You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 154 Hide Her, Lock Her Up

Xiao Chen immediately realized that something was wrong and wanted to spit out the pill in his mouth.

Xiao Yan noticed his intention, picked up the herbal tea on the table, and with a click, he broke Xiao Chen's jaw, picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth.

The cold tea poured into Xiao Chen's throat and he choked a few times. In the end, Xiao Yun forced the unknown pill into his throat.

After drinking, Xiao Yan forced his chin back, put down the teapot in his hand, and looked at him coldly.

Xiao Chen wanted to dig out the medicine, but found that he could not move at all.

He wanted to use his internal energy forcibly, but found that as soon as he activated his internal energy, his meridians felt like they were filled with countless fine needles, causing prickling pain all over.

Now Xiao Chen could only move his eyes and mouth. He glared at Xiao Yan and said fiercely:

"Xiao Yan, what on earth did you do to me?"

"It's nothing. I just gave my brother a pill of Baixigui. After taking this medicine, as long as you breathe more than a hundred times, your body will heat up and you will bleed from all seven orifices and die. Does my brother feel that his body is heating up now?"

Xiao Chen felt it and found that there were indeed signs of heat in his dantian.

Is Xiao Yan crazy?

"Xiao Yan, you should stop being a prince if you want to murder your brothers."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at him:

"I plotted to murder my brothers? Who saw it? Where is the evidence? When your body is cold, I will feed it to the wolves and let them eat it up completely, leaving no bones. How can they get evidence? With just your useless guards?"

Xiao Chen felt a chill down his spine after hearing what Xiao Yun said, and he opened his mouth to call for help.

"If my brother doesn't want the antidote, just shout."

Xiao Chen swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

After glaring at Xiao Yan with his fiery eyes, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He actually dared to break into his house in the middle of the night, which meant that tonight was a confession game.

Both of them have always been aware of their open and covert struggles. Although it is a frank game, it is more like a game.

No matter what is said, the other party has the final say.

"Xiao Yan, what do you want to ask?"

"Did you steal the East Territory Defense Map?"

Xiao Chen knew he was going to ask this, so he raised his eyelids and said without blushing or beating his heart:

"No."

Xiao Yan had already anticipated that he would not admit it, and signaled Feng Xin with his eyes.

Feng Xin untied the black cloth bag in his hand, and a head rolled out.

That is Lu Ping's head.

Xiao Chen just glanced at him calmly and said without any expression:

"Prince, what do you mean?"

"Your people, what do you mean by asking me, my brother?"

"Your Highness, you may have made a mistake. I don't know this person."

"Lu Ping, whose real name is Chang Xiang, is the prostitute you redeemed from Jiangzhou. Three years ago, you placed her by my side. Brother, do you need me to continue?"

While Xiao Yan was speaking, Xiao Chen's consciousness began to become a little fuzzy.

The words in my heart seemed to be uncontrollable and came out unconsciously.

"Yes, she is mine."

Seeing the effect of the medicine, Xiao Yan asked directly:

"Did you steal the East Territory Defense Map? Who are your accomplices?"

Xiao Chen's eyes were dull, and he answered truthfully:

"Yes."

"The accomplices...are Miss Lin Er and...Duke Lin."

Hearing the voice of the follower outside, Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold and he stretched out his hand to knock him unconscious.

In the dark night, two figures moved back and forth in the Great Prince's Palace like ghosts.

After leaving the Grand Prince's Mansion and walking on the street, Feng Xin asked doubtfully:

"Your Highness, is Duke Lin really involved?"

Xiao Yan glanced at him with a deep look in his eyes.

"Feng Xin, how many years have you been with me?"

"Your Highness, it's been six years."

Feng Xin replied proudly.

"So in these six years, you only grew taller, but your brain didn't grow at all?"

Feng Xin: ...He could tell that His Highness was scolding him.

"So, Your Highness, was Duke Lin involved in this?"

Xiao Yan: "...Didn't you see that my brother wasn't tricked at all?"

Seeing Feng Xin's curious look, Xiao Yan said:

"Do you know who Duke Lin belongs to?"

"The Emperor's men."

It is no secret in the court that Duke Lin is a royalist.

"What about the person who actually stole the picture?"

"Remnants of the previous dynasty."

Feng Xin was involved in Xiao Yan's plan throughout, and he knew that.

"Then why do you think my brother mentioned Duke Lin just now?"

Feng Xin thought for a while, his eyes lit up:

"The eldest prince wants to sow discord between Your Highness and Duke Lin?"

Xiao Yan nodded:

"So, what did you realize?"

Duke Lin, the Emperor, His Royal Highness, the Former Dynasty, Picture, the First Prince...

All the clues were strung together in Feng Xin's mind. With a flash of inspiration, he immediately understood the real purpose of His Highness coming to the Crown Prince's Mansion tonight.

"I understand. Duke Lin is the emperor's man. After those people from the previous dynasty got the East Territory defense map, they will definitely take action against the East Territory. What they need now is time. The last thing they want is for someone to ruin this plan.

The defense map was stolen. Regardless of whether the map is recovered or not, in order to prevent any accidents, Your Highness needs to go to the East, which also takes time.

The eldest prince stole the map, and his goal was to take the throne of the Eastern Palace. At this time, he needed to bring down the prince as quickly as possible before the prince found evidence.

Moreover, after deposing His Highness, in order to prevent any unexpected events or the Crown Prince having the opportunity to return to the East Palace, he would definitely try every means to transfer His Highness the Crown Prince away from the capital, and then he might even try to kill His Highness outside to prevent future troubles.

Now, His Highness has lost the defense map, and the First Prince can use this opportunity to redeem himself and send His Highness the Crown Prince to the East.

Regardless of whether the eldest prince is cooperating with people from the previous dynasty or he is unaware of the other party's true identity, the ultimate goals of the two are contradictory.

From the Emperor's perspective, he naturally wants His Highness to go to the East Territory, and the ghost in the palace will certainly try every means to stop it. However, in order to avert the Emperor's suspicion, they must find someone the Emperor trusts and who has a close relationship with His Highness to go to the East Territory. That person is Duke Lin.

Your Highness wants to use this to exploit the eldest prince and uncover the culprit behind this."

Xiao Yan glanced at him with appreciation and said calmly:

"Not too stupid."

But there was one thing he didn't mention, that is, they got rid of Duke Lin, in addition to this reason, the most important point is to cut off the arm of his father...

The breeze rustled the leaves.

Xiao Yun looked up, her eyes slightly narrowed.

The sky in the capital finally started to wind up...

……

However, since my royal brother is cooperating with those people, they naturally know about Lin Zhaoyue’s existence.

Lin Zhaoyue is the rope that holds Duke Lin back. Now she is no longer safe in the East Palace...

Moreover, Lin Zhaoyue is also very restless... She should be hidden and locked up...
