Nalan Rongjun saw that Yan Zhilin was deep in thought, and raised his eyebrows and asked: ”What did you think of?”

”This subject received a secret report this morning saying that when Geng Qing examined the corpse, he discovered that the servant had taken a type of deathly medicine. Furthermore, after the autopsy, Geng Qing had personally visited the King Xuan Palace.”

Yan Zhilin thought about the whole matter for a while, then asked, ”prince, when we silenced the Silver Moon Country, who was in charge?”

Nalan Rongjun clenched his fists tightly, and became extremely furious: ”I killed it with my own hands!” At that time, his hand raised and his blade fell. That manservant was clearly a person whose head landed on the ground and died without a single survivor. How could he have miraculously come back to life?

”This humble subject thinks that there must be something strange going on!” Yan Zhilin began to simulate the whole thing in his mind.

If that witness had not died, then today the Three Divisions would come to trial. With his testimony, even if there was no evidence, the emperor would probably believe him. Even if the crown prince was not punished, the emperor would still be wary of him.

This sort of situation was advantageous to the others, but things did not turn out this way. If they did not do it themselves, then what purpose did the others have in killing that boy?

Nalan Rongjun couldn't care less about the discomfort his entire body was experiencing right now. He tried his best to recall the scene where he personally killed the attendant and the attendant that appeared in King Xuan Palace. A dead person, how did he suddenly reappear?

Suddenly, his eyes flashed. The only explanation was — that person was a fake!

Nalan Rongjun and Yan Zhilin thought of this point at the same time, and the moment their eyes met, they knew that they had the same guess.

”If the other prisoners of war from the Silvermoon Kingdom were to be interrogated by the Three Divisions, the false witness would most likely be exposed on the spot. So they won't let him go to trial at all. ” Yan Zhilin took a deep breath.

His meaning was extremely obvious, Nalan Rongxuan had personally directed this play, it was just that he did not expect that the sickly Prince Nalan Rongxuan was actually so bold, to actually dare to set a trap for the current Prince just a few days after returning to his country!

Nalan Rongjun was also shocked in his heart, and inwardly exclaimed that he had underestimated his opponent.

”prince, we can't just let this go!” Yan Zhilin was unwilling to accept this, they had worked hard for so many years to produce such a situation, Nalan Rongxuan was merely a sickly child, he actually dared to think of saving the throne, it was simply a dream.

Nalan Rongxuan shook his head.

Being able to sit steadily as the crown prince for so many years, Nalan Rongjun was naturally not an idiot. This matter was extremely important, he had used the poison to clear his suspicions, but that did not mean that the emperor would not suspect anymore.

Although Yan Zhilin was not convinced, he could only obey the arrangements of the crown prince. However, he secretly vowed in his heart, as long as there was a chance, he would not let Nalan Rongxuan go!

The two of them discussed for a while. After Nalan Rongjun was poisoned and his body could no longer hold up, he repeatedly reminded Yan Zhilin to wait and see, before bringing his followers back to the Eastern Palace.

After the two of them left, a man slowly stood up from the flowers not too far away. He looked in the direction Yan Zilin left in, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a strange smile!

Yan Zhilin was the crown prince's advisor, and he had always gone with the flow, but this time, he was caught unprepared.
