Chapter 402 Entering the River?
There was a rush of footsteps behind him. Cao Jing turned around and saw that the person who came was Meng Tianqi: "I pay homage to the consort. The Holy One has given orders to return to the imperial temple immediately with the consort and stay in the mountains and forests."
Emperor Yuan issued an order, and Qin Feng sighed: "I obey the decree."
The atmosphere in the imperial temple was very solemn, and all the places that needed to be searched had been searched, including the residences of the concubines and princes.
Xiao Lingzhao's body was removed. Queen Chen did not want to be separated from her parents and children, so she took people to live in the place where the body was stored and stayed there. Several eminent monks also stayed there to recite Buddhist scriptures. The place seemed to be a world of its own, and no one came.
disturb.
The rest of the concubines and princes were all in their residences and could not leave even half a step. At this critical moment, they knew to be cautious in their words and actions. If they said too much, they would make many mistakes. It would be easier to just stay behind closed doors.
What Qin Feng and his party saw when they returned to the Imperial Temple was an unusually quiet situation. The blood outside the dining hall had long been washed away. If they hadn't known about Xiao Lingzhao's death, it would almost have been an illusion that nothing had happened.
Qin Feng stopped and looked at the pagoda where the assassin was said to be hiding, secretly thinking that the timing was too coincidental.
Xiao Lingyao disappeared, and attention was diverted outside the temple. The pagoda started to take Xiao Lingzhao's life. Is it the mantis stalking the cicada with the oriole behind, or did Xiao Lingyao change his plan temporarily?
The assassins attracted were intended to assassinate the dragon. If Xiao Lingyao's disappearance was not voluntary, there must be someone else involved. Who could it be?!
What is the other party's intention? Is it to murder Xiao Lingzhao, the former prince of the East Palace who lost power?
The pagoda in front of us is towering, and it still retains its momentum at night. To snipe the target from such a distance is the work of a master. Even so, he was able to escape from the heavily guarded imperial temple. This person is very skilled.
When Xiao Lingzhao was assassinated, the fake Xiao Lingyao had already gone to the mountains and forests with the man in black. Where was the real Xiao Lingyao? Qin Feng had countless doubts in his mind, and unexpectedly Feng Bao rushed over with a cry in his voice: "Prince-in-law!
"
Feng Bao mingled with the group of servants, and didn't know much at first. They were driven to a side hall and were not allowed to go out. Unfortunately, they didn't have any lunch, and it wasn't until the evening that the monks brought it.
Fast meal.
Later, they were finally able to go out and slowly hear some news. Feng Bao was now in despair: "Are they telling the truth that His Highness fell from the mountain?"
"It's hard to say." Qin Feng looked at Feng Bao, who knew nothing, and sighed: "Still searching."
Feng Bao knew what those people were saying as soon as he heard it. Thinking that a living person like Xiao Lingyao suddenly disappeared and might turn into a corpse, even he felt heartbroken. Looking at Qin Feng again, it seemed that his whole body had disappeared.
It's like all the strength has been drained away.
"Prince-in-law, please go back to your room and rest first. There are guards outside." Feng Bao wiped the corners of his eyes and muttered: "You are about to collect the silver from the spring business, how can your highness be reluctant to come back?"
By the way, she loves money the most. Her majestic princess always complains about being poor and wants to make a lot of money to support the army. She is about to get the money. If she lives, she will definitely come back to collect cash without stopping.
Qin Feng was just thinking about this when he suddenly remembered what she said when joking with him - "If I have any good intentions, the profit share of Chunwei's business cannot be less. Even if I am not here, there will still be Zhao..."
Even if she is not here and there is Zhao Lun, she still wants the money. If she can't accept it, let Zhao Lun collect it.
There is also that sentence - "If you want to be involved in life and death, you should not be afraid of life and death."
Life and death are not taboos? There is only one life for a person, so not everyone has the opportunity to live another life through the resurrection of a dead body.
There were guards patrolling the temple all the time. The flying dragon army was invisible again, making it difficult to catch the head and tail. Qin Feng and Cao Jing looked at each other. With a look from him, Cao Jing followed Zhao Lun, while Qin Feng returned to the bedroom.
As soon as the door was opened, the oil lamp was almost blown out by the cold wind.
After driving Feng Bao away, Qin Feng stayed alone in the bedroom and closed his eyes quietly.
Emperor Yuan heard Zhao Lun's "sister"!
Although the plan has gone awry, Zhao Lun's return to the Xiao family and becoming the fifth prince has obviously begun!
One night passed, when the ministers got up, they received an oral order from Emperor Yuan, asking them to return first and not to say anything about what happened in the imperial temple. Zheng Xiao wanted to see Qin Feng before leaving, but to no avail, so he had to leave first.
As soon as he entered the city, he first killed Huang Tang's family. Qin Feng didn't know about it. He didn't know about it until he got up. Now the only people left in the imperial temple are members of the royal family and a group of waiters. Feng Bao
When he came in, he lowered his head and looked dejected.
Qin Feng was about to speak when someone knocked on the door. The person who came in was the fourth prince Xiao Lingyu. Feng Bao hurriedly saluted and retreated.
"Husband-in-law, our father wants us to leave first, leaving only the Feilong Army." Xiao Lingyu said: "The eldest brother is dead, the life and death of the emperor's sister are unknown, but the martial arts competition is still coming, so the father is going to keep a low profile and wants us to leave first.
The royal brother’s body will be escorted by special personnel.”
The royal people spoke cryptically, and Qin Feng also knew that they were evacuating in two batches to divert the people's attention, and transport Xiao Lingzhao's body back to Prince Yong's Mansion without outsiders knowing. How to explain the death of the eldest prince to the outside world, Emperor Yuan himself
Call the shots.
Qin Feng didn't know why no one informed him, but the fourth prince informed him, and asked Long Qi and Feng Bao to come in and pack things. He was about to go out, but Xiao Lingyu was puzzled: "Even if we go out now, our father will not see us."
"Why?" Qin Feng was shocked.
"My father summoned Mr. Zhao this morning. Mr. Zhao has not come out yet. Only Eunuch Hong came out to deliver the oral message. Eunuch Hong came in a hurry, so he asked me to inform my consort," Xiao Lingyu frowned: "This Mr. Zhao was a little nervous yesterday.
Shameless, rude and disrespectful to the emperor’s sister.”
Qin Feng is in trouble and can't tell. You can't say that that person's blood is thicker than water and he's so impatient? That's not someone else, he's also your imperial brother?
At this time, in the Baofeng Palace, Zhao Lun was kneeling upright in front of the emperor. His eyes were bloodshot after not sleeping all night. Emperor Yuan put his hands behind his back and wandered repeatedly not far away. As the night passed, Xiao Lingyao's trace continued to be unknown!
No one can be seen alive, no corpses can be seen dead, the underground river finally flows out of the ground, merges into the river on the ground, and finally enters the river!
No one dared to tell Emperor Yuan that the two corpses must have drifted into the river and could not be found. It was difficult to violate the sacred order, so they could only grit their teeth and continue searching along the river. As the night passed, Emperor Yuan seemed to have aged a lot.
Ever since Emperor Yuan said, "What do you have to say?", Zhao Lun has always gritted his teeth and refused to speak. When he asked too many questions, he just kowtowed, stood up, straightened his back, and continued to resist.
Eunuch Hong watched with fear. If it was his master's temperament, he would have been beaten to death in this situation in the past. Why is he so patient now? But because of Zhao Lun calling the princess "Sister."
"Master Zhao, why are you doing this?" Eunuch Hong secretly thought that this bone is too hard: "Your Excellency reacted violently yesterday, why did you address His Highness like that? Your Majesty just wants to know the inside story."
