Many people in the capital were paying attention to Huang Tianzhen's every move. When Huang Tianzhen found out something, they almost knew it.
Manor of Prime Minister
“呯”
Chen Huaijiang, who had hidden his emotions deeply, was also furious at this moment. This was the first time he had smashed a cup.
"Who is it? Who is causing trouble at this time?”
Chen Huaijiang clenched his fists tightly. The accident he feared the most had happened. The imperial court had just taken over the Black Armor Army, and they could not bear to see King Dongwu have any fluctuations.
They were afraid that a little of King Dongwu's emotions would affect the imperial court's acceptance of the Black Armor Legion. Yet, someone had played a trick at this time, involving the Azure Dragon Guard. Was King Dongwu afraid of his temper?
"No, the various factions are not willing to see King Dongwu return the military power to the Imperial Court. They are all forcing King Dongwu to rebel.”
"King Dongwu's attitude has changed, but I can't take the risk, and I don't dare to. I still have to be wary of King Dongwu.”
Chen Huaijiang was not afraid of King Dongwu. He was afraid of the schemes and plots of the various factions. With so many schemes and plots forcing King Dongwu to rebel, it was not surprising that King Dongwu was forced to rebel.
Chen Huaijiang didn't dare to think too much. He quickly got up and rushed to the palace to discuss the plan with the Emperor in case of any sudden changes.
"Your Highness, the Phoenix Guards, Xuanwu Guards, and White Tiger Guards have been urgently mobilized.”
"The Phoenix Guards have reinforced the Imperial City's defenses, and the Xuanwu Guards and White Tiger Guards have vaguely formed a line of defense against the Azure Dragon Guards. Commander Lei Ping sent a message asking Your Highness what your orders were.”
"The Black Armored Army is also in turmoil. A portion of them think that Your Highness will not give the Imperial Court an order to accept them.”
"They think that you're under house arrest by the Imperial Court and that they were forced to issue such an order. A few generals are already prepared to lead troops into the capital to rescue your highness.”
Li Gui lowered his head and reported the information he had gathered to Huang Dongjie.
"Seriously, none of them are worrisome.”
"Tell Lei Ping not to do anything.”
"As for the Black Armored Army, have Elder Bai bring my letter to them. Old General Cheng will know how to deal with the reckless person after reading my letter.”
"As for the rest, I'll talk about it after I finish reading this book.”
Li Gui saw that his master didn't say anything else, so he got up and went to make arrangements.
Imperial prison
Huang Tianzhen walked towards the cell where Lei Ye was locked up.
"Eldest prince, save me. I've been wronged. I didn't kill Princess Zhaoyang.”
When Lei Ye saw Huang Tianzhen's figure, he knelt down without saying anything.
The only one who could save him now was the eldest prince. If even the eldest prince gave up on him, then he would really die unjustly.
"You said that you were wronged, so can you tell me?”
"Why is there a fragment of your jade pendant in the corner of Princess Zhaoyang's room?”
"Why did someone see you loitering around Princess Zhaoyang's residence?”
"Why is the weapon that killed Princess Zhaoyang in your room?”
Huang Tianzhen was sure that someone was using this matter to plot against his father, but he needed evidence to solve the case. He also hoped that Lei Ye was framed.
"Crown Prince, I have no memory of what happened in the morning two days ago. At that time, I didn't know who knocked me out. When I woke up, I realized that a small piece of my jade pendant was missing.”
"At that time, I couldn't find out who knocked me out, so I let it go.”
"Who would have thought that after that, the soldiers would barge into my residence and even find the weapon in my room.”
"Seeing the blood-stained weapon, I was also dumbfounded. I didn't know that the weapon was hidden in my room.”
Lei Ye felt that he was really wronged. Even if he was framed, he shouldn't be framed like this.
"Then how do you explain when others see you loitering around Princess Zhaoyang's residence?”
Huang Tianzhen continued to ask.
"Crown Prince, there are many people who know how to disguise themselves. If someone wants to frame me, it's not difficult to disguise myself and kill Princess Zhaoyang.”
"If I'm the real murderer, why would I stupidly hide the weapon in my room? Is it difficult to find a place to destroy the weapon?”
"If I wanted to kill Princess Zhaoyang, why didn't I hide my face? I was foolish enough to wander around Princess Zhaoyang's residence with my real face and was seen by many people.”
"Let's not talk about the jade pendant. First Prince, it's so obvious that you're framing me. Someone wanted to use this opportunity to plot against your father.”
People with some status generally did not have stupid children. Other than being influenced to grow crooked, most of them were very smart.
Lei Ye had also thought about who would be affected by framing him. After calculating, he almost knew where he was.
However, he did not expect the pot to fall from the sky when he was sitting at home.
"Who do you think is most likely to frame you?”
Huang Tianzhen realized that Lei Ye was very smart and decided to ask.
"Crown Prince, how would I know who framed me? If I was that smart, I wouldn't be here.”
Lei Ye looked at Huang Tianzhen bitterly.
"Why don't you commit suicide? Make it look like you committed suicide out of fear of punishment. You will bear everything. This will be beneficial to both your father and my father.”
Huang Tianzhen looked at Lei Ye quietly, and Lei Ye also looked at Huang Tianzhen in a daze. Suddenly, the air was silent.
"What a joke. Just stay here. If we find evidence, we'll let you out.”
Huang Tianzhen turned around and left.
Lei Ye looked at Huang Tianzhen's back in shock. He really wanted to ask Huang Tianzhen if he really wanted him to commit suicide and pretend that he committed suicide to avoid punishment if he couldn't find any evidence.
Lei Ye lowered his head and gritted his teeth. The eldest prince was right. There was really no other way.
If he committed suicide and took over everything, his father and King Dongwu would have a better life.
Huang Tianzhen stood in front of his house's main gate with a complicated feeling. He thought about the recent events and felt that his father was under too much pressure.
Thinking of his father's difficulties, he decided to go home and share his worries with his father.
"You're here."
After Huang Dongjie finished reading the last page of the book, he realized that Huang Tianzhen had arrived.
He didn't make any unnecessary expressions or movements. He put down the herb book in his hand and curiously sized up his son. Why was he looking for him?
"Are you getting old? Why are you only reading these useless books?”
Huang Tianzhen looked at his father, who looked like a retired old man waiting to die. He was even more miserable than an old lion without claws.
He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He didn't know why he said such a thing.
"It's not nice, but why do I feel like you care about me?”
For some reason, Huang Dongjie revealed a comforting smile.
"Father, what's wrong? Why have you changed so much recently?"
Huang Tianzhen asked in confusion.
"People change. Just think of it as me figuring out some things.”
"Stop asking boring questions. Just tell me what you want.”
Huang Dongjie gestured for him to get to the point.
"Father, you should already know about the situation outside. I want to know what you will do next.”Huang Tianzhen asked.
"What do you want me to do?"
Huang Dongjie didn't answer. Instead, he asked.
"I don't know."
Huang Tianzhen answered honestly.
" A 'I don't know' means that you've thought a lot and have a lot of concerns. You know how to think about my difficulties and problems from my perspective.”
"Not bad, you have grown a little. Although it is just a little, I am still very pleased.”
Huang Dongjie patted Huang Tianzhen's shoulder and said.
