Chapter 447 Something Happened

"My royal brother would not lie to you. It was Jiang Nanjiao who found out that our mother had been murdered and then set the fire. The person who killed our mother is still hiding in the palace." Zhan Qingheng said solemnly.

His father gave him a month.

He wanted to find out who killed his mother.

"Did she say that on purpose?" Zhan Yao still didn't want to believe Jiang Nanjiao. After all, they had fought so fiercely before.

"I believe her." Zhan Qingheng said firmly with clear eyes.

"Royal brother..." Zhan Yao looked at him in surprise. After just a few days of not seeing him, she felt like he had become a completely different person.

He no longer has the unyielding spirit he once had, as if his edges had been smoothed out.

Thinking of my mother's death.

Thinking of her father's punishment, she felt very upset.

It's normal for my brother to become like this.

After all, her mother's rebellion was real, and she never expected that her mother had been conspiring with the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion for so long.

"Jingyi gave birth to a boy. It was Jiang Nanjiao who saved them. Father did not demote me to a commoner. He only allowed me to go to my fiefdom after the child was one month old. I was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned."

"Really?" Zhan Yao's face was filled with surprise, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. These days, she had not dared to ask her father for mercy.

After all, the Queen Mother's rebellion was a big deal, and she also drugged my grandfather and my father.

This kind of serious crime will definitely lead to the extermination of the entire clan.

She wanted to wait a little longer, until her father's anger subsided before going to find him.

I didn't expect that he would actually be so lenient towards his brother.

"Well, it was Prince Jin and Princess Jin who spoke for me." Zhan Qingheng's voice was a little hoarse when he said this. Jiang Nanjiao was willing to help deliver the baby.

He was already surprised.

After all, he really wanted to harm her before.

He thought that since he was in trouble, they would take the opportunity to gloat over his misfortune and laugh at his misfortune, but he didn't expect that when he sent someone to find her, she was willing to come and help.

What he didn't expect was that they would speak for her.

Thinking about the past, he felt endless guilt and self-blame in his heart. He now understood why his father liked the Crown Prince and Prince Jin more.

Because he never had the breadth of mind and vision that they did.

Zhan Yao was stunned, still looking unconvinced, "They, how could they be so nice?"

She thought they would take the opportunity to deal with her and her siblings.

After all, they had set many traps for them before.

"Yaoyao, our mother is gone, and we have committed such a serious crime. It is time for us to wake up. You will come with me to the fiefdom then." Zhan Qingheng said solemnly.

"Royal brother..." Zhan Yao's eyes were red.

"We still have one month to find out who really killed our mother!" Zhan Qingheng's eyes were filled with anger and his hands were clenched into fists.

My mother has committed a serious crime and should be punished.

But she shouldn't have been killed secretly.

Zhan Yao bit her red lips and said, "The one who killed my mother is still in the palace. Who has such a great ability? My mother is not close to the concubines in the harem."

"Are you familiar with Concubine Xi?" Zhan Qingheng asked. After all, she lived in the palace and had more contact with the concubines in the harem.

"Not very familiar with her. She seldom goes to my mother's palace. I heard that she has been staying in her own palace to worship Buddha. It was approved by my father."

"Brother Emperor, do you suspect her?" Zhan Yao asked in surprise.

"The Queen Mother would not let Zixuan marry Prince Yu for no reason." Zhan Qingheng said calmly. In fact, he had no idea why the Queen Mother made such an arrangement.

Zhan Yao suddenly thought of this.

Because of the queen mother's rebellion and the poisoning of her grandfather and father, the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion was ransacked. I wonder if Zixuan was affected.

After her mother got into trouble, she was also confined to Qingyin Palace.

"I will find a chance to meet Concubine Xi and test her. Brother, please don't act rashly." Zhan Yao said solemnly.

If it is really Concubine Xi.

If she found out that they suspected her, she would definitely kill them.

Zhan Qingheng looked at her, "Be careful and don't expose yourself. When you go find her, tell her that our mother has passed away. She has been worshipping Buddha all year round. Ask her to help pray for our mother."

"I understand. You should go back quickly to see the mother and son and take good care of them." Zhan Yao warned.

"Once this matter is resolved, we will go to the fiefdom together. My brother will find you a suitable husband, and you will live a stable and peaceful life in the future. You must not lose your temper anymore."

"I'll listen to you."

Zhan Qingheng said nothing more and stood up and left.

Zhan Yao sent him to the palace gate and kept staring at his back. In just a few days, she felt that her brother seemed to have grown up suddenly.

If they hadn’t fought before.

Will their family be reunited?

…

After dinner.

Nan Jiaocai and Zhan Beiheng took Youyou Baoer out of the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, they met Zhan Yifan, who seemed to be in a hurry.

"Prince Jin, Princess Jin." Zhan Yifan took the initiative to greet them when he saw them.

"Entering the palace so late?" Zhan Beiheng asked.

"My mother is feeling unwell. I'm going to the palace to take a look."

Nan Jiao said naturally, "I know medicine, why don't I go with you to see Concubine Xi."

Zhan Yifan frowned, "It's so late, isn't it too troublesome? Mother shouldn't be in any serious condition, let the imperial physician take a look first, and if it's still serious, then I'll ask you, my sister-in-law."

"Okay." Nan Jiao no longer insisted on going.

Zhan Yifan was about to leave when he looked at Zhan Beiheng, "Prince Jin, Zixuan doesn't know about the Queen's rebellion. Can you help her put it in context?"

Zhan Beiheng said coldly: "No, if you want to protect her, you should go to the emperor."

Zhan Yifan nodded, "I understand."

After saying this, he turned around and walked hurriedly into the palace.

Nan Jiao retracted her gaze, a faint smile on her lips, "He cares about Wei Zixuan a lot."

The matter of the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion and the court officials who had dealings with the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion.

It's all done by my eldest brother.

Because the Queen was plotting rebellion and poisoning her grandfather and father, those who had once sided with the Queen and Zhan Qingheng were all worried.

Although they did not participate, they still took sides.

"Yeah." Zhan Beiheng said lightly. As for whether Zhan Yifan really cared or was pretending to care, he was not interested. It had nothing to do with him anyway.

"Concubine Xi is actually sick at this time. I will find a chance to go and see her tomorrow." Nan Jiao said thoughtfully.

"Okay, be careful." Zhan Beiheng said seriously.

If it is really Concubine Xi.

Then she must be no simple matter.

In his impression, she was a weak, kind, and harmless woman who was always polite to everyone and never fought or competed.

…

The next day.

When Nan Jiao woke up, Zhan Beiheng was not around. She quickly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, planning to go to the general's mansion to tell her family about Jiang Zhiyan's fate.

Yesterday was a joyous day.

After they arrived at the restaurant, they saw that everyone was smiling, so they didn't tell anyone about her death to avoid bringing bad luck!

As soon as Nan Jiao opened the door and went out, she saw Zhan Beiheng walking towards her with a unhappy look on his face.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Something happened in Xian'an City. I have to go there." Zhan Beiheng looked unusually serious, with a cold look in his eyes.
