I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

The prince still didn't understand what his uncle meant and was confused.

Seeing that he looked confused, the prince explained with a smile.

"In fact, the method is very simple. We don't need to poison him. We just need to send the incompatible food together, and then we can send Zhu Feng to the west!"

Many foods are complementary and counterproductive, and there will be no problem eating them alone.

But once they meet each other, they will become extremely poisonous. This is the plan of the king's uncle.

After he finished explaining, the prince's eyes lit up and he kept nodding in praise.

"My uncle is really smart. He came up with such a good idea right away. I think this trick is indeed feasible. We can take our time and there is no need to rush!"

The prince shook his head and said in a firm tone.

"It's too late. We have to act quickly. Only in this way can she be attacked without realizing it. If we delay any further, the situation will be troublesome."

The prince nodded, and then asked his trusted confidant Zhang Lai to make arrangements and tell him how this matter should be done.

After the confidant left, the king's uncle gave another reminder.

"After this person comes back, he can't stay any longer. He has to be dealt with as soon as possible!"

When these words came out, the prince's face was full of shock.

"Why? He is someone close to me. He grew up with me. He would never do anything to betray me!"

Seeing that he spoke with such confidence, the prince's uncle shook his head.

"If this thing succeeds, it's fine. If it fails, then they will follow the clues and trace it back to him soon. When it comes to life and death, will he really take all the responsibility regardless of everything?"

"For his own sake and the lives of his entire family, I'm afraid he will confess everything!"

This resulted in silence from the prince. He felt that what his uncle said made sense.

Although he and Zhang Lai grew up together, they still couldn't be sure about such things.

After weighing the pros and cons, the prince nodded.

"Okay, I get it. But after all, we grew up together, so I'll have to trouble my uncle to help me with this matter!"

The prince nodded and accepted it with pleasure.

After Zhang Lai finished everything as instructed, he was stopped by the king's uncle when he came back and was forced to stay in the back garden.

After bringing the person over, the prince's uncle did not rush to take action, but started asking questions first.

"I heard that you were the one who told the prince that he should be on guard against me, right?"

Zhang Lai was very surprised that he didn't expect that he would know this matter. He didn't know whether it was the prince who told him or someone else who told him.

There was no way to deny it, he could only be honest about everything.

"Yes, it was indeed me who told the prince."

After all, the king's uncle's behavior was very abnormal at the time, so he naturally had to give him a reminder to prevent the prince from being confused and deceived!

Seeing that he admitted it, the prince sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"You have followed the prince for so many years, serving him loyally. You probably never thought that you would be abandoned one day, right?"

After hearing these words, Zhang Lai was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that the prince has some idea about me?"

The prince's uncle sighed helplessly, his expression showing some reluctance.

"Actually, I didn't want to tell you, but given the current situation, your fate is predictable, so I can only send you on your way." "However, before you die, I can still tell you the truth, so that you will know the truth. The prince thought that after you did this, if you were exposed, you would betray him, so he wanted to kill you!"

At this moment, Zhang Lai was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

After a while, he came back to his senses, shook his head, and said in a firm tone.

"No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be so heartless and ungrateful. You must have lied to me. You are definitely lying!"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the prince sneered.

"The prince asked me to come here. He said that you grew up together and he couldn't bear to hurt you, so he asked me to deal with it cleanly. Do you think I had to lie to you?"

"Besides, if I wanted to kill you, I could do it at any time. Why would I wait until now?"

Originally, Zhang Lai still suspected that the king's uncle was holding a grudge against him, which was why he did such a thing.

But when I heard him say that, I thought about it and felt that there was some truth to it.

Just as the King's uncle said, there was really no need for him to do such a thing again. It was completely unnecessary.

It was precisely because of this that he began to have doubts in his heart and gradually became suspicious.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lai knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

"Uncle, please save me. It was my fault before. I shouldn't have doubted you. Please give me a chance. I promise I won't do such a thing again in the future."

The prince's uncle shook his head helplessly, his face full of helplessness.

"I can't help you with this. This is something the Crown Prince ordered. Do you think I can disobey?"

These words made Zhang Lai's expression become solemn, but he didn't want to die like this, and he couldn't accept it.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

"Uncle, if you can save my life, I will go through fire and water in the future without hesitation. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you!"

Hearing this, the prince's uncle winked at the attendants around him, and the attendants immediately helped Zhang Lai up.

After staring at him for a few seconds, the prince spoke.

"It's not difficult for me to help you. There's nothing wrong with that. But if I help you, how are you going to repay me? I never help people who have no value."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Lai thought of something.

"I am someone close to the prince. I can find out anything he does in the future. I can be the prince's spy!"

This is what the king's uncle should do. Seeing him say it on his own initiative, I am naturally happy.

"Well, since you said so, I'll give you a chance to perform well!"

When the prince saw his uncle coming, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Uncle, how is it, have you dealt with the person?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Lai walk in.

Zhang Lai also heard what he said. He originally thought that this matter might be a frame-up by the emperor's uncle, but now he is sure that it was indeed the prince who wanted to kill him.

The prince's uncle smiled and answered.

"I know that Zhang Lai and the prince grew up together and have a deep relationship. I couldn't bear to see such a loyal servant get into trouble, so I went to find someone to help him. I also took care of that person. You can rest assured about this and don't need to worry about anything!"

The prince nodded and looked at Zhang Lai who was standing beside him, feeling mixed emotions. (End of this chapter)
