Chapter 814 Intensification

Jiang Jinghui died in a sea of ​​flames, which made everyone sigh, but no one dared to talk about it.

At the gate of the palace, the officials kept silent one by one, and quickly drove away.

When the lampstand caught fire, anyone with a little brains could see that what happened was very strange.

The eldest grandson of the Jiang family died, but the eldest prince also appeared on the lampstand. If the emperor was not rescued in time, the adult princes who had already entered the dynasty would be wiped out.

Everyone didn't dare to think about it further, and they all forbade their family members to mention what happened tonight.

Before Daohua could wait for Xiao Yeyang, she saw that Prince Ping led the people out of the palace first.

"Yan girl, this king has just met Ye Yang. He has errands to work on. There will be martial law at the palace gate later. Let you go home with us first."

Daohua nodded, and as soon as she got into the carriage, she heard Princess Ma complaining.

"That Luo Qiong is getting more and more outrageous now. Her parents-in-law and husband haven't left yet. She's fine. She left first without saying hello."

Daohua leaned in the carriage, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong with Luo Qiong, and she couldn't help but said to Wang Man'er, "After returning to the mansion, let people look at Chenyuan more."

Wang Man'er nodded in response.

That night, Xiao Yeyang didn't return to Pingxi Hall until late at night.

The candles in the bedroom were still on, and Daohua was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, holding a book in her hand.

When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he knew that Daohua was waiting for him, walked over quietly, took the book from her hand, then held Daohua's head with one hand, and pulled the pillow with the other.

As soon as Daohua lay flat on the pillow, Daohua opened her sullen almond eyes: "Are you back?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Well, I'm back, go to sleep!" After saying that, he covered Daohua with the quilt, got up and went to the clean room to wash up. When he turned back to the bedroom, he saw Daohua's bright eyes. Lying in bed waiting for him.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Xiao Yeyang lay down on the bed swiftly, hugged Daohua naturally, lowered his head and kissed her cheek.

Daohua pressed against Xiao Yeyang's chest: "Why did the royal uncle call you back?"

Xiao Yeyang held Daohua in one hand and rested his head in the other, looking at the top of the tent. He did not answer directly, but talked about what happened tonight in detail.

"The lanterns brought in from various places this year are in charge of officials attached to the Jiang family, and a large amount of phosphorous powder has been put on the bottom of each lantern and lantern."

"Uncle Huang knew about this early on, and he planned on it. He wanted to see how courageous the Jiang family and the empress dowager were, and what they wanted to do."

"You have seen what happened tonight. The purpose of the empress dowager and the Jiang family is to wipe out the emperor's adult son. If tonight's plan is really successful, then their next goal should be the emperor's uncle."

"If something happened to the uncle of the emperor, the Jiang family can support a manipulative prince to succeed him, and then continue the monstrous power and glory and wealth of Jiang Banchao."

Daohua was dumbfounded.

Xiao Yeyang continued: "When the officials coaxed a few of the eldest prince to go to the lampstand, the uncle of the emperor knew the purpose of the empress dowager and the Jiang family, so he let me and brother Jiang Jinghui also go to the lampstand."

"I went up to protect a few princes. Brother Jiang Jinghui, the uncle of the emperor did not intend to let them live."

After speaking, he paused and turned to look at Daohua.

"It's true that someone is hiding in the dark tonight."

"Uncle Huang asked Jiang Jingrong, who was frightened and stupid. From what he said, it was certain that it was that person who stopped Jiang Jinghui who wanted to escape from the lampstand."

"Originally, the emperor arranged for the dark guard to handle this matter. Who knows, the dark guard was taken first before he started. It was also because the dark guard wanted to detect that person that Jiang Jingrong was lucky enough to escape."

Daohua: "Who would that person be?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head.

Daohua: "Could it be someone who has enemies with the Jiang family?"

Xiao Yeyang: "It's not impossible, but who would have the courage to kill someone under the eyes of the royal uncle?"

Daohua was silent for a while: "Is there such a possibility, the person who shot is to intensify the conflict between the Jiang family and the royal uncle, and it is best to have a lose-lose situation."

Xiao Yeyang suddenly looked at Daohua: "Why do you think so?"

Daohua: "As you said, no one dares to kill people under the emperor's eyes, unless there is a big enough interest that people are willing to risk their lives and take risks."

Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but fell into contemplation.

Daohua didn't bother him, and after waiting for a while, she said something wrong with Luo Qiong.

When Xiao Yeyang heard that there might be someone hiding in Luo Qiong's carriage, he immediately got out of bed and walked to the window. He summoned a secret guard and asked him to send someone to stare at the Chenyuan. He stared at Duke Wei's mansion.

After he returned to bed, Daohua asked again, "Is Uncle Huang going to attack the Jiang family this time?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Jiang Banchao is not so easy to deal with. When the Jiang family was planning for tonight's incident, they thought of a way out, but all the officials in charge who participated in the lantern fire, all committed suicide by taking poison after the incident. I was recruited. Go back, just to deal with this."

Daohua frowned: "When will the Jiang family be resolved?"

Xiao Yeyang: ". The real helms of the Jiang family are the Empress Dowager and Duke Chengen. One of them is the nominal mother of the royal uncle, and the other is the uncle of the royal uncle. If the royal uncle can succeed the throne, the Jiang family is indeed If they do their best, unless they make a big mistake and the evidence is conclusive, the royal uncle won't move them."

"However, although it is not easy to make a big move, it is still possible to weaken the power of the Jiang family. And now that Jiang Jinghui is dead, the Jiang family will only be more extreme than before, not afraid that they will not make mistakes."

Daohua lay in Xiao Yeyang's arms and said in a muffled voice, "In this way, Master has to continue to hide in the Four Seasons Villa."

Xiao Yeyang patted Daohua on the back: "It won't be too long, before, the royal uncle may not have planned to kill the Jiang family, but once this happens, the royal uncle will not let him go. "

"Um!"

Because of what happened on the night of the Lantern Festival, throughout the first month, the atmosphere in the court was somewhat sluggish, and the officials who used to argue endlessly were honest when they went to court.

The emperor used Jiang Jinghui's death as an excuse to directly relieve Chengen Gong and Jiang Shizi from their errands, and let them feel at ease at home to do the funeral.

The white flags were hung up in the mansion of Chengen Gong. The old man became more than ten years old, and his back became more and more hunched, and Jiang Shizi's eyes were full of anger. Anyone who looked at him could not help but tremble in their hearts.

Madam Jiang could not afford to be ill because of her son's death, so Madam Jiang had to come forward to receive the female relatives who came to congratulate her.

Prince Ping also brought people from the palace, but neither Daohua nor Xiao Yeyang came with him.

Originally, Prince Ping felt embarrassed about this. Who knows, when he arrived at Cheng'en's mansion, Jiang Shizi looked at him with the eyes of his enemies. Prince Ping felt uncomfortable, thinking that Jiang Shizi lost his son, no He got angry, but after sitting for a while, he pulled his face and left.

Pingxi Hall.

Since spring is about to begin, Daohua is busy with spring ploughing. The cotton seeds and corn seeds obtained last year have been cultivated in a batch of seeds, and she is going to start trial planting in Zhuangzi.

Xiao Yeyang was also busy. Although the Lantern Festival lampstand caught fire, although the Jiang family had a clean ending, but when things were done, they would leave clues. For this reason, he seized the handle of several Jiang family officials.

However, the person who shot Jiang Jinghui that night has never been found.

During this time, Xiao Yeyang had been sending people to stare at Luo Qiong and Duke Wei's mansion, but unfortunately, there was nothing different on both sides, which once made him and Daohua feel that they had made a mistake.
