In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Chapter 473 The second prince is stupid

"Ao Bing, why is it you?"

"Why are you pretending to be my royal brother? What are your intentions?"

"Where is my royal brother? Where is he?"

……

Seeing that it was the second prince's bodyguard, Princess Huai'an was no longer afraid. She rushed over and asked a bunch of questions.

But Guard Ao kept his head lowered and didn't say a word.

The emperor's face was gloomy and he waved to Pang Shou.

Pang Shou immediately stepped forward and dragged Ao Bing aside for interrogation.

Although he was tortured to the point of dying, Ao Bing still gritted his teeth and did not confess a word.

In the end, Ling Chu used the mantra, and Ao Bing revealed the matter.

"Ao Bing, are you good at ventriloquism?"

"Yes."

"Who asked you to pretend to be the second prince?"

"It's His Highness the Second Highness."

"Where did the skull, talisman and hair on your body come from?"

"It was made by Taoist Priest Wuwei of Ziyun Temple."

"Why did you hold the Queen Mother hostage?"

"His Second Highness knew that the emperor had returned to the capital, and ordered his subjects to use the disguise Gu, and ordered them to kidnap the Queen Mother."

"Where is the second prince now?"

"I don't know."

It seemed that the second prince had been prepared for such a day.

In order to seize the throne, a lot of planning was done.

Ao Bing had been guarding the second prince for more than ten years and was extremely familiar with his words and deeds. His body shape was similar to his and he was good at ventriloquism. It was not difficult to imitate the second prince.

In addition, Taoist Master Wuwei used spells and the second prince's birth date, hair, and blood essence to move his soul into the skull, and then took the disguise Gu.

If it hadn't been for the encounter with a few masters and disciples of Xuan Yi, no one would have been able to see through the second prince's plan in a short period of time.

Ao Bing was given a mantra to answer all questions.

It's a pity that he is just a tool and does not know the whereabouts of the second prince.

"Is it possible that Princess Jiashan can figure it out?"

This naturally did not trouble Ling Chu.

After the emperor secretly returned to the capital, he immediately sent heavy troops to guard the four city gates. The second prince must still be in the city at this moment.

"Miss Han, but..."

Seeing Ling Chu looking at the hexagram, the head of Huai'an County felt panicked and wanted to ask her if she had figured it out, but thinking of what the second prince had done, he bit his lower lip again.

"Back to the emperor, the second prince is in Nancheng."

In order to seize the throne, the second prince did not hesitate to kill his father and brother. Naturally, the emperor did not want him to escape from the capital.

Immediately ordered Pang Shou and King Dingyuan to lead troops to Nancheng.

In order to ensure that the second prince could be caught as soon as possible, the emperor originally planned to let Ling Chu go with Pang Shou and others.

But he was stopped by Master Xuan Yi.

"Your Majesty, this disciple, Pindao, is a girl after all, and has a weak body. If he faints along the way, he will definitely miss the mark. It's better to let..."

Master Xuan Yi originally wanted his eldest disciple to go, but Qingfeng suddenly interrupted him, "Master, it's better for you to go as a disciple. I'm young and in good health, so I can bear it."

Although there is no family relationship in the Tian family, if the second prince conspires to rebel, the emperor will not keep him. But he is the emperor's son after all.

If one day the emperor regrets getting rid of the second prince, who knows if he will resent Ling Chu.

No matter whether Qingfeng volunteered to lead people to arrest him, he was Prince Rui after all. Prince Rui did not support his ascension to the throne even under the pressure of the second prince.

For the sake of Prince Rui, even if the emperor was angry with Qingfeng, he would not take his life.

Ling Chu knew that Qingfeng was defending herself, but before she could object, Master Xuan Yi had already agreed. The emperor saw that Ling Chu's expression was really bad, but he did not refute Xuan Yi's face.

Seeing Qingfeng leading Pang Tong and them away, Princess Huai'an looked desperate.

His lips moved, but he finally swallowed his words asking the emperor to spare the second prince.

It's not that she doesn't want to plead, but that she knows that no matter how much she pleads, it will be useless.

Although Princess Huai'an has always been arrogant and domineering, she is not completely brainless.

Not to mention that the second prince committed the serious crime of treason, even if this had not been the case, the emperor probably would not have allowed him to live.

Concubine An Xian's affair with Vice Commander Zhao was widely known. To the emperor, it was a great shame and humiliation.

Although there is no evidence to prove that the second prince is Zhao Chuanlin's son, even if there is only a 10% possibility, the emperor will not let the second prince have the opportunity to confuse the royal family's bloodline.

Seeing that the emperor accompanied the queen mother back to the palace, Ling Chu breathed a sigh of relief and could finally go back to the palace to rest.

The original owner was raised by Master Xuan Yi. Ling Chu inherited her body and had already made up his mind to provide for him in his old age.

She planned to ask Master Xuan Yi and Ji Yuan to go to Dingyuan Palace with her, but they were rejected.

"My master and your senior brother are going to the palace. This is the health medicine your second senior brother has prepared for you. Remember to take it on time when you get back. If something happens, you can send someone to deliver a message to the palace."

Master Xuan Yi had already made a decision. Although it was a pity, Ling Chu had no choice.

The emperor has always wanted to make Xuan Yi the master of the country. Now that he has come to Kyoto, the emperor will definitely let him enter the palace.

After everyone left, Ning Chuyi walked over and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back home."

Hearing the sound, Ling Chu suddenly came back to his senses.

When she saw her master and brothers, she actually forgot about Ning Chuyi.

Fortunately, Ning Chuyi had a good temper and was not unhappy after being left out. He sent Ling Chu to the door of Dingyuan Prince's Mansion before leaving.

Before leaving, he said softly, "Go back and have a good rest. In two days, I will come to the prince and princess to propose marriage."

I don't know if it was because he was afraid of Ling Chu's rejection, but after Ning Chuyi finished speaking, he rode away.

Looking at his leaving figure, Ling Chu had a headache.

She is not from this era, does she really want to marry Ning Chuyi?

Although the chance of traveling back to modern times is slim, if she really gets married and has children here, even if she has the chance, she won't be able to go back.

"Chuchu, why don't you go in even after you come back?"

Princess Dingyuan has been worried about Ling Chu's safety since she returned home.

I was restless when I heard the concierge calling and immediately ran out in a hurry.

"Are you hurt?" The princess was afraid that she was injured, so she pulled her hand and looked her up and down.

"Don't worry, concubine, I'm fine. My father has also returned to Beijing."

"Really, that's great."

Both father and daughter were fine. The princess finally felt relieved and took Ling Chu's hand back.

After the princess returned home, she asked the cook to cook many of Ling Chu's favorite dishes.

The princess felt very distressed when she saw that her daughter had lost a lot of weight during her trip to Beijing. Without waiting for King Dingyuan to return to the palace, he directly let Ling Chu eat and then drove her back to his courtyard to rest.

Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju almost went crazy with joy when they saw Ling Chu coming back.

Several maids were busy around her, serving tea and water, asking about her well-being, and carefully preparing hot water.

Ling Chu was already very tired and fell asleep halfway through taking a bath.

Several maids felt distressed and couldn't bear to wake her up. Working together, they carefully helped her out of the bathtub, wiped off the water drops, changed her clothes, wringed her hair, and then put her on the bed.

Lingchu slept until the evening of the next day before waking up.

After getting up, she planned to go to the main courtyard to have dinner with the prince and princess, and by the way, she wanted to ask if the second prince had been caught.

Unexpectedly, the first thing King Dingyuan said was, "The second prince is stupid."
