The third prince suddenly stopped and said to the man in black, "The second and fifth sons have really left the capital?"
The third prince seemed a little unconvinced. In the past, none of the five brothers would obey the other. They thought that their father would make the eldest brother the prince. After all, the eldest brother was the legitimate son. Who knew that ten years after another, they would see hope?
.I think my father did not think highly of the eldest brother, otherwise he would not have delayed it for so many years. Seeing that they were over fifty, my father actually directly appointed Bei Mingfei as the emperor's grandson. It is simply ridiculous, it is really ridiculous.
There were five princes under his father's knees, but he could not look down on any of them. They couldn't believe this was true, and their five princes had become a joke in Northern Xinjiang. The father and the emperor issued an order to let them all leave the capital. The second child
How could He and Lao Wu be so obedient and leave the capital? Naturally, he didn't believe that Lao Er and Lao Wu had left like this. It was very likely that they were just leaving the capital temporarily.
"Yes, the only people left in the mansion are the housekeeper and some servants to take care of the palace." The man in black said.
The third prince waved his hand and told the man in black to leave first. But he did not return to the main courtyard, but walked to Feng Mingye's courtyard.
Murong Xi heard the sound in the yard, turned around and hurried into the inner room. Feng Mingye sat on the couch drinking tea. When she saw the third prince coming in, she had a somewhat surprised expression on her face and asked, "Why is the prince doing this at this time?"
Are you here? Is the princess’ condition relapsing again?”
The third prince shook his head, and seeing that Feng Mingye was the only one in the room, he said, "Pluto, I don't know if Mr. Baili is in the yard. I have some spices in my hand. I want to know if there is anything wrong with this spice."
Feng Mingye's expression did not change, but she was a little surprised that the third prince would suspect that the spices in Bei Mingxue's house were mixed with spices. The third prince was indeed unusual, he was so shrewd.
"Ye Feng, please come over here." Feng Mingye said to the door.
The Third Prince didn't see anyone in the courtyard, but after hearing Feng Mingye's instructions, he realized that the people following Feng Mingye were not simple at all. The courtyard was somewhere he couldn't see, and he didn't know how to hide it.
How many such guards are there.
Baili Chen walked in enthusiastically. When Ye Feng went to find him, he told him why the third prince was in Feng Mingye's house. Baili Chen secretly sighed that the third prince was an old fox like the Northern Emperor.
.
"Aye, Third Prince, has something happened to the princess?" Bai Lichen asked pretending to be surprised.
"Mr. Baili, Xue'er has nothing to do at the moment. I brought some things this time. Please take a look at the spices in my hand first." The third prince didn't say anything to Baili Chen and directly took out the spices and put them in Baili Chen's basket.
Lichen's hand.
Bailichen took it in his hand and smelled it. After crushing the spice, he tasted it with the tip of his tongue. After gargling his mouth with tea, he said, "This is... the spice in the princess's room? The taste is exactly the same. It's three kinds of spices."
Did the prince find it from the princess’s room?”
The third prince shook his head and said, "These spices are not from Xue'er's room, but they do taste the same. It is for this reason that I brought them over. I hope Mr. Baili can help me see if there is any problem."
After listening to the Third Prince's words, Bai Lichen had no choice but to put the crushed spices into an empty tea cup, and then added some water. Soon the spices melted with the water, and the water became a little turbid.
Bai Lichen had to admit that this spice was extremely precious, and generally only the royal family could afford to use it. Therefore, if this spice was not taken from Bei Mingxue's house, it was stolen from other palaces. In the morning, Murong Xi
The spices given to her must have come from other princes' palaces.
However, Bai Lichen couldn't tell that he got the spices from other palaces, so he had to say, "There is nothing wrong with this spice. You just said that this is not the spice in the princess's house. If the spices in the princess's house are like this,
There’s no problem with the spices either. It seems like we need to start somewhere else.”
"Mr. Baili, what should I do if Xue'er keeps falling asleep? If the fever continues to be so high, will my head be burned out?" The third prince said anxiously.
Bai Lichen sneered in his heart, did this old fox really care about Bei Mingxue? He was just worried that Bei Mingxue would no longer be able to advise him in the future.
Bai Lichen nodded and said, "After the princess takes the medicine, she will slowly get better. But when she will wake up depends on the princess' physical recovery, so I can't be sure."
The third prince's face changed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He must find out who wants to harm Bei Mingxue, and if he catches her, he will not let her go.
After the third prince left the courtyard, Murong Xi came out of the inner room. Murong Xi sneered and said, "I'm afraid this old fox doesn't treat Bei Mingxue sincerely."
"He is just worried that Bei Mingxue can no longer advise him. Do you think he will treat Bei Mingxue sincerely?" Baili Chen said leisurely.
"He doesn't seem to have any doubts about the step princess, and he didn't get the spices from the step princess." Feng Mingye said calmly.
"Bei Mingxue's previous disguise was very successful. Everyone thought she was kind, gentle and intelligent. Therefore, it stands to reason that no one in the capital would do anything harmful. The third prince probably thought so too, so he investigated
Let me continue to guess, the third prince must have thought that someone from the royal family wanted Bei Mingxue's life." Murong Xi also murmured.
"Huh? I heard that the second prince and the fifth prince had already left the capital and gone to the fiefdom. And the fourth prince was the closest person to the third prince. Naturally, there was no need to poison Bei Mingxue. So the third prince was the easiest to suspect.
The person should be the eldest prince. However... the third prince is very suspicious, and maybe in addition to the eldest prince, he will also doubt the fourth prince." Bai Lichen asked.
Feng Mingye continued, "You are right. The third prince must have sent people to other princes' palaces before to find those spices."
"Why didn't he suspect the step princess?" Bai Lichen said with some confusion.
"Ye Feng said that he met the step princess today, and he seemed to be suspicious of the step princess. Maybe it was because the step princess was pregnant, and he felt that the step princess would not do such a thing at this time." Feng Mingye said.
"It seems that the third prince underestimated the viciousness of the step princess and harmed his daughter but was still kept in the dark." Murong Xi said.
"Then shall we tell the Third Prince about this?" Bai Lichen asked.
Murong Xi smiled and said, "Of course we have to keep hiding it from the Third Prince and let him investigate on his own so that he can truly feel the heartache. The child in the step princess's belly is innocent and we don't need to take action."
"If the third prince knows that it was the step princess who committed the murder, he will definitely take action against the step princess." Bai Lichen said with a slight frown.
"He probably won't do anything to his child. After all, this child is very important to him. If he really cares about the child, we can save the child first," Murong Xi said.
The child in the step princess's belly is innocent. She couldn't bear to give her a bowl of abortion pills to abort the baby. Therefore, not only would she not harm the child, but she would also try her best to keep the child. If the step princess really did something that was unreasonable,
, wait until the child is born and let Bei Mingxue deal with her.
"Xier, do you think the child is innocent?" Feng Mingye could see through Murong Xi's heart at a glance.
"Well, the child in the belly is naturally innocent. If Bei Mingxue cannot tolerate this child, I believe that the old emperor of Beijiang will definitely protect this child." Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
"Well, I agree with your idea. We can take this opportunity to see if Bei Mingxue has good thoughts in her heart and if she sincerely changes her mind." Feng Mingye agreed very much with Murong Xi's idea.
"We need to hurry up and solve the problem. It's been a long time since we came to Northern Xinjiang." Murong Xi missed her little bun a little and wanted to solve the problem here as soon as possible.
So in the next few days, Bai Lichen still went to Bei Mingxue's yard to show off every day. Because the spices had been changed, Bei Mingxue's complexion was still good. Murong Xi was worried that the step princess would come up with some new tricks.
For example, adding medicine to the soup. So, she refined some pills in Luohuaxuan. Bailichen kept these pills for Bei Mingxue. After taking the pills, her body had recovered to a certain extent.
Feng Mingye arranged for the people from the Yama Palace to follow the third prince. Since the third prince wanted to rebel, he would definitely raise private soldiers. The people from the Yama Palace quickly found the hiding place of these private soldiers.
Went to Zhuangzi outside the city.
After finding the private soldiers, he discussed it with Murong Xi and then went to the palace together.
"What? The third child actually raises a private soldier?" the Northern Emperor said angrily.
"Since he is ambitious, he will naturally raise some soldiers and horses. Moreover, we have found those private soldiers. What do you want to do?" Murong Xi asked.
The Northern Emperor thought for a moment and asked, "Approximately how many troops does he have?"
There was no extra expression on Feng Mingye's face, and he said without emotion, "His people are all elites, but they are not too many, only 20,000 to 30,000 men."
"With only 20,000 to 30,000, he wants to rebel? Is he crazy?" the Northern Emperor said incredulously.
"I told you, those soldiers are all elite. Although they don't look many in number, but if you want to compare with your imperial guards, they are naturally a step ahead." Feng Mingye said.
The number of people was investigated by the people from Yama Hall, so naturally it is not wrong.
"So what if you are an elite? Can you defeat the hundreds of thousands of people in our capital?" the Northern Emperor said disdainfully.
"Don't underestimate these elites. If the Third Prince colludes with other countries and launches an army to attack Northern Xinjiang, how many troops will you leave in the capital? By then, his 20,000 to 30,000 troops will easily enter the capital." Murong Xi
said.
"Attack the city? He really had a good idea, taking advantage of the chaos to lead troops to the capital to seize the throne. I have already issued an order for several princes to go to their fiefdoms, but the third and fourth sons were still reluctant to move. I knew that he would not
I was willing to leave like this. But I didn't expect that he would have such an idea." The Northern Xinjiang Emperor was not surprised by his third son's thoughts. The third son was indeed a ruthless person. Moreover, for the sake of the throne, he did not collude with other countries
Impossible. Murong Xi and Feng Mingye have always done things neatly, and what Murong Xi said just now is very likely to be true.
"I have one more thing to discuss with you. I told you about the third princess before. Of course, we are not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the third prince's house. The old man still needs to make a decision. The step princess did harm the third princess back then, and now there is
After becoming pregnant, I planned to harm Bei Mingxue. Old man, you know my temperament. Seeing that Bei Mingxue is doing it for my mother and concubine, I won’t care. If she can change her ways, I won’t care. So, continue
Let Bei Mingxue make the decision regarding the princess. However, the child is innocent. If Bei Mingxue cannot tolerate this child, after all, he is of the blood of the Northern Xinjiang royal family. You can make the decision." Murong Xi thought about it and finally decided
The step princess told him about her plan to murder Bei Mingxue.
"The step princess wants to murder Xue'er?" the Northern Emperor asked with a slight frown.
"Well, because I knew the prescription prescribed by Bai Lichen, and then changed the spices in Beiming Snow House, it caused Beiming Snow to have a high fever and fall into coma." Murong Xi explained.
