"promise."
The little official made a promise, turned around and walked out immediately.
After a while, Chen Ken also walked out, straddled his horse, ignored Emperor Liu Xie, and went out of the palace gate to Sikong Mansion.

Chapter 122 - The Secret (23)
Soon, Chen Ken led the accompanying guards to the outside of Sikong's mansion.After ordering his personal guards to wait outside, Chen Ken walked into the Sikong mansion alone, and went straight to the outside of the study.
Chen Ken is one of the nine ministers, and he was summoned by Cao Cao himself.The guards outside the study naturally did not dare to stop him.However, Chen Ken himself was very serious. He tidied his clothes outside the door before walking in.
"Minggong." After entering the study, Chen Ken just glanced at Cao Cao and bowed to salute.
"You are very polite, General Wei." Cao Cao said politely.On the one hand, Chen Ken has friendship with him, on the other hand, one is Sangong and the other is Jiuqing. Although there is a gap, it is not big.Cao Cao can't think too highly of himself.
"Sit." Immediately, Cao Cao pointed to the seat next to him.
"Thank you for sitting." Chen Ken responded, and slowly came to sit where Cao Cao pointed.
"This time the general is called here to discuss the unfortunate death of the second prince." After Chen Ken sat down, Cao Cao said immediately.
"I don't know what Minggong means?" Chen Ken actually guessed that it was for this matter, and he didn't seem surprised when he heard Cao Cao mention it now, but asked in a calm and low voice.
"Investigate thoroughly to see if there are any secrets in it." Seeing Chen Ken's transparency, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction and said.
"Don't let go of any clues?" Chen Ken asked Cao Cao's seriousness when he saw that Cao Cao's words were so cautious.
"Don't let it go." Cao Cao nodded.
"Promise." Chen Ken promised, and got up and said: "Then I will take my leave first."
"Please." Cao Cao got up to see him off.
Soon after, Chen Ken was sent out by Cao Cao himself and returned to the palace.
"Whether there is a secret, or is it really cruel to kill the parents and children, we can't hide it from General Wei." Seeing Chen Ken leave, Cao Cao was relieved.
He believed that as long as General Wei Chen Ken conducted a thorough investigation, everything would be safe.
After leaving the Sikong Mansion, Chen Ken quickly returned to the palace. After entering the palace, Chen Ken immediately went to the side hall that was on fire. Although he didn't go to see Liu Xie just now, but went to see Cao Cao, but for Chen Ken did not let his guard down on this matter, but sent his deputy to deal with it.
It is estimated that nothing major will happen.
When Chen Ken arrived at the palace that Liu Xie accidentally set alight on fire, he couldn't help but gasped, it was really completely burned.
I saw a row of pitch-black coke ahead, even smoking.I can't see the magnificence of the side hall of the palace at all, it is too horrible to look at.
In addition to this row of black coke, there are rows of soldiers and some eunuchs.
"General." Seeing that Chen Ken had arrived, the deputy general stepped forward to salute.
"What's the situation? What edict does the emperor have?" Chen Ken asked directly without being polite.
"The fire was extinguished just now, and the last general just planned to dig up the body of the second prince. As for the emperor, he never showed up, nor did he issue any edict."
The lieutenant also answered directly.
"Oh? The Son of Heaven has never appeared." Chen Ken's face showed a thoughtful look. Under normal circumstances, it would be uncomfortable to accidentally burn his son to death, even in the Emperor's House.But now Liu Xie is not only not there, but also doesn't care.There are two possibilities, one is that he hates the crown prince very much, and the other is that it is a bit tricky.
第32卷 第256节：122章 瞒天过海（23）（2）
Chen Ken couldn't help but recall the conversation with Cao Cao in Sikong Mansion.With seriousness on his face, he said to the lieutenant general: "I found the second prince's body immediately."
"promise."
The deputy general promised, and immediately led some soldiers to dig up the second prince's body.Chen Ken was quietly waiting for the result.
After a while of busy work, a soldier found the body of a baby.
The corpse had been charred, and nothing could be identified at all, even men and women were unknown.
The corpse was placed on the ground, Chen Ken looked down, and couldn't help frowning, how to find out?
After all, it was the remains of the prince, and Chen Ken didn't dare to be negligent.After a little confirmation, he said to the soldier: "Hold it down, please come over with the relevant etiquette officer and restrain yourself."
"No." After the soldier promised, he walked out immediately.
"Come here, get the maid in charge of delivering Dong Meiren's baby." After ordering the soldier, Chen Ken said to the lieutenant general.
"promise."
The lieutenant made a promise and immediately went down to do it.
After giving the order, Chen Ken let out a sigh of relief. In fact, Chen Ken didn't have any suspicions in his heart now. The corpse was there, so it should have been burned.
There shouldn't be any conspiracy, but Chen Ken had to be cautious about Cao Cao's explanation.
"The so-called conspiracy should be that there is something dirty between the emperor Liu Xie and the chariot general Dong Cheng. First of all, we need to determine whether this is the second prince himself. In case Liu Xie burned the second prince to death, it is a smoke bomb. The relationship between Dong Cheng and Dong Cheng is even more broken. Even if it is true, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Xie's killing of the second prince was a bitter plan. The purpose is to make outsiders see that the relationship with Dong Cheng is even more broken."
Chen Ken thought in his heart that he could also be said to be the boss of Cao Cao's forces. He knew the suspicion in Cao Cao's heart at the moment, so he made a hypothesis.
In the palace, in the palace of the crown prince.
The Crown Prince Liu Feng was sitting on the throne looking at the bamboo slips, and next to him was kneeling Zhao Yun, who was also reading a book on war.
Both of them were very silent, Zhao Yun was always the same, and has always been like this.But Liu Feng was unusually silent.
Zhao Yun knew that Liu Feng's thoughts were not on the bamboo slips, because Liu Feng himself did not read books.Now, it's just a show, but it's actually thinking about today's affairs.
"It's no wonder that it's not easy to hide the truth. If you are a little careless, you will lose everything. If you want to retrograde the plan to capture Xudu, it will be useless. Whether it succeeds or not, one is in the sky and the other is underground."
Zhao Yun sighed in his heart, thinking.
At this moment, Dong Xi walked in from the outside in a hurry.
"Your Highness, General Wei Chen Ken came back and went to inspect in person, excavated the body of the second prince, and then ordered the old maid who delivered Dong Meiren's baby to be taken away from the Empress."
After entering the side hall, Dong Xi told Liu Feng verbatim what he had heard.
"Understood." Liu Feng's eyes flashed and he nodded.
The development of the matter was all within Liu Feng's expectation.Liu Feng had expected a long time ago that Cao Cao would not be so easy to trust a person, especially a person whose position changed suddenly.
If Dong Cheng's is not good, it's not good if his original position is too clear.It is absolutely impossible to bleach if you are not cruel.
Seeing that Liu Feng was silent for a long time, Dong Xi couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, do you still want to inquire?"
