Chapter 548: Within Her Expectations
"There are at least two groups of people trying to take advantage of the situation."
When Zhuifeng said this, Jiang Hao showed an expression of "I see".
"County Lady, have you known this for a long time?"
Jiang Hao shook his head upon hearing this: "I'm not a god, how can I know this already? I just...had some guesses about this a long time ago."
The emperor has more than just the deposed crown prince and the crown prince. He has many sons. There are several princes who have been crowned kings when they reached adulthood, and there are also some who have not yet reached adulthood, including the eighteenth prince who is only a year old.
Among these people, is it possible that except for the deposed crown prince and the crown prince, none of them have any interest in the throne?
The open and secret struggles between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei and the King of Qi were almost singled out by the Emperor, so, when the Crown Prince fell, these two wanted to gain some benefits and got involved, so there were at least two groups of people.
If there were other concubines of higher rank or princes of more noble status who also coveted the throne, it is possible that they would not have similar thoughts and become involved.
Therefore, Jiang Hao was not very surprised by Zhuifeng's words.
"In that case, how can we find out which mansions they are from?"
Zhuifeng found out that there were at least two groups of people and rushed to find Jiang Hao, but he had not yet investigated which mansion these people came from.
But there are only a few princes who covet the throne, so it is difficult to escape from it.
"It's not completely confirmed yet, but with a confirmed direction to look for, it shouldn't be difficult."
However, Jiang Hao didn't want to wait for him to continue investigating. Once the situation in Kyoto City was reported to the palace, the people planted by Xu Xing would be in danger.
"Withdraw your people immediately."
"what?"
"has a problem?"
Zhuifeng shook his head quickly: "No, it's just..."
The more he spoke, the more he realized his problem. He immediately swallowed his unfinished words and said, "I'll do it right away."
Fortunately, Jiang Hao gave the order in time. Just as Zhuifeng had withdrawn their people, the left and right guards of the imperial army personally led the troops to arrest people. This shows the emperor's attention and anger towards these rumors.
Zhuifeng felt a little scared. He didn't dare to think about whether the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion would be implicated if their people were caught.
In the past two days, he has been hesitant and dragging his feet in doing things, and his condition is really not very good.
After returning to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, he received ten lashes himself before going to the study to apologize to Xu Xing.
Xu Xing was quite satisfied with his attitude of admitting his mistakes, so he did not punish him any further. He then got down to business: "If you have nothing else to do, go to the other courtyard and keep an eye on Zhang Zhongjing. Don't let him get killed."
"Yes."
After Zhuifeng received the order, he thought for a moment and said, "I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it or not."
Xu Xing did not refuse and motioned him to continue.
"Master, that Su guy knows that it was the county lady who kidnapped him. Did you avoid him on purpose? What if he drags you out when he meets the emperor? At that time, our Duke's Mansion..."
Even though Zhuifeng didn't finish his words, Xu Xing understood them.
The Duke of Wei's Mansion had a close relationship with Consort Shu and the Seventh Prince. Because of Jiang Hao's relationship, they helped secretly, and Consort Shu couldn't get angry when she knew about it. However, if it was exposed, the nature of the matter would be different.
Especially since Xu Zhao has already received a reply, Yan Heng was someone that was arranged by Concubine Shu to be stationed in the residence of the Seventh Prince.
The old lady also got a definite answer from Concubine Shu. The Crown Prince was critically ill, the Seventh Prince had reached adulthood, and Concubine Shu was now the highest-ranking official in the harem, so she...
However, Xu Xing was not afraid of these. After all, when Su Xun met the emperor, a major reshuffle had already begun in the court. The emperor was furious with the prince's actions and would not care about such trivial matters at all.
By that time, when the deposed crown prince's injustice is overturned, he can be considered a meritorious official...
