In Yan Zhen's mansion, it was brightly lit at this time, and the mansion was even more panicked. The secluded courtyard was even more messy, which showed the fighting at that time. Fortunately, the panic quickly calmed down, and the guards in the mansion were commanding in an orderly manner.

Although this incident was late at night, many people could not fall asleep. A prince was assassinated, which made people even more disgusted. Many people recalled the situation in the imperial city at this time. Are the two most powerful princes now already cleaning up those who are not good for them? This made many people who are still in a wait-and-see attitude and have to make choices.

In the Eastern Mansion near the Imperial City, it was solemn and grand. A man in a brocade robe in the hall was filled with an inviolable air. The people below were reporting what he had just been born not long ago.

The eldest prince Yan Shuo, who was not wearing a court uniform, held a teacup in his hand. After listening to the report quietly, his eyebrows slightly clumped, and finally spoke out: "Who sent someone to take action?"

"According to the spies lurking in the Fourth Prince's mansion, they didn't know that they were still investigating and immediately reported to the Lord when there was any news." The man replied.

"Check it out for me and be sure to get the most real information. If necessary, some people can be sacrificed." The eldest prince gave an order without blinking.

"I understand!" The man nodded and left.

"Sir, do you think the fourth brother was assassinated?" the eldest prince suddenly asked.

After this person left, a person walked out from behind the screen. This person dressed in an elegant manner and looked skillful and seemed to be middle-aged. However, as a person who gave advice around the eldest prince, the eldest prince understood that this person was over fifty years old. Originally, the eldest prince was on a weak side in the struggle for the crown prince, and was forced to retreat step by step by step by step by step. However, by chance, he met this person by chance. With this person's assistance, he quickly gained a foothold, and the eighth prince was so dirty that the eighth prince had the help of this person. To put it bluntly, without this person, there would be no powerful eldest prince now, and there was no strength to compete with the eighth prince.

They have been together for a long time, but the eldest prince has not found any information about this person's identity and background. He only knows his surname and is named Gui, and he usually calls him Mr. Gui.

"It's true!" Mr. Gui replied without thinking too much.

The eldest prince was surprised and curious why he was so sure that he had never been to the scene: "How can he see?"

"Three points." Mr. Gui said in a deep voice: "First, the assassination suddenly will inevitably cause chaos, and the news cannot be hidden. This is a fact. Second, according to your subordinates just reported, after the fierce battle, the scene was full of chaos. Obviously, the fierce battle was very fierce. No matter how strong the fourth prince was, it was impossible not to be injured when encountering a sneak attack by a master of his level."

"Sneak attack?" The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and said, "The fourth brother's mansion is very tight, how could he be sneak attacked?"

"When today, there is no place they can't get into." Mr. Ghost chuckled.

"Bloodthirsty organization." The eldest prince was startled, with a gleam in his eyes and said, "Is it the eighth brother's hand?"

Although I don’t know if the Eighth Prince took action, Yan Zhen was always a threat in the eyes of the eldest prince and the eighth prince, but both of them had a tacit understanding and did not take action immediately. After all, they had not figured out the strength hidden in Yan Zhen’s hand, and they took action rashly, causing Yan Zhen’s counterattack. At that time, both sides will suffer losses, and the other side will take advantage of it. Now that the tacit understanding is broken, once the news comes true, it will be time for the two of them to really meet.

In the mansion of the Eighth Prince in the north, he was also listening to the information reported by his subordinates. After a long time, he waved his hand to ask his subordinates to leave. The Eighth Prince was in the inner courtyard. The scenery here was beautiful, meticulously crafted, rockery and flowing water, and a quiet look. He sat alone by the stone table, with a game of Go in front and two boxes of chess boxes with lids on the side, but the board was empty. It was obvious that the person playing chess has not arrived for a long time.

But the Eighth Prince did not lose his patience. He drank the best tea and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the courtyard with great interest. He enjoyed it very much. After a few cups of tea passed, a man came from outside the door. The man was wearing plain clothes, tall, holding a white bone fan, and his eyes were shining with wisdom.

"You are coming slowly, Su Zhen." The eighth prince smiled.

"It's not slow, it's just right." The man named Su Zhen shook his bones and smiled faintly, not afraid of the powerful man now lifting a cup of tea from him.

"What's the news?" The eighth prince didn't care about the disrespect of this man's actions, but asked casually.

"Of course it's true, the fourth prince was indeed assassinated." Su Zhen said again: "But the injury is still to be investigated."

"I didn't expect that the eldest brother was so anxious, so he started early." The eighth prince said with a smile.

"There is no evidence that the eldest prince sent someone to take action. Is Your Highness too convinced, or is it better to wait?" Su Zhen shook his head and said.

"Oh, then wait!" The eighth prince frowned.

However, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Obviously, not only the princes are paying attention, but not only the people who come to Yan Zhen’s mansion to express their condolences, but they cannot enter. However, the people behind the visitors are all people of extraordinary origins, and these subordinates dare not offend them one by one. They can only pinch their noses and smile to greet them. They can only say one after another, and the Eighth Highness is still healing their wounds, so they beat them out.

While the bustling outside the door was very lively, in a quiet courtyard, two people were drinking and eating meat. One of them was Yan Zhen, who was healing his wounds, but looking at his drunken expression, he was not injured. The person sitting opposite him was Zhang Kaifeng, who seemed dizzy, but he couldn't fall down, making the servants who were standing by him speechless.

"You have been back for a long time, why did you appear now?" Yan Zhen said a little dissatisfied.

"I have something to worry about. Besides, we have seen each other before?" Zhang Kaifeng said.

"When?" Yan Zhen was inexplicably.

"Lingnan, didn't you invite me?" Zhang Kaifeng smiled.

"What, it's you." Yan Zhen seemed to wake up most of the time when he was drunk, and said, "Why don't you show your true body to meet us?"

"You also know that my identity is sensitive, and I have to be careful." Zhang Kaifeng sighed.

"Be careful, but do you know how Qingqing got through these years?" Yan Zhen was furious.

"I know, I'm sorry for her." Zhang Kaifeng could only say a few words.

"I'm sorry, can I just say sorry?" Yan Zhen refused to give in: "Do you know that Qingqing is not doing well, and I haven't seen her smile for a long time."

"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Kaifeng asked.

"Go to see her." Yan Zhen said seriously: "I don't care what you are. Zhang Kaifeng Qingqing is my sister. I don't want her to be hurt."

"You know I'm not coming back this time for this. Once I meet her, it will only bring her danger." Zhang Kaifeng said.

"Dangerous, who dares if I am?" Yan Zhen was very domineering.

In the end, Zhang Kaifeng quietly left here and walked on the street with a complicated expression in the end.
