Chapter 174: Investigate one by one

"Speaking of this concubine, I heard that when the third prince Xia Huo was born, because a garden caught fire, it burned down some of the great tonic herbs that your father liked to plant at that time, which was originally a displease, but because of Concubine Hui's plea, it made your father happy, so he took advantage of the 'fire' and gave the name of the third prince......"

"Fire ......"

Xia Jiang listened to his mother say this, and at the same time tried to recall, he couldn't help but find that the concubine seemed to be a little unusual to Xia Huo, to say that she had protected Xia Huo, but sometimes it made him feel a little awkward, as if he was a little harsh on Xia Huo, such as being so determined to maintain Xia Huo's marriage with Xia Yun'er, but he didn't know that Xia Yun'er didn't like Xia Huo at all, and the guide zhì ended up dismally.

Although he Xia Jiang is the culprit of the day, but there is a way that he will not die if he does not die, if it is not for their own incompetence, even if he Xia Jiang is powerful, what can he change?

Thinking of this, Xia Jiang felt that this mother and son were suspicious, and immediately included them among the suspects.

Then Concubine Qin began to analyze the four princes again.

"Speaking of which, it seems a little unusual to love a concubine, to be said, this concubine was once your father's favorite concubine, all because of her pure affection for your father, she should have received more for it, but because of a mistake, she brought a despised drug to your father's bedroom, and at that time it happened to be your father's busy military affairs, and it seemed that she did not know how to measure, which made your father disgusted, and in a fit of anger, he never paid attention to her again......"

"Speaking of which, there was only that time, and she didn't make any more mistakes, but your father didn't pay attention to her anymore, even if she was still in love with your father all the time, I don't know if it was because of this, the fourth prince had a withdrawn personality, and his heart was completely different from his mother, and it was rumored that he specialized in cultivating some vicious magic weapons, so his mother was snubbed by your father even more......"

Xia Jiang listened carefully, and sure enough, he found that the fourth prince Xia Yan also had a problem, his relationship with his mother was not good, he was always alone, and he practiced poison weapon exercises, which was simply insulting his mother's pure beauty and kindness.

Immediately, Xia Jiang did not hesitate to bring the fourth prince Xia Yan closer to the list of suspects.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Jiang listened to his mother recall the situation of other princes and princesses, and he didn't rest for a day and a night, and he kept talking about each of his brothers.

Among them, his mother didn't even let go of herself, reassuring Xia Jiang that his identity was definitely his father's biological son.

Xia Jiang admired his mother's seriousness, and at the same time, he also knew that it was precisely because of his father's secret edict that his mother, as a concubine, naturally could not escape suspicion, so he would definitely tell his deeds for Xia Jiang to confirm.

One day and one night, after about two or three times of recollection and analysis, Xia Jiang had preliminarily concluded that there were four princes who were suspicious.

Among them, the third and fourth princes are the most suspicious, and the thirteenth prince, who he trusts the most, and the tenth prince, who is the most controversial, also have some suspicions.

Ten of them, because on the day he was born, his mother actually took him to escape from the palace, away from the Xia Kingdom, and never see his father again, but under the vigorous pursuit of his father, he forcibly brought back their mother and son, and for a long time afterward, it was still under the meticulous care of his father that his mother was gradually moved, and did not hate his father because of some things.

Although the mother of the tenth prince hated her father for something, her mother didn't say anything, but Xia Jiang knew that there must be a reason, so although this matter seemed to have a reason in the first place and there was no suspicion, it was theoretically the most suspicious one, because on the way to escape, the tenth prince, who had hardly been seen by anyone at that time, could be dropped casually.

The issue of the identity of the prince, in addition to the bloodline, of course, there is another possibility, that is, "the tanuki for the prince", and he was dropped.

And because of the changes in form over the years, the two can be judged accordingly.

And because he was born with a serious illness, the thirteenth prince who was included in his list is less suspicious, so Xia Jiang now locks the real biggest suspect should be the third and fourth princes.

Speaking of which, it seems that because these two people have a life-and-death enmity with him Xia Jiang, but otherwise, Xia Jiang is not the kind of person who declares personal vendettas, and he will definitely handle this secret task given to him by Xia Xiong!

But even so, he still had to go as planned, and he immediately started the investigation with the youngest prince, so as not to show the slightest trace of the object of his suspicion, so as not to startle the snake.

The youngest prince is currently the seventeenth prince, and he soon came to the place where the seventeenth prince and princess are.

Originally, Xia Jiang had no right to investigate the princess, but now it is a special period, and those guards only saw Xia Jiang passing the king's message, so they immediately gave them a pass and let Xia Jiang go to meet the princess.

This princess, only eighteen or nineteen years old, not a few years older than Xia Jiang, it is said that at the age of twelve or thirteen, he was favored by his father, and now his son is more than four years old, Xia Jiang looked at this princess and felt that she was unusually mature, but it made him feel sad.

Xia Jiang didn't touch her, only let her touch his demon devouring sword with his hand, and with just a slight probe, he could roughly judge whether this concubine was loyal to his father and whether she had different intentions.

Under Xia Jiang's explanation, the other party tried his best to cooperate, and Xia Jiang quickly got the information he wanted, and immediately thanked him for leaving.

Now he is just investigating the princess, and when the princesses are all investigated, the brothers will naturally get together at that time, and when the time comes, with the power of his enchantment, he will be able to easily find out the truth from the comparative analysis.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Jiang concocted the same method, and treated the mother of the sixteenth prince, the fifteenth prince, the fourteenth prince, and the mother of the thirteenth prince, Concubine Guan.

Concubine Guan didn't seem to have a good impression of Xia Jiang, which made Xia Jiang a little surprised, and her son's feelings for him were completely different, and she even kept saying that she didn't want Xia Xin to have contact with Xia Jiang.

Xia Jiang didn't have time to explain the truth or falsity of the rumors about him, so he just checked them lightly and left immediately.

Then continued to investigate, all the way to Concubine Xiang, the mother of the ten princes.

This concubine didn't have any special opinion about Xia Jiang, and even she didn't seem to care about all the princes, so she regarded Xia Jiang as a special envoy, and cooperated with him with great respect, which made Xia Jiang feel extremely abnormal, feeling that although she was in this palace, she didn't know where her heart was.

"This concubine looks really suspicious, she is in the palace, her heart is in the wild, she can't make people suspicious, but she doesn't feel any ambition from her at all, and she doesn't have that kind of rebellious dissent, but it's strange......" Xia Jiang secretly analyzed, but he couldn't make up his mind about this concubine.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Jiang checked the eight, seven, six, and five princesses one by one, compared to these four, it was much simpler, and there was really nothing suspicious.

It wasn't until the third day that Xia Jiang finally came to the palace of Concubine Hui.

From the outside, he could almost tell that his father had favored this concubine, Cheng Dù, the whole palace was built very uniquely, and the materials and construction techniques used in the lacquer surface all expressed his father's love for him, which was definitely the envy of other princesses.

But even so, because of that incident, the princess has been neglected since then, and ended up as desolate as many princesses.

"Xia Jiang!"

Xia Jiang came here and was about to enter, but was suddenly stopped by a sound.

Looking sideways, Xia Jiang suddenly saw the fourth prince Xia Yan flashing out from the side, and suddenly looked at him with cold eyes.

I have investigated many princesses before, and only one or two princes happened to have visited his mother's place, and he didn't see that brother, which is a pity, but he didn't expect that this concubine was there, but he saw his son Xia Yan, which is a good thing for Xia Jiang, although it is a little strange, after all, their mother-son relationship is very ordinary.

"Xia Yan, you're just in time!" Although Xia Jiang saw Xia Yan's face cold, he still remained silent and said his thoughts.

But obviously, this Xia Yan didn't buy it at all, and he didn't care what Xia Jiang said, he shouted directly: "Don't talk nonsense, don't let me go!"

"Get out of ?......" Xia Jiang heard this, but immediately shook his head and said: "I have a message from my father and the king, so I came here on purpose, why do you want to get out?"

However, this Xia Yan didn't seem to be a fool, and he even knew that Xia Jiang was here to investigate the matter, but he insisted: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, I'll say it again!

Even if it was Xia Jiang before, it was impossible for him to be intimidated by the other party's threat, let alone now?

"Xia Yan, I advise you not to hinder me, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" Faced with the other party's verbal threat, Xia Jiang immediately stopped being polite to him, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

This light was more like the murderous aura in Xia Yan's eyes than the chill in Xia Yan's eyes, like a wave, enveloping the past, surging to the extreme.

Sure enough, Xia Yan's face was fierce and cold, but in the face of such a substantial murderous aura, his eyes widened and he didn't dare to move.

Xia Jiang's appearance gave him the pinnacle of a monk, not yet a cultivator, but when his strength was displayed, it was far beyond the realm of cultivators he understood, endless!

It can be said that in this palace, the most mysterious and silent person is this Xia Yan, and there are very few people who know about it, no one knows what he has been thinking in his heart, even when he is with Xia Huo.

Xia Jiang was naturally wary of this person, even more so than Xia Huo, but it wasn't until this moment that he had some understanding of people, and at this moment, with the cultivation of his great cultivator, he was tempting the other party, making him immediately feel that this person was like a vicious and latent poisonous snake, and when facing a strong enemy, he was extremely strong and fierce, and this kind of person had no real friends, and the whole person was often in an extremely sensitive state!

Sensing this, Xia Jiang immediately knew how to deal with him, but found that the other party had been intimidated by his super strength and would not hinder him for the time being.

Xia Jiang simply didn't say much, seeing that he was no longer moving, even when he entered the palace.

In the palace, there are few subordinates, they all seem to be as silent as their masters, and when they see Xia Jiang coming, they only know how to bow silently and say nothing.

No one showed him the way, Xia Jiang entered it by himself, but found the concubine herself in a study.

This concubine was painting silently, Xia Jiang slowly approached and saw that in the painting, it was the scene with which his father Wang Xia Xiong used to get along, and he was so obsessed.

Xia Jiang didn't want to disturb the other party too much, so he just said this in an extremely ordinary tone, and began to monitor the other party.

In contrast, this concubine did not have the slightest rejection, and even held the Demon Devouring Sword with both hands with some expectation, which made it a little difficult for Xia Jiang to make her the object of suspicion.

"That Xia Yan and his mother, it really doesn't feel like it has anything to do with it, if there is a difference between mother and son, then these two are definitely the biggest, but ......" Xia Jiang immediately came to a conclusion in his heart, and at this moment, there was no way to put them on the list of suspects.

Although there is a huge difference between the two, but because of the temptation and monitoring of the two at the same time, he found that the two of them have no different intentions, because of this Xia Yan sneak attack on him before, he wanted to kill him, he was indeed extremely vigilant against the other party, but that was him, and now he began to feel that this was probably all affected by the summer fire.

Thinking of this, Xia Jiang gradually became more and more suspicious of Xia Huo, and at the same time he was a little prepared, because he had already experienced it and knew that Concubine Na was not a good negotiator, and I was afraid that this investigation would definitely be rejected by the other party and unwilling to cooperate.
