Chapter 1886: Jiang Zhennan, Contempt of the Imperial Family’s Authority
Seeing that the group of people was about to reach the palace gates, Prince Ping, who was sitting in the sedan chair, became more and more anxious. His face also appeared extremely flustered.
How could this be?
Lin Yuelan had clearly been transferred away by them. In that case, it should be much easier for them to make a move.
However, the reality was beyond his expectations.
No matter what methods he used, poison or Gu worms, the two assassins were completely fine.
Prince Ping frowned and thought deeply for a moment. He looked at the approaching palace gate and then at the two assassins on Jiang Zhennan’s left and right. Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He reacted and thought, ‘Could it be because of the pill Lin Yuelan gave them? That’s right. Lin Yuelan left so quickly. How could she not have any backup plans? Therefore, these two pills were her backup plan. Lin Yuelan’s medical skills are superb. I heard that she could concoct antidotes and gave three of them to His Majesty. I believe that the pills that the two of them ate were antidotes.’
Prince Ping’s gaze sharpened as he finally figured it out. Hatred and anger surged in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said,” Lin Yuelan, we’ve really underestimated you! At such a young age, your thoughts are actually so meticulous and flawless!”
Who would have thought that Lin Yuelan would bring so many pills with her on the day of her wedding?
No matter if it was the Pseudo-death Pill, the Detoxification Pill, or the truth pill, they were all things that people in the world would ask for at all costs. However, Lin Yuelan had it on her at any time.
“Stop!” Just as they were about to reach the palace gates, Prince Ping called for the palanquin to stop in a dignified manner.
Jiang Zhennan frowned slightly and looked at Ping Ping. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied as he asked coldly,” Prince Ping, what’s the matter?”
From the capital’s court to the entrance of the palace, Prince Ping had caused countless mischief. Even after Lin Yuelan left, he had also found all sorts of excuses to approach the two assassins, but they were all strictly rejected by him.
Prince Ping glared at Jiang Zhennan and shouted,” Great General, what kind of attitude is this? Do you believe that this king will punish you for disrespect? You are looking down on this king, you are looking down on the members of the royal family, and you are looking down on the dignity of the royal family! Jiang Zhennan, do you know your crimes?”
Although Jiang Zhennan was usually quiet, he was not a stupid person.
He knew that Prince Ping had failed to make a move along the way, so he found an excuse to make a fuss.
If he really admitted to these crimes, then it was obvious that he would also be accused of these crimes in front of the Emperor.
Jiang Zhennan asked coldly,” I wonder what Prince Ping said. When have I neglected or looked down on Prince Ping, and when have I looked down on the dignity of the royal family?”
Prince Ping said sternly,” With your attitude, you are looking down on me!”
Jiang Zhennan was speechless. It seemed like he was anxious.
Everyone was speechless. Did Prince Ping take the wrong medicine? Who didn’t know that the Great General had always had this kind of attitude? Not to mention Prince Ping, even when facing the Emperor, he would have the same attitude.
If the Emperor did not have any objections, where did Prince Ping’s opinion come from?
Could it be…He wanted to be the emperor?
In that instant, many people looked at Prince Ping strangely.
This strange expression was one of suspicion, but Prince Ping did not notice it.
Jiang Zhennan said coldly,” Prince Ping, this general has always been like this. Not to mention you, Prince Ping, but I am like this even around His Majesty!”
Prince Ping could naturally tell. Just as he was about to defend himself, Eunuch Zhang rushed over from the palace gates and said,” Great General, Prince Ping, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time. Please bring the assassins into the palace as soon as possible!”
