The mastermind behind the assassination of the Seventh Prince was not Sheng Xuan, but the Fourth Prince. Sheng Xuan took the blame for the Fourth Prince, and was killed with a stick by the furious Emperor.
The guards were guarding outside the study, separated by a door panel.
Although Lu Chi was frightened and angry, he still did not forget to be patient and restrained, lowering his voice: "Are you crazy? How can you say such nonsense! Even if there are some unspeakable inside stories about this matter, it is not your place to say."
Li Xiangru married into the fourth prince's house. The Li family is the fourth prince's in-law family. Li Mo is the fourth prince's serious brother-in-law... Even if there is something wrong with the fourth prince, Li Mo should not speculate randomly to avoid falling into the fourth prince's trap.
In the prince's ears, there was a estrangement between them.
"I shouldn't have said that." Li Mo's face was expressionless, and there was endless anger in his voice: "I should just pretend that I didn't think of anything, and don't ask anything. I should just pretend that I'm a fool and don't know anything.
right!"
"It's a pity that there is no shortage of smart people in the world. Even if I don't tell you, there are still many people who can guess the truth."
"The fourth prince is so cruel and ruthless that he can do this to his own brother. When the incident was exposed, he pushed his right and left arm to take the blame..."
Lu Chi suddenly grabbed Li Mo's arm: "Stop talking!"
Lu Chi tried his best, but Li Mo's arm ached, but it didn't stop him from continuing to finish his sentence: "... Sheng Xuan ended up like this because of his ruthlessness. But look, Sheng Xuan
Even after he died, he didn't even come to Huainan Prince's Mansion. I, Li Mo, really can't stand such a brother-in-law."
Li Mo was so filled with depression that he could hardly suppress it. His speaking speed was getting faster and faster, and his volume was getting louder and louder. In the end, he didn't even care whether the guards outside the door would hear a single word.
Lu Chi: "..."
Lu Chi could see Li Mo's anger and pain.
Lu Chi naturally thought of everything he could think of. However, Lu Chi didn't want to believe that his friend was such a cold and heartless person.
Lu Chi took a deep breath: "Don't rush to a conclusion yet. After Sheng Xuan is buried, you and I will go to see the fourth prince together and ask the matter clearly."
He also felt like there was something stuck in his throat.
Just as Li Mo was about to say something, the study door was suddenly pushed open.
Both of them were startled and turned their heads to look over reflexively.
…
Against the light, he couldn't see clearly the face of the person for a moment. Only when the tall and slender figure approached, Lu Chi and Li Mo could see clearly who this person was.
The person who came is not the fourth prince.
But the fifth prince.
The two of them really didn't expect that the fifth prince would come.
When the fifth prince saw them, he was not surprised at all: "I had guessed that you two would come to see Sheng Xuan off for the last time."
Speaking of which, the third and fifth princes are also classmates with them. In terms of relationship, they are certainly not as close as they are to the fourth prince. They are very familiar with each other and are not unfamiliar with each other.
Li Mo's heart was full of grief and anger, and he had no intention of speaking.
Lu Chi cheered up and responded, "We didn't expect His Highness to come."
The fifth prince reacted very quickly: "Do you think the four emperor brothers will come?"
Lu Chi and Li Mo were silent together.
The fifth prince's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Sheng Xuan hid the truth from the fourth emperor brother and planned to assassinate the seventh emperor brother. The fourth emperor brother was deceived and conducted a thorough investigation at the Ministry of War for a month, but what was found was not the real murderer. He made a fool of himself in front of his father.
Embarrassed, and extremely angry in my heart. Sheng Xuan was killed with a stick, and the fourth emperor brother also lost all face and dignity. With his temperament, he is not willing to step into the Huainan Prince's Palace again."
These words are profound.
It's too late for the fourth prince to sever ties with the Huainan Palace, so how could he come to see Sheng Xuan on his last journey?
Lu Chi felt a chill in his heart.
Anger and dissatisfaction flashed in Li Mo's eyes, his lips moved, but he remained silent.
No matter how dissatisfied he was with the fourth prince, he couldn't speak out in front of the fifth prince.
The fifth prince obviously knew what he was saying, and what he said was meant to be provocative. Seeing that Lu Chi and Li Mo looked ugly, they stopped talking. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Brothers Two and Three will be here in a moment. However,
, the seventh emperor brother will not come today."
The seventh prince and his wife had long been mortal enemies with the Huainan Palace. Even if the fourth prince was the mastermind behind the scenes, there was no doubt that the person who did it was Sheng Xuan. From this point of view, Sheng Xuan's death was not unfair at all.
Sheng Hong will never come to Huainan Palace.
When Li Mo heard the name of the Seventh Prince, a handsome young face quickly flashed in his mind, and for a moment, he felt mixed emotions.
After a while, the second prince and the third prince came hand in hand.
The Prince of Huainan was so grieved that he had to work up his energy to come. However, as soon as he glanced at his son's body, his heart ached like tears and he couldn't utter a single word.
Half an hour later.
The princes left the Huainan Palace, and Lu Chi and Li Mo also left with heavy steps.
The beautifully decorated corpse will be buried tonight.
"Let's go back first!" Lu Chi cheered up and whispered.
Li Mo said: "I want to go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion."
Lu Chi: "..."
Lu Chi glared at him: "What are you going to do? Do you still want to question His Highness the Fourth Prince in person?"
Li Mo would never admit that he really had this plan, and said expressionlessly: "My sister has always been timid, and she must have been frightened in the palace today. I can't worry about it, so I went to take a look at her."
A trace of helplessness and anger flashed in Lu Chi's eyes: "You still say such nonsense in front of me! That's it! If you insist on going, I will go with you."
With Li Mo's temper, it would be strange not to cause a scene when facing the Fourth Prince under such circumstances!
…
The sky became dark.
The Seventh Prince's Mansion was also full of visitors.
Gu Shanchang was the first to rush to the Seventh Prince's Mansion as soon as he received the news.
After confirming that Xie Mingxi was safe and sound, with not even a hair missing, Gu Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sheng Hong: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Look at the obvious difference in treatment!
Sheng Hong sighed: "Except for being a little hurt, everything else is fine."
Gu Shanchang was amused: "It's really good to be in the mood to talk nonsense."
Gu Shanchang had a clear distinction between love and hate. The Huainan Palace was Xie Mingxi's mortal enemy. Sheng Xuan was so bold that he secretly plotted to assassinate Sheng Hong. Such a person would die without pity and there is no need to lament.
However, after this incident, the seventh prince also completely became enmity with the fourth prince, and there was no possibility of reconciliation.
Gu Shanchang pondered for a moment and whispered: "Your Highness, you must be more careful when entering and leaving in the future."
Lest the fourth prince get angry and fight to the death.
Sheng Hong nodded solemnly.
The Fourth Prince has been in business for many years, and the power hidden in the dark cannot be underestimated.
Xie Mingxi said softly: "Master, don't worry, we have already taken precautions and will never be careless."
The second person to come to the Seventh Prince's Mansion was Lin Weiwei. The third person was Fang Ruomeng.
Soon, Chen Zhan, Qin Sihun and his wife also arrived, along with Zhao Qi and Yan Zhenzhen.
