The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 33: The Driving Force Behind

 

The Imperial Palace.

 

The imperial study was brightly lit at this time.

 

The palace guards standing outside were trembling with fear, and even though small snowflakes were floating in the sky, they dared not move.

 

The atmosphere inside the imperial study was colder and terribly serious than outside.

 

Emperor Yu had a gloomy face, for no other reason than that the four beggars acted so well that they even fooled him, the emperor.

 

This was a complete disrespect to the royal majesty.

 

“Royal brother, what do you think about this matter?” Emperor Yu first asked King Xian for his opinion.

 

King Xian pondered for a moment and said respectfully, “Those four beggars had obviously been lying in ambush in Qingtian Street, otherwise we wouldn’t have encountered them by chance. As for their target, I think only the Crown prince is their target.”

 

Emperor Yu’s idea of a secret visit was a spur of the moment decision, and no one would have planned it so quickly. He and Princess Xian had not planned to go out at first. It was the Crown prince who knocked on the door and wanted to take Bei Hengjin out to see the lanterns. Unfortunately, his son had fallen asleep.

As they didn’t want to spoil the Crown prince’s fun, they decided to go together.

 

As for those who want to deal with the Crown prince, the answer was obvious.

 

He would not point it out, believing that the Crown prince would make his own decision.

 

At that time, the Crown prince tried his best to stop Emperor Yu from following him. It was because he insisted on finding out what was going on that the accident happened. If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of Lord Ji, I’m afraid that what happened tonight would not have ended well.

 

Some of the assassins were killed, and some committed suicide by taking poison, leaving no one alive.

The expression on Emperor Yu’s face was obscure and difficult to understand. After King Xian finished speaking, he did not give any advice, but instead cast an ambiguous look at the Crown prince.

 

“What does the Crown prince have to say?”

 

Hearing this, the Crown prince was frightened. Father, your tone is not right!

 

Is he doubting him?

 

“Your son thinks that Lord Ji’s appearance is strange.” The Crown prince expressed his doubts truthfully.

King Xian narrowed his eyes: As expected.

 

Emperor Yu’s face showed no emotion, and he asked him, “What’s so strange? Crown Prince, tell me about it.”

 

The Crown prince couldn’t explain it for a while. He just had a suspicion, but he felt that this suspicion was somewhat untenable. It was difficult to draw a conclusion for a while.

 

“I think you are confusing the public. The Ji family is loyal to the emperor and loves the country. How could there be anything strange about this?” Emperor Yu said with a gloomy expression.

 

The Crown prince did not quite understand what Emperor Yu meant.

However, the eyes of King Xian beside him moved slightly. He realized that Emperor Yu intended to test the Crown prince. Sure enough, Emperor Yu gave the answer the next second.

 

“The second son will be at the villa all night.” After a long time, Emperor Yu said this, intending to remind the Crown prince.

 

The Crown prince’s eyebrows moved, and his eyes became dark and unclear.

 

The Second Prince was at the villa all night, so it was impossible for him to participate in the assassination tonight. So this assassination was staged by the Crown Prince himself, intending to frame the Second Prince. At the same time, he also implicated the Ji family in an attempt to remove the suspicion on him.

 

After all, it seems that currently only the Second prince poses a threat to the crown prince’s position.

At this moment, it was not known whether Emperor Yu believed the Crown Prince or believed that the Second Prince really stayed in the villa all night.

 

“I will investigate this matter thoroughly and clear my name.” Obviously, the Crown prince also understood what Emperor Yu meant. His expression was somewhat indescribable.

 

His own father is suspicious of him, no matter who he is, his temper will not be good.

 

King Xian only sighed secretly in his heart. He liked obedient children and liked the Crown prince to take every step according to his settings, without any disobedience or mistakes.

 

“Then I’ll wait for your news.” I want to see what you can find out.

 

Finally, Emperor Yu asked about Bei Hengjin’s injuries.

 

“Your Majesty, thanks to Madam Ji’s miraculous healing skills, the patient has woken up.”

 

“Returning to the Emperor, thanks to Mrs. Ji’s wonderful rejuvenation, he has awakened.”

 

“That’s good. Go back and spend more time with him. That kid showed up at the back door of the Ji residence. He must have wanted to secretly take the youngest child of the Ji family out to see the lanterns. That’s outrageous.”

 

Hearing this, King Xian looked helpless: “Jin’er has recently shown some innocence that a child should have. I am very happy and indulged him a little.” “Well, just discipline him more and don’t let him become spoiled. The youngest of the Ji family is the lifeblood of General Ji and he cannot afford to make any mistakes.”

 

Emperor Yu deliberately emphasized the words “general” and “lifeblood”, believing that the Crown prince was a man who knew what was important.

 

After hearing this, King Xian breathed a sigh of relief for the Crown prince. Overall, Emperor Yu still believed in the Crown prince.

 

When they came out, King Xian saw that the prince looked depressed, so he gave him some advice:”Ah Mo, the Ji family is full of loyal ministers. Since the marquis can take the initiative to hand over the military power, it means that he has no intention of interfering in your fight. Don’t do anything that will disappoint others.”

 

The Crown prince said in a deep voice: “Uncle Wang, you forgot one thing, that is Ji Yushu’s hatred for me.”

 

King Xian was startled and almost opened his mouth.

 

The Crown prince thought of the relationship between Bei Hengjin and the youngest daughter of the Ji family, suppressing the rest of his words, bowed and said goodbye to King Xian.

 

The Crown prince walked quickly, anger all over his face.

 

After returning to the East Palace, he tossed and turned, unable to figure out the problem, and hurried to find the Empress.

 

When he walked out of Fengyi Palace, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

 

He fell into self-doubt. Did Ji Yushu really not hate him? Did the Ji family really not fight with others?

 

He had thought the same thing before, but what happened last night made him have some doubts.

 

He suddenly felt that there was a pair of terrible hands pushing him towards the abyss.

 

At this time, a confidant came and whispered, “Crown Prince, the Second Prince was in the other courtyard last night and was with his concubine all night.” .”

 

The Crown prince frowned slightly frown, but this could not dispel his suspicions.

 

In the dark room of Yuehua Palace, after listening to the old man’s report, the Third Prince couldn’t help but cough up blood, and his sickly pale face gradually became more sinister.

 

He had been planning a lot for many days, but in the end it was a total failure. How could he not be angry?

 

“Master, don’t get angry.” The old man was very worried that the poison in his body would break out.

 

The Third prince said nonchalantly, “Ji Xiaoshan’s appearance is strange, go check it out. And the letter must be recovered.”

 

“I have already sent someone to do it.”

 

After the old man left, the Third Prince lay weakly on the couch. He had started to make plans two years ago, and everything had gone smoothly in the past two years. However, it seemed that after the failure of the baby swap incident of the Ji family’s youngest child, things had not been going smoothly since then.

 

Suddenly, he thought of the time when the Second Prince was defeated at the Full Moon Banquet.

 

He guessed that the Second Prince’s plan at that time was to frame Lu Qingyan, but it was somehow ruined by Ji Yushu.

 

Ji Yushu must hate the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. After all, he found out that it was the Second Prince who sent people to ambush the Crown Prince, which caused his legs to be crippled. Relatively speaking, he wanted to get rid of the Second Prince even more.

 

When the Crown Prince learned that the mastermind behind the incident was also the Second Prince, he did not help him to seek justice, which made the Ji family unhappy.

 

Judging from this incident, the Ji family will not stand on the side of the Second prince, nor will they stand on the side of the Crown prince.

 

Perhaps the Ji family was also planning something, with the goal of using the Crown prince to get rid of the Second prince and avenge Ji Yushu.

 

In Ji Yushu’s opinion, there was no doubt that the killer tonight was sent by the Second prince.

 

His purpose was to make the Second prince and the Crown prince fight each other. Although Emperor Yu did not receive the letter, he was somewhat suspicious of the Crown prince.

 

Without the help of letters, the doubts in Emperor Yu’s heart would soon be dispelled by himself.

 

Not even a ripple.

 

Midnight.

 

The Third prince suddenly woke up from his couch, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead. It was freezing cold outside, but his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

 

He couldn’t figure out why he often dreamed of a woman recently. He hated women and didn’t allow them to be within three steps of him, but this woman appeared in his dreams more and more recently. And every time she managed to get close to him and call him “Yuan” affectionately. Who was she? What did her appearance in his dream indicate?

 

Damn it, damn it, this person deserves to die for trying to disturb his mind.
