After Imperial Doctor Qin rushed in, the others also rushed in. Who knows if it was out of carelessness or what, but when the last person entered, he closed the door behind him.
Soon, there was a scream from inside the room, but before Lin Chujiu could tell what happened in the room, the sound disappeared.
Lin Chujiu’s complexion slightly changed. She walked quickly to the door, but she didn’t hear any sound from inside the room. She hesitated for a while, then pushed open the door and entered.
The room was quiet. There was a massive screen in the middle, which divided the space into two rooms. There was no one or sound outside the screen.
“What’s going on?” Lin Chujiu almost suspected that she had gone to the wrong place when she didn’t hear the sound of breathing.
Lin Chujiu stood at the door and stared at the screen, neither moving forward nor retreating.
She was still hesitating, about whether to take a step forward or a step back.
It was natural to step back to be safe, but if she retreated today, there will be a new conspiracy against her tomorrow. Rather than defending what was coming against her all day, it was better to take advantage of Xiao Tianyao’s presence to uncover the emperor’s schemes. She better try to get through this in exchange for a short period of peace.
She doesn’t believe that the emperor will dare to kill her in front of Xiao Tianyao even though he was willing to sacrifice the crown prince!
Lin Chujiu took a step forward, and suddenly, there was a low growl from inside the screen. A black shadow jumped up suddenly, and a loud “bang” sounded as the huge screen fell towards Lin Chujiu.
“Ah…” Even though Lin Chujiu had been prepared for a long time, she was also shocked and took a few steps back.
Before Lin Chujiu stood still, a blood-red figure rushed toward Lin Chujiu.
“Crown Prince?” Lin Chujiu was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth when she saw the bloody, red-eyed, and insane Crown Prince.
The Emperor was something. To plot against her, he was willing to sacrifice the crown prince.
Seeing that the crown prince was about to rush at her, Lin Chujiu dodged to avoid it, and at the same time asked herself suspiciously: “Why didn’t Xiao Tianyao come over with such a big commotion?”
Without giving Lin Chujiu a chance to think about it, the crown prince rushed towards her again. He was so fierce as if he wanted to eat people. Unfortunately, the crown prince lost a lot of blood, so although he was fierce his movements were not accurate. Lin Chujiu avoided it several times.
While avoiding this, Lin Chujiu glanced at the situation inside the screen and almost froze.
Five people were lying on the inside of the screen, including Imperial Doctor Qin. Everyone was covered in blood. A young eunuch had his head flattened and his clothes ripped off, but there was no sign of being violated.
Seeing the appearance of those five people, Lin Chujiu knew that the blood on the prince’s body was not his own, and it should be the crown prince who injured those people.
The mad crown prince seemed to be even more anxious when he saw that he hadn’t caught people several times. He rushed towards Lin Chujiu in a hurry, with a painful expression on his face, as if he was trying his best to endure something.
Lin Chujiu frowned. While avoiding the crown prince’s attack, she was also paying attention to the surrounding environment and was about to find a weapon at hand to fight back.
Xiao Tianyao hasn’t come yet. Either he didn’t hear the noise here, or he couldn’t come. She can’t expect Xiao Tianyao to come, she can only solve the crown prince by herself.
Fortunately, the crown prince was pampered at ordinary times and he has no restraint in spending time with women in bed. Even if he berserk, the crown prince’s attack power was limited. Soon Lin Chujiu found an opportunity, she picked up the wooden board on the screen, rushed at the crown prince again, and hit him with the board.
“Boom…” Lin Chujiu used 100% of her strength to hit the crown prince on the forehead. The crown prince immediately bled.
However, the crown prince didn’t seem to be in pain, he hesitated for a moment, and then rushed over again. Seeing this, Lin Chujiu was not polite, she squatted down with the wooden plank in her hand lying under the crown prince’s feet. The crown prince staggered and fell forward. Lin Chujiu rolled over, avoiding the area where the crown prince fell. Without giving the crown prince a chance to get up, she raised the board again and threw it at the back of the crown prince’s head.
This time, Lin Chujiu controlled her strength and didn’t dare to use all her strength, only knocking the crown prince unconscious.
With a “Boom” sound, the crown prince fell and lay motionless on the floor.
Lin Chujiu didn’t rush forward. To be on the safe side, she took another shot, then took out the tranquilizer from the medical system and injected it into the crown prince.
The crown prince twitched and remained motionless again.
Lin Chujiu clapped her hands, turned, and walked out.
Without question, there was no one outside the house. Lin Chujiu was not surprised at all. She went back the same way alone, and then she saw the empty hall.
Whether Xiao Tianyao, the emperor, the eldest prince, or the third prince, they were not around. As if they have never appeared before, and even the serving servants are not in the house.
“Is there anyone?” Lin Chujiu glanced around, making sure that there was no one, and continued to walk outside.
There was still no one outside. The inside and outside of the hall were empty, and there was not even a person to ask questions.
It wasn’t until Lin Chujiu walked out of the crown prince’s palace that she saw the palace maids and eunuchs going back and forth.
It would be a lie to say that it was not surprising, but now was not the time to be curious, Lin Chujiu stepped forward and stopped a eunuch in charge: “Where did the Emperor and Xiao Wangye go?”
“This slave doesn’t know.” The eunuch was about to pay respect to Lin Chujiu, but when he heard Lin Chujiu’s question, he paused halfway through the salute.
Lin Chujiu nodded her head and continued to walk forward. On the road, palace maids and eunuchs were passing by. Lin Chujiu asked several people before she knew that the emperor, the eldest prince, and the third prince were all in the meeting hall. It seemed that something serious happened. What was it? There was no way to ask about the matter, and no one knows Xiao Tianyao’s whereabouts.
At this point, Lin Chujiu completely understood. The person the emperor wanted to plot and frame today was not her. The real target of the emperor was Xiao Tianyao, she was just the side target, or to confuse Xiao Tianyao.
When the emperor succeeded, Xiao Tianyao most likely got the trick.
As for why Xiao Tianyao was caught and where at the moment, Lin Chujiu was curious but didn’t intend to inquire.
It was not easy to capture Xiao Tianyao. Xiao Tianyao obviously let himself get caught, she cannot send herself to the emperor.
Her top priority was to leave the palace and return to Xiao Wangfu. With Xiao Tianyao’s subordinates around, it will be easy for her to find out Xiao Tianyao’s whereabouts.
Without alarming anyone, and without even taking the carriage she came in, Lin Chujiu walked out of the palace alone, joined Xiao Tianyao’s guards, and immediately ordered the to return home.
Although the guards brought by Xiao Tianyao were puzzled as, to why their prince and princess entered the palace together, but in the end only Lin Chujiu came out alone, seeing Lin Chujiu’s serious face, they knew that something must have happened.
They didn’t dare to ask more questions but returned to Xiao Wangfu as quickly as possible.
As soon as Lin Chujiu arrived home, Lin Chujiu didn’t even try to catch her breath, she asked Housekeeper Cao to order someone to find out what happened in the palace today. Xiao Tianyao’s shadow guards worked hard. After two hours, everything that happened in the palace today was presented in front of Lin Chujiu… …
