Chapter 167 Everyone Wants to Be the Last Fisherman

Concubine Xuan and Jiang Zhuolan bowed gracefully. Her every move was unusually noble, without any trace of her previous panic.

Jiang Yingcheng still maintained the silly gesture of stretching out her hands, but when she heard the words, she leaned her head out from the side of her handsome father to take a look, and almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Jiang Yanchuan supported the young man with one hand, turned around, and said in a low voice after a long while: "No need to be polite."

This is the only way from Chongyun Palace to Wuyang Palace. Although he has never explicitly stated that concubines are not allowed to come here to interfere with government affairs, this is the first time that someone has dared to come here directly.

Jiang Yanchuan had a sullen face and was about to ask a cold question when Jiang Yingcheng, who was beside him, ran over with a look of surprise on his face.

"Third brother?" Jiang Yingcheng looked left and right in front of Jiang Zhuolan, "Your injuries are all healed!"

Jiang Zhuolan carefully glanced at Jiang Yanchuan's face, then pursed his lips, took out two candies from his sleeves like offering treasures, and stuffed them into Jiang Yingcheng's palm with a smile: "This is for you."

Jiang Yingcheng's eyes sparkled, and it was obvious that he was very happy with the two candies.

She very sensibly peeled a candy and passed it to Jiang Zhuolan's lips. After watching him eat it, she stuffed the rest into his mouth. Then, the two of them smiled together, their eyes forming a crescent shape.

Jiang Yanchuan watched silently for a while, then suddenly let out a deep sigh.

The serious atmosphere was completely disrupted by these two children, and he didn't want to ruin this rare warm scene.

Jiang Yanchuan looked at Concubine Xuan: "What's the matter?"

Concubine Xuan hurriedly bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, Zhuolan suddenly said after waking up today that he remembered something about that day and wanted to report it to you as soon as possible."

In fact, it doesn't have to be such a critical moment, but the news is too serious. She can only find a time when Emperor Mingze is destined to have little free time, so as to avoid facing the other party's thundering wrath.

Jiang Yanchuan frowned slightly and led the two of them into Wuyang Palace.

It was the first time that Jiang Yingcheng welcomed a little friend in this hall. He was so happy that he kept stuffing various snacks into Jiang Zhuolan's hands. When asked about business, Jiang Zhuolan had to be careful not to drop the things in his hands on the ground while talking.

"Your son, your son, during the conversation between Concubine Hui and that strange man, I vaguely heard a sentence saying that they were going to poison a certain king at the New Year's Day banquet..."

It was when the man said this that he carefully looked around and discovered a small piece of his clothes that was exposed. He still feels a tingling sensation on his scalp when he thinks of the scene.

The atmosphere in Wuyang Hall suddenly became depressing and somewhat terrifying. Jiang Yanchuan's fingers tapped on the table unconsciously. The light and muffled sound seemed to be hitting their skulls directly.

No one spoke in the hall for a while, only Jiang Yingcheng's voice echoed in the ears of several people without any scruples.

[Huh?] Jiang Yingcheng's ears twitched twice, [Is this really happening?!]

The previously cheerful little voice suddenly became angry: [What king? Who are they going to poison?!]

Choosing to cause trouble at Da Rui's New Year's Day banquet is obviously an attempt to frame them!

It's so dirty!

This group of people's methods are too dirty!

007 immediately projected the details of what happened that day onto the panel in text form. Jiang Yingcheng didn't even bother to eat his snacks, staring intently at the densely packed small words on the panel.

[Hmm... Zhu Jinguo? Why do I feel like this name is familiar? ]

Jiang Yanchuan paused tapping the table with his knuckles, and the cold storm brewing in his eyes frightened Eunuch Changshun so much that he took a small step back.

Zhu Jin State was a powerful country bordering Dayu, and it was also the country he planned to attack in the end.

The person behind the scenes must be planning to make them fight each other.

[Ah! !] The young man's inner voice suddenly let out a scream, successfully frightening the already trembling people.

[Isn’t Zhu Jinguo the same Zhu Jin who poisoned my beautiful father? ]

In his excitement, the young man's words became incoherent.

Not to mention the few people standing by who could hear what the little guy was thinking.

Concubine Xuan's knees went weak and she nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, the palace maid beside her was quick to help her and she was able to stand firmly.

Jiang Zhuolan, who was standing by and heard the little guy's thoughts for the first time, trembled his hands, and the snacks that the little guy had stuffed into his arms gurgled and scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Yingcheng raised his head with a blank expression: "Third brother?"

【What’s wrong, Brother San? 】

Jiang Yingcheng quickly squatted down, trying to pat the snack that had just fallen on the ground twice and stuff it into his mouth: [If you pick it up within three seconds, you can still eat it! ]

A group of people were so shocked that they quickly gathered around. Xuan Fei and her two children were standing closest to him, and they were the first to snatch the biscuit from the little guy's hand: "Little ancestor, you can't eat this anymore!"

Jiang Yingcheng watched with disdain as the beautiful Aunt Xuan Fei casually handed the small biscuits to the palace maid, and then took away all the snacks scattered on the ground, feeling so distressed that he cried.

[It’s edible… it’s still edible! ]

She ate too many snacks at the morning court today, and her father the Emperor had already had an opinion. If the snacks in Wuyang Palace had not been prepared long ago by Eunuch Changshun, she would not have been able to eat even these today!

Jiang Yingcheng looked at Eunuch Changshun pitifully, hoping to arouse his sympathy so that he could secretly help her prepare something without telling her handsome father!

Eunuch Changshun: "..."

Life in this palace is becoming increasingly difficult.

Jiang Yanchuan sighed helplessly, trying to divert the boy's attention away from the snacks.

He asked Jiang Zhuolan, "What king? Can you remember anything?"

Jiang Zhuolan looked up in a daze, and suddenly he spoke as if an idea had come to his mind: "Okay, it seems to be Zhu something..."

"But Zhu Jin?"

Jiang Zhuolan nodded heavily: "Yes, yes! It's Zhu Jin!"

Jiang Yingcheng's inner voice almost overlapped with his: [Yes, yes, it's that bad guy Zhu Jinguo! ]

[They are so bad!] Jiang Yingcheng lowered her head and counted the information she had just seen from the data on her fingers, [Although they were poisoned at our Da Rui's New Year's Day banquet, they actually had the same idea!]

[It's not easy to poison the beautiful father, so they set their sights on my brother, the crown prince! ]

[It's a slow-acting poison from another country, and you're still thinking about leaving after this! ]

The sound of grinding teeth could be heard in the Wuyang Palace, and everyone in the palace could clearly feel the young man's anger.

Jiang Yanchuan placed his fingers lightly on the rosewood armrest of the chair and rubbed it slowly, then he suddenly smiled very lightly.

Everyone wants to be the last fisherman, but it depends on whether they have the ability to do it.
