The counselor was also shocked: "Your Highness, I didn't expect any accidents to happen. But don't worry, those assassins are very secretive. Even if they want to investigate, it is unlikely that they will find you."

"How ridiculous! With the intelligence of Wen Jingchi and the Queen Mother, how could they not have thought that it was Wen Chenxuan who did it? Do you think they are both idlers?"

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Wen Chenxuan became, and he felt uneasy all over.

Because of his anxiety and heat, he felt extremely hot and humid for two whole days, to the point where he couldn't eat or sleep.

After three days, he found that everything was safe and sound, and he completely believed what the counselor said, that there should be no evidence between Wen Jingchi and the Queen Mother.

That evening, he called his men again.

"There has been no movement from the Queen Mother and Wen Jingchi this time. According to this article, they have not found any clues. Send more people to lurk in the temple immediately. I have a feeling that Jin San must still be in the temple."

"I will obey your orders and live up to the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The man looked murderous and immediately turned and left, leading more elite killers to the temple.

Wen Jingchi had been prepared for this. He knew very well that these people would definitely come for Jin San again.

Now that Jin San's injury has almost healed, he showed up in person at the back mountain of the temple.

Sure enough, at night, these killers came to the yard where Jin San lived again, intending to take action.

Not surprisingly, they were caught in a trap once again!

Of the ten killers involved that night, five were captured alive, while the other five escaped.

Wen Jingchi took the five captured killers to find the Queen Mother in person and threw them in the middle of the yard.

"What's going on? Why are there five more killers?"

The Queen Mother looked unhappy and couldn't help but walk over to inquire.

These people all have a five-pointed star tattoo on their necks, and judging by their appearance, they should be the same group of killers as last time.

The Queen Mother's rage instantly reached its peak, and she grabbed the cup in front of her and smashed it to the ground.

"This Wen Chenxuan is so audacious that he has sent people here again and again! Immediately pass on my order and bring them to the palace to present to the emperor."

The empress dowager was completely enraged and personally sent someone to take these people back to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

The emperor summoned Wen Chenxuan into the palace overnight.

Wen Chenxuan was sleeping soundly, but when he heard the emperor calling him, he was so scared that his hands almost trembled, but he quickly calmed down.

He came to the imperial study and knelt on the ground to pay his respects.

The emperor looked calm, drank the tea, and said nothing. Instead, he asked him to sit down and have tea with him.

Wen Chenxuan was unsure of what the emperor wanted to do, so he could only sit opposite him awkwardly.

After a long while, the emperor finally spoke in a cold voice.

"Everyone in the outside world knows that the Cao Gang has been wiped out. They all thought that the leader Jin San was dead, but there are still assassins who sneaked into the temple to capture Jin San. Why don't you explain to me who sent those people?"

The emperor was extremely smart. Wen Chenxuan's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and cold sweat broke out.

If he denied that those people had nothing to do with him, it would be just playing house.

At this point, he couldn't back down and could only nod in acknowledgment.

"Father, I did wipe out the Cao Gang last time, but I didn't kill Jin San. I'm afraid you'll blame me, so I want to atone for my sin. Besides, I don't want to alarm you with such a small matter. The reason I didn't tell my ninth brother and the Queen Mother is because Jin San still has the salt permit. The fewer people who know about this, the better..."

After hearing this, the emperor looked a little surprised.

"Father, if I really had selfish motives, I would not have personally wiped out the Cao Gang. The reason why I sent people to lurk in the temple and kill him was because I was afraid that he would harm the Queen Mother, and it would really damage the reputation of the royal family if it got out.

But now that things have come to this, I ask Father to allow me to go to the temple to investigate, make amends, and take down the evil thief Jin San!"

Wen Chenxuan spoke passionately, clenched his fists tightly, and looked quite angry.

After hesitating for a moment, the emperor put down the tea in his hand.

"In that case, I will give you this opportunity to make amends. Please go and come back quickly."

Afterwards, Wen Chenxuan personally led his men and marched towards the temple in a mighty manner. This time he was quite blatant.

Upon learning that Wen Chenxuan was coming, the Queen Mother was already waiting for him in the main hall, her face as dark as ink.

The moment he saw the Queen Mother, Wen Chenxuan walked forward somewhat awkwardly.

"Grandma, why aren't you sleeping yet so late? The night is as cold as water. Why don't you go to bed first?"

"You asked me to rest, do you think I can rest? You sent people here to do this, do you think you can fool everyone?"

The Queen Mother gave him a fierce rebuke.

Wen Chenxuan didn't know how to refute and could only sigh helplessly.

"I had no choice but to do this. I didn't want to alarm you, so I wanted to secretly take Jin San's merit to atone for my sins. Who would have thought that such a big misunderstanding would occur..."

His explanation sounded reasonable, but having lived half her life, how could the empress dowager not know about these palace struggles?

She saw some things more clearly than anyone else, so when she looked at Wen Chenxuan again at this moment, she felt a lingering fear.

She didn't want to bother with these things and went back to her room to rest.

After walking a few steps forward, he found Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi coming out together, and the anger in his heart instantly surged.

"Chu Weiyue, you are so shameless that you are with a man in the middle of the night. You are really a good daughter of your father. Your family's education is too strict."

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in hatred.

Chu Weiyue was not afraid at all. Instead, she sneered coldly and complained quietly in her heart.

[I have no sense of shame, so do you have any sense of shame? You are having an affair with your sister-in-law before you break off your engagement with me. Is that shameless or obscene?]

Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists, his teeth chattering, and he was unable to refute at all.

He glanced at Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi, who were pressed tightly together, and as if he had thought of something, he made a sarcastic remark.

"Today I finally understand, you were so anxious to break off the engagement with me, it turns out you wanted to seduce me, the Ninth Prince. But it's a pity that he's not interested in you, even if you pursue him for a lifetime, he won't be interested in you, you better give up!"

"I'm happy to do that. Is that any of your business?"

Chu Weiyue blinked at him, looking nonchalant.

This made Wen Chenxuan even angrier. When he moved a little, he felt a pain in his body, which made him frown slightly.

Chu Weiyue saw his appearance, and suddenly the system gossip was refreshed.

[Breaking News! The Crown Prince was so anxious about Kim Jong-un that he developed a huge hemorrhoid on his butt! ]

Chu Weiyue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

[No wonder he frowned just now, it turns out he got hemorrhoids because he was so angry! He has such a big hemorrhoid on his butt, I don’t know if it’s because he had sex with other men…]

Chu Weiyue mocked without restraint in her heart, but she did not dare to say these words out loud.
