Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Wu Zechen looked at Xia Luotong's gentle and concerned eyes, and felt that his heart calmed down a lot. Then he slowly asked: "Thank you, Tong'er, but what kind of poison can you see?"
Wu Zechen also knows very well that after more than ten years, it is impossible to analyze the complete ingredients in detail, and Prince Lao An has passed away, and even if he makes an antidote, it will be of no use, so now he wants to know the most What's more, what forces took action back then!
When he was young, he couldn't do anything, but now he will get it back one by one!
"If my analysis is correct, my father should have been poisoned by three kinds of poisons back then. The main components of two of the poisons are grown in the North and South Xinjiang. They are very rare poisons and are extremely difficult to obtain." Xia Luotong said , his face became colder and colder, "As for the third type, it is not very toxic, but it is a chronic poison that is extremely difficult to detect. Although this kind of poison is difficult to detect, it needs to be taken for a long time to have an effect, so it is only possible It was the people around me who did it.”
Xia Luotong looked at Wu Zechen intently, and Wu Zechen looked at Xia Luotong and understood her meaning almost instantly... Concubine Xu Side!
The Xu family had already joined the prince's camp when the prince was young. Later, Concubine Xu was forcibly given to Prince An's Mansion by the emperor. As the concubine of Prince Xian'an, even if Prince Xianan disliked Concubine Xu, Concubine, but for the sake of the emperor’s sake, it’s hard to go too far, so Concubine Xu has many opportunities to get close to Prince Xian’an.
In addition, there are actually some situations that Xia Luotong is not aware of. When Prince Xian'an was dying, he ordered his cronies to escort Wu Zechen overnight to escape from the capital to the west. The first person to be discovered and stopped in the palace was Xu Zotai Concubine.
Then Wu Zechen finally got out of the city gate and was chased again. The only way he could get the news so quickly was because of Concubine Xu Side!
So if it was said that Concubine Xu Side had nothing to do with the poisoning, Wu Zechen would be the first to not believe it!
"No one from the Xu family can escape." Wu Zechen's cold voice sounded like it came from hell, with a heart-stopping chill. "It seems that the Wu family and the Yue family are also involved, which is good."
The Wu family and the Yue family are the mother clans of the second prince, King Jin, and the third prince, King Qin. The headquarters of these two families happen to be in the North and South Xinjiang. Even if there are rare poisons, based on their control over these two places, It's not that difficult to get.
"The Wu family and the Yue family? What benefits can they gain from taking action against the father?" Xia Luotong asked with a raised eyebrow. In her opinion, if Prince Xian'an dies, the military power in his hands should return to the emperor's hands. That's right, if that's the case, then why are these two families still spending so much time?
Wu Zechen obviously saw Xia Luotong's doubts, so he explained: "His control over the court is actually far less powerful than he thought. Many of his cronies are actually not completely loyal to them." his."
Xia Luotong heard the sarcasm in Wu Zechen's tone and immediately understood. What Wu Zechen meant in these words was that many of the emperor's cronies had already joined the team and were not absolutely loyal to the emperor. !
Wu Zechen continued with a cold face: "If the Western military power is taken back, it will be handed over to these people, so these two families do have the motive to do this. As long as the Western military power is taken back, it will be time for them to carve it up."
"Have these two families been thinking about this so early?" Xia Luotong frowned.
The prince, Wu Zechen and the second prince Jin Wang are all about the same age, and the third prince is only less than two years younger than them. In other words, these two families have been together since the princes were only six or seven years old. Planning has already begun.
"Concubine Wu and Concubine De gave birth to princes one after another, and the two families were naturally worried. Moreover, the emperor valued and trusted these families, which naturally gave them hope. As long as the prince they supported If they can ascend to that position, wouldn’t they be able to reach the sky in one step?”
Seeing Wu Zechen say such words with a cold face, Xia Luotong felt unspeakably distressed. After all, it was Wu Zechen's biological parents who were sacrificed in the end.
"Those who have harmed their father and mother will pay the price." Xia Luotong stretched out his hands to wrap around Wu Zechen's palm and looked at him firmly.
Wu Zechen watched Xia Luotong's expression gradually slow down, hugged her into his arms, buried his head in her lightly fragrant neck, and said in a low voice: "Tong'er, I am lucky to have you by my side. .”
While Shaoguang Pavilion was full of warmth, the main room of Xia Mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere. Mrs. Li was like a dynamite barrel that could be ignited at any time, with a restless look on her face.
"What time has it been and he hasn't come back yet?! Are you really brave now? Do you think that since you have sat on the position of Minister of Rites, you will not take me seriously?!" Mrs. Li yelled irritably. With.
Then she slammed the table, got angry and scolded the maid beside her, "Trash! What are you doing here? Even if you have a dog, you are smarter than you! Why don't you go to the door and keep an eye on me? If the master comes back, just give him to me." Bring it here!"
The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head and retreated tremblingly. She walked quickly towards the door of the mansion, for fear that if she took a step too slow, her master would be angry and punished.
As for Li's disrespect and contempt for Xia Zhihe, the maid didn't care at all, because Li had always been like this on weekdays, and the servants had long been accustomed to it. Even the master Xia Zhihe was completely obedient to Li, and the servants could still Do you have any opinions?
Xia Zhilu, who was originally waiting for Xia Zhihe with Mrs. Li in the main room, was already a little drowsy, but was suddenly woken up by Mrs. Li's roar.
Xia Zhilu patted her heart to calm her frightened heart. She originally wanted to complain, but seeing Li's angry face, she hesitated for a moment and swallowed it.
Xia Zhilu knew very well why her mother was waiting here to wait for her father to come back. Naturally, she wanted to ask her father about the Sun family property.
But to be honest, she doesn't care too much about this matter. She has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child. What's more, in her opinion, the Sun family is just a wealthy family. Even if they are merchants, is it possible that they can be better than her own family?
And another reason why she doesn't take this matter seriously is that she feels that sooner or later, the position of Princess An will be hers, and Xia Luotong's things will also fall into her hands, so she just treats it as Xia Luotong was just taking care of the properties for himself and was not as angry as Mrs. Li.
But naturally she would not tell Mrs. Li what she was thinking. After all, it was Li who tried her best to prevent this imperial marriage in the first place, and she would definitely not allow her to enter Prince An's palace again.
