Chapter 101 Confrontation
On the opposite side, Han Guang's face had become as black as the bottom of a pot.
Suddenly——
Three more white lights shot out from his sleeves!
When Shen Yue heard this, she was shocked! Three flying knives, one aimed at her throat, one at her heart, and one straight at her forehead.
Not only that, the last flying knife in Han Guang's hand also flew over quickly!
At this moment, the guests present were so nervous that they almost cried out.
It happened so quickly that Shen Yue moved and everyone only saw a purple afterimage. In the blink of an eye, three flying knives were accurately nailed to the apples beside her hands and feet.
Without waiting for anyone to react, she suddenly turned sideways, and the apple in her mouth instantly met the last flying knife.
She used inertia to move like a tornado. In the blink of an eye, she had already used the force of the flying knife, and the handle of the knife was forward, like a silver rainbow piercing the sun, shooting towards the dragon throne!
Emperor Qi Yuan was so shocked that his pupils suddenly shrank, but Xiao Yuheng silently raised the corners of his lips.
Before he could see clearly, the gilded dragon behind the dragon throne let out a sharp buzzing sound, and the blade, wrapped in a soul-chasing silver light, quickly bounced out!
The knife flashed and a muffled groan suddenly sounded.
Han Guang covered his throat tightly, blood kept flowing out from the cracks in his hands, his throat gurgled, but he couldn't utter a word.
With resentment and fear, he took a last look at Shen Yue.
Finally, it fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Ah? Dead?"
All the guests present were overwhelmed by the sudden fright, as if a flock of birds were frightened and running around in panic.
Emperor Qi Yuan had obviously seen big scenes before. He was only panicked for a moment before regaining his composure and coldly scolded:
"Silence, silence! Look at what you all look like!"
Shen Yue slowly took off the hairband in front of her eyes, looked at Han Guang's body on the ground, and secretly curled the corners of her lips.
She originally just wanted to teach Han Guang a lesson, cripple one of his hands or something, but Han Guang wanted to kill her with every blow, which aroused her murderous intent.
In that case, don't blame her for killing him.
"Your Majesty, Guard Han's flying knives are indeed powerful. Every knife hits the apple on my body accurately. But why did he die suddenly?"
Shen Yue knelt on the ground and started to act stupid again.
Emperor Qi Yuan obviously did not expect her to say this and was a little confused, but Xiao Ye had already experienced this trick of hers and immediately slammed the table and stood up:
"You daring slave! You killed two of my captains of guards in a row, and you still dare to act crazy and stupid here!"
He came before the emperor and knelt angrily: "Father, the emperor's uncle's guards have repeatedly provoked me, and today they almost injured your body. Please allow me to execute him on the spot!"
Xiao Yuheng smiled calmly, "Your Majesty, this guard of yours doesn't have many good qualities, except that he's extremely honest and never lies. I guess Han Guang must have practiced some strange sword technique that caused the flying knife to deflect, thus killing himself."
Hearing this, Shen Yue couldn't help laughing and pinched her thigh secretly.
Hiss~ It hurts, I have to hold it in.
"How is it possible for a flying knife to turn?" Xiao Ye's neck turned red with anger. "It was clearly Shen Er who used his inner strength to reverse the blade, startling the Holy Rider and killing Han Guang!"
"I didn't do that, Your Majesty, please understand!"
Shen Yue raised her head, her peach blossom eyes were as clear as water, full of innocence.
"Just when I caught the last flying knife, I felt a strange force coming from the blade. Not only did it pull me off balance, but it also headed straight for Your Majesty. This Han Guang clearly wants to kill the king!"
"Regicide?" Emperor Qi Yuan was shocked and subconsciously glared at Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye was immediately frightened and his face turned pale. "No, Father, Han Guang did not intend to kill the king, and I have no such intention!"
Chen Yue continued to exaggerate, "Han Guang most likely intended to assassinate His Majesty through a performance, but His Majesty possessed a protective dragon energy. The flying knife bounced back before it even touched a single dragon scale, killing the murderer."
Dragon Qi? Emperor Qi Yuan was even more confused. He had such a thing?
But if I say no, it seems a little wrong.
"My dear, what do you think?"
Wan Mei slowly raised her eyelids, glanced at Chen Yue, and then said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, Han Guang has already died. I dare not speak rashly about such a serious matter as regicide. Your Majesty is holding a banquet today to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. Other matters may be put aside for now and investigated later."
She spoke without making a single mistake, and others thought she was just being neutral, but Xiao Yuheng heard a strong sense of partiality in her words.
The flying knife performance was originally requested by the prince. He had an unshirkable responsibility for frightening the emperor. In addition, Ah Yue's nonsense would plant the seeds of doubt in his heart no matter how much His Majesty loved the prince.
In today's matter, both sides have no evidence to support their claims. Continuing to argue will only increase Your Majesty's suspicion.
And she obviously didn't want this result.
Xiao Yuheng and Wan Mei had no old acquaintance, and the person she didn't want His Majesty to suspect couldn't be him.
Since it's not him, it can only be the prince.
Wan Mei is indeed the prince's person.
"Seventeen, what do you think?" Emperor Qi Yuan's words brought Xiao Yuheng back to his senses.
Xiao Yuheng bowed his head respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think what the Queen said makes sense. Han Guang is dead, so there is no way to verify it. If you insist on speculating, it will not only do no good, but will also damage the harmony."
Emperor Qi Yuan nodded in agreement:
"That makes sense. Then let's listen to Seventeen and let's put this matter behind us for now. After all the commotion today, I'm sure you're not in the mood to continue drinking. Let's end the dinner here!"
"yes."
"Wait a minute."
Xiao Yuheng and Wan Mei said in unison.
Wan Mei's eyebrows slightly curved, and she smiled at Xiao Yuheng:
"This is the first time I've met King Cheng. I wanted to give His Highness a red coral tree I stumbled upon the other day, but in my haste, I ended up leaving it in His Majesty's Qilong Palace. Luckily, it's not far away. How about having Guard Shen go with me to get it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuheng obviously hesitated for a moment.
It's just a coral tree. She can just ask a eunuch to take it. Why does she need to go there in person?
I'm afraid that taking the coral tree is not a real intention, and the real intention is to see A Yue alone.
He curled the corners of his lips slightly and finally nodded, "Your Majesty's order will be obeyed. Shen Er, go."
"yes."
Shen Yue followed Wan Mei and walked to a rockery. Seeing that there was no one else around, she spoke slowly:
"I heard that the red coral tree is extremely precious, and one tree is worth ten thousand taels of silver. Is my aunt really so kind as to give it to the prince?"
Wan Mei scoffed and paused, "Hey, Forty-Nine, you're not pretending anymore? I thought you had completely forgotten what your aunt looked like!"
"Forty-nine dare not."
Shen Yue looked at her, her gentle eyes gradually filled with murderous intent.
"Ten years ago, I was begging on the streets, but you chose to capture me and send me to the training grounds in Sifang City. I spent so many years with Codename Six, living a life worse than a beggar. How could I dare to forget such a great kindness?"
