Chapter 125: The Game (Part II)

Xiang Hongxuan bowed his head in the Flying Feather Hall and pondered, Chen Xuan is dead, but Chen Xuan has not changed his words, is it not suspicious that the deaths of several other princes are not suspicious? Was Xiang Ziqiu's death really an accident? But even if it was an accident, whether his son died of Chen Xuan's decoction or died under Zhu Ruoyu is still a mystery. Xiang Hongxuan's heart was anxious, and his murderous anger had nowhere to put it for a while.

After checking for a long time, everything returned to the far point, and the venting he originally expected was actually consumed, and he was left with sadness, helpless sadness. Suddenly, Xiang Hongxuan leaned over and pushed all the things on the desk in front of him to the ground, and soon the sound of ping-pong in the Feiyu Hall was vibrating back and forth, it seemed that only by doing so could Xiang Hongxuan's heart get some peace.

Zhaoqing, who had just walked into the Flying Feather Palace, saw something in the ground, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she cautiously walked towards Hongxuan's side.

After Xiang Hongxuan glanced up at Zhaoqing, his eyebrows tightened, and he said, "Imperial sister, why did you enter the palace?" ”

Zhaoqing took out a list from her sleeve, handed it to Xiang Hongxuan's eyes, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is the list of a group of officials you asked your sister to look for last time, they are all officials with simple political backgrounds, and my sister saw that you hadn't come to the eldest princess's mansion for several days, so she entered the palace and dedicated it to the imperial brother." ”

Xiang Hongxuan took Zhaoqing's list, he glanced at it slightly, he had been focused on Chen Xuan these days, and he didn't care about going out of the palace to the eldest princess's mansion, Zhaoqing was not the first time to help him choose officials, there should be no problem.

"The royal sister is doing things, I am very relieved."

Zhaoqing smiled proudly, she looked at Xiang Hongxuan, who was frowning, and said lightly: "Brother Huang, I heard that Brother Nine has added another son." ”

Xiang Hongxi has a son again? Suddenly, Xiang Hongxuan's heart was even more sad, Xiang Hongxi is really a blessing, there is only one wife in Ling Man, but he has two sons, but what about him? The three palaces and six courts can't keep a prince.

"Although Lao Jiu's Duan Mansion only has a daughter-in-law, Princess Duan, he has two sons under his knees, and he is not considered a thin heir." Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but say with a taste.

"Brother Huang, Brother Jiu doesn't have two sons, but three sons." Zhaoqing said in a tricky way.

Xiang Hongxuan's face changed, and he looked a little frightened, what does Zhaoqing mean by this? Could it be that Ling Man gave birth to twin sons to Xiang Hongxi?

"Imperial sister, three sons? Did Princess Duan give birth to twins? Xiang Hongxuan asked angrily.

Zhaoqing smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, my sister didn't say that Brother Jiu's new son was born to Princess Duan. The people in this Yicheng City say that the ninth brother loves the princess alone, so there are no other women in the Duanwang Mansion, and the ninth brother has also become the infatuated prince in the Yicheng city. But in fact, Brother Jiu has already raised a lot of outer rooms outside, this year Brother Jiu is really blessed, his outer rooms gave birth to two sons for him, but unfortunately he has a son, but he can't enter Duanwang's Mansion justifiably, and Brother Jiu is also extremely depressed. ”

After saying that, Zhaoqing couldn't help laughing, but Xiang Hongxuan's face became more and more ugly, although it was not the disaster of Dong Yuxian's twins, but yes

It's not good news for Yu Xianghongxuan. Xiang Hongxi was worried about his son too much, but he couldn't ask for it, it seemed that Zhaoqing's words were like a nail, stabbing Xiang Hongxuan's fragile heart.

"Is Lao Jiu so afraid of his princess?" Xiang Hongxuan asked.

Zhaoqing lowered her head and smiled, she said meaningfully: "Since you are so afraid, why do you want to steal it?" Brother Jiu may not care so much about Princess Duan, Brother Jiu, maybe he is a merry prince who is different from the outside. ”

Zhaoqing deliberately aggravated the tone of these words, how could she listen to Xiang Hongxuan, even if Xiang Hongxuan might not really alienate Xiang Hongxi because of her instigation, but at least she could bury something in Xiang Hongxuan's heart.

Suddenly, an internal guard hurriedly walked into the hall, and Xiang Hongxuan didn't have time to think about Zhaoqing's words, because the arrival of the internal guard might be able to solve the doubts in his heart these days.

Xiang Hongxuan casually found a reason to send Zhaoqing away, and soon Zhaoqing left the Flying Feather Palace, she was not annoyed, because her purpose of entering the palace today was achieved. Originally, Xiang Hongxi was a gentleman, and he couldn't compare to the prestige of King Xian, nor did he have real power compared to King Qing, so it was not worth Zhaoqing's trouble. But Xiang Hongxi's fight in the Golden Palace offended the entire Dongyu officialdom, and made him Xiang Hongxuan's henchman.

Last year, Xiang Hongxuan also asked him to go to the local area to accompany the officials to inspect the floods, and then whenever the inspector inspected such things, Xiang Hongxi could always become one of the accompanying officials, although Xiang Hongxi was still an idle prince with no power in Dongyu, but he had unconsciously walked into the former dynasty, Zhaoqing was very unhappy, because the former dynasty was too small to squeeze their brothers and sisters.

"How's it going?" Xiang Hongxuan asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's investigation, after Chen Xuan was sent to the Flying Feather Palace, he had no contact with other people, except for Aunt Lian who brought the palace people from Guan Ju Palace to fetch things for His Majesty, no outsiders entered the Flying Feather Hall that night. Moreover, the adult men of the Chen Mansion are already on the way to Yazhou, and the female dependents have also been sent to the Jiaofang Division outside the palace to become official slaves, only Chen Xuan's youngest son died of a sudden illness a few days ago, and no one has rescued Chen Xuan's family, it seems that since Chen Xuan's accident, Chen Xuan and Chen Fu have never been in contact with others. The guard replied softly.

Xiang Hongxuan sat on the dragon chair with some disappointment, originally Chen Xuan was going to be exterminated by the Nine Clans, but Xiang Hongxuan only asked his family about the crime, not Xiang Hongxuan's mercy, nor Xiang Hongxuan's belief in Chen Xuan's words, he just wanted to see if there was anyone to rescue his family after Chen Xuan's death, if there was, then there must be someone behind Chen Xuan, but the words of the internal guard made Xiang Hongxuan a little puzzled again.

"So was there anything unusual about the Drunken Cloud Pavilion that day?"

Neiwei lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "After the death of the fourth prince, His Majesty withdrew the subordinates of the Zuiyun Pavilion, it stands to reason that Chen Xuan sneaked into the Zuiyun Pavilion that day, and no one should know, but that day, Aunt An of Qingfeng Yuan suddenly arranged for a few attendants to go to the Zuiyun Pavilion to clean, and those waiters ate some wine at noon and were lazy in the Zuiyun Pavilion for an afternoon, only to bump into Chen Xuan to find medicine

Dregs. ”

Xiang Hongxuan's brows furrowed again, and the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger. Although there are no subordinates in the Drunken Cloud Pavilion, it shouldn't be that the door is wide open, and it is such a coincidence that Ling Xi asked people to clean the Drunken Cloud Pavilion that day? What does Chen Xuan's arrest have to do with Ling Xi?

"What else?"

The inner guard looked embarrassed, and after a pause, he replied: "The minister carefully investigated the harem, and there were chamberlains in the harem who saw it before, and Aunt An and Aunt Lian had secretly gone to the Tai Hospital to find Chen Xuan. Moreover, after Chen Xuan was sent to the Neiwei Mansion, Aunt Yan and Aunt An also sent people to the Neiwei Mansion to inquire about Chen Xuan's news, and they seemed to care about Chen Xuan very much. ”

Xiang Hongxuan was stunned, there are countless possibilities for the internal guard's words, it may be that they have a personal affair with Chen Xuan, or it may be that Ling Xi and Xiao Xiangxiang have secrets that they don't want people to know, and of course it is possible that these are related to Xiang Ziqiu's death. Xiang Hongxuan's mind was blank, and Ling Xi and Xiao Xiangxiang were dangling in front of his eyes like this.

Xiang Hongxuan painfully raised his hand and pressed his temple, his incomparably wise brain seemed to be a little stuck, and he couldn't tell where the pain was coming from. After a long time, he said faintly: "What about the rest of the harem? Are they abnormal? ”

"On the night Chen Xuan was arrested, Qiao Gongren sent a letter outside the palace, and the minister found out that the letter was sent to the eldest princess's mansion, saying that it was for her younger brother Qiao Qi who was in the princess's mansion, and Xue Meiren has always sent people to inquire about it recently, especially about the Zuiyun Pavilion and the Yingyue Pavilion, which seems to be very concerned. And other beauties and female histories are also particularly interested in the Zuiyun Pavilion, they often go to the Zuiyun Pavilion to visit Zhu Meiren, and they also arrange for the palace people to sneak into the Yingyue Pavilion behind their backs, and there are ......."

"What else?"

The internal guard immediately knelt on the ground, he didn't dare to raise his head, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Also, after Chen Xuan was arrested, there were some rumors in the harem, saying that it was because the early deaths of several princes one after another were because His Majesty killed too heavily and fought for many years. ”

With a snap, Xiang Hongxuan slapped the desk violently, he immediately got up and walked out of the hall angrily, but just after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but stop, what could he do? He glanced back at the guard, who was still kneeling, and the guard shivered.

Things have become much more complicated than he imagined, almost all the women in the harem are involved, even Zhaoqing, who has just entered the palace, makes Xiang Hongxuan feel extremely suspicious, Xiang Hongxuan wants to vent this anger, I am afraid that there is only blood in the harem. Xiang Hongxuan reluctantly walked back to the dragon chair and sat there dumbfounded, without saying a word.

The inner guard secretly glanced up at Xiang Hongxuan, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you still want to investigate?" ”

Xiang Hongxuan's mind has countless possibilities, this chaotic situation is a pot of porridge, and it is not easy to peel off the cocoon. He didn't care about other people, but what should he do if Ling Xi and Xiao Xiangxiang were involved?

"Stand down, don't look it any further." Xiang Hongxuan said with great difficulty.

The sky was bright, and the harem was still shrouded in some darkness left by the night, and the whole harem was silent and cold, as if they were waiting for the arrival of the morning light. Suddenly, a group of attendants walked briskly in the harem, the flickering palace lights in their hands were like stars walking in the harem, rapid and faintly beautiful, and soon this burst of starlight flashed into the Yingyue Pavilion,

Zhao Xinyue, who was still asleep, vaguely felt that someone was pushing her, she opened her eyes suddenly, and saw many attendants standing in front of her, she didn't have to ask these attendants urgently, one of the attendants had already come to her with a white silk and said: "Mrs. Zhao, Your Majesty has decreed that you have murdered the prince, the crime is unforgivable, and you will die." ”

Zhao Xinyue was so frightened that she sat on the ground, she stared at the white silk in the hands of the waiter, the waiter approached her with the white silk, Zhao Xinyue slammed together, she ran out of the door, but unfortunately the waiters dragged her, she had no chance to get out of this room at all, she looked out of the house unwillingly, the waiter behind her strangled the white silk around her neck, Zhao Xinyue gradually closed her eyes, she was going to die, but she still didn't know who was hurting her?

"Well dead, haha, deserved." A shout reached the ears of the attendants in the house, and I saw Zhu Ruoyu standing outside the door a little crazy and stupid, she would look up to the sky and laugh, and cry bitterly, she turned around and ran out of Yingyue Pavilion. Running stupidly in the harem, the sky gradually brightened, and the morning light accompanied by Zhu Ruoyu's crazy cry woke up the entire harem, and soon everyone in the harem knew that Zhu Ruoyu was crazy and Zhao Xinyue was dead.
