Chapter 1412 The Backer Behind Her

“Second Imperial Uncle, obey my command!” Chu Qianli suddenly called out.

“Your subject is here!” Chu Lingyang immediately inclined his body.

Chu Qianli said in a deep voice, “Second Imperial Uncle, please keep an eye on First Imperial Uncle. When I interrogate Chu Minghao later, if First Imperial Uncle insists on speaking up to remind him, please handle it according to the law and escort him out!”

“You dare!” Prince Yu was furious!

These people have all rebelled! They dared to lay hands on him!

Chu Lingyang walked up to Prince Yu. He did not appear arrogant, after all, he was his elder imperial brother.

But it was clear that he was listening to the princess.

“If First Imperial Brother does not wish to arouse suspicion, perhaps he should remain quiet for a moment. Otherwise, if First Imperial Brother truly has something to hide, then father and son will have to conceal their crimes together.”

“This King…”

“First Imperial Brother, if you wish to prove your innocence, please remain calm!”

“Father.” Chu Minghao wanted to see what his father had to say, what he wanted to hint at him.

Unexpectedly, Chu Lingyang stepped forward, blocking between them, completely cutting off his escape route.

The ministers felt quite complex emotions. The princess was truly as wise as she was intelligent.

If Lord Ling had not come forward to handle this matter, no one else would have been suitable.

No one dared!

Prince Yu was so enraged he was almost spitting fire from all seven orifices.

But he knew his second imperial brother’s temper too well.

If he really spoke up, no matter what he said, Lord Ling would not give him the chance. Lord Ling would truly escort him out of the great hall.

Others might not dare, but Lord Ling dared!

What’s more, Chu Lingyang’s martial arts were superior to Prince Yu’s.

He might not have many schemes, but his physical strength and cultivation were absolutely extraordinary.

Prince Yu’s chest heaved with anger, but he could only clench his fists and remain silent!

Only then did Chu Qianli look at Chu Minghao and ask coldly, “Young Master, since you knew the collapse of the city moat was man-made, why didn’t you notify me of the matter, but instead sent Ghost Eye to investigate?”

Upon hearing this, Prince Yu’s heart tightened, and he immediately prepared to speak up and remind him.

Chu Lingyang’s expression instantly darkened, and he said angrily, “First Imperial Brother!”

The expression on his elder imperial brother’s face! What did that indicate?

Could it be that his elder imperial brother was truly involved in this matter?

He could actually harm thousands of lives for the sake of power?

How could he!

Prince Yu’s heart tensed, but at this moment, all attention was focused on him and Chu Minghao.

Once he made any move, this matter would be confirmed as being related to him!

At this moment, Prince Yu felt a sense of desolation.

He clenched his fists so tightly they creaked, but he was powerless.

Lan Fan realized something, and a power gradually gathered in his eyes.

But before this power could fully condense, a chill suddenly struck from not far away.

The oppressive cold made his breath falter.

Lan Fan turned his head and saw that behind the gauze curtain not far behind the princess, there was still someone sitting.

Feng Yexuan!

He sat there, silent and unseen, and no one had noticed him, not even he had detected him.

Feng Yexuan could now completely control his illusionary techniques. With Feng Yexuan present, his own illusions had no chance of being unleashed.

At this moment, even Lan Fan was at a loss.

Chu Qianli then looked at Chu Minghao again, her voice deepening, “Chu Minghao, you gave the Ghost Eye token. Was it to have him investigate the matter of the city moat’s embankment being blown up, or were you actually having Ghost Eye participate in it!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Chu Minghao was shocked and immediately defended himself, “This young master naturally only ordered Ghost Eye to investigate this matter. It is you who cannot discern right from wrong and are forcibly slandering this young master!”
