The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 169 Princess Yi hangs herself, Prime Minister's Mansion is destroyed

"Qi Shi, I have some important matters to attend to in Fengyao right now, please go and bring the young lady back!"

Qi Tianchen gave the order to Qi Shi with a serious face.

Not long ago, he took over Yingsong Tower from Mingnuo.

At this moment, he absolutely could not abandon the affairs in Yingsong Tower and leave.

More importantly, the situation in Fengyao City is complicated and changing rapidly.

Whether it was out of consideration for the Prince of Qi's Mansion or out of consideration for the promise to Ming Nuo.

He absolutely cannot leave at this critical moment.

"I obey your orders, sir."

After Qi Shitou received the task, he quickly bowed and saluted in response.

Qi Tianchen thought about it for a moment and felt that he should explain something more.

So, he continued, “What if… Miss is determined not to come back with you.

Then, you should accompany her to the western border to find Brother Jingxuan.

When you meet the young lady, remember to convey my words.

No matter how Brother Jingxuan reacts, that is the choice she needs to face!

It can be considered as... it's all about her courage in her heart!"

Hearing this, Qi Shi couldn't help but feel very surprised. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Tianchen.

Miss, are you going to see Mr. Gu? Miss, what do you think of Mr. Gu?

But soon, he lowered his head silently, lowered his eyes, and replied softly: "Yes! I understand."

After Qi Shi left, Qi Tianchen was alone, staring quietly at the letter in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

I just hope that Brother Jingxuan can consider my feelings and not make Siyuan look too embarrassed even if he refuses.

He has known Brother Jingxuan for a long time, but he has never heard that Brother Jingxuan has fallen in love with any woman.

Once, he thought that Brother Jingxuan might have a crush on Mingnuo.

However, it turned out to be just a beautiful misunderstanding.

In his opinion, this is Brother Jingxuan's most firm belief deep in his heart.

Nothing better than inheriting his parents' will and shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Fuguogong Mansion.

……

Prime Minister's Mansion

The atmosphere in the palace was tense and solemn. Prime Minister Li Si was furious and shouted, "Where are the people?!"

The sound was deafening, echoing throughout the mansion.

The butler beside him trembled and lowered his head to reply, his face full of worry:

"My Lord, I haven't found the young master yet.

Since the young master and Prince Yi entered the palace together three days ago, there has been no news. "

Li Si was so angry that he was furious and yelled, "Idiot! What a complete idiot!

Doesn't he know that doing this will kill our entire family?"

Obviously, Li Si was extremely angry and disappointed about his son's participation in the rebellion.

Indeed, Li Feng's following Prince Yi in rebellion was undoubtedly an extremely foolish act.

But at this moment, Prime Minister Li seemed to have forgotten that it was he who personally made the connection and allowed Li Feng to follow Prince Yi to do things.

Not only that, the daughter of the Prime Minister's family is also the second prince's wife.

It can be said that their family has long been involved in this power struggle.

Li Feng's engagement with Miss Feng Jingling of the Feng family was something that Prime Minister Li fully supported and facilitated.

After all, if the entire Feng family were to be exterminated, all nine clans would be wiped out.

Then the Prime Minister’s Mansion, as a relative by marriage, will certainly not be spared!

Not to mention, if Prime Minister Li claimed that he knew nothing about Prince Yi's attempt to rebel, I'm afraid even Emperor Qianyao might not believe it!

On that day, more than hundreds of people died tragically in Yide Palace.

Although Emperor Qianyao has ordered the relevant news in Yide Palace to be blocked.

But Li Si, who had been the prime minister for more than ten years, was not completely helpless if he really wanted to find out something.

However, this time, Prime Minister Li tried his best.

All available resources were mobilized, but no news of Li Feng was found.

"My Lord, I heard that Commander Feng escaped and the direction he went was the Western Territory!

Do you think... Will the young master also follow him?" the butler asked in a low voice.

Prime Minister Li's face was extremely gloomy, and he angrily scolded:

"How stupid! Does he think that escaping to the West will give him a chance of survival?

His Majesty has issued an edict, asking Gu Jingxuan of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion to go to the Western Border to replace Feng Yian, commanding an army of 300,000 and garrisoning the Western Border.

Feng Yian, recall Feng Yao today. If he refuses to obey, he will be killed without mercy!

The entire Feng Mansion has been imprisoned. Now that Feng Qing has escaped, Feng Yian will most likely not surrender. The Feng Mansion...is finished!"

Li Si closed his eyes and said in despair: "Our Prime Minister's Mansion is finished too!"

A look of shock and fear also appeared on the butler's face.

"My Lord, this is bad, my Lord... my Lord..."

The little maid's face was full of fear, she staggered, and cried as she ran.

"You bastard! Why are you so flustered?" the butler on the side shouted angrily.

"Young Miss...Prime Minister! It's the young lady, the young lady..."

The little maidservant was sobbing and her speech was intermittent.

"What happened to Miss?"

Since the day Prince Yi entered the palace, no news has been heard.

Li Si secretly guessed in his heart that Prince Yi might be in great danger.

So, he made a prompt decision and immediately brought his daughter Li Nian from the Second Prince's Mansion back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

I had thought that even if the emperor wanted to blame me, he would imprison Prince Yi.

At least before punishing him, he could ask King Yi to grant him a letter of divorce.

In this way, perhaps the eldest daughter Li Nian and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion can be saved.

As long as Li Feng is not caught on the spot and there is no conclusive evidence to show that he is in collusion with Prince Yi.

Then letting Li Nian and Prince Yi divorce should be the only way out for the Prime Minister's Mansion at the moment.

However, what no one expected was that Li Feng would actually escape with Prince Yi!

At this moment, Li Si was extremely anxious and shouted angrily, "Tell me quickly! What happened to the young lady?"

The maid's face was covered with tears as she stammered, "The young lady...she...she hanged herself!"

"What?!" Li Si's eyes went dark, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

The housekeeper stepped forward in time and supported the prime minister, but had not yet opened his mouth to comfort him.

Then he heard the servants outside the palace stumbling and shouting, "Prime Minister...Prime Minister...The palace...The palace has issued an order!"

Li Si closed his eyes, realizing that the situation was set and there was no chance of turning it around.

According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

Li Nian, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Li, was the principal wife of Prince Yi. However, Prince Yi had a rebellious heart and plotted evil, and he committed suicide.

Anyone who commits such a heinous crime is truly disloyal and unjust.

Li Qing, the eldest son of the Prime Minister, also colluded with Prince Yi and became his accomplice.

Now, Li Qing has disappeared without a trace for fear of being punished.

In order to rectify the government and enforce the law, the entire Prime Minister's family was executed!

Admire this!
