Chapter 226 Grab it

Ling Fengxun lowered his eyes slightly, and was not in a hurry to take the book.

"Come in first."

After all, this is the main gate of the palace. It would not be good if outsiders kept watching the prince and several old ministers of the Chu family kneeling here.

If they want to kneel, they have to kneel inside.

Ling Changxi was as if he had been pardoned: "Yes, Uncle Huang!"

He immediately winked at the uncles behind him, and all the people of the Chu family stood up in a panic and walked into the palace.

An Yunxi did not approach the door. She was accompanied by several servants in the palace, standing behind a tree, watching to see who was coming.

Ling Fengxun led a group of people to the guest hall. He sat on the main seat and stared coldly at the Chu family below.

The Chu family was still standing, but when they saw Ling Changxi kneel down first, they all knelt down hurriedly, with their heads lowered. The scene was a little chaotic, but after a moment, the family became neat and tidy.

Someone handed the book in Ling Changxi's hand to Ling Fengxian, who took a closer look and then asked, "Who are the people who have contact with the assassin? Have you found out?"

Ling Changxi's forehead was sweating a little: "When my nephew took people to catch them, he found that those people were already dead."

"In other words, there is no evidence?"

Ling Changxi's back was cold.

Since the person behind the scenes had taken action, he did not intend to leave any handle.

All the evidence points to him and the Chu family, and the assassin leader is indeed a member of the Chu family's assassins.

The person behind the scenes who was able to pry open his Chu family's assassins must be very well connected. Ling Changxi didn't know whether it was the prince or someone else who was dealing with him, but now he knew that the Chu family was on the edge of a cliff.

"Uncle, this matter was really not done by my nephew. How dare my nephew hurt the princess! Besides, what good would it be for my nephew to hurt the princess?"

Ling Fengxun raised the corners of his lips, his eyes deep.

"Benefits? Now the imperial power is in my hands, and Xier is my biggest weakness. To attack her is to attack me."

Others know this, and of course he knows it too.

However, he does not think An Yunxi is his weakness.

Even when faced with assassins, An Yunxi could remain calm and even kill all the assassins. How many women in the entire capital can do this?

If the person who encountered the assassin today was not An Yunxi, she would have met with an accident long ago, and he would not have been able to save her in time!

Ling Changxi said, "Uncle, I have brought the witnesses here, and everything in the book is true!"

Ling Fengxun slammed the book on the table.

"The witnesses you found are originally from the Chu family. Why should I believe what they say?"

The head of the Chu family was trembling.

"Prince Regent, please be discerning. The Chu family is innocent, innocent!"

The head of the Chu family shouted, his voice was slightly trembling, and his white stubble was shaking non-stop.

He knelt on the ground, like a refugee crying out to the Lord of Heaven, and was so wronged that it almost snowed outside.

The rest of the Chu family was not to be outdone, and they all cried out that they were wronged. After all, the evidence they had finally found was not believed by the Regent, and they had no other choice.

The Regent had a splitting headache from the shouting of this group of people.

He rubbed his brows, but his voice was still cold: "Second Prince, three days have passed, and you have not produced any evidence that satisfies this prince. Come, put the Second Prince and everyone in the Chu family in the prison!"

Ling Changxi raised his head in disbelief, looking at the expressionless Ling Fengxun, his heart completely fell to the bottom.

Outside the door, a guard from the palace walked in and directly dragged out the Chu family members who had been crying out for justice.

Ling Changxi's face was pale. He did not resist when he was taken away. After all, it was because he was incompetent and did not complete the arrangement of the emperor's uncle in the limited time. Even if he was punished, it was reasonable .

After the Chu family and the second prince in the hall were taken away, An Yunxi walked in from the side of the door.

She naturally saw the scene of the second prince being taken away, and a look of doubt flashed across her eyes.

"Prince, didn't you say before that this should not be done by the second prince? Why arrest him?"

When Ling Fengxun saw An Yunxi, his originally cold eyes instantly became soft.

The deep dark blue eyes were all shining.

He chuckled, leisurely drank a sip of tea and said: "Fishing requires bait."

This sentence made An Yunxi understand the reason.

"Your Highness said that the Second Prince was a bait?"

Ling Fengxun nodded slightly.

An Yunxi's eyes flashed: "Your Highness deliberately said that the Second Prince did this and arrested him. Did he want to see the reactions of the other two princes or some court officials?"

The smile in Ling Fengxun's eyes deepened. He stretched out his hand, pulled An Yunxi who walked in front of him, and let her sit on his lap.

An Yunxi's body trembled slightly, and she pushed Ling Fengxun subconsciously. Fortunately, everyone in the guest hall had gone out and no one else saw it, otherwise she would be embarrassed.

"Your Highness, stop making trouble and talk about business."

Ling Fengxun did not move, but asked her to move her seat so that she could sit more comfortably.

He smiled and said, "Well, I was planning to talk to the princess about serious matters. Let's get closer so that no one can overhear us when we tell secrets."

An Yunxi rolled her eyes secretly.

Excuses, all excuses!

"Okay, I'll listen to the secrets from the prince now."

Ling Fengxun lowered his eyes slightly and put his thin lips to An Yunxi's ear.

"This must have been done by the third prince. If it was really him, how do you think I should deal with him?"

The word "definitely" made An Yunxi's body cold for a moment.

She widened her eyes. No matter how she guessed before, it was still a guess. But once it became a fact,

"The third prince is a friend I grew up with."

All kinds of past events still remained in An Yunxi's memory.

Ling Fengxun said, "Perhaps there are no friends in the imperial power. When he knew you entered the palace and was with me, he deliberately told me some past events between you and the crown prince to anger me. Didn't Xiao Xier suspect his intentions?"

This made An Yunxi stunned.

It turned out that there were signs of betrayal.

She always thought that the third prince Ling Changyu was really a lazy and idle dandy. He just liked to play and didn't do serious work. As a result

, the other party was so thoughtful?

"Prince, I want to talk to the third prince and meet him."

After many years of friendship, even if she had doubts about him, she wanted to test his attitude.

Ling Fengxun said: "Alright, but don't let him know, we already suspect him."

An Yunxi nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to say and what not to say."
