"Prince Chiang is dead?!"

Daohua looked at Wang Maner in shock.

Wang Maner nodded fiercely: "It has spread outside."

Daohua rubbed her forehead, with doubts in her eyes: "Weren't we arresting Xiao Yechi? Why did the person who died become the Crown Prince of Jiang?"

Not only Daohua couldn't believe it, but everyone in the capital couldn't believe it either.

In less than half a year, the eldest grandson and eldest son of the Jiang family died one after another. Now only the elderly Duke Cheng'en is left to support the Jiang family, which is really unexpected.

"The Jiang family is so domineering, is this retribution coming?"

Before everyone could finish marveling at the death of Prince Jiang, the Duke of Wei's mansion was ransacked by officers and soldiers again. The masters of the Luo family were each put in shackles and forced into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting to be executed.

"Why was Duke Wei's house ransacked?"

"I heard that the Duke of Wei is also a member of the Eight Kings. The son of the Eight Princes returned to Beijing this time to contact them."

"The Eight Kings' gangsters should be arrested."

The Eight Kings conspired to rebel, colluded with the Tatars in northern Xinjiang, and seriously injured the Daxia army. These things made the people have no good impression of the Eight Kings.

Dong Yuanyao and Sun Changze stood in the crowd, listening to everyone's denunciation of the Luo family, their expressions had never been more relaxed.

Sun Changze squeezed Dong Yuanyao's hand and said with a smile, "You should feel relieved now."

Dong Yuanyao smiled and nodded: "Without the threat from the Luo family, even if Xiliang becomes barren and bitter, I believe that with my eldest brother here, the Dong family can live well."

......

Xiao Yeyang came back when the sky was clear again.

Looking at his bloodshot eyes, Daohua let him rest on her legs and pressed acupuncture points on his head to relieve fatigue.

After returning home, Xiao Yeyang's tense nerves relaxed and he said with some regret: "I'm afraid Xiao Yechi won't be able to catch him."

Daohua: "How did Xiao Yechi get out of the city?"

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "Thanks to the efforts of the Jiang family."

Daohua looked stunned, and then asked in confusion: "Then how did Prince Jiang die?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Xiao Yechi killed Prince Jiang in order to buy himself more time to escape."

Daohua: "If the Jiang family is willing to help Xiao Yechi, they must have reached some kind of deal with him. Now that Prince Jiang is dead, Duke Chengen may be so regretful that his intestines will turn green."

This is not the first time that the Jiang family has shot itself in the foot.

"By the way, the Jiang family and Xiao Yechi colluded. How will the emperor deal with the Jiang family?"

Xiao Yeyang sighed: "Cheng'en Gong and the Jiang family members insisted that Prince Jiang went to capture Xiao Yechi. In addition, the Jiang family and the Wan family had a long-standing hatred, and no one thought that the Jiang family would fight with Xiao Yechi.

Yechi collusion."

Daohua: "Then let this matter go?"

The corner of Xiao Yeyang's mouth curled up: "For Xiao Yechi and the Jiang family, to the emperor's uncle, one is a foreign trouble and the other is an internal trouble."

"In order to deal with foreign affairs, we must first settle the domestic affairs. Because one Xiao Yechi died as the next head of the Jiang family, it was an unexpected surprise for Uncle Huang."

"Uncle Huang, who has gained a lot, will leave a bad reputation if he continues to suppress the Jiang family without any conclusive evidence at this time."

"Moreover, the Jiang family has lost its eldest son, eldest grandson, Duke Cheng'en, and the Queen Mother. They are probably on the verge of collapse at this moment. If the emperor's uncle keeps chasing them, they are likely to do something drastic."<

/p>

"Jiang Banchao didn't just shout randomly. For the sake of the stability of the court, Uncle Huang will not touch the Jiang family at this time."

Daohua nodded, and then said with worry on her face: "You led the people to chase Xiao Yechi. Will the Queen Mother and Cheng'en Guild blame you for the death of Prince Jiang?"

Xiao Yeyang showed a solemn expression on his face: "Jiang Jinghui, I was present at the death of Crown Prince Jiang. Given the temperament of the Queen Mother and Duke Chengen, they will definitely anger me." He said, looking at Daohua, "I'm not afraid, but you are.

, when you go out in the future, be sure to bring more people with you."

Daohua nodded solemnly: "I will try to go out as little as possible."

......

Cheng'en Palace.

The white flags that had just been removed were hung up again, and Duke Chengen lay hunched over in front of the coffin of Prince Chiang, his face and eyes full of regret.

If he had not been greedy for the treasure left by the late emperor, he would not have agreed to cooperate with Xiao Yechi, so that his son would not have died.

Xiao Yechi......

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a descendant of Concubine Wan Gui. Like Concubine Wan Gui, he is ruthless and poisonous and has no credibility at all.

He shouldn’t seek skin from a tiger!

......

Cining Palace.

When she learned that Prince Chiang was dead, the Queen Mother fainted and slept all night before slowly waking up.

Seeing the Queen waiting at the side, the Queen Mother closed her eyes in defeat and pain.

The Jiang family...is the building really going to collapse?

The queen was also at a loss. Her eldest brother and the eldest grandson of the Jiang family were both dead. The second brother was paralyzed on the bed again. The eldest son of the second brother also broke his leg. Now, none of the male heirs of the Jiang family are decent and responsible.

Only my old father struggled to support me.

How did the Jiang family lose so quickly?!

The Queen hesitated for a moment and looked at the Queen Mother: "Aunt, the Jiang family can no longer withstand the torment. From now on, we will just be the Emperor's ministers peacefully, okay?"

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she looked at the Queen coldly: "Are you trying to side with the Emperor?"

The queen immediately knelt down and looked at the queen mother pleadingly: "Aunt, I don't want to favor the emperor. I just want the Jiang family to be well and hope that my father can enjoy his old age."

"Aunt, would you let me go? You are the emperor's nominal mother. As long as the Jiang family does not disobey the emperor, the emperor will not touch the Jiang family for the sake of his own reputation."

"But if... you continue to do treacherous and unethical things, then the Jiang family will really be doomed."

The Queen Mother sneered: "Treason? Your Majesty's throne was won by treacherous means. The winner is the king or the loser. As long as the Jiang family wins in the end, will you dare to say that the Jiang family is treason?"

Seeing what the queen wanted to say, the queen mother stopped her directly: "Queen, you have to remember your identity. You are the daughter of the Jiang family. Only when the Jiang family is well can your position as queen be stable."

"Aunt..."

Seeing the paranoia on the Queen Mother's face, the Queen's heart continued to sink.

The eldest brother and Jing Hui are already dead. If the fight continues, who will be the next person to die in the Jiang family?

The Queen Mother said coldly: "The Emperor will not hold back on the Jiang family. If we do nothing, then we can only be the fish on the Emperor's chopping board."

The Queen failed to persuade the Queen Mother and left Cining Palace worriedly.

......

The death of Prince Jiang disrupted all arrangements made by the Queen Mother and Duke Chengen, and all previous plans were overturned. As a result, after the funeral of Prince Jiang, the Jiang family fell into complete silence.

The Jiang family was silent, but the Queen Mother became high-profile, calling the prince and princess to Cining Palace for chats every now and then.

In this regard, the emperor did not stop him, but continued to send imperial guards and Jinling guards to keep an eye on the Jiang family.

The emperor wanted to use the arrest of Xiao Yechi to reinstate Xiao Yeyang to his post. When the Queen Mother heard about it, she immediately called Xiao Yeyang to Cining Palace and raised the issue of pointing people again.

After being rejected by Xiao Yeyang, rumors spread in the palace that Xiao Yeyang was disobedient to the Queen Mother.

Compared with the last time, this time the Queen Mother was determined to throw dirty water on Xiao Yeyang. Every time she called her concubine into the palace to pay her respects, she would accuse Xiao Yeyang of being unfilial.

As a result, within a few days, Xiao Yeyang once again became a man of the hour in the capital.

And Xiao Yeyang's reputation, spread by people with ulterior motives, is even worse than when he was a child.

"To discredit you, what are you trying to do, Queen Mother?"

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang in confusion.
