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

The prince did not speak, but stood in the hall with a serious expression.

Zhu Feng? Is that what that bitch said?

After thinking for a while, the prince denied his guess. Although he hated Zhu Feng very much, he didn't believe that she would do such a dirty thing.

With Yu Wen Honghao as her trump card, why should she do this?
This is not only shooting oneself in the foot, but also exposing one's own mistakes. Once the clues are discovered, Zhu Feng will inevitably bear the stigma.

After thinking for a moment, the prince spoke and looked at Zhang Lai.

"You just said it with certainty, and you are sure that this incident was done by Zhu Feng. Why do you have such an idea?"

Faced with the question, Zhang Lai immediately answered.

"Apart from the Queen, who else would have the guts to carry out this assassination? The other party is so bold and reckless, it must be a trap set by the Queen in advance, and it is intended to kill Your Highness!"

The more he said this, the more suspicious the prince became.

The prince already had some guesses in his mind, but he did not show them. Instead, he nodded calmly, with some ideas in his mind.

After thinking for a while, he smiled.

"If that's the case, then I want to see with my own eyes how bold she is."

Having said that, the prince walked out.

When he went out, Ying'er was still lying on the ground, dying.

Glancing at her, the prince spoke.

"Take the man back and have him treated properly by the imperial physician."

Seeing this, Zhang Lai wanted to stop it.

"Your Highness, let's go back and hide first. Maybe the bandits haven't left yet and are still lurking around. It's better to be careful!"

The prince did not answer, but just shook his head, but did not say anything else.

Zhang Lai had never expected the prince to do such a thing, so he had no choice but to go back with him.

After returning, he was sent back to rest.

Zhang Lai frowned, confused, not understanding what the prince meant, but he could only do as he was told.

When the prince's uncle learned that the injured person was not Zhang Lai but Ying'er, he was also a little confused.

"It's really strange, how could such a mistake happen? Could it be that Zhang Lai had other ideas and started to pretend to obey me but secretly disobey me?"

Hearing this, the follower beside him spoke.

"Sir, I think something unexpected must have happened. No matter which of them it is, as long as they can proceed according to the plan, it will be a good thing."

"I think it's most appropriate to let Ying'er block the arrow for the prince. This way, we can gain the prince's trust. As for Zhang Lai, I always think he is a little too weird."

The king's uncle was not worried about this, and his face was full of sarcasm.

"It's just a fence-sitter. He approaches whoever he thinks is useful. This is very normal and there is nothing surprising about it."

"Let's wait and see what happens next. Maybe it will stir up a conflict between Zhu Feng and the Crown Prince, and we can reap the benefits!"

On the other hand, Zhu Feng was shocked when he learned that the prince had been assassinated.

She didn't need to guess, she knew who it belonged to. There would be no other person besides this person. However, his behavior made Zhu Feng unbearable, so she called Yuwen Honghao and went to the prince's residence.

The purpose of doing so is obvious.

When the prince saw Zhu Feng coming, he was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.

"It was the wind that brought the Crown Princess here, and also brought the Prime Minister. Could it be that there is something important they want to discuss?"

Zhu Feng shook his head and explained.

"We learned that you were assassinated, so we wanted to come and see what happened. However, seeing that you are in good health, it seems that our worries were unnecessary."

"Just being able to act in that place, I think the identity of the other party should be extraordinary, and it is more likely that they are someone in the palace. This can explain why the deployment is so thorough. You should be careful."

Zhu Feng didn't say anything extra.

She was just giving a friendly reminder, but whether the prince would listen to her or not, that depended on himself.

Seeing that she was silent, the prince spoke slowly.

"I heard some people saying that you were the one who caused my assassination today. How do you answer?"

Zhu Feng spoke slowly.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to prove anything. If I felt guilty, I wouldn't have to come to see you. Wouldn't this only prove that I have something to hide?"

"Besides, I don't think the other party is here to kill you, otherwise why would they give up so easily? As for the reason, you should think about it carefully yourself, Prince."

After saying this, Zhu Feng took Yuwen Honghao away.

When the two came out of the prince's place, Yuwen Honghao couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, there is still no clear answer to this matter. Are you going to just let it go? But if it is true, it may have a great impact on you. If the prince believes that it was you who did it, it will be terrible!"

Zhu Feng smiled and shook his head, explaining.

"Even if he believes that it was me who did it, he wouldn't dare to do anything. There's no need to worry!"

"Besides, the prince is not as simple as we think. I believe he has some opinions on this matter. As for how he thinks, I don't know."

These words made Yu Wen Honghao frown even harder, and he didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Who is the Queen? The Crown Prince is not as simple as he seems. He is also a scheming person, right?"

In response, Zhu Feng nodded and explained briefly.

"That's right. If he was that kind of simple person, how could he be safe and sound when the prince's uncle targeted him like that?"

"If it were in the past, he would definitely be extremely anxious and would have done something so chaotic that no one could understand."

"But now, he didn't do that. This is enough to explain the problem. He has been playing the pig and eating the tiger all along!"

A smile appeared on Zhu Feng's face. She had not expected that the prince would always hide his true strength.

Perhaps, it was because the king's uncle had charged into battle before him, so he didn't need to do anything but hide himself, and didn't need to take any action at all.

Now that the two of them are incompatible, he has no way to hide any longer. In order to get everything he wants, he must plan carefully and make all preparations.

Thinking of this, Zhu Feng's smile widened. It seemed that this scene was becoming more and more interesting! (End of this chapter)
