The Stunning Alchemist: The Ghost King's Alluring Concubine

Chapter 452 Killed by an Assassin

Zhou mansion, Zhou family.

Zhou Wei got the news that his son and grandson were all arrested, and immediately left the customs. He was sullen and didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Grandpa, this must have been framed." Zhou Xintong angrily told the whole story.

Zhou Wei and Zhou Wen looked at each other, and Zhou Wei asked: "How many middle-grade treasures were there at that time? A sword with the word 'wind' engraved on it?"

"That's right." Zhou Wen nodded. At that time, he wanted to stop him, but Gao Chengfeng was very resentful and took him away forcibly.

"I have already written a letter to the emperor, but there is no reply from the emperor." Zhou Wen sighed. This week, Zhou Zihao had a good personal relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. He suddenly said: "By the way, the night when the incident happened , the prince’s other courtyard caught fire, could it be related to this?”

"I'm afraid that the treasures are lost, and those middle-grade treasures are one of them." Zhou Wei said with certainty, it is impossible for Gao Chengfeng to do this with just a few middle-grade treasures, the only possibility That is, the treasury was stolen.

But as soon as this thought came up, Zhou Wei shook his head and said, "Impossible, how could the prince's treasure house be stolen so easily."

"Fourth brother, if the treasury wasn't stolen, why do you think the prince is so angry?" Zhou Wen asked back.

"..." Zhou Wei thought for a long time, but in the end he couldn't refute it with a word.

"However, how could Zihao and his father steal the crown prince's treasury?" Zhou Xintong pursed her lips. She didn't believe this at all. She said, "No, I want to enter the palace."

"Xintong." Zhou Wei stopped her, but Zhou Xintong's footsteps didn't stop at all. Zhou Wei thought that Xintong and Princess Yuyan were sisters, so she didn't stop her. Now she can only wait for the news.

Zhou Wen and Zhou Wei carefully analyzed the cause and effect of this matter, after analyzing and analyzing, but they didn't have any clue.

Zhou Xintong used to have a token from Gao Chengyan, so it was easy to enter the palace. As soon as he arrived in Gao Chengyan's bedroom, he saw Gao Chengyan lying on a soft couch, looking sick.

"Chengyan? What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Zhou Xintong looked at the weak Gao Chengyan, and couldn't help feeling worried.

"It's nothing." Gao Chengyan shook his head, seeing the former sisters, he couldn't help being happy, and said with a smile, "Xintong, why didn't you practice today and came to play with me?"

"Chengyan, save my father and Zihao." Zhou Xintong cut straight to the point, looking at Gao Chengyan pleadingly.

"What's the matter?" Gao Chengyan hadn't left the palace for a while because of Zhou Tianning's affairs. Although he used the name of cultivation every day, he was lying on the soft couch every day, and he didn't have the slightest intention of cultivating.

Zhou Xintong told Gao Chengyan all about this, she excitedly took Gao Chengyan's hand and said: "Chengyan, I believe my father, this matter must be a misunderstanding, so please explain to your highness, okay? No matter how daring my father is, he would not dare to steal His Highness's treasures."

"..."

Gao Chengyan didn't answer, but fell silent.

Zhou Xintong's heart also sank bit by bit following Gao Chengyan's silence, she said: "Chengyan, don't tell me you won't help me because she is your brother, so, you..."

"Xintong." Gao Chengyan frowned and interrupted, "It's not that I refuse to help you, it's just that I can't take care of my brother's affairs."

"Doesn't Your Highness love you the most? I don't ask for anything else, I just ask His Highness to thoroughly examine the cause and effect of this incident. Could it be that Cheng Yan, you are not willing to help such a small request?" Zhou Xintong stood up After getting up, the gaze towards Gao Chengyan gradually became cold and unfamiliar from the initial eagerness to the end.

"Xintong, I don't understand this matter yet, I will..." Gao Chengyan stood up and took Zhou Xintong's hand, but before she finished speaking, Zhou Xintong pushed her away. She took a few steps back, cold Looking at Gao Chengyan, with disappointment in his eyes, he said: "It seems that I came here by mistake today, Your Royal Highness, I will retire now."

After saying that, Zhou Xintong didn't give Gao Chengyan any leeway, and left directly.

Gao Chengyan stood at the door of the dormitory, biting his lip, watching Zhou Xintong's leaving back, and did not speak for a long while.

After a long time, Gao Chengyan said: "Xiaoyue, go to the Prince's Hall."

Standing at the door of Gao Chengfeng's dormitory, Gao Chengyan's mind was filled with the image of Zhou Tianning being half burned when she was carried out from the secret room. These days, she couldn't sleep peacefully at night, and as soon as she fell asleep, her mind began to have nightmares. She wanted to never forgive Gao Chengfeng for the rest of her life. I want to never talk to Gao Chengfeng for the rest of my life.

It's just that Xintong is her best sister, she walked up, and before she could speak, she heard the little eunuch say: "His Royal Highness is not in the palace."

Gao Chengyan's tense heart couldn't help but relax, but immediately said: "Then tell him when brother comes back, I've been here."

After saying that, Gao Chengyan returned to the bedroom.

On the Imperial Palace, Gao Chengyan was kneeling below, next to Gao Rongguang's questioning voice: "Chengfeng, what's going on with the Zhou family?"

"Zhou Jiaqing and Zhou Zihao stole my son's treasures and almost killed my son's life, so..." Gao Chengfeng said cautiously.

"Snapped."

Gao Rongguang slapped the table and shouted: "Chengfeng, you are the prince of a country, can't you... can't wait?" In the last sentence, Gao Rongguang's eyes shot out a strong coldness, like an icy cold sword, .

"Don't dare." Gao Chengfeng shook his head and crouched down.

"Since you dare not, let him go immediately." Gao Rongguang shouted, becoming dissatisfied with Gao Chengfeng's actions.

"Yes." Gao Chengfeng didn't hesitate at all, and immediately called Xiao Anzi to come in, and just opened his mouth to order: "Xiao Anzi, release the Zhou family immediately."

"Your Highness." Xiao Anzi knelt down and replied in a trembling voice, "I just received the news that Zhou Jiaqing and Zhou Zihao were killed by...an assassin."

"What?" Hearing these words, Gao Rongguang cast doubtful eyes on Gao Chengfeng.

"Father, my son just wanted to find out the reason. Since my son was captured in a fair manner, it is absolutely impossible to kill him. Isn't this lifting a rock and hitting yourself in the foot?" Gao Chengfeng said Confidently speaking, with an angry look, he said: "Father, please investigate this matter thoroughly, and the fire in the other courtyard also caused my son to lose some of the treasures he usually collects."

"Huh, it's better that it has nothing to do with you." Gao Rongguang said, and ordered: "Go back and ground your feet, and we can talk about it after the matter is clarified."

"Father, this matter is caused by my son, and my son is willing..." Before Gao Chengfeng finished speaking, he swallowed it immediately in the face of Gao Rongguang's indifferent eyes that could not be rejected. Gao Chengfeng looked angry and framed by someone. The appearance, the bulging veins on his forehead and the shock when he got the news earlier made Gao Rongguang dispel his doubts about Gao Chengfeng.
