The death of the second prince would be more beneficial to him than the death of Zhang Junlin.

If nothing unexpected happens, the death of the second prince is inseparable from Zhang Junlin.

That is to say!

No matter who dies, he is the biggest profiteer now!

"You came here specially to deliver a message to His Highness, but something happened to the Second Emperor Brother?"

Zhang Juncheng quickly opened the door and looked out.

At this sight, the hand that was holding the spear immediately loosened its grip.

It's her!

The Second Emperor's personal maid!

Because this woman's figure was very proud, he was very impressed with her and even asked the second emperor brother for her in private.

It's a pity that the second emperor brother wants to keep this person by his side and refuses to give up his love.

I thought that this girl must be deeply loved by the Second Emperor's brother, so she asked Zhang Junlin for help regardless of Zhang Junlin's power.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, he, he..."

The maid covered her face with her sleeves, secretly pinched the tender flesh of her waist hard, and tried hard to think about the sad things, and then she finally sobbed.

"Your Highness, he is dead!"

"His Second Highness is dead?!"

Xiao Shunzi was taken aback and looked towards His Royal Highness.

When I saw the smile flashing in His Highness's eyes, I felt a chill in my heart. When I thought about it carefully, I trembled with fright at His Highness's question just now.

It seems that this matter must be another secret in the palace. If ordinary people find out, they will probably lose their heads.

"Your Highness remembers your name..."

"His Second Highness gave this slave the name Xiao Taohong."

"Xiao Taohong, who killed the second emperor brother?"

Hearing this question, Xiao Taohong burst into tears, thinking that she had slipped up and told the cause of the second prince's death in advance.

After she reacted quickly, she didn't need to worry about how the eighth prince knew.

Just follow what was explained above.

"Yes...His Highness was going to entertain His Highness the Crown Prince. Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly poured wine on His Highness. His Highness seemed to be in a rage. He vomited a lot of black blood on the spot and died."

Vomiting black blood is a sign of intense fire attacking the heart.

The second emperor brother wanted to poison Zhang Junlin with poisonous wine, but was discovered, and was killed by Zhang Junlin!

"When did this happen?"

"What happened more than a month ago, I don't know exactly when."

Xiao Taohong handed her hands, which were calloused from work, to the crack of the door, sniffing.

"Since the death of my Highness, those of us who serve have been sent to do hard work day and night. I don't even know what day it is."

"I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince did not announce His Highness's death to the public at all, and I was afraid that His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen would return to Jinling to punish him for this."

"I sneaked out because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hosted a banquet for the ministers today and all the officials went to have a drink."

If only Xiao Taohong opened her mouth to tell this matter.

Faced with such a big thing as the death of the second prince, Zhang Junlin originally kept it secret, but at this time, Xiao Taohong revealed it.

Zhang Juncheng was naturally very suspicious.

But when he saw that Xiao Taohong's slender and tender fingers were covered with calluses, he became convinced.

Coupled with the second prince's handwritten letter in his hand, he was able to confirm that it was the second prince's handwriting, so he believed it.

"Xiao Taohong, I admire you very much for your gratitude to your late master and not fearing the power to report the news. However, I cannot protect myself now. In this matter, you still have to find a way to send the news outside the palace."

Xiao Taohong looked at the Eighth Prince who refused in surprise.

Not that he was surprised by the Eighth Prince's reaction.

But she didn't expect that the female guard who ordered her to come was actually right.

When the eighth prince learns about the death of the second prince, he may make inquiries, but he will never help the second prince to "redress his grievances."

"But His Highness the Eighth, usually you and His Highness the Second have the best time and are as close as one. Apart from you, I really don't know who to trust in this palace."

"..."

Zhang Juncheng thought that he usually played well with the second emperor brother because he wanted to get his father's attention.

Now that the second emperor brother is dead, he can't risk his life to argue with Zhang Junlin about right and wrong.

He was sure that Zhang Junlin must have spared Zhang Junlin's life because he didn't know about it. If he dared to talk nonsense, he would be like the second emperor brother and die without being known to the world.

"Xiao Taohong, please stop crying. If you call in the guards again, you and I will both die."

"But Your Highness... I... I don't want to live anymore."

Xiao Taohong lay on the ground, sobbing and continuing to cry.

According to the order, she still has to act.

Zhang Juncheng looked at Xiao Taohong, who was crying uncontrollably, and then saw that she was wearing coarse linen clothes, her hair was plain, not to mention wearing gold and silver, even the hairpins were cut out of bamboo.

It was confirmed that Xiao Taohong was indeed not doing well.

The purpose of coming to him is probably to use this news in exchange for credit so that she can live a more comfortable life.

"Alas! Xiao Taohong, I know your difficulties, why not do this, I ask the Third Emperor Brother to ask you to come and serve me, and I can keep you safe for a while."

Zhang Juncheng swallowed his saliva when he saw the graceful figure lying at the foot of the steps, still charming.

Having been a monk in this palace for two months, he missed the days of fooling around with the second emperor brother countless times.

If you don't take the little peach red delivered to your door, it will be free of charge.

"Your Highness, I actually have something else, but I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"

Xiao Taohong suppressed her nausea and continued as instructed.

Zhang Juncheng's heart and eyes were full of little peach red at this time. Seeing that she finally stopped crying, he thought that his promise just now had an effect.

As my self-confidence increases, I also gain more patience.

"You said, if someone bullies you, when His Highness goes out, he will definitely make the decision for you."

"Your Highness, it's not that someone bullied the slave, but...but..."

Xiao Taohong hesitated to speak, wiped her tears with embarrassment on her face, and glanced at Zhang Juncheng with eyes full of eyes.

The expression of the person who wants to talk but doesn't want to talk is just right, making Zhang Juncheng's heart feel like a cat scratching, itching.

"Speak quickly, and after that, Your Highness will make the decision for you!"

Zhang Juncheng said he was guaranteed a ticket.

Xiao Shunzi, who was standing next to him, thought about how he had been scolded by His Highness the Eighth Prince just now when he wanted to go out.

At this moment, he was greedy for beauty and actually started to attract people to the palace. She was a maid who knew the secret that might harm His Highness' life. He felt so miserable that he couldn't express it.

"Your Highness, why not wait until another day..."

"Your Highness, I just passed by the corridor outside the East Palace and heard Zhenzhou coming to report that the evidence of the death of Xia Guozhang has been confirmed. I don't know if I heard it wrong..."

As soon as Xiao Taohong finished speaking, she felt the strong pressure released from Zhang Juncheng, and quickly lowered her head to prevent her timidity from showing.

At the same time, I secretly marveled in my heart.

As expected of a noble man from Tianhuang, he is not angry and has authority, which is indeed scary.

Especially the Eighth Prince's martial arts level is not low, just with his cannibalistic eyes, it's like he wants to eat her alive.

"Xiao Taohong, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything randomly. You must have heard wrong!"

How could my giant grandfather die?!

I also hope that before the emperor, he united the wealthy and nobles in the United States and Zhenzhou, overthrowing Zhang Junlin, and supporting him to board the throne!

Now that the two princes are dead, they have the most powerful competitor. The grandfather only needs to move a little.

"Xiaoshunzi, undress!"

"ah?"

Xiaoshunzi was stupid.

Did your Highness call the wrong person?
