Chapter 404: Here Comes the Proposition
He was shocked, but unfortunately he couldn't ask clearly without anyone around. He didn't tell Cao Jing just now. He didn't believe that Xiao Lingyao was dead. If the group of people who suddenly came out and disrupted the plan wanted to kill her,
Why go to the trouble of finding a stunt double?
Jumping from the cliff into the pool is very dangerous. It is very difficult to fall into the deep pool accurately. Moreover, at the same time, someone assassinated Xiao Lingzhao. The other person was very skilled in archery and looked like a professionally trained killer.
Xiao Lingyao is very likely to fall into the hands of these people. What do they want to do by capturing the most favored princess of the dynasty? Is she from the Beimo country or the Nanying country? If it is an enemy country, it can be justified.
Princess Jinhua's reputation as Emperor Yuan's favorite daughter has long been known, and it would not be difficult for enemy countries to find out more about her.
And the stand-in, except for the small tear mark on his face, is 100% similar in body shape, appearance and voice. He came prepared at first sight and had already figured out Xiao Lingyao's appearance.
In the past, it was always said that the mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole, but you will know what it means when you come to East Vietnam. Emperor Yuan is an expert in this trick. Now, such a group of people have come and used this muddy water to kill.
The former prince captured Xiao Lingyao again.
Not only that, it also made the emperor of Dongyue want to vomit blood. He lost a pair of children overnight. If the people knew about it, they would probably think that Empress Chen was the worst. The emperor had three sons, but all the children in her name were
Die!
Bang, the string in Qin Feng's mind was tightened. Could it be that killing Xiao Lingzhao was aimed at the queen and the Chen family?!
The more Qin Feng thought about it, the more reliable he felt. He quickly called Cao Jing in and told him his guess. Cao Jing was stunned and immediately said: "If there is any enmity with the Chen family and the Queen, our family will immediately send secret guards.
If we investigate, we will surely find His Highness’s whereabouts.”
Just as he was about to turn around and go out, he said again: "We would also like to ask the Prince Consort to know that your death is what His Highness wishes and will not change."
"I will enter the palace tomorrow." Qin Feng said: "Since the princess has already thought of my way out for this plan, how can I disappoint her and invite Eunuch Cao to enter the palace with me tomorrow?"
Cao Jing lowered his head and arched his hands, showing unprecedented respect. After turning around, he disappeared as fast as lightning.
That night, Qin Feng lay quietly on the large bed, going over what happened in the Imperial Temple over and over again, until he finally fell into the pool, and the reactions of Zhao Lun and Emperor Yuan finally came to light in the sky.
Get up when it's almost dawn.
As he expected, although Emperor Yuan was extremely sad, he did not immediately announce the fact that the former prince had passed away, nor did he announce the unknown life or death of Xiao Lingyao. Before dawn, the officials who learned that His Majesty had returned to the palace were as usual.
Enter the Zichen Hall to go to court.
Qin Feng and Cao Jinghou waited in the imperial study for more than an hour before they heard Eunuch Hong's sharp voice: "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort and Eunuch Cao have been waiting in the imperial study for a long time."
The two people quickly stood up and came to the door to greet Emperor Yuan. Emperor Yuan glanced at their faces, paused at the red corners of Qin Feng's eyes and the black spots under his eyes, looked away and said, "What do you want to see me for?"
Emperor Yuan, who lost his son and daughter, was obviously not in his usual mood. Qin Feng sighed, which was not concealed, and Eunuch Hong was frightened. This prince-in-law was going to rub salt into His Majesty's wounds today.
Before the cunning imperial eunuch could react, Qin Feng and Cao Jing knelt down together. Qin Feng took out a letter from his arms: "Father, when I returned to the mansion yesterday, I found that His Highness had left two letters.
Letter, this one must be presented to His Majesty."
Looking at the envelope presented by Qin Feng with both hands, Emperor Yuan's eyelids twitched and he looked at Eunuch Hong. Eunuch Hong hurriedly took it and handed it over. He took another look at it and saw that the seal was well sealed with wax and had not been touched at all.
, only then did I feel satisfied.
Qin Feng buried his head low and clenched his fists. How would he write the letter?
Emperor Yuan was a little hesitant when he opened the letter, but finally tore it open neatly. Looking at the words on the paper, if Qin Feng raised his head, he would know how wonderful it was, from the slight paleness at the beginning to the touching of his eyes, and then to the depth of his eyes.
The desolation is just a fleeting change!
Eunuch Hong's heart felt like a war drum was beating, and he didn't dare to take another glance at the letter paper!
boom!
Emperor Yuan punched the table and shouted: "Cao Jing! Do you know about Yao'er's plan? Do you know about Zhao Lun's matter?!"
Cao Jing kowtowed first, and then raised his red eyes: "His Highness is determined to die. Even we don't know about it. Please forgive me. Your Highness has had a hard time these nine years. She has suffered too much, Your Majesty!"
"Forgive me for speaking frankly. Your Majesty is doing this not only to atone for your sins, but also to seek relief. Please don't vent your anger on the young master. The young master has gone through the same hardships as your highness. Your highness can still enjoy your majesty's family affection for nine years, but the young master can only
It's hard for him to meet and not recognize each other."
Sure enough, Qin Feng's body trembled slightly. Although he understood in his heart, he still turned his head and looked at Cao Jing in surprise. His lips moved slightly and then lowered his head again. He knew that Emperor Yuan must be observing his reaction, and every movement and expression he made must be judged.
Naturally, you must exercise restraint!
"I only know that those people want to coerce His Highness and do harm to Your Majesty. Your Highness has been looking very haggard these days, and the Prince Consort has noticed it, but the Prince Consort doesn't know the underlying reason." After Cao Jing finished speaking, Qin Feng glanced at him again.
As expected of someone who has followed Xiao Lingyao for so long, and has learned a lot from her tricks, and her words are awesome!
Qin Feng knew that he could not reveal that he knew that the young master was Zhao Lun, otherwise everything would be lost and he would be regarded as an ally. It would be wise to insist that he did not know. His eyebrows were lowered, as if he was a little frustrated.
"Your Majesty, the assassins have been eliminated. Your Majesty is now in good health. Your Majesty would be very happy if he knew about it." Cao Jing's tone became more and more excited: "When your Majesty jumped off the cliff, he wanted to die with the assassin, and he also did not want to implicate your Majesty..."
He was choking up when he said this. Emperor Yuan waved his hand to stop him from talking anymore. He looked at Qin Feng and said, "Did Yao'er leave you a message? She is so devoted to you, so she won't be without a few words."
Hearing these words, Qin Qiangang broke out in a sweat. It was so dangerous, but luckily there was a letter that he could get through.
"I do have a letter written by His Highness, but I dare to ask Your Majesty to read it and return it to me for safekeeping." Qin Feng said, "I don't believe that Your Highness died. As long as the body is not found, I will not recognize it."
After saying that, Qin Feng presented the suicide note that had been publicly disclosed. Emperor Yuan's fingers trembled slightly after reading it: "She really has a death wish. She has even prepared a letter of separation for you. What do you think, Prince Consort?"
The matter of He Lishu was mentioned in the second suicide note to Qin Feng. Qin Feng only sighed leisurely after hearing this.
Qin Feng knew that this was a question, and if he couldn't answer it well, let alone receiving the emperor's favor in the future, he was afraid that he would be punished and beheaded now. He clenched his fingers, and his heart felt like running through ten thousand grass and mud horses.
