Chapter 203 Discovery is Confusing
After hearing what Ye Xiao had said, Jiang Xinyu felt guilty and poked Xiao Yuan.
"You're being a little bit unkind. Do you want to send a message to He Zhang?
That silly boy was impulsive to begin with, don't let yourself regret it later if something bad happens to you."
Xiao Yuan shook his head firmly, "You don't know Twelve, don't worry, he will be able to adapt quickly.
I am already old, and I hope my son can become independent as soon as possible so that I can retire and enjoy my old age.
In the past, when I was in the front, the kid was confident and never made any progress.
This is a great opportunity for him to grow.”
Jin Zekang and Jiang Xinyu looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Since the father said so, there was nothing they could say to persuade him.
However, they both agreed that Xiao Yuan was a bit too cruel, and it would be easy to get into trouble if they played like this.
Ye Xiao himself is not very old, there are many ways to train him. I have never heard of anyone pretending to be a broken family in order to train their children.
Young people are impulsive, irritable and prone to extremes. Looking at how crazy that kid was today, I'm afraid he may still be causing trouble.
He Zhang has now been reinstated, and with the cooperation of his friends in the East Factory and Xiao Yuan's diehard fans, they quickly discovered that there was something unusual about Xu Qinglan's death.
The Third Prince was in a hurry to silence the person and inevitably made some mistakes. He neither had time to check Xu Qinglan's residence or body, nor did he forget to change the poison.
He did not go into battle himself, but instead sent a personal eunuch to approach Xu Qinglan under the pretext of delivering something, then smothered her with a handkerchief and forced poison into her mouth.
Unfortunately, the eunuch was caught and his hand was injured when he was trying to smother Xu Qinglan, and several threads were torn off. The poison he used was the very expensive Sunset Red.
He Zhang even smelled a faint scent of Jiuhexiang on Xu Qinglan's hands.
In Dajin, you can’t just wear casual clothes; many of the better materials have their origins.
Although they are just a few inconspicuous dark blue threads, this color and texture are not something that ordinary people would wear.
This kind of dark blue silk was mostly used as the standard uniform for senior eunuchs, such as the eunuchs in front of the emperor, the eunuchs in charge of each palace, or the personal eunuchs of each prince.
The secret recipe of Nine-Incense is not a very common spice. It is usually used by few people outside the palace.
There are dozens of special kinds of incense used in the palace. In addition to personal preferences, one must also consider the master's preferences.
For example, the emperor himself used ambergris but liked the smell of gardenia, so many concubines or palace maids who wanted to curry favor with the emperor would use gardenia.
The taste of the secret recipe of Jiuhexiang is relatively small. Compared with floral and fruity scents, this kind of woody fragrance is not widely used.
He Zhang recorded all these details in a book, and consciously checked with Zhang Zhongyi and the second and third princes, and soon made a breakthrough.
He still knew who his own governor had a quarrel with, and he also knew that besides them, the emperor wanted to know who killed the governor as soon as possible.
They are not good at speaking and many things are inconvenient for them to do, but they can force the other party into a desperate situation.
In this situation, it is better to move than to remain still. Only by forcing the other party to move can we get more clues.
Ye Xiao also calmed down and joined in the investigation, with a chilly look on his face that made him look even more like Xiao Yuan.
Chen Kuang basically avoids Mr. Ye now. It feels like he will be pockmarked with holes if he stands next to him for a while.
It is better to go to the Left Prime Minister and persuade them to take action as soon as possible and get rid of their identity as Infernal Affairs as soon as possible.
Damn it, being an undercover agent is not a human thing!
Not only did Master Ye's nose not a nose and his eyes not eyes, but many of his colleagues who were loyal to the Governor looked as if they wanted to eat him.
But he couldn't make any excuses. Not only did he have to be on guard against outsiders, he also had to be on guard against his own people. Now there was an eye standing guard over him even when he slept.
If this continues, his head will be bald, and he is really afraid that he will die at the hands of his own people.
Soon Zhang Zhongyi learned about the clues found here, and called the third prince from the secret passage and scolded him angrily.
Is there no one working in your house?
Even if there are no professional killers available, you can't use the eunuchs around you.
It's no secret that the eunuchs around your Third Prince are all smoking Jiuhe incense. If someone remembers it later, it will be a ready-made handle for you.
The third prince was also a little panicked, "What should I do now? How about I deal with Liu Fu?"
Zhang Zhongyi was so stupid that he laughed, "What's the point of dealing with Liu Fu now?
At this moment, a eunuch next to you died inexplicably. Isn't it more shocking?
People leave traces behind, and wild geese leave voices behind. No matter how many times you have met Xu Qinglan, there is no guarantee that others have seen her."
A hint of cruelty flashed across the eyes of the Third Prince, "Teacher, Xiao Yuan is already dead. What are we waiting for?
Better to be crispy..."
Jin Zexuan pointed his index finger upwards and made a gesture of wiping his neck, meaning that it would be better to just kill the old emperor and push him to the throne.
The prince's health had been damaged by alcoholism in recent years, and he had someone secretly give him Wu Shi San.
The Jin Dynasty could not possibly want an emperor with a drug addiction, and the position of crown prince had long been a figurehead.
Now the second brother has broken his leg, the fourth and fifth brothers are also in a state of disarray, and the remaining little ones can't even stand on their own.
Once the emperor passed away, only he would inherit the throne. He didn't understand what the left prime minister was waiting for.
What if the second child gets better and realizes what's going on and kills him first?
Zhang Zhongyi shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer. I always feel uneasy.
It's no use killing the old emperor now.
The Second Prince only broke his leg, he is not dead yet. Even if you sit on the throne, you will not be able to sit steadily if he brings half of the nobles to make trouble.
At this point... I can only rely on the Emperor to kill him first."
At this point, Zhang Zhongyi looked at the third prince with a burning gaze, "Your Highness, you must face death first before you can survive."
Jin Zexuan suddenly shuddered, "Teacher, you..."
Zhang Zhongyi opened the secret compartment and took out a small bottle about an inch high.
"The Noble Consort Xian used this Forget Worry Pill to poison the Queen.
This was brought to her by her brother, who was a general in Shu. It is extremely precious and rare.
There is half a pill in this bottle, eat it when you get back."
Jin Zexuan's face turned pale, "Teacher..."
"Don't panic, half a pill of poison won't kill you.
Now, the only ones who have a chance to challenge for the throne are you and the Second Prince. Not only do you know this, but the Second Prince also knows that the Emperor knows it even better.
If you are infected with this forgetfulness poison, all the blame will be directed at Jin Zexu.
By then he will have no choice but to rebel.
Even if he could bear it, Concubine Xiangui couldn't sit still.
As long as they touch the emperor, they will have to move, and all the dragon guards and hidden cards in his hand that we cannot find will be revealed.
Once they're both defeated, it'll be our turn.
If the Second Prince is defeated, it can be considered as a precaution for us and a loss of the Emperor's power.
If the emperor is defeated, that would be perfect. The Third Prince can kill the traitors and ascend the throne legitimately."
Jin Zexuan swallowed hard. It sounded wonderful, but it was poisonous...
What if he really ate it to death?
Even if he didn't die from the food, what if the left prime minister was lying to him?
If he could give up his eldest aunt, the Second Prince, he might be able to give up his fourth aunt, who has real power but no name.
There are still several girls in the prime minister's mansion. They are paired up one by one according to their ages. Even the 6-year-old Xiaojiu has girls of the same age.
If he and his father and second son were both killed, who knows, that brother would take advantage of it.
It is said that only he and the second son are capable of sitting on the throne, but what if the capable ones and the emperor died together?
Wouldn't it be more fun to push a little puppet up to be the Regent?
Jin Zexuan broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this. He finally understood what it meant to be in a difficult situation.
