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

Hearing this, the prince vaguely realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Zhang Lai.

In the past, even if the king's uncle did something seemingly well-intentioned, he would always target him and never had the slightest intention of changing his mind.

Now, he took the initiative to help the king's uncle speak, which was really a bit strange.

The prince was suspicious, but he did not show it. Instead, he kept everything in mind calmly.

He understood that without any evidence, no matter how many questions he asked, it would only alert the enemy and would not be of any use.

In this case, I might as well hold off and observe for a while.

Thinking of this, the prince had another idea in his mind and asked curiously.

"Then tell me, why did your uncle do so much?"

Zhang Lai answered respectfully without hesitation.

"Of course it's for His Highness. He has always been thinking about His Highness. This kind of thought is really rare. If it were someone else, there would be no way they could do it!"

The prince nodded with a forced smile, but his eyes became increasingly gloomy.

If he was just suspicious just now, he is now certain that Zhang Lai has been bribed by the King's Uncle. Otherwise, with his character, he would never say such a thing.

But the prince was wondering when did he start to change?
After thinking about it, he had a clear answer in his mind. It was when the king's uncle proposed to poison him that day that he changed his mind.

At this moment, the prince suddenly repented and realized that he had fallen into the trap of his uncle and that he was the stupidest one.

But the prince is not a fool. How could he not retaliate after being targeted like this?
He waved at Zhang Lai, motioning him to come over to him.

Zhang Lai was confused, but he still walked over and stood there honestly.

The prince grabbed Zhang Lai's hand and sighed.

"We grew up together. Although we are master and servant, we are no different from brothers. Last time, my uncle wanted to use your death to frame Zhu Feng. I was terrified, but there was nothing I could do. It was too late to replace him with someone else."

"Fortunately, uncle knew that I cared about you and rescued you. Otherwise, I would have been uneasy day and night. Thanks to you for repaying evil with kindness and not blaming uncle!"

The moment he heard this, Zhang Lai was stunned.

At first, he always thought that the prince was cruel and did such a thing, so he agreed to cooperate with the king's uncle, and therefore he hated the prince.

But now after hearing the prince's words, he realized that he seemed to have done something wrong and misunderstood something.

The more Zhang Lai thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and suddenly he realized that he might have been cheated.

Thinking of this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to admit his mistake.

"Your Highness, this is all my fault. Please forgive me!"

Seeing his actions, the prince sneered in his heart but did not show it on his face. Instead, he frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Hurry up and get up. What's wrong with you? Why are you kneeling down for no reason?"

Zhang Lai did not continue to hide it, but told everything that happened that day and expressed his mistake.

After hearing this, the prince pretended to be puzzled and asked in confusion.

"Why would my uncle do such a thing for no reason? Moreover, his behavior today was very strange. He hated Zhu Feng so much, but he asked me not to touch her. Do you know the reason?"

Zhang Lai nodded and replied.

"It is the King's uncle who is ambitious and wants to obtain the throne. He even wants to use the Queen to deal with Your Highness. His chance will come then." The Prince was a little surprised when he heard this.

He knew that the king's uncle had some ulterior motives, but he never thought that he had such great ambitions and actually wanted to replace him and become the king of the entire Dayan!

"My uncle is really ambitious. It seems that I underestimated him. He is really good at killing someone with a borrowed knife!"

Seeing that the prince was angry, Zhang Lai continued to kowtow and admit his mistake.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness! I was deceived for a moment and believed the lies of the uncle, which almost led to a big mistake!"

The prince sighed, stood up and helped Zhang Lai up.

"Forget it, nothing happened, I won't bother with you too much, but you can't expose yourself now, you still have to contact your uncle, otherwise, you know his character, he will definitely attack you, and then I won't be able to protect you!"

Zhang Lai nodded hurriedly and responded.

"Thank you for your connection, Your Highness. I know what to do."

The prince had a smile on his face. He seemed to be thinking about Zhang Lai, but in fact he wanted him to be his spy.

In this way, the king's uncle can be caught off guard.

At this moment, he no longer had any trust in Zhang Lai.

When everything is settled, he will give Zhang Lai a quick death. There must not be such a traitor around him.

No matter what the reason is, if you betray him, you will die!
On the other side, Jiang Linglong took advantage of the court session to order people to bring up King Yan and the dozen or so grand masters.

The moment they saw it, the officials were shocked and had no idea what was going on.

There were a few people who vaguely knew the inside story, but they didn't say anything.

This matter had nothing to do with them, so naturally they didn't want to get involved in this mess.

Seeing them looking at each other with confusion, Jiang Linglong spoke.

"Yesterday, King Yan led his troops into the palace and forced me to abdicate. What do you think of this matter? Please tell me your thoughts."

At the beginning, no one stood up. Once anyone spoke up to help King Yan, they would definitely be classified as on his side.

He went to impeach King Yan and stood next to Jiang Linglong.

If something really happened to King Yan, it would be fine, but if we let him go, given his vengeful character, he would definitely suffer.

Seeing that no one stood up, Zhao Tong spoke first.

"Your Majesty, King Yan is so audacious. As a royal relative, he actually did such a thing. It is really intolerable. In my opinion, he should be beheaded as a warning to the public to prevent future troubles!"

When these words were spoken, everyone took a deep breath, but someone still couldn't help but say something.

"That's the prince, how can he be beheaded in public? This is disrespectful to the royal family!"

Commander Zhao was resolute in his attitude and showed no intention of changing his mind.

"It is precisely because he is a prince that according to the laws of the Great Zhou, he should be beheaded as a warning to the public, and even his entire clan should be implicated. This is a serious crime. Don't you gentlemen know this? Are you helping King Yan by speaking up? Or are you one of them?"

After hearing what he said, naturally no one dared to speak up for King Yan anymore, fearing that it would bring disaster to themselves and their families! (End of this chapter)
