When Ximen Hao saw the corpse lying at the gate of the North Palace. The bottom of my heart sank a little more.

He recognized this as one of the envoys of the Yuehua Kingdom. He had seen it in the palace.

"Who killed him?" Ximenhao looked around. Asked in a cold voice.

"Go back to the prince." One of the guards said. "The subordinates are just resisting this person. Stop him from breaking into the palace. But between the pushes and shoves. He vomited blood and died. ”

"That means none of you will be heavy on him." Ximen Hao asked.

Several of the guards nodded in unison.

"Lord Wang." Another guard said. "The subordinates suspect that this person is an assassin who infiltrated the palace the night before. His subordinates wounded the Assassin's leg that day. And this man's legs and feet are a little inflexible. ”

"Look it up." Ximen Hao said.

So the guard pulled up the corpse's trouser legs. Just a glance. And he said yes. "It's really good. This wound was inflicted by the swordsmanship of his subordinates. Subordinates recognized. ”

Everything is already clear. It's all made by Simon. This envoy was instructed by Ximen Yi to provoke the Northern Wangfu again. Maybe he didn't expect to die. But Ximen Yi had already done something to him in advance. He died at the hands of the people of the Northern Palace.

Maybe it's to add another sin to Ximen Hao. Maybe it's also to kill people. In short, as someone who may know the truth about Ushan's disappearance. It's dead.

"Lord Qiqi. The emperor ordered the prince to enter the palace as soon as possible. ”

The people in the palace were urging quickly.

"Got it." Ximen Hao replied coldly. Ride his red-maned fiery horse. Rush towards the palace.

In Jinyang Palace. There was a haze.

Simon Xianchu sat high on the dragon chair. Examining the ring. "This ring was found in your palace."

"Yes." Ximen Hao can't deny the "facts" that everyone has seen.

"I heard that there are also envoys of the Yuehua Kingdom who died outside the gate of your palace." Simon asked again.

"Yes." Ximen Hao admitted.

"Why did you have to kill him?" Simon's eyes were fierce in a flash. Shen Sheng asked.

"His death was an accident." Ximen Hao said.

"Unexpected. It's like this ring is found in the dark of your palace. It was also an accident. Ximen Xianchu looked at Ximen Hao with burning eyes.

If the ring appears in other corners of the North Palace. It can be said that someone deliberately planted the blame. But the ring appeared in a hidden compartment in the Northern Palace. It can't help but say that Ximen Hao is deliberately hiding it.

"Father. If the disappearance of Prince Wushan is really related to his sons. Could it be that the retainer would leave such an important thing in the palace? Ximen Hao asked calmly.

"I didn't know you were going to take advantage of Prince Ushan. What to do with this token of Prince Ushan. You have to explain all of this to me one by one. Simon said in a dignified voice. Ushan was kidnapped under his nose. It's not easy. He is most concerned about: If you continue to connive at Ximen Hao. Is this son impatient to take him to the throne? Take his jade seal and take it instead.

Ximen Hao looked at the man on the throne who sat on the throne and held the world. His father. From his look. It can be clearly seen. Out of vigilance for the throne. He already doesn't trust himself.

It is the nature of every king to be afraid of power. Sitting in the world, they don't worry about their throne being taken away by powerful people all the time. Even if it's his own son. I also have a grudge.

Simon Xianchu was already afraid of him, the terrifying king of the north. At this time, such distrust of him is also something that Ximen Hao can imagine. In order to keep his throne. He will definitely take the opportunity to suppress the power of the Northern Palace.

"Father. Before interrogating the sons. Erchen wanted to interrogate a private matter in the Northern Palace. Erchen is afraid that he will not have a chance in the future. Ximen Hao softened his tone. Road.

Ximen Xianchu and Ximen Yi were both surprised by Ximen Hao's reaction. He didn't justify his disadvantage. Rather, it makes an inconsequential request. The tone is weak, as if he wants to explain the future. This is a bit different from Ximen Hao's usual style.

"You say. What do you want to interrogate. Ximen Xianchu was brought into the circle of curiosity by Ximen Hao.

And Ximen Yi couldn't help but be vigilant. I don't know if this is a means for Ximen Hao to try to get away with it.

"Erchen just learned. Su Ran was guilty of defrauding the king. Ximen Hao said.

"Oh. Something happened to her. Ximen Xianchu was a little surprised by Ximen Hao's sudden mention of Su Dye paintings. I don't know where Su Ranhua offended him again. Let him still think about it when he is in danger.

Although Ximen Yi knew that Ximen Hao was worried about Su Ran's painting in his South Palace. But for a while, I couldn't figure out what he wanted to do when he said this.

"At the beginning, Master Su said that Su Ran painted the flesh and blood of his son. I prayed for my father's permission. forced his son to marry Su Ranhua. And Erchen also regretted the miscarriage of Su Ran's paintings. But later the retainers learned. Su Ran's painting was not the blood of his sons at all. She is taking advantage of her pregnancy to marry into the Beiwang Mansion. This scheming is unfathomable. Please ask my father to take a look. ”

Ximen Hao's words surprised everyone in Jinyang Palace. also caught Simon Xianchu and Simon Yi off guard.

"That's true. How do you know? Simon asked cautiously. If this is the case. It's not just Su Dye paintings. It will also pull up the city of Suluo. The scheming is unfathomable. In fact, it is for Suluo City. and pretending to be royal blood. If you really give birth to a child. Wouldn't it be to disgrace the whole royal family? This is the blatant crime of deception.

"It was Imperial Physician Liu who told Erchen." Ximen Hao said. "According to the days. Su Dye painting when the production was small. The fetus should be full moon. But Dr. Liu diagnosed the fetus as only twenty days old. That is, after the accident between Erchen and Su Ranhua. I was pregnant. The son can be held accountable for the unintentional absurdity. But if you deliberately take a child who has nothing to do with your son to persecute your son. persecuted his father to give a marriage. The significance of this is not trivial. ”

Ximen Yiwan never thought that there was such a secret hidden in Su Ran's painting.

"Why are you only talking about it now?" Simon asked. Ximen Hao had known about this for a long time. But he said it when he was suffering. What exactly is the plan?

"Erchen knows that this matter is very important. About the royal face. Therefore, Imperial Doctor Liu was warned to keep it a secret for the time being. I originally wanted to pretend that I didn't know. Appeased Su Dye painting. While secretly finding out all the facts. Playing the father again. But at this time, something suddenly happened. Caught Erchen off guard. Erchen did not admit that Wushan's deeds were done by Erchen. But again there was no evidence to refute it. Therefore, I implore my father to investigate everything thoroughly for my sons. Wash away the innocence of the sons. Erchen would rather stay in prison in peace. Waiting for news from my father. ”

Ximen Hao said earnestly. By the way, he also gave a reasonable explanation for his performance of Su Ran's "favor" painting a few days ago. It's just to appease her for the time being.
