"I just think it's too coincidental. Changle has offended many people over the years, but the only real enemy who dares to take revenge is the Xie family."
He did not judge the right and wrong of this past event, but could only make an inference: "The male members of the Xie family were undoubtedly executed, and the female members were all killed, so the only one left was Qi Mingrui's first wife, who was hanged before entering the Jiaofang Bureau."
Wei Hanzhang listened in silence.
Yes, it was the Qi family who raided the Purple Robe Marquis’ Mansion. If Qi Mingrui really wanted to do something, it would not be impossible for him to save the people.
Xiao Junzhan said calmly, "Whether the person is dead or not, and whether the matter of the insect powder and the spiritual poison is related to the Xie family, we will know it once we investigate."
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. No matter how well the mastermind hides, he will eventually show up.
As for the death of the young master of the Qi family, if it is really related to his biological father Qi Mingrui, the truth will come out one day.
He looked at the pretty and lively girl beside him, his eyes full of love and pity.
In Xiao Junzhan's mind at the moment, nothing was more important than the fate Gu on this girl. All other people and things had to be put aside.
Under his gaze, Wei Hanzhang felt unusually uncomfortable and a little sad.
She understood his fear and didn't know how to comfort him. After a brief pause, she said, "Shall we go out of the palace?"
Xiao Junzhan did not respond, "Where do you want to go?"
Wei Hanzhang thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Duke of Qi's mansion. Something has happened to the eldest princess' son, and His Majesty is unable to visit him in person. It is only right that you go there in person to visit him."
She felt somewhat fortunate that the news was delivered before the imperial guards left the palace and surrounded the Duke of Qi's mansion, otherwise Qi Mingrui would have been alarmed.
When leaving the palace, one should travel light and in a simple manner.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Duke of Qi's mansion. Not long after, the heavy vermilion double doors opened, and the Duke of Qi led his children and grandchildren out in a hurry to pay their respects.
Wei Hanzhang stood beside Xiao Junzhan and his eyes fell on Prince Qi.
Mingjun's eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that he had experienced the pain of losing his daughter first and then losing his son a few days later, which was indeed a deep blow to him.
In fact, including the eldest son born to his first wife, he had a total of three children who all died.
And he and the princess were both over thirty years old...
Xiao Junzhan also looked at his brother-in-law. He looked at him quietly for a few breaths before saying, "The funeral hall is ready. Lead the way for me."
Qi Mingrui bowed deeply and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."
The rest of the Qi family members stood where they were, silent as a mouse, and followed behind from a distance.
On the way, Wei Hanzhang couldn't stand the silence anymore and asked, "Have you found out why such an accident happened?"
"Yan Ge'er started learning horse riding at the age of seven. He has been riding a domesticated mare with a gentle temperament for seven years. But yesterday he changed to riding a tall and fierce horse."
Qi Mingrui smiled bitterly and said, "A 14-year-old boy could have tried to tame his own horse, but the horse he chose was extremely fierce and unruly. My son fell off the horse and landed on a row of weapons..."
One thing leads to another, who can not say it is a coincidence?
The mourning hall was set up hastily and was just built.
Wei Hanzhang was left outside by Xiao Junzhan.
She frowned and asked why.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did give a reason, but in front of her biological father, he said that the mourning hall was unknown and would not allow her to enter.
