Chapter 295 5 Princes

"Since this man came out of my mansion, he must be related to my mansion. I would like to ask my eldest brother and the third brother to go to the mansion with me to check it out, so as to find the accomplices of this thief." Lin Congyun said, and then signaled Feng Lieyang to take the third prince back to his own mansion.

The eldest prince and the third prince looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

This matter is of great importance, involving royal identity and conspiracy, so they naturally cannot take it lightly.

The group soon arrived at the second prince's residence.

Lin Congyun ordered his men to search the entire mansion, and sure enough, they found several suspicious people in the secret cell.

After some interrogation, the people finally confessed that someone had instructed them to impersonate the third prince with the intention of disrupting the royal bloodline.

"The poison in these people's mouths was hidden secretly. We didn't have time to search them when we first caught them, so they committed suicide. We only captured one alive." Lin Congyun looked at the eldest prince and the third prince with a solemn expression, "This person said that the fifth prince instructed him."

The Fifth Prince, how could it be the Fifth Prince?

The eldest prince was stunned. The fifth prince has always been a peaceful person and has a good relationship with all the princes. How could he do such a thing?

"Second brother, what do you think about this matter?" The eldest prince looked at Lin Congyun, his eyes full of inquiry.

Lin Congyun pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "This matter is of great importance and involves the royal bloodline. We cannot jump to conclusions based on the words of just one person. In my opinion, we should report this matter to the Queen Mother first and ask her to make the decision."

The eldest prince nodded in agreement: "That's right, I will report this to my mother right away."

In the palace, the emperor's health was deteriorating. The third prince was originally in charge of court affairs, but the third prince suddenly disappeared, so the empress was asked to help take care of it.

After hearing the eldest prince's report, the Queen frowned.

"How could this happen? These people are so bold that they even dare to confuse the royal bloodline!" The Queen said angrily, "Bring the Fifth Prince to me immediately. I want to interrogate him personally!"

Soon, the fifth prince was brought before the Queen.

"Your son greets you, mother." The fifth prince looked terrified. "I wonder what your mother wants to see you about?"

"You know what good things you have done!" The Queen said sternly, "How dare you send someone to impersonate the Third Prince? What are your intentions?"

When the Fifth Prince heard this, his face turned pale: "Mother, you are wise. I am innocent! I have never done such a thing!"

"Humph, it's unfair? There are witnesses and evidence, and you still want to deny it?" The Queen snorted coldly.

"Mother, I am truly wronged! Please give me a chance and let me find out the truth!" the fifth prince pleaded.

The Queen pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Okay, then I'll give you a chance. If you can find out the truth and clear your name, I won't make things difficult for you. But if you can't find out... humph, don't blame me for being rude!"

The fifth prince kowtowed immediately to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, mother, for your grace! I will definitely handle this matter well!"

Having said that, the Fifth Prince stood up, turned around and left.

"Mother, this matter is of great importance. Should we investigate it secretly?" The eldest prince groaned.

The Queen waved her hand and said, "No need. Leave this matter to Old Five. I want to see what he can find out."

"Yes." The eldest prince nodded in agreement.

The Fifth Prince returned to his palace and immediately summoned his advisers to discuss the matter.

"This prince has been framed. My mother asked me to find out the truth. Do you have any solution?" the fifth prince asked anxiously.

The counselors looked at each other, and one of them said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, this matter is strange, and it is not easy to find out the truth. However, we can start with the fake third prince, and perhaps we can find some clues."

The Fifth Prince's eyes sparkled when he heard this: "You are right! Someone, go check the background of that fake Third Prince for me immediately!"

At the same time, in the palace, the Queen Mother was also secretly following the progress of the matter. Although she handed the matter over to the Fifth Prince on the surface, she secretly sent people to monitor the Fifth Prince's every move.

The Empress watched every move of the Fifth Prince. She sneered, "Old Fifth, Old Fifth, do you think I don't know about the little tricks you've been doing in secret? I want to see what tricks you can come up with."

The people sent by the Fifth Prince quickly found out the details of the fake Third Prince. However, this fake Third Prince seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and there was no record of him.

This made the Fifth Prince feel an unprecedented sense of difficulty and conspiracy behind the difficulty.

"Could it be... this is a trap for me?" The Fifth Prince was shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "No, I can't just sit there and wait for death! I must find a way to save myself!"

Thinking of this, a determined light flashed in the eyes of the fifth prince: "Someone prepare the sedan chair! I want to go to the palace to see my mother!"

He decided to tell the Queen Mother about the current situation and ask her to help find out the identity of the fake Third Prince and the conspiracy behind it.

But before he could reach the gate of the palace, he was attacked by an assassin on the road!

Although the Fifth Prince had many guards who protected him very well, he was still injured. After the assassin was caught, he immediately bit his tongue and committed suicide, and the clue was lost again.

However, this also further confirmed the Fifth Prince's guess that he was being plotted against, and the person behind the scenes had big ambitions!

The news of the Fifth Prince's assassination soon reached the Queen's ears. Her face changed and she immediately sent someone to check on the Fifth Prince's injuries.

As for Lin Congyun, she was sitting opposite the Third Prince in the study room of the Second Prince's mansion.

"Grandmother, how long do I have to pretend to be the Third Prince?"

Lin Congyun smiled when he heard this: "Why? Xinfeng, do you feel wronged when I asked you to pretend to be the Third Prince?"

"That's not the case. I'm just nervous all day, afraid of revealing something." Fang Xinfeng, who was pretending to be the third prince, laughed and scratched his head. "Besides, I've been hiding in the mansion all day, and I'm almost suffocating."

"Don't worry, it won't take long." Lin Congyun gave Fang Xinfeng a reassuring look, "Fortunately, I came back at the right time that day."

Speaking of the true and false third prince, Fang Xinfeng felt a chill down his spine. "Yes, if grandma hadn't asked me to return to the capital as soon as possible in the letter, I probably wouldn't have been able to help grandma. However, it's been so many days, and apart from the few assassins found in the dungeon that day, who on earth could have such a long hand to run to the second prince's mansion to release the third prince?"

"Didn't that assassin say it was the Fifth Prince who did it?" Lin Congyun still felt a little uncomfortable looking at Fang Xinfeng who was wearing the Third Prince's human skin mask.
