I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

After Chen Jue was hurriedly taken away by the prince's men, he came to the prince's palace.

The palace is still majestic and magnificent, with the vermilion gate standing majestically, and the guards at the door standing tall and solemn. Walking into the palace, you will see carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent and golden, showing the royal dignity and majesty everywhere.

But at the moment, Chen Jue had no mood to appreciate these things. His mind was filled with the thrill of being hunted and worries about the future.

The prince had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and when he saw Chen Jue coming in, his face showed concern. He walked up quickly and carefully examined Chen Jue's wound.

The prince's eyes were filled with worry and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"Chen Jue, is your injury serious? Let me take a look." The prince said anxiously, his tone full of concern.

Chen Jue bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, my injury is not serious. Thank you for your concern."

Chen Jue's face was a little pale, but his eyes were still firm.

The prince took Chen Jue to sit down and asked the attendant to bring tea. "Chen Jue, please tell me the details of the process of being hunted down."

The prince said, a serious look in his eyes.

Chen Jue nodded and began to recount their experience of being hunted down. His voice was steady and powerful, as if he was telling a thrilling story.

"Your Highness, we went through many hardships at the bottom of the cliff and finally found the way back. However, we were hunted by unknown forces along the way. At the beginning, we were walking in a mountain forest, and suddenly a group of men in black rushed out from all directions. They all held sharp blades and had cold eyes. They rushed towards us without saying a word. My sister and I fought hard, but they were outnumbered and we gradually fell into trouble. Those men in black had sharp moves and tacit cooperation. They were obviously strictly trained killers. They seemed to know our whereabouts very well and would appear when we least expected it. We fought and retreated, trying to find a chance to escape. However, they chased us relentlessly and did not give us any chance to breathe."

"Can you see the identities of these people?"

"They are all masked, so I can't see their faces clearly. But judging from their moves and actions, they must be professional killers. Their attacks are very organized, and their advances and retreats are orderly. They are definitely not ordinary gangsters. Moreover, they seem to know our whereabouts very well, and they always appear when we least expect it. I suspect there is a powerful force behind them directing them."

"Why do you think they are hunting you down?"

Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I think this must be related to our thorough investigation of corruption. Those noble families were upset because we disturbed their interests. After our investigation, we found that their money came from illegal sources and could no longer be hidden, so they sent people to hunt us down. Your Highness, think about it, we have found many scandals of those noble families during our investigation. They usually do whatever they want by relying on their power and influence, and corruption and bribery are commonplace. Now we are going to expose all their evil deeds, how can they not be afraid?"

"That's right. I also sent people to investigate. Combined with what Wei Lang said, this hunt was probably a joint effort by the King of Jin and the King of Zhao. These two princes have always had close ties with the great noble families. In order to protect their own interests, they colluded with the great noble families to deal with us."

"Your Highness, this shows that our actions have already made those great noble families feel threatened. They have revealed their true colors, and we can use this assassination to capture the main culprit and punish him severely."

"You have a point. But we need to think long and hard about this matter, and we must not act rashly. Those great noble families are very powerful, and we must act carefully. They have deep roots in the court, and their relationships are very complicated. If we act rashly, it is likely to cause even greater trouble."

"Your Highness, we can secretly send people to continue investigating those noble families involved in the corruption case and look for evidence of their crimes. At the same time, we can also use this assassination to create some public pressure and let everyone know about the evil deeds of these noble families."

"Chen Jue, you are indeed very smart. Let's do as you say and collect evidence in secret. However, we must also pay attention to our own safety. Those great noble families will not give up and they may send people to assassinate us again."

"I understand. We will definitely strengthen our defenses to prevent another assassination attempt. Your Highness, let's arrange some trustworthy people around you and have them keep an eye on the surroundings. Once there is any sign of trouble, we can respond immediately."

"You've thought this through very carefully."

"Your Highness, we can start with the merchants who have economic dealings with the great nobles. These merchants often collude with the great nobles for profit, and they may know about some of the corruption crimes of the great nobles. We can secretly investigate these merchants and look for clues. In addition, we can also start from within the great nobles. The great nobles are a large family, and there are bound to be some conflicts and disputes within. We can use these conflicts to find those who are dissatisfied with the great nobles and obtain evidence from them. Your Highness, we can also investigate the industries and properties of the great nobles to see if they have any illegal possession and corruption."

"That makes sense. We need to take a multi-pronged approach and collect comprehensive evidence. Chen Jue, how do you think we should create public pressure?"

"Your Highness, we can find some gossipers and have them spread the evil deeds of the great nobles in teahouses and restaurants. These people are well-informed and quick-witted, so they will definitely spread the news. We can also find some people who can write, write some short stories about the corruption of the great nobles, and then secretly distribute them. Let everyone see the ugly faces of these great nobles. Your Highness, we can also use some folk artists and have them insert some jokes satirizing the great nobles during their performances. In this way, everyone can learn about the evil deeds of the great nobles while having fun."

"We should be careful not to make things too serious. How do you think we should choose the main culprit family?"

"These great noble families colluded with the King of Jin and the King of Zhao and participated in the assassination of us. Their crimes are even more serious. Your Highness, we must let the other great noble families see our determination and strength so that they will not dare to oppose us again."

The prince looked at Chen Jue with a look of relief in his eyes.

"I feel relieved when you are by my side."

"Your Highness, this is my duty. I will do my best to help Your Highness."

Chen Jue's eyes revealed loyalty and determination.

The prince said again: "Chen Jue, this matter is not easy to handle. Those great noble families are not easy to mess with. We have to be careful. If we are not careful, we may get into big trouble."

"Your Highness, I understand. But we can't back down just because they are difficult to deal with. The more arrogant they are, the more we must expose their evil deeds. Otherwise, who knows what kind of mess the world will be in."

"Well, you're right. We can't let them do whatever they want. However, we can't be careless in the process of collecting evidence. If the evidence is not sufficient, it will be difficult for us to take action against them."

The prince said, "Okay, let's do as you say. Chen Jue, this matter is really tricky. We must handle it carefully and cannot make the slightest mistake."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best to live up to Your Highness's trust. We will definitely be able to expose the evil deeds of those great noble families and bring justice to the world."

During this challenging time, the prince and Chen Jue worked closely together to plan future actions.
