Chapter 350: Wind Direction
No one expected that the eldest prince would also die.
Soon after he ordered Ji'an to send the eldest princess out of the city, he was torn apart by a group of ghosts, and he couldn't even find his bones.
As soon as the third prince died, the only person who threatened the third prince to seize the crown prince disappeared, and the fact that the third prince became the best candidate for the crown prince was almost a certainty.
For a moment, the direction of the wind in the middle of the morning changed.
But the third prince has always been in his own way, and he has newly recruited the Han clan, the second largest clan in Yin'an, and he is more assertive and difficult to control than the puppet prince who is the clan in the royal family.
Just when the Sheng clan was hesitating to take the line of the three princes and form an alliance with them, the Fu clan suddenly fell to the three princes.
Fu Qian, the newly appointed patriarch of the Fu clan, personally went to the Three Princes' Mansion on the same day, and led several respected elders of the Fu clan to meet the Three Princes with great fanfare.
There is not the slightest intention to hide it.
This is a blatant attempt to declare his stance to the outside world.
In this matter, Fu Qian actually got Fu Xiaorou's acquiescence in private.
After the death of Fuyi and Fu Hengzhi successively, Fu Xiaorou was one of the very few people in the Fu clan who could speak in front of Fu Qian and did a certain master.
Fu Qian asked Fu Xiaorou to discuss the Fu clan's inclination towards the three princes, but Fu Xiaorou did not tell Sheng Zhuohuai, and when Sheng Zhuohuai knew about it, the news that Fu Qian and the elders of the clan had entered the door of the three princes had already spread.
Sheng Zhuohuai was extremely dissatisfied with this, and at the same time he was also dissatisfied with Fuxiao and Fuqian.
"Although you married my Sheng clan, you still haven't completely separated yourself from the Fu clan in the end. Sheng Zhuohuai looked meaningfully at Fu Xiao Judo, who was respectfully serving tea to himself.
Fu Xiaorou looked at him, her eyes were neither humble nor arrogant: "On the day the concubine married you, I said that between the Fu clan and the Sheng clan, the concubine will always only make the best choice for the interests of the two clans." ”
Sheng Zhuohuai sneered, picked up the teacup, and took a small sip.
Although the tea is piping hot, if you drink it in small sips, you can still eat it slowly.
"So you're very optimistic about the Third Prince?" Sheng Zhuohuai put down the teacup and met Fu Xiaorou's gaze again, and asked.
"Is there any other choice besides the three princes?"
The Luan clan has held a funeral again in the past few days.
This is the second time since Luanjing that someone from the Luan tribe has died.
The one who died was Luan Chang.
Luan Chang has always been recognized by the Luan clan as the quasi-heir of the future patriarch of the Luan clan, he was the former court of Dali Temple, the official worship is three products, handle things safely, have a good temperament, and win the trust of Xiangyu.
Compared with his father's idle all day long, Luan Chang is particularly outstanding.
But now, the offspring who has been given the most high hopes in the family is gone, and the old patriarch also went first, but the only one left in the middle is Luan Feng'an.
On the surface, Luan Fengan is not of great use to the Luan clan, but he is actually very business-minded, and the Luan clan can always sit firmly in the position of the richest clan in Yin'an, and he has more or less secretly contributed to it.
However, Luan Feng'an's true face in secret, except for Xiangyu and a few core Xiang faction people, most people are unaware, and they have always regarded Luan Feng'an as a lackey who only fights cocks all day long, idle at home, relying on the old and relying on the small straw bales.
Therefore, after Luan Chang's death, after Luan Feng'an was promoted to the position of the patriarch of the Luan clan, the voices of the declining Luan clan began to rise and fall, endlessly.
The Luan clan did an extremely simple funeral for Luan Chang, and only received a few Xiang clans, including Xiangyu.
As soon as the funeral ended, the news of Luan Feng'an falling ill came again.
has always been a smiling tiger, looking at Luan Feng'an, who has nothing to worry about, will also fall ill, and the successive deaths of Luan Jing and Luan Chang can be seen in the impact on Luan Feng'an.
In addition, on the matter of why Luan Chang died, Chen had a disagreement with Luan Fengan for the first time.
She felt that Luan Yunrong was ominous.
Luan Yunrong because of the identity of the half-breed son, on the night of the ghost attack on the city, was entangled by the two powerful ghosts Xiusha ghost and the Nai Wei ghost, Luan Chang was seriously injured by the Nai ghost in the process of saving Luan Yunrong, and died after the body could not be cured.
Before Luan Chang died, lying on the hospital bed, he did not forget to entrust Luan Yunrong to Luan Fengan and Chen, Chen cried a lot, and Luan Fengan was extremely silent.
And Luan Yunrong, who indirectly caused Luan Chang's death, blamed himself unusually, standing outside the door and not daring to come in, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Hearing the sound outside the door, Chen rushed out of the door as if he lost his mind, grabbed Luan Yunrong's clothes tightly with both hands, and asked him in a very bad tone: "Where are you a demon and a monster? As soon as you enter the door, my father died, and now my only son is going to die because of you, are you here to kill our whole family?!"
Luan Feng'an stepped forward a few steps and pulled Chen away, his voice was heavy, and asked Luan Yunrong to leave first, and then carried her back to the house while comforting Chen.
Luan Yunrong returned to his room alone, he picked up the blood-stained white jade dragon pattern crown on the table, this is Luan Chang's hair crown, and it is the mother crown of the child and mother crown that Luan Yunrong and Luan Chang bought together.
Luan Yunrong's rough hands stroked all over the crown, and his red and purple eyes exuded a look of self-reproach and sadness.
Because of Luan Chang's death, the post of Weiqing of Dali Temple was vacant, and in the end, the three princes recommended a rookie to occupy this position.
The newly appointed Ting Weiqing is from a small clan and is not attached to either of the two factions.
The actions of the three princes all clearly showed his intention to build his own faction, and the clans who saw through this layer, especially some helpless small clans, started to rely on the three princes.
Speaking of the death of the eldest prince, some people privately believe that he is innocent of death.
Because if it weren't for the eldest prince's insistence on opening the city gate in order to pick up the eldest princess that day, maybe the people of Yin'an would not have died so much.
But the Si people have passed away, and there is no way to hold them accountable, and the emperor can only belittle the eldest prince and the eldest princess as commoners for the sake of the anger of the commoners, move out of the eldest prince's mansion, and find another ordinary mansion to live.
The eldest princess, who became a widow, was grieved by the death of the eldest prince, and before the emperor's decree was sent to the palace, the eldest princess had hanged herself in the room.
The death of the eldest princess was transmitted to the Sheng Mansion, Fu Xiaorou fainted on the spot, Sheng Zhuohuai also fell into shock and stunned, as a father, he heard the bad news of his daughter for the first time, and his eyes also showed a rare look of grief.
The funerals of the eldest princess and the eldest prince were handled in the name of the royal family, and it was the Sheng Mansion that was actually responsible.
Overnight, several nobles died, and the clans fell into a depressed mood of dead silence, and ordinary people only sighed, and at the same time prayed for the hundreds of people who died in the ghost attack on the city.
In the jade courtyard, the branches and leaves of the bamboo in front of the windowsill are becoming more and more luxuriant, and the branches and leaves of the pale blue slender bamboo rattan have climbed from the platform to extend to the window.
Yueli was dressed in red and walked in briskly.
Before she could get close to the door of the study, she heard the voice of the tanuki inside asking with concern.
"Childe, are you okay?"
Yue Liang took a pause, and the smile on his face quickly faded.
