Chapter 4: The Xuanmen
Thinking of the thrilling situation where his life was hanging by a thread just now, and what Xiao Liangdi said, "a bloody disaster."
A guess vaguely emerged in Luo Qinghan's mind——
Could it be that Xiao Liangdi already knew that he would be assassinated?
If she is an insider, then what is her relationship with these assassins?
Could it be that they are in the same group?
But if they were in the same group, why did Xiao Liangdi give him the amulet and remind him to be careful of ambushes?
Countless doubts surged into Luo Qinghan's mind, causing him to stare at the amulet in his hand for a long time.
It was not until the eldest prince and the second prince hurried over with their guards that Luo Qinghan came to his senses.
He put away the amulet and his face returned to his usual indifferent and cold expression.
"Third brother, I heard that you were attacked by an assassin. Are you injured?"
Luo Qinghan's gaze swept across the faces of his two brothers one by one. They seemed to be really worried, with concern written all over their faces.
However.
Who knows what they really think?
Maybe these assassins were sent by one of them.
Luo Qinghan was appointed as the crown prince only a year ago, but he was neither the eldest son nor the legitimate son. The only thing he could rely on was the support of the queen's mother's family.
But in the eyes of the princes, no matter how close Luo Qinghan is to the queen, he is not the queen's biological son. Why should he occupy the position of crown prince? !
The princes did not show it on their faces, but they were all very unwilling in their hearts.
Over the past year, they have been making small moves in private, but they were all just petty tricks that couldn't hurt Luo Qinghan, so Luo Qinghan didn't take them to heart.
Unexpectedly, these brothers became even more outrageous and even killed each other for the position of crown prince!
Luo Qinghan's heart was filled with emotions, but his face remained calm: "I'm fine, my two brothers don't have to worry."
"I'm glad you're okay. Father is very worried about you. Go and tell him you're safe. We can handle this."
"Then I'll have to trouble you two royal brothers."
Luo Qinghan rode away on the guards' horses, but left his guards behind.
Because the prince almost met with an accident, the emperor had no intention of hunting anymore, so today's hunting ended early.
Return to the East Palace.
Luo Qinghan called several of his confidants to the study.
They discussed for an hour.
Finally, they split into two groups, and one group went to the bottom of the cliff to search for the horse's body to find out why the horse suddenly went mad.
Another group of people went to trace the origins of the assassins to find out who sent them.
It was already evening when Luo Qinghan came out of the study.
He suddenly thought of the woman who hugged his thighs this morning.
"Where is Xiao Liangdi?"
Eunuch Chang bowed and replied, "She is imprisoned in Lengxiang Tower."
Luo Qinghan raised his foot and walked towards Lengxiang Tower.
When they arrived at the door of Lengxiang Tower, they saw that it was closed and the dim light of candlelight was shining through the windows.
Eunuch Chang went forward and knocked on the door.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
There was a series of loud noises coming from the building, and Xiao Liangdi's urging voice could be faintly heard.
"Put your things away!"
This was followed by a burst of hurried footsteps.
The door was opened.
Xiao Xixi brought Baoqin forward and knelt down to pay their respects.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan looked at the woman in front of him. Her lips were red and shiny, and he could faintly smell a hint of spicy and fresh flavor.
He asked calmly, "What are you doing in the house?"
Xiao Xixi felt guilty: "I'm having dinner."
"You don't look worried at all."
"What are you worried about?"
"What do you think?"
