After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Murong Wenyi quickly opened the door.

"What happened?"

"The eldest prince..."

"The eldest prince...is dead."

died?

Who moved the hand?

Why did someone else take action before he even started?

Murong Wencheng looked very ugly.

"Let's go check and see who the eldest prince has been in contact with these days."

"Yes!"

Murong Wencheng asked someone to call Murong Wenyi back.

He also sent someone to deliver a message to Xiang Hongxuan.

This was the decision they discussed together in the evening.

If something happened urgently and they couldn't meet immediately, Xiang Hongxuan and Murong Wencheng would each designate someone to deliver messages to both parties.

He sat at his desk and tried to calm himself down.

These days, news from the palace is delivered every day.

Ever since the eldest prince returned to the Qiang tribe.

The whole person seemed to collapse.

In addition, he was eager to hold the coronation ceremony and did not care about his own health at all.

He even met with ministers every day.

Either they are discussing this or that.

By this calculation, there are quite a lot of people who come into contact with the eldest prince every day.

Among the eldest prince's close associates, several are his people.

But you can’t say for sure if there are other people there.

After much thought, he listed the suspects.

People from the royal family, several princes.

There are three important ministers.

There are two other close confidants around him.

He wrote them down one by one and crossed them out one by one.

Finally, only the third prince and the seventh prince were left.

As for those ministers and confidants, they have no power of their own and it is impossible for them to seize power directly.

Is there really something wrong with the Third Prince?

As for the fifth prince who was sent out, he was the one who supported the eldest prince the most among all the uncles.

Is it the Third Prince or the Seventh Prince?

This means that somewhere he doesn't know, there is someone who wants this position more.

He frowned and fell into deep thought.

Before Murong Wenyi had gone far, he was called back.

Before he even entered the house, he heard people around him telling him what had happened.

"Second brother..."

"Pack up, we'll probably have to go into the palace soon."

The incident happened too suddenly, and in the end the eldest prince's zombie was dealt with by the fifth prince.

When Xiang Hongxuan received the news, Murong Wenyi and Murong Wencheng had already entered the palace.

It was not until breakfast time that Shen Jinyao and others learned that the eldest prince had died.

Shen Jinyao couldn't help but mutter to herself, "It seems I'm still a step too late."

At that time, she wanted the second prince to act quickly because she was worried about other forces.

After all, the throne is here.

It’s hard to say, only the second prince wants it.

Ever since she got to know the Qiang royal family, she felt that there must be even greater enemies here.

But since they have already boarded the Second Prince's ship, they can only respond to his moves as they come.

"Who could have done this?"

Everyone at the dinner table was also thinking about this question.

Xiang Hongxuan said, "It's most likely done by a few princes."

Pan Ye said, "Besides the prince, there are also princes."

Shen Jinyao shook her head. "Now the only ones left in the Qiang tribe are the Second Prince and the Little Prince. They are already tied together."

Shen Leyao said dissatisfiedly, "Why can it only be a prince and not a princess?"

After she finished speaking, she saw that everyone was staring at her.

She subconsciously wondered if she had said something wrong.

She glanced at Shen Jinyao secretly.

I saw the elder sister’s expression that showed she was right.

She puffed out her chest and continued, "What's wrong? Isn't the princess also a human being? Didn't Murong Wenyi tell us that Doctor Gao told us to be wary of the eldest princess?"

Shen Jinyao looked at Shen Leyao with appreciation and said with a smile, "I think we should really think seriously about what Leyao said."

"It is said that the eldest princess is unmarried and is likely to have ambitions for power."

Shen Leyao nodded heavily, "That's right."

If it had happened before, Xiang Hongxuan would definitely not agree with them.

But considering a woman like Shen Jinyao, it is not impossible.

Naturally, the other people at the table also thought of this.

Shen Zhizheng pondered for a moment and said, "Jinmao City is definitely in the most chaotic period right now, but I probably can't spare the time to deal with the things the Second Prince mentioned."

"We can't keep waiting."

The rest of the crowd nodded.

Shen Jinyao looked at Pan Ye.

Pan Ye naturally saw what Shen Jinyao saw.

"how?"

"Aren't you the best at investigating cases?"

When Pan Ye heard Shen Jinyao's words, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"We can only start investigating from the royal family. We can't find anything from outside right now."

"Then shall we go into the palace?"

Shen Jinyao's proposal was indeed a bit crazy.

But they can put on makeup and disguise themselves, and they can last a day.

If you really want to go, you must have the help of the second prince.

It's impossible for all of them to go.

Someone must be kept at home, not to mention that Shen Zhixin and others don’t know kung fu.

Finally, Xiang Hongxuan decided to let Shen Zhiyong stay at home to protect Shen Zhizheng, Shen Zhixin, and Lanlan.

Xiang Hongxuan brought Shen Jinyao, Pan Ye, and Shen Leyao into the palace.

The second prince arranged identities for them.

Just treat them as servants in the Second Prince's Mansion.

The eldest prince's funeral will last for seven days.

The eldest prince's children are still young, so the second prince and the youngest prince naturally have to play the role of "brotherly love and respect".

The Fifth Prince was in charge of the entire process, and the two of them could not leave.

So they couldn't go home the whole time.

But you can ask your family to send things over.

Originally, there were many rules in the royal family.

When the king passed away before, the princes paid great attention to etiquette.

But now that the eldest prince who was most likely to ascend the throne has passed away, it is difficult to avoid chaos.

The servants in the palace always serve different people according to their status. Now that no one knows who is the master in the palace, things are naturally even more chaotic.

The palace servants would naturally turn a blind eye to such small requests from the second prince and the little prince.

Pan Ye gave instructions to everyone when he entered the palace.

"Miss Shen and Le Yao will go to the female palace maids, mainly to find out who had contact with the eldest prince yesterday."

"I'll go to the imperial kitchen and take a look."

"As for you..."

Pan Ye looked at Xiang Hongxuan.

Even with makeup on, this person is still quite conspicuous.

I don’t know what this guy ate since he was a child, but he is as big and strong as a pillar.

"Find a place to check it yourself."

Xiang Hongxuan didn't say anything, but raised his chin, indicating that he was listening.

Xiang Hongxuan, "If there is any danger, be sure to find the Second Prince."

Although he was not willing to look for him, this was the royal family of the Qiang people, so he had to be careful about everything.

They also knew that the second prince had arranged people to investigate, but they still wanted to help.

After all, they don't have much time left.

Shen Jinyao and Shen Leyao had just taken a few steps when they saw a woman walking slowly towards them.

This woman was followed by several palace maids.

Shen Jinyao suddenly had an idea. Could this be the eldest princess?
