After a while, Chen Jin stood up suddenly, making Liu Yu next to him tense up in fear: "Master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Our family just figured it out. This matter needs to be reported to His Majesty immediately."
After all, they were remnants of the previous dynasty, and they had accomplices helping each other in the palace. Telling Chu Yanwu himself was a great achievement.
But with such a good thing, he is still hesitating?
Could it be that using such a handle, he could threaten Xiao Chen and get benefits from him?
I feel ridiculous just thinking about it.
He walked in a hurry and arrived at the imperial study room in a blink of an eye.
After the eunuch at the door announced, he hurried in on tiptoes, "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
Chu Yanwu was also busy reviewing the memorials, and he happened to approve Zhang Dongyang's memorials. They were originally some unpleasant contents, but now Chen Jin was shouting unpleasant words.
He immediately frowned in frustration and threw the book aside.
He glared at Chen Jin coldly: "What's the matter?"
Chen Jinjin looked at the maids and eunuchs serving on the left and right, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chu Yanwu asked Chen Jin to do too many dirty things, and looking at his state, he felt a little guilty.
He immediately waved his hand: "You all go down."
After all the unimportant people left, he glared at Chen Jin who was alone there, "Can we talk now?"
But Chen Jin suddenly knelt down and told the story about Xiao Chen and Jin Chengzhong in fear.
Chu Yanwu frowned slightly: "Is there such a thing? It's too ridiculous!"
He chuckled twice and said playfully: "With Xiao Chen's careless look, do you think he is from the former royal family?"
It is really unbelievable that eunuchs and princes should be classified as the same person as these two very different people.
Chen Jin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Your Majesty, he must have pretended to do those things."
"Xiao Chen is so scheming. If you don't take it seriously, he will definitely be your biggest threat in the future!"
Looking at Chen Jin's tense face, there was a look of panic between his brows.
Chu Yanwu sighed slightly.
Chen Jin even said that if Xiao Chen was really the prince, his status would definitely be deeply affected.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Do you have any evidence?"
"evidence……"
Chen Jin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shook his head dully, "Your Majesty, regarding the evidence, I am still investigating it. I believe there will be a result soon."
"So, what you said before were all your own guesses?"
Chen Jin did not deny it, but Chu Yanwu's expression became more sinister and ugly.
Immediately he glanced over with a cold look, with a sharp edge like a knife: "Chen Jin, you have always been meticulous and serious in your work, but you said some ridiculous things in front of me that have no evidence?"
After all, Xiao Chen has wisdom and strategy. Even if he usually acts carelessly, this is still a sharp weapon in his hand.
It is really not safe for him to use one-sided words to deal with himself.
Chen Jin shrank his neck, and his head dropped to the ground a few more times. He bit the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, although Luo Cai has no direct evidence to prove that Xiao Chen is the former prince, Jin Chengzhong's identity is indeed suspicious."
"As a former bodyguard of the royal family, he has an inextricable relationship with Xiao Chen, and he even risked his life to survive in the palace for him."
"With such a sacrifice, Xiao Chen may not only be an ordinary prince, but the prince who mysteriously disappeared!"
Evidence and other things, under absolutely reasonable reasoning, become less important.
Besides, this still concerns the former prince!
Chu Yanwu frowned, and the confusion and confusion flickering between his brows still made him feel that the fact that Xiao Chen was the prince was really ridiculous.
He said: "Maybe the prince is someone else, he is just using Xiao Chen as a cover."
From the perspective of his own interests, he still hopes that Xiao Chen is the eunuch under his control.
But Chen Jin raised his head and shook his head firmly: "He and Xiao Chen are deeply involved. Xiao Chen is the biggest suspect no matter what."
As if he thought of something, he suddenly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if you are really doubtful, you might as well re-examine Xiao Chen's identity."
"If he was really the prince of the previous dynasty, then Jin Chengzhong wouldn't really just watch him become an eunuch and ignore him."
If the emperor becomes a eunuch, even the former prince will have no need to support him.
Chu Yanwu did not give an answer immediately, but continued to think deeply.
At this moment, a young eunuch came in eagerly: "Your Majesty, eunuch Liu Yu asked to see you and said he had something important to report."
Chen Jin's face was filled with joy: "Your Majesty, Liu Yu is my slave's apprentice. I asked him to capture Jin Chengzhong before, so I think he has achieved his goal."
"At worst, if Jin Chengzhong is tortured to extract a confession, maybe he can gain something!"
After hearing what he said, Chu Yanwu also said directly: "Let him come in."
Liu Yu walked quickly and knelt beside Chen Jin, but she came alone.
Chen Jin had a bad premonition and asked in a low voice: "Why are you the only one, where is the old eunuch?"
Liu Yu came here to say exactly this, "Master, I just ordered you to go to Fu Sushi to capture Jin Chengzhong, but I found that he was missing!"
Chen Jin's face changed drastically: "Gone? Are you kidding? A living person can disappear out of thin air!"
Please pay attention to confirm again and again that you have searched carefully.
He even said: "My disciple has already asked the old eunuch who was on duty with Jin Chengzhong at Fu Sushi that day. He said that Jin Chengzhong has not come back since last night."
Disappeared all night...
Even Chu Yanwu, who was sitting in a high position, couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly at this moment.
He asked: "Didn't anyone notice when he disappeared?"
Liu Yu shook his head repeatedly: "I've already asked. Anyway, I haven't seen anyone since I was on duty. Until I went to catch someone just now, there was no sign of him. He disappeared quietly."
This is strange. The palace is so tight and the living people are missing?
Chen Jin was also a little annoyed. The only person who could know the clues was missing, and he had one less reason to doubt Xiao Chen's identity.
Chu Yanwu suddenly said: "Bring that man in, I will interrogate him."
After a while, a slovenly old eunuch was brought in by two people.
Seeing that the emperor was on the throne and Chen Jin was kneeling below him, he was so frightened that he couldn't straighten his legs and fell to his knees with a plop.
"Meet the Emperor!"
Unexpectedly, after spending a lifetime at Fuku Sushi, I would still be lucky enough to meet the emperor.
"Raise your head and let me ask you, how is Jin Chengzhong, who is on duty with you, usually?"
Although she didn't know why they were so interested in Jin Chengzhong, the old lady raised her head and her peripheral vision fell on Chen Jin.
