Chapter 336: Twins?
The three teams of law enforcement officers in embroidered uniforms looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, all with embarrassed expressions.
Every face was filled with hesitation and uneasiness, and no one had the intention of showing up in front of the prince to seek credit.
When the purple-robed envoy Yan Xin saw this situation, he could not help but hold his forehead with his hands and sighed in his heart, wondering what happened to the third team today?
Did you decide to embarrass yourself in front of everyone today?
Even so, after all, he still had to take care of his subordinates, so Yan Xin had no choice but to shamelessly say to Chu Ci: "How about Princess Yixin, can you just pick one at random?"
Chu Ci had no idea what the people in Team 3 were hesitating about. In her opinion, it was she who was going to report to the prince, not them. Was it necessary for them to act so miserable and half-dead?
Chu Ci is a bit of a rebellious person.
So, she raised her chin slightly, her eyes as firm as a torch, and pointed deliberately at the person hiding behind her teammate, raising her voice and shouting, "You, it's you!"
The embroidered law enforcement officer who was pointed out by Chu Ci felt extremely miserable! It was as if a huge rock weighed down his heart, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
However, as members of the Embroidered Uniform Law Enforcement Unit, their greatest strength was obedience to orders. This was a creed ingrained in them, and it was also their unshirkable duty.
Therefore, even though he was reluctant, he knew that the mission must be prioritized at this moment. He then straightened his body, forced himself to be alert, and quickly replied, "Yes, I obey your command!"
It was just because he was so reluctant that he hesitated a little.
Unexpectedly, because of this delay, fate played a trick on him and he was brought directly before the emperor by the prince.
"Crown Prince..." The emperor was about to ask about the situation when he glanced at the person the crown prince had brought with him. Unexpectedly, he saw that the person's face was exactly the same as the second prince who had just been brought out from Wenyuan Pavilion. The emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he said in disbelief, "This person? Are you also investigating the second prince's matter?"
However, when Xiangpin was pregnant, many imperial doctors took turns to check her pulse, but none of them diagnosed that she was pregnant with twins!
Similarly, the prince did not expect that the embroidered law enforcement officer who was brought back to testify in a hurry had such an unexpected hidden secret.
Chu Ci first looked at the handsome young man in the imperial study with a complicated expression, and then looked seriously at the dark and strong law enforcement officer in embroidered clothes beside him.
Then Chu Ci began to shrink back, wishing he could immediately turn into a ground mole and burrow into the ground to escape this tense atmosphere.
Chu Ci thought his little evasive move was secretive, but he didn't know that everyone present could see it clearly.
The emperor, in particular, felt a splitting headache when he saw Chu Ci.
There was no way. Every time Chu Ci saw him, he would never give up until he took something away.
The emperor frowned, his eyes fixed on the crown prince, and he signaled with his eyes, "Why did you bring this trouble here?"
The Crown Prince shook his head slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on the corner of his mouth. He replied with the same gaze, "Father, you should know her capabilities. She knows a lot of key information in this matter. If we want to find out the truth, her participation is indispensable."
The emperor and the prince communicated with each other through their eyes, and the exchange of eyes seemed to contain countless secrets that were difficult for others to understand.
However, even this silent exchange of words made the atmosphere in the imperial study extremely oppressive. The solemn atmosphere seemed to have turned into a heavy lead weight, weighing down everyone present, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Especially the law enforcement officer in embroidered clothes at the bottom, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and he looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water. His clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his body, making him feel extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Finally, he could no longer bear the immense pressure and fell to his knees with a plop. His voice trembled like a leaf in the wind as he cried, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, my background is absolutely innocent. My family has been farmers for generations, and we have always been honest and have never done anything wrong. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
When Chu Ci saw this, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something bad was going to happen. Then he knew that something bad was going to happen.
As expected, the emperor looked at the people kneeling below him, as if this scene was reminding him that it was not enough for him as an emperor to be fooled once, and he might be manipulated again by those with ulterior motives.
In an instant, the hostility in his eyes burst out like a surging tide, and his gloomy face seemed to be able to drip water. The air around him seemed to be frozen by this chill, which made people shudder.
Chu Ci was apprehensive and thought to himself, "Will the Emperor, in a fit of rage, just kill him without a care in the world? If that happens, it will be truly unmanageable."
So Chu Ci quietly moved to the side of the prince, lowered his voice, and said nervously: "Your Highness, would you like to persuade him?"
Emperor: Is he a tyrant in Chu Ci's eyes?
Thinking of this, the emperor's inner anger was like a volcano about to erupt, and he could no longer suppress it.
There was a loud bang, and the emperor slammed the table, shouting angrily, "Shut up."
The embroidered-robed law enforcer was so frightened that he immediately fell silent, and his body trembled even more violently like a sieve.
But Chu Ci, the person who was scolded, just shrank her neck, then quickly returned to her original position, and her face instantly changed to a well-behaved and innocent expression, as if the person who was full of little movements before was not her.
The emperor stared at Chu Ci, suppressing his anger and taking deep breaths again and again. He kept reminding himself in his heart that Chu Ci was the key to his becoming a sage monarch, and he must not punish him, he must not punish him.
However, he turned around and shouted sternly, "Come here, take these... these two people away and interrogate them strictly."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the well-trained guards guarding the imperial study jumped on the person the emperor mentioned quickly and accurately, like a tiger pouncing on its prey.
Just as he was about to leave, the prince hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly, "Keep a strict watch on them. If anything goes wrong between the two of them, you will bring your heads to me!"
Chu Ci witnessed the prince's majesty for the first time, and his heart trembled violently.
She had always thought that the prince was always so gentle and generous, but she never expected that at this critical moment, he would show such a sharp and decisive side.
As expected, in this deep palace, everyone has a side hidden in the dark and unknown to the public. Even the prince, who always gives people a kind impression, has such awe-inspiring majesty.
If it weren’t for the cheat, Chu Ci might really not be able to handle it.
No, she had to find a way to leave the imperial study. The atmosphere here was too depressing, and every moment she stayed there felt like a heavy burden weighing on her heart.
She must find a suitable excuse as soon as possible to escape from this dangerous place.
Chu Ci's eyes darted around, and it was clear what he was planning. Seeing this, the emperor was startled. "Prince, tell me what you found out."
