As soon as the new monarch ascended the throne, Cao An smelled the smell of the eve of the storm, he had been fighting all his life, and he didn't want to spend the only happy time in his later years in the torrent, so he chose the rapids to retire and return to his hometown. But no one thought that his wise self-preservation would lead to death faster.

The messenger who fled from Ningguo's nine deaths and the palace people who reported Cao An's death entered the palace almost at the same time to report the news. As a sojourner of an enemy country during a sensitive period, Shangguan Jingxuan had always known how to pretend to be deaf and dumb to avoid suspicion, so by the time he learned about the deaths of Yuan Tianguo and Cao An, the news had already spread throughout the palace.

Shangguan Jingxuan searched all the palaces that Yuan Chengcheng frequented but didn't find Yuan Chengcheng, and asked a few palace people and said that he hadn't seen the princess, just when he was at a loss, he saw Hongchan next to a bush of white roses.

"Miss Hongchan!" Shangguan Jingxuan hurriedly stopped her, Hongchan is Yuan Chengcheng's personal palace maid, she must know where Yuan Chengcheng went!

"Your Royal Highness Shangguan......" Hongchan's eyes were still slightly red and swollen, and her face was full of sorrow, and she hadn't seen the whole person haggard for two days.

Hongchan bowed slightly to Shangguan Jingxuan, who was hurrying over, and saluted. Shangguan Jingxuan then remembered that Cao An and Hongchan had a personal relationship, and Cao An was assassinated as soon as he left the palace, Hongchan must have been very sad in her heart: "Is the girl sad about Cao's father-in-law?" ”

Hongchan's mood that had just calmed down was fluctuating again because of his greetings, and she didn't want to lose her temper in front of Shangguan Jingxuan, she bit her lower lip and forcibly held back her tears from falling out: "Father-in-law, father-in-law, he ......" Hongchan choked up for a while, and couldn't say anything anymore.

Shangguan Jingxuan thought of Cao Anlai, and his heart was also a little sad: "Although Gonggong Cao was the old head of the palace during his lifetime, he was kind and enthusiastic in dealing with people, and never relied on the old and sold the old; The people of the palace formed a party for their own selfish interests, but Gonggong Cao never had two thoughts about His Majesty King Hua. He devoted his whole life to assisting His Majesty King Hua, and the living may not know everything, but God sees it all, and God will definitely seek justice for Gonggong Cao! ”

Cao An assisted King Hua to do his duty in this life, and he had the grace of reinvention for Hongchan's mother and daughter, but he suddenly encountered an accident, but Hongchan could not find the murderer to avenge him and could not give him a posthumous title to repay his great kindness, at this time, what could make her feel more comforted than listening to others affirm his life's deeds?

"Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. My father-in-law has never had a grudge against anyone but accidentally suffered such a catastrophe, that person will not get away with it like this! Hongchan thought of the bits and pieces of Cao An's life, and her throat choked again, "I will definitely find that person and break that person's body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Shangguan Jingxuan only thought that she was angry for a while, but he never expected that many years later, Hongchan would find the real murderer, and he would really cut that person with a thousand knives: "Good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, and Miss Hongchan should not be too impatient about this matter." My father-in-law has been good all his life, and the people who robbed him will definitely surrender to the law as soon as possible. ”

Cao An has served in the palace for more than 50 years and has accumulated a lot of money. The official document submitted by Fu Yin also said that Cao An was robbed shortly after leaving the palace, his property was looted, and there were many bruises on his body.

Yuan Chengcheng had just learned of his sister's death, and his mind was scattered, and he didn't have the extra heart to think about whether the cause of Cao An's death would be strange, so he believed this statement, but Hongchan didn't believe it! Cao An has followed King Hua in the palace for more than 50 years, and has experienced many turbulent waves, since he is determined to return to his hometown, how can he fight to the death with gangsters for things outside his body? The purpose of those people is not so simple!

Although Hongchan was suspicious in her heart, the evidence was insufficient, she couldn't raise her own questions openly, so she could only investigate secretly: "Hongchan still wants to ask His Royal Highness Shangguan for help in interceding, but I don't know that His Royal Highness Shangguan is inconvenient to help?" ”

"Girl, it's okay, as long as Jing Xuan can help, he will definitely help!" Hongchan has always been steady, and since she opened her mouth to beg him, he could probably do it.

"Father-in-law Cao has served the Lord faithfully all his life, and has dedicated himself to China for more than 50 years, and has never had any selfish desire to seek anything for himself. Now that he is following the first king, Huawang Palace can't just let him go! ”

"That girl means ......" Shangguan Jingxuan probably already understood what she wanted him to help with.

"I want to ask the princess to posthumously crown him as the prince of the country, but I am soft-spoken, and the princess is afraid that she will not agree, so I want to ask His Royal Highness for help!" Hongchan didn't want to embarrass Shangguan Jingxuan, but Shangguan Jingxuan was the only one who could help her.

"This ......" Shangguan Jingxuan was a little embarrassed, the prince of the country is generally either a prince or a general who has made great contributions to the country on the battlefield all year round, although Cao An has contributed a lot, but after all, he is just an internal servant.

Hongchan's expression darkened, it was indeed a little abrupt for her to ask Shangguan Jingxuan like this, but King Hua and Cao An have had a friendship for more than 50 years, which can be described as brothers, and on the other hand, Cao An is still the old father-in-law of King Hua in a sense, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the prince of the country from these two aspects. But the difficulty is that it is difficult for outsiders to be humane in both aspects, and it is not possible to pray for evidence of the title on the front.

Shangguan Jingxuan saw Hongchan's disappointed face, and he had the posture of shedding tears in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but soften: "I'll talk to the princess, but I don't dare to guarantee the specific result." ”

"His Royal Highness Shangguan is willing to help Hongchan with this favor, how dare she expect that this matter will be successful?" Hongchan's dim eyes lit up again all of a sudden, as if she really saw some hope.

Shangguan Jingxuan nodded absentmindedly, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for agreeing to this matter in a daze, how could he open his mouth to Yuan Chengcheng? "Uh...... By the way, I haven't found the princess just now, I don't know if Miss Hongchan knows where the princess has gone? ”

"Princess?" Hongchan was stunned for a moment, and her heart seemed to be stabbed by the tip of ice, which was cold and painful. Yes, Yuan Tingguo has just died, so he is naturally anxious to comfort Yuan Tingcheng, who lost his father and sister! No wonder he was so eager to find her just now, it turned out that he was looking for the princess and didn't find it, she thought it was ......

"Princess...... The princess just said that she wanted to be alone and didn't want to be disturbed. I saw her going in the direction of the city tower, maybe ......" Hongchan didn't know why, and suddenly hoped that the message Shangguan Jingxuan got from her words was not the city tower, but the princess, and didn't want people to disturb her.

"Thank you girl for your advice, Jing Xuan will leave first!" It's a pity that the sky doesn't obey people's wishes, and as soon as Shangguan Jingxuan heard that Yuan Chengcheng was in the city tower, he immediately forgot that she was also sad, and ran in the direction of the city tower with an anxious face.

Hongchan stood there stunned, looking at Shangguan Jingxuan, who had always been solemn and self-controlled, running all the way to the city tower, and suddenly felt abandoned in her heart......
