Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 555 Demoting officials and cutting power 3
"Two people are missing from the list..." Wei Zijin said in a low voice.

The old butler was taken aback for a moment, looked at Wei Zijin inexplicably, and asked suspiciously, "I don't know which two the princess is referring to?"

Before Wei Zijin could speak, Xiao Jingyao had already guessed that one of the people she was referring to was her elder brother Li Yuanzhe, and explained with a light smile: "Of course he will come to our wedding, but in order not to be targeted by those who are interested, So I specifically instructed that his name does not need to be listed on the list..."

Wei Zijin heard that Xiao Jingyao said with such certainty that the eldest brother would definitely come, and then his slightly frowning brows relaxed, and he nodded and smiled: "I actually forgot this, as long as the eldest brother can come!"

If it is said that the old butler of the Wangfu was still in a daze before, after listening to what they said, he realized that what they were referring to was Li Yuanzhe, the son of Chen Guogong, who is also a close friend of the prince!

The prince has been sending people to protect the son secretly, and he is also worried that the emperor will continue to track down the whereabouts of the son of Chen Guogong, so he deliberately blocked the news. Now the Li family is still suppressed, and the son Li Yuanzhe is alone, and cannot appear in the Luoyang palace like those high-ranking officials and nobles!
"My lord, if the emperor will come to the palace on the day of his wedding, if he sees Chen Guogong's son, I'm afraid he will be suspicious of you, lord..." The old butler of the palace couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought of this.

The lord has been hiding his sharp edge, and loyally working for the emperor, just to dispel the emperor's vigilance. Now that the lord's power is expanding step by step, he can't fail at this time!
When Wei Zijin heard what the old housekeeper said, his heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously grabbed Xiao Jingyao's sleeve.

At this time, Xiao Heng must not be allowed to see his eldest brother, otherwise Xiao Heng will not only suspect Xiao Jingyao, but also have murderous intentions towards the sudden appearance of his eldest brother!
When the elder brother was on his way to the funeral, when he was assassinated by an assassin, it was very likely that Xiao Heng did it. Now that the time is not right, Xiao Heng must not be allowed to meet with the elder brother!
Xiao Jingyao slowly held Wei Zijin's hands, patted the back of her hands comfortingly, shook his head and said calmly: "He lost his beloved brother, I'm afraid he is not in the mood to come to the palace..."

"But what if the emperor suddenly wants to come to the palace..." The old steward was full of worry, and before he could finish speaking, Xiao Jingyao interrupted him, and said firmly: "Even if he really came to watch the ceremony, the king will not let him have any time." Opportunity to meet Li Yuanzhe!"

He said these words with confidence, as if he had already thought of a perfect countermeasure, not only the old housekeeper nodded repeatedly, but even Wei Zijin secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

She believed in Xiao Jingyao. Under Xiao Jingyao's arrangement, no one knew that her elder brother was still alive except Ye Zhiqiu, the leader of the secret alliance. Now she also believed in Xiao Jingyao, and there was a way to never let Xiao Heng see her elder brother!

"Princess, just now you said that there are two people who are not included in the guest list, besides Chen Guogong's son, who else is there?" The old housekeeper asked hastily when he remembered this.

Wei Zijin came back to his senses, and said with a leisurely smile: "There is also the eldest prince Xiao Changgong!"

"His Royal Highness?" The old housekeeper looked surprised, and looked at Xiao Jingyao inquiringly. Xiao Jingyao also nodded and smiled slightly, affirming Wei Zijin's statement: "Butler Chen, this eldest prince should indeed be invited, he is the future prince!"

The old housekeeper's eyes widened in shock. He had never heard of this matter. Could it be that the emperor has already selected a candidate for the crown prince? !
