One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

There was a smile on the face of the governor of the capital, "Your Highness, don't worry. This official is here on the orders of the emperor to detain you temporarily. Please follow me to see the emperor." Fifth Prince, please forgive my rudeness! "

Baili Jinze fiercely swung his arm behind his back to wave away the guard holding his arm. His eyes were filled with impatience as he said, "The governor of the capital's household is truly impressive."

The emperor's smile remained unchanged. He bowed his head and cupped his hands, "This humble subject is afraid. Fifth Prince, please."

"I can walk."

Baili Jinze slowly walked towards the tent where Baili Qing Cang was at. However, all sorts of thoughts were going through his mind as he thought, "Father will not look for me for no reason. This time, there must be something related to me."

When the hunt started this morning, everything was still going well. Later on, when something happened to Shen Ninghua and the rest, Imperial Father returned to the camp ahead of time. Since that was the case, it must definitely be related to the incident with Shen Ninghua.

In other words, someone was purposefully framing him and leading him astray?

The light in Baili Jinze's eyes constantly changed. When he arrived at the entrance of the tent, his expression had already returned to normal. With a trace of confusion, he opened the curtain and walked in.

The first step into the tent was a wave of overwhelming pressure. Baili Jinze was startled, this was definitely not a small matter, he heard that Baili Jinchuan was also injured, could it be that someone died?

His veins could be seen faintly on his forehead. Was this son with the most gentle personality really as brazen and ambitious as he had guessed?

After a short few steps, Baili Jinze felt cold sweat dripping down his back. His heart was beating wildly, but his face was calm. "Your son is participating in Imperial Father's competition."

After a moment of silence, Baili Qingfeng asked, "Have you heard about the assassination attempt on Baili Jinchuan, Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi?"

"Reporting to royal father, this son has heard of it."

"They were ambushed. About a hundred people ambushed them along the way, causing serious injuries to Jin Chuan and Chu Junyi. Xiao Hua was also wounded and almost lost her life. Did you know that?"

Baili Jinze's eyebrows twitched, "I heard that Second Imperial Brother and Princess Zhao Hua were severely injured. I'm not too sure about the specifics."

Baili Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, seriously examining Baili Jinze, "You should know about the Coiling Dragon Villa, right?"

Baili Jinze's pupils suddenly shrunk, and his body couldn't help but sway a little.

Seeing that there was something strange about his expression, Baili Qingfeng's eyes were filled with a sharp glint of light. Sure enough, he was connected to the Coiling Dragon Villa!

"Father, this son has seen the death soldiers that came out of the Coiling Dragon Villa. As for the others, I don't know. Could it be that the people who intercepted the second imperial brother are from the Coiling Dragon Villa?"

"This assassination was done by the Pan Long Manor!"

"Father, we must thoroughly investigate this matter and seek justice for Second Imperial Brother and Ning Hua." Baili Jinze lowered his head and cupped his hands as he spoke.

Fifth Brother, I remember that you are the most gentle one, and you don't like fighting amongst my sons. I had thought that even if you abdicate from the throne in the future, I would make arrangements in advance to ensure that you would live in peace and be a wealthy prince.

Baili Jinze raised his head, the emotions in his eyes tumbling, "Imperial Father …"

"Your mother came from a lowly background, but she was actually an extremely rare woman. She was born as a palace maid, but her personality was tough, and I had already agreed to let her leave the palace, but it was a coincidence that I had you in my place, which was why I allowed her to stay in the palace. "Speaking of which, I do owe you and your son a debt."

Baili Jinze tightly clenched his fist, his heart was filled with waves of discomfort. He had always viewed his mother's birth as a stain on his reputation. Ordinary people rarely mentioned it in front of him, he didn't expect his mother to be lifted up by his father today.

"Your son and subject have never seen mother, but from what the wet nurse said, mother treats me extremely well."

Baili Qingfeng nodded as the coldness in his eyes became more apparent, "Yes, your mother is indeed extremely good to you. It's a pity that you didn't inherit any of your mother's qualities!"

"Father?"

"Baili Jinze, I would never have thought that you would actually hide yourself so deeply, a dignified prince of the Palace, the master of the Coiling Dragon Villa's secret sect, and create a divine weapon for yourself … What do you want to do? Killing a king and seizing the throne? "

Baili Qingyuan's gaze was filled with anger. Like a lion that had been provoked, he vowed to tear all of the violators to pieces.

Being stared at on the face, Baili Jinze only felt pain on his face as he hurriedly knelt on the ground with a pale face: "Royal father, this son respects you like a god and does not dare to have the slightest disrespectful thought. How could I do such an outrageous thing? royal father, please look into it! "

So much time had passed since the incident at the Coiling Dragon Villa. How could it be brought up again? Someone must have sensed something and purposely brought it up again. Who was it? Baili Jinchuan or Shen Ninghua?

Those who were able to investigate this matter could be said to be extremely resourceful. Logically speaking, it should be Baili JinChuan who had a higher possibility of being involved. Unknowingly, the first thing that appeared in his mind was actually Shen Ninghua's face!

"Mingcha?" Baili Qingfeng smirked, "Throw the jade pendant on the table over. Baili Jingze hurriedly caught it.

"Then tell me, why is there a golden thread on your clothes on the jade ornament of the Coiling Dragon Villa?"

Baili Jinze felt his heart tighten as a layer of cold sweat formed on his forehead, causing him to be unable to kneel down, "Imperial Father, this golden thread …"

"What? You mean this golden silk did not come from your clothes?" Indeed, the clothes of the princes were inlaid with golden threads. It's a pity that you're the only one whose clothes have been plucked! "

Baili Jinze looked at the clothes brought in by the attendant, and felt that he was speechless. This Coiling Dragon Jade Pendant was his, but he had always been careful to keep it and never wore it.

"Royal father, this son is truly not aware of it at all. There must be someone framing this son, please investigate." The only thing he could do now was to refuse to admit it.

Baili Qing Cang frowned as he felt pain in his forehead, "Servants, bring the Fifth Prince back to his tent. Without my order, he is not allowed to take even half a step out of his tent and no one is allowed to visit him. I shall pack up my salutes and return to the palace tomorrow. "

After making noise for a long time, it finally quieted down. Shen Ninghua listened attentively for a moment before her eyebrows slightly rose, "What do you think Imperial Father will do to Hundred Miles Jin Ze?"

Chu Junyi applied some medicine to the wound on her arm, then wrapped it with gauze and applied blood on it. This way, the sight of the wound oozing out blood made Chu Junyi feel that it was extremely serious, "His Majesty may not have been very energetic all these years, but he's not an unconscious ruler. Even if he's angry that we've been robbed, he'll think of a way to investigate Pan Long Manor. However, if Baili Jinze is the mastermind behind all of this, he must have some suspicions in his heart."

Shen Ninghua nodded, "Since I can't be a hundred percent sure, I guess Imperial Father wouldn't do anything to Baili Jinze. He will probably be temporarily locked up, and if I don't find a stronger evidence, he might be certain that Baili Jinze was framed."

"That's right. Although the Emperor has always placed great emphasis on the punishment code and the punishments dealt to the officials, after all, Baili Jinze is his own son. In addition, the Fifth Prince has always been the most gentle and uncontested one. The Emperor believes that he's extremely likely to be framed."

"In that case, we can only create some evidence."

Chu Junyi smiled and passed the medicine bowl to Shen Ninghua. She glanced at Wu Qing's pale face and chin, and said coldly in her heart, "Ninghua, I said that I would help you vent your anger, so leave the rest to me. Don't worry."

Shen Ninghua paused for a moment before nodding slightly. "Okay. But, you have to be careful, it's better if you don't go too far."

"I understand."

The next day, just as Shen Ninghua opened his eyes, the cyan sparrow came in to report, "Miss, His Highness the Second Prince woke up and fainted again."

"You woke up and fainted again?"

"Hmm, it is said that after waking up, he found out that the tendons in his right hand were damaged and that it would be difficult for him to draw his sword again in the future. That's why he fainted."

Shen Ninghua paused for a moment before a sneer flashed in her eyes, "Mm, I got it. Since the Second Prince has woken up, I should wake up as well. Bluebird, help me change my clothes. I'll go pay respects to Imperial Father."

After changing into a new set of clothes, Shen Ninghua was supported out of the tent just now. As he was about to walk over to Hundred Miles of Peace, his footsteps paused slightly.

"Princess Tranquil East?"

Baili An was also stunned for a moment, and then recovered quickly: "Xiao Hua, you're awake … "Why didn't you take a break?"

"It's fine. After hearing the cyan sparrow say that father personally led troops to rescue us yesterday, my heart really cannot be at ease. How could I lie down? So I have to go pay my respects to father first."

"Oh, then go. I still have to go see second royal brother. " After all, they were siblings. Although they disapproved of his actions in the past, at this point in time, their worries had overshadowed everything else.

Shen Ninghua nodded and brushed past Baili Ang.

After walking a few steps, Shen Ninghua stopped and turned around to look at Baili An's departing back. He lowered his head and lowered his gaze slightly.

"Miss?"

"Mm, if there's nothing else, let's go."

Shen Ninghua suddenly remembered Chu Junyi's words. He had been selfish and given up on Xiao Huan Xi for her sake, and she had also been selfish and set up a trap for Baili Jingchuan. They had only fought back because they wanted to protect themselves. However, they were people that had been implicated for no reason. Thus, it could only be said that they had a clear conscience.

She did not plot against the innocent, she did not ignore their lives, she did her best to repay all the favors, she did her best to make up for all the debts she owed her. This way, even if she had to step over a pile of bones in the end, she could still walk steadily and sleep in peace!

Baili Qingfeng looked as if he hadn't slept for the entire night. He looked rather tired. When he saw Shen Ninghua walking in, he was surprised, "Ninghua, why are you here without recuperating?"

"Father, this son came here specifically to thank you for saving my life yesterday. Otherwise, I would have been unable to come back here."

Baili Qing Cang laughed, and looked at her with a gentle gaze: "Girl, you have always been troubled by many things, you are my royal father's daughter, why wouldn't I save you? Don't let your thoughts run wild, heal your wounds first. "

"This son still needs to thank royal father for saving my life."

"You …" "Since you've come, then come and help father with some things."

"Alright."

Just as Shen Ninghua agreed, the waiter ran in, gasping for breath. With a face full of fear, he said in a sharp voice,

"Your majesty, something terrible has happened! His Highness the Fifth Prince committed suicide!"
