East Palace.
Qianlong Pavilion.
Prince Qin An came in a hurry, pushed open the door, and saw a middle-aged man wearing night clothes walking anxiously.
"See Your Highness!"
Zhou Zheng saw Qin An coming in and quickly stepped forward to salute.
Qin An looked at Zhou Zheng and frowned, "What happened? Are you so anxious?"
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, there is news from Fengyu Tower that King Qi is dead!"
"What did you say?"
Qin An's face showed shock when he heard this. He looked at Zhou Zheng in disbelief, "How did you die?"
"He was assassinated and died, Your Highness. How should we deal with this matter now?"
Qin An couldn't help but became furious when he heard this, "What are these bastards in Fengyu Tower doing? Who wants them to kill King Qi?"
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots!"
He kicked the table into pieces, causing debris to fly. With an angry look on his face, he said in a hateful voice, "If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you can."
"Your Highness, please calm down. Now that King Qi is dead, Your Highness must not be implicated. We must clear up the relationship in this matter!"
Qin An took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, calmed down, and asked in a deep voice, "How did they kill King Qi? Tell me clearly?"
After listening to Zhou Zheng's report, he clenched his fists and said in a cold voice, "In other words, someone is fishing in troubled waters and assigning the crime of killing King Qi to Fengyulou, and Fengyulou is my person. This is Those who are pouring dirty water on me will be punished, and their intentions will be punished!"
"Have you found those two people?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head when he heard this, "Not yet, Huo Lieyang is leading a roundup with soldiers, and he hasn't been found before I get the news!"
Qin An's face was livid, "One hit, and you can escape thousands of miles away. This is the way of a killer. Check it out for me and find the murderer!"
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "My subordinates have ordered Fengyu Tower to investigate. Your Highness, the most important thing now is the capital and Your Majesty!"
He couldn't help having a headache after hearing this. Although King Qi was demoted from the capital because of the dragon blood incident, his father did not hate him. Now that King Qi is dead, his father will definitely be furious.
Black Ice Guard will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, but Fengyu Tower will definitely not be able to hide it. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Send the order to kill all the people in Fengyu Tower, leaving no one alive."
Zhou Zheng frowned when he heard this, "Your Highness, isn't it inappropriate to do this?"
If Fengyu Tower is really slaughtered, what will the rest of the people in the world think? It took a lot of effort for Your Highness to subdue them. If they are chilled, their power will definitely be disheartened.
Qin An waved his hand and said, "There is nothing wrong. King Qi's affairs must not be traced to me. I am just a person in the world. If he dies, he will die."
"If you don't have one, just look for it. There are many people in the world who want glory and wealth. They don't want anyone to want them. Once they join their ranks, they must be prepared to be abandoned."
Zhou Zheng's expression became solemn and he said in a deep voice, "Yes, my subordinates will make arrangements now!"
He glanced in the direction of the palace and asked in a deep voice, "Has your father received the news?"
Zhou Zheng showed a wry smile when he heard this, "Your Highness, the Black Ice Guard must have conveyed the news. Your Majesty is afraid that he already knows it!"
His eyes flickered, he looked at Zhou Zheng and asked, "Is there anyone from Fengyu Tower in the capital?"
"Yes, when Fengyu Tower was brought under His Highness' command, an elder was sent to the capital with people from Fengyu Tower for His Highness's dispatch. He is still in the capital now!"
A smile appeared on Qin An's face, "Very good, you lead them into Lao Liu's mansion and kill them all!"
Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Your Highness is wise!"
Your Majesty summoned King Yong back to the capital just to check and balance His Highness. Since he is an enemy, there is no need to be soft and drag King Yong into trouble. It would be best if King Yong could be eliminated.
King Qi is dead. If King Yong is removed, His Highness will ascend to the throne soon. He, Zhou Zheng, will be the minister of Conglong.
"Your Highness, do you want to inform the eldest princess about this?"
Qin An's face showed a look of contemplation, and then he shook his head and said, "Auntie is in the house, and we can't get in. We must not expose any flaws now. Let's wait until the storm is over!"
"Yes, my subordinates are resigning!"
Zhou Zheng nodded, then clasped his fists and left in a hurry.
Qin An looked in the direction of the palace with deep eyes, Father, how on earth are you going to handle this matter.
……
royal palace.
Qinghe Palace.
The eldest eunuch Hong Shou and the young eunuch were standing outside the palace. At this moment, the new commander of the Black Ice Guards, Sang Tianliang, hurried over with the two of them, with an anxious look on his face.
When Hong Shou saw Sang Tianliang coming in a hurry, his face showed anger. Why did Sang Tianliang enter the palace late at night and bring people to the harem?
"Eunuch Hong, is your Majesty here? I have something important to report!"
Hong Shou looked at Sang Tianliang and said in a deep voice, "Commander Sang, although you have the right to enter the palace at any time, isn't it inappropriate to bring people to the harem late at night?"
Hearing this, Sang Tianliang raised his hands and said, "Don't be surprised, Eunuch Hong, this matter is of great importance, so I had no choice but to enter the harem. I am reporting this to Your Majesty!"
Hong Shou was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that something big had happened?
"Your Majesty has gone to bed. What happened to Commander Sang?"
Sang Tianliang handed a piece of paper to Hong Shou and said in a deep voice, "Only father-in-law knows this!"
Hong Shou's expression became solemn, he looked at the young eunuch behind him and said, "You all stand down!"
When he saw the content above, his expression changed drastically, he looked at Sang Tianliang and asked in a low voice, "Is this true?"
Sang Tianliang stepped forward to Hong Shou and whispered, "It's absolutely true, His Highness's body is in Wuzhou Heibingwei Mansion Office!"
"You wait!"
Hong Shou hurriedly turned around and headed towards Qinghe Palace. When the two serving maids saw Hong Shou coming in, they hurriedly saluted, "Eunuch Hong!"
Hong Shou didn't have the chance. They came to the bedside first and called softly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"Well…"
Qin Xiao whispered softly, and Concubine Yao stood up, looked at Qin Xiao and shouted softly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
He opened his eyes and saw Hong Shou asking with some dissatisfaction, "What's the matter?"
Hong Shou looked at Concubine Yao and hesitated to speak. Qin Xiao frowned and said in a deep voice, "Speak!"
Hong Shou knelt on the ground with his knees touching and cried loudly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi has passed away!"
"What did you say?"
Qin Xiao stood up suddenly, looked at Hong Shou with murderous intent, and shouted sternly, "Say it again!"
"Your Majesty, news came from Wuzhou Black Ice Guards that His Royal Highness King Qi was assassinated in Wuzhou and has passed away!"
When Yang Yunyao heard this, she also had a look of shock on her face. Qin Xiao couldn't help but became furious and kicked Hong Shou on the shoulder, "What are you talking about?"
Hong Shou whispered, "Your Majesty, Commander Sang and the left and right governors are outside!"
Hearing this, Qin Xiao clenched his hands into fists and got out of bed first and walked out of Qinghe Palace. Sang Tianliang and Zuo Zhenfu saw Qin Xiao walking out with a murderous look on his face, and quickly saluted, "See you, Your Majesty!"
He looked at the murderous intent of the three people and asked coldly, "Is what Hong Shou said true?"
Sang Tianliang took a deep breath, "Yes!"
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"not yet!"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Sang Tianliang, and shouted sternly, "Then what are you doing here? Are you going to announce my funeral?"
He kicked Sang Tianliang away and said coldly, "Go to Wuzhou. If you can't catch the murderer, your entire Sang family will be executed!"
