Wen Chenxuan did not agree, but just glared at him coldly.

"We still need to ask Father for his opinion on this matter. If Father wants to investigate it thoroughly, of course he can. If there is no order from Father, I will investigate this matter. You should leave as soon as possible."

Wen Jingchi didn't stay in a stalemate with him for too long. He went straight to see the emperor and told him the whole story.

Finally, he did not forget to excuse the Marquis and others.

“Father, even my brother was deceived into thinking they were real people from the Western Regions, not to mention the Marquis. I’m sure he was also deceived into thinking they were real people from the Western Regions.

The Western Region is now devastated by war, so it is impossible for them to attack us at this time. I guess he made a deal with this group of people for this purpose..."

The emperor naturally knew what Wen Jingchi said, and he couldn't help but nodded: "What you said makes some sense."

"But this matter is of great importance. Don't make it public before there is clear evidence. They are not from the Western Regions, and they will definitely recruit soldiers for rebellion. You should investigate this matter carefully and be very careful. As for the Marquis' Mansion, don't lift the seal for the time being, otherwise it will alert the enemy."

Wen Jingchi immediately knelt on the ground and accepted the order.

Under the Emperor's orders, he can assist in the investigation.

Although he said he was helping, he and Wen Chenxuan had never gotten along well, so that night he took his men and, after notifying Wen Chenxuan, rushed to the caravan's hideout where the stolen goods were hidden.

When Wen Chenxuan arrived, Wen Jingchi's men had already confiscated all the horses and ironware purchased by the caravan.

Seeing so much valuables being carried away, Wen Chenxuan felt so heartbroken that tears were dripping from his eyes.

Wen Jingchi naturally knew what Wen Chenxuan was thinking, and couldn't help but walk over and sneered.

"Brother, why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Now all these things will belong to the national treasury, you should be happy. These people have been planning for so long, but they actually helped us, aren't you happy?"

This is almost a question that is asked knowingly, it's just as if it is asked openly: I have taken all these things from you, are you happy?

The veins on Wen Chenxuan's forehead bulged, and he wished he could hack Wen Jingchi to death. However, in front of so many people, he could only endure it.

There are some things that everyone knows, but they just haven't revealed them.

After returning to the mansion, Wen Chenxuan angrily grabbed the object in front of him and smashed it to the ground.

"This abominable Wen Jingchi actually goes against me in every way. This prince will definitely let him go, he is too abominable!"

He grabbed a vase in front of him and smashed it hard on the ground, smashing everything here, and only then did his anger subside a little.

His men came in from outside, and he naturally knew the pressure Wen Chenxuan had been facing recently.

He immediately went over and offered a suggestion: "Your Highness, don't worry. Why not get rid of Wen Jingchi? Since he dares to block our way, let him die without a burial place. This way, you don't have to worry."

Upon hearing this, Wen Chenxuan frowned tightly.

"You make it sound so easy. Wen Jingchi's identity is different. If he really attacks him, I'm worried..."

"But if he finds out something else during the interrogation, our efforts will be in vain. Now he has seized many of our hideouts, and a large amount of money has been confiscated by him into the national treasury, and some of it has been put into his own private treasury. All our efforts over the years have actually been in vain.

The emperor only praises him, without any credit from you. If this continues, how can you be the crown prince? Although the emperor trusts you on the surface, he actually has doubts about you. Don't you know the emperor's heart?"

Originally, Wen Chenxuan didn't want to do this, as he might expose himself if he tried to assassinate Wen Jingchi.

If the emperor conducts a large-scale investigation and finds out that he is the one responsible, he will be held responsible.

But when he heard his men say this, he felt a little uneasy.

If the emperor really intends to depose the crown prince and make Wen Jingchi the crown prince, all his efforts over the years will be in vain.

With his fists clenched tightly, Wen Chenxuan finally made a decision.

"Well, go and inform your men immediately and have them kill Wen Jingchi. Don't let him live no matter what."

After receiving the order, his subordinates went to arrange the matter immediately.

Wen Jingchi was busy until dusk before returning to the palace, intending to have a good night's rest. He estimated that Chu Weiyue would be out soon.

Recently, he has been so busy with the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion that he has not even had much time to sleep.

Halfway through the journey, I suddenly realized something was wrong and there was a panic all around me.

Several of his men also noticed something unusual and tightly guarded around Wen Jingchi.

There were only three of them, and with Wen Jingchi, there were only four of them. It was not easy to fight against more than twenty killers.

They rushed out waving their swords and slashed directly at Wen Jingchi.

The men put up a stubborn resistance, but ultimately they were no match for the killer, and all three of them died.

Wen Jingchi's arm was slashed by their sword, and blood immediately flowed out!

He endured the pain and fought with them with his sword, but he knew that he was no match for these people, so he could only jump on the horse next to him and flee.

The killer chased for a few steps, but could not catch up with the horse at all. He had to give up and report to his superiors.

When Wen Chenxuan learned about this, he was furious, and sent many people to ambush Wen Jingchi in places he often went in and out, ready to kill him immediately if he made any movement.

At the same time, Chu Weiyue was still waiting for news in the Marquis' Mansion.

I haven't received a letter from Wen Jingchi for such a long time. I wonder what he has been busy with in recent days.

At this moment, several patrolling guards were heard talking.

"Have you heard? It seems that the Ninth Prince was injured. Who do you think did this? Could it be the mastermind behind this?"

"It's hard to say. The princes have always been fighting each other. Maybe it was done by our superiors. But we should not say such things carelessly, so as not to cause trouble."

Hearing this, Chu Weiyue's heart was completely confused.

He immediately stopped in front of them and gave them a malicious look.

"I heard everything you said just now. You actually dared to doubt the crown prince. If I make this known, both of you will lose your heads."

Hearing this, the two guards panicked instantly and ran over to beg for mercy.

"Miss, please let us go. We just said it casually. Besides, there are some things that we all know in our hearts, but we dare not discuss it openly due to our identities. Please forgive us."

"Yes, Miss, we are telling the truth. I'm sure you know that we just spoke without thinking at the moment. We hope you will forgive us."

Chu Weiyue crossed his arms over his chest, pretending to be someone who was not to be messed with.
