Chapter 157 New Favorite

The prince heard the news of Lin Chan's cancellation of the engagement two days later than the outsiders in the palace.

The person who mentioned this to him was a young eunuch who was not a prominent figure in the Eastern Palace.

This news undoubtedly pleased the prince.

He couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, and the louder he laughed, the louder he laughed.

This is really a sudden and unexpected turn of events!

He spent so much effort just to get Miss Lin to cancel the engagement, but it was all in vain. He never expected that the General's Mansion would take the initiative to cancel the engagement.

Take the initiative to withdraw from the kiss!

Doesn’t this mean that even God is helping him?

His father is the emperor, and he is the emperor's son. It is natural for God to help him.

At this moment, the prince was full of confidence, and the gloom in his heart for days was swept away.

"Where's Wang Gui?"

When people are proud, they can't help but share it with people they trust. For the prince, that person is Wang Gui.

"It seems like I haven't seen Eunuch Wang for a long time." The young eunuch said respectfully.

The prince was somewhat dissatisfied: "This Wang Gui has disappeared so early in the morning. He is really becoming more and more unreasonable!"

He glanced at the young eunuch and asked casually, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Fu."

"Wang Fu?" The prince was in a good mood and couldn't help but laugh. "What's your relationship with Wang Gui? Are you brothers?"

Wang Fu hurriedly said, "How could this be so lucky for me? But Eunuch Wang and I are from the same hometown."

"My fellow countryman..." the prince smiled, "it seems your place is full of talented people."

Wang Fu's mouth twitched.

I'm afraid the folks won't be happy to hear such praise.

"Wang Fu, accompany me for a walk in the garden." The prince was in the mood for a walk.

Wang Fu followed the prince closely and went to the garden.

Although the garden of the East Palace is not big, it is elegant and exquisite, especially at this time of year, when flowers are blooming everywhere.

There were several palace maids working in the garden. When they saw the prince coming from afar, they quickly moved to the side of the road with their heads down.

The prince naturally did not care about these palace maids of the lowest status. He strolled around the garden with Wang Fu by his side, and his mood became better and better.

After some time, when his father has forgotten about Miss Lin’s kidnapping, he will be able to make some good plans.

Thinking about this, the prince thought of Wang Gui again.

Where on earth did that bastard Wang Gui go?

He got annoyed and kicked the tree.

The branches of the big tree shook, and a figure flashed by.

The prince's face suddenly changed. He took two steps back and shouted, "There's an assassin!"

The palace maids not far away rushed over, but the figure disappeared.

The prince stared at the thick tree trunk with a look of suspicion.

"Wang Fu, go and take a look."

"Yes." Wang Fu responded quickly, carefully walked around to the other side of the tree, and then retreated repeatedly with a look of horror on his face.

"What's wrong?" asked the prince.

Wang Fu raised his hand and pointed at the tree, trembling.

The prince took a step forward as if possessed by a ghost, and vaguely caught a glimpse of a hanging black shadow.

He broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

At this time, several palace maids ran over.

"Protect His Highness!"

"Your Highness, where is the assassin?"

The prince pointed at the tree with an unhappy look on his face.

It didn't seem to be an assassin, but a person hanging on a tree.

Several palace servants slowly walked around behind the tree and gasped.

Someone hanged himself!

Just at this moment, the hanging man turned half a circle and faced them.

"It's Eunuch Wang!" screamed a palace maid.

Several palace servants were frightened and shocked: "It really is Eunuch Wang!"

"Which eunuch is it?" The prince's heart was inexplicably tense, and he asked Wang Fu.

Wang Fu choked up and said, "Your Highness, yes, it is Eunuch Wang Gui."

The prince's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously took a few steps, finally seeing the true face of the hanging person.

It was a face he was very familiar with, it was undoubtedly Wang Gui!

"What's going on?" the prince asked with a pale face.

Wang Fu stood in front of the prince and advised, "Your Highness, please don't look at it."

The prince nodded and moved away, but his heart was beating uncontrollably.

Wang Gui actually hanged himself!

At this moment, a distorted face flashed through the prince's mind.

The prince shook his head violently to get rid of the terrifying face, and his breathing became heavy.

The Crown Princess, the Crown Princess was hung on a tree after her death!

His eyes slowly shifted towards the tree.

Wang Gui had been untied and laid on the ground. The normally clever and amusing man now looked like a dead fish on land, stiff and disgusting.

The prince looked away and said fiercely, "Send someone to investigate. Wang Gui must have been murdered!"

In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Tai'an put down his brush and turned his head to ask Liu Chuan, "Has Wang Gui been dealt with?"

"Your Majesty, it has been resolved."

"What's the prince's reaction?"

"The Crown Prince determined that Wang Gui was murdered and demanded a thorough investigation."

Emperor Tai'an looked disappointed.

What happened that day, coupled with Wang Gui's death, he thought the prince would reflect and restrain himself, but he didn't expect him to be still like this.

"Go to the East Palace."

"yes."

Liu Chuan went to the Eastern Palace and met the prince who was upset because of Wang Gui's death.

"Eunuch Liu, you've arrived just in time. Please help me find out who killed Wang Gui!"

Liu Chuan stepped forward and spoke in a low voice, "I know that Your Highness had a deep friendship with Wang Gui, and you are heartbroken and unable to accept his death. But think about it, Your Highness. This is the Imperial Palace, with a real dragon guarding it. How could such a murderer exist? Wang Gui's death is God's will."

"What is God's will--" The prince paused when he met Liu Chuan's meaningful gaze.

God’s will, God’s will—he suddenly opened his eyes wide, full of shock.

Is that what he meant, that Wang Gui was killed by his father?

Cold sweat instantly broke out all over his body, and until Liu Chuan left, the prince was still like a clay sculpture.

After a long time, the prince started smashing things like crazy.

The precious tea set and vase were broken into pieces on the ground, and the sound of "dong dong dong" made people's hearts tighten.

"Your Highness, be careful not to get hurt." Wang Fu blocked the flying porcelain fragments.

"Get out of here!" The prince kicked Wang Fu away with red eyes.

Wang Fu crawled over, looking worried: "Your Highness, please don't hurt yourself!"

"Get out!" The prince kicked again.

Wang Fu crawled back silently.

One kicked without mercy, the other crawled back relentlessly. This absurd scene seemed so natural in the East Palace.

Finally, the prince got tired of kicking and stared at the eunuch crawling at his feet and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Fu, which means blessing."

"Wang Fu." The prince sat on the couch exhausted and repeated the name unconsciously.

The palace maid standing in the corner, not daring to make a sound, secretly glanced at the humble eunuch, not knowing whether to feel envy or emotion.

His Highness has really remembered Wang Fu, and he will probably be the one to replace Wang Gui in the future.

These palace servants guessed correctly. The prince was in a very bad mood after realizing Emperor Tai'an's warning to him. The clever and considerate Wang Fu soon became the prince's indispensable person.

At this moment, a piece of news suddenly spread among the officials and nobles.
