Dong Bingkun doesn't know this truth, if the emperor suspects them because of this matter, even if he can't find out the real evidence, he will inevitably have thoughts about their Dong family because of this matter, so it is likely to affect the future of his nephew Xue Daoming, it can be said that this nephew is the greatest hope of their Dong family in the future, only if the nephew successfully becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne, the power and status of their Dong family can be further advanced in Dayong.
Dong Bingkun pondered for a long time before saying, "In your opinion, who did this?"
Concubine Dong Shufei bit her lip and said, "I don't have any enemies with Daoming, if there is, it must be that person." ” Of course, Dong Bingkun knew who the person she was talking about was, he slowly shook his head and said, "If you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense, especially in front of the emperor, you must be cautious."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the fact that the emperor had not been in court in the past two days, and said in a low voice: "What did the emperor do in the past two days, why didn't he see the court?"
Concubine Dong Shu said: "I don't know, he has been in the Qinzheng Palace for the past two days, and he hasn't seen anyone." ” Dong Bingkun said: "Is it sick?"
Concubine Dong Shufei said: "I specifically inquired with the Tai Hospital, but no Tai Doctor was summoned.
But he'll be in court early tomorrow, so it shouldn't be a big deal. ” Dong Bingkun said: "You shouldn't go to Qichen Palace. ” Concubine Dong Shufei sneered: "If I don't go, others will definitely say that I am indifferent, and if I go, some people will say that I have a weak heart and that I deliberately made a show to the world."
But people live in the world, many times they need to behave, if I don't go, how do I know what she has become" She took a sip of tea and gently dropped the tea cup on the coffee table: "Although she is not officially married to Daoming, after all, she and Daoming already have a marriage contract."
There's nothing wrong with my future mother-in-law visiting her, and it's reasonable to say that. ” Dong Bingkun said: "What is the sister going to do?"
Concubine Dong Shufei sighed and said: "I just don't know what to do to come and ask for advice from the eldest brother, that child is pitiful, just now I asked her what she wanted, she said she wanted to see Dao Ming and say sorry to him." ” Dong Bingkun said: "You agreed" Concubine Dong Shu said: "It depends on Daoming's own meaning."
Whether to see her while she is alive, or to wait for her to go over to mourn after she dies, all in all, this palace must go. ” Dong Bingkun knew that his sister-in-law wanted to use this incident to create the illusion that his nephew was the most affectionate and holy, of course he would not believe that his nephew would have any feelings for this unknown princess of Dakang, so he groaned and said: "No matter what we do, it is inevitable that someone will use this matter to point the finger at us." ” Concubine Dong Shufei said: "Then how to prove our innocence" Dong Bingkun laughed and said: "The pure person is self-purifying, why do you need to prove that the more you want to confess yourself, the more others will think that you have no three hundred taels of silver here."
This is never advisable. ” Concubine Dong Shu said: "Do you just let others talk nonsense?"
Dong Bingkun said: "When the flood comes, blocking is by no means the best way, and if you want to solve it, you must use a diversion strategy.
Although Princess Anping did not marry Daoming, but after all, they had a marriage contract, and when they came to Dayong, this kind of thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not only a challenge to His Majesty, but also a challenge to Daoming to our entire Dong family, and you and Daoming have the responsibility to administer justice for Princess Anping.
The hatred of killing his wife" Concubine Dong Shufei suddenly brightened, and the meaning of the eldest brother could not be clearer.
Regardless of what others think or say, they should be the first to stand up and find out the real murderer, she said in a low voice: "But there is a vast sea of people, how can it be so easy to find the real murderer" "Although it is not easy to find the murderer, it is not difficult to hold him accountable, and the task of protecting the princess is Huo Shengnan's sole responsibility, and she will naturally be responsible for anything that goes wrong.
How can we let Princess Anping die so inexplicably, even if we agree, Dakang will not agree.
It's impossible for the emperor not to give Dakang an explanation, sister, do you say it?"
Concubine Dong Shufei had fully understood what her eldest brother meant at this time, and the problem that had bothered her was solved in an instant, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He said in a low voice: "Yes, she should be held responsible, I heard that many of her subordinates colluded with the assassins to cause the current situation." ” Dong Bingkun said: "Bearing a heavy responsibility, but leaving his post without permission, his crime is the first, leading everyone, but he neglected to supervise the situation of his subordinates, and the second crime is also, as for whether there are other problems, as long as the investigation will definitely be able to find out, who will suspect us at that time."
Concubine Dong Shu said: "Huo Shengnan himself is nothing remarkable, but Wei Chichong is her father-in-law, and the Queen Mother also likes this girl very much." ” Dong Bingkun said: "This kind of thing is inconvenient for Captain Chi Chong to speak, he was originally a person of Dakang, he was ostracized in Dakang, and he was killed by the old emperor of Dakang Long Xuanen, and Long Xiyue is precisely Long Xuanen's daughter, if Wei Chi Chong stands up and speaks, I am afraid that the more he talks, the more chaotic he becomes, saying that he has a grudge against Long Xuanen, and it is possible to take the opportunity to announce his personal vendetta." ” Concubine Dong Shu's phoenix eyes lit up, her brother's words were like an enlightenment, and the problem that originally bothered her had been completely solved at this moment.
What happened in Qichen Palace shook the Dayong government and the opposition, and in the afternoon of the same day, the news had already spread, and the Dakang envoy came to visit Jimin, and Sun Weiyuan, the secretary of the Dayong Rite Department who had been avoiding and unwilling to meet with the Dakang delegation, also came.
Hu Xiaotian had a cold attitude towards Dayong's group of officials, and hastily coped with the matter, and called Xiang Jimin to his room, Xiang Jimin's eyes were red, as a Dakang minister, although he had always been in Dayong and couldn't raise his head, but the princess of his country was assassinated before getting married, and this matter had exceeded the bottom line he could bear, and Xiang Jimin said with tears: "Lord Hu, Her Royal Highness the princess is really not saved" Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Xiang Jimin said inexplicably: "Lord Hu, this matter must be a conspiracy. ” Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "What if it's a conspiracy, do you think we have the ability to find out the truth, and Dayong will help us find out the murderer?"
Xiang Jimin shook his head, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, Dakang's national fortunes were declining, in terms of his experience in Yongdu, his status has deteriorated over the years, the former overlord of the Central Plains has now become a weak country in the eyes of others, as a Dakang courtier, how can he find dignity here The matter of the princess is an accidental assassination on the surface, but there are inevitable factors behind it, even without this assassination, Princess Anping successfully married Xue Daoming, the seventh prince, What awaits her may be another long tragedy.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Lord Xiang, you immediately let people prepare, Her Royal Highness the princess is afraid that time is running out, once she" Hu Xiaotian did not finish his words, making a fake appearance that he couldn't speak because of his throat choking.
Xiang Jimin didn't have any doubts, after all, Hu Xiaotian was the head of Zilan Palace in the past, and he had a deep relationship with Princess Anping's master and servant, and his sadness at this time was also his true feelings.
Hu Xiaotian sorted out his emotions and said: "Once the princess dies, you have to send someone to send the news back to Dakang as soon as possible." ” Xiang Jimin nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Lord Hu, I'll start arranging it." ” Hu Xiaotian said again: "They have already suggested that I prepare for the princess's death, I am short of manpower, and I still need to ask the adults for help in this matter." ” Xiang Jimin said: "This is my duty, I will immediately send someone back to gather people." ” At this time, Xiong Tianba came to report, but it was Xue Daoming, the seventh prince of Dayong, who came.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but scold in his heart when he heard the news, this Concubine Dong Shu's mother and son are really good all the way, hypocritical to the extreme, it has been more than 20 days since the mission arrived in Yongdu, and their mother and son have never taken the initiative to show up, and today when they heard the news of Princess Anping's assassination, they hurried over, nothing more than wanting to create an illusion of their affection in front of others.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Did you let him in?"
Xiong Tian said domineeringly: "My master didn't let him in, saying that anyone who sees a princess must first get your consent." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and walked quickly to the door of the inner garden with Xiong Tianba, Xue Daoming, the seventh prince of Dayong, stood quietly in the courtyard in white, the whole person was like a white lotus flower out of the mud and not stained, Hu Xiaotian had rarely seen such a clean man, although Xue Daoming was not allowed to enter the room, but his expression was still calm and calm, and did not show the slightest anger and displeasure.
Hu Xiaotian came to Xue Daoming and saluted with his fists: "Hu Xiaotian see His Royal Highness the Prince" Xue Daoming glanced at Hu Xiaotian's face, nodded slowly, and said softly: "Lord Hu, I just heard the news and came to visit the princess's condition. ” It was the first time Hu Xiaotian had dealt with this Seventh Prince, Xue Daoming was not as arrogant and rude as he expected, he was high, not only that, but he had the impression that he was a somewhat humble gentleman and gentle as jade. has dealt with a lot of people in the royal family, Hu Xiaotian naturally understands the complexity of these people, most of them are glamorous on the surface but evil in their bones.
Xue Daoming's resistance to this marriage is also obvious, otherwise, how could he not take the initiative to show up until now.
However, it was precisely because of Xue Daoming's indifferent attitude that Hu Xiaotian's plan could be carried out smoothly, if Xue Daoming had gone to see Princess Anping in Yongjiang Nanyang Water Village, then the performance of this scene would have been much more difficult, and Xiyan would probably have already attacked him on the way.
Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, the princess, she is in a very poor condition, and she is still resting in bed. ” Xue Daoming said: "As soon as Gonggong Hu reported it, he said that I was coming." ” Hu Xiaotian listened to him and spoke decently, he was the prince of Dayong and the fiancé of Princess Anping, and he really had no reason to turn him away, Hu Xiaotian arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness, please wait, let Xiaotian report to the princess first." ” Xue Daoming nodded, but secretly thought in his heart, Long Xiyue was only afraid that he had lost his mind at this time, you were deliberately making things difficult for me, but he didn't show anything on the surface.
