Chapter 1632 Rumors
Shi Xuanji followed the Crown Princess back to her residence in silence.
It wasn't until she entered the room and closed the door that the Crown Princess suddenly spoke: "Qingluan, do you think what happened to the Crown Prince this morning? Did he really have a nightmare?"
Shi Xuanji shook her head gently: "Reporting to the Crown Princess, although I don't know what happened to the Crown Prince, it is definitely not as simple as a nightmare."
"With the prince's cultivation, he has already been able to control his dreams. How could he be frightened by a dream?"
"If it was really a nightmare, there would only be one explanation, and that is that his dream was controlled by someone else, so he was shocked."
"If this is the case, it means that someone took action against the prince this morning or last night."
The Crown Princess frowned: "Who is it, the third prince? Or another prince?"
"Hey, it's true, Father, why are you giving birth to so many princes?"
"Watching a group of sons fighting for power every day, doesn't he get upset?"
"If there is only one son, the prince, my father will not have to hesitate about who to pass the throne to."
"I don't have to worry that I won't be able to sit on the throne of queen in the future."
Having said this, the Crown Princess suddenly sighed: "Today's situation in the court may be a sign of the future."
"When the prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, will I have to worry every day about who will compete with my son for the throne?"
Shi Xuanji opened her mouth when she heard this, wanting to say you don't have to worry.
On the way back just now, I had secretly mobilized the Feathered Immortal Veins to check the chances of the Holy Tree Longchang. I am very sure that the fate of the descendants of the Holy Tree Longchang has been severed.
So if nothing else happens, your son will be the only heir to the future throne.
Of course, the sacred tree Longchang must first ascend the throne.
Shi Xuanji also didn't expect that after weakening the fate of the holy tree Longchang, there would be such a result.
The Holy Tree Longchang is actually...unparalleled?
What a funny surprise!
"The crown prince's death is no small matter."
"Now, Holy Tree Longchang must be strictly blocking the news. That's not possible. This matter must be spread."
"I think those princes will definitely take advantage of this news."
Shi Xuanji thought to herself.
…
Two days later, on the streets of Holy Tree City, a shocking news suddenly spread——
Today's crown prince's sacred tree is long and prosperous, which is unprecedented!
There was obviously someone behind the news, so it spread throughout the Holy Tree City overnight.
From the princes and nobles to the beggars on the street, everyone is talking about this matter in private.
Bang!
In the Prince's Mansion, the Holy Tree Longchang threw a teacup on the ground, breaking it into pieces.
"Check! Let Gu Gu find out who is spreading this rumor?"
The holy tree Longchang roared angrily.
When he went to court this morning, he was on pins and needles.
The courtiers all pointed at him behind his back, and even the old emperor looked at him in a very strange way.
This is simply mental torture, and the holy tree Longchang is going crazy.
He really didn't understand how the news that he was inhumane leaked out.
In order to keep it a secret, he obviously didn't tell anyone about it.
Even the confidant sent out to investigate the poison matter, he only told them that he had been poisoned and his internal organs were injured.
But why did a secret that only he knew know spread throughout the Holy Tree City overnight?
No, there is another person who knows about this, and that is the person who poisoned me!
That person must have planned it long ago. Once Gu is poisoned, he will immediately make the news known to everyone.
"Okay, okay, I'm really going to do it one step at a time. Don't let Gu find out who you are, otherwise your life will be worse than death."
The holy tree Longchang gritted his teeth.
He raised his head and looked coldly at the men in front of him: "Do you have any clues about the person who poisoned you?"
Everyone looked at each other.
An old man said bravely: "Reporting to the prince, after the news spread on the street, we sent people to investigate."
"It turns out that several princes who are eligible to compete for the throne are secretly promoting the spread of the news."
"So if nothing else, the person who poisoned him is one of the princes."
"nonsense!"
The Holy Tree Longchang cursed loudly after hearing this, picked up the teacup and threw it out again.
The old man didn't dare to dodge and was hit on the head by the tea cup.
Fortunately, the immortal cultivator's head was hard enough, the teacup shattered, and there wasn't even a white mark on the old man's forehead.
If he were a mortal, his face would probably be covered with blood right now.
Holy Tree Longchang gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I know that the person who poisoned me is among them!"
"Only Gu's brothers in this court have the reason to poison Gu. Do you need to investigate this?"
"What I want you to find out is who among them poisoned them and how they poisoned them!"
"A bunch of trash, you can't even handle this, what use do you have?"
Everyone was trembling and frightened after being scolded.
At this moment, Holy Tree Longchang did not notice that among the group of subordinates, there was a middle-aged man with a more frightened look in his eyes than others.
This middle-aged man was the confidant sent by Shengshu Longchang to kill people and silence them.
"Hateful, who spread the news that the prince is inhumane?" The middle-aged man was itching with hatred.
Of course, he had known for a long time that it was not the other princes who poisoned the sacred tree Longchang.
Because on the morning when the sacred tree Longchang became inhumane, he also found that he was inhumane.
Other princes poisoned the prince, so would they go to such lengths to poison a minor character like him?
Who does he think he is?
After discovering that he was inhumane that day, the middle-aged man thought about it carefully and remembered that when the spy escaped from the Third Prince's Mansion, he also took a lot of poison with him.
When he killed someone to silence him, he accidentally broke the poison and got some on his body.
Now that he thinks about it, this is the reason why he and the prince were poisoned and inhumane.
But the middle-aged man dare not say it!
Although he did not intend to poison the prince, would the prince reason with you?
If the prince knew that he brought the poison back, he would probably chop him into 18,000 pieces, without repeating a single piece.
The only thing he wants now is to keep the secret that he cannot tell no matter what.
But the middle-aged man is also wondering, things that cannot be told, should only be known by himself and the prince.
I dare not say it!
The prince will not say it!
How did this get out?
"Could it be that the poison I was exposed to that day was not a coincidence, but someone secretly did something to it?"
The middle-aged man guessed in his heart.
This is also the only answer he can think of at present, and it is probably an answer that he will never be able to figure out.
Because if someone really did something behind the scenes, the other party could only target the prince Shengshu Longchang.
As for the enemy at the level of the prince, the middle-aged man did not think he had the ability to find out, nor did he dare to find out.
