"The Second Prince requests an explanation from the Great Xuan Country." Once he returned to the Female Envoy Palace, Yuan Jin's first words came out of his mouth, "We must find the assassin within three days."

"Three days?" Mo Weinong raised her eyebrows fiercely.

They all knew that the culprit was Prince Ji, who desired to stir up trouble, but had no evidence. Furthermore, even if Prince Ji did such a thing, he was one of the three great kings with different surnames, so unless he rebelled, he could not use any excuse to kill the three kings.

Now that there was no solid evidence to prove it, even if there was, Luo Wenyuan would not be able to deal with the Prince Ji.

No matter if it's the Emperor Xuanwu or the Prince Yan, everyone has the ability to deal with the Prince Ji. Furthermore, the Emperor Xuanwu was not the Kang Xi at that time, who was still a teenager. He had power and power, and also had unique skills in his hands, if he wanted to kill the Prince Ji, as long as he prepared a proper plan for it, it would not be a big problem.

However, the Emperor Xuanwu could not move. The moment he moved, it would give off the impression that he was going to deal with the three great king level entities. At that time, no matter if it was the Prince Yan or the King Cheng who had never seen him before and kept a low profile, both of them would start to fear each other.

And the Prince Yan did not want to make a move against him either. At least for now, Prince Ji was a thorn in his side. With in the front blocking him, whatever he did behind his back, it would not attract too much attention.

The Prince Ji was a very good shield.

Therefore, it was easy to deal with the Prince Ji, but once the Prince Ji fell, the chaos and trouble would follow. No matter whether it was the Emperor Xuanwu or the Prince Yan, they would all be put in a passive position.

Taking a step back, even if the two of them didn't have any thoughts, they would still be pushed to the opposite of what was going on right now.

Emperor Xuanwu was clear about these things. Prince Yan was clear. He was also clear about it, which was why he was acting so unbridled.

But now, Luo Wenyuan wanted Great Xuan Country to give an explanation to the culprit within three days. If not, Great Xuan Country would not let this matter go. And obviously, Luo Wenyuan would not be satisfied with just handing over a scapegoat.

And Emperor Xuanwu did not want to hand over a scapegoat. If he did not tell others, Prince Ji would think that he was afraid of him and be even more arrogant. Furthermore, this was all planned by the Prince Ji. His original intention was to instigate a war between the two countries, so he would naturally not let this scapegoat exist to reconcile the two countries.

The situation seemed to have reached a dead end.

Mo Weinong sat on the imperial concubine's bed in her room, drinking tea as she said, "If we don't get the results within three days, will there really be a war?"

"This is only the worst case scenario, war might not happen, but there is a certain price that must be paid for Great Xuan Country." Yuan Jin's finger lightly tapped on the table, as though he was thinking about something.

Mo Weinong pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at him.

It was a long while before he asked, "Then you …" "What's your plan now?"

Yuan Jin laughed, "Speaking of which, I can stay out of this matter, after all, this mountain and river belongs to the Emperor, if there is anything he can decide, that will be enough, I really do not want to wade in. Just stand by and watch the results. "

"What about now?" Mo Weinong raised her eyebrows and asked.

Yuan Jin laughed helplessly, "I'm afraid that it doesn't matter anymore. This mountain and river will be Zifeng's from now on. If a war really broke out, the people would be forced to flee and the country would be riddled with holes. Moreover, before Zifeng grows up, we should also get rid of the Prince Ji. "

"If that's the case, you'll be exposed in front of the emperor. Maybe you'll become the next thorn in his side, and the emperor will want to get rid of you as soon as possible."

Her senior brother was not a benevolent monarch like the late emperor. In other words, he was righteous. In other words, he was weak.

I heard that the late emperor was angered by Old Prince Ji to the point that his illness worsened and he died.

As for the Emperor Xuanwu who was a martial artist, he liked to use violence to suppress violence even more. Thus, less than a month after he ascended the throne, the old Prince Ji also died at home. No one knew who the culprit was, and no one left behind any clues.

After the current Prince Ji ascended to the throne, they had also been cautious in the early stages. However, he was still unable to suppress his stubborn and arrogant personality. These years, he had been getting more and more unscrupulous.

Emperor Xuanwu wanted to take care of him, but she couldn't let him die the same way she did with Old Prince Ji.

One dead Prince Ji could be said to be an accident, but two dead people would definitely cause others to think too much about it.

Now, once the Emperor Xuanwu opened a river to eliminate the Prince Ji, and then take action against the other two kings, he would definitely not be lenient.

Of course, Yuan Jin was clear about all of this, which was why he felt troubled.

Letting out a sigh, he helplessly said, "Therefore, I can only surrender myself."

"Hmm?" Mo Weinong asked curiously, "How do I submit?"

Yuan Jin looked at the sky outside and said, "Later, I'll bring you to see someone."

"Alright."

The two of them did not speak anymore, and ate dinner in Female Envoy Palace.

Mo Weinong realized that Yuan Jin had a tendency to take root in the Female Envoy Palace recently, and would come here every few days.

The news of Qin Zhenjiang's assassination had already spread far and wide, and many officials were worried sick.

Lan Qin went out to look around and she could hear a lot of news.

Especially the people who lived near Sunflower Lane, they all said they heard the sound of a fierce fight. There was still a lot of blood in that alley, and the smell of blood filled the entire alley. Many people left home and went somewhere else to live.

Because of the assassination attempt on Qin Zhenjiang, the atmosphere in the capital became depressed and uneasy.

Tang Ziji returned very late with the same news as before – there was no danger to his life, but he did not know when he would wake up.

To the Great Lie, the fact that Qin Zhenjiang had not awoken was still an extremely important matter.

Mo Weinong placed the small box that he gave her properly. Since she was already unconscious, it was already impossible for her to find out who his former fiancee was.

Mo Weinong really hoped that Qin Zhenjiang would wake up safely.

As the sky darkened, Mo Weinong donned a set of night clothes and followed the Prince Yan out.

"Just who are you taking me to see?" This road seemed to be headed outside the city.

At this time, the city gate was already closed. If he wanted to leave, he would have to spend a lot of time and effort.

However, just as the two were about to reach the city gate, Yuan Jin suddenly turned around and rushed in another direction.

Mo Weinong's face was full of doubt, but she still followed along quickly …

Finally, they stopped at the entrance to a seemingly unremarkable courtyard.

Before Yuan Jin could even knock on the door, someone rolled down from the wall and said, "Stop."

Yuan Jin was not surprised by the sudden arrival of this person, he only said in a low voice, "Inform your Master and tell him that he has come."

That person seemed to be stunned for a moment. A trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and he quickly turned around and entered the room.
