Qiuqiu boldly made an inference that Li Jin was most likely the illegitimate son of the Zhan guards!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain such a bullish character, but he was willing to waste so much time in the Six Princes' Mansion.
Feng Xiaoxiao also guessed the same thing, he told Qiuqiu that there would be results in a few days.
If Li Jin is really not a dragon species, it can explain why Mo Xiu has given up on snatching the throne, and the Zhan guards still want to take Qiu Qiu as a hostage to blackmail Mo Xiu.
Mo Xiu is not by Qiuqiu's side, he has to protect Qiuqiu's safety, and he has to investigate these things clearly no matter what.
The stakes are very high, and the old emperor will die soon, Qiuqiu suspects that Li Jin will be a cruel attack on the ten-year-old Seventh Emperor and the Eight-Prince, who is more than two months old, just in case.
As expected, secret news from the palace came at night.
Since the incident of the crown prince, the old emperor's mental state has deteriorated, and he has written and sealed the edict this morning, and informed the civil and military officials.
The edict was issued in duplicate and placed in the secret room of the deep palace, and there were special soldiers and generals who took turns to guard it.
As soon as the edict was sealed, the ten-year-old Seventh Prince suddenly died, and if it wasn't discovered in time, the Eighth Prince would have been poisoned.
Needless to say, these were all done by Li Jin, but there was no evidence that even the old emperor couldn't help him.
The old emperor had no choice but to issue an order for a thorough investigation, and transferred the eighth prince Li Yu to a safe and secret place, and sent a trusted henchman palace eunuch to wait day and night.
Xiangyun trembled, kept burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, praying that the eight princes were safe and sound.
Feng Xiaoxiao felt the seriousness of the situation, Feng Xiaoxiao readjusted the people around Mojiazhuang, and he had to ensure Qiuqiu's safety.
Qiuqiu also decided to stay in Mojiazhuang until the master arrived.

At night, in the old emperor's bedroom, the old emperor leaned weakly against the edge of the bed, and Xiao Shun was waiting for him to eat.
The old emperor's appetite is getting worse and worse, the seventh prince died, and the eighth prince almost died, and he was in a bad mood tonight, which directly affected his appetite.
Xiaoshun's father-in-law knelt down and asked: "Your Majesty, Xiaoshunzi is brave, please ask the emperor to eat more." ”
The old emperor waved his hand weakly: "Withdraw." ”
The palace maid came in gently, went out gently, and soon withdrew the supper.
Xiaoshun's father-in-law came over with a teacup, and the old emperor took a sip of tea, and asked with emotion: "Xiaoshunzi, do you say that I am suffering retribution?" ”
Xiaoshun's father-in-law hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty ......"
The old emperor sighed lightly: "That's it, even if it's retribution for me, I can't do anything!" I have already made up for it, whether this country will fall into the hands of outsiders or not, I can only resign myself to fate! ”
Xiaoshun's father-in-law didn't dare to look up at the old emperor, he bowed his head and comforted the old emperor: "The emperor is wise, everything will be under the emperor's control." ”
The old emperor closed his eyes lightly and muttered, "It's just as you say." ”
What happened recently is like a dream.
He knew that he would die soon, for the sake of the Li family's future generations, he decided to pass on the throne to the capable six princes, so he recalled the six princes back to the capital.
He wanted to deliberately stimulate the crown prince and let the prince deal with the six princes, and then seize the prince's mistake and take the opportunity to abolish him.
He didn't expect that the crown prince and the queen would go to extremes and assassinate him, which was too big a blow to him.
Fortunately, when others are dying, they begin to be kind.
He remembered the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, and let go of the queen, only when she did not participate in the killing of him, he also let go of the prince and only put him in the cold palace.
