"Father, the Emperor has ordered me to go on a campaign. He's clearly doing this on purpose!"
Returning to the Prince Yu's mansion, Chu Minghao fell into a state of unease after hearing the news from Prince Yu.
"Father, not to mention how fierce and barbaric the Nanling tribe are, but just after I leave, your influence in the Imperial City..."
Seeing that Prince Yu's expression was not good, Chu Minghao stopped speaking and changed his words, "Father, the Emperor clearly wants to gradually hollow out your power in the court."
Prince Yu's eyes were cold, his lips pressed tightly together, and he remained silent.
Chu Minghao observed his expression and hesitated before asking softly, "Didn't they say the Emperor... was poisoned? Father, are you sure the person who ordered me to go on the campaign was truly the Emperor himself?"
"Absolutely certain!" Prince Yu's fingers tightened, and the jade cup in his hand was almost crushed!
Although at that time, everyone dared not get too close because the Emperor had just favored a beauty.
Based on his understanding of the Emperor over the years, the man sitting in the chair behind the screen was definitely the Emperor himself.
He wondered, if it were a fake, who could imitate it so perfectly?
Even the most subtle movements and expressions were identical, could it be fake?
"But, our people did see the Emperor vomit blood..." Chu Minghao still couldn't understand.
There were their informants in the palace.
Of course, it wasn't just their Prince Yu's mansion that had people watching the palace.
How many eyes were constantly monitoring every move in the palace?
Prince Yu suddenly thought of something and looked up at him, "Why did you act rashly?"
Chu Minghao was stunned, not quite understanding, "Father, what... do you mean?"
Had he done something?
Prince Yu snorted, "You actually dared... to make a move on him?"
Everything wasn't ready yet, how could he have such audacity?
Chu Minghao's heart tightened, and he looked innocent, "Don't tell me... it wasn't you, Father..."
Prince Yu opened his mouth, and his anger gradually subsided.
On such matters, Chu Minghao would not dare to hide anything from him. Could it really not be him?
Chu Minghao was also taken aback, "Father, it's really not you..."
"Silence!" Prince Yu's eyes deepened, and he said displeasantly, "I did nothing."
Although he wanted to, it wasn't time yet.
If he accidentally left any evidence, the Emperor could easily convict him.
Attempting to harm the Emperor was a grave offense, and those neutral old conservatives would naturally not help him.
He then looked at Chu Minghao, "Then, the one who spread the news that the Emperor was poisoned..."
"Naturally, it wasn't me!" Chu Minghao would never dare to take responsibility for such actions.
The father and son looked at each other and fell into silence.
That person had sent them the news before the Emperor was poisoned.
As a result, Prince Yu had almost reached the Imperial Palace when he received the news from an informant about the Emperor being poisoned and vomiting blood.
So, was this person the one who truly poisoned him from behind the scenes?
Who exactly was it?
Given how many people rushed there today, it was highly likely to be one of them.
If it wasn't them, then who else wanted to put the Emperor to death?
Chu Minghao pondered for a while before lowering his voice, "Father, currently only you have the power to legitimately inherit the throne after the Emperor's demise."
"Now that the Emperor is in trouble, I'm afraid everyone will think you did it."
After thinking about it, he was filled with unease, "Father, someone wants to use a borrowed knife to kill, killing two birds with one stone, eliminating the Emperor while also eliminating our Prince Yu's mansion!"
