Chapter 360 They Were Doomed to Die

"Never?"

"Have you not let Qiongqi eat enough people in the past few years?"

"As long as someone doesn't listen to you, as long as someone goes against you, as long as you don't like them, you will let Qiongqi eat them."

"If you do these things and then don't admit them, does that mean they no longer exist?"

Faced with the lead dancer's repeated questions, Tuoba Ruoli was momentarily flustered.

But soon, she calmed down.

"What I'm talking about now is your business. Those things have nothing to do with this matter and cannot be generalized! No matter how many people I've let Qiongqi eat, those people deserved it! But whether it's you or your family, I've never met them before, let alone let Qiongqi eat them. Don't think you can put this matter on me just by saying a few words!"

The lead dancer smiled sadly. "Actually, before I even said it, I already knew you wouldn't admit it. But it doesn't matter. Our families are all dead anyway, so there's no need for us to continue living."

I just hope that you, this evil woman who everyone wants to kill, can be punished sooner rather than later!"

Being called a witch in such an occasion, Tuoba Ruoli was almost mad with anger. She pointed her finger at the lead dancer and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"

The lead dancer didn't look at her anymore, but looked at the Emperor of Xiliang.

"Your Majesty! If Xiliang really falls into the hands of this evil woman, then Xiliang will be destroyed in no time! Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Tuoba Ruoli's fingertips trembled, and her voice became extremely sharp. She looked at the guards beside her and said, "What are you all still standing there for? Hurry up and drag this nonsense guy away to me! I will cut him into pieces!"

Tuoba Ruoli had just finished speaking when black blood flowed from the corner of the lead dancer's mouth. His body went limp and he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Not only the lead dancer, but everyone else is the same.

In just the blink of an eye, all the assassins were dead.

There were dead people everywhere.

Looking at the people lying on the ground, Tuoba Ruoli was stunned at first, and then angry.

All these people committed suicide by taking poison in public, so how can she prove her innocence?

Tuoba Ruoli looked at the Xiliang Emperor in a panic, "Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with Li'er. They really were not arranged by Li'er!"

The Emperor of Xiliang looked at Tuoba Ruoli with complicated eyes, but he just stared at her without saying anything.

Being looked at like this by the Emperor of Xiliang, Tuoba Ruoli became even more flustered.

Why are you looking at her like that?

Does this mean you don't believe her?

Tuoba Ruoli hurriedly turned around and looked at Princess Anguo, "Grandma, this matter really has nothing to do with Li'er, you have to believe me!"

Princess Anguo laughed, her voice very gentle, "Of course! I naturally believe you!"

Hearing this answer, Tuoba Ruoli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the emperor did not believe her, it was enough as long as Princess Anguo believed in her!

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Princess Anguo say again, "The innocent are innocent. There's no need to prove anything, and there's no need to worry about whether others believe you. You just need to do what you believe is right."

Tuoba Ruoli's heart, which had just been put at ease, was lifted up again after hearing these words.

What does this mean?

Should I believe her or tell her that it’s okay even if I did it?

But, she really didn't do this!

Tuoba Ruoli wanted to explain, but Princess Anguo had already looked at Chu Huaixu and Yu Youning.

"You two come from prominent families, so you must understand that this is normal. You probably don't take it to heart, right?"

Chu Huaixu's face was devoid of a smile. The look he gave Princess Anguo was even colder than before. "So in Xiliang, assassinating someone right in front of the emperor is a normal thing? That's truly uninformed! No wonder the huge Xiliang Imperial Palace doesn't even have any flowers or trees. It seems she's been through too many assassinations and is afraid!"

Faced with Chu Huaixu's ridicule, Princess Anguo didn't seem to care at all, and still had a faint smile on her face.

"Yes! People like us are born into nobler families, and our lives are more precious, so we naturally cherish them more! We can't let others give up the idea of ​​assassination, so naturally we can only find ways to protect ourselves!"

The Xiliang Emperor listened to the conversation between the two and felt that it was almost over. He smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Prince. Although these people are dead, there are many people who have come into contact with them. If we investigate them one by one, we will eventually find some clues. This matter will definitely not be let go so vaguely. I will definitely have people find the real mastermind behind this!"

After listening to the words of the Xiliang Emperor, Chu Huaixu smiled with satisfaction.

"Since the emperor has said so, I am relieved. I am waiting for the emperor's good news!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't keep you waiting too long!"

As the two of them talked, the matter passed and the banquet continued.

Yu Tingwan looked at the hall where people were drinking and chatting, then looked at Yu Youning who was eating and drinking happily, then he quietly stood up and left the hall.

Yu Tingwan really didn't like such occasions, but leaving the hall at this time was not just because she was bored.

More importantly, Yu Tingwan wanted to take this opportunity to check out the person who arranged the programs for tonight's banquet.

If you check now, you might find more.

If we really leave all matters to the Emperor of Xiliang, I guess in the end, nothing will be found out.

Perhaps, a few more people will be put forward to take the blame, and the matter will be over.

Yu Tingwan quickly locked onto a side hall and quickly approached that direction.

Standing by the window and looking inside through the crack, I saw that it was indeed very messy inside.

This is where people change their clothes and put on makeup before going on stage.

There were quite a few people inside at this time.

In the past, such a situation would have been noisy and everyone would have endless things to say.

But now, although there are many people inside, there are very few evil people who speak.

Even though Yu Tingwan was standing outside, he could still feel that the atmosphere inside was very depressing.

After a long while, someone finally spoke.

"They're all dead!"

It was a low male voice, as if he was trying his best to suppress his crying.

He had barely uttered these words when a shrill-voiced steward fiercely rebuked him, "Let them die! They deserve to die for attempting assassination on a day like this! Do you still feel sorry for them? Are you in cahoots with them?"

"No, no!" Another fat man hurriedly said with a smile, "Manager, he and those people are of course not together. They rarely talk to each other on weekdays. They have only met a few times and seem familiar. Now that they have all died tragically, he-"

"You shut up right there!" The manager's voice became even harsher. "What do you mean by a tragic death? Do you think they died miserably? I'm telling you! They deserved it!"

They were smart, as they had placed a poison sac in their mouths beforehand, and after biting it open, they poisoned themselves to death and left their bodies intact.

If he were really caught and interrogated, he would definitely be eaten by Qiongqi in the end, and nothing would be left!

The only thing they should be thankful for now is that Qiongqi doesn't eat corpses! Otherwise, even if they die, they won't be able to rest in peace! "

The manager's eyes were like knives, scraping across everyone's face fiercely.

Only when he saw that everyone he stared at lowered their heads did he feel slightly satisfied.

"They are already dead, and now you are still alive! If you want to die too, I won't stop you, go die now!

But if you are not honest and are still here, depressed and crying because of their death, and harming me, then not only will you die, but all your family members will die with you, do you understand?"

Everyone nodded quickly.

They didn't come out of nowhere, so they naturally have parents, brothers, relatives and friends.

You can't let all your relatives be killed just because of those who are already dead.

Everyone took a few deep breaths, then adjusted their facial expressions and smiled again.

Seeing this, the manager also laughed, and his smile was the happiest and brightest one.

"Very good! I'm glad you have such awareness!"

"You are so obedient, so I will remind you again."

"In this world, nothing is more important than being alive!"

"The affairs of the bigwigs above are not ours to control, let alone comment on."

"You grieve for those who died, but you don't know that they actually—"

Having said that, the manager instantly shut his mouth, his face full of fear.

How careless!

I almost said something I shouldn't have said accidentally!

After looking around and seeing that no one was staring at him, the manager put his hands behind his back and walked towards the inner room.

He needs to be alone and calm down!

I had just entered the room, closed the door, and before I turned around, a dagger was put to my neck.

In the dark night, the dagger flashed coldly.

The steward felt the biting coldness on his neck and his body instantly shook like a sieve.

He opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but heard the voice of the person behind him lowered, "Tell me, what's the hidden story behind those people's deaths? Why did you frame the Crown Princess?"

When the manager heard this question, everything went dark before his eyes!

It turned out that the trouble was caused by the unfinished words just now!

He will never talk so much again!

No wonder people always say that too much talk leads to mistakes. Now it seems that this is indeed the case!

The manager was still thinking about all sorts of things when he felt a slight pain on his neck, as if his skin was scratched.

"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"

It was still the voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female, but there was a hint of murderous intent in it!

The manager didn't dare to think about it anymore and quickly told everything he knew.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

"I only know that they are doomed to die!"

"As long as they die successfully tonight, their families will be properly arranged! A life of abundance!"
