After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the cannon fodder family went crazy!

"When did you get injured?"

Lu Wushuang was very vigilant. What kind of weapon could hurt the arm exactly, or two parallel wounds?

"While training the eagle, I was injured by the eagle's claws. It has been several days."

This explanation was like trying to hide the truth, and even Lu Wushuang couldn't believe that the assassin was caught so easily.

But before he could react, the emperor had already sent people to suppress the assassin.

The prince heard that something happened here and hurried over from the East Palace, just in time to see this scene.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

The prince didn't know why his guard was pinned to the ground. Just as he was about to plead with the emperor, the guard who was kneeling on the ground suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, this matter is my own idea and has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince."

The more you apply it, the darker it gets.

Lu Wushuang began to wonder if this guard had been arranged in advance. On the surface, it seemed to be excusing the prince, but in fact it made the emperor more suspicious of the prince.

Even if the suspect is caught, the case has not yet been solved.

Let alone this little guard, even if he is really the prince, why would he need to attack a maid serving in the palace of a concubine?

But when she was about to go to trial, the palace maid changed her story again.

"Your Majesty, now that the real murderer has recurred, I can finally tell the truth."

The emperor frowned when he heard this and said, "Say!"

He hates people who hesitate to speak the most. The real culprit has already been caught. The palace maid is willing to tell the story at this time, which already makes him very tired.

"This assassin had been chasing the slave's sister because he wanted to get something that the late emperor left to the concubine."

The emperor naturally knew that if the concubine could still have a place in the palace after the death of the late emperor, she must have something left by the late emperor.

But generally no one would plan anything in the hands of the concubine.

unless……

The emperor's face darkened obviously when he thought of this, and even Lu Wushuang could see that he was really angry.

Moreover, the assassin belongs to the prince, so it is self-evident.

The emperor was really angry now and threw the paperweight at his hand directly. The prince managed to avoid it, but his forehead was still scratched.

No matter how slow the prince reacts, he should understand.

"Father, someone is framing my son, please investigate."

The prince knelt down until he was bleeding, but the emperor didn't waver at all and kicked him aside.

"You are already the prince, and yet you are so dissatisfied! You still want to do it under my nose!"

The emperor was so angry that he didn't care that the prince was seriously injured and even kicked his right hand several times.

The prince gasped in pain, but remained silent, saying nothing except that he didn't know.

"Are you wronged? The person is yours, evidence has been found, and even your own men have admitted it, yet you are still here to quibble."

I don't know if he was tired from kicking, but the emperor finally stopped.

"From today on, the prince will be under house arrest in the East Palace. He will not be able to leave unless summoned!"

The emperor turned his back and sighed in disappointment.

Everyone present did not expect such a result, and they all shut up and did not dare to speak. Lu Wushuang did not know what to do. In just one day, things took a turn for the worse. The prince was also grounded. He did not know what to do. What's better. After all, I have intervened to investigate this case.

Lu Wushuang returned to the General's Mansion in a daze. The case was over and he could finally rest. But what happened today still made him feel a little strange.

"The prince is grounded."

When we returned to the General's Mansion, everyone already knew about this matter.

It's just that they don't know the details yet and are waiting for Lu Wushuang to come back to find out.

"But I feel like the prince doesn't know about it."

Lu Wushuang didn't know whether his inference was correct, but judging from the prince's reaction today, he was most likely unaware.

[Of course I didn’t know this. This was originally planned by Sheng Jingxuan. 】

Seeing that the third brother was so confused, Lu Youyou couldn't help but speak.

Sheng Jingxuan realized that the prince might want to stand up, so he was naturally the first to disagree.

The prince's actions have already affected him, and he must be hit hard before the prince can counterattack effectively.

[I originally thought that the prince could hold on for a while, but he didn't expect to pounce so quickly. 】

Lu Youyou still felt a little disappointed. She thought that the prince could still compete with Sheng Jingxuan for a while, but she didn't expect that it wouldn't work.

"The royal affairs are not something we can control. If it is really related to the prince, then we can only see what the emperor wants."

Lu Jingyuan knew that in the eyes of any emperor, this kind of thing was a major challenge to authority, and he could not turn a blind eye.

It can only be said that the emperor is still keeping the prince under house arrest, which shows that he is not completely convinced yet.

Otherwise, if the prince is taken into custody directly, how can he be placed under house arrest?

Lu Wushuang didn't know if there was something wrong with him during the investigation. He always felt that whenever he encountered the prince's affairs, he would always stand on the opposite side of the prince. He would either stand by and watch, or point the evidence to the prince inexplicably.

I always feel like there is a force somewhere controlling all of this.

[Unfortunately, things are far more than this. Sheng Jingxuan already knew that the prince might cause trouble to him, so how could he stop with just a house arrest? 】

Although Lu Youyou knew that Sheng Jingxuan was responsible, Lu Wushuang had been investigating for so long, and all the evidence pointed to the prince, which was enough to prove that he had been fully prepared.

"It's common for royal children to be grounded. If the prince really hasn't done anything, there's no need to worry. But at this time, it's better for us to wait and see."

Lu Shengqing felt that the emperor seemed to have his own plans, and it was better for them not to speculate.

The General's Mansion once again stood on the sidelines, but Sheng Jingxuan did not give the prince a chance to breathe and took action again.

This time, he stretched his hand directly towards the court.

The minister of the Ministry of official affairs died suddenly at home overnight, causing everyone in the court to feel uneasy.

This time it was not Habayashi Wei's turn to take action anyway. People from the Criminal Department took over the case early, but after checking it, there was still no evidence.

Xingbu seemed to be in the same situation as Habayashi Wei. He had no clue and could only delay.

"Again, no evidence was left. After all, it was a murder case involving a fourth-grade official, and not even a single clue was left."

Although Lu Wushuang did not intervene, he still inquired about some information, but the current situation did not seem optimistic.
