Crown Prince's Counterattack

"Presumptuous! What are you doing? This is the prince's bedroom!"

"We are carrying His Majesty's handbook to search the East Palace, so please make it easier for us not to delay our official duties!"

"No, with so many of you barging in, it will definitely disturb His Highness's rest. You can only come in after I have asked His Highness for instructions!"

"We're going in now, unless you want to resist the order!"

"No!"

"Rush in!"

……

There was a lot of noise in the East Palace, the imperial guards surrounded the entire East Palace impenetrably, the inner guards of the East Palace resisted at the gate of the palace, their faces were red when they were arguing with others, and the other side was photographed in the respected position of the East Palace and did not dare to act rashly for a while, the two sides suddenly fell into a stalemate among.

"what happened?"

Jiang Chong walked out of the army frowning. He stood far away and watched the movement here, but he didn't expect that these idiots failed to succeed and failed to go in after stalemate for so long. It is inevitable that things have changed, so Jiang Chong had no choice but to act personally. .

"My lord, they block the door and don't allow us to go in, and we don't dare to go too far."

Seeing Jiang Chong's displeased face, someone immediately came forward to apologize and explain. Jiang Chong gave him a cold look. At this time, he didn't want to waste time on these idiots. The vigilant inner guards outside the door met each other.

"What are you doing?! Do you want to rebel! I hold the holy metaphor in my hand. If your Majesty's affairs are delayed, none of you can afford it, so hurry up and get out of the way!"

There was a little commotion in the East Palace, and many people showed signs of struggle, but thinking of His Royal Highness's strict orders, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up.

Jiang Chong saw that these people looked stubborn and were about to call the guards to rush in, but Sima Yi happened to be late.

"Master Jiang is so powerful—"

Sima Yi walked out from the crowd, with an indescribable sarcasm in his tone, and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. I am here to carry out His Majesty's will. Please forgive me for any offences. I hope His Majesty can make it easier for me!"

Thinking of his plan to be successful, and facing Sima Yi's unkind eyes, the faint panic in Jiang Chong's heart faded away again, and everything will be settled when he rushes into the East Palace.

"Master Jiang actually asked for the emperor's imperial edict. It can be said to be well-intentioned. If that is the case, then please!"

Sima Yi waved away the crowd, his face darkened.

With a secret excitement in his heart, Jiang Chong rushed into the East Palace with people. He had ordered people to hide that thing carefully, and when he led people to dig it out, this high-ranking crown prince will never be seen again. It's time to turn around, so he doesn't need to fear him at all.

Sima Yi stared deeply at this group of people jumping up and down in the East Palace. The incident happened suddenly. He didn't expect that Gongsun Jing's matter had not been resolved yet, and a bigger storm had already hit him.Since he received the news, he has ordered to investigate the entire East Palace thoroughly, but no one can be found. The East Palace is so big that it is really difficult to find the things that were intentionally hidden in a short period of time.

Since Jiang Chong asked for the imperial decree to come, Sima Yi had no choice but to let people disperse, and only hoped that his arrangement would be useful in the end.

Jiang Chong led a group of people to search carefully in every corner of the East Palace, taking advantage of the chaos, he winked at his confidants around him.

After a long time, most of the entire East Palace had been searched. Just when someone wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, there was movement in a remote corner.

"Here! My lord!"

"past!"

A flash of excitement flashed in Jiang Chong's eyes, and he led people to surround him immediately. Sima Yi's eyes flickered, and he followed closely behind.

This is a small corner of the west courtyard. Few people come here on weekdays. When the box was spread out in front of everyone, everyone gasped.

When Sima Yi walked over, he happened to see that the puppet engraved with the Chinese characters of birth date was full of golden needles, shining under the sunlight, but the weird scene made people feel creepy.The art of witchcraft - everyone's eyes couldn't help looking at Sima Yi now, thinking about the movement in the palace these days, smart people know that something big is going to happen in the East Palace!

Jiang Chong stepped forward, picked up the puppet in the wooden box with a solemn expression, his expression changed suddenly.

"This is His Majesty's birthday horoscope. The Crown Prince conspired against him and dared to curse and kill His Majesty. Come! Take His Majesty the Crown Prince down!"

Jiang Chong pointed at Sima Yi angrily, and scolded everyone. Immediately, someone surrounded Sima Yi, and the guards in the East Palace also reacted immediately, protecting Sima Yi in the middle, and staring at the man who wanted to rush. up people.

"Bold, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! How dare you offend me!"

Before Sima Yi could open his mouth, someone stepped forward and wanted to stop the crowd. When something like this happened, their first reaction was disbelief, so they couldn't let someone with a heart hurt His Highness the Crown Prince.

"His Royal Highness, now that the physical evidence is all there, why don't you hurry up and get your people out of the way, and wait for His Majesty's decision."

Jiang Chong looked at Sima Yi proudly. At this time, he didn't need to hide anything. If His Royal Highness was willing to accept his fate and leave with him, maybe the matter would not need to be resolved, but if he resisted, Jiang Chong would be happy to see it It's done.

Sima Yi's deep eyes were full of chills, standing in the center of the crowd, he would never leave with Jiang Chong, once he lost the initiative, he would have to be slaughtered, "What evidence?! I don’t know about this, but someone must be trying to frame Gu, and Gu will explain it to the Emperor himself, so I don’t dare to bother you.”

"Your Highness's words are wrong. This thing was obviously found in the East Palace. Everyone has seen it. How can you frame it! If Your Highness wants to meet His Majesty, please arrest him with your hands up!"

"you--!"

"How is this going?"

During the stalemate, a slightly weak person came out under the careful support of everyone, everyone who saw them retreated, knelt down to salute and greet, Sima Yi also restrained his anger and calmed down again, only Jiang Chong wrinkled He raised his eyebrows, looking a little uneasy.

Ever since the nightmare started that day, Liu Che developed a high fever and became groggy. He moved to the Ganquan Palace to recuperate. Taking this opportunity to convict the crime in one fell swoop, even if Liu Che wakes up by then, there is no room for change in this matter, but what is going on now?Who brought His Majesty here.

"Your Majesty, after a careful search, I found a puppet engraved with your birthday in the East Palace. The prince has ulterior motives—"

At this point, it is impossible to give up halfway. Jiang Chong restrained his distracting thoughts, walked to Liu Che's side, and delivered the searched items to Liu Che's hands, with indescribable anger in his tone.

Because he was worried that things would be irreversible, Liu Che, who received the news, rushed over from Ganquan Palace in spite of his weakness. When he saw the puppet with a gold needle in his hand, Liu Che felt indescribably complicated. His rationality told himself that the prince whom he had brought up and expected from childhood could not be so stupid and vicious, but he couldn't help but think that maybe the prince did just that, and he coveted him to sit on the supreme position.

Liu Che's face was as gloomy as water. Seeing the doll with the golden needle in its hand remained silent, everyone's hearts immediately rose up.

"Prince, how do you explain?"

Liu Che's sharp gaze was locked on Sima Yi's face tightly, and he refused to let go of any expression on his face.

"Father, my son was wronged!"

Sima Yi calmly met Liu Che's questioning eyes. Now that there is no evidence to prove his innocence, he can only gamble on Liu Che's little trust. He just needs to buy a little time.

"No matter what the truth is, this kind of thing was found in your palace, and you can't get rid of it. Before the investigation of the matter is clear, you should not act casually for the time being..."

Liu Che glanced at Sima Yi indifferently, his tone became more indifferent, and with a few words, he grounded Sima Yi in the East Palace.He casually threw away the puppet in his hand. He put aside whether the matter was true or not for the time being. As an emperor, Liu Che immediately realized that this was a good time for him to reshuffle the cards.

Seeing that Liu Che was about to leave, Jiang Chong followed him obediently. Although the prince's grounding was not the most satisfying result for him, from now on the East Palace would not be as good as before. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel complacent. The consequences of offending him and someone else.

The originally noisy East Palace regained its calm as everyone left one after another. Facing the mess in the first courtyard, the indifference on Sima Yi's face made everyone in the East Palace feel even more heavy...

From now on, this East Palace might not be the East Palace of the past.

These days, because of the witchcraft incident, the whole city of Chang'an is full of rumors. I am afraid that it will be involved in this big case. You must know that this is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. When the puppet engraved with talismans came out, there was an uproar.

You must know that the prince's reputation is very good both in the court and among the people. No one believed that the prince would commit such a big crime, so there were countless people who made petitions at once, but Liu Che suppressed them all. With the Prince's prestige, Liu Che's mind became more and more deep.

On the other side, Sima Yi was still trapped in the East Palace, and the magnificent palace became more and more deserted.

"Your Highness, the Hou Mansion has delivered a message."

Sima Yi paused with his fingertips, his eyes darkened.
