Several people's faces changed: "Could it be that the medicine was put in the well?"
Someone said, "That's possible. What if the drug was given after everyone in the palace had already had dinner, and then the bad guys put the drug in the well?"
Several people who were checking nearby looked over here. Yes, why didn’t they think of this.
Who doesn’t drink a few sips of water after dinner?
Someone hurried to the well outside, drew a bucket of water, scooped up a handful and put it to his nose to smell it, but he couldn't smell any strange smell. He shook his head at the people who were looking at him.
The hope that the few people had just raised was immediately deflated.
Li Shuangwan patted the white fox in his arms: "Good boy, it's your turn."
The white fox reluctantly got off her, walked to the bucket, sniffed it, and licked it with its tongue.
Li Shuangwan tried to stop him: "Don't drink."
Unfortunately, the white fox, after gulping down two gulps of water, had its eyes rolled back and fainted.
Everyone was shocked, it turned out that the well water was really poisonous!
Li Shuangwan hurried forward and picked up the white fox. Seeing its chest rising and falling slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it had just fainted.
Is this because he knows he can't speak, so he uses actions to express himself to everyone?
There was a major breakthrough in the case, and Bai Hongxian and three others rushed over here.
An hour later, Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan left.
On the carriage back home, Gu Xingyan saw that her face looked really ugly, so he sat down beside her without saying a word, put his arm around her shoulders, and let her lean on his arms.
"Bai Hongxian and the others will definitely find the real culprit."
Li Shuangwan shook his head and stood up: "Xingyan, who do you think is so crazy that he wants to kill the old King Huai and others?"
Gu Xingyan stared at Li Shuangwan's eyes blankly: "Yanyan, you already have the answer in your heart. In Shengjing City, if you want to wipe out the entire family of King Huai, you can't do it without a certain level of strength."
Li Shuangwan was very angry, so angry that her heart ached: "How dare he, how dare he! He's his great-great-uncle!"
This didn't happen in my previous life.
King Huai died at the age of 100.
Later, King Huai's health gradually recovered.
When she died, Prince Huai's Palace still stood in Shengjing City.
Gu Xingyan sneered: "The old king Huai slapped him in public. Ling Heng is the crown prince, and although the old king Huai is his great-uncle, he is the king and the old king Huai is the minister. If a minister slaps the king, it is a violation of the rules and is a great treason."
"Ling Heng is a vengeful person. How could he not vent his anger? You also saw that everyone in Prince Huai's mansion was killed with a single blow, except for the old Prince Huai and the young Prince Huai."
"They died so tragically. Their bodies were hacked countless times with weapons like axes. If it wasn't revenge, who would be so cruel? And who would this old man and this child have a grudge against?"
Except Ling Heng, there is no other thought.
Li Shuangwan took a deep breath, and then another deep breath, but he couldn't suppress the surging anger.
Therefore, he held a grudge just because of the two sentences his father said to Emperor Jingzhang in the Imperial Study.
He then planned step by step to wipe out the entire family of her state-guarding general's mansion.
Three hundred and eighty-one people, just because of two sentences he took out of context.
How could he not bear a grudge when the old King Huai slapped him in public!
Even if the so-called real murderer is found in the end, he will only be Ling Heng's scapegoat.
Therefore, the reason why Lu Dongqing and A Yan’s wedding was so lively yesterday was because someone deliberately led the people to watch the ceremony so that Prince Huai’s Mansion would be disappointed.
When Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Chen Ping was waiting for them anxiously.
Li Shuangwan was still in a very low mood. Seeing Chen Ping like this, his heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
In two days, he and Yizhu will be getting married. Unless there is something important, Chen Ping would not come to see her now.
Chen Ping hurried over and said, "Princess, the Duke and the Major General were urgently summoned to the palace from the military camp."
Li Shuangwan's heart tightened: "My father and brother have both entered the palace? What happened?"
It couldn't be possible that Ling Heng would do something strange again because of Gu Xinglang's matter.
Or is it related to the tragic massacre at Prince Huai's mansion?
Could it be that this beast Ling Heng wanted to put the blame on his father and brother?
If that's the case, she would tear Ling Heng into pieces even if it meant sacrificing her own life!
Chen Ping hurriedly replied: "Half an hour ago, a report of an 800-mile-long military expedition arrived in Beijing from the northwest. Several forces emerged from nowhere and attacked Ziyang County from different directions. In just two days, Ziyang County fell into their hands."
"At this moment, all the officials above the second rank in the court have entered the palace. It is because of this matter that the Crown Prince ordered people to urgently summon the Duke and the Major General from the military camp to the palace."
"Princess, are the Duke and the Major General going to war again?"
The Northern Qi was too arrogant. It had only been a short time since they signed the armistice agreement, and they dared to invade again!
Can't we all live in peace?
When Li Shuangwan heard about this, her heart relaxed. She and Gu Xingyan had been talking about this before going to Prince Huai's Mansion.
"Okay, I understand. Father and brother have been away from the northwest for too long, so it's not surprising that the Northern Qi people are ready to make a move. It's time for them to go back. In two days, you will be getting married. How are your preparations going?"
Seeing that the princess didn't seem to be in a hurry at all and was even concerned about her own marriage, Chen Ping didn't dare to say anything.
He replied, "Yes, thank you for your concern, Princess. When I first arrived, I discussed it with Yizhu and decided not to have a big wedding. We will just put the bedding together and have a meal together."
"Roman and Liu Er also agree, but it would be a waste of the princess's kindness."
Li Shuangwan originally wanted to give them a wedding.
But, never mind, Chen Ping is right.
Today's Northern Jin is in ruins, and the taxation in various places has made the people miserable.
It's your own life to live, there's no need to make a big fuss, lest Ling Heng have any evil intentions.
What's more, the tragedy of the Huai Wang family being wiped out had just happened.
"Alright."
Li Shuangwan thought of something: "Oh, right, you just said that all the officials above the second rank in the court have entered the palace?"
"Yes."
"What about Bai Hongxian and the other two?"
"He should have entered the palace. When I first came here, I saw a palace servant delivering the imperial edict."
Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan looked at each other.
Now they were sure that someone in those three government offices must have secretly sent a message to Ling Heng.
They just discovered that there was something wrong with the water in the well, but more than an hour later, Ling Heng had already received the news.
"Red Frost."
Hong Shuang stepped forward: "Princess."
"You should go to Prince Huai's Mansion immediately and find a way to meet Meng Yulin. Ask him if anyone has left Prince Huai's Mansion in the past hour."
"Yes."
"Also, tell him to send more people to protect the scene."
Hongshuang replied yes and left immediately.
Gu Xingyan raised his eyebrows: "It's too late."
"what?"
"You saw it just now. There are more than a hundred people from the three major government offices, including Jingzhao Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple. That doesn't include the people from the Five Cities Army who are guarding the perimeter of Prince Huai's Palace. The scene has already been destroyed."
"You mean, Ling Heng did it on purpose?"
