I insist

Chapter 462: Appearance

Yu Huailin told Du Chun'an his plan, and he believed that Du Chun'an knew exactly what to do.

“That’s how it is. Only you can do these things. You have the ability,” Yu Huailin said very seriously.

Du Chun'an couldn't help but smile: "Didn't I know a long time ago that you already planned for me to do this?"

"You're overthinking it. No, it's just that having you do it is the simplest way. Even without you, the plan would still exist, it would just be a bit more troublesome."

Yu Huailin did not hide anything from Du Chun'an. Since he had chosen to come back, he had to proceed cautiously and not make the slightest mistake.

Du Chun'an had also thought of this, and he nodded: "Okay, then we're in an alliance. It shouldn't be too difficult to have your men escort me out of the city, right?"

"Not only will we send you out of the city, but we'll also dress you up so that you'll attract attention."

Yu Huailin suddenly looked at Du Chun'an with a half-smile.

Seeing his expression, Du Chun'an had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, his guess came true. He looked down at his clothes, which were covered in bloodstains, some of which had already dried, and the clothes were still tattered.

His face and arms were covered in wounds, and he was very pale, looking like he was about to die.

Du Chun'an was surprised that Yu Huailin had such abilities.

Looking at the city gate ahead, Du Chun'an exhaled a breath of stale air, then quickly ran forward, appearing extremely weak.

When they finally reached the city gate, Du Chun'an was about to rush over when he was stopped by soldiers who wouldn't let him in.

Du Chun'an immediately knelt on the ground and said to them, "I am Du Chun'an. I want to go to Yintianfu to report a case. Someone is trying to kill me. I want to report it to the authorities."

After saying this, Du Chun'an calmly looked at the soldiers, which terrified them.

They had heard of Du Chun'an before, knew he was a General of the Cavalry, and knew he was going to the military camp to train soldiers, but they never expected him to return like this.

The soldiers quickly brought Du Chun'an into the Yin Tian Mansion in the capital.

Upon arriving at Yin Tianfu's residence, Du Chun'an immediately knelt on the ground.

The prefect was surprised that the general would kneel before him. He quickly stood up and said, "General, please get up. I cannot accept your kneeling."

"I'm here to report to the authorities. You just do what you need to do and don't worry about me."

Du Chun'an's face was very pale, and it was clear that he was in very poor health and could faint at any moment.

Seeing his tough attitude, the prefect became less polite and asked directly, "Whom do you wish to sue?"

"I want to sue the current Fourth Prince for secretly buying and selling weapons and raising an army in preparation for a rebellion," Du Chun'an said in a very firm tone.

The prefect was surprised that Du Chun'an was suing the fourth prince, and for such a serious matter. He was just a minor prefect and couldn't do anything about it.

However, if you need to ask, you should still ask clearly.

“This matter is of great importance. You are suing the Fourth Prince, but where is the evidence? If there is no evidence, how can you prove that what you said is true?”

The prefect looked at Du Chun'an and spoke, word by word.

"I am the evidence. The reason I became like this is because of the Fourth Prince. Because I discovered his secret, he has been trying to kill me."

"My lord, please handle this matter quickly, otherwise things will get out of control. Please trust me. Moreover, regarding my assassination attempt, I must ask the Emperor for his approval."

Du Chun'an knelt on the ground and spoke very seriously.

The prefect was having a headache. He was just a minor prefect; could they please not give him such difficult tasks?

Finally, he had no other choice. He couldn't resolve the matter himself, so he could only say to Du Chun'an, "This matter is beyond my ability to resolve; it needs to be reported to the Emperor."

Please wait here a moment, General. I will proceed to the palace immediately.

"This is too much trouble for you, sir," Du Chun'an said, frowning slightly.

The Emperor had always believed that Du Chun'an was dead, and he never expected to receive such news. He stood up excitedly and questioned loudly.

"Du Chun'an is suing the Fourth Prince? What's going on?"

The chief eunuch told the emperor everything Du Chun'an had said.

"He said the Fourth Prince sent someone to assassinate him? How is he now?" The Emperor asked softly, his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, according to the Prefect of Yintian Prefecture, the General of the Cavalry is covered in wounds and his face is extremely pale; he looks as if he is about to faint."

Moreover, the General of the Cavalry kept saying that he wanted the Emperor to make a decision for him. "The chief eunuch stood aside and said softly.

Although the Emperor didn't believe the Fourth Prince's plot to usurp the throne, he was still uneasy. He frowned slightly: "The evidence is insufficient; we cannot resolve this so hastily."

This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Justice to see if it is truly as Du Chun'an claims. You go and personally speak with the imperial physician to examine Du Chun'an's injuries.

The Emperor still had some doubts about Du Chun'an, and the two of them had previously had a major falling out over the Empress Dowager's matter.

Du Chun'an didn't retaliate; instead, he even came to remind him, which made him even more puzzled.

The chief eunuch didn't know what the emperor meant, but after hearing the emperor's words, he went out and sent someone to find the imperial physician so they could go to Yintian's residence together.

When the prefect saw the chief eunuch come out, he went straight up to him and asked him some questions, but only told him that the matter had been handed over to the Ministry of Justice.

Afterwards, he took the imperial physician to Yin Tian's residence, where Du Chun'an was still in the main hall.

Upon seeing the chief eunuch arrive, he quickly stood up and nodded slightly to him.

"Greetings, General. His Majesty heard that you were injured and specially sent me with the imperial physician to examine you." The chief eunuch bowed to Du Chun'an.

"Steward, what did the Emperor say about the Fourth Prince's situation? Things are already quite serious on his end; if we don't deal with it soon, it will get out of control."

The people will suffer then; we must urge the Emperor to make a decision as soon as possible.

Du Chun'an looked anxiously at the chief eunuch and spoke.

Upon hearing his words, the chief eunuch knew that he was acting for the people, a great general who cared for the people, but he was just a servant and could not change anything.

"General, please calm down. The Emperor has already handed this matter over to the Ministry of Justice, so please put your mind at ease."

"How can we hand it over to the Ministry of Justice? We should hurry up and find that place. I know where it is. I can take them there," Du Chun'an said with a frown, dissatisfied.

Seeing his anxiety, the chief eunuch continued, "General, you say the Fourth Prince is plotting a rebellion, but there's no evidence. Even if it's true what you say..."

"It cannot be proven that it is the Fourth Prince, and the Emperor will make his own decision on this matter, so the General need not worry about it."
