The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

It was dark at night, but there were many imperial guards patrolling everywhere in Shengjing City. The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice led the team personally, searching house by house for secret agents of the Yan State with great fanfare, fearing that others would not be aware of their actions.

After Yan Ji came back from the palace, she was about to rest, but suddenly she received a message from the guards. She was stunned and repeated in disbelief: "Searching for secret agents in Yan State?"

In the past few days, as the birthday of Emperor Li was approaching, Yan Ji was very well-behaved. She stayed in the house and listened to music. She didn't go anywhere. She even didn't send anyone to the prison in the capital to inquire about the news of her husband.

Why did Emperor Li suddenly issue an order to capture the secret agents of the State of Yan?

What happened in this that she didn't know?

Yan Ji was thinking about it. General Li Zheng was standing by. Seeing this, he hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Princess, no matter what Emperor Li wants to do, you can no longer stay in Shengjing."

General Li Zheng was unaware of the cooperation between the eldest princess and the fourth prince of Li. In his opinion, the eldest princess' life was the most precious. If the eldest princess continued to stay in Shengjing, she might be in danger.

As for Prince Consort Shi, as long as he was not dead, he would definitely find another way to rescue him.

Thinking of this, General Li Zheng bowed to the princess and said, "Princess, please prepare to leave Shengjing as soon as possible."

"Do not."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ji's face suddenly turned cold. "If I don't leave, even if Emperor Li wants to arrest the Yan State's secret agents, what does that have to do with me?"

"Now I am still in the capital, and my husband is still in prison, but the Emperor Li insisted on doing this. I am not a soft persimmon that can be bullied at will. Just wait and see, the Emperor Li will not be arrogant for much longer..."

Do you really think that the Yan State is easy to bully?

At this point, Yan Ji couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had already reached a cooperation with the Fourth Prince of Li. As long as tomorrow's plan went smoothly, the Fourth Prince of Li would be able to become the new emperor of Li as he wished.

By the time……

Yan Ji sneered in her heart. She would definitely make the current Emperor Li pay a heavy price for his actions tonight!

Li Zheng didn't know what the eldest princess meant. What did she mean by Emperor Li's arrogance wouldn't last much longer?

Li Zheng frowned, looking puzzled: "Princess, do you have any plans?"

"nothing."

Yan Ji concealed the coldness in her eyes and spoke in a calm tone.

Tomorrow is the most critical moment and she cannot take it lightly.

"General, there is no need to say more. I will not leave Shengjing until my son-in-law is rescued."

As long as the fourth prince of Li successfully seizes the throne, the prince consort will be able to come out.

Yan Ji raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at General Li Zheng, and said with a slightly impatient look: "If you have nothing else to do, please leave first. I should go to bed."

Realizing that the princess didn't seem to want to care about the imperial guards' search for Yan's secret agents tonight, Li Zheng lowered his eyes, leaned back and said, "I'll take my leave."

After coming out of the yard, Li Zheng did not return to his room.

He went to find two guards to continue watching the movements outside. If the imperial guards really caught the Yan State's secret agent, they should come back and report to him immediately.

The two guards took the order and left.

Li Zheng stood there, looked up at the full moon hanging in the sky, and sighed softly.

I've been away from home for a long time and I miss you so much.

No matter what the eldest princess's plan was, he had to prepare in advance just in case.

……

Not only did Yan Ji know the news, the Fourth Prince and Prince Su Qin also learned about the big commotion in Shengjing City from spies.

At that time, the fifth prince Xie Yue was still staying in the fourth prince's mansion. He was drunk and was reluctant to leave.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Xie Jin was afraid that the fifth prince would suddenly get drunk and cause trouble, so he let him stay overnight in the mansion and sent someone to take the fifth prince to the guest house to rest.

After he could no longer see the back of his fifth brother, Xie Jin's face suddenly darkened and he walked back and forth in the yard feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, Xie Jin stopped and looked at Wen Kang who was standing by, "Go to Prince Su's mansion and give Uncle Su a message, just say -"

After a slight pause, Xie Jin waved at him and said, "Come here first."

Wen Kang understood what he meant, and quickly approached his master, leaning over to listen carefully.

Xie Jin whispered something in his ear.

Wen Kang nodded calmly and then left quickly.

After Wen Kang left, Xie Jin still stood in the yard waiting for news.

I don't know what has gone wrong with my father. The palace banquet had just ended and the Princess of Yan had just shown up at the banquet and presented a gift. How could my father suddenly want to send people to search the capital and capture the secret agents of Yan?

Is it true that father is not afraid of an attack from the State of Yan?

This time, the emperor's order was too strange. For a moment, Xie Jin couldn't figure out his father's intentions, but he always felt uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to get out of his control...

"What happened after the palace banquet?"

Xie Jin suddenly thought of something and called Wen Chao over, "Send a servant who doesn't know a thing to get some information outside the palace."

Now is the most critical moment. He can't just watch the imperial guards searching the city in a daze. He must find out his father's intention.

Xie Jin was a little worried whether their plan could go smoothly tomorrow.

Wen Chao took the order and went to find someone quickly.

After standing in the yard for a while, Xie Jin walked out of the yard and headed towards the mansion gate.

I am destined to have a sleepless night tonight.

On the other side, the guest house.

After the servant helped the Fifth Prince into the room, he saw that the Fifth Prince was very drunk and fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down on the couch.

The servant stood beside the couch and stared at him for a long time. When he noticed that the Fifth Prince was indeed fast asleep, he blew out the candle on the table and quietly turned away.

However, the moment the door was closed, Xie Yue, who was lying on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes.

The room was pitch black, with only a little moonlight coming in from the window, providing some light.

Fortunately, Xie Yue had practiced martial arts for many years and could see in the dark. He turned over from the couch and stood on the ground lightly.

Xie Yue approached the window quietly. The window was not closed, so he could see clearly that it was bright outside.

However, this is the guest house and few people come here.

Listening to the noise outside, it seemed that there were only two maids guarding the guest house, waiting to obey orders at any time...

After understanding the situation, Xie Yue's eyes darkened. He supported himself on the edge of the window with one hand, turned over and jumped up. He flipped out of the window with quick and clean movements and landed steadily on the ground.

Just as Xie Yue was about to leave, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise, "Afang, did you hear any sound just now?"

Xie Yue suddenly stood still, not moving for a while, using the corner of the wall to hide his figure.

The maid called Ah Fang asked in surprise: "What's that sound?"

"Chunlin, there are only you and me here, what other sounds can there be?"

Chunlin frowned, looking a little hesitant: "No, I just seemed to hear something falling..."

"Maybe the wind picked up something."

Ah Fang felt that there was nothing to say. "You don't have to be so cautious. The Fifth Prince is drunk and has fallen asleep in his room. There is no way he will come out."

"Besides, the housekeeper only asked us to stay outside and watch to prevent the fifth prince from coming out. There is no need to worry about anything falling down..."

At this point, Afang couldn't help but complain in her heart. Originally, she didn't have to stand guard at night, but the housekeeper insisted on asking her to come out and be responsible for keeping an eye on the Fifth Prince, causing her to have to blow the cold wind in the yard at this time!

As long as the fifth prince doesn't wake up, she doesn't care about any noise!

"But……"

Chunlin still felt something was not right, and was hesitating whether to go into the room to take a look, but Ah Fang pulled her sleeve and said impatiently, "Don't say but, just be quiet."

Chunlin: “…”

Being dragged by Afang, Chunlin had no way to walk away and had to suppress his doubts in his heart.

Chunlin: "Okay, Afang, let go first, I won't go over."

Upon hearing this, Ah Fang immediately loosened her sleeves and rolled her eyes at her with disdain, "You have to be smart when you're on night duty, don't be involved in everything. As long as you stay in the yard, you're already following the housekeeper's orders."

Chunlin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she met Afang's eyes, she closed her mouth.

Chunlin entered the mansion as a maid in the past two days. She carefully memorized all the rules of the mansion, but she found out today that many of the maids in the mansion were very different from what she had imagined...

Hearing that there was no movement in the yard, Xie Yue, who was hiding in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly rushed to the yard where his fourth brother lived.

-

It was almost midnight, but the imperial study in the palace was still brightly lit with candles.

Emperor Li and Xie Xi sat opposite each other.

There was a chessboard between the two of them. One held the black pieces, and the other held the white pieces. They fought on the board without giving in to each other.

Xie Xi placed the white piece on the chessboard and successfully captured the black piece before he spoke: "I have sent someone to find the midwife who delivered my mother. Once I have accurate information, I will inform my father as soon as possible."

"As for Xie Jin, no matter how your Majesty wants to deal with him, I will not object."

"If the truth is really as that girl said, I will never let Xie Jin and Prince Su go!"

When Xie Jin and Prince Su were mentioned, Emperor Li instantly felt upset. Xie Jin had been hanging around in front of him for so many years, but he didn't even know that he was not his own flesh and blood!

If it weren't for that girl, he would probably continue to be kept in the dark, like a fool, knowing nothing!

Xie Xi nodded, "Father can do whatever he wants to do with them, but Uncle Su is a cunning man, and his actions are watertight. If Uncle Su hadn't gone to great lengths to cover up the whereabouts of those Yan soldiers, the Shadow Guards would not have been able to find where they were hiding."

It was actually Xie Xi's idea to send the imperial guards to search for Yan State's spies in Shengjing City with great fanfare.

On the surface, he wanted to capture the hidden spy of Yan State, but he was just trying to confuse the Princess of Yan, Xie Jin and Prince Su. In fact, Emperor Li had already sent his shadow guards out to search for Prince Su's private residence in private.

Prince Su has many private residences under his name. He has purchased several private residences both inside and outside Shengjing City. However, some of them are displayed in public, while for some of them, even Emperor Li doesn't know whether they belong to Prince Su.

Now that time is running out, the ten shadow guards are divided into two teams. One team will go out of the city to conduct a thorough investigation, while the other team will stay in the city and search all the private residences under the name of Prince Su under the cover of night. They must find the soldiers of Yan State as soon as possible!

It had been an hour since the ten shadow guards left the palace and had not returned yet. Xie Xi then realized that this matter was indeed very tricky and that the Emperor's uncle Su was indeed very capable.

"I spared his life and gave him a mansion, allowing him to be an idle prince. I didn't expect that—"

Emperor Li had a cold expression, a flash of regret and self-blame in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that he was so ungrateful. He had been setting up a scheme against the Queen and me more than a decade ago!"

Emperor Li was the eldest son and was made the crown prince by his father as soon as he was born. Although his father treated him harshly in those days, he never let him suffer any punishment. It can be said that Emperor Li's path to becoming the crown prince was extremely smooth and he never suffered any setbacks.

Only on the day when his father was seriously ill, his half-brother, now Prince Su, actually thought of taking advantage of his father's illness to trick his father into passing the throne to him!

Prince Su even wanted to use his mother's life to threaten his father.

If Emperor Li had not rushed over in time and secretly sent people to protect his mother and had Prince Su taken away and imprisoned, I'm afraid who knows how much trouble would have arisen.

Later, when his father passed away and Emperor Li ascended the throne, he followed his father's instructions before his death and did not kill his half-brother, which saved Prince Su's life...

After so many years, Emperor Li thought that Prince Su had already accepted his fate and was living a leisurely life as a prince, no longer coveting the throne. However, he did not expect that Prince Su not only refused to accept his fate, but had already set up a trap to deceive them for more than ten years, and even had the delusion of catching them all in one fell swoop!

"Now that I think about it, I really did make a mistake back then!"

Emperor Li's eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice was choked with sobs as he spoke: "I shouldn't have made him a prince, I should have demoted him to a commoner!"

"If I had been cruel enough back then, this wouldn't have happened!"

Listening to his father's confession, Xie Xi didn't know how to respond for a moment.

He knew that this could not be entirely blamed on his father. Uncle Su was too scheming and he hid his intentions very deeply. If Lu Xiaoxiao had not revealed Uncle Su's conspiracy, no one would have known that Uncle Su had already made the plan more than ten years ago.

My father learned the art of being an emperor, and learned about checks and balances, and political intrigues. He had never seen the conspiracies and intrigues in the harem, so how could he be on guard against Uncle Su?

Xie Xi: "Father, don't blame yourself. I will help you solve this matter as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying San suddenly appeared in front of them.

Shadow three jumped in from the window.

Upon seeing His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Ying San immediately knelt down and saluted: "Ying San greets His Majesty, greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Li: "No need to be polite, please stand up quickly."

Xie Xi: "Ying San, what did you find out?"

Ying San stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I have led my men to search the entire Shengjing City and have found the hiding place of those Yan soldiers. They are indeed in Prince Su's private residence..."

"There are many guards guarding the private residence. I found a gap when they were changing shifts and sneaked in. Then, when I was hiding, I found a basement under the backyard of the private residence, and there was movement down there..."
