631. Conclusion of the Investigation; Interrogate the Kid
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

"How is everything?"

Even though he had offered out the main seat, Duke Zeng still maintained his majesty and his voice was horribly low. Once it was proved that all this was a conspiracy, no matter who did it, he/she would become their enemy.

"After a careful search of Uncle Six and Yan Yi and me, everything is the same as what imperial Aunt-in-law Nine said. This is the hidden weapon that broke the branch."

Without hesitation, Yan Xiaoming turned around and picked up a cross-shaped dart from Eunuch Zhang's hand and handed it to Duke Zeng. It was only as big as a baby's palm, but with the strong internal force of a martial arts practitioner, it was more than enough to break a branch. After receiving the hidden weapon, Duke Zeng suddenly balled his hand. The seemingly strong dart instantly changed its shape, and many people present could not help but gasp. It seemed that Duke Zeng was really mad this time.

"Any other findings?"

His suppressed voice was trembling slightly, from which one could tell how mad he was. Even His Majesty dared not lay a finger on him. This time, the other side not only laid a finger on him, but at the Grand Big Princess' birthday party. How would he ever endure with it?

"Uncle Six has investigated it carefully. The person who used this hidden weapon is very good at martial arts. It was either the other side has an excellent control of the hidden weapons, or because one has practiced countless times, for the crack on the branch is very natural, and it can't be seen that it is man-made at all if you don't look carefully. Therefore, I think this is not a temporary thing, but a well thought-out plot. The person behind it should have wanted Xiaoqing's life from the very beginning, and one has made up one's mind to put the blame on me, Wen and others. Even if the accusation is vague, and you may let us go, but it will undoubtedly alienate Uncle Nine, Lord Zeng and the imperial old lord. First, ever since my dad and I came back, many people thought that we are back to fight for the throne. In addition, I often accompanied father to help him deal with some chores, so, many people regard me as a thorn in the flesh. They want to get rid of me as soon as possible, and then Uncle Nine and his wife, who are in the charge of more than 2/3 of the military power of the whole kingdom, especially the army stationed at the borders, it's almost all under their control,

If one can get their support, any prince will be the most likely to ascend the throne. And when my dad was recuperating in Cangzhou, he was Wen and Wu's tutor and has a good relationship with Aunt-in-law Nine, and I am also quite close to my few little brothers, so it makes them feel that Uncle Nine, who is not involved in the imperial power struggle, has already favored me. If this matter succeeds, Uncle Nine is very likely to blame me for my bad custody of the kids, and this happens in here. More or less, my imperial grandaunt and others will think that I'm not capable enough. At last, it's imperial great grandpa. It's known to all that he likes Xiaoqing very much. If Xiaoqing dies, as the head of the imperial family, he will definitely hold some accountable for his death. And then, even my imperial grandaunt and Uncle Nine will be loathed by everyone, let alone me. Overall, I can boldly come to a conclusion. Firstly, the one behind it must be someone related to my imperial brothers, and even Sister Lingqiang is no exception. Secondly, the one who threw out the hidden weapon can avoid the attention of my shadow guards, which means he must be a shadow guard himself. Thirdly, he is very likely to still be among us now. "

Yan Xiaoming straightened his chest and said in a clear and orderly way. Some of these results were drawn by himself, and some were said by Zeng Shaoqing and Yan Yi when they investigated the case. He just reorganized it. As a prince, he shouldn't have said these words. After all, these words were indeed too sensitive, but he couldn't hold it. Anyway, he had to force out the person behind it today. He couldn't let someone hide in the dark and threaten his little brothers again.
