the arm can never bend the thigh, and Chu Ci doesn't want to do good things without being known.
So, Chu Ci and the other two were carried into the palace in sedan chairs arranged by Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng.
In the palace, the emperor was waiting anxiously for Chu Ci and the other two, and he became so angry.
Hearing the eunuch hurried in to report that Prince Li had brought Chu Ci and the other two into the palace in a sedan chair, the emperor did not hesitate at all. He immediately waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Announce..."
After the young eunuch left, the emperor thought for a moment and still felt uneasy. He solemnly instructed Zhang Rang beside him, "Call Imperial Physician Bai and have him wait outside the Imperial Study, just in case!"
So, without Chu Ci and the other two knowing anything, they were inexplicably treated by the emperor as porcelain dolls that needed careful care and were so fragile that they would shatter at the slightest touch.
Although this feeling of being overprotected is not bad, I even feel a little flattered and happy in my heart.
But when Chu Ci heard the emperor asking Feng Yan why he killed Master Tongxuan, he could no longer sit calmly and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although Chu Ci had tried his best to control his emotions and look calm.
But Fan Jingrui was with her day and night, and was very familiar with her every move, every frown and smile, so he soon noticed Chu Ci's abnormality.
Fan Jingrui calmly and quickly grasped her right hand, and warned her with his eyes, "Don't act rashly."
The two men thought that their actions were very secretive, but that was just because the emperor was willing to turn a blind eye and not make too many fuss about trivial matters.
However, anything now can easily amplify the emperor's senses.
"Princess Yixin, Lord Ma, don't you think that I shouldn't ask about the truth of this matter?" The emperor stared at the two of them with a sharp gaze, his tone full of majesty and questioning.
Chu Ci was startled when he heard this and immediately replied, "It's right. But..."
