Han Feng pursed his lips slightly.
"I plan to investigate if there's someone behind Jiang Ying. She alone wouldn't have thought of drugging me. This method seems to be commonly used by people in the palace."
Su Danruo looked up at Han Feng and asked, "Do you suspect that the eldest princess is the person behind Jiang Ying?"
Han Feng nodded.
"The princess was escorted away that day by her attendants, and she must have sustained many injuries. We've already sent people to search all the pharmacies and medicine shops in the city, but nothing has been found.
After the princess left, Jiang Ying disappeared for a few days. Han Zhao said she went up the mountain to collect herbs. Jiang Ying is a medical expert. She saved me back then, and maybe she also saved the princess.
If the Sultan nodded, after all, she was a girl of luck, and it was possible that she would meet the eldest princess when she went up the mountain to collect herbs.
Han Feng followed Jiang Ying's trail and found out that the eldest princess and Jiang Ying had stayed in a bamboo forest in the suburbs for a few days.
However, when Han Feng sent people to the place, it was already empty.
At the coronation ceremony, Han Feng held Su Danruo's right hand, and the two walked up the platform step by step together.
Han Feng recalled everything he had experienced along the way, and Su Danruo had always been by his side.
He held Sudanruo's hand tightly.
Sudanruo sensed Han Feng's emotions and held his hand tightly in return.
The two men stood on the high platform and turned to face the crowd. The people below knelt down and prayed that the new king would make Shengguo more prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Suddenly, an arrow appeared from the crowd and flew straight towards Han Feng.
Everyone was caught off guard. Han Feng reacted quickly. While he was moving away, he did not forget to hold Su Danruo in his arms and hide together.
The arrow hit the steps nearby.
Sultan Ruo felt that he had been assassinated in this life.
The guards rushed forward to protect the emperor, and specially sent a group of people to chase the assassin.
The assassin was soon caught and the crowd returned to calm. Han Feng continued the coronation ceremony only after making sure that the Sultan was fine.
After returning to the palace, Han Feng went straight to the dungeon. When he saw the captured assassin, he recognized him at a glance as the eldest princess's attendant.
The jailer stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! This man refuses to say anything!"
Han Feng waved his hand and asked the jailers to leave first.
He walked up to Shen Cong nonchalantly and picked up the torture instrument beside him to play with it.
"I know that you are Han Tang's attendant, and it was you who rescued her from the palace that day."
Shen Cong spit out a vicious sound, "You think you can call the eldest princess by her name? She is your eldest sister after all!"
Han Feng didn't want to say so much nonsense, and looked at Shen Cong coldly, "Tell me! Where did you hide her?"
Shen Cong laughed out loud, "I sent her out of Dasheng Country a long time ago! No matter how difficult it is, can you still reach out to other countries?
Just because you destroyed the State of Zhao, you think you can do anything? And you still dream of unifying the world? Dream on! "
Han Feng snorted coldly, "Do you think you'll be safe if you transfer her to another country? How naive! With her temper, how long can she survive on her own?"
A trace of panic flashed across Shen Cong's expression.
He was careless. He shouldn't have listened to the eldest princess and assassinated Han Feng. The eldest princess had been pampered since she was a child. How could she take care of herself alone!
Han Feng continued, "To be honest, I once promised the late emperor that I would spare her life.
If you tell me where she is now, I can bring her back and raise her in the princess's mansion.
If it's too late, then if anything happens to her, I won't be able to do anything about it."
Shen Cong lowered his head, feeling conflicted.
Seeing this, Han Feng decided to give him one last push.
"I have already given you a chance. Since you won't tell me, I can only let your eldest princess fend for herself."
After saying that, Han Feng turned around and pretended to leave.
Shen Cong hurriedly called out to Han Feng, but Han Feng showed no intention of turning back.
This made Shen Cong's suspicion turn into anxiety, and he hurriedly shouted to Han Feng:
"The Princess is at the border of Yun Country!"
Han Feng stopped walking, and Shen Cong pleaded, "I hope you will keep your promise and let the princess live!"
Han Feng ignored Shen Cong and walked out of the cell.
With the clues provided by Shen Cong, the eldest princess was quickly captured.
Although Han Feng hated what the princess had done, the late emperor had his will.
Han Feng had no choice but to keep his promise and confine the eldest princess to the princess's mansion, not allowing her to leave the mansion for the rest of her life.
If the Sultan heard that the eldest princess had been captured, he would think that simply confining her to her home was too lenient for her.
What Han Feng can't do, she can do for him!
She secretly went to the princess's mansion. When the eldest princess saw the Sultan coming, she did not come forward to greet him, but just sat in the house drinking tea.
Sultan Ruo was not angry. He walked to the eldest princess and sat down. He picked up the cup in front of him and poured himself a cup of tea.
He put it in front of him and smelled it but didn't drink it. "The things here are really excellent."
The eldest princess smiled miserably. "What's the use of something being so good? Things and people are no longer the same."
Sudan Ruo put down the teacup and spoke softly: "Shen Cong... is dead."
The eldest princess paused while pouring tea and put down the tea bowl with half a bowl of tea left in it.
"I have done too many wrong things in my life and I deserve the fate I have today. It's a pity for Shen Cong, who has always been loyal to me, but ended up like this."
All the lovers kept by the princess ran away as soon as the princess got into trouble.
Only Shen Cong has always been with the eldest princess and accompanied her through all these things.
The eldest princess felt that she had done nothing wrong to anyone in her life, except to Chen Cong.
If the Sultan saw that the sadness in the eldest princess's eyes was not fake, he would know that it is better to destroy her heart than to kill her.
Sultan stood up and left only one sentence to the eldest princess, "If you really feel that you are ashamed of Shen Cong, you should go down and accompany him."
The eldest princess sat at the desk for a long time after the Sultan left.
The next morning, when the Sultan woke up, he heard that the eldest princess had hanged herself in the princess's mansion.
She sighed in her heart. The eldest princess could have enjoyed a life of wealth and glory, but she wanted too much.
Han Feng also heard the news, and knew that Sultan had visited the princess's mansion yesterday.
Han Feng didn't think that Su Danruo did anything wrong. The eldest princess had done many evil things and had tried to kill him and Su Danruo several times.
He spared her life because he had promised the late emperor. Now that she had committed suicide, Han Feng felt more relieved.
Otherwise, he would have to live in constant fear, fearing that the eldest princess would harm others again.
Han Feng ordered no one to spread the news that Sultan Ruo had visited the Princess's Mansion yesterday.
He didn't want anyone to gossip about Sultanruo behind his back. If the Queen Mother heard it, she would inevitably be dissatisfied with Sultanruo.
The Queen Mother was heartbroken when she heard the news that the eldest princess had committed suicide. She had been deeply remorseful ever since the eldest princess rebelled that day.
The emperor and the eldest princess left her one after another, which she could not bear, and she fell ill within a few days.
