She tried to extract spiritual power, and she succeeded.

So it can be proved that this guy is at least alive.

This made her feel a little relieved.

Naturally, there were also the eyes and ears of Xiao Jing, the prince of Wei, among the royal army, so the bad news of King Wei's death in battle reached him in only four days.

Xiao Jing first felt five thunderbolts, and then he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

For him, this meant that the second brother had a four-day head start. And don't forget, the crown prince was originally stationed in the red embedded forest in the southeast of the Anxia region, and from here it would be at least half a month longer than Xiao Yan's return trip to Weidu.

That was on the premise of a rapid march at full speed.

In fact, Anxia Yuxian and the Jin army have been fighting like chicken blood recently, frantically attacking the Wei army front. When the news of the death of the King of Wei reached the Jin Kingdom, it was possible that the Jin army would withdraw the troops that had gone north to the Red Embedded Forest, but the remnants of Anxia were unprecedentedly active, and they frequently attacked the army led by the crown prince.

Under their obstruction, it was almost impossible for the crown prince to lead his army back to the Wei capital quickly.

How good is that?

In the end, one of the prince's subordinates turned into a real body and carried him in the direction of Weidu.

Even if the speed of this thing can't catch up with Cailuan, the divine bird of the country of Yao, it is more than twice as fast as that of ordinary birds. However, Prince Wei took the boss's bad luck this time, the white bird had just gone to the sky, and before he could reach the sky, he was shot down by the cultivators in the Anxia and Jin coalition armies, although he saved his life, but his wings were shot off, and he didn't want to carry people to the sky again in a short time.

No matter how anxious the prince was, he had to honestly go back by land at this time. And he also knew that he was being targeted, in order to get out of the Chiji Plain smoothly and safely, he released more than a dozen squads as smoke bombs at the same time to cover his light cavalry back to Wei.

At this time, he would not realize that such a fortuitous event had changed the outcome of the entire battle for the throne.

On the way back, he received several bad news from his biological mother, Queen Zheng, one after another:

First of all, it was Xiao Yan who carried the coffin back, and the mourning hall was located in the Yonghe Palace, one of the main halls of the inner court. According to the ancestral practice, after the funeral, the first king stopped here to be laid for 21 days.

According to this day, the prince will not be able to catch up.

Of course, in addition to being sad, what made him angry was that Xiao Yan really rushed back to Weidu first. Although the third brother Xiao Wu and Queen Zheng are both there, Xiao Yan has been in business for a long time, not to mention having the help of a national teacher.

Thinking of Yun Kui, his eyelids jumped endlessly.

Sure enough, the bad news came right away.

After Xiao Yan returned to the capital, in addition to helping the first king, he also did a few things. First of all, it was the publication of the correspondence between the murderer Xu Tan and the crown prince to the public, which caused an explosive effect, and the royal court quarreled, and even the two princes Xiao Yan and Xiao Wu couldn't suppress it.

The crowd was indignant and scolded.

However, on the seventh or eighth day, this matter spread to the people, and even the grocery shopping lady could add fuel and vinegar to her indignation.

When the crown prince received the news of the death of King Wei, and at the same time learned the news of Xu Chen's murder, his eyes were dark, and he knew that this matter would definitely become a weapon to frame him.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan didn't miss this opportunity at all.

The crown prince was somewhat mentally prepared, but the second thing that Queen Zheng mentioned in the letter made him suspicious:

The day after Xiao Yan returned to the capital, he broke into the palace of King Wei.

Without the summons, not even the kings and grandsons could trespass into that place. However, at present, the capital is in a state of leaderlessness, and the forbidden army can't stop Xiao Yan's footsteps.

By the time the third prince Xiao Wu heard the news and brought someone to intercept him, Xiao Yan had already walked out of the palace of King Wei.

The two brothers exchanged a few words verbally, and the great eunuch Chen Xi took the opportunity to go to the palace to count them, as if he hadn't lost anything. Although Xiao Wu wanted to search the body of the second brother, how could the great master of Yun look at him with a smile on the side.

This person has the ability to be unpredictable, and Xiao Wu has been a little afraid of him since he was a child. Although the number of forbidden troops and secret techniques were large, he was not sure how to deal with the national teacher, and finally had to let Xiao Yan go.

After reading the note, the prince couldn't help but reach out and press his chest, feeling angry and injured.

On the one hand, he hated Xiao Yan for being cunning, and on the other hand, he also complained about his father's partiality.

Although the king of Wei made him the crown prince, he was far more affectionate to Xiao Yan than him, and this time he also took Xiao Yan with him and sent him, the prince, to the red forest. Xiao Yan forcibly broke into the dormitory after the old man's death, was it because King Wei secretly left the edict here and told Xiao Yan to pick it up?

After all, Xiao Yan was the son who accompanied him on the last journey, and no one except Xiao Yan knew what happened during that time.

What secrets will King Wei leave behind?

Did he change his mind and want to set up another prince?

If this is the case, Xiao Jing's identity as the crown prince will be unstable.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't wait to search Xiao Yan's mansion and eliminate the hidden danger. But others are in a different place, and they can only shout in vain.

At this time, he was also angry with the third brother, angry at his uselessness. If Xiao Wu can be tougher and search Xiao Yan well, then there will be no trouble.

Every minute and every second he was outside, there were events brewing and developing in the capital of Wei. Unfortunately, he couldn't reach it.

Although he sent back a large number of reports and instructed Queen Zheng and his henchmen to act according to the plan, he was always passive when he was not in Weidu.

King Zheng later wrote an understatement that after Xu Chen's son was imprisoned in the prison, he died before the first round of punishment.

Prince Wei knew his mother, and at a glance he knew that this was her hand. But he hated Xu Zhi now, and he wished that the people and things related to this name would be ruined, so he didn't care much about it.

Moreover, he had a very close relationship with Xu Chen in the past, and this man was accustomed to currying favor with him, and he showed his loyalty to him from the beginning. Xu Chen's son may also have evidence of this, so it is best to die. Queen Zheng was probably also worried about this, so she quickly killed him for fear of making things worse for the prince.

Recently, Xiao Yan has frequently visited the respected ministers in the court, and the appearance of the guests and hosts is always happy after talking. The princelings also went to the side to knock on the side, and the news they got was just gossip, at most Xiao Yanlai humbly asked.

Of course, Prince Wei didn't believe it. The second brother's move is a blatant attempt to win over the courtiers, and what he wants to do is clearly revealed.

Prince Wei has been wearing the stars and the moon for a few days, and he can't wait for a thousand miles a day, but when he was only eighty miles away from the capital, he received the last news from Queen Zheng.

It was this news that made him stop in shock:

The murderer of Xu Chen was pursued by the Praetorian Guards and fled all the way to the East Palace!

The Praetorian Guards wanted to enter the palace to arrest them, but they were stopped by the cultivators and palace people who were guarding the place, and the two sides clashed. The crown prince did not have fuel-efficient lamps, but most of the elites were taken to the Red Embedded Forest by him, and the search was assisted by several powerful people sent by the national teacher. Before the third prince Xiao Wu stopped him, Wu Chen, the court captain, had already led people to break into the East Palace and rummage around.

When the prince saw this, he almost crushed a mouthful of steel teeth.
