Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chu Ze was handling government affairs while secretly investigating the cause of Concubine Li's death. He sent people to secretly interrogate the maids and eunuchs around Concubine Li, but did not get any useful clues.

Just when he was at his wits' end, an unexpected person showed up - the guard of the cold palace, Old Li.

Old Li knelt before Chu Ze tremblingly and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Chu Ze had an idea and signaled Old Li to stand up and speak.

Old Li raised his head and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, before Concubine Li committed suicide, I saw a dark shadow coming out of the cold palace..."

"Dark shadow?" Chu Ze frowned, "Can you see who it is?"

Old Li shook his head and said, "It was too dark, I couldn't see clearly, but...but I heard the shadow yell 'Prince'..."

"Prince?" Chu Ze was shocked. Could it really be Chu Yun?
He continued to ask: "What else did you hear?"

Old Li hesitated for a moment and said, "I also heard...I heard Concubine Li say, 'You promised me...'"

"What did you promise?" Chu Ze's heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came to his mind.

Old Li shook his head and said, "I didn't hear clearly..."

Chu Ze waved his hand, signaling Old Li to step back.

He sat alone on the dragon throne, lost in thought. Chu Yun, the prince, what did you promise... These fragmented information pieced together into a vague picture in his mind, but he could not see the truth clearly.

Did Chu Yun agree to some conditions from Concubine Li, and then go back on his word, causing Concubine Li to commit suicide out of despair?

The more Chu Ze thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Chu Yun was ambitious, and he would do anything for the throne!

He stood up suddenly, walked to the window, looked at the night sky in the distance, his heart filled with anger and murderous intent.

"Chu Yun, you'd better pray that I can't find evidence, otherwise, I will tear you into pieces!" He said gritting his teeth, his voice full of coldness.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard requests to see you!" An eunuch's voice sounded outside the door.

Chu Ze took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He said in a deep voice: "Xuan!"

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard walked quickly into the imperial study, knelt on the ground, and presented a letter with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this was found by me in Concubine Li's bedroom."

Chu Ze took the letter, unfolded it, and his face suddenly turned pale.

There were only a few lines in the letter, but it was like a thunderclap that exploded in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I am pregnant with a dragon heir. I hope Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body and not be too sad for me. If I encounter any misfortune, it must be the fault of Prince Chu Yun. I hope Your Majesty will avenge me and the child in my belly!"

Chu Ze's hands were shaking, and he could hardly hold the letter in his hand. Concubine Li... was actually pregnant with his child! And this child was killed by his own hands!

He slammed the letter on the table and roared, "Chu Yun! I want you dead!"

He could no longer suppress his anger, so he grabbed the inkstone on the table and smashed it to the ground.

"Someone! Pass the order down, arrest Chu Yun immediately! No matter if he's dead or alive!"

Just when Chu Ze ordered the arrest of Chu Yun, in a secret house in the capital, Chu Yun was plotting something with Zhao Kun... Chu Yun had a sinister smile on his face, raised his wine glass, and said to Zhao Kun: "Brother Zhao, thanks to you this time, that bitch Li Fei is finally dead! When I ascend the throne, I will definitely not treat you badly!" Zhao Kun smiled sinisterly and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, that bitch Li Fei is dead, even if she left a suicide note, the emperor would only think it was her nonsense before she died."

Chu Yun raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Brother Zhao, the day I ascend the throne will be the day for you to be promoted! By then, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

Zhao Kun also became excited, as if he had seen himself wearing a brocade robe and enjoying wealth and splendor. "Your Highness, what should we do next..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. Then, the door was slammed open, and a group of Jinyiwei rushed in and surrounded the two men.

The leading Jinyiwei shouted sternly: "According to the emperor's order, arrest the King of Chu. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Chu Yun's face changed drastically, and he pointed at the Jinyiwei and shouted angrily: "How dare you! I am a prince, how dare you trespass into my mansion!"

The Jinyiwei sneered, drew out his sword, pointed at Chu Yun and said, "Here is the imperial decree. If the King of Chu disobeys it, his crime will be even greater! Capture him!"

Chu Yun knew that the truth had been revealed and he could no longer pretend. He drew his sword and said to Zhao Kun beside him, "Brother Zhao, let's fight our way out!"

Zhao Kun also drew his weapon, and the two of them fought with the Jinyiwei.

Although Chu Yun's martial arts skills were not weak, two fists could not defeat four hands, and he soon fell behind. Zhao Kun was even besieged by several Jinyiwei and was in danger.

"Chu Yun, you can't run away!" The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard shouted sternly, pointing the sword in his hand directly at Chu Yun's throat.

Chu Yun's eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness. He didn't expect the truth to be exposed so quickly, and he didn't expect Chu Ze to be so decisive as to directly send the Jinyiwei to arrest him.

"I won't accept this! I won't accept this!" Chu Yun roared, waving the sword in his hand, making his final struggle.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from the roof and joined the battle. The black shadow was agile and fierce, and several Jinyiwei were knocked to the ground in an instant.

Chu Yun and Zhao Kun immediately saw hope. Chu Yun shouted in surprise: "Shadow Guard! Quick, escort this king away!"

The black shadow nodded, protected Chu Yun and Zhao Kun, fought his way out, and disappeared into the night.

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard looked at the direction they fled, his face gloomy, and he clenched the sword in his hand.

……

When Chu Ze learned that Chu Yun had escaped, he became furious and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Useless! A bunch of useless! They can't even catch Chu Yun!"

He paced back and forth, the anger in his heart burning. As long as Chu Yun was not eliminated, he would not have peace!
"Your Majesty, please calm down." A eunuch advised cautiously.

Chu Ze took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Pass the order down, block the entire city, and dig three feet deep to find Chu Yun for me!"

……

In a dilapidated temple outside the capital, Chu Yun was pale and had several scars on his body. Zhao Kun was not much better, one of his arms was chopped by the Jinyiwei and was bleeding.

"Prince, what should we do now?" Zhao Kun asked in pain, covering his wound.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chu Yun's eyes. "The only option now is to surrender to Northern Yan! As long as Northern Yan sends troops, we can fight our way back to the capital and take back everything that belongs to me!"

Zhao Kun nodded in agreement. (End of this chapter)
