Chapter 2020: The Death of the Six Princes
I thought it was just my own prince who was gone, but now there is a prince and a princess who are missing at the same time?
Also, why did Xiao'er ask someone to check if these people were still there, and did he know something?
Concubine Zhang Defei looked at Huangfu Jingxiao, and saw that his face was gloomy, thoughtful, and she hurriedly said, "Xiao'er, what's going on?"
Huangfu Jingxiao waved his hand, waved away all the subordinates, and then walked in front of Concubine Zhang De, his face was a little helpless, and he said in a deep voice: "Mother concubine, fifteenth prince, seventeenth princess, seventeenth royal brother, have you thought of what they have in common?"
Concubine Zhang Defei said in a daze: "Age, they are all six years old!"
Huangfu Jingxiao said: "Mother concubine, you have me and the seventeenth imperial brother, Concubine Yu, give birth to the seventh prince and the seventeenth princess, and Concubine Feng, give birth to the twelfth prince and the fifteenth prince!"
Concubine Zhang didn't understand, she was already six gods and no master, and subconsciously asked, "So what?"
Huangfu Jingxiao's eyes were dark, and he said, "Mother concubine, do you still remember how the sixth emperor brother died?"
The age difference between the four princes, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince is only a few months, and if the sixth prince is still here, he should be twenty-two years old, but twenty years ago, he died young.
Although the news from the palace said that the sixth prince died of illness, at that time, the mother of the sixth prince angered the emperor and was given death, and not many people paid attention to the life or death of the two-year-old sixth prince.
However, Concubine De heard a very secret rumor: the national teacher sacrificed to the sky and prayed for the blessings of the heavenly dry, and the blood of the royal blood was needed as the guide, and life was sacrificed.
Very few people know about this rumor, and it quickly disappeared in the palace, and it is said that a number of palace people were executed at that time.
The reason for the execution of the palace people may be to put an end to rumors, but perhaps, it is to kill people and kill people!
Although everyone was secretive, and they were almost forgotten, but now that her son was missing, Concubine Zhang Defei immediately remembered it under the reminder of Huangfu Jingxiao.
And tomorrow, it is the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, tonight, the seventeenth prince and the other two princes and princesses of the same age disappeared at the same time, what it represents, it is almost self-evident.
Concubine Zhang Defei took a step back, her legs were weak, she was shaking, and said distractedly: "No, no, the emperor is still so young......"
No matter how young you are, can you be as young as the six princes who were only two years old at the beginning?
Huangfu Jingxiao saw that she was about to fall, and immediately supported her: "Mother, this is just speculation, don't mess up first." ”
Although it was a guess, it had already made Concubine Zhang De's heart as uncomfortable as boiling oil, she thought about it carefully, today is Concubine Chu Xian's birthday, Huangfuyue is the daughter of Concubine Chu Xian, Huangfuyue's master is the national teacher, the national teacher who wants to use the royal blood to sacrifice to the sky.
All the people will go to Concubine Chu Xian's palace to celebrate her birthday, and then, there was another incident where Chengde's horse was killed, and after that, it was the disappearance of the three princes and princesses.
Is it the national teacher and the fifth princess, Concubine Chu Xian colluded and deliberately lured them away, and then the national teacher was good at kidnapping people?
Huangfu Jingxiao said: "Queen Mother, my son will inquire again, don't act rashly first!"
Don't act rashly? Tomorrow is the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, wait until her Hong'er's life and death are separated, and then take action? Concubine Zhang Defei can't do it.
Therefore, after Huangfu Jingxiao left and arranged for someone to inquire and find her, Concubine Zhang immediately went out, she wanted to save her son.
