Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 371: Letter of Informer

With the imperial edict of succession, the third prince can legitimately succeed to the throne.

By then, even if Jamel Xiao had objections, it would be too late.

Unless Xiao Jingyi leads his troops in rebellion.

However, since there was an imperial decree to pass on the throne, the third prince had the right to do so. If Xiao Jingyi led an army to rebel, he would be a traitor and could be killed by anyone.

At that time, the third prince can command all the troops in the world to come to the king and kill Xiao Jingyi.

No matter how powerful Xiao Jingyi is, two fists cannot beat four hands.

In the end, the only thing waiting for him is death.

Thinking of this, the third prince felt pleased.

He looked at Mr. Wen and smiled, "Thank you Mr. Wen for this generous gift. I like it very much!"

When Mr. Wen saw this, he realized that the Third Prince understood what he meant.

He bowed and made a gesture of submission.

"Then I wish Your Highness a successful start and all that you wish for!"

The Third Prince was pleased by Mr. Wen's words, and he generously promised: "I will never forget your contribution."

After the third prince left, Mr. Wen did not leave immediately, but drank tea leisurely in the private room.

After drinking a cup of tea, Mr. Wen suddenly sneered and uttered two words in a low voice: "idiot!"

Then he put down the teacup, stood up and left Mingyue Tower.

Not long after the Third Prince and Mr. Wen left Mingyue Tower one after another, a secret letter was delivered to Zuo Yan, the commander of the Shadow Blade Division.

After Zuo Yan received the secret letter, he took a look at it and immediately went into the palace to meet Jing **.

Jing ** frowned when he learned that the Third Prince had secretly met a man in Mingyue Tower tonight, and that the man had previously hidden beside the Third Prince as an advisor and was very likely related to the Moon Clan.

"Did you hear what they said when they met?"

Zuo Yan lowered his eyes and replied, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Third Prince is protected by secret guards. I was afraid that if I got too close, I would be discovered. Therefore, I alerted the enemy and was unable to hear their conversation clearly."

"But that person gave the Third Prince a package."

"The Third Prince's reaction was a little strange. He seemed to attach great importance to the package, but also seemed a little afraid."

"After leaving Mingyue Tower, I asked someone to take the package and send him back to the mansion in two groups."

Jing** also felt strange after hearing this.

"Go check what's strange about that package?"

Zuo Yan responded with a yes.

Jing** thought that he had been investigating the remnants of the Moon Clan for a long time, but there had been no substantial progress.

Those people are so cunning that they don't hold back.

Even though they captured their young master and locked him up in the Sky Prison, and released information as bait several times, they still failed to uncover the main force.

Now there is someone suspected to be a member of the Moon Clan in contact with the Third Prince, Jing ** immediately realized that this is an opportunity.

These evil-minded Moon Clan members are truly a serious threat.

If he didn't get rid of these rebellious Moon tribe members, Jing** wouldn't feel safe when sleeping.

"Don't touch the person who has contact with the Third Prince for now."

"Keep a close eye on him and see who he comes into contact with."

"Don't alert the enemy. Wait until you have a thorough understanding of the situation before catching them all in one fell swoop!"

It is useless to capture one or two people. What Jing** wants is to catch the top leaders of this force and completely destroy it.

Zuo Yan bowed and agreed.

Seeing that Jing** had no other instructions, he withdrew.

Jing** sat behind the dragon table, feeling vaguely uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

He pinched his brows, pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and took a wolf-hair brush from the pen holder.

After dipping the tip of the pen into ink, splash it on the paper.

After the handwriting was slightly dry, Jing** folded the letter, put it in the envelope, and sealed it with wax.

Then he called Eunuch Gao and said, "Send this letter to General Liao at the Xishan Camp."

"Go quietly and don't alarm anyone!"

Eunuch Gao's heart trembled when he heard this, as if he understood something. He replied "yes" in a low voice and walked out of the hall.

Jing** let out a long breath.

Although he didn't understand where the uneasiness came from, Xiao Jingyi and his wife were not in the capital at the moment. Although Xiao Jingmo was a beautiful jade, he was still young and could not bear the burden.

He had to make some preparations in private.

It would be fine if nothing happened.

But if something really happens, the backup plan he prepared will come in handy.

That night.

After taking a bath, the eldest prince was about to go to bed when he suddenly found a letter on the table.

He did not touch the letter rashly, but called the guard outside the door and asked:

"Who sent this letter?"

The guard was surprised and said, "I have been guarding outside the door, and no one has entered."

The eldest prince happened to be sitting at the table drinking a cup of tea before taking a bath, so he remembered clearly that there was no letter on the table at that time.

After drinking his tea, he went straight to take a bath.

When I came out of the shower, I saw a letter on the table.

So the letter could have been put in by someone while he was taking a bath.

When the guard at the gate said that no one had come in during this period, the eldest prince's face turned gloomy.

The fact that he was able to avoid the guards at the door and put the letter in silently shows that he is quite skilled in martial arts.

That's why no one was alarmed.

He came here today just to deliver a letter, but could he be killed quietly tomorrow?

Thinking of this, the eldest prince suddenly felt a chill on his back and his face became even uglier.

The guard seemed to realize something and knelt down hurriedly to apologize.

The eldest prince glanced at him coldly, "Get out and receive your punishment!"

The guard dared not say anything more and bowed his head to accept the punishment.

After having the letter checked and confirmed that it was not smeared with poison and had no traps, the eldest prince picked up the letter and read it.

When he first read the letter, he was a little careless.

But after scanning two lines, he suddenly sat up straight and his breathing became heavy.

After reading the letter, the eldest prince was half-believing and half-doubting, but he couldn't help showing a bit of joy.

This is because the letter said that the Third Prince managed to obtain a set of tea sets used by a smallpox patient in Shuozhou, and intended to use this set of tea sets on Your Majesty.

Once Your Majesty is infected with smallpox, we can join forces with Concubine Cui and Queen Mother Cui to seal off the palace.

Once His Majesty dies of smallpox, the Third Prince will be able to forge an imperial decree to ascend the throne**.

This news is really shocking.

The eldest prince could never have imagined that the third prince would be so courageous.

If he had not received this letter of accusation today, the Third Prince's plan might have succeeded.

After all, Xiao Jingyi is far away in Shuozhou now, and the eldest prince has sent a group of assassins to Shuozhou, who are determined to make Xiao Jingyi's life stay in Shuozhou.

He thought that the Third Prince would not show mercy and would definitely send people to kill Xiao Jingyi.

There is a high probability that Xiao Jingyi will not be able to leave Shuozhou City this time.

The eldest prince had not yet had time to deploy the next step, but he did not expect that the third prince had already started taking action.
