Chapter 256 : Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two (23) (2
Chen Ken couldn't help but recall the conversation with Cao Cao in Sikong Mansion. His face became solemn and he said to the deputy general: "The body of the second prince was found immediately."
"promise."
The deputy general agreed and immediately took some soldiers to exhume the body of the second prince. Chen Ken quietly waited for the result.
After a while of busy work, a soldier discovered the body of a baby.[
The corpse was so burnt that nothing could be identified, not even the gender.
The body was placed on the ground. Chen Ken looked down and frowned. How to check this?
After all, it was still the prince's body, so Chen Ken didn't dare to neglect it. After a little confirmation, he said to the soldier: "Hold it down, and ask the relevant officials to come over and restrain it."
"Promise." The soldier agreed and immediately walked out.
"Come here, find the maid in charge of delivering the baby to Lady Dong." After giving the order to the soldier, Chen Ken said to the deputy general.
"promise."
The deputy general agreed and immediately went down to do it.
After giving the instructions, Chen Ken exhaled. In fact, there was no doubt in Chen Ken's mind now. The body was there, so it must have been burned.
There shouldn't be any conspiracy, but Cao Cao's explanation forced Chen Ken to treat it with caution.
"The so-called conspiracy should be that there is something dirty between the emperor Liu Xie and the cavalry general Dong Cheng. First of all, we must determine whether this is the second prince himself. In case Liu Xie burned the second prince to death, it was just a smoke bomb, and the purpose was to make outsiders see the relationship with the second prince.
The relationship between Dong Cheng and Dong Cheng is even more broken. Even if it is true, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Xie killed the second prince as a ploy. The purpose is to make outsiders look like the relationship with Dong Cheng is even more broken."
Chen Ken thought in his mind that he could be said to be the leader of Cao Cao's power. Knowing the suspicion in Cao Cao's heart at the moment, he made up his hypothesis.
In the palace, in the side hall of the Crown Prince's Palace.
Crown Prince Liu Feng was sitting on the throne, reading bamboo slips, and Zhao Yun was kneeling next to him. Zhao Yun was also reading a book, a book on war.
Both of them were very silent, Zhao Yun was the same as always, while Liu Feng was unusually silent.
Zhao Yun knew that Liu Feng's thoughts were not actually on the bamboo slips, because Liu Feng himself did not study. Now, he was just pretending to do so, but he was actually thinking about today's affairs.
"It's no wonder that it's so difficult to hide the truth. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. The plan to seize Xudu in reverse is useless. Whether it succeeds or fails depends on the sky and the earth."
Zhao Yun sighed in his heart and thought.
At this moment, Dong Xi walked in from outside, walking in a hurry.
"Your Highness, General Wei Chen Ken has returned and personally inspected and exhumed the body of the second prince. He then ordered that the old palace maid who delivered Dong Meiren's delivery be taken away from the Queen." [
After entering the side hall, Dong Xi told Liu Feng the news he heard word for word.
"I know." Liu Feng's eyes flashed and he nodded.
The development of the matter was all within Liu Feng's expectation. Liu Feng had long expected that Cao Cao was not so easy to trust someone, especially a person whose stance suddenly changed.
Dong Cheng's bad thing is that his original position was too clear. He can't be bleached without being ruthless.
Seeing that Liu Feng was silent for a long time, Dong Xi couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, do you still want to inquire?"
"There's no need to pay special attention, just stay outside the door." Liu Feng woke up from his meditation and said.
Under the current circumstances, the closer the action is, the better it will be. Just pay a little attention. It will be less likely to alert the enemy by standing still.
"Promise." Dong Xi agreed and walked out immediately.
After Dong Xi left, Liu Feng turned to Zhao Yun and said, "Go tell your father and act according to the plan."
"Promise." Zhao Yun agreed and immediately turned around and walked out.
"Even the replacement of a dead baby is doubtful. Then let's do something even more ruthless." Liu Feng felt ruthless in his heart.
