Chapter 288 Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?
"Isn't this servant waiting for you?"

Li Dehai hurriedly stepped forward and said helplessly:
"You are finally back. His Majesty asked you to go to the Imperial Study immediately after you came back!"

"So urgent?"

Yun Shu walked towards the imperial study room with a familiar look on his face, wondering:

"What happened?"

"This servant is not clear."

Li Dehai thought about it, perhaps considering the importance of Yunshu, the princess, in Emperor Xuanwu's eyes, and added after a moment:
"But the Right Prime Minister came here once."

"Right Prime Minister?"

After the case of deposing the crown prince for treason, the former right prime minister and his entire family were executed.

The current right prime minister is the grandfather of Yun Chuhuan.

What could happen to him?
Could it be that he also knew about the little moves of the eldest prince?

With some doubts in his heart, Yun Shu was immediately glared at by Emperor Xuanwu as soon as he entered the imperial study.

Well, overall, he looks quite relaxed.
The feeling given is different from last time, but it’s not a big problem. At least it shouldn’t reach the level of turning another man into a sister.

Emperor Xuanwu first breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, and then slowly asked:

"I heard that you left the palace in a hurry after meeting General Lu just now?"

"Yes, I'm going to look for my eldest brother."

Going to see the boss?
Could it be that this brat beat up the boss?

It feels like something she could do!
Emperor Xuanwu suddenly felt that he had let go of his worries too early:

"Why did you go to see your eldest brother?"

"I am..."

Yun Shu looked up at the beams, and the obedient expression that had silenced Emperor Xuanwu gradually emerged:

"Father, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Emperor Xuanwu: “…”

He leaned back in his chair expressionlessly: "Lies."

"I just heard some words from General Weiyuan, and then because I was worried that there would be a rift between him and my eldest brother, I went to comfort him."

Yun Shu sighed seriously:

"You don't even know that General Weiyuan came to ask me for no reason whether the person who assassinated me in Tianwaitian Restaurant that day was sent by Beixiang!

As soon as I heard this, I knew that someone must have said something in General Weiyuan's ear!

Everyone knows that General Weiyuan is a member of the eldest prince's faction. If he came to me so impulsively and said these words, it might be misunderstood and people might think that this was all the eldest prince's scheme, then wouldn't it be..."

"okay."

Emperor Xuanwu was originally speechless, but gradually his expression became more serious:
"You mean, your eldest brother and his men already know the true identities of those assassins?"

"More than that!"

Yun Shu's expression suddenly fell, and he immediately switched to complaining mode with a look of grievance:

"I suspect that my eldest brother may have known about what happened in the farm outside the city.

Father, you don’t know how much our eldest brother has gone beyond the limit!
He actually used General Weiyuan to give his subordinates the "Itching Powder"! "

He told her how a rash suddenly appeared on General Weiyuan's body when he was talking today, and how he had called the imperial physician to help him diagnose his pulse.
Yun Shu frowned and said:
"I guess my eldest brother wanted to spread rumors to make the people think I had smallpox, so I took a walk outside the palace and showed my face before the 'Itching Powder' took effect and the rash appeared. Father, I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

How smart was Emperor Xuanwu?

When he was plotting and scheming with others, the eldest prince had not yet been born!

At this moment, he was burning with anger because he had guessed the eldest prince's evil ambitions. Suddenly, he heard Yun Shu say pitifully that he was afraid.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he inevitably became a little angry:
"You are the crown prince!"

"No one has stipulated that the crown prince cannot love beauty!"

Yun Shu retorted unconvincedly:

"You have always been so beautiful, so of course you don't think it's a big deal, but I'm about to get a rash on my face!
Although the imperial physician said it wouldn’t be a lot, but what if?
What if I become like General Weiyuan?
Even if I can ask for leave from you and hide away for a few days without seeing anyone, what if the rash leaves some marks after it disappears?
It is not easy for me to have this face! If there is any loss, I will suffer a great loss! "

Emperor Xuanwu: “…”

People were plotting against her position as heir to the throne, and even her life.

She was actually worried about the possibility of a small red rash on her face?
The anger in his heart was immediately dispersed by her diverted focus.

Emperor Xuanwu didn't know for a moment whether he should be happy that his crown prince was calm and composed in the face of difficulties, or feel helpless for her rough and tactful behavior.

"you……"

Emperor Xuanwu was silent for a moment, and tried to get the topic back on track:
"Have you ever thought that Lu Jingkun was not just being used, but he actually knew the boss's plan a long time ago?"

"Probably not?"

Yun Shu thought seriously for two seconds and shook his head decisively:

"General Weiyuan is a straightforward man with a hint of naivety. He doesn't seem to be acting."

"Ah."

Only Xiaowu saw General Weiyuan's reaction at that moment.

Since Xiaowu said that this person was probably just being used, and didn't intentionally want to get the "itch powder" on her,
Then he would not pursue the matter for now.

But the boss and the others...

A hint of sternness flashed across his eyes, and Emperor Xuanwu nodded slightly:

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"If I am not mistaken... my eldest brother's original plan was to spread the rumor that I had contracted smallpox.

At this time, because of the outbreak of "Yangyang Powder", the red rash on my face could easily cause misunderstanding, so I had no way to come forward to clarify or explain anything.

The people thought that I knew I had contracted smallpox, but for my own selfish interests, I ignored the lives of the people in the city and continued to run the Tianwaitian Restaurant where I was when I 'contracted smallpox', and they would surely curse me.

By then, the good reputation that I had worked so hard to build up among the people would collapse overnight, and the people's hearts would be gone.

He would take advantage of his son's anxiety, distraction and lowered vigilance to find a way to make his son really contract smallpox.

In this way, even if I die in this conspiracy, the people will only think that I deserve it.

When he replaces his son, the people will no longer look down on him just because they still remember his son's kindness.

Even the imperial court would have to…" for the sake of his reputation as the new crown prince.

"Okay, I didn't ask you to say anything!"

Although he had already guessed the eldest prince's conspiracy, Emperor Xuanwu became more and more angry the more he listened.
