The people of Luoyang City would never have imagined that in less than half a month, they would be shocked by two shocking news again.

One is Song Duan, the Minister of the Taifu Temple who was suspected of instigating an assassin to assassinate Su Yao, the princess of Qi, committed suicide in prison by taking poison in fear of crime.

The other is Song Duan's sister Song Guifei, who was overly sad because of her younger brother's death, and then passed away.

For ordinary people, they just have one more thing to talk about after dinner. They feel that Song Duan, as the minister of the Taifu Temple, has a noble concubine sister and a prince's nephew to support him. Su Yao, Princess of Qi, who had no grievances with her, ended up committing suicide in fear of crime, and even caused her sister to die regretfully because of excessive grief. She really did it on her own.

But for many officials in the DPRK, they naturally would not believe that Concubine Song died because of excessive sadness, and concluded that there must be another mystery behind it.

Their reason is also very simple. If Song Duan said that he would assassinate Princess Qi Su Yao so that his nephew and prince could be canonized as the prince, this reason is somewhat far-fetched, because now the battle between King Qi and King Qin is in full swing. Wang Xiaojie's main concubine was assassinated, it was easy for people to suspect Qin Wang Xiao Huang, on the contrary, it was easy to damage Xiao Huang's reputation.

Moreover, if Song Duan really intended to prevent Qi Wang Xiao Jie from entering the East Palace through assassination, why didn't he send an assassin to assassinate Xiao Jie directly, but instead tried his best to assassinate his concubine Su Yao.After all, even if Su Yao died due to an assassination, the Su family will continue to fully support Qi Wang Xiao Jie with the relationship of Xiao Ke, the son of King Qi. The impact is not great.

Therefore, many people naturally believe that Song Duan did not simply commit suicide in fear of crime, nor was he the mastermind behind the assassination of Queen Qi Su Yao.

Thinking of his sister Song Guifei's bizarre death, they naturally have reason to suspect that Song Guifei is the one who ordered the assassin to assassinate Queen Qi Su Yao. Just act.

After all, Concubine Song, as the biological mother of Qin Wang Xiao Huang, naturally hopes that her child can aspire to the crown prince more than anyone else, and finally inherit the country of Daning. , so she has enough motivation to deal with the people around Qi Wang Xiao Jie.

Moreover, as officials in the court, they are naturally more informed than others. They also heard that Concubine Song seemed to have died in the prison of Dali Temple, and that her death was the same as that of Song Duan, all bleeding from the seven orifices. Terrible death...

The palace announced that Concubine Song died due to excessive grief, most likely just to save the royal family's last face. After all, if it is really a concubine who ordered an assassin to assassinate a prince, the news will only make the royal family lose face. Become the laughing stock of the world.

But in any case, with the passing away of Song Duan and Song Guifei, the assassination of Princess Qi has completely become an unsolved case. Although no one knows the truth, it has deeply affected the trend of seizing the throne.After all, King Xiao Huang of Qin has lost his mother, concubine and uncle at the same time, which also means that he has lost the support from the inner palace and the outer court at the same time, and now that his wife's family, the Langya Wang family, has declined, it is obvious that he no longer has the strength to compete with him. Qi Wang Xiao Jie is vying for the crown prince.

From this point of view, it will be a matter of time before King Qi Xiao Jie enters the East Palace.

Perhaps, for many courtiers, it is time for them to reconsider their position and standing.

But for many aristocratic families, it may not be a good thing that Xiao Jie is about to enter the East Palace.

……

Changning Palace.

In the imperial study room, when Xiao Jie looked at the last letter in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that Xiao Huang had escaped another catastrophe.

When the imperial concubine and her younger brother were poisoned and died in the prison of Dali Temple, although Xiao Ji immediately sent someone to block the news, he would not let his concubine die in such an unexplained manner, and immediately asked Qilinwei to investigate the matter secretly. Find out the truth within the time limit.

The Qilin Guard did not disappoint him. Commander Zhang Chu immediately led a search of Concubine Song's Zhicui Palace, and finally found this must-written book in her bedroom. The truth about Concubine Song's murder of her brother and suicide Since then understand.

According to Concubine Song's statement in her must-write book, she once inadvertently expressed emotion to her younger brother Song Duan, saying that the trend of seizing the heir is getting stronger and stronger, and the Su family is the biggest helper of King Xiao Jie of Qi, including Su Hong. Shangshu Zuopushe, with Su Jing as the governor of Jiaozhou, his son Xiao Huang would be very difficult to compete with Xiao Jie, if Xiao Jie didn't have Su Yao as the concubine, his son might be able to compete.

It's just that no one thought that the speaker had no intention of hearing and the listener had intention, that his younger brother Song Duan would keep these words firmly in his heart, and would contact an assassin behind his back to assassinate Princess Qi Su Yao, so that his affairs were revealed and he was arrested and imprisoned. hurt myself.

Concubine Song said that she didn't know that one of her unintentional words would cause such a catastrophe. She thought that she was sorry for King Qi and Princess Qi, and she was a failure of the Holy Grace. She was willing to live with her younger brother Song Duan Apologizing with death together...

Xiao Jie is very clear in his heart that the truth is not the case, and he knows that Concubine Song chose to sacrifice the lives of herself and her younger brother Song Duan to protect her son Xiao Huang.

Obviously, her goal has been achieved.

If before she and Song Duan died of poison, there were still people who doubted whether Xiao Huang was the mastermind behind the assassination of Su Yao, then after she and Song Duan died, this suspicion would disappear with their deaths.

After all, Concubine Song had a good reputation both inside and outside the palace. No one believed that she would be so cruel that she would kill her own brother by poisoning herself. They would only think that Song Duan made atonement with death under the persuasion of her sister.

Concubine Song Guifei committed suicide by taking poison along with her younger brother Song Duan, invisibly confirming the authenticity of the contents of her last book, making others believe that she really chose to apologize with death because of guilt in her heart, otherwise it would not be possible to explain why she would. Innocent committed suicide.

However, Xiao Jie still couldn't figure it out. Song Duan refused to admit to death, and Xiao Huang was far away in Liangzhou. How could Song Guifei be so sure that the assassination of Su Yao must have been done by Xiao Huang, so she made a poisonous killing of seven people? The crazy move of the younger brother to save his son.

It seems that if there is a chance, it is necessary to check who Song Guifei has met these days, maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries.

But anyway, Uncle Fu and Concubine Song are the two most important people in Xiao Huang's life, getting rid of them by himself is another unbearable blow for Xiao Huang.

At least that's what the system thinks:

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for successfully getting rid of the two most important people in Xiao Huang's life, capturing Xiao Huang's destiny value of 20000, and Xiao Huang's attributes -2."

"In addition, Xiao Huang has been deprived of a total of 87500 destiny points, and will permanently lose the destiny buff 'Auspicious Star Shining'. Xiao Huang will lose the adventure and good luck brought by the protagonist's halo."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a brand new villain BUFF 'turn evil into good luck'. Whenever the host encounters a dangerous situation, there is a high probability that there will be noble people to help, so as to keep the host safe."

Xiao Jie couldn't help but secretly smiled, the Son of Destiny was only one step away from falling into the mortal world.

He wanted the deceased Uncle Fu to know what it meant to be my own destiny, and Xiao Jie had the final say on who was the destiny of my destiny!
