Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Half a month later, in the Crown Prince's Mansion.

The Crown Princess was trimming flowers and plants in the yard, while Shi Xuanji stood by to serve.

This Crown Princess has always been self-righteous and noble. She never touched the water of spring spring, and she wanted to be carried by someone even when she walked three steps, let alone work.

Her daily life and walking were all served by servants, except for trimming flowers and plants.

Everyone in the city knew that the Crown Princess loved flowers and holy trees.

If this person trimmed flowers and plants, she could sit there and serve them all day long. If the servants wanted to help, she would scold them.

According to her, flowers are the most beautiful and holy spiritual objects in the world, and people of low status are not worthy of touching them.

This is the case today. The Crown Princess sat in the yard and had been fiddling with flowers and plants for a whole morning, and Shi Xuanji had been standing here for a whole morning.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came.

Shi Xuanji turned her head and saw the housekeeper walking into the yard with an anxious look.

She frowned and hurried to meet him.

The Crown Princess didn't like to be disturbed when she was tending to the flowers and plants. It would be better if this housekeeper had something urgent, otherwise he would be beaten today.

"Housekeeper, what happened?"

Shi Xuanji asked in a low voice.

The housekeeper looked nervous and whispered: "Miss Qingluan, please inform the Crown Princess and say that I have something urgent to report."

"What is it?"

Shi Xuanji asked again: "Housekeeper, you know the Crown Princess' temper. She will never allow others to disturb her when she is tending to the flowers and plants. If your business..."

"It's really urgent!"

The housekeeper said anxiously: "Just now, the news came that all the princes of His Majesty, except His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are dead."

"What?"

Shi Xuanji's tone was raised, and her pretty eyes were shocked.

She was really shocked, not pretending, because she knew very well what this matter meant.

"What did you say?"

Suddenly a gust of wind whistled, and the flowers and plants in the yard were blown down and broken, destroying a large area.

The Crown Princess had already stood up and walked over here quickly, exuding a chilling breath.

Obviously, the Crown Princess was also shocked by the housekeeper's news, so much so that she couldn't even take care of her beloved flowers and plants.

The housekeeper hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Reporting to the Crown Princess, the news just came that just this morning, the princes were found dead in their beds at home one after another."

"And without exception, all the princes were poisoned to death, and they died silently and without any pain, so the people sleeping next to them didn't find it all night."

"Now His Majesty has ordered the whole city to be sealed off, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the prince has been summoned to the palace for questioning."

The Crown Princess' face was livid, knowing what the old emperor meant by summoning the prince to the palace.

All the princes died, but only the prince was alive and well. I'm afraid that anyone with a normal mind would suspect that it was the prince who poisoned them, right?

Thinking of this, the Crown Princess stared at the housekeeper: "You are the most trusted person around the Crown Prince, tell me the truth, does this matter have anything to do with the Crown Prince?"

The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "Reporting to the Crown Princess, how could His Highness be so stupid?"

"If His Highness really wants to kill, he will never poison all the princes except him."

"Isn't this obviously drawing suspicion to yourself?"

"In addition, according to the information we have received, this matter seems to be done by the third prince."

"Third prince?" The Crown Princess was puzzled: "He is not dead either?"

"Dead!"

"How could it be him who did it? He won't poison himself, right?"

"This..."

The housekeeper's expression became a little strange, as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "According to the news report, the third prince sent his assassins to poison other princes last night, and was originally planning to kill people to silence them. . "

"The fate of the assassins after completing their missions is usually the same."

"But I didn't expect that one of the assassins was actually a spy sent by the Sixth Prince."

"Since the Third Prince sent different assassins to assassinate different princes, the spy didn't know at first that the Third Prince had sent him to poison the Second Prince while also sending people to assassinate other princes."

"The spy didn't expect that the Third Prince would be so bold as to kill all the princes at once. By the time he realized it, it was too late."

"The spy was loyal to the Sixth Prince. After knowing that his master was also poisoned by the Third Prince, he sneaked back to the Third Prince's mansion at night and poisoned the Third Prince to death."

"After that, the spy committed suicide."

The Crown Princess was stunned. She never expected to hear such an answer from the housekeeper.

Is the Third Prince trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice?

Or did God want the prince to ascend the throne, so he took the initiative to help the prince clear all obstacles?

Shi Xuanji next to him also had a strange expression.

These days, she was thinking about how to spread some "evidence" to re-provoke the discussion of the prince's inhumanity in the court, but she didn't expect the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse.

Now, she doesn't have to spread any "evidence".

The old emperor only has one son left. Even if the prince is really inhumane, the successor cannot be his choice.

After all, the old emperor would never be willing to pass the throne to other royal family members.

What's more, the crown princess has already given birth to a son, so the crown prince is not without descendants, but only has a few descendants.

The crown princess asked: "Before the crown prince entered the palace, did he have any instructions? Do you need us... just in case?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "The prince left a message, asking us to keep everything as it is, and not to make any rash moves. His Majesty will deal with it."

"Is that so?"

The princess looked towards the palace, thinking to herself: "I hope the prince can pass the test smoothly. If he passes this test today, then no one can take away my position as queen."

...

The palace, the imperial study.

The prince Shengshu Longchang walked in respectfully: "I pay my respects to my father, and I hope that my father will enjoy eternal happiness and live as long as the sky!"

"Hmph, I'm almost dead, what's the point of living as long as the sky?"

The old emperor Shengshu Mingchen had a gloomy face, waved his hand and threw out a memorial: "Look at what you did, I really didn't expect your methods to be so vicious!"

Pah!

The memorial fell at the feet of Shengshu Longchang, making a dull sound, which made people feel depressed.

Shengshu Longchang picked up the memorial and turned it over. He didn't look surprised at all, but was extremely serious.

He didn't hide himself, he had already received the news, because it didn't make any sense.

As the crown prince, if he didn't know that the other princes were dead until now, that would be too fake.

"Father, what do you mean? Do you suspect that your son has poisoned several of your brothers?"

Shengshu Longchang stared at the old emperor closely, observing the changes in his expression.

And wasn't the old emperor observing him as well?
