News came from the capital that Emperor Zhou Chang'an's condition was getting worse and worse, and he was nowhere to be seen except for Father-in-law Qi and Zhou Changying. Except for Liu Yiquan and Wang Qi, he didn't believe in other imperial doctors. Except for these few people he trusted, he didn't even let anyone get close, including Zhou Tianhong, the eldest prince who was acting on behalf of the ruling prince.

After arguing with Zhou Tianhong a few times, the Empress Dowager Lu Qishan announced that she would no longer ask about anything, closed the door of the Shouxi Palace, and prayed for the emperor and the Great Seal in the Buddhist hall all day long.

In the past few days, there has been a major event in the capital, that is, Princess Ziling, the concubine of the Great Prince's Mansion, has slipped a tire. And it is said to be related to the eldest princess Lan Ziyue, so Lan Ziyue is now under house arrest in her own courtyard as if she has been beaten into a cold palace, and she is not allowed to come and go at will, and no one cares.

Zhou Tianhong was very much looking forward to the child Lan Ziling was carrying, but Lan Ziyue was jealous and drugged Lan Ziling's diet, which caused Lan Ziling's fetus to be unsafe and almost died. In this regard, Zhou Tianhong was furious, and he couldn't wait to kill Lan Ziyue with his own hands, if it weren't for Lan Ziyue being Lan Ziheng's own sister, he would never let go of this vicious woman who killed his child.

Lan Ziling was heartbroken, in pain, and wanted to die several times, but was rescued by Zhou Tianhong and her personal maid.

For this reason, Zhou Tianhong often ignored the government during this time, but spent a lot of time with his beloved concubine who washed her face with tears all day long.

News also came from Fengnancheng, and General Zuo Teng, who was sent by Zhou Tianhong to Fengnancheng to take over the Pingnan army, finally arrived at the Pingnan military camp. Moreover, he received the courtesy of General Zhao, personally met him, and talked with him secretly for a full hour in the general's tent.

However, that night, General Zuo Teng rushed back to the capital without stopping on the grounds that he had received a secret order from the capital.

Last time, Lin Wan asked Gale to investigate the cause of Zuo Teng's death in Fengming City, Gale used all his strength, and finally found Zuo Teng's body, and found out that the person who secretly killed Zuo Teng was Zhou Tianhong's secret guard.

With the help of Su Ziran, the Shadowless Pavilion arrested the secret guard led by him in the capital, and used all kinds of means to finally force him to write a confession by hand, writing the incident in great detail, and even listed the names of all the secret guards who participated in the assassination, which was quite a lot. Some of them have been with Zhou Tianhong, and they are also people who are known to Zuo Er, so Zuo Er has to believe it.

The Shadowless Pavilion used the Flying Eagle to pass the book and sent this confession to Fengnan City and to Zhao Fengwu's hands. At the same time, Zuo Teng's body has also been secretly sent to Fengnan City and returned to Zuo Er. And the secret guard who wrote the confession army is still in the hands of the Shadowless Pavilion, if the second left has any suspicions, he can be interrogated in person after returning to Beijing.

The second left knows Zhou Tianhong's personality very well, and after reading the confession, he has completely believed Zhao Fengwu's words. Therefore, he asked Zhao Fengwu to help conceal that he had been to Fengnancheng, but as soon as he received Zhou Tianhong's secret order to summon him back to Beijing, he had already returned to Beijing in accordance with the order, and he had never been to Fengnancheng, let alone met Zhao Fengwu.

The reason why he did this is self-evident, naturally it is to keep Zhou Tianhong from being suspicious, so that he can return to Zhou Tianhong's side and wait for the opportunity to avenge his brother.

In addition, even Bicheng also came with good news that Tong Xinyan was pregnant. The whole Zhao family was very happy about this, especially the old lady and old lady of the Zhao family.

After experiencing the suppression and siege of the imperial court, being forced to flee the capital, sacrificing so many domestic servants, and experiencing great anger and grief, the Zhao family finally ushered in a great happy event, which gave the Zhao family who was immersed in gloom a new hope and joy.

After Lin Wan heard the news, she was also very happy, and immediately began to think about what congratulatory gifts to give to Tong Xinyan and Zhao Mingjin, and what gifts to give to her nephew who had not yet been born.

Then, Gale Gale talked about what happened in Jingtai Hall two days ago. Although Ximen Longao ordered that no word should be spread, Gale Gale had already found out the news and knew what happened that day.

On that day, Grandpa Hua rushed into the Jingtai Hall with the guards, and saw that the people in the Jingtai Hall were running to the inner hall, and Grandpa Hua followed suspiciously.

But he didn't expect to see a scene that he didn't want to see anyway. However, since he had already arrived, he could not pretend not to know, so he had to order the guards to tie up the man who was lying next to Princess Hongde.

Moreover, he ordered the guards in the Jingtai Hall to surround the dormitory of Princess Hongde, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Then, he personally ran back to the banquet hall to report the incident to Ximen Longao.

When Ximen Longao heard that Princess Hongde was lying naked with her guards, he was so shocked that he almost overturned the table. Suddenly got up and called Ximen Yuqing, Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting to rush to Jingtai Hall together.

Ximen Longao secretly rejoiced, fortunately, the man lying with Princess Hongde was not a guard of Xiling Kingdom, but a person brought by Princess Hongde herself, even if this incident happened in Xiling Kingdom, it can only show that Princess Hongde lived an inappropriate life, or she didn't know anyone, and brought a guard who coveted her master by her side, and took advantage of the fact that her master was drunk and did such a dirty thing to her master.

When Ximen Longao arrived at Jingtai Palace, Hong Xiaotian had already woken up, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he almost hit his head and died. When she learned that the person who ruined her innocence was actually Anu who her father ordered her to bring to Xiling Kingdom, she was so angry that she suddenly pulled out her long sword and stabbed Anu to death with a sword.

Hong Xiaotian said that she didn't want to see the person who ruined her life, so the guards carried Anu out.

When Lan Ziheng entered Hong Xiaotian's room, he happened to see the guards carrying Anu's body out, and saw Anu naked, with a long sword straight into his heart, blood staining his whole body.

Hong Xiaotian had already dressed, but his hair was messy, his face was full of tears, he shrunk in the corner of the bed, holding the quilt, trembling.

Lu Manting hurriedly went over to comfort her, and accompanied Hong Xiaotian to cry sadly. Hong Xiaotian was stunned, no one paid attention to him, just desperately shed tears.

Lan Ziheng looked distressed, but he couldn't persuade him, so he could only order his cronies to secretly investigate the matter thoroughly, and he must seek justice for his beloved cousin.

When such a thing happens, Ximen Longao has nothing to say, since Lan Ziheng wants to investigate, let him investigate. After explaining that Gonggong Hua ordered everyone not to spread the matter, he left with Ximen Yuqing.

Anu is dead, and Lan Ziheng can't find out anything. It was only found that Hong Xiaotian's maid sent Hong Xiaotian back to the room that night, and after he was settled, he stayed outside Hong Xiaotian's door together and never left for a moment.
