Mu Yun'an knew that Xiao Chengyi must be feeling guilty and blaming herself for not protecting Chu Chu well, but how could she not be the same?
She sniffed and asked, "Has Yan Jingxuan left?"
Anping said: "He has already left. The prince said that he would come to plead guilty to the prince after he has avenged Miss Chu Chu."
Mu Yun'an didn't know who was responsible for the assassination last night? Xiao Chengyi didn't tell her either. She originally suspected that it was His Majesty's arrangement, but she heard that the assassin last night was targeting Yan Jingxuan.
But she was not in the mood to think about this at the moment. She lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice: "Go and do your work. I will stay with him for a while."
Anping bowed to Mu Yun'an before turning around and retreating, leaving Mu Yun'an standing alone in the empty yard, surrounded by a sad atmosphere.
...
After Yan Jingxuan left the General's Mansion, he went to Prince Jing's Mansion.
King Jing was originally going to leave Beijing today, but he was banned by His Majesty last night. After learning the reason for his ban, he felt sad.
People in the mansion were even more panic-stricken. Yuan Shuolin thought that what was waiting for him would be a summons from His Majesty, but he didn't expect that it would be Yan Jingxuan.
Looking at Yan Jingxuan's pale and bloodless face, he frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
Yan Jingxuan placed the token with the word "respect" on the table and said, "This is what the assassin left behind last night."
Yuan Shuo raised his brows and picked up the token, looked at it and said, "It's my token to respect the prince's palace, so even you suspect that it's me?"
Yan Jingxuan sat down on the chair and said: "The wine I drank last night was poisoned, which means that the servants in my house were bribed.
The assassin broke into my room easily. I originally thought that the man was going for Chu Chu, but his target was me. If Chu Chu hadn't blocked the sword for me, I would have been the one who died.
In fact, I wish it was me who died instead of injuring an innocent girl.
I believe that your cousin’s assassination has nothing to do with you. This is an obvious accusation, but I can’t figure out who it could be?”
Now that Yuan Qingrui has been deposed, and the eldest princess of the Han family who knew his identity is also dead, who else wants his life?
Yuan Shuolin raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Miss Chu Chu is dead?"
Yan Jingxuan remained silent, his body full of sadness.
Yuan Shuolin was stunned. He looked at Yan Jingxuan and said, "You like Miss Chu Chu, don't you?"
Yan Jingxuan clenched his hands, with a strong murderous look in his eyes: "So what, she is gone. I will never see her again. Now I just want to find the murderer to avenge her! No matter who it is, I will let him
Blood debts must be paid with blood.”
Yuan Shuolin asked: "Father should have told you about your life experience, right?
Then have you ever thought about it, if the assassin succeeded in the assassination last night and left my token of respect for the prince's palace at the scene of the crime, who would be the final beneficiary?"
Yan Jingxuan's eyebrows moved, and a light flashed in his mind.
He was deeply shocked by Chu Chu's death and had not figured out the whole thing. Now when he heard Yuan Shuolin mention this hypothesis, he suddenly woke up.
Xiao Chengyi said that Yuan Hao valued him because he was the only adult among all Yuan Hao's illegitimate children outside the palace.
If the assassination was successful last night and he died, His Majesty would be so furious and see the quick token in Prince Jing's Mansion that he would definitely suspect that Prince Jing was responsible.
In this case, King Jing will undoubtedly die.
If he and King Jing both die, who will be the ultimate beneficiary?
Although His Majesty has many illegitimate children, it is impossible for him to support a child to become a prince at his age.
So looking inside and outside the royal family, the one with the greatest chance is the deposed prince __ Yuan Qingrui who is currently imprisoned in the Nangong Palace!
But Yuan Qingrui has been imprisoned, and it is impossible for him to stretch his hand that long.
