The reaction of the female family members was relatively slow, while Marquis Changxing and several generals had already stood up.
Then everyone saw a man who looked like a general wearing full armor and leading a group of soldiers with swords appearing at the entrance.
Princess Danyu narrowed her eyes slightly, "That... seems to be the fifth prince!"
After saying that, I found that Princess Jiahe had already left the table and headed over there.
Marquis Changxing's face was particularly ugly. As the master today, seeing weapons at his son's wedding banquet was a bad sign. How could he still be polite?
He walked directly to the general and asked, "General Hu, what does this mean?"
General Hu relied on the strength of Concubine Xian's lineage to climb up the ranks step by step, and took charge of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, one of the three major battalions in the suburbs of Beijing.
This man does not have much education, but he is a good fighter. Concubine Xian has been favored for so many years and has paved the way for him, but it is he who has this strength.
I went to the border three times and achieved good results each time, and only then did I get my current position.
Everyone knows that General Hu is the most important chess piece in the hands of the fifth prince. His appearance here today must be extraordinary.
But the Marquis of Changxing is not a vegetarian. No matter what the reason is, he should not come to his house to disturb his family's happy events.
This is not how things should be done. Even if there is an urgent situation, the master should have been informed of it in advance.
Princess Jiahe felt trembling in her heart.
She and the fifth prince are not siblings, but her whole life will be tied to the fifth prince, so she has learned almost everything about her fifth prince brother's power from her mother and concubine since she was a child.
She had seen this General Hu many times.
Therefore, she knows better than anyone how serious it is for General Hu to appear here.
What's more, if the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing brings so many soldiers into the city without a call, it is tantamount to conspiracy!
Now that my father is lying on the hospital bed, how can there be a call?
"General Hu, what happened?"
Her voice was trembling, as if she didn't dare to ask.
Different from the cold attitude towards Marquis Changxing, General Hu showed a sad look on his face when he saw Princess Jiahe.
But it only took a moment for him to put away his emotions and turn to look at the others.
"A tragedy occurred at the Daxiangguo Temple. The Metropolitan Procuratorate signed a document asking our three camps in the suburbs of Beijing to help track down the criminals." He mentioned the matter of the Daxiangguo Temple here, which stopped the commotion at the scene.
After all, everyone present is more or less related to the person who was killed last night. Even if they are not from his own family, relatives with various ailments can also be abducted.
General Hu's eyes were as cold as frost, "The Daxiangguo Temple was almost turned upside down, and not many useful clues were found. Therefore, under the order of the Zuodu Yushi, we again... the rear of the Daxiangguo Temple
The mountain has been turned over."
His eyes fell on a certain place, but he moved away again, "In the back mountain, we found many corpses and many signs of fighting."
These words made everyone present hold their breath, waiting for his next answer.
Then everyone heard his very serious tone, "In this collection of corpses, there is... the fifth prince."
Snap!
There seemed to be a sudden thunder in the sky, knocking everyone upside down.
Just now, everyone was just listening quietly to General Hu's words, but now everyone stopped all movements.
Even the person who just thought he was not doing his own business was still in the mood to eat, but now his chopsticks were hovering in mid-air.
Jiahe felt that her mind went blank. She tried her best to think of something, but she couldn't think of anything.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that she was being supported by a maid. It turned out that her legs had no strength and she almost fell down.
She stumbled and pushed the maid aside, walked up to General Hu, grabbed his armor, and stared at him in disbelief, "What did you say? Tell me again!"
There was a bit of sadness in General Hu's resolute eyes. She was supported by Concubine Xian. The princess in front of him was also his master and the one he wanted to be loyal to.
Finally, General Hu knelt down in front of Jiahe, leaning on his sword, "Princess, our fifth prince is gone."
"No!" Jiahe shook her head desperately. She looked back and denied, "Impossible! This must be impossible! Brother Huang has so many powerful guards around him, all carefully selected by his father and mother.
I never leave him half a step away, how could something happen to him! You must not have seen clearly, right!"
As if she thought of something, she stopped retreating, walked quickly to General Hu, and looked at him seriously, "He is a prince, don't you dare to check carefully?
Go back quickly, that corpse is fake, just to cause the current chaos in the world. You are the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, but now there is no order to lead the soldiers into the city.
They just want to cut off this important arm of yours, Brother Huang. We have fallen into the trap. Go back quickly and find out. There is still a change in this matter.
You entered the city because you believed that the emperor's brother was killed. I will plead with the father for you. You will be fine. Trust me, you go back quickly!"
She spat out these words one by one at such a fast speed that the veins on her neck popped out. Seeing General Hu still kneeling on the ground, she almost yelled at him hysterically, "What are you still kneeling on?"
?!Go quickly! Brother Huang’s whereabouts are still unknown, what’s the use of kneeling here?!”
General Hu, a man in his forties, had red eyes at this moment, "Princess, the general has checked carefully. Even the birthmark on his body... has been confirmed by the adults from the Ministry of Punishment, and there is no fraud.
There is no sign of disguise on his face. The fifth prince...is really gone."
"You are deceiving the public with your evil words!" Jiahe screamed sternly and stepped forward to push him away.
But for a burly man like General Hu, who was also a military general, he could barely move as fast as a mountain. On the contrary, Jiahe's wrists hurt from the sudden exertion.
But she couldn't care less, "What do you mean? Have you been bribed by... someone else!"
Jiahe still had the last shred of reason and did not pronounce the seventh prince's name.
General Hu glanced at her, then stood up from the ground. He looked at Princess Jiahe seriously, "Princess, now is not the time not to accept the facts. The most important thing is that we must avenge the fifth prince."
Jiahe couldn't hear it, "My imperial brother can't die, so what's the point of revenge! You don't want..."
"Someone saw the person who committed the murder on the Fifth Prince last night." The words he said later successfully made Jiahe stop making noise and look at him blankly, "What did you say?!"
