The corner of Wei Zijin's lips curled up into a slight sneer. Xiao Heng thought that he could use the Fan Yang Lu family to deal with the Zhaojun Li family, but he didn't know that doing so would only lead to endless troubles!
"So when eldest brother encountered an assassin on his way to the funeral, it was most likely the fault of the Lu family of Fan Yang!" Wei Zijin said slowly.
Although she had always thought that these were arranged by Xiao Heng, now that she knows it was not arranged by Xiao Heng, she will not lessen her hatred for Xiao Heng!
"The top priority is to tell Chang Gong about the secret collusion between the Fan Yang Lu family and the main war faction of the Northern Wei Dynasty!" Xiao Jingyao said in a deep voice. Wei Zijin nodded and was about to say something more when the old housekeeper of the palace came to report in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Princess, it's not good... Just now news came from the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost his footing and fell into the water while boating today. When he was rescued, he was no longer alive. In Shenshi, he was already... dead!"
After the old housekeeper finished speaking, Xiao Jingyao and Wei Zijin's expressions changed greatly, they almost couldn't believe the news!
After all, they were discussing political affairs with Xiao Changgong a few days ago, and now they suddenly learned that he fell into the water and died. How could they accept this fact?!
Although they hate Xiao Heng, Xiao Changgong and Xiao Heng are very different. They have a mellow temperament and a kind person. They want to deal with Xiao Heng, but they never thought of dealing with Xiao Changgong together!
"Steward, how could the prince, who is so good, suddenly lose his footing and fall into the water?" Wei Zijin suppressed the sadness in his heart and asked with a frown.
"I heard that he was drunk and accidentally fell into the water..."
Wei Zijin narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Impossible! Chang Gong has always had a good drinker, so how could he be so drunk that he slipped and fell into the water? There must be a conspiracy in this!"
When she said this, she couldn't help but feel sad when she thought that Chang Gong once invited her to have a drinking contest together, and they laughed and agreed to go to Huixian Tower to have a drinking contest after finding out the case of collusion with the main war faction of the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, they couldn't make it in the end.
Although Chang Gong is not her biological son, she has always treated him as her own son. Although he does not know that the queen mother he has always missed has been reborn in another person, he still respects and trusts her as the imperial aunt.
…
"Zijin, don't be too sad!" Xiao Jingyao could also understand the grief in Wei Zijin's heart. He patted her shoulder and advised softly: "There is indeed something fishy about this matter. Chang Gong's death was not just an accident."
!”
He persuaded in a low voice while wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Wei Zijin leaned in Xiao Jingyao's arms to calm down his emotions for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes, there must be someone behind it... No matter what, we must find out the mastermind behind it!"
"I will go to the palace immediately. You stay in the palace for the time being, waiting for my news!" Xiao Jingyao held her shoulders, looked straight into her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Once Chang Gong dies, the palace will definitely
It will be a mess, I’m afraid I’ll be back very late tonight, you don’t have to wait for me!”
"You have to be more careful..." Wei Zijin looked at him worriedly, worried that the mastermind behind the murder of the prince would take the opportunity to provoke a riot in the palace!
"I will!"
Xiao Jingyao placed a soft kiss on her face, put on his court clothes and hurried into the palace. Wei Zijin sat back outside the window again, clenching his fists unconsciously.
She finally understood why she would be woken up by nightmares even after taking a nap. Maybe Chang Gong had fallen into the water at that time...
