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

Xiang Hongxuan paused slightly after hearing this.

Then he took Shen Jinyao and Shen Leyao to find Murong Wencheng.

Murong Wencheng was staying in the mourning hall.

Except for the eldest princess and the seventh prince who returned home, everyone else was still in the palace.

Murong Wencheng saw his personal bodyguard coming over. He glanced at Murong Wenyi and then walked out the door.

Not long after, Murong Wenyi also got up and went out.

But neither of them noticed that the Third Prince saw everything they did.

Murong Wencheng was led by the guards to find the carriage in their mansion.

This carriage is the one that Shen Jinyao and others used to enter the palace.

When Murong Wencheng lifted the curtain of the carriage, the person who came into his sight was Shen Jinyao sitting next to Xiang Hongxuan.

He thought of Murong Wenyi's words and restrained his gaze.

He nodded and greeted everyone, then sat next to Shen Jinyao as if nothing had happened.

Xiang Hongxuan took a look and said nothing.

Sitting in the carriage were Xiang Hongxuan, Shen Jinyao, Pan Ye and Shen Leyao.

"Wait a moment, Wen Yi will be here soon."

Everyone nodded, but the expressions on everyone's faces were a little solemn.

Not long after, Murong Wenyi got on the carriage.

Murong Wencheng said, "The little prince and I can't stay out for too long. If there's anything, we need to keep it short."

Murong Wenyi nodded, "When I came out just now, Third Uncle Wang looked over here."

The others naturally knew that they could not stay here for long.

Pan Ye didn't know what had happened to Shen Jinyao and the others, so he first told them about his findings.

"I went to the imperial kitchen and looked for the recipe for the eldest prince's meal today. I also checked with the maids who served him personally, but I didn't find anything else."

"But you can take this recipe back and show it to Zhixin and Lanlan."

Everyone nodded, and they all agreed that the eldest prince's death was related to invisible internal injuries such as poisoning.

Xiang Hongxuan continued, "I infiltrated the guards' ranks. They didn't seem surprised by the eldest prince's death. I suspect the murderer is among them."

If that’s the case, then the only people who can take action are those in the royal family.

"I deliberately mentioned several members of the royal family, but the guards' reactions were still different."

"They seem to look down on the Seventh Prince and the Fifth Prince. They don't even respect the eldest prince and the youngest prince very much."

Murong Wencheng and Murong Wenyi were not surprised.

The two of them do not have a strong presence in the royal family.

Judging from what Xiang Hongxuan said, this group of guards should be more obedient to others.

For example, the eldest prince and the third prince.

Murong Wenyi noticed that Shen Jinyao's face was tense and her hair was a little messy.

"Miss Shen, what happened?"

Shen Jinyao nodded and spread out her palms.

The others naturally noticed that Shen Jinyao was a little abnormal.

She told him what had happened from beginning to end.

"Second Prince, can you recognize this piece of cloth?"

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, everyone else was shocked.

Especially Murong Wencheng and Murong Wenyi.

what?

The dignified Qiang princess was actually violated in the palace.

This sounds like it's not the first time this has happened.

This incident also happened on the night when the eldest prince died.

Murong Wenyi felt a little uncomfortable.

He thought of how good the eldest princess had been to him and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He asked Shen Jinyao nervously, "Is the eldest princess okay?"

Shen Jinyao said truthfully, "She's fine. She threatened me not to mention this to anyone else. Then she left with her maid as if nothing had happened."

Murong Wencheng picked up the cloth in Shen Jinyao's hand.

This kind of fabric is very gorgeous at first glance.

Combined with Shen Jinyao's description of the man just now, he had a rough answer in his mind.

But he was not sure!

This incident had a huge impact on him.

"Miss Shen, I want to ask, do you remember the approximate time?"

Shen Jinyao didn't remember it, but Shen Leyao remembered it clearly.

"We arrived at what happened within an hour."

Murong Wencheng's expression also became serious.

Shen Jinyao naturally saw Murong Wencheng's hesitation.

"Second Prince, the human heart is unpredictable. No one is necessarily good. You recognize this piece of cloth, don't you?"

Murong Wencheng thought for a moment and said, "This piece of cloth must belong to the prince."

Among the Qiang people, the clothes of the prince are different from those of the princes.

Patterns like this are more like what princes can wear.

"The Fifth Prince is a bit fatter, the Seventh Prince is a bit thinner, and only the Third Prince..."

"Third Prince? Impossible!"

Murong Wenyi couldn't help but shout out.

He had suspected the Fifth Prince, and even the Seventh Prince, but he had never suspected the Third Prince.

Although Doctor Gao's tips warned them to be wary of the Third Prince, Murong Wenyi was always skeptical.

Even though I knew that the Third Prince was ambitious, I never thought that he would violate the eldest princess!

The eldest princess and the third prince, this is something no one could have imagined!

Shen Jinyao could see Murong Wenyi's sadness. After all, she had heard that when Murong Wenyi was young, the eldest princess cared about him the most.

"We don't have conclusive evidence right now. It's possible someone deliberately wore the Third Prince's clothes."

Murong Wenyi seemed to have found a reason and nodded seriously.

Murong Wencheng didn't think so.

"If he really wants to put the blame on the Third Prince, then what is his intention?"

"Miss Shen also said that after this incident, the princess was not very panicked and even didn't let her make it public."

"Could it be that that person has been pretending to be the Third Prince to get close to the Princess?"

This assumption is definitely not true.

Besides, what exactly is this person's purpose?

However, if this person is really the Third Prince, then why would he treat the eldest princess like this?

Uncle and his own niece, it’s shocking to think about it.

The key point is that such an incestuous relationship also occurred within the royal family of the Qiang people.

"Besides, if there really is something going on between the two of them, what does that have to do with the eldest prince's death?"

Now, whether it is the death of the eldest prince or the offense of the eldest princess, all of them are pointed at the third prince.

Shen Jinyao said seriously, "I can be absolutely sure that the eldest princess was forced!"

Her panic didn't seem fake.

But as to why he acted so nonchalant afterwards, Shen Jinyao thought he probably had some unspeakable secret.

Murong Wencheng saw Shen Jinyao's protection for Murong Wenjing, and this true love was really moving.

After all, in the royal family, their relationship is not as good as that of Shen Jinyao, a stranger.

"It's getting late, let's go back. Second Prince, you go back and keep an eye on the Third Prince. We'll go back and prepare to go to the Third Prince's mansion."

Xiang Hongxuan's voice interrupted Murong Wencheng's thoughts.

Will this trip to the Third Prince’s Mansion be successful?

"Oh no, oh no, there's a fire in the Third Prince's mansion!"
