Chapter 285 This might be his chance to get rid of Yun Shu in one fell swoop!

"Zhuo Fengxin is quite skilled, so I dare not follow him too closely. I only know that they finally took the people out of the city, but I don't know where they went."

"The people from the Imperial Camp took the Princess' Order and went to the Ministry of Justice to take away a group of death row prisoners..."

The eldest prince frowned, not really understanding what was going on:
"Have the identities of those death row prisoners been clarified?"

“It’s all here.”

The spy respectfully handed over a booklet.

The eldest prince took it and looked at it, but he was even more confused -

There is no other reason. It is just that the people in this book are too ordinary, let alone Yun Shu, who is a girl.
Even any random official in the court who could be considered to have a reputation was far beyond the reach of these people.

"Keep checking!"

The more confusing something is, the more likely it is that there is a big secret hidden inside!
The eldest prince ordered in a deep voice:

“No matter what, we must get to the bottom of this matter!

This prince wants to see what shameful things Yun Shu is doing in secret! "

"Yes."

The spy responded, and was about to leave.
After thinking about it, he opened his mouth again:

"In fact, I have heard a rumor, but it has not been confirmed, so I cannot confirm its authenticity."

"What rumors?"

If it was just an ordinary rumor, the spy would definitely not have such an expression.
The eldest prince narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where did you hear that?"

"On my way here today, I overheard a commoner on the roadside saying that he seemed to have heard the assassin who assassinated Her Highness the Crown Princess at the Tianwaitian Restaurant yesterday speak a word in Beixiang dialect."

Knowing that this matter might be of great importance, the spy did not dare to hide anything and told everything he heard:

"But the man himself said later that he only heard two words, and they were not very clear. Maybe he heard it wrongly."

Did I really hear it wrong?

He waved his hand, indicating that the spy could continue to do what he was supposed to do.

The eldest prince walked to the desk thoughtfully and sat down. He picked up a pen and wrote the words "Beixiang Assassin" and "Death Row Prisoner" on the paper in front of him.

Of course he also knew about Yun Shu's assassination yesterday.

After all, this could almost be said to have happened in the street in broad daylight.

But because Yunshu was in a box relatively close to the inside, the window was facing the garden at the back.
So the people on the street couldn't see it very clearly.

At best, I could hear the sound of fighting on the roof.

If you are farther away, you might occasionally see the figures of those people leaping up when they are fighting.

But this is obviously not enough to reveal the identities of the assassins.

And when this matter was mentioned at the court this morning, my father clearly said that those assassins were the remnants of the deposed crown prince!
But what if those assassins were not the remnants of the deposed prince, but people from Beixiang?

Why did Father and Yunshu hide this?

Because you don’t want to go to war with Beixiang?
But it is clear that the national treasury now has money, and if a war really breaks out, we can afford the military expenses.

Could it be... that he felt that many of the military generals in the court supported him, and was afraid that once the war really broke out and the military generals made meritorious contributions, the power of him, the eldest prince, would be further expanded?
Or... the eldest prince suddenly thought of the ninth prince of Beixiang again.

Yun Shu looks like a pretty boy. Could it be that he has fallen into a beauty trap?
After going through all kinds of conspiracy theories in his mind for several times, the eldest prince put down the brush in his hand heavily.

Yunshu is different from the deposed prince.
The former deposed crown prince received absolute support from most people in the court, especially his father, the emperor, simply because he was the legitimate son of the empress.

It is stable, but every step he takes afterwards may shake this stability.

However, Princess Yunshu was promoted to the position of Crown Princess by her father, the Emperor, with almost no support in the court, before anyone could react.

It may not be so stable at the beginning, but every step she takes is to consolidate her position!
The eldest prince didn't even dare to think about how stable Yun Shu's position as the crown princess would be if he continued to let her do this.

Even now, she is much more difficult to deal with than the former deposed crown prince.

If he can seize the opportunity again this time, he must not make any mistakes again.

He had a hunch that if he could succeed this time, maybe he could really get rid of Yun Shu in one fell swoop!
……

Three days later, after losing several of his well-placed spies, the eldest prince finally got some information as he wished.

"According to Dr. Song's wife, the disease Yunshu sent the doctors to treat at the farm outside the city must be a contagious disease.
Otherwise, Doctor Song wouldn't be so worried, and even muttered in his sleep, "What if he got infected?"

“…Your Highness.”

The staff member who was summoned by the eldest prince to discuss countermeasures pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind:
"Do you think it could be smallpox?"

"smallpox?"

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, and soon his eyes flashed with brilliance:
“Yes, the court has received news that a plague has broken out in Beixiang. Now the small town on the border has almost become a deserted city due to the ravages of smallpox!

Since those assassins came from Beixiang, they might have come here with smallpox.

That day at the Tianwaitian Restaurant, the Dragon Shadow Guard beside Yun Shu fought with the assassin and it is very likely that he had contracted smallpox.

The person who is waiting for treatment in the manor outside the city is most likely the Dragon Shadow Guard..."

"If it was just a Dragon Shadow Guard, there wouldn't be such a big fight."

The staff analyzed in a deep voice:
"In my opinion, Her Royal Highness may want to take this opportunity to find a cure for smallpox!"

"Is it so easy to find a cure for smallpox?"

Just like Emperor Xuanwu's reaction when he heard about this before, the eldest prince first subconsciously denied it:

“Since ancient times, many famous doctors have been looking for a cure for smallpox, but they have never succeeded in their entire lives.

Although Yun Shu said... although she had created many things that had never existed before,
But medical skills are different after all. Can this medical skill just appear out of thin air?"

"I really don't understand this either."

The staff frowned slightly. Although he couldn't figure it out, he still insisted on his guess:
"But if you want to explain your majesty and the princess's behavior this time, this is the only way to explain it."

"Your Highness."

The staff member said solemnly:

"If Her Royal Highness can accomplish this task this time, I'm afraid you will..."

The aide did not finish the rest of his words, but everyone could understand what he was not saying.

If Yun Shu can really solve this, the eldest prince will no longer have any chance of winning!
