Ugly Princess: The Second Marry of the Bloodthirsty Eighth Prince

Chapter 42

The man in black said respectfully: "My subordinates have verified that the killer who assassinated Princess Jing on the street yesterday was someone from Phantom Palace."

"Who is the owner?"

"Seven Princes."

"Hum..." Someone on the other side sneered, "The Seventh Prince was dismissed from the title of prince last time, but now he still acts so impetuously and recklessly. He hasn't grown up a little bit of mind and doesn't mind the consequences. It's hard to achieve great things."

Shangguan Fengxuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the person who spoke, it was Xiao Wendao, the Prime Minister of the current court, and also the biological father of the current Empress Dowager, his maternal grandfather, because he and the current Emperor were born of the same mother.

It's just that his grandfather is closer to him.

Hmph, his imperial brother is incompetent, the throne will be handed over sooner or later, and whoever can win the throne depends on his ability.

Shangguan Fengxuan looked at the other person present, the famous man in front of the emperor and queen, Wei Lingguang, Eunuch Wei, the head of the House of Internal Affairs.

Wei Lingguang was originally a celebrity in front of the first emperor. After the death of the eldest prince, he appointed the second prince as the heir apparent. The first emperor did not want to change the legacy of making the elder the heir apparent, but he was worried that the second prince would be weak in nature and would be difficult to take on the heavy responsibility. Teach Wei Lingguang to assist from the side.

However, Wei Lingguang's heart was attached to the fourth prince, and he expected that in the future battle for the prince's succession, the deep-seated fourth prince would have the greatest chance of winning, so he secretly walked with the fourth prince until the fourth prince was named Prince Duan at a young age. It is certain that this person is capable.

Today's emperor is weak and incompetent, his sons and daughters love each other, and he has no intention of political affairs. Almost all the power of the government is in the hands of the current empress Shen Wenjun. Shen Wenjun is Shen Bijun's half-sister and the daughter of King Ninghe.

Back then, both daughters of King Ninghe received marriage gifts, the eldest daughter was given a marriage to the eldest prince, and the youngest daughter was given a marriage to the second prince.Unexpectedly, on the day of the wedding, the sedan chair went wrong, the youngest daughter, Shen Bijun, was sent to the prince's mansion, while Shen Wenjun was sent to the second prince's mansion. After that, the eldest prince went to the palace to face the saint, saying that if he wanted to make a mistake, he would make the mistake, and the saint agreed. .

Thus, Shen Bijun became the eldest prince's concubine, while the elder sister Shen Wenjun married the second prince.

Eight years later, the prince fell off a horse and died. The second prince succeeded him as the prince, and Shen Wenjun was named the prince Yuanfei.

Shen Bijun became a widow.

Now the empress Shen Wenjun is in charge of the court, and her relatives are in charge of politics, the court is uneasy, and the princes are fighting openly and secretly.

Wei Lingguang flicked the whisk in his hand, puzzled and said: "This Seventh Prince is fine, why would he want to kill this Princess Jing, King Jing has been lying in bed for three years, and died last month, what good does it do him?"

Shangguan Fengxuan smiled: "My father-in-law forgot, Princess Jing, who is it?"

Wei Lingguang frowned and said: "Everyone knows that the Princess of Beicang Kingdom married the deceased King Jing in order to keep the lonely King Jing for three years?"

After Wei Lingguang finished speaking, Xiao Wendao on the side continued: "This is exactly what the Seventh Prince likes. He thinks that killing the princess who came from the North Cang Kingdom will arouse the anger of the North Cang Kingdom. The country and Dongling once again turned against each other and provoked a war, so he would like to invite Ying to lead the army, get the soldier talisman, and win the first place."
