Chapter 10, the political arena is in turmoil

I am fine

Who is the person behind the scenes

The truth is hard to believe; his rear was violated, and the incident was recorded using a sound stone.

What have you done to this saintess?

The Crown Prince returned with a cold expression, assisted by Qing'er as he got into the carriage, heading towards the Eastern Palace

It feels as if the soul is being pulled out and roasted over a fierce fire, akin to being tugged by a saw

There is only Zhang Ronghua

Once the crown prince is deposed, with their power, as long as they plan well, it is possible for them to ascend to the position of crown prince.

The Tenth Prince was left with a runny nose, tears streaming down his face like a dam that had burst, in a pitiful state: "I truly know nothing!"

The vast machinery of the state operates at high speed

Withdraw your gaze

In less than a quarter of an hour

Only the tenth prince's twin sister, Princess Anping, has disappeared. According to information obtained from the palace, she disguised herself as a young eunuch and secretly slipped out of the imperial palace one day prior.

The Crown Prince is only ranked ninth and has not been established as the heir apparent; he is merely the Ninth Prince. There are eight elder brothers ahead of him, and among the younger princes, there are also several whose maternal families hold significant power

Rubbing his head in pain, he cursed inwardly, "The Summer Emperor is truly despicable! Why did you have to bear so many princes for no reason? Couldn’t you just throw them against the wall?"

The Summer Emperor has many princes, and there are quite a few who are powerful and influential

But gradually, he realized that nothing had happened

The mother of the Tenth Prince, Consort Wan, is imprisoned in the palace, with a strict edict prohibiting her from stepping outside even a single step. All the palace maids and eunuchs around her have been taken down, and powerful guards are stationed around the palace.

This saintess is not the useless waste of the Tenth Prince. Whatever means you have, feel free to use them. If you can make me concede even a single word, then you may consider yourself capable

Although these three punches did not kill him, they were even more terrifying than death, breaking his ribs and rendering him a cripple, unable even to stand.

Lead a squad of Dragon Guards to escort the Tenth Prince and the Saintess of Tianyin back to the Eastern Palace and pry open their mouths

Although the message was blocked, it still spread

The True Dragon Hall dispatched a powerful individual to the ruins of the Tianyin Sect, tasked with eliminating them

A great uproar arose at the higher echelons, and some astute individuals, recalling recent events, sensed a portent of an impending storm. They immediately cautioned their subordinates to be more careful with their words, advising that not a single word should be mentioned that ought not to be spoken

The courage has returned, but during the time with the maid, I couldn't muster any interest at all, and unexpectedly sought out a pretty boy

Some individuals hurriedly relayed this message to those behind them, urging them to prepare in advance. The remaining individuals took over the detention task from Ma Ping'an, and under the supervision of a team of Jiaolong Guards, escorted the people from the residence of the Tenth Prince to the Ministry of Justice's prison

Arrive at the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Sound

He was afraid, but he had no choice

Her silver teeth have already been shattered to prevent her from biting her tongue to death

Cousin! Zheng Fugui rushed over, looking at him with a concerned expression

The Seven Cuts of Soul Destruction were unleashed, striking heavily upon her bones, ensuring that every single bone in her body was attended to with great force

The Tenth Prince hesitated, contemplating whether to speak up. Before he could make up his mind, two large slaps came crashing down.

He was rewarded with a chestnut, and he immediately became obedient.

Zhang Ronghua sat down on the chair, took the tea poured by his cousin, pressed the tea lid against the tea, and began to drink leisurely and contentedly

Wave your hand and let the Dragon Guard take him down

"Go to the palace with the lonely one!" said the Crown Prince

Upon leaving the Xuanhe Hall, Zheng Fugui approached from the side, lowering his voice: "Cousin, what did the Crown Prince bestow upon you?"

Reflecting on the events that have transpired during these days, starting from the middle-aged man encountering the old ghost, to the failed attempt to spread rumors using the Earthly Fiends, and then to the rumors circulating in the capital about the Crown Prince being a daughter, and now the matter of the Tenth Prince has emerged

Until two days ago

side hall

Zheng Fugui held no official position and could not even enter the Outer Palace, so he could only wait here at the Zhuque Gate

From his words, it was learned that he did not wish to do this either, but was threatened by others

Zhang Ronghua escorted the Crown Prince to the inner palace and watched him enter the palace

Return to the Eastern Palace

The Crown Prince walked out, his face cold as he commanded: "Capture everyone in the residence of the Tenth Prince, leave no one behind!"

Xuanhe Hall

Listen to it

It is! Ma Ping'an receives the order

If she had been a bit more cautious, the Crown Prince would not have been humiliated today

"I, I really don't know." The Tenth Prince was frightened, even forgetting his form of address

Your Highness, all the individuals from the residence of the Tenth Prince have been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's dungeon. However, both the Tenth Prince and the Holy Maiden of Tianyin are quite obstinate; despite the severe interrogations, they still refuse to speak, especially the Tenth Prince, who cries out that he knows nothing

At the beginning, he was also very afraid that once this matter was exposed, it would affect the dignity of the royal family, and he would be imprisoned in the House of Lords, confined for a lifetime, until death

The enormous events that have transpired here have already alarmed the patrolling officers and soldiers of the City Defense Division. Upon witnessing the audacity of the Tenth Prince, who intends to harm the Crown Prince, they were all taken aback, feeling as if the sky were about to fall.

The Summer Emperor has already sent someone to capture

Hmm, Zhang Ronghua replied

Bang

Accompanied by a group of five Dragon Guards, they took the Tenth Prince and the Holy Maiden of Tianyin away, leaving no one else unaccounted for, and ordered that they be imprisoned in the dungeons of the Ministry of Justice

simultaneously

Upon seeing Zhang Ronghua, the Tenth Prince was overshadowed by his presence. Initially, he was shouting and yelling, claiming ignorance of everything, but he immediately shut his mouth.

One night, a man in black found him and threatened him regarding this matter, demanding that he invite the Crown Prince over and cooperate with the plan. If he did not comply, the matter would be exposed.

I will give you another chance

Pain

Bang

Severe pain

Zhang Ronghua said: "Who instructed you?"

Stop in front of him

From now on, everyone is a suspect

Zhang Ronghua was dumbfounded, is this a prince? It is clearly just a dog

In just an instant, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Sound could no longer bear it, letting out a scream devoid of humanity under this inhuman torment

Looking at Ma Pingan

Do not hit me! I said, I have said it all...

The Crown Prince sat coldly in the main seat, while Shuang'er shot a fierce glare at Qing'er, her eyes filled with reproach, causing Qing'er to lower her head in shame

Where is there any dignity left for the prince, not even comparable to a dog

The Crown Prince looked at Zhang Ronghua and said in a deep voice, "This matter is entrusted to you"

Then why do you still do this

For the sake of one's own safety, one had no choice but to agree to the other party, leading to today's scene

Ah... the Tenth Prince let out a mournful cry, spitting out a stream of blood. Just as he regained consciousness, he fainted again under the intense pain that pierced through him

Arrived at the palace

The maternal family of Consort Wan, encompassing three generations, has all been apprehended and detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison, with seals affixed to the residence.

Zhang Ronghua gave a cold smile: "Is that so?"

A large bag was swung over.

Boarding the carriage, we hurried towards the palace

Your safety, Your Highness
