"What did you say?"

Xia Yanchun dispersed the guards around him, and the ministers were busy putting out the fire. For the time being, he and Wang Kang were the only ones here.

"It should be, this is my intuition."

Wang Kang said, "That eunuch came to save Xia Yande instead of assassinating. He replaced Xia Yande by changing clothes and disguising..."

"But this?"

Xia Yanchun still felt that it was unlikely, and the logic was completely opposite.

"Deliberate arson is to cover up the eyes and ears. If the body is completely burned and cannot be distinguished, it will be completely solid."

Wang Kang said in a low voice: "But this is just my guess, and there is no evidence for the specificity."

His face was slightly dark.

If he really thought this, Xia Yande's successful escape may be a big hidden danger.

Not long after that.

The fire in Shoucheng Palace was extinguished. After all, there were many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace. The ones burned severely, but the main hall was not affected by anything else.

Wang Kang said, "Go and take a look."

The two walked over.

Xia Yande asked, "How is the situation?"

The crowd hesitated.

"Speak!"

Under the scolding.

One person said: "The fire in the main hall is serious. When it is put out, we found a corpse in it. It has been burned into an unhuman shape and it is difficult to identify its appearance, but he..."

"say!"

"But you can see that you are wearing the eldest prince's clothes."

This is just an euphemism.

In fact, it has been explained in disguise that Xia Yande is the one who was burned to death!

"Go and carry the body out."

Xia Yanchun was quite calm. After a moment, a corpse was lifted out and covered with cloth.

"Your Majesty, you should stop watching."

Xia Yanchun ignored it and instead ordered to the surrounding officials: "Come and see if it is the eldest prince."

This is about to recognize the body.

These officials are all important officials of the court and have mostly contacted Xia Yande.

A group of officials surrounded him.

At this time, the covered cloth was also lifted up.

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

At this moment, many people subconsciously turned their faces away and couldn't control their disgust!

This corpse has been completely burned. It has basically no human form and looks terrifying and hideous.

Some places have been burnt dry and burnt, while others have semi-dry. This difference makes people feel terrible!

And there is a special smell.

I didn't even dare to look at it, but I still recognize it?

These civil officials stood up, but they noticed that the commander of Yue was not afraid at all.

He even reached his hand to the neck of the corpse and looked around.

“Huh…”

Everyone was shivering. Wang Kang was even more scary than this corpse!

It's indeed a stern style!

"What's the discovery?"

Wang Kang shook his head. The body was burned to this point and there was no sign of any physical characteristics...

"It should be the eldest prince."

Liu Qingcang frowned and spoke because he could see the clothes he was wearing and some fragments could be recognized.

"Why!"

I don't know who sighed.

After all, he was also the eldest prince. Although he abdicated and was once the king, he became what he is now.

Just die.

The result is still beyond recognition!

"Get the body cleaned up."

Xia Yanchun stood up and said coldly: "No one should talk nonsense about what happened here in Shoucheng Palace, let alone spread it. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Everyone answered in unison.

This is not a good thing, and it also damages the royal face.

"The eunuch who has been here, I will do my best to investigate!"

"yes!"

"It is claimed that the eldest prince died of his own life and was buried with a state funeral, so that's it..."

"yes!"

Xia Yanchun's face was not very good-looking.

After all, it was his elder brother. He felt uncomfortable because he had become like this.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, I can only deal with it like this now.

If such a thing happened, the banquet would definitely not be able to continue.

The officials dispersed and left the imperial guards to deal with the scene...

It's already late at night.

There are also lights in Mingde Hall.

This is where the king handles government affairs. Wang Kang and Xia Yanchun are here at this moment.

No outsiders.

What Xia Yanchun showed was no longer the pressure of the king, but stood respectfully beside Wang Kang.

In the hall, there is a dragon case. It is not him who sits behind it, but Wang Kang!

If outsiders see this, they may be extremely shocked!

But it happened literally!

Wang Kang was writing something with a pen, and Xia Yanchun didn't dare to disturb him.

After a moment.

Wang Kang put down the pen.

The rice paper is already full of words.

"for you."

Wang Kang gave the paper to Xia Yanchun and he started to look at it.

"This is?"

Xia Yanchun looked at him in surprise.

"This is true, don't ask why!"

Wang Kang said calmly: "What is written on this is the secret of the officials and generals of Yue State. With this thing, you should be able to distinguish between loyalty and treason, and better control the people."

Xia Yanchun had not recovered from the shock.

As Wang Kang said, this one is indeed the secret of those officials.

They are all important officials attending the banquet today.

Some of the secrets made him feel incredible, but he felt that it was true.
