The culprit is dead, and most of the blood feud of the Song family has been avenged.

Song Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the body of the eldest prince, and suddenly felt a sense of joy and relief in his heart.

The faces of the family's closest relatives flashed through my mind one by one, and finally they were fixed on the dilapidated and depressed Dingbei Hou Mansion.

All kinds of tastes hit his heart, making him feel slightly lost in thought at this tense moment.

The joy of getting revenge could not make up for the sadness of losing his family. The indifference of Weiyuan Houfu made him understand the fragility of blood ties in the face of interests. The lonely handsome man felt lonely at this moment, and suddenly missed the people who had been with him along the way.

Hibiscus smiles through thick and thin.

When this matter is over, he can return to Yanzhou without any worries. From then on, the sky is high and the sea is vast, and the rivers and lakes are vast, and he can stay with the one he loves forever.

"Master." Jian Dong quietly entered the camp, "The person has been caught."

Han Shan and Luo Zhou, who were one step behind, dragged two unconscious men and threw them to the ground roughly.

Song Xi turned to look at the second prince, who was wearing a dragon-patterned python robe, raised his sword and made a few neat strokes.

The second prince in a coma frowned because of the severe pain. He tried to struggle to wake up but was unable to do so.

Song Xi tapped the black snake on his wrist with his slender fingers, "The next step is up to you."

Upon hearing this, the white wolf immediately exhaled a large amount of spiritual smoke, covering all the fainting people in the camp. After a while, the spiritual smoke dissipated, and then it shook its snake tail to signal that the mission was completed.

Jiandong and others looked at each other and began to arrange the crime scene according to the plan.

After clearing the traces, they left the paddock and ran towards the city into the night.

…

Early the next morning, there was chaos in the paddock.

"What's going on? His Highness was actually killed by His Highness?! How could two such princes kill each other?"

"The Second Highness was also seriously injured. His right ear was cut off directly. I heard from the imperial doctor that his lower abdomen was also seriously injured. I'm afraid... he won't be able to have any more heirs in the future."

"It is said that there was an inexplicable dispute last night. His Highness took the lead in provocative and humiliating words. His Highness made a mistake and did the wrong thing. His concubine, several guards and the Second Prince's subordinates are testifying in front of the emperor. Both sides insist on their own opinions.

Arguing like crazy!"

"Last night was really evil! Prime Minister Guo was killed by his concubine Wu Xuezhen for some unknown reason. The concubine committed suicide out of fear of the crime at that time. Now there is no way to investigate."

"What an eventful year it has been! A good hunt could end like this. I'm afraid the capital will be in chaos!"

The courtiers accompanying him were talking a lot, with shock and worry on their faces.

However, before the chaos in the capital, people in the paddock camp had already begun to panic.

Overnight, the two princes who had the greatest hope of competing for the throne were killed and the other was injured. An important court official also died in the camp for no reason. In addition, the previous assassination of the third prince cast a bloody and heavy cloud over this autumn hunt.

The various factions are now arguing endlessly in the emperor's camp, with roars, screams, and cries intermingling constantly.

The development of the situation has seriously exceeded expectations, and Emperor Yuanfeng, who thought he had everything under control, could not help but feel fear and panic.

The autumn hunting trip was officially declared over. The emperor furiously summoned Li Shijie into the camp and ordered the minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of Punishment to assist Beizhen Fusi in jointly investigating the tragedy of the eldest prince and Prime Minister Guo, striving to uncover all the details and truth.

Once found out.

The rest of the courtiers had their own thoughts and secretly pondered the way out for the future.

The situation of seizing the heir has suddenly changed dramatically. Should they leave the camp and choose another leader?

…

In the Zhaoyang Palace, Concubine He was holding the seven-year-old fifth prince and crying sadly. Prime Minister He sat aside with a frown on his face. Most of his black hair turned white overnight.

Both father and daughter looked sad, and their gloomy eyes could not hide the confusion and despair. The sudden death of the eldest prince severely damaged their plans for the future, and they were a little hesitant about where to go in the future.

The naughty fifth prince twisted his body, bent down and broke away from the embrace. Just now, he accompanied his mother and concubine to mourn the death of his eldest brother, but now he thoughtlessly wanted to go out and play.

Concubine He did not force him to stay, but asked her nuns and maids to carefully accompany him. She had already lost a son, and the remaining son must be carefully taken care of.

"Dad, if I want to avenge Xu'er, Prince Xuan must die!"

Concubine He's face was full of resentment, and she gritted her teeth with hatred when she mentioned the second prince.

Prime Minister He was also very angry, but he was more concerned about the future of the He family.

"The Emperor has imprisoned Prince Xuan in the Clan's Mansion. If the prediction goes well, he should be demoted to a commoner. We will wait until he is convicted and we will wait for action. It is not appropriate to act rashly at the moment. You should restrain your temper recently and don't do anything at this juncture.

Whatever the emperor did impulsively, the emperor is now in a state of uncertainty, and no one can predict what will happen next."

After a pause, he looked at the figure of the fifth prince running away, and said worriedly: "The He family is counting on the fifth prince now. You have to restrain his temper and raise the child. The first prince is dead, so the fifth prince must.

Inherit my brother's legacy and take control of the country of Great Zhou! Fight for a way out for you, for the He family, and for himself!"

Concubine He Guifei was still in the pain of losing her son. After hearing this, she immediately screamed angrily: "Why is it that my son died, but Zheng Sitong's son was safe and sound? Shouldn't Prince Xuan deserve to pay for killing his brother with his life? My Xuer.

Are you so mean-spirited?! I won’t accept it! I want Empress Zheng, mother and son to pay with their blood!”

Prime Minister He raised his hand to hold her shoulders and shouted sternly: "Calm down! Now is not the time to take action! The Wu clan does not allow fratricide, and the emperor cannot kill his son rashly! Both Prince Xuan and the Empress will die.

Yes, let’s discuss the future arrangements carefully first, and then we can make plans slowly when the time is right!”

Concubine He held the brocade handkerchief and slowly calmed down her emotions, looking at her father pleadingly with her red eyes.

"Dad, will you help me? Help me avenge Xu'er and send Zheng Sitong and his son to hell! Help me train Bin'er to become a talented person and step on other princes to ascend to the throne of God?"

Seeing that his daughter finally saw the reality clearly, Prime Minister He nodded comfortingly, "As a father, I will naturally help you! His Highness the Fifth Prince will definitely break through the siege and ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan. You must also cheer up as soon as possible and fight for the deceased Xu'er's belongings.

His everything!”

Concubine He adjusted her state slightly, and her expression gradually returned to her original arrogant look. However, when she thought of the fifth prince's qualifications and temperament, she felt a little worried and had a headache.

"Dad, Bin'er has been raised to be outspoken and naughty since he was a child. Now he suddenly has to be raised as a prince. I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to change his temperament..."

In the past, with the eldest prince as his competitive elder brother in front of him, the fifth prince did not need to work hard to improve. He had been doted on since he was a child. He had no outstanding talent in reading or martial arts. Instead, he was willful and playful, often causing trouble, and was arrogant and arrogant.
