Qin Su clenched her teeth, and under the fence, the green tendons on her forehead were bulging, and her face was extremely hideous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes, she finally saw the line.

At the moment of meeting on this mountain road, at the moment when she accidentally took a walk, she finally understood that their Qin family, or rather, the four surnames Qin, Xiao, He, and Fan, the real reason for their demise was on this line.

This line, centered on Xiao Jixun, who appeared in Baiyun Temple today, is centered on the dark line that a certain prince buried beside the prince, Li Shutang, and Ouyang Yanran, the prince's later female guard, strung together the entire clue.

Qin Su's heart was cold, and he felt a kind of sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox.

No wonder, the Xiao family will be the first to fall.

How sensitive is the White Cloud Temple?

In this place where Emperor Zhongyuan was deeply jealous, the Xiao family actually dared to have private contact with the crown prince Zhan Shicheng Li Shutang, what was his intention?

The case of Huan's "Ten Killables" was retried, and Xiao Shi took all the charges, is it really because they are guilty, or is it because they touched the bottom line that the emperor can't touch the most?

And the reason for the prince's final deposition is likely to lie in this.

The Huan family has recovered, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the biggest beneficiary.

It is still the thirteenth year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, and the officials around the prince have secretly contacted the Xiao family. It is not difficult to imagine what he would think when this matter was reported to Emperor Zhongyuan through the secret soldiers of Baiyunguan? And two years later, when the crown prince Zhan Shicheng Li Shutang risked his life to admonish, how would Emperor Zhongyuan's heart be shaken?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is planning to have a secret meeting with the Xiao family, and he is so eager to let the backer behind him return to the court, what is his intention?

Even if Qin Su was not familiar with the major events of the court situation, he was able to deduce a terrifying fact according to this context.

This series of events is that someone borrowed the hand of Emperor Zhongyuan to overthrow the crown prince and subvert the Huan family, in order to finally take advantage of the chaos to ascend to the throne. And this person is the lord of Ouyang Yanran and Li Shutang, that is, the unknown prince.

The coldness in Qin Su's eyes grew.

This person's calculation is good, but unfortunately, the heart of the emperor is unpredictable.

The unknown prince may not have imagined that after the crown prince was deposed, Emperor Zhongyuan became more and more indifferent to the princes, and he had no heart to establish a prince at all, until the fall of the Chen State, the position of the crown prince was still vacant.

Qin Su couldn't help but hook his lips and sneered.

People are not as good as heaven.

That prince was like Qin Yanbai, thinking that he had a plan, but in the end, he made a wedding dress for others.

Qin Su walked forward slowly, the perception that had been dull and numb for a long time finally gradually returned to her body.

Her heart was beating like a drum, her ears were ringing, and a slight feeling of dizziness hit her, forcing her to stop again.

She had to calm down and think about who the prince was in the back of that hurried glance.

If she remembers correctly, by the twenty-third year of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, there were a total of fifteen princes under the knee of the Zhongyuan Emperor, except for the abolition of the crown prince's encirclement and the eldest prince's fiefdom of King Rui in the fiefdom, the remaining eleven princes, the oldest under the eighth is only fifteen, which can be removed, from the second to the seventh, they are all adult princes over twenty years old.

However, among these five people, the sixth prince and the seventh prince are only ten years old this year, so they can be left alone, so there are only the second, third, and fourth princes left.

Qin Su frowned and stood for a while, then moved forward again.

There were two things that she never thought about.

When she was watched by "that person," it was nine years ago. Assuming that the person who set up the Qin family was one of these three princes, then, nine years ago, the ages of these three princes were twelve, eleven, and ten.

She really couldn't imagine that a twelve-year-old child would have such a strong interest in the outer room of the Xiaoshi clan who was only four years old and far away in Qingzhou.

From this, Qin Su could only deduce one possibility.

One of these three princes, with the help or instigation of the maternal family, exterminated the Qin family and intended to get involved in the position of the crown prince.

But the problem is that the mother clan of these three princes is a small clan, and the mother clan of the four princes is still the Han clan, in Qin Su's opinion, these clans are even inferior to the Qin family. What can they do to calculate the scholars who are far away in Qingzhou? Don't talk about the side, just say that the agarwood dream is drunk, and those tribes can't afford to use it at all.

Thinking like this, Qin Su had a strange feeling in his heart.

Strange to say, when he was the prince, Emperor Zhongyuan seemed to be very keen on accepting women from the small or Han tribes as concubines. However, since his accession to the throne, Emperor Zhongyuan has lost interest in these small clans, and his concubines have also begun to turn to the noble daughters of the crown family. Therefore, starting with the Seven Princes, the next little princes are much more noble than their royal brothers.

Qin Su pondered the stakes repeatedly, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The reason why Emperor Zhongyuan never established a crown prince later, she guessed, may also have this consideration. He may have wanted to choose one of those princes with noble blood to inherit the throne, and those princes were not too old, so he was not in a hurry to establish a prince, but he didn't expect the country to break down, but it also saved him the trouble of choosing.

With this thought, Qin Su's eyebrows tightened more and more.

The previous questions are still unanswered.

She couldn't understand that these princes, who were only in their early teens nine years ago, really had the ability and means to lay out the Qin clan early when their mother clan couldn't help at all? And if it weren't for the help of the mother's family, who would be the one who helped "that prince"?

In addition, there is another thing that is puzzling.

How could the Qin family be involved, how could they be involved in this dangerous battle for the throne? What kind of grudge does the person or family hidden behind the prince have against the Qin family, a declining little scholar clan, who wants to kill him quickly?

In an instant, countless thoughts came flooding in, making Qin Su almost unable to breathe, and his mind was in chaos.

She bent slightly, pretending to look at a clump of hosta flowers beside the path, sniffing the faint fragrance while combing her thoughts.

Regardless of these princes, the most important thing at the moment is Xiao Jixun and Li Shutang, these two are the first problems that Qin Su has to solve.

According to what we have seen today, Qin Su has three questions:

First, Xiao Jixun disguised himself and deliberately pretended to be a commoner, and went to Beijing to have a private meeting with Li Shutang, what was the purpose?

Second, Li Shutang's appearance in Baiyun Temple was unintentional, or was it intentional? Or even under the instructions of his master, he made an appointment to meet the children of the Xiao family here?

Regarding this question, Qin Su's answer is biased towards the latter.

How big the capital is, the inner three cities plus the outer three cities, the place for the secret meeting is unknown, "that prince" will not be so coincidental, but he chose the Baiyun Temple buried with the golden imperial guard.

There is no such coincidence.

Since her rebirth, in Qin Su's eyes, all coincidences are conspiracy, unless she is allowed to see the evidence with her own eyes.

Then, if we extrapolate from this, then a third question arises.

Third, how did "that prince" know about Baiyun Temple? At the time of the "Jingwang Rebellion", none of these princes were born, who told him about it?
