What would the people of Dingzhou think if they knew that the suffering they suffered these days was nothing more than a struggle for power among high-ranking people?

Now that the prince has appeared, it means that the assassination last night was arranged by someone in advance, and there is a high probability that the prince was not harmed.

In this case, it seems that they don't need to pay too much attention to the prince.

Lu Zhiyan walked to the street and saw the prince who was patrolling. Because his identity was exposed, his current state was completely different from before. But his face was pale and he looked like he was frightened.

Even standing so far away, Lu Zhiyan could feel that he was in extremely bad condition.

But while he was watching, Lu Wushuang came out from the side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't look, he was stabbed on the right shoulder, and his face looks like that because he lost too much blood."

In terms of observation ability, Lu Wushuang is still somewhat confident.

"The injury on my right shoulder is not serious. It looks like I had to wrap it up a few layers before going out."

"And there is one more person beside him."

Lu Youyou listened to the third brother's explanation, and her eyes slowly changed from admiration at the beginning to shock.

[Contemporary Conan? This can all be discovered by you! 】

When she was looking at it just now, she felt that something was a little wrong. It was only after he said this that she realized it.

On the surface, the prince should have four people with him, but now it seems to have become five.

Although he didn't understand what Conan was, Lu Wushuang continued to talk about his thoughts, "It seems that someone has taken advantage of the chaos to sneak in. I really don't know what the prince's condition is now. Why is he still showing off despite being injured?"

Lu Youyou didn't understand either, but looking at the prince's somewhat reluctant expression, he guessed that a lot of things had happened after they left last night.

As for why the prince took the initiative to reveal his identity, it seems that we need to investigate carefully.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that something happened to the prince last night, but the prefect next to him looked so happy, it seemed that it had something to do with him.

Lu Zhiyan returned to the inn and waited for news. After a long time, Lu Wushuang came back from outside, but he didn't get any useful news.

"The news has been blocked. The prince has also moved to another place to live. It is said that he can be protected. It is ridiculous."

"Do you know the identity of the inexplicably extra person now? If he is the person arranged by Sheng Jingxuan, should we remind the prince?"

"I didn't even see the prince's face. I only glanced at the few people around him from a distance. Although I know who the extra one is, I don't have any clues. How can I check it?"

Lu Wushuang felt like he had been investigating the case since he solved the case last time. He was originally a Habayashi guard, but now he was working as a detective.

"But I did find this. Look what it is."

Lu Wushuang had been following the prince's group, and after a whole day of watching, he found nothing. Finally, he had a chance to get closer to them, and with quick eyesight and quick hands, he used a flying knife to knock off the purse of the extra man.

Only to find that this was not a money bag at all, it was all filled with spices.

"No wonder it's so light. The sachet has already landed on the ground and this person hasn't noticed it at all."

"Do you think there's something wrong with this sachet?" Lu Zhiyan took it over and looked at it carefully.

"I just thought it was a bit strange for a grown man to have such a sachet on his body, so I wanted to take it down and take a look."

"This is the pollen of a kind of flower. It was used in the palace as a soothing incense. However, if used in large doses, it can cause hallucinations."

Lu Zhiyan hadn't seen such a thing for a long time, so even he was shocked.

"In other words, this person probably came from the palace, so what means to be close to the prince?"

"The queen has arranged a lot of people for the prince, and they should all have tokens. If you come to the prince with a token that the queen only has, the prince will naturally believe it."

He encountered so many things during this period, and the only people he could rely on were the few people given to him by the queen.

"That means that the prince met the assassin, suddenly changed his residence, and suddenly had an extra guard. Coupled with today's abnormal behavior, it was all a series of traps made by them."

When Lu Wushuang heard this, he finally understood. No wonder people said that the palace was full of intrigues, and it was true.

"This person just appeared next to the prince today. The spice prince hasn't used it for too long. You only need to see if this person has a new sachet when the prince appears tomorrow, and you will know his purpose. ."

Early the next morning, the prince patrolled the streets as usual, and sure enough, the guard next to him brought another sachet.

"The style seems to be different, but it seems to be tied a little stronger today."

Lu Wushuang couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering, but looking at Lu Zhiyan's serious expression, he restrained himself.

"It seems that this person is still very cautious. He thought he dropped his wallet yesterday and deliberately hid it in it today."

However, this also proves that the purse is indeed a problem.

"This spice can cause all kinds of hallucinations in people. Although I have made up my mind not to care about the prince's affairs anymore, I should still remind him, right?"

Lu Zhiyan was a little confused, but fortunately, the prince seemed to be in pretty good condition now, and it would take at least ten days and a half for the symptoms to show up on him.

"What kind of hallucinations will it produce?"

"I don't know about this. I've only read about it in books. But since it is a spice banned in the imperial palace, it must be harmful to the human body, and it has been discovered long ago."

Lu Youyou didn't care much about the prince, but what she should care about now was the people of Dingzhou City.

Although she knew that the world in front of her was just a book, it was still a living human life. She did not want to see so many people lose their lives because of the struggle for imperial power.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? You haven't come back to your senses for a long time."

Lu Wushuang noticed something was wrong with his sister first and quickly poked her little face.

"Just leave these complicated matters to the two of us. Don't think too much. There will always be a way to the mountain, and there will always be a solution."

Lu Wushuang has always maintained an optimistic attitude, but if the prince is really killed here, their return may not be easy.

"I'm not thinking about the prince, I just pity the people of Dingzhou City."
