138 Death Trap

Because of the second prince’s matter, the Queen’s birthday would naturally not be able to go on. After Yi’s father-in-law left, Princess Antai took Mu Peilan’s mother and daughter back to Yichang Palace. The two princesses, Jinglong and Yingluo, were already waiting in the palace. The prince entered the palace before the assassination incident. Originally planned to go to the queen to salute the queen and then to find his mother Princess Antai. I didn’t expect to hear such terrifying news halfway through the road. At this time, going to the queen’s Ningyi Palace was just to add chaos. So after the two sisters discussed, they diverted to Yilan Palace.

Princess Antai ordered her confidant **** to guard the palace gate strictly, and brought her two daughters and Mu Peilan mother and daughter to the main hall, and called a big **** to ask about the second prince's assassination.

The surname of the eunuch, He, has been staying at Yilan Palace today. Princess Antai also has some eyeliners in the palace. When such a big event happened, someone immediately sent the news through various channels.

He Gonggong listened to Princess Antai's question, and methodically sent all the news he received.

"You said that the second prince and his eight entourages were all killed by one palm? And there is no trace of fighting?" Princess Antai frowned.

"Yes, the guards who went to the investigation site said that the censer in the main hall contained crispy muscles and cartilage residue. The second prince and others were mostly weakened and unable to resist because of this kind of scent. The palace where the second prince was found Yuan originally lived with two talented people. They were moved to another place a few days ago. Only a few court ladies and eunuchs were left to take care of them. Today is the Queen’s birthday. Those court ladies and eunuchs happened to be temporarily transferred to work. The gate was also locked. It is said that after the queen discovered that the second prince was missing, she sent a lot of people to search, only to find that the gate of the palace was hidden, and the brass lock in front of the gate was missing.

Princess Antai asked a few more words before waving her father-in-law to retreat, turning around and waving away the other court ladies and eunuchs who were waiting, and even the two daughters were sent off to rest. Only her and Mu Peilan were left in the hall.

Princess Antai sighed: "I have always disliked this son born to a queen, but it was my aunt who called me for more than 20 years. Today I heard that he was brutally killed at a young age. I really don't know what it feels like."

Although Mu Peilan's mother and daughter can understand her feelings, from their perspective, they feel that the second prince is more than guilty. Not to mention how he and Xia Ge's party persecute ministers who have different political opinions. He is alone. Today's intention to take Bai Fuling into captivity for raw rice to cook mature rice, forcing her to marry into the Prince's Mansion, is enough to squeeze the little sympathy in their hearts.

Princess Antai looked at Bai Fuling and said, "The queen seems to think that you have something to do with this matter. I heard that the first thing she did when she woke up was to ask Father Yi to take you to Ningyi Palace. Do you know why?"

Bai Fuling flattened his mouth and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said: "Today, my accident on the way to the Cymbidium Palace is probably related to the second prince."

Who is Princess Antai? As soon as I heard it, I understood that the girl who thought that she was with her son was safe, but the son died unexpectedly. All mothers would instinctively think that the death of the son was related to the girl.

"What happened on the road today?" Princess Antai wondered why the plan between the queen and the second prince died halfway through, and why the second prince and his men fell dead in the deserted palace, and panicked everywhere according to the queen. The act of sending someone to look for the second prince, that palace is obviously not the place where they originally agreed to "break the affair," why did the second prince go there?

Bai Fuling said: "Today I walked halfway in the sedan car, and the **** who was pulling the car suddenly turned to the fork in the road. I felt something was wrong and was about to ask, but suddenly he fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Danzhu and Banxia caught up and yelled for a few times, but he didn’t respond. I felt that this was a strange matter. There was no half-person nearby, so they got out of the sedan and asked them to pull the sedan back to the original road. Someone came to help, and then I met you."

She only concealed what happened to you. Danzhu and Banxia don’t even remember that they had been knocked out. They only remembered that Bai Fuling’s sedan suddenly turned. They chased up and wanted to ask questions, but they tripped over their skirts and fell a lot. When he drove up, the **** fainted. These are things that Bai Fuling asked them after Xiaoyou left. From their weird looks and no mention of Xiaoyou in their speech, she knew that these two court ladies were mostly hypnotized by Xiaoyou. The memory was forcibly modified by special means, so she didn't worry that they would fail to confess or leak her secrets.

Princess Antai knew that she didn’t need to lie to herself, and what happened today was full of conspiracy. It was obviously designed by someone in advance. Bai Fuling’s mother and daughter entered the palace without her even knowing it in advance, let alone them. This series of incidents was too coincidental, especially the **** who fainted inexplicably, easily made the plan between the queen and the second prince abort halfway, saved Bai Fuling, and indirectly caused the second prince on Huangquan Road—if not by fighting Calculating Bai Fuling's dirty idea, even in the palace, the second prince would not have only eight guards by his side. He originally did not want the inside story of this scandal to be known to too many people, but he did not expect to let the assassin have a chance to take advantage of it. machine.

I really don’t know who the mastermind will be behind the scenes. Not only can the assassin be lurking in the deep palace, but he also knows that there is no one in the palace today, and he has prepared the muscles and bones in advance, and there is a way to induce the second prince to take the initiative. Into the trap, so that he would kill them without knowing it... In fact, Princess Antai knew that there was someone who could do it, but she didn't dare to think deep down, if the tiger does not eat children, he will really do it for the power of the country. Kill your son like this?

Princess Antai shook her head vigorously, put aside the absurd thoughts in her mind, and cheered up: "I didn't expect you to run into such a thing once you entered the palace. The queen is probably already unreasonable now. I am afraid that she will find your mother and daughter at all costs. Trouble. Sister Perrin, I'm going to see the emperor and explain the matter with your mother and daughter. How about?"

Mu Peelan nodded and said, "That's all."

The people sent by Princess Antai soon returned to report that the emperor was in the Queen’s Ningyi Palace. The people in Yilan Palace were very clever and did not rush to Ningyi Palace to ask for a meeting. They just left one person outside the palace and planned to wait. When the emperor came out, he immediately went forward to report.

On the other side, Grandpa He received new news that the second prince’s fatal injury was in the abdomen. The emperor of the guard and Wu Zuo tested it together. They felt that the angle of the palm was weird, and from the palm injury of each person, it was speculated that the murderer was the same person. And the palm is as small as a child, but the palm is strong, mostly a dwarf master.

Bai Fuling listened to the side and couldn’t help beating the drums secretly in his heart, it really was the perverted kid Xiao You.

Others heard it but thought it was incredible. Princess Antai asked Mu Peilan, "Sister Peilan, you know the most, have you ever heard of such a powerful dwarf master in the rivers and lakes?"

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Peilan shook her head. The dwarf is physically incomplete and has different muscles and bones. How easy is it to cultivate superb martial arts? Not to mention the strong palm strength, he is short, light body and short hands. Even if there are dwarfs in the rivers and lakes with outstanding martial art, they are mostly experts in weapons.

While he was puzzled, Grandpa Lei, the **** chief beside the emperor, came to declare that the queen was too sad and could not take care of the matter, and Princess Antai was in charge of the affairs of the harem.

According to the usual rules, the queen can't care about things. It is usually the imperial concubine who presides over the affairs of the harem, but the emperor bypassed the imperial concubine Mao and let a married imperial sister like Princess Antai take over. Everyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something tricky.

The second prince from the queen and the grand prince from the concubine Mao have fought for the position of prince for many years. Now the second prince is accidentally assassinated in the palace. The most suspected ones are the concubine Mao and the grand prince, mother and son. How could it be possible to hand over the power of the harem? Concubine Mao's hand?

After receiving the order, Princess Antai was both happy and worried, and said: "Most of the emperor has convinced the queen that your mother and daughter have nothing to do with the assassination of the second prince, otherwise this matter of managing the harem will never be handed over to me. It's just that. , I will be busy."

Mu Peilan smiled slightly and said: "Shengming has never been the emperor. Naturally, we know that our mother and daughter are innocent." She said that there is no deep meaning. Princess Antai was shocked when she heard her, and she looked at her in horror, Mu Peilan gently He patted her arm and said: "You don't have to think too much, you are different from the emperor..."

Princess Antai gave a wry smile and stopped speaking.

After the imperial decree, Princess Antai immediately got busy. She also brought her two daughters to help together. The first thing to deal with was the surviving wives stranded in the Cymbidium Palace. Princess Antai asked the emperor for instructions, so she sent guards and eunuchs in batches. Escorting them out of the palace, the emperor decreed that Mu Peilan's mother and daughter would see him tomorrow~lightnovelpub.net~ Princess Antai turned her heart and kept some of her survivors, waiting for tomorrow to arrange to leave the palace.

On the surface, the reason is that it takes time to deal with the matter and ask each person to ask questions, but in fact it is to cover Mu Peilan’s mother and daughter. Imagine that except for such things in the palace, everyone else arranged to leave, leaving Mu Peilan mother and daughter alone for one more day. When it comes to the people who care about it, I don't know what bad words will come out.

So that night, Bai Fuling was still in the Yilan Palace. Princess Antai was busy with the affairs of the palace, Mu Peilan and Bai Fuling went into the room early to rest after dinner.

The two mothers and daughters lay side by side on the bed, Bai Fuling next to her mother, and the maids who were waiting for them were sent to the outside. In the hall quietly, you could even hear the sound of Bai Xueyu falling outside.

Mu Peilan suddenly whispered: "Have you seen the man who killed the second prince, right?" Mother and daughter connected to the heart, others might be fooled by Bai Fuling, but Mu Peilan, who cares about her every move, can detect Her normal things are different.

For example, when she found Bai Fuling this morning, she had the same vigilant posture as the little raccoon in her arms. For example, when she heard that the murderer was a dwarf master, she had a strange expression in her eyes. ()
