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

After realizing this, the corners of the prince's mouth curled up in a sneer.

"It seems that the prince really can't wait any longer. He is so bold that he actually attacks Zhu Feng directly. Doesn't he know that Yuwen Honghao will never let it go after learning that Zhu Feng is in trouble?"

Hearing this, the confidant around him showed a puzzled expression and asked in confusion.

"Since the Crown Prince knows the consequences of all this, how dare he do such a thing? Once the Crown Princess dies, the Prime Minister will definitely not let it go. But he insists on doing this. Could it be that he has some plan?"

Regarding this matter, the king's uncle also thought about it carefully and found it very strange.

According to the prince's character, it is unlikely that he would do such a reckless thing. Such behavior is indeed a bit strange.

After thinking for a while, the prince narrowed his eyes and had some guesses in his mind.

"Perhaps, the prince has other plans and intends to take action first, so this is the case."

After hearing this, the subordinates raised questions.

"But Ying'er and Zhang Lai didn't inform you about this matter. Is there something wrong? Could it be that these two people betrayed us?"

The prince did not say anything, but thought about the matter carefully and felt that the possibility was relatively small.

No matter what, I still have to go there in person to see what is going on.

And so, the prince's uncle went to the prince's side.

Seeing him coming, the prince was a little surprised. He didn't understand what he wanted to do after not having been here for a while.

In fact, there is no need to guess about many things, and you know what he is thinking.

But even so, the prince still pretended to smile and spoke.

"My uncle hasn't been here for a while, and I don't know what he's been busy with. Could it be that he's busy with something else?"

When asked, it was naturally impossible for the king's uncle to tell the truth, so he made up an excuse to get away with it.

"It's just some insignificant little things. I just don't know how your plan is going. Haven't you planned to take action yet? You know, you are the crown prince. Do you want to give up the throne to a woman?"

The prince found it very interesting that he actually used such words to test him.

"I still need my uncle's help for this matter. If my uncle is unwilling to lend a hand, I will definitely not be able to fight her alone. After all, with that old guy Yuwen Honghao around, I won't be able to take advantage of her!"

A smile appeared on the prince's face, but he was sneering in his heart.

Both of them were testing each other, and they both knew what the other was thinking, but neither of them took the challenge, and instead used such excuses to shirk responsibility.

After saying a few words, the prince's uncle found an excuse to slip away.

Seeing the man leave like this, Zhang Lai walked forward and whispered softly in the prince's ear.

"Your Highness, I have learned something."

His mysteriousness made the prince curious. He wondered what had happened and why he was so mysterious.

"whats the matter?"

After looking around and making sure there was no one around, Zhang Lai spoke slowly.

"It's about the Crown Princess. She..." Before he could finish, the Crown Prince immediately became anxious and asked.

"Is she ready to take action? Or has that old guy Yuwen Honghao already started preparing?"

Zhang Lai shook his head and explained.

"No, the Crown Princess came back from the Imperial Mausoleum. On the way back, she encountered an assassination attempt and was seriously injured. She is currently recuperating and cannot come out for at least half a month!"

After these words were spoken, the prince's face was full of doubts and he asked in confusion.

"How could she have been attacked out of nowhere? As far as I know, when Zhu Feng went to the Imperial Mausoleum, she brought a lot of people with her. Not only that, but the Ten Swordsmen were also with her. She has also been promoted to the Land Immortal Realm. How could she not be able to protect a woman?"

Zhang Lai shook his head and explained.

"I don't know the truth about this matter. I even asked the imperial physician and learned that the situation is indeed critical. I heard that the enemy had set up an ambush early in the morning and made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, which is why someone was injured!"

"We were originally planning to kill them, but the Ten Swordsmen took care of them and saved Zhu Feng's life. Otherwise, he would not have come back alive!"

After learning about this, the prince did not rush to express his opinion, but thought for a while before speaking slowly.

"I find this matter a bit strange. My uncle is a cautious person. How could he suddenly do such a thing? Killing Zhu Feng will not benefit him in any way. Instead, it will help me. How could he be so willing to help me?"

After a pause, he spoke out his thoughts.

"I suspect this might be a deliberate trick by Zhu Feng!"

Zhang Lai knew very well what kind of person the prince was, and added.

"It shouldn't be fake. The Prime Minister has already sent people to investigate vigorously, and even mobilized a lot of troops. It doesn't seem to be fake!"

The prince, who had just begun to understand something, was completely bewildered after hearing these words. He had no idea what was going on.

When he was confused and puzzled, Zhang Lai expressed his bold guess.

"In fact, I think this might be the work of the King's uncle. He seems to have been keeping his troops inactive, but he has actually planned everything. After getting rid of the Crown Princess, he will immediately take action against Your Highness. In this way, he will have the opportunity to succeed to the throne."

The prince also had some plans in mind and thought it was possible.

If that is the case, then it was the king's uncle who did it.

Zhu Feng on the other side was eating grapes leisurely.

All of this was planned by her, just to watch the king's uncle and the prince fight each other.

Now that her plan has been accomplished, she can naturally do her own thing leisurely.

However, Shijian was still a little worried about this matter.

"I'm afraid the prince and the crown prince are not so easily fooled. They are both cautious people with deep thoughts. How could they think that the other party would be so bold as to do such a thing?"

Zhu Feng smiled and slowly began to explain.

"In fact, this is what I took advantage of. I know they are cautious people. It is precisely because of this that they feel that the other party will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. In this way, it is easier to provoke a dispute between them. There will always be someone who can't hold back first." (End of this chapter)
