Guozijian little cook

Xiao Nianzhi was shocked by the cause of death of the third prince.

She looked frightened, but the guard was very calm and explained to Xiao Nianzhi: "Masa Feng's partner is said to be my concubine Lu."

Xiao Nianzhi:.

I don’t really want to hear it, for fear of being silenced!

However, the other party has already said it, and Lu’s?

Lu Jingyuan’s sister?

In the afternoon, the third prince died immediately, and in the evening, the whole residence of Ganqing County Lord was completely burned down?
Isn’t it said that there is no handwriting from Lu Jingyuan?

Xiao Nianzhi didn’t believe it!

But, it's not easy for her to investigate this matter, so she can only listen to what others say.

The guard told everything he knew. He didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Ganqing County Lord's Mansion for the time being, so naturally he didn't know.

The other party left quickly, and Xiao Nianzhi asked him to bring some dried mangoes for Yan Xingxuan to try.

Yan Xingxuan was bored in the palace.

The third prince's mourning hall will naturally not be located in the palace, but in the other prince's residence.

Clan members and others have now begun to go to express condolences one after another.

While Yan Xingxuan was cleaning up, the guards came back.

Yan Xingxuan was quite happy to hear that Xiangxiang had brought him food back.

However, it is not too obvious to be funny now, so as not to offend the imperial brother who has lost his beloved son.

However, it’s okay to try something delicious in secret.

While Yan Xingxuan was busy with the funeral affairs of the third prince, Xiao Nianzhi sent Chang Shan out to inquire about the news about the main palace of Ganqing County.

After all, the whole house was burned down in one fire, which can be regarded as the destruction of the family. If it weren't for the third prince's matter, this matter would not be a trivial matter!
However, with the death of the third prince as a comparison, the death of the Ganqing County Lord does not seem to be a big deal.

But that doesn't mean that Your Majesty will just ignore it.

The powerful man was in the capital, and his whole house was burned down. It's strange that His Majesty can feel at ease!
Therefore, even though his thoughts were focused on the third prince's funeral, he did not forget to ask someone to investigate this matter.

Of course, although the death of the third prince was disgraceful, His Majesty would definitely not let go of the one who killed his son.

Concubine Lu was imprisoned early in the morning and was interrogated later.

When Dali Temple took action, they were all powerful people. Lu Chan, a weak woman, naturally couldn't keep any secrets, so she told everything early.

When Lu Chan first entered the mansion, it was just because of the decline of the mansion that she became increasingly desperate.

Then, as Lu Jingyuan's elder brother, Lu Chan was slightly tempted by Lu Chan's desire for wealth.

Coupled with Lu Jingyuan's secret manipulation, Lu Chan successfully got close to the third prince.

Although the third prince was not very pretty, it was impossible for him not to pay any attention to a beautiful young girl.

Moreover, it was new and happy at the beginning, and the other party did not ask for a high position, just a concubine, so he immediately agreed and took her back to his house.

After investigation by Dali Temple, it was discovered that Lu Chan didn't actually know much about what happened after that. Most of the time, it was the maids around her who operated it.

The maid next to her was a tough guy, but unfortunately she couldn't bear the punishment from Dali Temple, so her mouth was quickly pried open.

Then, Dali Temple unexpectedly discovered that from Lu Chan getting close to the third prince, to entering the third prince's house, and gaining favor from him every night, all of this was the plan of Lu Jingyuan, the other's brother.

Including, Lu Chan's most trusted maids are all Lu Jingyuan's people.

The other party's actions seemed quite ambitious.

Therefore, Dali Temple began to dig deeper.

They wanted to interrogate Lu Jingyuan, but he happened to be a guest at the Ganqing County Lord's Mansion last night, and he was also burned down.

People who are more sensitive already feel that something is wrong.How could it be such a coincidence?
This matter needs to be investigated carefully!

The coffin of the third prince will be kept in rest for seven days. After that, it needs to be stored separately until a suitable date is determined before being buried in the imperial mausoleum.

After seven days of spiritual cessation, the New Year will pass immediately.

This also means that this year, the royal family members will not have a good life.

Although the condolence only lasted for five days, for the remaining two days, all the servants of the palace, as well as the prince's concubines and concubines, kept vigil at the funeral.

But it also caused a lot of trouble for the clan members.

Because his son is gone, His Majesty has no thoughts to deal with the annual banquet.

Therefore, the annual banquet was carried out a little hastily.

When Concubine Shu knew her son was gone, she almost burst into tears.

His Majesty was soft-hearted and almost released her. Although she would not be reinstated as a concubine, she had been in the palace for many years and had two princes. She had been favored by him for many years. So it was reasonable to be promoted to a concubine or something like that?
but……

During the New Year's banquet, the singing and dancing were still the same, and the Moon Messenger in the West Tower performed a slender dance that once again aroused His Majesty's heart.

Compared with the old love, the new love that is still unavailable is more exciting.

Therefore, the desire to favor Shubin again was suppressed once again.

Out of guilt, he gave the Ninth Prince a lot of rewards, and also gave him two more dishes for the annual banquet to show that his favor was still there.

However, for the Song family, they did not show any intention of regaining their favor.

The third prince is gone, and the ninth prince is young. Not to mention his ambition, he can't compare with the third prince, nor can he compare with his brains.

The third prince is not smart, and the ninth prince is even worse than him!
The Song family is still being suppressed everywhere. Looking at the situation in front of them, they can already foresee their own ending.

But who would be willing to do that?

During the annual banquet, although there were two officials in the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Siye and Xiao Nianzhi.

However, their official ranks are not high enough and they cannot enter the palace to have a banquet.

Therefore, the whole family happens to be in harmony and can enjoy eating and drinking at home.

The third prince has just left, and his head is still burning. His Majesty's thoughts are quite difficult to guess now.

So, at this time, the further away from him the better!

Like now, I feel more comfortable eating and drinking in my own house.

At the annual banquet...

Maybe something happened.

Yan Xingxuan came here before the Chinese New Year and sent a lot of things. He also talked to Xiao Nianzhi about the death of the third prince and the extermination of the Ganqing County Lord's Palace.

Of course, he has also reported the unusual things in Yu Mingchao to the emperor's brother, and Dali Temple is also investigating.

The current situation is that Lu Jingyuan did enter the main palace of Ganqing County that night, but no one knew where he came out later.

When the autopsy was done, the total number of people in the house was consistent, but no one is sure whether it is this person or not.

After all, who has become a pile of bones, who can tell the difference between the two?
As for Yu Mingchao?
He is no longer at his residence, and his current whereabouts are unknown.

For Xiao Nianzhi, these are hidden bombs that may explode at any time.

On a good New Year's Eve, Xiao Nianzhi doesn't want to think about those complicated and troublesome things for the time being, and just wants to have a good New Year first.

As for other things?

Let’s talk about it later in the year!
