Chapter 228: Uneasy (Update 1)
Yaohua Palace.
The faint scent of sandalwood wafted in the air, a scent that used to calm my mind, but today it seemed unable to soothe my troubled heart.
Xiao Chengxuan entered the palace this time originally to gather some information, but after learning that the eldest princess had also entered the palace this morning, he realized that his actions were inappropriate.
If Chen Yanchuan really followed orders, then everything that happened today would be justified.
At this time, whoever can't sit still first is the one who is guilty.
Concubine Ru couldn't help but whispered, "Chengxuan, tell me...what's wrong with Han Yao that he has to meet Han Tong at this time?"
Xiao Chengxuan frowned and shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe Han Tong was beheaded today, and he was eager to save his father, so he came up with this bad idea."
"Does he have such guts?" Concubine Ru was a little skeptical. "When I saw Han Yao before, he was just a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. How could he threaten Chen Yanchuan to stop the death row prisoner now?"
"Even rabbits bite when they are cornered. With Han Tong's death, he has no one to rely on. In addition, there was a fire last night that burned the Han family to ashes... It's normal for him to go crazy."
"But even if that's the case, he'll only end up dead if he does these things!" Concubine Ru couldn't understand, "And that Chen Yanchuan actually did what he was told and took Han Tong with him!"
Who knows, you might get reported to others later!
After all, there are more than one or two families who dislike Dingbei Marquis Mansion...
Hearing this, Xiao Chengxuan smiled coldly: "If it was someone else who was held hostage, Chen Yanchuan might not care at all, but it was Ye Chutang. Mother doesn't know that Chen Yanchuan treats Ye Chutang differently."
Concubine Ru was stunned: "Oh?"
She thought for a moment and said, "But Ye Chutang is nominally indebted to him, so it's normal for him to do this, right?"
Han Yao probably chose to attack Ye Chutang because of this.
Xiao Chengxuan shook his head, a gloomy look flashing in his eyes.
"I'm afraid it's more than that..."
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Your Highness?"
Xiao Chengxuan looked back and saw that it was the confidant he had sent out to investigate the situation.
"Enter!"
The man bowed and stepped forward, looking hurried.
Xiao Chengxuan felt even more uneasy.
"What's wrong? Tell me!"
The man knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, the prince of Dingbei Marquis just found a box at the Han family's place. It seems, it seems to be related to Ye Heng!"
"Ye Heng?" Concubine Ru was stunned for a moment, "Why are you talking about him again?"
A string in Xiao Chengxuan's mind quickly tightened.
Then, I heard that person say——
"After Han Tong was arrested, Han Yao publicly declared that his father was innocent. It was only because he had evidence of Ye Heng's murder of his brother that Ye Heng hated him and brought about his revenge on the entire Han family!"
Xiao Chengxuan's head buzzed.
"Later, under his guidance, the prince of Dingbei successfully dug out evidence from the Han family's courtyard! The Han father and son have now been detained, awaiting their fate!"
Crash—bang!
In a rage, Xiao Chengxuan swept the teacup on the table and smashed it to pieces.
The palace servants serving outside hurried over upon hearing the noise.
"My Lady!?"
Concubine Ru quickly rebuked: "No one is allowed to come in!"
The people outside the door didn't know why, but they didn't dare to disobey and could only wait carefully.
Concubine Ru then looked at Xiao Chengxuan and said hastily, "Chengxuan, calm down!"
How could Xiao Chengxuan remain calm?
He asked grimly, "Evidence? What evidence did they dig up? "
