Prince Yu frowned upon hearing this, and said in an unhappy tone, "What do you mean by that?"

Mu Chen curled his lips coldly, jumped off his horse swiftly, and walked to the side of several men in black.

Of the four men in black, only one was left alive, lying half-dead on the ground.

Mu Chen pulled off the mask covering his face, then took out a sign from his arms and threw it to Prince Yu.

"Brother Prince Yu, do you recognize this?"

Prince Yu took a closer look and his expression instantly turned ugly.

This is truly the token of his Prince Yu’s Palace!

how so……

Prince Yu looked at the man in black in disbelief. He was very familiar with that face; it was his personal guard!

The man in black raised his hand with great effort in the direction of Prince Yu. He looked at Prince Yu deeply as if he was unwilling and guilty, and finally he bit his tongue and committed suicide in public.

"Brother Prince Yu is really good at controlling people. This guard is extremely loyal to you." Mu Chen raised his lips and said meaningfully.

Prince Yu knelt hurriedly before Emperor Hui'an, with an unprecedented look of fear on his face, "Father, I didn't do it. I was wrongly accused! You have to believe me!"

Li Ziheng sneered, "Prince Yu means that Prince Chen teamed up with your guards to assassinate himself, and then turned around and framed you?

Not to mention that Prince Chen has only been back in the palace for a few months, how could he bribe Prince Yu's bloated guards? Just the fact that Prince Yu's concubine poisoned Prince Chen a few days ago is enough to show how much you dislike Prince Chen!"

For the first time, Prince Yu felt that he was unable to defend himself.

He did think about taking advantage of the chaos during the hunt to kill Mu Chen, but Bai Yiyi disrupted his plans.

Now everyone is staring at him. If anything happens to Mu Chen, he will be suspected of being the cause. How could he cause trouble at this critical moment!

He was now full of questions. He did not give any orders to these guards and did not understand why they did this.

"Father, I did not instruct Concubine Bai to poison Prince Chen. I just dealt with her yesterday. How could I do such a thing at this critical moment!" Prince Yu didn't care about his dignity at this time. He almost broke his forehead. "Father, how could I do such a stupid thing? Someone must have deliberately framed me!"

Emperor Hui'an looked at Prince Yu coldly, as if analyzing the truth in his words.

"Who do you think is framing you?"

Prince Yu was stunned. He had been racking his brains thinking hard about this matter.

But Prince Heng had long been demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum, the Crown Prince was a sickly man who would not live long, and the only Prince Chen who could be considered a rival had only just returned to the palace and it was impossible for him to have such ability.

Seeing that Prince Yu was silent, Emperor Hui'an laughed coldly and said faintly: "It seems that Prince Yu has learned the art of war very well."

Upon hearing this, Prince Yu's heart instantly sank to the bottom. His father didn't believe him!

"Li Ziheng!" Emperor Hui'an spoke coldly.

Li Ziheng stood up and said, "I am here."

"The enclosure is not safe, prepare to return to the palace!" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Prince Yu coldly and said in a deep and cold voice, "Protect the two princes, understand?"

Everyone lowered their heads and kept silent.

Your Majesty is protecting Prince Chen, but I'm afraid you're imprisoning Prince Yu...

Prince Yu obviously understood the implication of Emperor Hui'an's words. He felt his head go blank and almost stumbled and fell when he stood up.

The emperor would not abandon him for this reason, would he? What should he do?

Prince Yu only felt scared at this moment. He began to miss Empress Dowager Jiang who was far away in the palace. If his grandmother were here, she would definitely not watch him being framed and wronged.

Emperor Hui'an stood up and returned to the tent, and everyone else left as well.

Mu Zhen was helped up by his maid. He and Gu Jin in the crowd looked at each other from afar, their eyes filled with mutual understanding.

He nodded and smiled at Gu Jin, his expression gentle and clear, but when he turned around, there was a flash of unknown indifference in his eyes.

The chess game finally started...
