Chapter 1707 Jia Heng: King Yàn is my brother-in-law, why did he harm me?
Princess Jinyang's Mansion, Rear Residence
Princess Jinyang's beautiful and bright face was covered with worry, and she asked: "What's going on? Why did someone assassinate him?"
Lianxue pulled up her lush hair into a woman's bun, and said in a soft and soft voice with a bit of freshness and coquettishness: "Your Highness, King Wei seems to have known about this matter for a long time, so it's more like
It’s about taking advantage of the situation and luring the snake out of its hole.”
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked noncommittal, her charming and flowing eyes were clear, and she asked: "Where is Xiahou? Let her come over. I will ask questions later."
Lianxue said "hmm", then turned and left the wing to look for Xia Houying.
After a while, Lianxue left and came back, followed by Xia Houying, who was wearing a flying fish suit and a beautifully crafted embroidered spring knife hanging from her waist.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in this humble position." Xia Houying took a few steps quickly and saluted to the eldest princess of Jinyang.
Although she was married to Jia Heng, Xia Houying still shouldered the responsibility of leading troops to protect the Princess's mansion in Jinyang.
Under the emerald willow eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, there was concern in her shining eyes, and she asked: "Where is King Wei now? The murderer has been found."
Xia Houying looked solemn, clasped her fists and said: "Reporting to Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, the guards of the Jinyi Palace have been searching for traces of the murderer throughout the city. It won't be long before the truth can be found out. King Wei did not let me and the eldest princess mention this matter before.
Everything is under the control of King Wei."
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned her emerald-green eyebrows, and said with a hint of reproach in her tone: "Why didn't you tell me before? It just made people worry."
Xia Houying asked: "Your Majesty may be afraid that the news will leak out, and I'm afraid His Highness will be worried."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said with a faint tone: "He is the only one who makes people worry now."
Now there are so many children, all relying on him, so unruly, what should we do?
Hearing this, Xia Houying gently licked her slightly pink lips, her bright eyes as bright as rainbows were as bright as water, and she was silent for a moment.
Princess Jinyang waved her slender hands and said, "That's it, that's it. I'll talk about him later when he comes back."
But at this moment, the sound of jingling rings was heard, along with the fragrant fragrance like musk and orchid. Immediately, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, they were clearly a few people dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Then, Princess Xianning, Li Chanyue, and Song Yan walked closer while they were talking and reported, "Aunt, I heard that something happened to your husband."
The worry on Princess Jinyang's face, which was as white as jade, was much lessened. She gave a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing. Lianxue said, in fact, it's not serious."
Originally, she wanted to say that it was your husband's arrangement again, but Princess Jinyang thought about it, suddenly her heart moved, and she quickly changed her mind.
Princess Xianning's emerald eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was surprised, and said: "It's so good, how could someone ambush you sir?"
Princess Jinyang's gentle and lovely face seemed to be covered with frost. She snorted softly and said, "You will know when your husband comes here."
She actually already had some vague guesses in her mind.
I'm afraid this matter is related to Xianning's younger brother. She heard Ziyu mention it before that King Yan had thoughts of rebellion.
Princess Xianning sat down with her child in her arms, her fair and clear face showing a hint of worry.
With Princess Xianning's intelligence, she also noticed something unusual.

Palace Garden, Wuying Palace——
The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive, you could hear a needle drop, and it made people breathless.
Jia Heng, dressed in a black and red satin python suit, sat on a pearwood chair in the hall, his face as calm as Xuan Shui.
Among the two rows of pearwood chairs at the bottom, the cabinet ministers, military ministers and others all had a look of surprise on their faces.
Until late in the evening, the sunset filled the sky and was as bright as fire.
At this moment, a Jinyi Mansion guard came quickly from outside, with a look of fear on his face, and said loudly: "Report to the King of Guards, the Jinyi Mansion Guards have investigated and found out that the gunpowder is from Qian, the governor of the Jingying Martial Arts Camp."
The matters were collected and delivered to Prince Yan's Mansion, where Prince Yan initiated the initiative."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the ministers in the palace suddenly changed, and they were all in an uproar.
"King Yan." Lin Ruhai frowned, her eyes were deep, she was surprised, and asked: "Zi Yu, why did King Yan want to assassinate you?"
As he said this, he suddenly realized something and looked at the young man in python suit sitting at the top in shock.
Jia Heng's face was as cold as ice, and he deliberately asked the Jinyi palace guard who made the report, "So, is the evidence for this matter considered conclusive?"
The Jinyi Mansion Guard looked solemn, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the captain and detectives of the Jinyi Mansion Guards have already investigated, and it is true that it is true."
Jia Heng's body seemed to be swaying, his fair and resolute face was as pale as paper, and he said in a sad and angry tone: "The King of Yan is my brother-in-law, why did he harm me?"
At the end of the sentence, there was even a hint of sobs in his voice.
As for the other cabinet ministers and military ministers in the palace, most of them had a hint of sadness on their faces.
It was hard for King Wei.
When King Chen Ze of Yan was deposed, King Wei had already done his best to benevolent and righteous.
In fact, this is also the reason why Jia Heng did not imprison Chen Ze at the beginning. After all, he is a bloodline of Emperor Shizong, and he is his wife's brother. If he were to imprison him directly, it would be too cynical and cold.
Not everyone was moved by King Wei's "performance". For example, Qi Kun, the chief minister of the cabinet, Shi Jie, the minister of military aircraft, and the minister of war, were already covered with a thick layer of haze at this moment.
The expression on Beijing Wang Shuirong's face surged, and he sighed and said: "Zi Yu, why is King Yan so surly?"
Other cabinet ministers, military officials and other civil servants were also filled with emotion.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Liu Jixian sent people to surround Prince Yan's Mansion and take Prince Yan to prison for interrogation! There must be no mistake!"
At this time, Liu Jixian, the commanding officer of the Jinyi Mansion who was accompanying him, responded to the order, then without saying anything else, he immediately left with fists in his hands.
In the Wuying Hall, all the cabinet military aircraft looked at each other with a bit of shock on their faces.
Is this to severely punish King Yan?
Will the situation in the DPRK, which has just calmed down, have another twists and turns?
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he stared at the cabinet ministers. His voice was a little clearer, and he said: "It's getting late, so I'll go check first."
"Farewell to the King of Wei." The cabinet and military officials said with complicated thoughts.
After Jia Heng left, the atmosphere in the entire Wuying Palace suddenly became solemn.
The king of Yan, Chen Ze, actually plotted to kill the king of Wei and longed for restoration. This was really a disaster, and there was no telling what kind of bloodshed would happen again.

Divine Capital City, Ningguo Mansion——
Qin Keqing also received the news of Jia Heng's assassination. At this moment, he, Mrs. You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were sitting in the hall, all looking worried.
Chai Dai, Yun Qin, and Tan Chun were all sitting in the hall, with worried looks on their faces.
Qin Keqing's face, as white as snow, was already full of worry, and she said softly: "How could such a good person become like this?"
Youshi gently patted Qin Keqing's slender hand, and said comfortingly: "Keqing, don't worry, he has his own destiny, and nothing will happen to him."
Qin Keqing nodded, her face still worried, and said, "That's what I say, but it makes people worried."
Third Sister You asked: "Why hasn't the boy I sent away not come back yet?"
Baochai and Daiyu also had worried looks on their faces.
Qin Keqing nodded and said softly: "Baozhu, let someone see it again."
Baozhu responded, then came out of the hall and ordered a nun to go find out about Jia Heng.
After a while, a maid came from outside, looked at Qin Keqing, and said softly: "Princess, King Wei is back."
After a while, I saw a young man in a python suit with a tall figure and a heroic appearance, walking quickly from outside. Facing the worried gazes of Qin Keqing and You's three sisters, he called out, "Ke Qing."
Qin Keqing stood up quickly, came to Jia Heng and said, "Husband, you are finally back. How is the situation outside? Who assassinated you?"
Jia Heng's face was expressionless and his expression was indifferent. He faced everyone's gaze and said, "It's King Yan."
"King Yan?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the people in the hall suddenly changed.
Everyone present knew the name of King Yan Chen Ze. He was the biological brother of Princess Xianning. Why would he assassinate their prince?
No, King Yan is a deposed emperor, so he has a grudge against their master.
When Qin Keqing heard this, her jade face as white as snow seemed to change suddenly, and she asked: "Husband, why does King Yan want to assassinate you?"
Second Sister You and Third Sister You also cast worried glances, and there seemed to be a hint of worry on their bright and beautiful faces.
Prince Yan is the younger brother of Princess Xianning. Now he is involved in such a major rebellion. How should the prince deal with it without hurting the relationship between the couple?
Jia Heng could see the coldness surging in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The King of Yan was once proclaimed emperor by his rebellious minister Li Zan. He was dissatisfied that he was deposed, so he wanted to take revenge. This was clearly an attempt to cause rebellion and harm to the country.
.”
While Jia Heng was speaking, he picked up a cup of steaming tea and took a sip, thinking about how to tell Xianning.
If King Chen Ze of Yan is given death, will the people in Xianning be angry with him?
As for Concubine Duanrong, he didn't really care.
Third Sister You was already very angry: "King Yan Chen Ze should have imprisoned people earlier to prevent him from causing trouble outside."
Youshi was at the side. Although he did not speak, his eyes looking at Jia Heng were full of concern.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the hall, asking: "Brother Heng, are you back?"
After a while, I saw a beauty with pink and phoenix eyes and an unexplained beauty coming from outside. It was none other than Sister Feng.
Sister Feng's beautiful and bright face was full of smiles. Under her emerald willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were soft and slightly soft, and she said: "Brother Heng, you are going to scare me to death."
Now Jia Heng can be said to be not only the pillar of the Han Dynasty, but also the pillar of the East and West mansions, and nothing can go wrong at all.
Jia Heng nodded, with deep eyes, and said, "Sister-in-law Feng."
Sister Feng's bright and bright face showed a trace of concern about seeing her husband, and she said: "Brother Heng, the old lady is worried about something, and she asked Brother Heng to come over."
After Jia's mother learned the news of Jia Heng's assassination, she was also very worried.
There is a saying that when the moon is full, it will be short, and when the water is full, it will overflow.
Nowadays, the Jia family is already burning with raging fire and blooming with flowers. With the wisdom of Jia's mother who has lived for so many years, she is also worried about prosperity and decline.
And now the backbone of the entire Jia family is Jia Heng.
Jia Heng said: "I'll go over and see the old lady later."
While talking, he stood up and followed the mandarin ducks towards the outside.
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall——
Jia Mu sat on a pearwood chair, her old and fair face covered with worry.
On the pearwood chairs at the bottom, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were both sitting on the pearwood chairs, with mostly worried looks on their faces.
Mother Jia said softly: "Yuanyang, send someone to urge you to see if Brother Heng is back."
Yuanyang, who was on the other side of the carriage, responded softly and said: "Old lady, I sent someone over again."
Jia's mother said in a worried tone: "Brother Heng is the backbone of our family now, so we must not make any mistakes."
At this moment, a nanny wearing silk and satin entered the Rongqing Hall, her eyes were deep and she said warmly: "Old lady, King Wei is here."
While he was talking, he saw the young man in python clothes walking quickly from outside. His face was as dark as water, and he had a majestic and awe-inspiring aura as he walked.
"I've met the old lady." Jia Heng's face paused slightly, he bowed to Jia's mother, his eyes were deep, and he cupped his hands and said.
"Brother Heng, are you okay?" Mother Jia asked with a broad smile on her kind face.
Jia Heng looked calm and disapproving, and said: "Thanks to the old lady, everything is fine with me and there is no serious problem."
Jia Mu asked anxiously: "Brother Heng, what is going on?"
Jia Heng said: "This is King Yan, King Yan Chen Ze. King Yan colluded with the generals in the capital and wanted to assassinate me. Now he has been captured by the guards of Jinyi Mansion."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of everyone in Rongqing Hall suddenly changed.
Fortunately, the so-called assassination of King Wei was just a false alarm.
Jia Mu said: "King Yan, how could he do such a thing?"
Jia Heng's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Greed is not enough, and desires are hard to satisfy! Back then, Chen Ze was established as a false emperor. He only stole the throne for a period of time, and then he had some inappropriate thoughts. It is really unreasonable!"
With a hint of sadness in her tone, Jia's mother said: "But after all, he is Princess Xianning's younger brother, Brother Heng. This matter is difficult to handle."
Jia Heng looked calm and said: "Old lady, I also know, but the matter has reached this point, and it will be useless to talk more."
At this moment, Sister Feng, who came with Jia Heng, had a look of shame and annoyance on her face, and said coldly: "Old lady, this person is going to take Brother Heng's life. How can Brother Heng tolerate it?"
After hearing this, Jia Mu sighed quietly.
This is a battle of life and death, and it cannot be allowed to continue.
Jia Heng said: "Old lady, this matter is not only about my life, but also about the lives of many people in Ningrong and Ningrong. Some bottom lines are really insurmountable."
Hearing this, Jia Mu was shocked and said, "Brother Heng, just be aware of what's going on."
Now, Jia Heng is the patriarch of the Jia clan, and his own safety is not only related to himself, but also to the wealth and prosperity of the entire Ningrong and Rong mansions.
Jia Mu thought for a while and then asked: "Brother Heng, what did the Queen Mother in the palace say?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "However, old lady, don't worry too much. Now I have all the troops and horses in the entire Shenjing City, and the Ningrong and Ningfus are as safe as a rock."
Jia Mu nodded and felt calm.
Sister Feng took over the conversation and said: "Don't worry, old lady. With Brother Heng here, the wind and rain outside will not touch our Jia family."

Shenjing City, Prince Yan’s Mansion
This is a vast and majestic mansion, and two vermilion lanterns are hung clearly on the vermilion-beamed porch, which illuminates circles of orange halo on the clear jade steps, which makes people feel shocked.
.
Immediately, a large number of Jinyi palace guards wearing embroidered python uniforms were seen coming quickly, accompanied by the sound of people roaring and horses neighing. Then, groups of Jinyi palace guards were like wolves and tigers, surrounding Prince Yan's palace.
The guard in front of Prince Yan's Mansion looked pale, stretched out his hand to hold a Yan Ling knife at his waist, walked closer, gave a deep shout, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Although the King of Yan was the deposed emperor and the imperial court took precautions, it still gave fifty guards to maintain the ceremonial guard as a means of "treating the clan well".
Of course, Jia Heng was hoping that King Yan would really come up with some great ideas, and then just take advantage of King Yan to wipe out all the resistance forces in the court.
Godly City, in the Palace of Prince Yan——
King Yan Chen Ze, accompanied by Princess Xu, was absentmindedly eating his food, and there was a hint of worry on his gloomy face that resembled the carvings of Emperor Chongping.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of what's going on outside?" Mrs. Xu said cautiously.
King Yan Chen Ze said: "Princess, there is no need to worry. I have already sent someone to inform my sister. There should be news in the next two days."
Mrs. Xu looked solemn, looked at the frowning Chen Ze, and asked, "Why is Your Highness worried?"
At this moment, a burly military attaché came quickly, with a look of fear on his bearded face, and with a hint of panic in his voice, he said: "Your Highness, everything is going on outside.
Jinyi Mansion Guards."
As King Yan Chen Ze spoke, his face changed, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.
Xu's face also changed suddenly. Under the willow-shaped eyebrows, her cold and beautiful eyes were full of worry.
King Yan Chen Ze's face was slumped, his eyes were dull and desperate, and he looked at Xu on the side, and said: "Princess, trouble is coming!"
Xu's fragrant skin and fragrant skin were clearly as pale as paper at this moment, and her slender hands as tender as white bamboo shoots couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her palm.
King Yan Chen Ze's heart also sank to the bottom of the valley, and his eyes were full of worry.
Not long after, the sound of shouts and shouts came from the palace, and Chen Ze and Xu's expressions suddenly changed, feeling that an ominous aura was quickly approaching.
Immediately, a burst of chaotic footsteps could be heard in the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of clashing swords, and then, a large number of tall and round-robed palace guards poured into the hall.
The King of Yan, Chen Ze, stood up. Under his slanting sword eyebrows, he looked around with clear and sharp eyes like a rainbow, and said: "I am the King of Yan, and I am of the blood of the late emperor. How can you dare to make a mistake?"
"Where is Qu Lang now? Why didn't you come to see me?" King Yan Chen Ze said loudly as he shouted.
When the guards of the Jinyi Mansion outside heard this, their faces were expressionless.
Among them, the leader of the Jinyi Mansion, the general, snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "King Yan, you colluded with the generals of the Beijing camp to murder the auxiliary king, which is tantamount to conspiracy, so you might as well come with us."
When Chen Ze heard this, he felt a sense of sadness and anger rising silently in his heart.
He is the direct bloodline of the current deposed emperor, Emperor Sejongxian, how can he endure such humiliation?
The Jinyi palace guard couldn't help but wink at the warriors on the side. Then, the two warriors stepped forward quickly, crossed Chen Ze's arms, and walked quickly outside.
Chen Ze's neck was stiff, his face was full of pride and determination, and he shouted: "I can walk alone, I don't need help from anyone!"
With that said, Chen Ze said no more and walked towards the distance.
Mrs. Xu stared intently, her eyes full of reluctance.
On Chen Ze's side, he was escorted by the guards of Jinyi Mansion towards the imperial prison of Jinyi Mansion.
The guards of Jinyi Mansion completely blocked Prince Yan's Mansion, and the soldiers held long halberds and surrounded Prince Yan's Mansion to "protect" it.
Suddenly, the guards outside Prince Yan's Mansion were on three levels inside and three on the outside. They were almost airtight and not even a fly could fly into the mansion.
