Chapter 1307 Secret 7
"There's enough bait to catch anything we want. We just have to wait."
In the martial arts world of the Four Kingdoms, all the major sects gather together and there are always one or two old foxes who know the truth.
Xiang Minghou nodded and asked, "We just saw Luo Wen. Why did the Royal Guards suddenly want to go to Huaiyang?"
Ye Qianning didn't intend to hide it and expressed his suspicion: "I think Princess Changyang may have royal blood."
"What did you say?" Zhan Chi stood up, his voice rising several degrees.
Xiang Minghou was also surprised, but he remained calm. He raised his head and glared at Zhan Chi, and his internal energy instantly dispersed, blocking out the sound from the outside world.
Zhan Chi realized his mistake belatedly and sat down with his hand covering his mouth, lowering his voice: "How is this possible? Princess Changyang is from the Huaiyang Xiao family. The Huaiyang Xiao family has a great relationship with the capital, so how could they be connected to the royal bloodline?"
"I don't quite believe it either. The current situation makes us have to doubt it. All the princes who participated in the fight for the throne are dead. After the emperor ascended the throne, the husbands of the princesses of the royal family who had married out were innocently wiped out a few years later. Some of those who never married drowned, and some were married off to foreign countries. None of the princesses who were married off had children. The news that came back was that the princesses died of sorrow and depression because they had no children. There is no bloodline of the late emperor at all." Ye Qianning checked all these when he met Fu Chenyu.
Xiang Minghou combined his investigation after learning the royal secrets and found that this was indeed the case. The previous emperor's prince was executed after failing in the fight for the throne. The other princes were imprisoned and died soon after. None of them had any offspring.
After the emperor sat on the throne, the royal princesses were also dealt with.
The current Emperor of Beili is the child born from the affair between Concubine Xi and the guard. After he ascends the throne, he will never allow anyone with Huang family blood to survive, let alone allow them to leave offspring and endanger his position.
Zhan Chi was completely shocked. The royal struggle was already unpredictable in terms of life and death. Now after hearing what Ye Qianning said, he felt terrified.
"Then how did you guess that Princess Changyang has royal blood?" Marquis Xiang Ming wondered.
"The number of hidden royal guards in Changyang Palace is several times greater than that in other palaces. Originally, I wanted to guide Prince Changyang to investigate the secrets of the royal family, but I found that whenever someone in Changyang Palace moved, the emperor's hidden guards also moved. At the same time, the number of hidden royal guards in the palace continued to increase. At first, I was also confused. Yesterday, I went to Changyang Palace and inadvertently asked about the princess's past. Both of her children died in accidents and were poisoned. Even Nanxiang almost lost her life that year. I carefully inquired about what the princess mentioned about the Huaiyang Xiao family. After leaving the palace, I sent people to the Huaiyang Xiao family. Less than an hour later, the royal hidden guards also left the city. It seems that they were also going to the Huaiyang Xiao family."
Ye Qianning did not hide from others when she went to the palace yesterday, and the emperor heard everything she said with the princess.
The one in the palace panicked.
"Maybe it's because of something else?" Zhan Chi still couldn't connect the two things.
"If the emperor had not sent people to Huaiyang, I would think it was impossible, but he did send people. When the capital was in such chaos, he still pulled out so many secret guards. It was enough to explain everything. A person with a false bloodline sat on that position. What he feared most was that the matter of his bloodline would be exposed. Would those who supported him in the past be willing to know that he was not of the emperor's bloodline, the family that supported him, and those families that took back power after he came to power? Even if he is sitting on the dragon throne now, those people in the past will have doubts and riots. How can he sit in this position for long? So he is afraid, and even more afraid that the matter will be exposed." Ye Qianning was absolutely sure that the Xiao family in Huaiyang felt that there was a big secret hidden.
