After entering the palace, Lin Xin'er and Ximen Jingxuanbing were separated into two ways.

came to Huping Hall with familiarity, and without waiting for the maid to pass the word, Lin Xin'er broke in.

The inner hall exuded bursts of medicinal incense, and there was an imperial doctor waiting by Princess Huping's side, cautious and cautious.

Seeing Lin Xin'er coming, Princess Huping waved her hand to take the imperial doctor away.

"Yang Lan was taken captive." Lin Xin'er said straightforwardly, paying attention to Princess Huping's expression as she spoke.

It wasn't that she couldn't hear the gossip outside, and as soon as she arrived in the county capital, most of her reputation was ruined overnight, making her have to suspect anyone who might be an enemy.

"You think Princess Ben did it?" Princess Huping immediately understood what Lin Xin'er meant.

"I don't think it's nothing, it's just that Yang Lan had an accident on the way out of the National Teacher's Palace, and the National Teacher's Palace has to be responsible for finding someone, if I can't find it, my marriage with the National Teacher will be postponed, and the princess's illness will be affected, I just want to think about it with the princess, what is the purpose of the person who shot at Yang Lan?" Lin Xin'er patiently elaborated and led Yang Lan's disappearance to Princess Huping.

Sure enough, Princess Huping frowned slightly after hearing this.

"So, if the princess thinks of something, you might as well tell me, my marriage with Jing Xuan is a matter of time, I'm afraid the princess won't be able to wait." Lin Xin'er continued.

"The national teacher is prescient, and he must be able to know who did it." Princess Huping looked up, her eyes flashing with admiration and trust.

"How Jing Xuan was enshrined as a god by your father You know in your heart that your father needs Jing Xuan to consolidate his power for him and rely on him to establish prestige in the hearts of the people, and he has done a good job, but he is a human being, not a real god, even if he has the ability to solve this matter, it will take time, not just by pinching his fingers, this is a matter of solving the problem early and late, you weigh it yourself. I have come today to bring medicine to the princess, which will relieve her condition. ”

Lin Xin'er said, flicking a pill at Princess Huping.

Since drinking the cup of tea poured by Lin Xin'er, Princess Huping's lower abdomen has been swollen and painful, sometimes severe, sometimes lighter, let the imperial doctor investigate, but he didn't find anything, and he was sure that Lin Xin'er was powerful.

Seeing Lin Xin'er throw the medicine, Princess Huping hurriedly ate it, for fear that her "condition" would worsen before she found Yang Lan.

At the same time, Ximen Jingxuan was meeting with King Dongzhu in the imperial study.

"Invite the national teacher into the palace early in the morning, the national teacher left in a hurry, and then return to the palace, what's the matter?" King Dongzhu saw Ximen Jingxuan go and return, and asked puzzledly.

"I suspect that the remnants of Princess Changping have begun to act again." Ximen Jingxuan said, "At that time, it was the king who finally sentenced the princess to deal with the rebellion, so I came to ask the king about the princess's case, what is missing from it?" ”

"Although Princess Changping is the biological daughter of the king, but the great rebellion wants to rebel against the king, the king can only endure the pain and behead, all those related to the princess's horse are all convicted and executed, the king will never allow any aftermath to be left, if there is an omission, it is impossible." King Dongzhu replied decisively.

"I remember that at that time, Princess Changping played the banner of abolishing the Dongzhu ancestral system?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.

Originally, he thought that he would not stay in Dongzhu for a long time, and if he was not a citizen of Dongzhu, he didn't need to know much about Dongzhu's past, but now it is obvious that things have affected him, so he has to think more and trace back to the source.

"Yes, she's so demagoguery." King Dongzhu was reluctant to mention it again.

That thing is really dangerous, if it weren't for Ximen Jingxuan, the sky of Dongzhu would have changed a long time ago, and he didn't know where his soul had returned.

"Actually, I've always wondered why there is only a king and no other princes in Dongzhu, but I have read some records that the first king did not have only one son? Is this deliberately concealed arrangement also one of the ancestral systems of Dongzhu? ”

On the way into the palace, Ximen Jingxuan searched for all kinds of possible relationships, involving matters of power, and habitually thought of the brother of King Dongzhu, in the record, only the birth of the little prince, but there was no home, as if he evaporated from the palace out of thin air, leaving King Dongzhu alone in charge of the country. If this matter was done by King Dongzhu, even if it was to hide people's eyes, he would have left a "deceased" reason, but there was nothing.

"Could it be that the discovery of the national teacher has something to do with this matter?" Hearing Ximen Jingxuan suddenly ask a question that he had never cared about, King Dongzhu also became vigilant.

Seeing that King Dongzhu's expression had changed, Ximen Jingxuan was even more convinced that there was an important problem hidden in it.

"The king should believe in my ability to judge things, and it is not groundless." Ximen Jingxuan Road.

"Yes, King Ben believes in you." King Dongzhu thought about it for a while, and then decided to tell Ximen Jingxuan's curiosity......

The ancestors of King Dongzhu once set the rule that the eldest son was born to inherit the throne, and the second prince was the alternate heir to the throne.

The rules of one king and three wives in Dongzhu doom that King Dongzhu will not have too many heirs, and there will not be too many princes, and it will be the turn of this generation of Dongzhu King, and there will be only one royal brother.

According to the rules, except for the eldest son who succeeded King Dongzhu will leave a detailed record, the rest of the princes only left a few strokes when they were born, and their growth and fate were not paid attention to, and their whereabouts were even more a mystery, and only the contemporary King Dongzhu knew where they were sent, and they had no token to prove their identity since they left Dongzhu, and they became forgotten people. And the second prince's tomb guarding is also a secret that is not recorded, and the identity of the tomb keeper announced to the public is only the attendant who follows the previous king, and there is no contact with the outside world in the royal tomb, and few people know about his existence.

Maybe the second prince of which generation has a good life, because the eldest prince died at a young age and obtained the qualification of the king of Dongzhu, the second son and young son of each generation are all sad, these children born in the royal family of Dongzhu are not as good as ordinary people's families, and they are not as good as a princess who can enjoy the glory of the royal family openly.

This ancestral system of Dongzhu is nothing more than to break the struggle between princes, save all the strength to protect the heir, and let the Dongzhu royal family unite around the absolute heir as the core and consolidate the foundation.

But this is really cruel, just like King Dongzhu did not hesitate to wave the knife at his own daughter, extremely ruthless.

"It turns out that there is such a strange thing in Dongzhu." On the way back to the palace, Lin Xin'er shook her head, disagreeing with such a thing, "If you don't want to leave a scourge, don't have another child, since you have already given birth, you are also a prince, just because the fate of birth is also a world of difference, it is too unfair." ”

"Even you say it's unfair, it seems that we should go to the royal tomb to visit the aggrieved second prince." Ximen Jingxuan decided where to go next.
