Chapter 155 Princess Jia Attempts to Become Emperor
It turned out that the palace maid had already noticed that Zhan Ping was following her, so she deliberately led him here.
This seemingly dilapidated temple is actually a secret room filled with traps.
At this moment, Zhan Ping is trapped inside, his life or death is uncertain.
When Zhan Ping finally woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar cell with his hands and feet tied.
He sat up with difficulty and tried to recall what had happened before.
At this time, the door of the cell slowly opened, and a familiar figure walked in—it was the palace maid!
She looked at Zhan Ping with a sneer, a hint of pride in her eyes.
"You...who are you..." Zhan Ping asked through gritted teeth.
"Haha, don't you know who I am?" the palace maid sneered.
Hearing this, Zhan Ping stared at her face carefully. He was sure that the palace maid in front of him was the one he had seen on the palace road before, but her voice was so familiar.
"Hmph, should I know you? Who do you think you are?" Zhan Ping said fiercely.
"You are as ruthless as ever!" As she said this, she tore off her own face.
In an instant, Zhan Ping was stunned. It turned out that she was not a palace maid at all, but Princess Jia.
"How could it be you? What do you want to do? Did you kill those people?" Zhan Ping looked at Princess Jia in astonishment. He couldn't believe what he saw.
Princess Jia sneered, her eyes full of resentment: "Yes, it was me. So what if I killed those people? They were just some untouchables."
"So, you were the one who peeled off those people's faces?" Zhan Ping looked at her with bloodshot eyes.
Princess Jia approached step by step, her eyes like ice: "Oh, it's their honor to be peeled off by me!"
As she spoke, she raised the face in her hand, and then continued with a ferocious look: "It is your honor that I like you, but you don't know how to appreciate it. But it doesn't matter anymore. What I can't get, no one else can get."
Before he finished speaking, Princess Jia raised the dagger in her hand and stabbed at him.
At this critical moment, the secret guards quickly took action and blocked Princess Jia's attack.
Zhan Ping looked carefully and found that the person coming was actually the secret guard sent by the emperor to protect him.
Princess Jia knew that her kung fu was not good enough, so she immediately retreated. Relying on her familiarity with the mechanisms in the secret room, she escaped quickly.
Seeing this, the secret guards quickly looked for the mechanism on the wall, while Yin San walked up to Zhan Ping and untied him.
Zhan Ping breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yin San with gratitude.
However, his heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness. He didn't know what this crazy woman Princess Jia was trying to do.
"We can't stay here for long. Let's get out first." Yin San analyzed calmly.
Zhan Ping nodded and followed Yin San out of the secret room.
"It seems that this matter is getting bigger and bigger!" Yin San sighed as he walked.
Zhan Ping said with a firm look: "This matter has already involved the royal family. I will report it to His Majesty."
Thinking of this, the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the palace.
On the way, Zhan Ping said to Yin San with great concern: "Princess Jia's actions this time are extremely cruel. If we don't report it to His Majesty in time, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble."
Yin San agreed: "That's true, but this matter concerns the royal family, so we need to be extremely cautious in handling it."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the palace. Zhan Ping straightened his clothes and decided to see the emperor immediately.
Then he reported the whole incident to Chu Junze in front of the emperor.
After hearing this, the gloom on Chu Junze's face almost solidified. After he let out a long sigh, he ordered: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. As for Princess Jia, Long Yi, go and capture her. I want to interrogate her personally."
After receiving the order, Long Yi immediately led a team of secret guards and left quietly.
However, Princess Jia had already hidden herself at this time. She knew that she had been exposed, but fortunately Chu Junze definitely didn't know her plan.
So she hid herself again with peace of mind. After all, she had been planning for so long, and the world would be hers sooner or later.
If he, Chu Junze, can be emperor, so can she, Chu Jiahe!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, but the smile on her face became more and more hideous.
A few days later, Long Yi and his men still hadn't found Princess Jia's whereabouts.
Chu Junze frowned, he understood that Princess Jia must be planning a bigger conspiracy.
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, a mysterious letter was delivered to him.
The text in the letter warned him that if he continued to investigate, there would be more dire consequences.
Chu Junze's heart sank as he realized that his opponent was more cunning and dangerous than he had imagined.
However, faced with threats, Chu Junze did not back down. He began to secretly collect clues and investigate every suspicious person in the palace.
He didn't believe that Chu Jiahe had the brains to stir up so many things, so the person who cooperated with her must be the mastermind behind the scenes.
Indeed, everything happened just as Chu Junze had expected. Princess Jia did not have that kind of brain, but that was because she was stupid and conceited enough.
At the same time, Chu Jiahe has been hiding in the dark for almost five days. She is confident in her plan and believes that as long as she waits for the right opportunity, she can seize the throne in one fell swoop.
However, what she didn't expect was that Chu Junze's actions were quicker and more decisive than she expected.
With his keen insight and wisdom, he finally found Chu Jiahe who had been hiding in a cave near the imperial mausoleum.
When she was finally taken back to the palace by Long Yi and his men, she knew that she was finished.
When she was brought in front of Chu Junze, her eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness.
Chu Junze looked at her coldly, "Chu Jiahe, I have already investigated all your crimes. Now, do you have anything else to say?"
Chu Jiahe gnashed his teeth and said, "Chu Junze, don't be too proud too soon! Even if I lose, I won't let you off easily!"
Chu Junze frowned slightly, "What kind of storm do you think you can stir up? Your plan has failed, and the power you relied on has been disintegrated by me."
At this moment, a guard came running over and handed a piece of urgent information to Chu Junze.
Chu Junze quickly browsed through the information and his expression instantly became solemn.
He raised his head, his sharp eyes fixed on Chu Jiahe, and he said in a cold tone: "It seems that your accomplices have abandoned you.
They chose to protect themselves rather than continue to support you, a doomed person."
Chu Jiahe gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Chu Junze, don't be so arrogant! Even if I fail this time, I will never let you have an easy time!"
Her eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.
Chu Junze frowned and responded coldly: "Do you think you still have any ability? Your conspiracy has been discovered, and the forces you rely on have been defeated by me.
Now you are nothing but a loser."
