Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 723 The Princess Marries Far Away 18
Xiao Heng was still waiting for the ministers to catch the assassins who had assassinated Princess Yong'an and the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Gao Yang went to the palace alone to ask Xiao Heng to see him, saying that he had something important to tell.

Xiao Heng had just ordered the crown prince Xiao Changgong to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of strange people in the imperial capital. Hearing that the envoy Gao Yang of the Northern Wei Dynasty had something to ask for an interview, he rejected the people in the Palace of Political Affairs.

After asking the assassinated Gao Yang about his injuries with concern, Xiao Heng mentioned the assassin again. Gao Yang did not hesitate, and told Xiao Heng that the assassin was ordered by Du Shao, the accompanying mission.

He didn't tell Xiao Heng in detail how he was sure that the assassin was Du Shao, but he only mentioned that Du Shao was a close confidant of the minister of the main battle faction of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he also apologized for his oversight this time.

In the end, Gao Yang explained his purpose of coming, and asked Xiao Heng to agree to escort Du Shao back to the Northern Wei Dynasty, so that the Northern Wei King could deal with the criminal Du Shao!
"Your Majesty, this matter is caused by the discord between the two factions of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor hope that the two countries can communicate with each other. Please don't question my sincerity in seeking peace from the Northern Wei Dynasty because of this matter!"

Gao Yang said very sincerely, Xiao Heng was silent for a long time, and said thoughtfully: "But the Du Shao mentioned by the envoy Gao is so rampant in my Dayin, if I don't deal with it, won't it make people in the world laugh at me, Dayin fears the Northern Wei Dynasty , dare not even deal with a guilty subject?"

"Otherwise..." Gao Yang shook his head and explained with a faint smile: "If Your Majesty returns Du Shao to the Northern Wei Dynasty to deal with, people in the world will only think that His Majesty is broad-minded, and the people and those main fighters also believe in Dayin and the Northern Wei Dynasty. If the two countries are determined to have a good relationship, they dare not be ready to provoke the good relationship between the two countries wantonly!"

Xiao Heng took a deep look at Gao Yang, the corners of his lips raised slightly, he clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Envoy Gao is indeed far-sighted, no wonder your country sent you to persuade you to make peace! I promise you that I will return Du Shao to you for disposal in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In order to avoid accidents on the way, I will send some guards to escort you and the princess along the way until you reach the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Yang hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, finally heaving a sigh of relief.

The assassination of the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Princess Yong'an was resolved quickly like this. The prince Xiao Changgong, who was still investigating the matter thoroughly, heard that the assassin had already been caught, and was still a little surprised. He went to verify the matter with his father, but Xiao Heng didn't explain it either. Too many, just smiled and said: "This matter is caused by the Northern Wei Dynasty, so it is naturally left to the Northern Wei Dynasty to solve it!"

The other ministers were relieved to hear that there was no need to find an assassin, but Xiao Changgong always felt that this matter was not so simple. When he heard that the assassin was Du Shao from Gao Yang's accompanying mission, he went to the hotel to ask Gao Yang about it.

Until he left the hotel, Xiao Changgong was still thinking about Gao Yang's intention of saying that!
Although the emperor had ordered that there is no need to investigate further, envoy Gao was clearly hinting to him that besides Du Shao of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were also people from Dayin who assassinated him!

Du Shao, as the main combat faction of the Northern Wei Dynasty, assassinated the princess and envoys to destroy the peace, so the other person who secretly sent people to assassinate was also one of the ministers of the main combat faction of Dayin? !
Xiao Changgong returned to the East Palace, still thinking about this matter, thinking that Xiao Yurao might know something, so he went to Yong'an Palace.

Under the nourishment of the tonic, Xiao Yurao's face turned ruddy a lot. Seeing that she had recovered from the shock, Xiao Changgong greeted her with a smile, and then pretended to talk about the assassin unintentionally.
