The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

At night, even the palace in Kyoto.

Chu Lian stood on the steps outside the main hall in a black brocade robe, watching the servants of the mansion hang up the palace lanterns one by one.

He changed from being arrogant and unruly in the past, with a sullen face and a preoccupied look.

"Your Highness, you have ordered your servants to move all the items in the treasury to the secret warehouse. It has been completed, and the old slave has also registered it."

The steward, Uncle Wu, stood aside holding the account book and reported respectfully.

Chu Lian put his hands behind his back, stroked the sapphire fingers on his hands, and sighed.

"Tell Qing Mo, someone will definitely come to the door tonight, no matter who it is, do your best to stop it."

Uncle Wu nodded immediately and said seriously.

"Yes, the servant will take someone to guard the door."

Chu Lian is waiting, waiting for the people from the Prince's Mansion to arrive!
Until this moment, he was still secretly expecting that Chu Wen would change his mind. He even thought that if the people in the Prince's Mansion were to come tonight, he would still be as sincere to him as before!
But when the willows were on the moon, there was still the sound of swords clashing in the front yard, Chu Wen's face dimmed little by little, and his hands behind his back gradually clenched into fists.

Qing Mo, the guard with a knife, landed in front of Chu Lian, clasping his hands.

"Your Highness, the Gu Yi guard of the Prince's Mansion has brought an army from Bing Ma Si and said they want to search the mansion!"

Chu Lian sneered, he still came after all, and followed Qing Mo to the front yard.

The leader was Gu Yi, the personal bodyguard of Chu Wen in the prince's mansion, and Chu Lian knew that he did not go to Zizhou with the prince.

"Stop this king!"

Chu Lian gave a cold cry, and the two fighters stopped, but they still held their long swords and faced each other.

Chu Lian held a smile.

"Guyi guard, this is Prince Lian's mansion. The prince and the crown prince have always been in harmony. Why do you search the mansion with such fanfare! Are you acting recklessly for the crown prince when the crown prince is not here?"

Faced with Chu Lian's cold questioning, Gu Yi was calm and clapped his hands.

"His Royal Highness Lian Wang, the slave was ordered by the crown prince to conduct a thorough investigation of Zizhou in the capital, and was instructed by the Duke of Dongchang Wandu to enter the Lian Wang Mansion to search the gold mine. Please don't make things difficult for your highness."

Chu Lian chuckled for a while, then his eyes darkened.

"What if the king doesn't cooperate?"

Gu Yi smiled lightly, and as soon as he raised his hand, an army seconded from Bing Ma Si behind him immediately raised the long sword in his hand.

"Then please don't blame me, my lord!"

"Hahaha"

When Chu Lian saw this battle, it seemed that Chu Wen was determined to put him to death!
"Okay, this king has always been sincere to the prince, and this time is no exception."

"Qing Mo, lead everyone back!"

With an order, the guards with knives in Lian Wang's mansion immediately retracted the long sword into its sheath and retreated to both sides.

Gu Yi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and became respectful again.

"Then thank you, my lord, for your cooperation!"

After half an hour.

Gu Yi, who turned Prince Lian's mansion upside down, came out of the backyard of Prince Lian's mansion with an ugly face, ready to lead everyone away.

Chu Lian, who had been waiting at the gate all the time, was sitting on a grand teacher's chair. A low table was moved beside him at some point, and there were refreshments on the low table. Chu Lian was sipping tea.

Qing Mo stepped forward and reminded respectfully.

"Master, they are out."

Then Chu Lian slowly put down the teacup, and looked at Gu Yi provocatively with a slight smile.

"Search for half an hour, can you get anything?"

With a sullen face, Gu Yi stepped forward to salute.

"Isn't the prince afraid of His Royal Highness coming back by acting like this?"

Chu Lian snorted coldly.

"You can't find anything and you still threaten the king?"

At this moment, Gu Yi understood that the Lian Wang in front of him had already thought up a countermeasure, and pretended to promise that the prince would take the blame, but in fact he secretly planned to divert his attention.

At this moment, the Prince's Mansion has suffered a crushing defeat, and he has to send news to the palace as soon as possible, whether there is still time to make amends.

Slowing down his attitude, he bowed his hands respectfully.

"The slave is also following orders, please don't blame the king!"

Chu Lian raised his eyebrows.

"Naturally, you are also a member of the second elder brother's house. This king knows that beating a dog depends on the owner."

Gu Yi's complexion changed, he only hated that he didn't even find anything in the palace, so he couldn't help being presumptuous at this moment, gritted his teeth.

"Is it a slave to disturb His Highness's rest, so let's take people away."

As soon as the voice fell, Gu Yi raised his hand and shouted sharply.

"go!"

Gu Yi left Prince Lian's mansion with his people in a mighty way, and Chu Lian slowly got up.

Walking to the gate of Prince Lian's Mansion, watching Gu Yi's men and horses disappear, the hand hanging by his side gradually tightened.

That night, the alliance between him and the prince was over.

It's time for him to find a way out for himself in the future.

Morning the next day.

Prince Chu Wen was injured and did not return, and there was no clue about what happened in Zizhou.

The people from the Prince's Mansion actually led troops to search Lian Wang's Mansion last night, but found nothing.

Unsurprisingly, the emperor was once again furious.

"What use do I need you for? Such a large amount of raw gold can't be found, what a bunch of trash!"

There was a loud roar from the Hall of Qinzheng, and everyone knelt down to persuade them.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

The emperor was used to hearing these four words, and angrily paced back and forth in front of the dragon chair.

No one dared to speak in the huge Hall of Qinzheng at the moment, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

"Hundred civil and military officials! They are all ministers of the humerus. Are they deaf now? Or dumb? Can't think of a way?"

Seeing everyone kneeling on the ground, the emperor roared angrily.

"Father, my son may have a way to find out something about the Zizhou gold mine."

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded above the hall.

The emperor frowned and took a closer look, it turned out to be Chu Nan who never spoke in court.

He stood up slowly, took two steps forward, and said respectfully.

"Father, would you like to hear it?"

The emperor frowned all the time, with a suspicious look on his face, it could be seen that he did not believe in Chu Nan.

"What way?"

Chu Nan's biological mother was of low status, she was sent to the south of the Yangtze River when she was young, and she was not raised in the palace all year round, so her literary and martial arts skills were naturally inferior to the other princes who were carefully raised in the palace.

He returned to the capital a few months ago, and the emperor didn't feel much affection when he saw him, only felt a little guilty for him.

He simply gave him a mansion, and let him enter the court to learn how to assist in political affairs, so that he can help the prince in the future.

Chuliansi stood there in a gentle manner, speaking seriously.

"According to the reported memorial, it can be seen that the amount of raw gold excavated from the Zizhou Gold Mine is huge. The memorial also said that the raw gold was sent to Kyoto, but such a large amount of raw gold has not been found after ten days of search. Gold made into gold bearing the stamp of the maker."

The analysis was well-founded, and the emperor also calmed down. He flicked the long sleeves of the dragon robe and sat down on the dragon chair.

Chu Nan continued.

"My son thinks that there should be two groups of people to conduct a thorough investigation. The first group of people will go to the suspect's mansion to search. The main purpose is to compare the accounts with the gold amount in the mansion. If they don't match, then there will be serious suspicion."

"Another group of people went to the bank to search. If such a large amount of gold was not hidden in the mansion, it would be scattered and hidden in various banks. Just check to see if anyone has deposited a large amount of gold recently."

In fact, the method is simple, but everyone's eyes have been on the original gold, and they never thought that someone could turn the original gold into gold in private.

As soon as the words fell, the emperor's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but glance at Chu Nangao.

After pondering for a moment, the emperor's deep voice sounded above the hall.

"Since that's the case, then I will leave this matter to you. There is no one in your house. If you need manpower, you can go to the Guard Division to transfer."
