"I think this matter may not be that simple." Yuan Ji was a cunning person. He smelled an unusual question from the incident of the eldest prince Zhao Xuan taking people out of the city.

"It's not that simple?" Hou Chong was slightly stunned: "What does Secretary Yuan mean?"

"The third prince Zhao Lun was assassinated. As long as he was not stupid, he could guess that the assassination was either us or the eldest prince Zhao Xuan. You all know what kind of person Zhao Lun is. How can he not be angry today? In anger, he could do anything, especially since he still had the forged will in his hand!" Yuan Ji said: "And the eldest prince Zhao Xuan, Zhao Lun's brother, naturally knows Zhao Lun very well. At this moment, isn't he afraid of Zhao Lun's revenge?"

"The Yuan Shangshu means that Zhao Lun is leaving the city at this moment to avoid the limelight?" Hou Yi said.

Yuan Ji nodded and said, "This is a great possibility! Now, it is a foregone conclusion that the third prince Zhao Lun ascended the throne. Zhao Xuan didn't know that we had taken Liu Bingshi and lost his trump card at this time. Naturally, he was panicked and was afraid of being retaliated by Zhao Lun. Therefore, he was very likely to leave the city at this moment and avoid the limelight."

Hou Chong, who was in a relaxed mood and did not take this matter seriously, had a slightly more righteous expression, thought for a while, and said, "What the Secretary of Yuan said makes sense. Now the eldest prince does not have much advantage. He may have guessed that the will in Zhao Lun's hand was fake, but there was no evidence, and he did not know that we had obtained the evidence. Therefore, now he must be in deep despair. In addition, he knew Zhao Lun's character, so it is indeed very likely that he would avoid the limelight."

In fact, no one has found out the truth about the poisoning of the old emperor, and the suspicion of the second prince Zhao Ke cannot be washed away. If Yuan Ji and the others defeated Zhao Lun through Doctor Liu, the biggest beneficiary is not the second prince Zhao Ke, nor Yuan Ji and others, but the eldest prince Zhao Xuan!

The second prince is still in prison. Even if Zhao Lun is moved down, he has no way to ascend the throne immediately. Instead, the eldest prince can get a bargain and gain an advantage.

Unfortunately, Yuan Ji and others had done a lot of confidentiality about Doctor Liu's affairs, and Zhao Lun did not dare to tell Doctor Liu's affairs with great fanfare. Therefore, Zhao Xuan did not know about this matter and did not know that the matter had turned around. In addition, Gu Lin's disappearance always made Zhao Xuan unable to sleep or eat, so Zhao Xuan chose to escape.

Yuan Ji and others were also not clear about Gu Lin, so it is understandable that Zhao Xuan chose to go out of the city to avoid the limelight at this time.

"The question now is whether Zhao Xuan will come back tomorrow." Hou Yi said.

Yuanji thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be."

"I think so too!" Hou Chong continued: "He was unable to kill Zhao Lun. He must have thought that Zhao Lun must succeed in ascending the throne. He was afraid of being retaliated by Zhao Lun, so how dare he come back?"

"If this is true, that would be great!" Hou Yi said with a smile: "He is not in this palace, and he has given us more room to display."

Yuan Ji and the other two were very confident in defeating Zhao Lun, but after defeating Zhao Lun, their next target was the eldest prince Zhao Xuan. Although Zhao Xuan was a little confused and even showed his trump card, he had no obvious mistakes and was the eldest prince. Therefore, Zhao Xuan was still a big threat to them.

However, this threat became much smaller because of knowing all the trump cards of the eldest prince and his panic.

Now that Zhao Xuan has voluntarily escaped from the city and may even not come back for the time being, then they have a lot of room for operation. Before the eldest prince Zhao Xuan returns, they can investigate the poisoning of the old emperor to the fullest, and help Zhao Ke clear up the grievances. As long as they find the real murderer who poisoned the old emperor before Zhao Xuan comes back, then even if Zhao Xuan comes back, they are sure to support Zhao Ke to the throne!

"Perhaps, we can let him stay outside Yanyang City forever!" Hou Chong narrowed his eyes and said with a slightly gloomy look: "It will never be able to return to the palace!"

Yuan Ji and Hou Yi's hearts were thrilled when they heard Hou Yi's words, and they instantly understood what Hou Chong's words meant.

If it were in the past, they might have even stopped Hou Chong. After all, murdering a prince is not a trivial matter. Although it is not as good as murdering the emperor, it is also a death sentence.

But now they are different. Now they control the overall situation. If they really kill Zhao Xuan and defeat Zhao Lun, who will still cause trouble for them? I am afraid that this matter will always be buried deep in the ground and will not be known to outsiders.

Therefore, assassinating the prince now is not a big deal for them.

Killing Zhao Xuan is of many benefits for them. Before, Zhao Xuan lived in the palace and it was inconvenient for them to take action, but now Zhao Xuan has taken the initiative to leave Yanyang City, so there are more opportunities to take action.

"I think it's feasible!" Hou Yi said with a serious expression: "Now the eldest prince took the initiative to leave Yanyang City. As we all know, the territory of our Yanfeng Kingdom is not peaceful now. There are rebels everywhere. It is very likely that the eldest prince will be attacked by rebels on the road. Kill him and push this matter to the rebels. Everything has nothing to do with us!"

Hou Yi's words are not without reason. Everyone knows that the rebels are everywhere now. As long as they are in the wild, they may encounter rebels at any time. Even around Yanyang City, there are many rebels. Not many people were surrounded by Zhao Xuan. It is completely reasonable to be attacked by rebels. As long as they are clean, no one will associate this matter with them. If they take a step back, even if someone suspects that they did it, there will be no evidence.

"I agree!" Yuan Ji said. Although he is very old, he is still decisive in killing and will never slouch when it is time to take action: "If you kill Zhao Xuan, then there will be no obstacles in front of us. Even if you cannot find the murderer who poisoned the late emperor for the time being, it will not have much impact. At that time, everyone knows that the Second Prince is powerful. If we find a scapegoat, the Second Prince will naturally come out to ascend the throne and become emperor."
