Although it was almost midnight, the guards of Dali Temple still did not slack off at all. The corridors were still brightly lit, and a group of patrolling guards walked past from time to time.
Today's tension is justified - the emperor's death has not yet been investigated, but all kinds of evidence point to Xuanyuan Hao, confirming that he killed his father. Therefore, Dali Temple can only take Xuanyuan Hao into custody first.
, keep a tight watch and wait for another day for investigation and trial.
There was only Xuanyuan Hao in the empty cell. After all, this was not an ordinary yamen, and it would not house ordinary prisoners. Those who could be imprisoned were all relatives of the emperor, and naturally there would not be many people.
Precisely because this is a place where the royal relatives are detained, even if a crime is committed, the blood of the royal family cannot be changed in the bones, so the conditions here are much better than those in Tianlao. Except for those wooden fences, it seems that,
It's more like an ordinary people's house.
Xuanyuan Hao sat quietly at the wooden table, placing his fingers on the table and moving it again and again, as if he was waiting for something, and also seemed to be thinking about something...
He originally had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Dali Temple could investigate Xuanyuan Jin, reveal his ambitions, and allow his father to truly rest in peace. However, now... he feels that this possibility is very small!
The people in Dali Temple chose to detain him first without any discrimination. It seemed that they had subconsciously obeyed Xuanyuan Jin and slowly moved closer to him...
"Alas..." Xuanyuan Hao sighed, and the disappointment on Xuanyuan Hao's face couldn't help but become stronger.
It is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself. It seems that there is only another way.
There was a "click", and at this moment, there was an unusual noise from the door. Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows, just in time to see Chi Feng sneaking in.
He flew several times, quickly bypassed the guards not far away, and stood in front of his cell door.
"My subordinates, please see the prince!" Chi Feng immediately knelt down across the wooden fences, "The prince has suffered!"
After saying that, he stood up and drew his sword to cut off the iron lock on the door, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Hao.
"If I want to go out, can this lock lock me?" He smiled lightly, spoke leisurely, and fiddled with the huge iron lock twice with his slender fingers.
"But your lord..." Chi Feng spoke reluctantly, his face full of sullenness.
After all, the prince is also a bloodline of the emperor. How could these people just lock him up here? The prince is too unjust!
Can't they see how the prince usually treats the emperor?
At this time, it is simply nonsense to suspect that the prince has committed patricide!
"Okay!" Xuanyuan Hao's voice dropped, and he interrupted him majestically. He sighed softly, and then slowly asked, "Did you hear what I asked you to inquire about?"
Two days ago, he asked him to rush to neighboring countries to find out something about Su Tong, and there should be news now.
Although it seemed a bit inappropriate to discuss this topic at this juncture, he couldn't help but become curious when he encountered things about her...
"My subordinates haven't fully figured it out either." Chi Feng frowned solemnly, shook his head helplessly, and felt guilty for a while before slowly explaining, "The princess's life experience is like a mystery in neighboring countries.
, just by asking around, there are various versions, and none of them are credible.”
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows, becoming even more interested.
He really didn't expect that she would be such a "popular figure" in a neighboring country. She was really... a strange woman!
"My subordinates sneaked into the palace of a neighboring country and checked the records of the royal family members, but found that the princess's name was added not long ago after she got married, and she was given the title of a princess. The previous records were blank. In the royal family,
There is no record of her birth."
"So...she is not from the royal family?" Xuanyuan Hao frowned, thinking of the things she had said in front of him about the past, he couldn't help but wonder - where did she grow up?
Judging from the current news, she should have been given a title as a substitute for marriage! This kind of practice is not uncommon in marriages, but I didn't expect... the neighboring country would dare to fool him like this!
"It should be." Chi Feng nodded and responded, then took out a piece of cardboard from his clothes and handed it to Xuanyuan Hao, "My subordinates began to think that the princess should come from the common people or palace maids, but after searching many places, they also
Nothing was gained. Later, I accidentally learned from an old nun in a deep palace that the princess was brought back by the king of a neighboring country from hunting a year ago. When she first arrived, she was covered in blood and in a miserable state. This was the earliest
News, I really can’t find anything before this..."
For the first time, he felt that he was so incompetent. When he was helping Xuanyuan Hao, he couldn't even find all the information on a single person.
"Yes." Xuanyuan Hao nodded, and did not continue to ask. Instead, he took the piece of cardboard and looked at it carefully - there were strange patterns printed on it. It was very strange, and it didn't look like it was painted on it.
It goes on very smoothly and is very strangely made...
"My subordinates have not found anyone who has close contact with the princess. She is always alone in neighboring countries, but that Huo'er...has always been with her. I also found this one in her room. I don't know what it is.
Things, so I brought them back." Chi Feng finished speaking honestly, and then waited for Xuanyuan Hao's reaction.
He has indeed never seen such a thing.
"Da da da..." At this moment, rapid footsteps came from the door, as if they were running towards a certain place, which also attracted the attention of the two people...
