After all, it is his father-in-law's family, and his father-in-law is very helpful and capable. He has cooperated with him very tacitly and happily over the years. He doesn't want anything to happen to his father-in-law's family.
Princess Zhuang was about to cry and faint. She held the hand of the king tightly and did not move for a while. She just looked at the nurse and urged: "Hurry up and tell me! Who sent the children here? What did they say? Tell me quickly!"
The nurse herself was extremely anxious: "Reporting to the prince and princess, the Jinyiwei said that it was the second master who sent people to assassinate the second master He, colluded with the pirates, and secretly resold the tribute satin from the weaving bureau..."
What?!
Princess Zhuang's head was buzzing, and she couldn't help but shouted, "Nonsense! How could my second uncle do such a thing?!"
Qin Chen is the admiral of the navy and the highest-ranking official in the Qin family so far. It can be said that the reason why Princess Zhuang has the confidence to remain calm despite not giving birth to a child for such a long time is largely because she has such a capable second uncle.
The Qin family has not yet split up. If something happens to Qin Chen, it will inevitably affect the Qin family. Princess Zhuang felt dizzy and was on the verge of collapse.
King Zhuang's heart was also in turmoil, and there was a loud bang in his head as if fireworks had exploded. He was so speechless that he could not speak for a moment. He only felt his scalp going numb and tight, with waves of pain.
How come Qin Chen was dragged into this matter? !
He didn't bother to comfort the princess. He hurried out of the door and asked someone to quickly invite Zhan Changshi. He went to the study without stopping and paced back and forth anxiously.
Fortunately, Zhan Changshi came over very quickly. He ran in a hurry with a very unhappy look on his face. He closed the door as soon as he entered and said to King Zhuang, "Your Majesty, something happened!"
"You know?" King Zhuang had a headache. He slammed the table and asked angrily, "How did it happen? How did it involve the Qin family?!"
Zhan Changshi was also annoyed and depressed. Seeing that Prince Zhuang was angry, he did not dare to say much. He only told Prince Zhuang the news that his subordinates had inquired about: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Cheng Dingan has been deceived. Someone just reported that Madam He has left the palace safely. Not only is she unharmed, but she was also personally escorted out of the palace by Eunuch Xia, who served the emperor, and returned to the Su family with a lot of rewards..."
In other words, Concubine Pang in the palace did not deal with Mrs. He as they had planned to prevent her from going to the emperor to plead for mercy.
How stupid!
King Zhuang was furious.
As long as Concubine Pang takes action, there will definitely be traces left behind - he had gone to great lengths to get his mother to arrange everything, and as long as Concubine Pang takes action, she would be able to obtain evidence and expose it in front of his father.
In addition, Master He died suddenly outside the palace, and my father will definitely be furious.
If the three judicial officials continue the investigation, they will naturally find the fifth prince and the Pang family.
But now things are not developing at all as they expected.
What's going on? What are the Pang family members doing? !
No, it should be said that something went wrong. Why did the person who assassinated Mr. He change and became related to the Qin family
Prince Zhuang was involved in numerous lawsuits, and Cheng Dingan also felt that there was a dark cloud hanging over his head.
He had just returned from Phoenix Tower when he received the news from Wu Shan. He fully expected that Wu Shan, who was watching over at the Dali Temple, would bring back good news. However, Wu Shan fell while running into the house, and then told him about the Qin family being surrounded.
The smile on Cheng Dingan's face gradually disappeared, and he looked as if he had just been pulled out of ice water. He looked at him gloomily: "Say it again."
Wu Shan was so frightened that his hands were shaking violently. He quickly used his left hand to hold down his shaking right hand and stammered to Cheng Dingan, "Prince, Mr. He was assassinated, but somehow it was found that the assassin was related to the Qin family. Before he passed out, Mr. He told the officials of the Dali Temple that apart from him, only Admiral Qin Chen had taken over part of the tribute satin, and then when it was stored in the capital, it was found to be short..."
Cheng Dingan immediately cursed in his heart.
Someone was plotting against me!
There is no doubt that this batch of tribute satin was swallowed up by the Pang family, and the damn thing is in Qin Chen's hands.
But now He Er suddenly said this, and was then assassinated by someone from the Qin family. Now the blame has completely shifted to the Qin family.
He kicked over the charcoal basin in front of him, and asked Wu Shan with red eyes: "Where is Su Xingxuan!?"
He must get an explanation from Su Xingxuan.
Wu Shan scratched his head, swallowed his saliva in fear, and looked at him in astonishment: "Didn't Miss Su go out? You said there was no need to stop her trip..."
Cheng Ding'an's mind was in a mess. He vaguely remembered that Su Xingxuan had said a few days ago that she had to go out for something today.
But the anxiety and anger in his heart kept rising.
This matter was messed up, and the Qin family was also involved. I'm afraid that Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang want to eat him alive.
He couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
After walking around the room anxiously for a few times, Cheng Dingan asked Wu Shan again: "So how is the Qin family now?"
"The palace was surrounded by the Imperial Guards. People were only allowed to enter but not leave." Wu Shan had found out everything. With a head full of lawsuits, he told Cheng Ding'an, "It was Deputy Chief Song who led the team... The Qin family couldn't even make a scene."
Cheng Ding'an suddenly had an even bigger headache.
It turned out that Song Heng brought people there.
Of course he knew Song Heng. If one were to name a few playboys in the capital, Song Heng should be the best among them. He was completely lawless. When he was in a good mood, he could give a thousand taels to a beggar on the street. When he was in a bad mood, he would even beat up the sons of the mansions.
But no one dares to mess with him.
Last time, Xu Ying from the Chengguo Mansion had a conflict with him for some unknown reason, and was thrown into the Jinshui River by Song Heng. As a result, she started to have a fever as soon as she returned. The Chengguo Mansion went to seek justice, but they didn't even get to see the man in person - it was the son of Marquis Guangping who came out directly, and no one knew what they said, but in the end, the Marquis Guangping Mansion admitted defeat in disgrace.
From then on, everyone knew that Song Heng was not an easy person to deal with and should not be provoked.
But Song Heng was lucky. During the Chinese New Year last year, a bear jumped out of a cage during a palace banquet. Everyone present was at a loss as to what to do. The bear killed several people and rushed straight towards the throne. It was Song Heng who shot the bear's eyes with several arrows. The Yulin Guard and the Jinyi Guard took the opportunity to subdue the bear and save the emperor.
For this matter, the emperor specially cut off two bear paws and gave them to Song Heng as rewards, praising him as a young hero. At the beginning of the year, he was promoted to a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and allowed to walk in the palace, which was a rare honor.
