Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Chapter 303 Entering the Palace Again



Chapter 303 Entering the Palace Again

Fan Jingrui and Feng Yan held their foreheads helplessly, their brows tightly furrowed, full of worry, and their minds spinning like crazy like a fast-spinning top!

Unfortunately, the two of them really couldn't figure out what kind of strange and incredible ideas were in Chu Ci's imaginative mind.

Therefore, they could only watch Chu Ci excitedly pulling Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng to gossip as if he had found his organization.

"Are you helping us so much because you have never been affected by those mysterious forces?"

Mysterious power? What mysterious power?

Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng looked at each other and were about to ask about the so-called mysterious power when Chu Ci dropped another bombshell: "Have you always been able to sense that something is wrong with the King of Qi?"

They had indeed realized early on that the King of Qi was not as upright and honest as he appeared to be, but they never expected that he was actually involved in the framing of the prince!

Fortunately, Chu Ci did not have the ability to read minds. If she did, she would tell them without hesitation what it meant that the King of Qi had a share. It was actually the King of Qi who was in control, okay?

The role played by the King of Qi was not just a participant. He was the mastermind behind the scenes, and all the conspiracies and intrigues were carefully planned by him.

Chu Ci had no idea what Prince Li and the others were thinking. At the moment, she was immersed in her own thoughts.

Prince Li and the other prince, who were lost in thought, did not notice Chu Ci's unusual behavior.

Their thoughts drifted to the emperor's unusual behavior in recent years.

At this moment, the two of them felt cold all over, as if they fell into an ice cellar. A biting chill went straight from the soles of their feet to their hearts, as if they were frozen whole.

The two of them didn't care about anything else. They looked extremely anxious and immediately pulled Chu Ci tightly and asked, "Has the mysterious power completely disappeared now? Or are there still remnants lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike?"

The two of them thought Chu Ci would give them a definite answer, their eyes were filled with eager anticipation, but unexpectedly, Chu Ci simply shook his head. "I admit that I am very powerful, and I can suppress many evil spirits with my own luck. But I am not an omnipotent god, and I don't have the ability to predict the future!"

These words almost choked the two of them! "You...you..."

At this moment, Prince Li finally deeply understood the frustration and helplessness the emperor felt when facing Chu Ci.

But from what Chu Ci said, it seems that all the corrupt officials who have been caught in the past two days were thanks to Chu Ci's efforts.

No matter how arrogant Prince Li was, he could not do anything excessive at this moment towards someone who had made such a great contribution to the Great Zhou.

He could only suppress his frustration and anger, and turned to Feng Yan and said, "Feng Yan, is what Princess Yi Xin said true? Those mysterious powers can actually control the emperor?"

However, before Feng Yan could respond, Chu Ci jumped out again impatiently. "Hey, you're being too serious."

"If those people could really control the emperor, the Great Zhou would have ceased to exist long ago. Those unpresentable means can only affect the emperor's feelings about some people at best."

Upon hearing this, Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng's eyes flickered, as if they had grasped the key point. They said anxiously one after another, "So the Crown Prince was deposed because of those people secretly causing trouble and deliberately magnifying the suspicion that already existed in the Emperor's heart?"

"Xing Zhang is not a cold-blooded person by nature, but the problem is that the fake daughter is interfering?"

……

The two of them asked almost all the things that they thought were abnormal at once, one question after another, like a string of cannonballs, not giving Chu Ci any chance to breathe.

Chu Ci kept asking questions until his eyes felt dizzy and his vision became blurry, as if he had turned into a mosquito coil, and he felt dizzy all over.

At this point, the two did not give up, and their thoughts became more and more profound.

Considering the recent incident involving Concubine Ming, without waiting for Chu Ci to react, the two said in unison: "This should only be a small part of it. So how many maggots like this are hidden among the civil and military officials in the capital?"

"How many people have been bewitched or manipulated by those mysterious forces? How huge are those conspiracies lurking in the dark?"

Thinking of this, the two could no longer sit still in their chairs. "Go to the palace. We must go to the palace immediately to see the emperor and report this matter in detail."

However, even though the situation was so urgent, they did not forget to consider the personalities of Chu Ci and his wife, as well as Feng Yan and the other two. "Have three sedan chairs prepared immediately."

Chu Ci found this to be ridiculous and outrageous.

But the arm can never bend the thigh, and Chu Ci doesn't want to do good things without being known.

Thus, Chu Ci and the other two were carried into the palace in sedan chairs arranged by Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng.

In the palace, the emperor was waiting for Chu Ci and the other two anxiously, and he became angry.

Hearing the eunuch hurried in to report that Prince Li had brought Chu Ci and the other two into the palace in a sedan chair, the emperor did not hesitate at all, and immediately waved his hand and said loudly: "Announce—"

After the young eunuch took the order and left, the emperor thought for a moment and still felt uneasy. He solemnly instructed Zhang Rang beside him, "Call the imperial physician Bai and have him wait outside the imperial study as soon as possible, just in case!"

So, without Chu Ci and the other two knowing anything, they were inexplicably treated by the emperor as porcelain dolls that needed meticulous care and were so fragile that they would shatter at the slightest touch.

Although this feeling of being overprotected is not bad, I even felt a little flattered and happy in my heart.

But when Chu Ci heard the emperor questioning Feng Yan as to why he had killed Master Tong Xuan in the first place, he could no longer sit still and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although Chu Ci had tried his best to control his emotions and look calm.

But Fan Jingrui was with her day and night, and was very familiar with her every move, every frown and smile, and soon noticed Chu Ci's abnormality.

Fan Jingrui quickly and calmly grasped her right hand and warned her with his eyes: "Don't act rashly."

The two men believed that their action was extremely secretive, but that was simply because the emperor was willing to turn a blind eye and not make a fuss about trivial matters.

However, anything now can easily amplify the emperor's senses.

"Princess Yixin, Lord Ma, don't you think that I shouldn't ask about the truth of this matter?" The emperor stared at the two of them with a sharp gaze, and his tone was full of majesty and questioning.

Chu Ci was startled when he heard this, and immediately replied: "It's right. But..."
