When the third prince and the others arrived at the city gate, Shangguan Zhe was already waiting at the city gate, and when he saw Xuanyuan Hao who was walking in the front, he was not surprised with the news that Wan'er gave him in advance, but he didn't know if Shen Man'er was dead.

"King An, the emperor knows the news of your return, and has set up a banquet for you in the imperial garden tonight, and I am here to greet you. ”

"There's a general of the dart flag. ”

The group was walking on the way into the city, and Shangguan Zhe asked as if he didn't know anything.

"Lord An, why don't you see His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Xuanyuan Hao hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly.

"Don't hide it from the hussar general, I haven't seen my second brother for a long time. ”

"How could it be, wasn't it specially arranged for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time, why could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not be there?"

"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and I think my second brother is no exception. ”

"Oh, I don't know which beauty is so blessed. ”

Xuanyuan Hao smiled: "General Shangguan will know tonight." ”

Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Xiang had been standing at the door for a long time when he got the news of everyone's safe return, waiting left and right, but he couldn't see his daughter for a long time, and even the third son who was looking for him was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Xiang was strange, and saw a pair of people and horses escorting two carriages slowly towards this side at this time, Shen Xiang happily hurried out the door, his baby daughter had never left him for so long.

"Man'er, Man'er. Shen Xiang happily lifted the curtain, but was stunned when he saw the scene inside.

In the carriage, it was not his daughter at all, but Zhu'er, and looking at Zhu'er's appearance, her eyes didn't seem to be able to see.

"Pearl, what's wrong with you. ”

Shen Xiang looked at Zhu'er in surprise, what the hell was going on, why was Zhu'er's eyes blind, and what about Man'er, why was Man'er gone.

Shen Xiang was anxious for a while, his eyes closed and he almost fell to the ground, but at this time, he was helped by someone from behind in time.

Shen Xiang stabilized his figure, only to see that it was actually the prince who was holding him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. Shen Xiang hurriedly saluted.

"Xiangye doesn't have to be like this, this is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk about it. ”

In the living room, as soon as Xuanyuan Che and Shen Xiang entered the room, Shen Xiang hurriedly asked.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what the hell is going on, why Man'er hasn't come back, and Zhu'er's eyes can't see, and Shen Yibin, didn't he go to look for you, why can't I see him. ”

Shen Xiang tugged at Xuanyuan Che's sleeve vigorously, if it weren't for the quality of the clothes, it was estimated that he would have been torn by him.

"Shen Xiang, don't worry, Man'er and the third prince are not in danger, what is going on, I will tell you slowly. ”

Next, Xuanyuan Che assassinated Shen Man'er and fell off the cliff, and later walked up from the bottom of the cliff, and everything was clear and clear.

When Shen Xiang heard what happened to his daughter, he couldn't help but shed a handful of bitter tears, why was his daughter so pitiful.

"Your Highness has found out who did it. ”

"Not yet, but don't worry, I won't let go of anyone who wants to hurt Man'er. ”

Xuanyuan Che concealed that the third prince had sent a killer, although Shen Xiang was in an important position in the court, but Xuanyuan Hao was a royal member after all, and it was not something that he could compete with as a small prime minister.

When Shen Xiang heard this, he knelt down for the prince with a stride.

Xuanyuan Che saw Shen Xiang's posture and hurriedly helped the person up.

"What are you doing? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I only have this one daughter, Man'er's mother left early, my daughter has suffered a lot since she was a child, this disaster may be the fate of Man'er. The old minister had the courage to plead with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to let go of those who hurt Man'er. ”

"Shen Xiang, don't worry, even if you don't say it, I won't let go of the person who hurt Man'er, no matter who it is, I will make him pay. ”

"But the old minister still has concerns. ”

Shen Xiang, you said. ”

"Prince An has always been at odds with our Prime Minister's Mansion, this time Man'er failed to come back with everyone, if he said anything unfavorable to Man'er in front of the emperor, it would be troublesome. ”

"Shen Xiang, don't worry, I'm here for this matter, tonight my father will have a banquet, you still attend as usual, I will definitely not let Xuanyuan Hao say anything unfavorable to Man'er. ”

"Good. ”

At night, the imperial garden is full of lights, flowers, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.

All the ladies and ladies of the official family put on their most beautiful clothes and participated in this feast.

Bi Xiaoyao sat at the back of the crowd, she didn't go to Huizhou this time, and the war at home has been raging recently, so she and Ben didn't have the interest to participate in the palace banquet.

Bi Xiaoyao had been looking for Shen Man'er's traces, and she hadn't heard anything about that Shen Sanshao for a long time.

During this time, she went to Baiwei Building whenever she was free, but unfortunately, not only did she not see Shen Sanshao, but she also met Cheng Youbin's people several times to find trouble, which made her tired of it.

"Hey, you said that Shen Man'er is dead, will the emperor cancel her marriage contract with the crown prince? ”

"What nonsense, I've heard, she's not dead with Ben. ”

"Isn't it, didn't it say that she died, didn't it say that she fell off a cliff?"

"You've all been deceived, she fell off the cliff, I heard that she eloped with someone else. ”

"What, the prince has been looking for the cliff for so long, isn't that deceived by her. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good, how could she elope with someone. ”

"Shhh, you all lean here, I heard that Shen Man'er eloped with the fifth prince. ”

"How could it be, how could the fifth prince take a fancy to her. ”

"Yes, the fifth prince is the most beautiful man in our Dajin, how could he fall in love with her. ”

"Then you say, apart from the five princes in this world, who else can compare to the crown prince. ”

"That's right. Everyone nodded, all of them sure of their guesses.

Bi Xiaoyao sat relatively close to the nobles of the family, and when she heard what everyone said, she couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, and turned her head to look in the direction of the Shen Mansion, but saw that everything was normal in Shen Xiang, and she couldn't see anything unusual at all.

Shen Xiang sat far away, and heard those people talking about their daughter, their daughter had suffered so much, and those people still arranged her like this.

Xuanyuan Hao sat on the top and watched the reactions of the official ladies below, Shen Man'er, even if you are lucky enough to fall off the cliff and not die, I will make you ruined tonight.

Bing'er sat next to Xuanyuan Hao with a veil, Shen Man'er was Wang Yueyin's cousin, so she was also quite familiar, in her impression, it was a very kind young lady, how could she attract such slander.

Although she didn't know what was going on, she was sure that Miss Biao was definitely not someone who would elope with someone.

Shangguan Wan'er paid attention to everyone's actions with great interest, but she found out that the news of Shen Man'er's elopement was deliberately released by the third prince, and it also involved the fifth prince, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone.

not only ruined Shen Man'er's reputation, but also destroyed the prestige of the fifth prince in everyone's minds, but I don't know how the prince will react when he finds out.

"The emperor has arrived. ”
