Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 393 The Crown Prince’s Death is No Longer a Mystery

Thinking of the late crown prince Chen Xuanli, the grandson whom the entire Huo family relied on, a strong sadness suddenly flashed across the crooked eyes of the old patriarch Huo, and then deep hatred broke out.

Feeling the hand above his head trembling more and more violently, Huo Qingyun continued to talk:

"After my cousin passed away, even though I expected that the prince supported by the Lin family would become the new emperor in the future, I still decided to join the Palace Front Department because -

At that time, the Lin family already controlled the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard... these two groups of guards close to the emperor. I can't let the Lin family lock the new emperor up in the palace!

Huizong had long wanted to deal with the Lin family. Even if he lost his cousin, the crown prince in whom he had high hopes, and even if he might be forced to make Chen Xuanrui, who was supported by the Lin family, the crown prince in the future, he would not give up this idea.

So, I replaced Lin Yuanfang as the commander of the Imperial Guard.

My cousin passed away, my aunt died of hatred, and you suddenly suffered a stroke. Our Huo family suffered one blow after another. Finally, because I became the sword of peace, we were able to settle down in the court."

The hands of the old master Huo were no longer shaking so violently, and gradually returned to the slight shaking that usually occurred due to the stroke.

"You...suffer...!"

Huo Qingyun looked at the old master Huo quietly. There was a moment of childish confusion and helplessness in his eyes, but he soon regained his clarity and became resolute and persistent.

"Grandfather, I came here today because I have something to tell you... It's about my cousin's death!"

The hand above his head began to tremble even more violently. Huo Qingyun took a deep breath and said:

“I couldn’t eat peanuts since I was a kid. As you know, I would get rashes on my body if I ate peanuts.

That time, the new cook in the mansion didn't know about this and mixed peanut powder into the cakes he brought into the palace for me.

After I ate it, I not only developed a rash, but also vomited all over my cousin.

In a panic, my cousin's hand accidentally touched the pastry, and he immediately developed a small red rash.

My cousin told me that he has been like this since he was a child. He cannot touch anything with peanuts, let alone eat food with peanuts.

My cousin was afraid that I would be punished if the news of my rash got out, and in order to prevent others from knowing that he had such a shortcoming, he told me to keep it a secret and never let anyone else know.

Recently, I accidentally learned that people like my cousin have a strong physical reaction after coming into contact with peanuts. For such people, peanuts are poison, and the eunuchs who test for poison cannot detect it.

If my cousin eats food containing a lot of peanuts, he may suffer from persistent coughing, shortness of breath, redness all over the body, and eventually die! "

"Prince...Shu...Concubine!"

The sudden wail from the old Patriarch Huo turned into an invisible sharp arrow, fiercely piercing into Huo Qingyun's chest, causing him unbearable pain.

My cousin was a prince praised by everyone! He died in such a despicable way, unknown to the world.

Pain and anger were mixed with hatred, which gradually gained the upper hand and soon spread throughout the body.

Huo Qingyun remembered very clearly that the day he vomited because of the cakes, Princess Qingyi Chen Lingyi was also present.

At that time, she was still an unpopular princess, so she liked to get close to her cousin to show her "closeness" to the prince, and to intimidate those palace servants around her who flattered the powerful.

Therefore, it is very likely that Chen Lingyi saw something and guessed that her cousin cannot touch peanuts!

As for Jiang Bin's connection with this matter, he didn't find anything, but since Luo Xiaoran mentioned Jiang Bin, he believed that she was not making a fuss.

Chen Lingyi, the Lin family, and the Jiang family are all responsible for the death of my cousin!
