After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Chu Yanchen sighed and closed his eyes… In fact, when they left the dungeon, he and Song Mingli had already reached an agreement.

Since the prince has brought his troops to the door and refuses to search, he will not give up.

He came to delay time and try to make the prince give up the idea of ​​searching.

If this can be dispelled, then there will still be some brotherhood left.

If the conspiracy cannot be dispelled, Song Mingli can take this opportunity to hide Cheng Li.

With just this search, all the brotherhood that had been built up over the years was wiped out.

"Your Highness... please come in." Chu Yanchen made way for the door and came to his wife and children.

He protected his wife and children, and asked the servants and guards of Prince Jing's mansion to keep an eye on the people who were searching to prevent them from destroying the property in the mansion.

The neighbors around looked at Prince Jing standing at the door, protecting his wife and children, and watched helplessly as the crown prince and elder brother, whom he was protecting and loyal to, were so brutally sent people into his mansion to search.

"Why did Prince Jing compromise? Why are you searching the palace without an imperial decree?"

"Prince Jing has already handed over his military power. Isn't it enough for him to resign from his post?"

"Prince Jing doesn't want to compromise, but... using his wife and children as a threat, those are the children that Prince Jing has finally found!"

"Ugh……"

The people around looked at the family of three standing at the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion and couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads for them.

The prince's expression became increasingly ugly.

Why didn’t anyone mention the time when Chu Yanchen was tyrannical?

Didn't many people dislike his tyranny in the past?

Why do I feel sympathy for him now?

"Thinking back then, Prince Jing was so high-spirited and high-spirited!"

"Yes, even the title of Crown Prince cannot overshadow the God of War Prince Jing!"

The prince curled his lips and said, "That's right!"

Prince Jing was too arrogant in the past, and people hated him a long time ago!

Now, searching his mansion and slapping him in the face is just following the will of the people!

"I didn't expect that Prince Jing would have to swallow his anger like this today..."

"I still like Prince Jing's high-spirited look back then!"

"Didn't you hear that Prince Jing called him 'Big Brother' at the end? He really cares too much about brotherhood!"

……

The prince was shocked and looked at Chu Yanchen in surprise, then looked in the direction of the voice.

He didn't see the person who was talking, he only saw the corner doors of each house hurriedly closed.

Brotherhood?

Ha! Chu Yanchen is just pretending!

If he really cared about brotherhood, he would have handed over Cheng Li when he asked for the person!

Despite repeated questioning, he refused to admit that he had arrested Cheng Li!

Cheng Li is too impulsive and reckless!

How could he come and follow Princess Jing and capture her without discussing it with me?

Given Chu Yanchen and Song Mingli's personalities, would she be so easy to catch?

Cheng Li's arrogance and Chu Yanchen's recognition and sympathy from the people around him made the prince feel emotional and his heart was hot and stuffy.

People who entered the mansion to search also came out in waves.

"Your Highness, the wanted criminal has not been found in the East Court!"

"Your Highness, the wanted criminal has not been found in the West Courtyard!"

"Your Highness, the wanted criminal has not been found in the North Courtyard!"

"Go back to Your Highness..."

The prince's heart had sunk to the bottom, but he saw that the last wave of people brought out a person covered in blood and dying.

found it!

The prince was excited.

"Chu Yanchen! You——" The prince was about to get angry, but when he looked again, he realized, eh? This person is not Cheng Li?

The prince suppressed his doubts and rebuked, "You actually set up a private prison and detained the court's most important criminals! What else do you have to say now?"

"Who is he, a wanted criminal of the imperial court?" Chu Yanchen raised his eyes and looked at the prince.

"If he is the person that His Royal Highness is looking for, the Prince will surely be able to tell you who he is, right?"

The prince looked at the man whose body was covered in blood. Who was this?

He could only recognize that this person was definitely not Cheng Li, so who could this person be?

"No matter who he is, you cannot set up a private prison and abuse the punishment. You are breaking the law knowingly!" The prince shouted, "Come on, arrest Prince Jing."

Chu Yanchen said coldly, "He didn't use torture. He was tortured into this state because he ate the snacks that the prince gave to Jingyou."

The wounds and blood on Su Zhengyang's body were not caused by torture, but by the poison that had been spreading for seven days. He was in so much pain that he hurt himself.

At this point, the brotherhood between Chu Yanchen and the prince has been exhausted.

There is no need to keep the last layer of fig leaf.

"You... you are lying and slandering me. Your crime is extremely heinous!"

"Someone, quickly capture Prince Jing!"

The prince gritted his teeth and looked at him coldly, "Don't resist, your family will not be harmed. If you resist arrest, your family will be guilty as well!"

Chu Yanchen’s weakness is the two people around him.

If you want to control him, just control the two people around him.

Chu Yanchen was thinking, with the speed of the Dragon Shadow Guard... the key to breaking the deadlock should be here soon, right?

Is there something that delayed the Dragon Shadow Guard?

He was thinking about how to delay a little longer when suddenly, Su Zhengyang, who had been dragged out and was lying on the ground like a dead man, suddenly struggled to get up.

"I'm sorry, Prince Jing, Princess Jing, I'm sorry... It's my sister who's sorry to you, and I'm even more of an idiot!"

"In the next life... I will come back to atone for my sins!"

He pounced on the prince's guard who had already drawn his knife.

The blade sliced ​​across his neck and cut his throat.

The blood spurting from his neck splashed on the guards around him.

"Did you hear him? He said..."

The guards around were not prepared for such a sudden change and retreated subconsciously.

But he still couldn't avoid the spurting blood.

"He said he was sorry to Prince Jing and his wife, and he wanted to atone for his sins in the next life..."

"It seems that he is really not the one imprisoned and tortured by Prince Jing?"

"Could it be that what Prince Jing said is true..."

The guards murmured.

The prince's face changed drastically, "Shut up!"

"Prince Jing secretly hid the wanted criminal and set up a private prison, violating Beili's laws!"

"Come here, capture Prince Jing! If there is resistance..."

"The imperial edict arrives——"

Before the prince could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of galloping horses in the distance and the voices of sword-wielding guards shouting the imperial edict.

The prince's face was gloomy, and he wished he could shoot an arrow at the imperial guard who was riding a horse and galloping towards him, holding the imperial edict.

but……

The prince looked back at the people he brought with him, as well as the nearby residents, who were looking through the cracks in the door.

He could only endure it and dismount.

The imperial guards stopped their horses and read out the imperial edict.

The emperor did not blame the prince, but only stated in the imperial edict that the emperor would personally inquire about and handle the affairs of Prince Jing's Mansion.

He ordered the crown prince to lead his troops back to the East Palace immediately.

The emperor still gave the prince face.

The prince received the order and slowly exhaled. He looked at Chu Yanchen deeply.

"If Fourth Brother had handed over that person voluntarily, you and I would still be good brothers. Why do you insist on forcing our brotherhood to the brink of destruction?"

Without waiting for Chu Yanchen to answer, the prince walked away.

But the troops he led were not completely withdrawn.

He also left nearly a hundred people stationed around Prince Jing's Mansion, keeping a close eye on it.

"How come I have pushed our brotherhood to the brink of destruction?" Chu Yanchen smiled mockingly.

"Do it for the sake of your conscience." Song Mingli whispered beside him.

"Go back." Chu Yanchen winked at her.
