Princess Changle had been in good health since childhood and had been pampered. Although her husband was indifferent to her, she already had a son and a daughter. In a sense, her life in those years could be said to be satisfactory. So although she had been suffering from dusk and dawn for ten years, apart from being sleepy, she had not died of poisoning.
However, she had suffered the pain of losing her sons recently, which had devastated her. With her vitality severely damaged, she could no longer resist Huang Hunxiao's poison.
When Xie wrote this passage in blood, her joy was evident on the paper, showing how much she hated Princess Changle.
She will wait for her enemies to come down in the underworld.
Wei Hanzhang continued reading with mixed feelings.
After writing about the grudges and entanglements with Princess Changle, the latter part of the blood letter left by Ms. Xie was obviously calmer.
She confessed that she was the one who planted the worm powder because she hated the emperor and the royal family, and she wished that the world would change its master and the people would be renamed.
Daughter Xie had no ability to shake the throne, and the emperor was in poor health and rarely left the palace. She could not reach into the palace, and her desire to seek revenge on the emperor was completely gone.
Therefore, her sights were set on the heir to the dynasty.
Everyone knows that the emperor has three sons, but only the eldest son is raised by him personally. It can be said that the status of the other two sons combined cannot compare to the prince in his heart.
If the prince died, the emperor, who had been suffering from a long illness, would probably die with him.
But the prince is not so easy to murder. In terms of ability and strategy, the prince is better than his master. His governing skills are much more powerful than the old emperor.
He is surrounded by extremely loyal and talented people. Not to mention poisoning, even a poisonous mosquito would find it difficult to break through the heavy defenses and appear in front of the prince.
Fortunately, the current crown prince is over 20 years old and has no interest in getting married. Seeing that the royal family is about to become extinct and the old emperor's favorite son is gone, Xie can comfort herself that she has barely avenged herself.
But unfortunately, something unexpected happened this year.
A ninth girl appeared out of nowhere in the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, and she won the heart of the prince, making him think of marrying her.
How can this be possible? Compared with those royal families, Xie was more anxious.
She couldn't get into the palace, but with Qi Mingrui's help outside the palace, it was not difficult for her to use some tricks.
It was she who invested in the insect powder.
She planned it very well. Several sets of clothes were stained with poison powder. As long as they were worn in the cool place of the summer palace, there would be no fear of poisonous insects, snakes or ants coming to visit.
But who could have thought that the clothes were worn by a commoner, and she was wearing new clothes in the garden and was rescued by the guards.
After this incident, the number of guards around the future Crown Princess increased visibly, and she was protected very tightly.
The more the prince protected her like a treasure, the more Xie understood how important Wei Hanzhang was in his heart.
After Qi Yuxiao, his own niece, was sentenced to death by the Crown Prince himself because the Crown Princess was in danger, Xie became even more determined to kill her.
If the girl that he holds dear to his heart dies just like that, what will happen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is so high and mighty?
This led to the assassination by the Weichang assassins.
In the blood letter, Xie admitted all the guilt for the assassination. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. The Xie family has been passed down for hundreds of years and is a military family with military power. It is impossible that they don't have any background.
Those assassins were all trained by the Xie family.
As for how they entered the enclosure and how they were sure that Wei Hanzhang would appear there that day, all the details were not explained one by one.
Even with Qi Mingrui's help, it is unrealistic to reach into the enclosure.
As the consort of the emperor, Qi Mingrui had no real power, and the enclosure was guarded by the Imperial Guards and the Eastern Palace Guards. He wanted to arrange for such a group of people to go in...
Wei Hanzhang thought about it and realized that apart from the people from the Xie family in the imperial guards or the Eastern Palace guards, the only option left was to send the death squads into the inner court in the name of arranging eunuchs.
No matter what the situation is, Xie must have help.
Helpers other than Qi Mingrui.
How could Xiao Junzhan not think of what she could think of? He held the little girl's hand, smiled slightly, and looked at the three ministers standing below, "Have you thoroughly investigated it, my dear ministers?"
Such a great authority has been given out, and there have been a lot of turmoil in the past few days. If the truth is not thoroughly investigated, how can Chen Zishu and his colleagues have the face to stand here?
Li Yue bowed and said, "After investigation by our officials, the person behind Ms. Xie is the head of Yuhua Palace, Madam."
The head of Yuhua Palace is the virtuous concubine who gave birth to the second and third princes.
Same position as deputy queen.
They had guessed this a long time ago, and even Wei Hanzhang was not surprised.
To be honest, her appearance did block the path of the two princes.
Otherwise, according to Xiao Junzhan's previous plan, the crown prince would definitely be chosen from among his two younger brothers.
The power to reach the top was within reach, but it was ruined by her appearance...
Apart from the daughter of the Xie family who hated the royal family to the core, only the two princes and their biological mother, Concubine Xian, regarded her as a thorn in their eyes.
Li Yue was still reporting: "The assassins who ambushed Miss Wei in the enclosure were all planted in the inner court by disguising themselves as eunuchs. The chief eunuch Yu Gonggong in the inner court was very stubborn and refused to confess despite all the random questions."
"However, he was promoted by the Concubine Xian, and is now the most important person in the inner court. He has no relatives outside the palace to worry about. Apart from the Concubine Xian who holds the Phoenix Seal, no one in the entire capital can make Eunuch Yu risk his life to do such a thing."
As Concubine Xian's confidant, Eunuch Yu has no family members around and is not threatened by others. He is also the chief steward of the inner court. Money cannot move him, and he has no grudge against Wei Hanzhang himself.
Thinking about it this way, I can't think of any reason why he would arrange for the death squad to enter the enclosure other than that he was ordered by Concubine Xian.
But this is just speculation and there is no real evidence.
Since Li Yue said with certainty that the person behind the scenes was Concubine Xian, there must be other evidence.
Wei Hanzhang continued to listen, and Li Yue said, "There is one more thing. After investigation and interrogation, I found that the guard who led Miss Wei to that path that day was the Second Prince's man. He knew in advance that there was an ambush there, and he intended to lead Miss Wei there."
The second prince? Wei Hanzhang thought of the young man he had met once in the paddock...
At that time, the other party was very polite and reasonable. Didn't she expect that he was already planning to kill her? She thought that Concubine Xian attacked her for the sake of her two sons, and it might have nothing to do with the two princes...
And the guard who led her there, he himself died! In order to kill her, in order not to arouse suspicion, he could even sacrifice his own life? She remembered what Xiao Junzhan said.
