In the Eastern Palace.
The Crown Princess Consort, Lady Lu, waited anxiously.
She had already discussed with Fang Xiaoru that there would be ministers in the court today who would jointly impeach Zhu Xu for practicing witchcraft.
Success or failure depended on this move.
Although Lady Lu had already made many preparations, she still couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Thump!" "Thump!" Thump!
A series of hurried footsteps sounded.
A eunuch rushed in.
"Your Highness Crown Princess, something bad has happened! The Brocade Guard came to us after searching the Fifteenth Prince's place!!”
" What?!"
Lady Lu's heart tightened.
"The leader is still the Fifteenth Prince.”
"Ah?"
Lady Lu became even more nervous.
"Your Highness Crown Princess, those Embroidered Uniform Guards are about to arrive.”
"No, don't panic!"
Lady Lu bit her lip hard, suppressing the panic in her heart, and said,"Tell everyone that this matter has nothing to do with us. I'll skin him alive!"
"Go and invite Scholar Fang. Tell him to rush over immediately!”
"Yes!"
Not long after the eunuch went to pass the message.
Zhu Xu had already brought the Embroidered Uniform Guards to the Eastern Palace.
"Surround the Eastern Palace.”
"Yes!"
Two thousand Brocade Guards quickly surrounded the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Zhu Xu pushed open the door of the Eastern Palace and strode in.
At this time, Zhu Biao was still assisting Zhu Yuanzhang in handling government affairs in Yangxin Hall.
The entire Eastern Palace was ruled by the Crown Princess Consort, Lady Lu.
And Zhu Xu was looking for Concubine Lu!
The talisman that cursed the Crown Prince wasn't aimed at Xu Miaojin.
Lu shi had already done such a thing.
Zhu Xu would not be polite with her!
Naturally, he had to end this karma completely!
"Haha, how come Fifteenth Brother has the time to come to the Eastern Palace today?”
When Madam Lu saw Zhu Xu, she forced out a smile and said.
"Crown Princess Consort, do you plead guilty?"
Zhu Xu stared coldly at Madam Lu and asked.
Hearing this, the fake smile on Madam Lu's face stiffened. She then said,"Brother Fifteen, I don't understand what you mean. What crime has this consort committed?"
"Jiang Feng, bring me that cloth bag."
Zhu Xu reached out his hand.
Jiang Meng immediately handed over the cloth bag.
"Crown Princess, do you recognize this thing?”
"Brother Fifteen, this is the first time I've seen this cloth bag.”
Concubine Lu continued to be stubborn.
"But the doll in this cloth bag knows you.”
"Brother Fifteen, you must be joking. How could the doll in this cloth bag recognize me? Could it be that this doll could talk?”
Madam Lu narrowed her eyes. She felt that as long as she was stubborn, Zhu Xu would not be able to do anything to her.
"Oh, really?"
Zhu Xu untied the cloth bag and revealed a few bloody dolls. He then gently threw them to the ground.
"Brother Fifteen, what are you doing?”
Madam Lu frowned slightly. The more she looked at Zhu Xu's operation, the more confused she became.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly ran over.
"Your Highness Crown Princess, Scholar Fang requests an audience.”
"Please!"
Zhu Xu turned his head and saw Fang Xiaoru striding over in a wide-sleeved traditional dress.
"I, Fang Xiaoru, pay my respects to the Crown Princess and the Fifteenth Prince!”
"Scholar Fang, please don't stand on ceremony!"
A smile appeared on Lady Lu's face as she said,""Scholar Fang came at the right time. I don't know why Fifteenth Brother came to my place today, but I'm not good with words.”
"Yes!"
Fang Xiaoru then looked at Zhu Xu and said with a smile,""Your Highness, I wonder what crime you have committed by coming to the Eastern Palace to find the Crown Princess Consort?!”
“.....。”
Zhu Xu glanced at Fang Xiaoru indifferently, then turned his gaze to the dolls on the ground.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is the crown prince of the country and has a noble status. If you interrogate the Crown Princess without evidence, it is a great disrespect to the Crown Prince!”
"And these dolls on the ground actually have the birth characters of the Crown Prince and the Imperial Grandson. Your Highness, please explain. In addition, I've done a lot of research on talismans and can see that the talismans on these dolls are more like poison curses.!!”
Fang Xiaoru's eyes lit up when he saw Zhu Xu ignoring him and the doll on the ground.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes widened.
That was because he saw the bloody dolls on the ground stand up.
At this moment, not only Fang Xiaoru, but Jiang Meng, Xu Miaojin, and Lady Lu were also dumbfounded.
"Go and find your master."
Zhu Xu said calmly.
The dolls immediately bounced out of the hall.
"Jiang Feng, follow me."
“... Nuo!"
Jiang Meng quickly chased after him.
"Don't you want evidence? I'll find it for you now."
Zhu Xu then looked at Fang Xiaoru with a sharp look in his eyes,""However, after I find evidence, I won't let anyone who participated in this matter off.”
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoru felt a chill down his spine, and his hands and feet turned cold.
The means that Zhu Xu displayed really surprised him!
How did those dolls come back to life?!
Fang Xiaoru felt as if he was dreaming. He was confident that even if the witchcraft curse did not succeed, the fact that Zhu Xu had barged into the Eastern Palace and forced the Crown Princess was enough to tarnish Zhu Xu's reputation.
At the very least, it could make him lose his divine favor!
But now, Fang Xiaoru realized that Zhu Xu, the rumored prince who only liked to cultivate, had actually cultivated a spell!
This was a field he was not familiar with at all.
Any of his plans were no longer flawless in the face of this domain!
Jiang Meng returned very quickly.
"Your Highness!"
"Those dolls stopped beside a well.”
Hearing this, Madam Lu immediately clenched her fists.
Fang Xiaoru, who was standing at the side, broke out in cold sweat.
"Send someone down to fish!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Meng immediately retreated.
"Wait! Fifteenth Brother, this is the Eastern Palace! It was not a place where the Embroidered Uniform Guards could behave atrociously!!”
Lady Lu suddenly shouted.
"Oh, then what if I insist on fishing?”
Zhu Xu looked at Lady Lu and asked.
"Where are the Eastern Palace guards?"
Madam Lu slammed the table.
At this moment, she was also forced into a corner.
If he didn't do anything, when the Embroidered Uniform Guards fished out something, everything would be over!
"Yes!"
Hundreds of Imperial Guards rushed out with large strides, all holding sabers in their hands, waiting for orders.
Seeing this, Xu Miaojin immediately grabbed Zhu Xu's sleeve nervously.
"How dare you! The Emperor's decree! To let His Highness the Fifteenth Prince have full authority to investigate this matter, do you want to defy the imperial edict?!!”
Jiang Meng's face turned serious as he stepped forward.
The Eastern Palace Imperial Guards 'momentum instantly faltered.
"In the future, I will inform His Highness the Crown Prince and let His Highness explain this matter to His Majesty. However, if the Embroidered Uniform Guards are allowed to search the Eastern Palace at will, where will the prestige of the Eastern Palace and the dignity of the Crown Prince be?!”
Lady Lu said again.
Hearing this, the Eastern Palace guards regained their momentum and strode forward.
The duty of the Eastern Palace Guards was to protect the Crown Prince, and most of them were elders who had protected the Crown Prince for more than twenty years. To them, protecting the Crown Prince's prestige was more important than anything else!
Looking at the approaching guards, Jiang Meng immediately gripped the hilt of his sword, his face as cold as ice, waiting for Zhu Xu's order.
Even if he had to wash the Eastern Palace in blood today…
Jiang Meng was going to accompany Zhu Xu to the end!
Zhu Xu cast a cold gaze at Lady Lu and was about to raise his hand to touch the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"The Crown Prince has arrived!"
Everyone immediately looked toward the entrance of the Eastern Palace and saw Zhu Biao running in.
At this moment, Zhu Biao was sweating profusely. It was obvious that he had been running for some time, and his hair was messy.
