Chapter 478 The Third Prince Is Gone

Zi'an was suddenly enlightened that it was the Taifu.

It was the Taifu's people who wanted to kill Concubine Liang, and only this blow could drive her crazy.

Why did Taifu do this? It's very simple, if Concubine Liang commits suicide, King Liang will be tainted, and it will be difficult to be established as a prince.

Zi'an was not surprised that the Taifu did not allow King Liang to become the prince, because in his eyes, there was no family affection at all.

If he wanted to stand up, he couldn't attach himself to King Liang. King Liang had already spurned him, and he didn't even want to look him straight.

He had cooperated with King Nanhuai before, and knew that King Nanhuai was a villain, so he probably would not cooperate with King Nanhuai again. Moreover, King Liang said, the people who used to be grand masters in the court are already working with King Nanhuai. Against.

So, who will Tai Tu cooperate with?

Concubine Yi? Concubine Ke Yi is currently tied to King Nanhuai.

Zi An was really puzzled.

Could it be that she was secretly cooperating with Concubine Yigui, while Concubine Yigui made an alliance with King Nanhuai on the surface? If this is the case, it makes sense, because Concubine Yigui had a confident look before, if there is no support behind her, where does she have the confidence?

Concubine Yi seemed arrogant and reckless, but looking back on what she did, it seemed like a grass snake and gray lines, with thousands of miles of potential.

The purpose of colluding with the prince and having an affair is to get close to Liang Taifu, and to know Liang Taifu's every move from the prince's mouth. The prince is stupid and doesn't know how to guard against the people next to him, so naturally he told her everything.

After the Taifu lost power, she approached the Taifu and asked for his contacts to form an alliance with him.

She has been making troubles arrogantly before, seemingly without purpose, but in fact, she wants to divert attention, so that everyone thinks that she is going to target her, the princess regent, so that she can turn around and deal with Concubine Liang, so that no one can expect more. Can't be stopped.

If it is true, Zian knows that his rival has never been a noble concubine, but a noble concubine Yi.

Zi An immediately left the palace the next morning to find Hu Huanxi.

Only Hu Huanxi can understand her thinking. Although Zhuang Zhuang is smart, sometimes he can't keep up.

She and Hu Huanxi talked about the current situation. The two imagined many possibilities, and Zian also analyzed the alliance between Yigui Concubine and Liang Taifu.

After listening to Zian's analysis, Hu Huanxi pondered for a while, "Your worries are very reasonable. If Master Liang and Concubine Yigui allege, who are they going to deal with next? You should have guessed it, right?"

Zian's face turned pale, "Well, I know."

"Now Aunt Snake is in the imperial concubine's palace, and you will all be lax, thinking that if you keep a close eye on the imperial concubine, the palace will be peaceful. Even Sun Fang'er entered the palace, but she couldn't discuss anything with the imperial concubine. rest assured."

Zi'an felt more and more frightened, "Huanxi, I'd better talk to you about clearing my mind, I have to go back to the palace right away."

"Zian!" Hu Huanxi called to her, "If you are short of manpower, I have it here."

"No, before Lao Qi left, he left a hidden guard for me." Zi'an left quickly.

If it's just a harem fight, the next person they have to deal with must be Zhuang Zhuang, and then her.

But if it's not just a battle in the harem, but a battle for the heir apparent, and if ruthless tactics are used from the very beginning, then Concubine Yi will not attack Zhuang Zhuang.

After Zi An returned to the palace, he immediately went to Concubine Mei's Palace.

"Where's the third prince?" Zi'an asked as soon as he entered.

"I went to the study room. I usually go there at Chen Shi, come back at noon and rest for an hour before going." Seeing her nervous expression, Concubine Mei asked, "What's wrong?"

Zian was still not sure, and didn't want to worry her, said: "It's okay, I suddenly remembered that the prince asked me to ask about his homework before he set off, and I came here while I was free today."

"Then why don't you come back at noon." Concubine Mei said, "It's rare that you miss him so much. I will definitely urge him to study hard."

"Okay, then I'll go first and come back at noon." Zi'an said with a smile.

Naturally, he couldn't wait until noon, so Zi'an immediately went to the study. In the study, Mr. Wen was angry. Mr. Wen was the teacher assigned by Murong Jie to the third prince later, and the previous one had already been replaced.

Mr. Wen is a scholar, a student of Mr. Yuan, although he is only in his forties, he is highly educated and has a high reputation. Murong Jie is full of praise for him.

"Master Wen!" Zi'an went in and asked.

When Master Wen saw Zi'an coming, he stood up and greeted him, "Is the princess here? I'm sorry to welcome you."

"You don't need to be too polite, I'm here to see the third prince, where is he?" Zi'an looked around but didn't see him.

"No, the lower official is getting angry. Just now he said that his stomach hurts. He went to the latrine. After going there for half an hour, he didn't come back. The lower official ordered the schoolboy to look for him, but he didn't see him. Since the lower official taught him, he has been He had never been like this before, and he thought he had changed his temper, when Master Qi taught him before, he said that he likes to skip classes." Master Wen vomited bitterly.

"Half an hour ago?" Zian frowned, "Does he really have a stomachache?"

"The lower official also thought it was true. He covered his stomach, kept complaining about the pain, and ran out like flying, also in the direction of Gongfang. The lower official waited for a quarter of an hour, but he didn't see him coming back, so he said I sent schoolboys to look for him, but there was no one in Gong’s room, and the eunuchs near Gong’s room also said they had never seen him come.”

Zi'an's heart skipped a beat, but he still comforted Mr. Wen on the face, "Well, I'll order someone to look for it. If it is confirmed that he is really skipping class, I will definitely punish him severely."

"Thank you, Princess." Mr. Wen saluted.

"You're welcome!" Zian turned around and left. After leaving, he ordered Dao Boss, "Immediately send my order to send people from Huiqing Palace to look for the third prince."

"Yes!" The knife boss took the order and left.

"Wait!" Zian walked up quickly, and said in a low voice: "This matter should not be made public, and don't let it reach the emperor's ears."

"yes!"

Zi'an returned to Huiqing Palace and told Zhuang Zhuang about the disappearance of the third prince. Zhuang Zhuang immediately ordered the gates of the palaces to be closed, no one was allowed to enter the palace, and no one was allowed to leave the palace.

After searching, he found Tian Hei, but he couldn't find the third prince.

The palace has been sealed off, and all the people who left the palace today are recorded in the register. Zhuang Zhuang got the list from the palace guard and came back to study it with Zi'an.

Concubine Mei also knew that the third prince was missing, so she came to Huiqing Palace with red eyes. As a mother, she was strong, and she refrained from crying, fearing that things would spread.

"Check out the people who left the palace, and see where they went after they left the palace." Zhuang Zhuang gave an order that no one should be spared, and everyone must be checked.

"Do you want to invite Aunt Snake?" Zi'an asked.

"Okay." Zhuang Zhuang ordered Qin Zhi to invite Aunt A Snake.

The old lady is not here today, she left the palace last night.

When Aunt A Snake heard that the third prince was missing, she asked Qinzhi for three copper coins and threw them on the table. She divided the copper coins into their positions and frowned.

"He is still alive, but he is no longer in the palace, he was transported out of the palace." Aunt Snake said.

Zi'an and Zhuangzhuang looked at each other, it would be hard to find someone outside the palace.

Concubine Mei asked: "Your old man knows that he is not in the palace just by tossing a copper coin like this?"

Aunt A Snake said indifferently: "Your ancestors have always been good at medical divination and astrology. I have followed her for so many years and learned a little bit."
