Chapter 424: The Beginning of the Truth
"Often, the more inconspicuous these people become, the more terrifying they become." Murong Xuanji asked with a solemn expression, "What is your impression of this third prince, what kind of person do you think he is?" β
Xuanyuan Hao shook his head and said: "Because the number of meetings is not much, so I don't know very well, but every time I meet, I greet him with a smile, I look kind, and I often go to the palace to give the imperial concubine, I am relatively filial, and occasionally I will ask the queen and other concubines to say goodbye, and I am very friendly to other princes and princesses who are younger than him, so my reputation is quite good." β
"Hearing you say this, I feel like a very kind person, but if the person you see in the code is really the third prince's subordinate, and the third prince is secretly investigating the cause of the second prince's death, what do you think is the reason for him to do this?" Murong Xuanji glanced at Xuanyuan Hao, and then continued to guide him: "Even if the third prince is kind, he and the second prince are not children born from the same mother after all, and there should not be many intersections in normal times, so it should not be for the second prince to find out the cause of the second prince's death." β
"Do you suspect he has another purpose?" Xuanyuan Hao was secretly surprised, "If he really has another purpose, then he is really a very dangerous person, he looks so innocent on the surface, but his mind is very deep, and he hides it so well." β
"Husband, the death of the second prince, are you sure that only a few of us, the queen and the eldest prince know that it was the poison of the eldest prince?" Murong Xuanji suddenly asked, "What if the third prince also knows that it is the poisoner of the eldest prince, so he secretly sent someone to find evidence?" β
"But why did he do it?" Xuanyuan Hao asked a little puzzled: "He has no grievances with the eldest prince, why should he look for evidence that the eldest prince killed the second prince?" It doesn't make sense to say that he wants to let the second prince. β
"What if it's for the throne?" Murong Xuanji blurted out and said: "The throne, that is the supreme throne, as a prince, who doesn't want to compete for the high?" No matter how approachable he usually is, I'm afraid his ambition to take over the throne is indispensable. But looking at the current situation, you are loved by the emperor, which has made many people blush, not to mention that after we got married, you have my father's general Wang, the father-in-law, which greatly increases the chance of being a prince, and now you can only compete with the eldest prince, the eldest prince is not only the eldest son, but also the queen, the queen had two chips for the eldest prince and the second prince, and now as soon as the second prince dies, the queen must put everyone's bets on the eldest prince, and the other princes want to compete for the throne with you. The chances are slim. But now, if the third prince knows that the eldest prince is the murderer of the second prince, and he tries his best to eradicate the eldest prince, then won't he have one less opponent on the road to winning the heir? β
"Master, please forgive me for talking too much, I think that the analysis of the Nine Emperor Princesses is very reasonable, in fact, the humble position has been doubting one thing, there are many ways for the eldest prince to frame the master, why kill the second prince? Listening to what the Nine Emperor Princesses said today, the humble position finally understood, killing two birds with one stone. The code whispered to the side.
Xuanyuan Hao smiled lightly, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes and said: "For the sake of the throne, even his own brother can be killed, and he is indeed the eldest prince." β
"Although the eldest prince and the second prince were both born to the queen, the queen obviously loves the second prince more, the eldest prince killed the second prince, not only can the queen lose a bargaining chip, put all the hope on the eldest prince, but also blame the husband, the eldest prince thinks very beautifully, but things are not as he wants." Murong Xuanji also said with a sneer.
"Secret words, you go and secretly find out if the third prince is investigating the cause of the second prince's death, if so, you can help." Xuanyuan Hao said with a smile, as if he was thinking something.
"What does the master meanβ" Secret whisper glanced at Xuanyuan Hao, and saw the malicious smile on his face, and somewhat understood what to do.
Murong Xuanji looked at the eye contact between Xuanyuan Hao and the secret words, and before he could react to Xuanyuan Hao's purpose for a while, he asked a little puzzled, "Why does the husband want to help the third prince?" If as we guessed, then the eldest prince is insidious and obvious, and the third prince is the one who is bad in the bones, haven't you heard that hypocrites are more terrible than real villains? β
"Whisper, you go down first." Xuanyuan Hao let the secret words leave before explaining to Murong Xuanji with a smile: "Do the Empress and Xuanyuan Che already know that I have evidence of them, aren't you worried that they won't just stay in peace?" Although I promised them that they would not hand over the evidence to my father for the time being, wouldn't it be better if they didn't use my hands to deal with the eldest prince? β
"Borrow a knife to kill!" Murong Xuanji immediately understood Xuanyuan Hao's purpose, and said with a smile: "Husband's trick is too clever, he wants to use the hands of the third prince to solve the eldest prince, and we will take advantage of the fisherman." In order to reward Xuanyuan Hao for his cleverness, Murong Xuanji quickly kissed Xuanyuan Hao on the cheek.
Murong Xuanji, who just wanted to kiss and retreated, was suddenly hugged by Xuanyuan Hao's waist, and the whole person was tightly attached to Xuanyuan Hao's body.
"Is there only one kiss?" Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows, looked at Murong Xuanji ambiguously and said, "Do you want to give your husband some more rewards?" β
Looking at the face that was getting closer and closer, Murong Xuanji bent over and turned around, lightly broke away from Xuanyuan Hao's embrace, and made a naughty grimace at Xuanyuan Hao, "If you want more rewards, just look at your watch." After finishing speaking, before Xuanyuan Hao could react, Murong Xuanji quickly ran out of the study.
"What are the results of the investigation? Did you find any evidence that the second prince was killed? In another study, Xuanyuan Mo asked his confidant with a stern expression.
"Back to the master's words, in the process of investigation, the humble post found that there are two forces, one force has been preventing the humble post from investigating the second prince's affairs, but the other force seems to be helping." The henchman said with a serious face.
"Oh, there's such a thing?" Xuanyuan Mo was a little surprised, thought for a while in silence and asked, "Have you found the source of these two forces?" β
The henchman shook his head with some self-reproach.
Xuanyuan Mo didn't seem very angry, but fell into deeper thoughts, and it took a long time before he calmed down from his thoughts, "Is there any movement on the side of the Great Prince and the Nine Emperor Princes?" β
"There is not much movement in the palace of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince has been staying in the palace except for occasionally going to the palace to greet the queen, and he does not go out or see guests. The Nine Emperor Princes also spend more time in the mansion, but most of the time they are with the Nine Emperor Princesses. The henchman replied.
"Nine Emperor Princesses?" Xuanyuan Mo sneered, "I heard that the Nine Emperor Princes and the Nine Emperor Princesses are very affectionate, and the Nine Emperor Princes are obedient to the Nine Emperor Princesses, do you really like the Nine Emperor Princesses, or do you like the entire Great General's Mansion behind the Nine Emperor Princesses?" β
"I heard something, but I don't know if it's true." The henchman looked at Xuanyuan Mo hesitantly.
"What's the matter? Say! Xuanyuan Mo glanced at his henchman.
"I heard that the queen put the Nine Emperor Princesses under house arrest before, and also framed the Nine Emperor Princesses for stealing things, and the Nine Emperor Princes made a big fuss about the queen's bedroom." The henchman told Xuanyuan Mo word for word what he had heard.
"Really?" The corners of Xuanyuan Mo's mouth showed a sneer again, "I also heard about this matter, but the eldest prince and the ninth prince fought over the main hall, and even the people of the Murong family came forward, but then the emperor only took the eldest prince, the ninth prince and the people of the Murong family to the queen's palace, and no one knew what happened later." β
Saying that, Xuanyuan Mo also vaguely remembered the conversation between the queen and Xuanyuan Che that day that he overheard, and mentioned that Xuanyuan Hao used those evidence to threaten the queen and Xuanyuan Che, so that they would not hurt the people around Xuanyuan Hao.
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Mo suddenly found that Xuanyuan Hao was not without weakness, as long as he made good use of this weakness, he might be able to achieve his goal.
"Master, if the Nine Emperor Princes really care about the Nine Emperor Princesses so much, then as long as we make good use of this point, we can-" The henchman also quickly thought of this, and couldn't help but think about Xuanyuan Moti.
"Don't worry, now the Nine Emperors is not our goal, the first thing we want to eradicate is the Great Prince." Xuanyuan Mo opened his mouth to stop it, thought for a while and ordered: "You continue to chase the cause of the death of the second prince." I think the force that stopped you should be the Great Prince's people, and as for the people who secretly helped us, I think I guessed who it was. Xuanyuan Mo smiled meaningfully.
Xuanyuan Mo is not stupid, but he usually hides it too well, so far there are not many people who know that Xuanyuan Che killed Xuanyuan Yu, and the people who will prevent others from investigating the cause of Xuanyuan Yu's death are either the queen's people or the prince's people, but Xuanyuan Mo prefers the latter, so the more people stop it, the more Xuanyuan Mo wants to find evidence.
As for the people who helped him, Xuanyuan Mo thought of Xuanyuan Hao, because of Murong Xuanji, there was already a rift between Xuanyuan Hao, the queen and Xuanyuan Che, as he overheard, the queen and Xuanyuan Che would not let go of the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, it was only a matter of time, so Mu Xuanyuan Hao would not sit still like this. Thinking about it this way, Xuanyuan Mo was even more sure that the person who secretly helped him was Xuanyuan Hao.
Although he knew that Xuanyuan Hao didn't help for himself, but now the goal of the two of them is the same, they both want to eradicate Xuanyuan Che, so Xuanyuan Mo accepts Xuanyuan Hao's kindness for the time being.
"Master, then the force that secretly helps us, should we find out?" Looking at Xuanyuan Mo's unpredictable expression, his henchman asked with some puzzlement.
"No, if someone wants to help us, why should we turn people away." Xuanyuan Mo smiled gloomily and said to his henchman: "You continue to collect evidence that the eldest prince killed the second prince, if someone secretly helps you, don't track down the identity of the other party for the time being." β
Although the henchman didn't understand what Xuanyuan Mo's reason was, he still nodded respectfully in agreement.
After that, the investigation became more and more smooth, and it only took three days for the henchmen to collect all the evidence that the eldest prince killed the second prince.
Looking at the evidence in front of him, Xuanyuan Mo showed a cold smile, as if he saw the tragic appearance of Xuanyuan Che losing a qiΔ, and couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart.
"Xuanyuan Che, it's no wonder that you are usually too arrogant and have offended too many people, since I am not the only one who wants you to die, I can't live up to the person who gave me these evidences, wait, your good days are coming to an end." Xuanyuan Mo laughed louder and louder, as if he was about to shake the roof open. It's too late today, Xuanyuan Mo plans to hand over these evidences to the emperor tomorrow morning, "Xuanyuan Che, I'll let you sleep peacefully again, and tomorrow will be different." βR638
