Jiang Jinghui died in the flames, which made everyone sigh, but no one dared to discuss it.
At the gate of the palace, all the officials remained silent and quickly left in their cars.
When the lampstand caught fire, anyone with a little bit of brain would be able to tell that something strange happened.
The person who died was the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, but the eldest prince had also climbed onto the lampstand. If they had not been rescued in time the emperor's several adult princes who had already served as servants in the court would have been wiped out.
No one dared to think further, and they strictly forbade their family members from mentioning what happened tonight.
Before Daohua could wait for Xiao Yeyang, Prince Ping led everyone out of the palace first.
"Girl Yan, I just met Yeyang. He has some errands to attend to. The palace gate will be under martial law soon, so I want you to come back with us first."
Daohua nodded, and as soon as she got on the carriage, she heard Princess Ma complaining.
"That Luo Qiong is getting more and more outrageous now. Her parents-in-law and husband haven't left yet, so she just left without saying hello."
Daohua leaned in the carriage. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong with Luo Qiong. She couldn't help but said to Wang Man'er: "After returning home, ask people to pay more attention to Chenyuan."
Wang Maner nodded in agreement.
That day, until late at night, Xiao Yeyang returned to Pingxi Hall.
The candlelight in the bedroom was still on, and Daohua was half lying on the bed with her eyes closed, holding a book in her hand.
When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he knew that Daohua was waiting for him. He quietly walked over and took the book away from her hand. Then he held Daohua's head with one hand and took out the pillow with the other.
As soon as she laid Daohua flat on the pillow, Daohua opened her sleepy almond eyes: "You're back?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Well, I'm back, go to sleep!" After saying that, he covered Daohua with a quilt, got up and went to the clean room to wash up. When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Daohua's eyes clear. Lie on the bed and wait for him.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Xiao Yeyang quickly lay down on the bed, naturally hugged Daohua, lowered his head and kissed her cheek.
Daohua pressed against Xiao Yeyang's chest: "Why did uncle Huang call you back?"
Xiao Yeyang held the rice flowers in one hand and rested his head on the other hand, looking at the top of the tent: "This year's lanterns from all over the country are in charge of the officials attached to the Jiang family. A large number of lanterns and lanterns are placed at the bottom. Phosphorus powder.¡±
"Uncle Huang has known about this a long time ago and has taken advantage of it. He wants to see what the Jiang family and the Queen Mother want to do."
"You have seen what happened tonight. The purpose of the Queen Mother and the Jiang family is to catch all the emperor's adult sons. If tonight's plan is really successful, then their next target should be the emperor's uncle."
"If something happens to the emperor's uncle, the Jiang family can support a manipulative prince to succeed him, and then continue the overwhelming power, glory and wealth of the Jiang half dynasty."
Daohua was speechless.
?????
"I went up there to protect the princes, but brother Jiang Jinghui and uncle Huang had no intention of letting them survive."
As he said that, he paused and turned to look at Daohua.
"There is indeed someone hiding in the dark tonight."
"Uncle Huang asked the frightened Jiang Jingrong. From his words, it was confirmed that it was the man who stopped Jiang Jinghui who was trying to escape from the lampstand."
"Originally, the emperor arranged for the secret guards to handle this matter. Who would have thought that before the secret guards could take action, someone else would get ahead of them. It was also because the secret guards wanted to find out the person that Jiang Jingrong escaped."
Daohua: "Who could that person be?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head.
Daohua: "Could it be someone who has a grudge against the Jiang family?"
Xiao Yeyang: "It's not impossible, butwho would have the courage to kill someone under the eyes of Uncle Huang?"
Daohua was silent for a moment: "Is it possible that the person who took action wanted to intensify the previous conflict between the Jiang family and Uncle Huang? It would be best to make both sides suffer."
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua suddenly: "Why do you think so?"
Daohua: "You said it, no one dares to kill people under the eyes of the emperor, unless there is a big enough benefit that makes people willing to risk their lives and take risks."
Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Daohua didn¡¯t disturb him, and waited for a while before telling Luo Qiong what was wrong.
??Xiao Yeyang heard that LuoThere might be someone hiding in the carriage, so he immediately got out of bed and walked to the window, summoned the secret guard, and asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Chenyuan. Thinking that Luo Qiong was from Duke Wei's palace, he also kept an eye on him.
After he returned to bed, Daohua asked again: "Will Uncle Huang take action against the Jiang family this time?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Jiang Banchao is not that easy to deal with. When the Jiang family was planning what happened tonight, they had already thought of an escape route. All the responsible officials involved in the lantern fire all committed suicide by taking poison after the incident. I was recruited I went back just to deal with this matter.¡±
Daohua frowned: "Then when will it take to deal with the Jiang family?"
Xiao Yeyang: "the real leaders of the Jiang family are the Queen Mother and Duke Cheng En. Of these two people, one is the emperor's uncle's nominal mother, and the other is the emperor's uncle. If the emperor's uncle can succeed to the throne, The Jiang family has indeed contributed, unless they make a big mistake, otherwise, Uncle Huang will not touch them."
"Although it is difficult to make a big move, it is still possible to weaken the power of the Jiang family. And now that Jiang Jinghui is dead, the Jiang family will only become more extreme than before. We are not afraid that they will not make mistakes."
Daohua lay in Xiao Yeyang's arms and said in a low voice: "In this case, Master will have to hide in Four Seasons Villa."
Xiao Yeyang patted Daohua on the back: "It won't be long. Uncle Huang may not have planned to kill the Jiang family before, but once this incident comes out, Uncle Huang will no longer hold back. "
"Um!"
?¡
Because of what happened on the night of the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere in the court was a bit depressed throughout the first month. Officials who had argued endlessly in the past all acted calmly when they went to court.
The emperor used Jiang Jinghui's death as an excuse to directly exempt Duke Cheng'en and Jiang Shizi from errands, allowing them to attend the funeral at home.
White flags were hung in Duke Cheng'en's mansion. Duke Cheng'en suddenly aged more than ten years, and his back became more and more hunched. Prince Jiang's eyes were full of violence. Anyone who looked at him could not help but tremble in their hearts.
Mrs. Chiang could not afford to be ill because of her son's death, so Mrs. Chiang could only come forward to receive the female family members who came to pay their respects.
Prince Ping also came with people from the palace, but neither Daohua nor Xiao Yeyang came with him.
Prince Ping was originally feeling embarrassed about this, but when he arrived at Duke Chengen's Mansion, Prince Jiang actually looked at him as if he were an enemy. Prince Ping suddenly felt uncomfortable, thinking about Prince Jiang's loss of his son. He got angry, but sat there for a while, then left with a sullen expression.
Pingxi Hall.
Because spring is about to begin, Daohua is busy with spring plowing. The cotton seeds and corn seeds obtained last year have been cultivated in a batch of seeds in space. She is ready to start trial planting in Zhuangzi.
Xiao Yeyang was also busy. Although the Jiang family had dealt with the Lantern Festival lampstand fire very cleanly, it would leave clues when it was done. For this reason, he caught several officials of the Jiang family and one party.
However, the person who attacked Jiang Jinghui that night has never been found.
During this period, Xiao Yeyang had been sending people to keep an eye on Luo Qiong and Duke Wei. Unfortunately, there was nothing unusual on either side, which made him and Daohua think they had made a mistake. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
