Crown Prince's Counterattack

"Luzhuer, are you alright?"

The guard pressed Chao Lu and knelt beside Zhu Fen, and Zhu Fen asked anxiously. Zhao Lu now has two bodies, which is different from before, and he couldn't help worrying about her physical condition.

And Chao Lu just glanced at Zhu Bian indifferently, then lowered her head silently, her mood was very calm, this was the ending she had expected a long time ago, but it came a little unexpectedly soon.

Zhu Yan stared at her blankly, not understanding her attitude. Could it be that she felt that she was a burden to her?

"Gu actually didn't expect that you, a weak and weak woman, would be able to play with your third brother and applaud you. You really can't be fooled by appearances. Now that things have come to an end, you might as well tell him all the truth as a reward." How do you think he has taken care of you for many years?"

The corners of Sima Yi's mouth curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes, the hero was sad and the beauty couldn't pass.

Zhu Bian's expression changed, and he immediately looked at Zhaoxia, with a bit of panic in his eyes. He couldn't believe that the woman he had loved for many years actually stayed by his side with ulterior motives, and even he has fallen to this point today, which is indispensable. her plan.

"Impossible, you told me that what elder brother said is not true, you have nothing to hide from me, right?"

Zhu Bing clenched Zhao Lu's slender wrist, the severe pain didn't change her expression in the slightest, she just quietly, with a gesture of pity.

"It's true, I have been lying to you for so many years. Everything I do has my own purpose. I just want to thank the prince for taking care of me for so many years."

Chao Lu's tone was unexpectedly calm, she had expected Zhu Bian's anger, and it was only natural for him to be angry, if he wanted to blame it, he could only blame fate, and blame him for his involuntary control.

"Impossible, this is impossible..."

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured this sentence repeatedly, his whole body was lost, and he seemed unable to accept this fact. Seeing his son's disappointment, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened instantly.

"Why, why did you do this, you already have this king's child..."

Zhu Yan still didn't give up, he comforted himself that maybe she had a compelling reason, even though she had no feelings for him, but she was willing to conceive a child for him, didn't it prove that he was not hard-hearted towards him...

"no kids"

Chao Lu interrupted Zhu Bian's words.

"You, what did you say?"

Zhu Yan felt as if a big hole had been ripped open in his heart.

"The concubine is not pregnant, that's all a lie that the concubine told you to stay, don't you remember, the doctor has already confirmed that the concubine is impossible to have children in this life, so ah... it is the concubine who lied to you "

"Besides these, what else do you hide from me?"

Everyone present felt a chill from Zhu Yan's words.

Only Zhao Lu smiled softly.

"From the very beginning, from the day the concubine entered the mansion, all of this was destined to be just a big lie"

She came here with a mission, and from the very beginning, the two people's positions were doomed. Whether it was the sharing of weal and woe back then, or the mutual affection for so many years, it was just a means to get close to this man. She may have had Reluctant to give up, there are times when she can't bear it, but she has more important things to protect. Not every female spy will fall in love with their character. For this man who has been with him for many years, she has nothing but pity and a little guilt in her heart. It is also the real reason why she has not been pregnant for many years.

Sima Yi listened to it and was really touched. As expected, there is an old saying that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she likes to lie.

"Hehehe..."

Zhu Yan suddenly laughed in a low voice, suddenly jumped up and strangled Chao Lu's neck, his expression was ferocious and terrifying, and the guards did not dare to step forward, fearing that the wrong hands would hurt others, not to mention that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting here, did not say anything to let him go. They stopped it with their hands.

Zhao Lu grabbed Zhu Bian's hand, her face was flushed red, panting, her expression was in pain, but she didn't struggle, she just looked at Zhu Bian calmly, her eyes revealed relief.

Scenes from the past kept flashing in Zhu Bian's mind, which made his expression even more painful. He has always been pretentious, but he didn't want to suffer such a big setback in female sex. Even now, he can't ignore the deep feelings in his heart The resentment keeps pouring out.

Sweat covered Zhao Lu's face, panting heavily, she was holding her nose and sitting on the cold ground still feeling lingering fear, she took a deep look at Zhu Bian, she didn't understand why he would let her go, it's not like his temperament.

But Zhu Yan never looked at Zhao Lu again, he walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and knelt heavily on the ground.

"I have committed this heinous crime today, and I am willing to bear all the charges. I only hope that the father and the emperor will spare this woman's life for the sake of the mother. I am grateful."

Looking at Zhu Bian who was kneeling not far away, Zhao Lu showed a moving expression for the first time since entering this hall.

Are you affectionate?Maybe there is. After all, he has been serving him for so many years, and he has loved her for so many years. Such a long time is enough to keep her in his heart. Everything he does comes from his own greed. She may have done something , but if he hadn't thought about it in his heart, he wouldn't have come to where he is today. He doesn't hate this woman, but he just doesn't want to see her again.

All the beauty, when the truth is revealed, instantly turns into an ugly trap.

Sima Yi walked up to Zhao Lu and lowered his voice.

"As long as you are willing to hand over the antidote, I will let my father let you live. The third brother treats you so sincerely. I wonder what you can do for him at this time? As for the people behind you, as long as you are willing to take refuge Gu, Gu will definitely protect your safety, you might as well think about it!"

After speaking, Sima Yi stood up and walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

His condition had always been a mystery, and now he finally had a clue.

Sima Yi walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and whispered something in his ear. After Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a few moments, he finally nodded.

"I didn't expect that the old Zhu's family would have a love like you. Being played and applauded by a woman really lost my face. If it wasn't for the prince's pleading, I would never let this woman go. As for you , dare to rebel against the palace, I still have to think about how to deal with you, and temporarily put you in the prison of the Ministry of punishment, waiting to be dealt with."

Zhu Bing glanced at Sima Yi gratefully, and was pushed away by the guards. From now on, he is no longer the distinguished Prince Gong.

Zhao Lu's eyes followed Zhu Bian closely all the time, but he never looked at her again. The life that had been entangled for many years parted ways at this moment, and Zhao Lu was so deeply aware of this.

After she was also taken away by the guards, she was still a little absent-minded.

After the follow-up matters were dealt with, Sima Yi turned back to the East Palace, and the morning court time was about to begin.

In fact, such a big incident happened in the palace, and the maids and eunuchs were a little panicked. Fortunately, the chief eunuch Meng Gongan calmed people down, so when Sima Yi came back, everything was in order as usual, and Sima Yi did not hesitate. He gave him an appreciative look, making Eunuch Meng's old face smile like a chrysanthemum.

"Congratulations Your Highness, Congratulations Your Highness"

Eunuch Meng graciously poured tea and water for Sima Yi, and he was very excited. The crown prince's meritorious service in escorting him this time will definitely earn points in His Majesty's heart. Even he, who served the prince by his side, felt honored.

Sima Yi also felt happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face like Eunuch Meng, so hearing what Eunuch Meng said made him very happy too.

At the beginning, he didn't suspect the third brother Zhu Yan, but the imperial doctor said that his body had been eroded by drugs, but he had already changed everything in the dormitory, and the diet around him was always in charge of his confidantes, so it caused this The reason for this is that there must be something else that he has overlooked.

Until one day when he was reviewing the memorial, he vaguely smelled a special fragrance from the ink. This fragrance was covered by graphite, so ordinary people could not detect it at all, but it was a pity that Sima Yi was not an ordinary person. He told him to call Li Ji over quickly, but it turned out that there was no toxin in the ink at all, and the fragrance might be due to the inkstone itself.

If it wasn't for Li Ji's sudden arousal to check the pen he used... the real penis can only have special effects when these two kinds are mixed. Li Ji told him that the pen holder of the pen in his hand was made After soaking it for a long time, he ordered Eunuch Meng to take out all the pens he used on weekdays for Li Ji to check. Sure enough, every pen had a secret.

This pen, ink, paper and inkstone are things he must use every day, so the people behind the scenes have spent a lot of thought, Sima Yi thought coldly.

It is difficult to trace the source of this money, but this ink was definitely prepared for him. Sima Yi looked through the account books of the Eastern Palace for many years, and found that most of the ink came from Prince Gong's Mansion, which is somewhat shocking.

Li Yuanji's death is still vivid in his mind. Sima Yi did not expect that the one who attacked him this time would be the younger brother of a compatriot. Perhaps with a lot of suspicion, Sima Yi sent many people to monitor the actions of Prince Gong's mansion. Instead of waiting for a rabbit today, many unnecessary casualties were reduced.

"I didn't expect Prince Gong to do such a thing. If the former empress knew about it, I don't know how sad it would be."

Eunuch Meng sighed. He grew up watching these highnesses. He never thought that times have changed and people are different. As he gets older, he likes to recall the past more and more. He thinks about the days when the queen was still there. The relationship between the Highnesses is so good, it was really a good time, but now thinking about it, it is embarrassing.

"Lonely, I feel that there is something hidden in it."

Sima Yi tapped the wooden table with his fingertips, his eyes were a little more thoughtful.
