The so-called wave has not yet settled, and the wave has risen again. Emperor Yuan just witnessed Xiao Lingyao and the assassin falling into the foot of the mountain together. Then another guard came to report that the eldest prince Xiao Lingzhao was killed by an assassin in the temple. Now the temple is searching for the whereabouts of the assassin.

In a flash, a son died and a girl was unknown. After receiving the report, Emperor Yuan was extremely depressed. Xiao Lingzhao was ambitious but not wise. Because of Chen Wanrong, he would not let his eldest son succeed to the throne, but he would not take his life.

Emperor Yuan had long planned that as long as the Chen family quit the court obediently, Chen Wanrong would no longer cause trouble and finally gave him a fiefdom and took him to the fiefdom to live a stable life. Unexpectedly, he would have lost his life in this imperial temple?!

In the distance is a towering and solemn temple, but life and death occur in this Buddhist place. Emperor Yuan felt uneasy when he thought of his morning prayers.

If God hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have been able to see it. He wouldn't have taught his children to die well?!

"Your Majesty, mourn." Seeing that his situation was wrong, Eunuch Hong hurriedly stepped forward to support him. He once fought against the battlefield and killed his brothers. He was even held back by this person when the late emperor was dying. What a deep and cruel person Emperor Yuan was, but he was still a father after all.

Emperor Yuan held the handkerchief full of blood words in his hand. He was a big mistake. What big mistake could Yao'er make in the harem for nine years? Suddenly he thought of Zhao Lun who was out of control and the shrill "sister", and he stood up: "Where is Zhao Lun?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Lord Zhao, Commander Meng, the Prince Consort and others went down the mountain to find the whereabouts of His Highness." A guard replied.

Emperor Yuan held a knife in one hand and a blood handkerchief in the other, with a horrified expression. The guards guarding around him bowed their heads one after another. Eunuch Hong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, let's go back to the imperial temple first. The emperor also needs to take charge of the overall situation. The Empress loses her beloved son..."

"She lost her beloved son, why didn't I do it?" Emperor Yuan shouted: "She knew that Zhao'er was not that material, but she insisted on pushing him to a position that did not belong to him. Who is this time?"

Eunuch Hong secretly thought that there was a case of the East Palace and the Princess's Mansion, and who else dared to act in the imperial temple where he prayed for blessings. His eyes fell on the blood parquet. Could it be... Princess Jinhua?

He was so shocked by his guess that his scalp was numb and he definitely did not dare to say another word. Fortunately, Emperor Yuan finally returned to the imperial temple first. When the crowd saw him come back with a knife, he held a blood parquet in his hand, and they all dared not let out.

Because Xiao Lingzhao was assassinated and died, the body was still placed in the courtyard outside the kitchen. The abbot of the imperial temple was kneeling around the corpse with a group of monks, holding Buddhist beads and chanting Buddha's name. The arrows on the corpse were still not pulled out. Queen Chen sat next to the corpse, with no spirit in her eyes.

She grabbed one of Xiao Lingzhao's hand and held it tightly. When Emperor Yuan returned, she did not move at all when everyone saluted. Emperor Yuan came to the corpse and saw that Xiao Lingzhao's eyes were slightly opened, he raised his hand to apply his eyes on him, and finally closed his eyes.

Empress Chen finally looked up when she saw Emperor Yuan’s actions. This time she looked full of blood: “Your Majesty, you see, our Zhaoer has gone. He is Your Majesty’s first child and our only bone and blood.”

There was a slight crack in Emperor Yuan's eyebrows and Empress Chen finally caught a look of sadness and sneered: "Who did our Zhaoer do this? Please give him the truth for the sake of his eldest son and let him leave with peace of mind."

As soon as these words were said, several concubines and princes bowed their heads one after another. The second prince cursed in his heart, "It's so damn, he didn't do anything this time. Who knew that such a thing would happen? It was clearly the prince who disappeared, so why did the eldest prince be assassinated?

Is this arguing, and whether I want to blame them, who did it, the third, the fourth, or the others, and then look at the examiners and the examiners, they all dare not say anything, just because they want to cover their ears.

Emperor Yuan threw down the knife and came to the corpse. He looked at the arrow and suddenly reached out and pulled it out fiercely. As soon as the arrow was out, blood splashed out. Queen Chen did not avoid it and was splattered with blood. Her expression was not changed at all, and she looked at Emperor Yuan with a steady look.

The arrow is extremely ordinary, without the standard, and it should be made by hand. The other party does not want to leave any clues. I heard that it was coming from the pagoda. Emperor Yuan looked over. The distance between the dinner hall and the pagoda was not close, and the assassin's ability to penetrate the sun for a hundred steps was extraordinary!

The guards came to report that they only found a few mud footprints in the pagoda. They should have climbed into the Buddhist temple from the mountain, avoided the guards, and assassinated from the pagoda. At that time, they were in chaos, and the guards of the Buddhist temple were inevitably loopholes. The assassin should have escaped into the mountain.

After the guards finished reporting, they didn't dare to show their anger. Emperor Yuan waved his hand and said, "All my beloved ministers are frightened, let's retreat for the time being. The concubines and the emperor stay. Yao Jing, you lead a team of people to search the temple again, be sure to find clues related to the assassin."

Commander Yao was about to take the order, Emperor Yuan said again: "Another team of people went out of the temple to meet Commander Meng and listen to his assignment."

"Yes, Your Majesty." When Commander Yao went down, he saw the queen glance at His Majesty. The resentment in his eyes was unconcealed. He was shocked and quickly went out to set up the formation while Emperor Yuan did not punish him.

Bai Beitang led a group of ministers to leave, and the dining hall suddenly became much quieter. Looking at the concubines and princes who were still kneeling on the ground, Emperor Yuan sat down and sighed: "Get up, let's leave the body of the eldest prince to the abbot to deal with it, so he can be peaceful and peaceful."

This is what she meant to let the abbot pass over for her. The abbot of the Buddhist temple stood up when she heard this. Empress Chen wanted to say something when she saw this, but she finally shut up. It was what she wanted to make Xiao Lingzhao peaceful after her death.

Xiao Lingyu looked outside, but did not see Qin Feng and others returning, and he didn't know what happened outside. He had some bad premonitions and sighed quietly. Xiao Linghui, opposite, looked up into his sad face, and his heart was also rushing.

Empress Chen will definitely not take Xiao Lingzhao's death lightly. If there is a clue pointing to the other three princes, how could she give up?

For a moment, everyone thought about it and did not dare to ask what happened outside the temple!

In the mountains and forests outside the Buddhist temple, people gathered in front of a deep pool under the cliff. On one side, there were pieces of clothing worn by "Xiao Lingyao" hanging on the branches. Qin Feng pulled it off and recognized it as the streamer brocade used in the palace. This fabric is indeed the clothes worn by Xiao Lingyao today.

"Mr. Prince Concubine, your highness and the assassin probably fell into the deep pool." Meng Tianqi said standing by the deep pool.

Qin Feng looked at the green and quiet water in the deep pool. Even though the apricot blossoms were blooming, the temperature in the mountains was still low, and the water in the deep pool was biting cold. He felt a jaw in his heart. If he hadn't known that the woman who fell was definitely not her, he would not dare to think about the consequences of falling.
