At the same time, in Prince Qi's palace, Feng Qi was sitting in the study room. Below him were his two uncles, the two principals of the Li family, and his future father-in-law Yan Feng.
Half an hour ago, Feng Qi sent someone to summon them here and announced an excellent news to them.
The arsonist was caught.
Although the man was still sleeping, many pieces of evidence he found showed that he was undoubtedly the culprit.
"I didn't expect that the Hua family could be so vicious. They arranged a detailed operation in our gun room two years in advance. Fortunately, this detailed operation is greedy for life, otherwise all the evidence would be turned into ashes?"
Xie Hong, the second master of the Xie family, slapped the table hard and his face turned red with anger.
He never expected that the man he recruited two years ago would actually become a sharp knife that dug into his heart.
Fortunately, things have come to light, and his uneasy heart has finally settled.
However, compared with his relaxation, the expressions of other people in the study were not good-looking, especially Xie Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Li Daoqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
This is strange.
From the fact that this delicate work could survive the explosion to the time Feng Qi's people caught it, there were countless loopholes in it, but the Hua family didn't see any action.
There was only one reason why the Hua family stood still, and that was because they thought the man was dead.
Either they died directly in the explosion, or they were cleaned up by their people.
They are also a ruthless family, and they believe that the Hua family should have made two preparations.
The first is to let the person explode to death, and the second is to send people to watch the explosion and be ready to clean up the person who may escape.
If he can still come out like this, it only means that he knows the layout outside in advance, he doesn't want to die, and there are people helping him.
Those people intercepted him as he ran out and allowed him to avoid the Hua family's cleaning. Then they drugged him to knock him out and threw him into their hands.
This witness was not found by themselves, but was specially left for them by a thoughtful person.
What plot is the most terrifying?
It's not the hidden plots, but the plots that are clearly placed in front of you, but you have to follow the other person's ideas.
The other party wanted them to have a dog-eat-dog fight with the Hua family. Because the Hua family had the upper hand, the other party gave them a loophole.
"Uncle, Mr. Li, who do you think this person could be?"
After hearing this, Xie Feng and Li Daoqing gave similar answers.
The Xiao family, or the lineage of the eldest princess.
"Your Majesty, the Xiao family's roots are far away in Beiliang. It must have been done by the Night King to do this."
Yan Feng, who had not spoken since he sat down, immediately became energetic when he heard about the Xiao family.
Now that his old man is on good terms with Xiao Xiruo, if King Qi casts doubt on the Xiao family, it will not be good for him, who is about to become his father-in-law.
"It can't be Feng Yehan. Although this king's fifth brother is difficult to deal with, he doesn't seem to be someone who would take the initiative to cause a fight between the two parties. What he advocates has always been to put national affairs first and conflict behind."
Hearing this, Xie Feng and others also nodded, Feng Yehan really didn't look like him.
That's not him. Could it be that messy Xiao Xiruo?
Don't talk about it, they have a headache just thinking about the operation that caused this disaster last night.
"Of course, it can't be Xiao Xiruo..."
Feng Qi's frown relaxed slightly, and was replaced by a look of hesitation.
Since it's not the Xiao family, it must be the eldest princess' lineage.
"Yes, it must be! Don't look at her, Feng Lan, who usually acts like she has nothing to do with her, but secretly? Doesn't she also hold Feng Xuan's card? Yes, Feng Xuan is not in good health, but as long as he is the prince
, those are all capable of inheriting the throne."
In the Shoukang Palace, Queen Mother Hua's already-already headache worsened after listening to her brother's report.
Xiao Xiruo is still just a mess, but the eldest princess has the support of many royal relatives.
Just talking about the consort An Dinghou Lu Yang and the prince Lu Liang, they are both difficult masters to deal with.
She remembered that the Imperial City garrison in their hands numbered at least 40,000 people.
"Sister, don't worry, even if the eldest princess adds fuel to the fire, we may not lose. Now that King Qi is filling in the gaps, the losses will be huge."
Hua Qingsong comforted his eldest sister while comforting himself that King Qi couldn't find anything.
But the Empress Dowager Hua was more cautious than him, and she immediately issued an order to clear out all those dead soldiers when the situation was amiss.
Fortunately, they didn't touch the Qingxuguan people, otherwise Feng Qi would be in trouble if he followed suit.
In the afternoon, inside the temporary government office on East Street.
Feng Wuyan glanced at the folding papers on the table with cold eyes and approved them very quickly.
Shen Mian knew that his master was in a bad mood, so he tried to stop everyone he could. But it was already past noon, shouldn't it be time for them to eat?
"What's going on with King Qi and the Hua family?"
Putting down her pen and raising her eyes, Feng Wuyan's sudden words startled Shen Mian.
"King Qi has already called people to discuss it, and the Hua family must have got the news. Master, don't worry, no matter how suspicious they are, they are still suspicious of the Xiao family and the eldest princess. This fire will definitely not burn us."
Feng Wuyan: "They won't doubt the Xiao family."
"Ah?" Shen Mian was stunned: "Why?"
Feng Wuyan: "Because the Xiao family's involvement in this matter is too obvious."
His eyelashes slightly lowered, and the girl's bright smile appeared in his mind again, as well as her well-behaved appearance when she promised Feng Yehan to return to the palace.
She would argue if he asked her to go back, but as soon as Feng Yehan opened his mouth, she would just say yes.
Very good, little sickie, you are doing very well.
Feng Wuyan was gnashing his teeth, thinking about replacing the silver bell foot ornaments with iron chains so that the sick little guy who wanted to be as rich as him would behave better.
Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he saw Bai Zhi rushing up with someone carrying a food box, three steps at a time, and then two steps at a time.
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but he could rarely see the complexity directed at him in the eyes of his subordinate.
"Did you say the food box has been delivered? Why hasn't it arrived yet? Is it that far away from East Street?"
In front of the round table in Changle Palace, Xiao Xiruo's hand holding the chopsticks shook again and again, almost unable to hold the fish on the chopsticks.

Xiao Xiruo: "?"
No, this guy's negative mood hasn't stopped since she woke up in the morning.
This does not include those things that the other party secretly swiped behind her back after she fell asleep last night.
Why are you so fat?
Can we still have fun together?
"It's coming, it's coming. Don't worry, Madam, Bai Zhi and the others will leave the palace as quickly as possible. The food will definitely not be cold when they get there."
Xue Xue tried her best to comfort her mother-in-law, wondering if her mother-in-law cares so much about the emperor now?
She still remembered that before Bai Zhi left the palace, the empress Qian Ding Ling asked people to run faster and not to let the dishes get cold.
Looking back on the past, your Majesty wasn't that interested in His Highness the Night King, right?
"That's good, that's good..."
After eating a piece of fish, Xiao Xiruo was about to ask again, but saw a red prompt pop up on the main interface.
