The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 282 Unexpected News
After resting for the night, Chu Xuan and the others returned to Cangzhou calmly. The city of Cangzhou was still depressed, but it was a bit more popular than when he first came.

Mu Yan said lightly: "Brother Chen, the water in Cangzhou has been poisoned, you should solve this matter."

Mu Chen bowed his head: "Yes, Miss."

After a pause, Mu Chen bowed to Chu Xuan again: "Young Master Chu, please protect Miss well."

Chu Xuan nodded: "Of course."

The members of the Mu family are still very good, at least they don't have the arrogant and defiant aura of the children of other aristocratic families in Kyushu. Chu Xuan doesn't mind giving them a good look.

After returning to his mansion, Chu Xuan received a news that completely caught him off guard: "My lord, we have received news that Prime Minister Zuo colluded with the enemy and treasoned and intended to assassinate His Majesty. His Majesty has issued an order to put Prime Minister Zuo into the prison. The prime minister's house has been ransacked."

Chu Xuan's eyes darkened, and he almost thought he heard it wrong: "What did you say?"

He has only left the imperial capital for a few months, why did he ransack the house?

Zhaohe looked at him sympathetically, and said: "The news came back from the Cangmang Palace that His Majesty was assassinated and injured at the New Year's Eve palace banquet. The imperial doctor found out that His Majesty was poisoned, and the poison was hidden in the gift that the Second Young Master gave to His Majesty. After the palace banquet, Your Majesty has been recuperating for more than half a month, and as soon as he comes to court again, His Majesty will directly issue an order to put Prime Minister Zuo in jail."

Zhao He sympathized with this young master, and worked hard alone to calm the situation in Cangzhou, and was stabbed in the back by His Majesty. Maybe when the situation in Cangzhou was completely stabilized, this young master would be useless.

At that time, for the crime of even sitting, no matter how great the young master's contribution is, he will have to be obliterated.

Chu Xuan was stunned.

Poison His Majesty...

"What is the specific charge?"

Zhaohe said: "Conspire with Emperor Yan to overthrow His Majesty."

Chu Xuan didn't expect his father, who seemed to be loyal to the emperor, patriotic and meticulous, to have such courage.

She always knew that he was not so loyal as shown, but Chu Xuan never thought that he would want to rebel.

After being silent for a while, Chu Xuan forced himself to calm down, and asked while walking towards the study: "Only this?"

Zhaohe hesitated for a moment.

Chu Xuan turned his head to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Zhaohe hesitated and said, "Do you know Concubine Chen?"

Chu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

At this moment, he thought of the portrait in Chu Xiang's study that no one could touch. Could the stunning woman in the portrait be Concubine Chen?
Zhao He could tell by looking at his expression: "In addition to the evidence of collusion and treason, what was found in Chu Xiang's study room was a portrait of the concubine Chen, who kept the portrait of the concubine privately... Young Master?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Sighing deeply, Chu Xuan didn't know what to say for a while, which at least showed that those criminal evidences were true.

He never thought his father would be so bold.

Concubine, the emperor's woman, these courtiers are disrespectful even if they take a second look, how dare he hide the portrait privately?
If he wanted to die, he would drag Hefu to die with him.

Chu Xuan frowned and remained silent for a long time.

The relationship between him and his father has always been at odds. Although he doesn't like it very much, everyone is prosperous and everyone is hurt. If he just looks on so coldly, the world will inevitably think that he will be too cold-blooded and heartless.

Zhaohe said: "Mr. Zuo has pleaded guilty."
