the next day.
The capital was shaken, King Qi was assassinated, the eldest princess's mansion was guarded by the imperial army, and Grand Master Zhao Guangji disappeared.
What's even more incredible is that Master Zhao's body was found from Prince Qi's Mansion, and there was an uproar.
The grand master of the current dynasty died in the palace of a prince, which is even more imaginative.
In particular, Zhao Guangji was from the prince's camp and died in the palace of the prince's rival, King Qi, which attracted the attention of all officials in the court.
The nine admirals immediately investigated and found clues from the Grand Master's Mansion. The Grand Master went to the East Palace last night, and suddenly all the fingers were pointed at the Prince.
Prince's Mansion.
When Prince Qin An heard the news, he threw the tea cup to the ground first, with an angry look on his face, "How could this happen?"
"Why is there a forbidden army guarding the princess's mansion? What happened?"
Prince Zhan Shi Huang Cheng stood up and said, "Your Highness, your Majesty went to the eldest princess's mansion last night, and then the eldest princess's mansion was sealed!"
He was shocked and asked quickly, "What happened?"
Huang Cheng shook his head, "I don't know. I've asked someone to find out. I don't know if I can find out."
He was the first to sit on the main seat, his eyes were dull, and the eldest princess's palace was sealed. Could it be that my father was warning me.
Huang Cheng looked at Qin An and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Qin An took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Just tell the truth. It was an assassin who killed Grand Master Zhao. This assassin was Gui Wushuang under King Qi."
Huang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head, "No, the Grand Master's body appeared in Prince Qi's Mansion. Doesn't this make sense?"
Qin An watched Huang Cheng stand up and smiled and said, "That's a fair explanation. The Grand Master was killed by an assassin when he left the palace last night. It was already late at night, and you didn't notify me!"
"You then made your own decisions and ordered someone to put the Grand Master's body in Prince Qi's Mansion to put the blame on Prince Qi. All of this was your own decision and had nothing to do with me!"
When Huang Cheng heard Qin An's words, his expression changed drastically. If he took this charge, everyone in the Huang family would probably die.
He fell to his knees with a thud, his face turned pale, "Your Highness, I have seniors and juniors, and I cannot bear the responsibility for such a big crime!"
Qin An helped him up, "If you can bear it, don't worry, I will keep your son. When I ascend the throne, I won't let you Huang family suffer!"
"Your Highness...I..."
Huang Cheng's face showed a bitter look, and Qin An's eyes sharpened, "What to say, how to say it, you should know!"
At this moment, Zhu Shou walked in and saw Qin An saluting, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you!"
Qin An had a smile on his face, "Thank you, Eunuch Hong!"
"Your Highness, you're welcome!"
The two walked side by side, Qin An asked with a smile, "Eunuch Hong, how is my father's mood today?"
Hong Shou put away the banknotes, shook his head and said, "It's not very good. Your Majesty went to the eldest princess's mansion last night and talked about old things. It was very unpleasant!"
Qin An's heart moved, "But because of that incident?"
Hong Shou glanced at Xi Zhou and said, "Yes! Your Majesty was furious last night. Your Highness should be careful!"
His heart tightened, it seemed that this matter had to be handled properly, and his father must not be disappointed in him.
As long as his father didn't have Yi Chu's thoughts, his position as prince would be as stable as a mountain, and it would be useless no matter how hard King Qi jumped.
"Thank you for the tip, father-in-law! I wonder if King Qi will also enter the palace?"
Hong Shou nodded and said, "This is natural. After all, the Grand Master's death is related to His Highness and King Qi!"
……
Prince Qi's Mansion.
Qin Ling looked at the message in his hand. His face was livid, and he exuded fierce murderous intent. "Who is it? Who did it?"
Last night, his power in the capital was uprooted, and the most powerful killer organization was destroyed, which made him furious.
The most hateful thing was that Gui Wushuang betrayed him and came to assassinate him, making him want to cut Gui Wushuang into pieces with a thousand knives.
The most important thing is that the body of Grand Master Zhao Guangji unexpectedly appeared in his residence, which gave him an extremely headache. If he couldn't handle this matter well, he would be finished.
Wu Yifan clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, we are investigating. The most important thing now is to deal with the matter of Grand Master Zhao. Your Majesty will definitely summon you to the palace. Has your Highness thought of a countermeasure?"
His face was livid, and he said coldly, "This matter must have been instigated by the prince, otherwise the nine admirals would not have the courage to come to the palace to search!"
"I have my own countermeasures for this matter. I dealt with all the people who were on duty last night. They are a bunch of trash! A waste of food!"
"Have you found Gui Wushuang?"
Wu Yifan shook his head and said, "Not yet, but he has been seriously injured and it is impossible to leave the capital. I will increase the manpower to search!"
"We must find him. I will blame the killing of Zhao Guangji on him and the prince. It is the prince who instigated him to kill Zhao Guangji and put the blame on me. It is also the prince who assassinated me!"
"yes!"
His eyes narrowed and he saw Hong Shou walking in. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Hong!"
"His Royal Highness King Qi, your Majesty has summoned you!"
……
The eldest princess's mansion.
Qin Ying was lying on the bed, and Peony and Nightingale came in. Seeing that she hadn't gotten up yet, he couldn't help but be startled, with doubts in his eyes.
His Highness should be up at this time. Could it be that His Highness went to bed too late last night?
Mudan stepped forward and looked at Qin Ying. Suddenly she smelled the smell of wine, frowned, and called softly, "Your Highness... Your Highness..."
Qin Ying opened her eyes and saw Peony and Nightingale. She rubbed her eyebrows and asked, "What time is it?"
Peony looked at the sky and said, "A quarter after two!"
"Where are the others?"
Mudan and Nightingale were stunned when they heard this, and they looked at each other, human? who?
Qin Ying saw Mudan's expression and asked, "Didn't you send me back to my room?"
Mudan looked at Qin Ying with some confusion, "Your Highness, you were already on the bed when I entered the room!"
Qin Ying was shocked. She looked at her clothes and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She got out of bed and walked a few steps before coming to the table and sitting down.
Mudan and Nightingale looked at Qin Ying with strange expressions on their faces. Your Highness is so strange today.
"Nightingale, how's the matter?"
Nightingale clasped her fists and said, "Your Highness, King Qi's influence in the capital has been eradicated, but there are other places, and we don't have time!"
"No problem, give me the list!"
Nightingale was stunned when she heard this. She didn't ask any questions as to why His Highness wanted the list. She nodded and said, "Yes, I will have it sent to you."
"Peony, what's going on in the capital?"
Mudan suppressed her smile, "Your Highness, Zhao Guangji's body was found in Prince Qi's Mansion. Since we didn't get rid of the insider or suppress the news last night, the finger is now pointed at the Crown Prince!"
"Your Majesty has sent someone to announce that the Crown Prince and Prince Qi have entered the palace! The plan is going very smoothly!"
Nightingale was stunned when she heard what the two of them said, "Didn't His Highness treat you as the crown prince again?" What's happening here.
A smile appeared on Qin Ying's face, "Very good, has Li Shangshu arrived at Youlan Garden?"
"We are heading to Youlan Garden!"
"I know, go down!"
She came to the dressing table and looked at the beautiful face in the bronze mirror, with a charming look on her face, "You have the heart but not the courage!"
