Yanse calmly explained, "The Dali Temple investigators will be here soon, but Sixth Prince, don't worry, there won't be any problems, because there is more important evidence that will restrain the Dali Temple."
Feng Hao had some concerns, "What about the token?"
Yanse took out an identical token from his pocket.
This palace exit token was a special gift from the Empress to her concubines, so it originally belonged to Consort Ling. Therefore, it was an easy task for the people of the Dali Temple to find the lost token.
"Where did you get this token?" Feng Hao asked in shock.
Yanse did not answer, but said, "Sixth Prince, you don't need to know where this came from, as long as you can avoid the search by the Dali Temple."
As Yanse spoke, she walked up to Consort Ling and respectfully presented her with the token in both hands.
Consort Ling gazed intently at the token that was handed to her, and then reached out to take it.
Feng Hao pressed on, "Then who exactly is behind this framing?"
Smoky replied, "I don't know either."
Consort Ling looked at Yanse and asked sternly, "Can your mistress really guarantee that my son will seize the position of Crown Prince?"
It seems like a pipe dream for Feng Hao to become the crown prince and the ruler of the world. This process will definitely be a bloody battle.
Unfazed by Consort Ling's imposing manner, Yanse calmly replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Since this is a mutually beneficial cooperation, we will do our utmost to help the Sixth Prince. However, this matter cannot be rushed. Your Majesty must not lose your composure. Right now, Your Majesty only needs to win the Emperor's favor and regain his favor."
Feng Hao comforted her from the side, "Mother, now that we've come this far, just do it."
Although Consort Ling had her concerns, they truly had no way out.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review arranged for people to continue searching for the token, while he was sent out of the palace because he had just received news that the Imperial Guards had found a body dressed in night clothes in the moat. When the coroner examined the body, he found a totem tattoo on the back of the body. The experienced Minister immediately recognized it as the symbol of the Dark Night Assassins, the number one assassin organization in the martial arts world.
This shadow assassin and Shen Nanzhi had a past feud.
Three years ago.
When the emperor traveled south, Shen Nanzhi encountered the emperor's entourage on his way back to the capital and became his bodyguard, following the emperor's side.
At that time, the emperor was ambushed by assassins in the dark. Shen Nanzhi immediately killed the two chief assassins who were in charge and protected the emperor's safety. As a result, the reputation of the assassins in the dark, which everyone feared, was severely damaged. Shen Nanzhi and the assassins in the dark became sworn enemies.
As the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review who accompanied His Majesty south at that time, I was well aware of this matter.
Therefore, it is indeed this organization that has the capability and sufficient reason to assassinate Shen Nanzhi. If this is the case, it will be quite troublesome to track down the murderer.
evening.
When Chen Ping arrived at the Marquis's residence, he told Mu Chenshuang what he had learned. It was clear that someone behind Feng Hao had made a move.
"The person who could kill a Night Assassin so easily and throw him into the moat without being discovered must be quite powerful. The Dali Temple must be investigating in this direction now."
Mu Chenshuang stroked the string of beads in her hand, her expression serious, and asked, "About the token?"
"After the Dali Temple searched the palace, it was found that no one had lost their token. It seems that the Sixth Prince must have been prepared in advance. I just don't know where he got the token. Even if he wanted to make a counterfeit, the Sixth Prince would have to have anticipated this and started making an exact replica of the token in advance."
Mu Chenshuang said in a deep voice, "It's obviously not Feng Hao's prediction, but the person behind him."
Chen Ping asked in surprise, "Then who exactly would know your thoughts in advance, Princess?"
Mu Chenshuang frowned in thought. The person who knew that she would shift the suspicion to Feng Hao must be very knowledgeable about her affairs. Being able to make an exact replica of the token in such a short time and easily deliver it to Consort Ling was enough to prove the person's ability.
Now that the suspects have turned to the Dark Night Assassins and connected them with the token, it will inevitably lead people to believe that someone in the palace is connected to the Dark Night Assassins. The mastermind behind bribing the Dark Night Assassins to assassinate Feng Guche has yet to be found, and the emperor will certainly strengthen his vigilance and thoroughly investigate the palace.
This is also the easiest time to set up a trap and take advantage of someone's misfortune.
Since the other party is helping Feng Hao from behind, they must want to help him seize the throne. So what needs to be done is to bring down the Crown Prince and the Prince of the City.
Therefore, the other party is very likely to take advantage of the situation to set a trap.
At this moment.
Linglong strode in and said, "Miss, Crown Prince Junheng is here to see you."
