Chapter 390 Shocking Conspiracy

Chunyu Yilan said slowly: "According to the agreed plan, I will control the Second Prince's mind and kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the spot."

[Ahhh! So that's the plan!] Xia Miaoyuan was so shocked that his eyes widened and his body froze.

[What a vicious plan!]

Emperor Mingxi and the Crown Prince were also so shocked that their hair stood on end.

If they hadn't discovered the parasites on the Second Prince in time, a huge tragedy would have occurred at the palace banquet today.

[Oh my God! If it had been a little bit, a little bit, my eldest brother and second brother would have been gone.]

[It's so vicious, so vicious!] Xia Miaoyuan gnashed his teeth in hatred.

[Moreover, even if a tragedy happened, it would be difficult to find out anything. ]

[It was obvious to all that the second brother drank at the palace banquet. If something happened, everyone would think that the second prince was drunk and mad, and had an argument with the crown prince. ]

[Then he accidentally killed the crown prince. ]

[And the second brother had just returned from the northern border, with great military exploits, and was rewarded. He had a very high prestige in the court. Everyone would naturally think that he was proud of his achievements and wanted to compete for the position of crown prince. ]

[Therefore, his abnormal behavior of going crazy and mad at the palace banquet would only be regarded by everyone as pretending to be crazy with alcohol, using alcohol to cover his face, and deliberately embarrassing the crown prince. ]

[When the time comes, the eldest brother will die in vain, and the second brother will inevitably bear the crime of fratricide. 】

【According to the law, those who murder their elder brother should be executed. Even if they are given a break, they will still be imprisoned for life. 】

【In this way, overnight, our Great Xia will lose its crown prince and the most heroic prince. 】

【At that time, my father and mother will be devastated. Perhaps, my father, who always loves his son as if his life, will fall ill. 】

【How vicious! Da Yue can severely damage our Great Xia without a single soldier. 】

Emperor Mingxi, the crown prince, and the second prince listened attentively to Xia Miaoyuan's analysis. They were sweating profusely, and their entire backs were soaked with sweat under their robes.

This time, it was really a close call!

Fortunately, my younger sister was sharp and discovered the second prince's abnormality in time.

Thank God for giving a little fairy to Great Xia.

Thank you, little sister, for saving us all once again, and saving Da Xia once again.

Otherwise, today's palace banquet would be a tragedy.

Xia Miaoyuan was thinking about it, and suddenly shuddered.

[No, why does this plot feel so familiar! ]

[The princes killed each other and both suffered losses. ]

[I remember that this plot also happened in the previous generation! ]

[When the late emperor was alive, the original prince was my uncle, the eldest brother of my father from the same mother. ]

[At that time, the sixth prince who was born later, the son of Jiang Hui, the old witch, also coveted the throne. ]

[At a palace banquet, my uncle had a conflict with his sixth brother, and then my uncle accidentally killed the sixth prince. 】

【My uncle was sentenced to life imprisonment because of this. 】

【Later, the throne fell to my father, whose character was the least suitable for being an emperor. 】

When Emperor Mingxi and his son heard this, they froze.

Emperor Mingxi felt his eyes go dark and his legs go weak. Could it be that the tragedy more than ten years ago was not an accident but man-made?

The prince was quick to help Emperor Mingxi, and the second prince quickly took Xia Miaoyuan into his arms. Only then did Emperor Mingxi calm down a little.

"Chun Yu Yilan, I want to ask you, how old is your master, the Great Viet Priestess?" Emperor Mingxi suddenly asked.

Chun Yu Yilan looked at Emperor Mingxi in confusion. She really couldn't understand why the Great Xia Emperor suddenly changed the subject and asked about his master.

However, in order to save her life, she answered honestly: "My master is 42 years old this year."

Emperor Mingxi said in a deep voice: "I order you to paint a portrait of your master and hand it to me before tomorrow morning."

Chunyu Yilan was so shocked that her mouth was wide open. Her lips trembled and she replied softly: "Yes, sir."

...

In the study.

The prince asked in confusion: "Father, can I ask a question?"

Emperor Mingxi had a blank expression on his face: "Speak!"

"Why did you ask Chunyu Yilan about the witch's age just now? And asked her to draw a portrait?"

Emperor Mingxi sighed deeply, and after a long while, he spoke: "I thought of an old story."

"More than ten years ago, when the late emperor was in power."

Xia Miaoyuan sat on the couch beside him, pretending to play the nine-linked ring game. [Wow, could it be that Dad also thought of the matter of my uncle? Emperor Mingxi continued, "

It was also a palace banquet. My eldest brother accidentally killed my sixth brother."

"Now that I think about it, how similar is the incident back then to Dai Viet's plot this time?!"

The second prince interrupted, "Didn't they say that it was because of a quarrel that he accidentally killed me?"

Emperor Mingxi sighed, "That's just what they said to the outside world."

Hearing this, the three siblings suddenly realized.

This old palace affair is a taboo topic in Daxia. Because it is extremely embarrassing and extremely against etiquette, it is regarded as a huge shame for the Daxia royal family and is not allowed to be discussed. The crown

prince is the oldest. When the tragedy happened, he was already a child of several years old and could remember things.

But he only heard a few words from the empress, saying that at the palace banquet, the eldest uncle had an argument with the sixth uncle, and the eldest uncle was so angry that he accidentally killed the sixth uncle.

As for the specific details, he didn't know at all.

It is said that the eunuchs and palace maids who witnessed the tragedy at the time were also dealt with.

The voice of Emperor Mingxi continued: "I don't know what happened to the eldest brother that day. He was out of character and drank a lot of wine."

"He is not like this usually. He has always been dignified and self-restrained. Especially at the palace banquet, he will pay great attention to his etiquette. No matter how happy or frustrated he is, he will not lose his composure."

"But at the palace banquet that day, he drank one glass after another, and no matter how I tried to stop him, he would not listen."

"Later, my sixth brother began to mock my eldest brother in a weird way."

"At that time, Jiang was favored, and as a result, the sixth brother she gave birth to was also favored by my father."

"At that time, the Jiang family was powerful, and many people in the court were talking about the fact that the late emperor wanted to depose my eldest brother and make my sixth brother the crown prince."

"Under such public opinion, my sixth brother became even more arrogant and domineering."

"That day, my sixth brother mocked my eldest brother. According to my eldest brother's usual style, he would have ignored it or walked away, and would not have argued with my sixth brother."

"However, that day, my eldest brother seemed to have become a different person, arguing with my sixth brother in a compromising manner. The two of them quarreled until they were red in the face, and even when my father spoke to stop them, my eldest brother refused to stop."
