Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 777 The Fall of the Fan Yang Lu Family 1
The news of the prince's sudden death spread out of the palace, causing an uproar in the court and the imperial capital.

In a rage, Xiao Heng sent all the maids and eunuchs who accompanied the prince Xiao Changgong to the death row. Even the prince Shen Rui, who had been assisting the prince, was not spared, and they were thrown into the prison together, waiting to be released.

On the day when Xiao Jingyao learned of the death of the prince, he rushed to the palace and had a long private conversation with Xiao Heng. After raising several doubts about the prince's fall into the water, Xiao Heng handed over the case to Xiao Jingyao to investigate and deal with it. The murderer who murdered the prince!
After arranging for Xiao Jingyao to thoroughly investigate the murder of the prince, Xiao Heng was overwhelmed by the death of the prince Xiao Changgong, fell ill again, and was even more anxious to the eunuch in charge Chen Rong and the imperial physicians in the palace.

The emperor fell ill and the crown prince passed away. In order to prevent the court from being in chaos, Xiao Jingyao hurriedly summoned the important officials of the court to discuss the affairs of state, except for the Taifu Shen Rui who was thrown into prison, the prime minister Han Yunzhi, the Guanglu doctor Fan Qing, Li Yi who had just won the first prize, and others. Several princes headed by Wuling Wang Xiao Rong and Chen Guogong Li Yuanzhe took on the important task of stabilizing the court!

With Xiao Heng's acquiescence and the praise of other ministers, Xiao Jingyao acted as an assistant government, and he seemed to be the supreme authority under one person and above ten thousand people.

As for the Duke of Lu, Lu Xianting, he was excluded from the power center of the imperial court.

Lu Xianting never expected that after the crown prince was removed, he would fall into a passive situation instead, let alone Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao would exclude himself from the center of power. The death was caused by them, and for a moment, they wished they could take advantage of the opportunity when the emperor was sick and the ministers were panicked, to launch a rebellion and replace him himself!
After thinking about it, he always felt that things should not be rushed for a while, otherwise the fate of Concubine Duan's family would be a lesson for the past!

Lu Xianting was fidgeting in the mansion for several days, and finally couldn't bear to enter the palace to ask to see the emperor, but Xiao Heng refused to see Lu Xianting, the Duke of Lu, on the grounds of being ill. The government, find another way!
While Xiao Jingyao supervised the case of the death of the crown prince, while taking charge of the government affairs on his behalf, he calmed down the instability of the court in the shortest time, and made the officials even more convinced by him!
Several court ladies and eunuchs who were sent to death row, after being severely tortured by the court officer, one of them finally confessed that someone ordered him behind his back to deliberately drug the wine, and while the prince was drinking, he became drowsy. After that, the prince was thrown into the river.

And the one who instigated her behind the scenes was Lu Xianting's followers!
When the relatives around Lu Xianting were taken away for interrogation, Lu Xianting, who was depressed and drunk in the mansion, was still kept in the dark until the relative confessed to everything that Lu Xianting instructed him to do in order to save his life, and was still in the mansion. Lu Xianting, who drank and had fun with concubine Ji, was finally taken away from the Duke's Mansion by the Habayashi Army and put in prison for interrogation.

Concubine Lu Gui, who had been waiting for news from Duke Lu in the cold palace, didn't know about all this, and was in a particularly good mood after hearing that the crown prince had passed away.

"Caiyan, Caiyan..." Concubine Lu Gui called her close maid several times in a row, but she didn't see an answer, until another little palace lady hurried over and asked what's the matter, Concubine Lu Gui said impatiently: " Where's Caiyan? Why didn't I see her when I took a nap?"
