Even Ru Yue was dragged along by Liu Xi and she said, "Let's go check it out as well. I'm already breaking out in a cold sweat from shouting so much at night."
Lian Ru Yue pursed her lips and calmly thought about it as she followed. Xiao Zhen Hai and the empress were right. The Eastern Palace was always calm. There must be a reason for why they suddenly appeared tonight.
According to the time in his previous life, the crown prince had rebuilt himself in just a few days. Had something like this happened tonight before the reestablishment of his previous life?
While they were thinking, the group had already arrived at the Eastern Palace Clan's entrance.
Lian Ruyue looked up. In the darkness of the night, the entire Eastern Palace Palace was like a haunted house shrouded in darkness. A gloomy and cold atmosphere revolved around the surroundings.
"royal father! Your son is innocent! Your son is wrongly accused. " The crippled Crown Prince Feng Ming shouted and actually started crying with a sad and shrill voice.
"Open the door!" At the emperor's command, the doors of the palace slowly opened.
As soon as she entered, the Queen felt her vision darken. If not for holding on, she would have fainted on the spot.
The emperor looked up and saw the crippled Crown Prince Feng Ming climbing up a tree. Feng Ming held tightly onto the trunk of a tree with both of his hands and shouted loudly towards the direction of the Hall of Rongyuan. He was dressed in plain clothes, his hair was messy, and stubble was all over his face.
As for the good-for-nothing Crown Princess, Chu Zhe, she was lying under a tree with her eyes wide open. Her eyes seemed to be lifeless and lifeless. Three bloody wounds could be seen on her bare arms, and blood was flowing out.
The entire scene looked extremely shocking, causing everyone to suck in a cold breath.
"Royal father, it's an injustice, Royal father!" Feng Ming was still riding on the tree trunk, holding onto the branches and shouting like a dying beast.
Everyone watched in fear, wondering if the crippled crown prince was bewitched, or had he gone mad?
Unlike the others who were looking at the crown prince, Lian Yue's gaze quietly fell on the crippled Crown Princess, Chu Zhen. She remembered that the Crown Prince's wife from the Chu Clan, Chu Zhen, was intelligent, capable, and had a deep scheming mind. She had helped the crown prince for many years, but because the crown prince was not able to live up to his expectations, he was still unable to escape from being crippled twice.
"Your Majesty, the crippled crown prince is …" You must be possessed! " Xiao Zhenhai said.
Lian Ruyue's gaze once again fell on Feng Ming's body. In the dark night, her gaze was like a lone wolf in the wilderness; it was exceptionally sharp!
The Crown Prince was infected? Hehe, I'm afraid he's just pretending to be crazy!
"Duke of Xiao, the Emperor has the body of the Son of Heaven. Any monsters and ghosts will be unable to hide themselves from the Emperor. Where did the evil come from?!" How could he allow the Duke of Xiao to act alone in front of the Emperor? Even Yan Qing joined in.
The emperor pursed his lips and frowned. "Men, put down the crown prince."
"Yes sir!" Several guards climbed up the tree in a flurry, but Feng Ming acted as if he had seen a ghost. He hugged the tree trunk tightly and used his feet to kick at the guards before finally being tied down from the tree with great difficulty.
When he saw the emperor, he first stared at his father in disbelief, then hastily pulled up Chu Zhe who was on the ground to stand in front of the emperor, and said in a trembling voice, "Father, you're here! There's a ghost that wants to eat your son, save your son, save your son, save your son!"
The empress's heart ached as she wept. Her son, the crown prince who used to be one man but was superior to everyone else, had now become like this.
"Your majesty, what do you think happened tomorrow?"
"What exactly is going on? It's fine, why are you so mad? " When the emperor saw Feng Ming going crazy, he asked Chu Zhe, who was still sober.
Chu Zhen's face was covered in tears, she knew clearly in her heart that this was his only chance!
She kneeled on the ground and said, "Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, I, I don't know what happened. His Highness had been fine all this time, copying the scriptures every day, but these days, for some reason, he suddenly changed his appearance, always saying that he could see ghosts, see the ghosts of those who harmed him.
Your Highness hurt me again. He said that the tree was very tall, and the people and ghosts that caused him to be unable to climb it. He wanted to climb it and call for Father to come and save him. "
Chu Zhe seemed to have a face full of fear as he told everything that had happened in the past few days while shedding tears.
Lian Ruyue's eyes fell on the bloody wound on Chuzhe's arm. She noticed that there was a hairpin on the ground. There was blood on it. It was obviously the one that cut her arm.
"Ming'er …" The queen's knees gave way, and she closed her eyes tightly as two streams of tears rolled down her face.
"Your majesty, did Your Highness get infected by the Lich Gu?" It looks extremely similar! " At this moment, the eldest son of the Xiao family, Xiao Shan, suddenly asked.
Some of the others immediately echoed him. "It seems to be true. It's as if they have their souls controlled and are doing some strange things."
The Emperor frowned, Magus Gu? This was one of the biggest taboos in the palace, and also one of the biggest taboos to Zhou Chengdi! The so called voodoo Gu technique was to make a little puppet out of Tong Mu. It would write the name of the cursed person on it, "Birthday" and so on, and then cast magic and curses. It was said that after this type of magic, the soul of the cursed person could be controlled or absorbed.
Was someone doing this in the palace?
"Your Majesty, the voodoo Gu technique is really harmful and cannot be forgiven. This general would rather believe it. Why don't we investigate it one by one?" Xiao He went forward and said.
Chu Zhen's face revealed an expression of anticipation, but his eyes were quickly sizing up everyone who spoke. His mind was also quickly calculating …
Originally, she was only trying to encourage Feng Ming to play the fool and see if he could escape. However, she seemed to have caught a whiff of a conspiracy. Someone was trying to use the crown prince and her!
Then she would just … be the one to pull it off!
She gritted her teeth and slammed her head against the ground three times. "Imperial Father, Imperial Mother!" His Highness had already realized his wrongs, he truly knew his wrongs. He deeply felt that he had let down his Imperial Father's nurturing, and had let down his mother's grace. We naturally do not dare to have any extravagant hopes, but there are people who are unwilling to let go of our lives. We beg our royal father and mother, for the sake of the fetus in my womb, to save Your Highness' lives ah. "
"Are you pregnant?" The Queen's heart skipped a beat as she asked.
"Yes, Imperial Mother." She was dressed in plain clothes, and there was not a hint of light left on her body. Her beautiful face was also covered by a dark expression.
"Your majesty, please ask the imperial physician to come over first and take the imperial concubine's pulse." The Empress said to the Emperor, who acquiesced.
Then, a palace maid walked over and helped Chu Zhen up.
The emperor's cold gaze lingered for a week before he gave the order and said:
"Jiang Keji, send people to guard the gates of each palace. No one is allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to move. Search the palace immediately!" The so-called searching the palace meant searching every nook and cranny of each palace.
"Yes sir!" The leader of the imperial palace, Jiang Keji, quickly organized a search operation to search the palace.
On the other hand, the Emperor once again stepped into the Imperial Palace. Everyone was waiting for the results of the search. The entire hall was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
