Chapter 357 Reasons
Zhaozheng Hall.
"I understand. You can go back first."
"Chen and concubine retire."
Qin Zhi tapped the memorial paper on the desk with his fingertips.
It has been basically confirmed that the burning of the concubine Huang Zhongling was not an accident, but a man-made tragedy.
Who did this?
The eldest is Mingyu, the third is Mingjin, the fourth is Mingyin, the fifth is Mingzhang, the sixth is Mingjun, the eighth is Mingyan, the ninth is Mingxuan...
Maybe there is also Mingyue, and their mother.
Except for the victims, the Seventh Brother Mingrui and Concubine Yi, everyone seems to be a suspect.
The concubine Huang Zhongling who was burned to death was the youngest daughter of Huang Yanzhe.
Huang Yanzhe is regarded as a sage of the time because of his thoughts, character, knowledge, virtue, achievements and words.
When my grandfather was in power, Huang Yanzhe was a talented person known for his literary virtues. He was granted the title of Xin'an Earl for his military achievements in suppressing the rebellion.
He was proficient in both civil and military affairs, and had both moral integrity and talent. He could fight on horseback and write on foot. He was also an author of many books and articles. People at that time said that he was a man of all talents and virtues in his eight-foot-tall stature.
Although Xin'an Earl Huang Yanzhe is only the Right Censor-in-Chief nowadays, his reputation is extremely loud and he has many imitators and followers.
The disciples who came under his tutelage were all well-known elites both inside and outside the government.
Meng Wu Yue got in touch with Huang Yanzhe's step-wife through Meng Song's wife, and made Huang Yanzhe's step-wife agree to the marriage of their children. Under this tacit understanding, he decided on Huang Zhongling as the future consort of the seventh prince.
During the talent show, Huang Yanzhe's young daughter Huang Zhongling was burned to death.
Now Imperial Concubine Yi and the Seventh Prince must be extremely worried.
Imperial Concubine Yi had taken great pains to find a princess consort for the seventh prince, who, though not very pretty, was the most cost-effective prince consort. Now she had died tragically in the palace.
Which kid of his could be so ruthless?
"Who is the mastermind? Who did it? Who was involved?"
Zhang Deli stood quietly by the side.
Dare not speak.
He thought that the murderous intentions of the princes would at least be revealed in the outer court, after they each tasted power a few years later.
Now the first drop of blood in the fight between brothers has fallen. It shouldn't happen so early.
But he was not surprised. He had watched the royal heirs grow up, and he had known for a long time that they were smart and precocious.
I don’t know if it’s because of Lu Shanggong’s spiritual spring water.
The royal heirs had been using the spiritual spring water since their mothers discovered they were pregnant, and they were continuously nourished by the spiritual spring water after they were born.
It's not surprising to be precocious.
The prince's wife's family is one of their most important forces.
The destined maternal family, the married wife's family, and the power formed by people recruited by using the prince's status and talents, these three parties constitute the most basic support for the prince.
Having said that, this was the first time he had seen someone directly targeting the future princess and striking at the prince's power.
Huang Zhongling's death was a foregone conclusion, but a rumor still spread in the palace.
It is said that Concubine Yi often summoned the beautiful girl Huang Zhongling to Luanyi Palace, intending to make Huang Zhongling the principal wife of the Seventh Prince.
However, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was disgusted with the plain-looking Huang Zhongling and fell in love with another unknown beautiful girl in Chuxiu Palace.
This unknown beautiful girl was extremely jealous of Huang Zhongling.
This rumor seemed to imply that the murder was caused by jealousy among the concubines, but its intention to target His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was also obvious.
Although His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is somewhat aloof and arrogant, he is by no means a bad person, nor a stupid person.
Regardless of whether he liked Huang Zhongling or not, or even whether Huang Zhongling had any powerful family support behind her, the Seventh Prince would not be so cruel to her as to burn her alive.
The person behind this bloody murder burned Huang Zhongling alive, not only cutting off the Seventh Prince's support, but also making His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince bear the reputation of being disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust.
It's so cruel.
