After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Qin Xuechuan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Xianglu to tell him this directly.

Qin Xuechuan smiled: "Uncle, what are you talking about..."

Xianglu looked at him: "Do you think I'm bluffing you?"

Qin Xuechuan replied: "Of course I don't dare, you are my uncle, naturally my uncle wouldn't lie to me, right?"

Just now he always referred to himself as "I", but now he calls himself "Bengong" to Xianglu.Xianglu is not a fool, he naturally knows that Qin Xuechuan was a relative who referred to him as "you and me" just now, but now he is a monarch and minister.

Xianglu knelt in front of Qin Xuechuan at this moment: "This king should do his best for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan quickly helped him up: "My uncle can understand things like this, I am really pleased, I also think that one day after I ascend the Great Treasure, my uncle will still be so loyal to me."

When Xianglu heard his words, his eyebrows moved slightly, and after a while he showed a smile: "Naturally, the Nanling family will always be loyal to His Highness, and this king's loyalty to the crown prince is not only due to the friendship of a monarch and his ministers, but also to the concubine Xiang. The reason. Axue, do you want to hear your mother's story?"

Qin Xuechuan had always heard that Xiang Muling was a strange woman, so of course he was curious about his mother.

"Speak, uncle, I'm listening."

Xianglu smiled and nodded, he walked to the tombstone and stroked the inscription on it: "Your mother, Xiang Muling, was a talented and beautiful woman in Fengdu back then. Many young talents came to propose marriage. There is a small country with us. When the Chu State went to war, our Great Chu was suffering from a drought and the army was short of food. If we fought with that country at that time, the Chu State would be in danger of subjugation. It was your mother who agreed to the request of the enemy emperor."

When Qin Xuechuan heard what he said, his eyes suddenly widened: "What?"

Xianglu smiled at his surprised expression, and continued: "Listen to me and speak slowly. Your mother agreed to the enemy's marriage request, and then married to the enemy's country with some maids and generous dowries. However, on the third day after your mother was married, the emperor of the enemy country died suddenly suddenly, and his relatives forced him into the palace, but Mu Ling returned to Chu State safely. Of course, she was the only one."

Qin Xuechuan felt even more incredible after hearing this story.

"so……"

Xianglu continued: "So, in fact, it was Mu Ling who killed the emperor on the wedding night, and it was she who provoked the enemy's internal relations. She destroyed that country by herself. Later, I personally killed her Sent to the palace to marry the emperor."

So that's the case, no wonder Xiang Muling in other people's mouth is a godlike woman, it can be seen that when a woman is ruthless, there is nothing wrong with a man.Besides, there are many countries that perished because of women in history.

"Then mother concubine and father emperor really love each other?" Qin Xuechuan asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

If they really love each other, why would the emperor treat her child as a pawn, and why wouldn't the people in the palace mention her?

Xianglu raised his head after hearing his question, but he didn't answer Qin Xuechuan's question.

Qin Xuechuan seems to have found the answer in his expression, Xiang Muling probably doesn't like the emperor, right?Moreover, what Xiang Muling did before marrying the emperor shows what a powerful woman she is.

In ancient times, gentleness and obedience were the most important things for women. How could a woman with this temperament marry someone she didn't like at all because of the fate arranged by her family?

After a while, Xianglu turned around and answered Qin Xuechuan: "Yes, your mother really likes him."

Qin Xuechuan: "?"

Now Qin Xuechuan is a little confused, what happened to Xiang Muling, a strange woman, during those few years in the palace?Since she really loves the emperor and Qin Yuan really dotes on her, why did she become like this in the end?

Qin Xuechuan wanted to ask something again, but before he could say anything, Xianglu patted him on the shoulder: "You have to believe that the Nanling family will be your backing. Uncle knows what you are worried about, so don't worry, Axue. Although the other princes are powerful in the court, they are not half of the Nanling family, as long as we don't fall, you will always be the prince until the day you ascend the throne."

What Xianglu said was like giving Qin Xuechuan a shot of reassurance.

Qin Xuechuan used to doubt Xianglu's intentions, but now it seems that he really wants to support himself to the throne of God, and the reason he wants to support himself is because he is his sister's child.

Naturally, the logic of saying this is not wrong, Qin Xuechuan dispelled all the previous suspicions for the time being, he looked at Xianglu and nodded: "Thank you uncle for making plans for this palace, and this palace will definitely keep its position as the crown prince. "

Xianglu smiled: "I knew that you are most similar to your mother's disposition."

After paying homage to Xiangmu Ling, Qin Xuechuan returned to the palace.

***

After one night, several major events suddenly occurred in Fengdu.

Several officials in the imperial court all died inexplicably overnight, and there was no external injury on their bodies, and there was no sign of poisoning. This method of death is really strange.

On the second night, people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple were ordered to investigate the case. The forensics inspected the body of the deceased carefully, but they still did not find any clues.The case ruled that the officials died of illness.

It's just that it's not normal for so many officials to die of illness on the same day, but the people of Dali Temple also checked and found no evidence that they died unexpectedly.

Qin Xuechuan laughed when he found out about this, of course they couldn't find evidence, because the murder weapon was a needle, and the needle was on the top of the head.Moreover, the people in Dali Temple have always done things with ease, so they won't find out there.

The few things Ah Ying did for him were indeed very secretive and neat.

Among these officials, one of them, Zuo Ling, who served in Dali Temple, died.At this moment, Qin Xuechuan spoke to the emperor, saying that although Chang Jianzhi had neglected his duty during the winter hunting, he had always been cautious and quick in doing things, so he directly recommended him as Marble Leader to assist Dali Temple in handling the case.

Of course, the important ministers who are not with him in the court strongly oppose it, because they say that the Chang family already holds real power far away at the border. If Chang Jianzhi is allowed to enter Dali Temple, the power of the Chang family will be increased, which is not good for the emperor. .

But Qin Xuechuan didn't think so, and Xianglu also spoke for him, and the emperor couldn't refuse, so Chang Jianzhi became the assistant leader of Dali Temple. Carry out handover work.Since Chang Jianzhi has been used by Qin Xuechuan, there must be someone from him in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, so it is more convenient to do things like this.

Moreover, Chang Jianzhi had no direct relationship with Qin Xuechuan before, so no one would think of them as being together.What's more, Qin Xuechuan never asked about political affairs before, so he finally mentioned a word to help Xianglu speak.

Compared with Xianglu who asked Chang Jianzhi to be the marble leader, Qin Xuechuan quickly agreed, presumably Qin Yuan would not be able to refuse.One is because of Xianglu's face, and the other is that he, the prince, spoke up.

Qin Yuan has long wanted to kill the family, but now he has to obey the Nanling family. After all, the Nanling family has many followers in Dachu, and it cannot be eliminated overnight.

***

Those people Qin Xuechuan ordered Ah Ying to kill, their fatal wounds were all on their heads. Maybe someone worked to find out, but Qin Xuechuan had already secretly planted people in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, so the result they got was naturally death from illness .Now add Chang Jianzhi, presumably without Qin Xuechuan's words, Chang Jianzhi will also find out who used his sister Chang Biyun to threaten him.

In this way, this matter is much easier to handle.

And what Qin Xuechuan asked Ah Ying to get rid of were all those who wanted to harm him later, maybe he was afraid of being poisoned, and recently he always felt in a trance, thinking that someone was going to harm him.Although his illness is lingering and repeated, he is not a fool, and his IQ will not be lowered because of illness.

Qin Xuechuan already knew who those people who spread rumors were.And among those ugly words, the only ones who hated Concubine Xiang so much in the palace were the concubines in the emperor's harem.

And the only ones who blatantly coveted the crown prince's position were the concubine Shugui's mother and son.

Xiao Yu spread the rumors that he was pestering him just to discredit him, but Concubine Shu's every word not only brought Qin Xuechuan, but also Xiang Muling by the way.

This noble concubine Shu used to be a maid beside Concubine Xiang. Although she is now a concubine and is very popular in the harem, she seems to be confused about her identity.Even if she had the opportunity to cling to the emperor's favor and give birth to a prince, her original identity was still a lowly maid.

She still has that inferiority complex in her bones, in order to hide this inferiority complex, that's why she wins over the courtiers, covers the sky with one hand in the harem, and even wants to murder the prince.

Qin Xuechuan thought that on the day of winter hunting, the first group of people who wanted to assassinate him was probably sent by Concubine Shu.And those people don't look like well-trained dead soldiers. I'm afraid they are stragglers from the rivers and lakes where Concubine Shu found them.It's just that those people were all buried in Hangu, and now there is no proof of death.

Concubine Shu is stupid, and people can tell at a glance that she did what she did.Qin Xuechuan thought that she was no longer a threat to him, but what he was most worried about at the moment was the group of assassins who came later...

Those assassins are different from the assassins sent by Concubine Shu. They don't talk nonsense, and their killing methods are clean and neat.

In this Fengdu, apart from Concubine Shu, who coveted his crown prince's throne for her son, who else hated him enough to kill him?

Moreover, during the winter hunting, he was once attacked by an unknown arrow in the back when he was playing drums in the arena. The emperor looked at the arrow with a complicated expression, but later said it was fine, it was just an ordinary arrow shot here by mistake That's all.

Of course, Qin Xuechuan didn't believe such words, maybe the emperor also knew something inside.
