"I didn't kill him! I didn't!" Ling Qianyi panicked.

Tonight's dinner is of vital importance to King Chen. Every word he says may lead to the collapse of the empire.

He failed to help Prince Chen and was instead outwitted by Master Gu.

He looked at King Chen in panic:

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. It was Master Gu who rushed over to me. He framed me! He framed me..."

He is wronged!

"I didn't kill anyone to silence them, I didn't destroy the body, I didn't..."

Qin Ye naturally knew that he was innocent.

Even if you use your toes to think, you can see that Master Gu used his own death to slander Prince Chen.

But everyone was watching, and even though they knew Ling Qianyi was innocent, they couldn't stop them from talking.

Because of this, they are already at a disadvantage and no longer have the advantage...

Zong Zhengli sneered and said quietly:

"Prince Chen, my seventh brother, you and I are brothers. Although we are not born of the same mother, we have the same blood flowing in our bodies. Why do you have to do such a drastic thing?"

He looked at Zong Zhengchen with deep eyes:

"Could it be that my being alive is getting in your way?"

Prime Minister Qin interrupted sharply: "Prince Li, you gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, isn't that the biggest stumbling block for Prince Chen?"

He accused:

"If he wants to get the throne, he must get rid of you! After you die, the emperor's eldest grandson will still be young and isolated, and he will be eaten sooner or later. In this way, the throne will fall firmly into his hands!"

Zong Zhengli suddenly realized, "Ah~"

I see.

"Seventh brother, it's not my fault that I gave birth to a son. Ziye is only a month old, still so young, and you're plotting against him. Not only are you targeting my younger brother, you're not even sparing the one-month-old baby."

He said innocently:

"You want the throne, I won't fight with you. I just ask you to let Ziye and I live. I am willing to take Ziye away from the imperial capital and never set foot here again."

His gentle and yielding appearance made King Chen seem even more arrogant and overbearing.

The followers of King Li were furious:

"Lord Chen, you are pushing your luck! You can't bully others like this!"

"This is such a huge imperial capital, such a huge Dongling Kingdom, do you really want to cover the sky with one hand?"

"Your conspiracy has been exposed. We will not sit idly by. If you want to get rid of Prince Li and the eldest grandson of the emperor, you must step over our dead bodies first!"

They all stood in front of King Li and supported him.

The emperor frowned, "Second Master Gu's death was strange, and this matter needs further investigation. I know the temper of Prince Chen, he is not the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goal!"

He favors King Chen.

Prime Minister Qin said angrily: "Your Majesty, the evidence is clearly in front of you, are you still going to protect him?"

He hit the nail on the head with the word 'shelter'!

"I am not shielding you, I am trusting you!"

"Everyone wears a mask, and masks can deceive people. What you see and what is real are often not the same thing. Your Majesty, you are in a high position, it is impossible that you don't understand such a simple truth!" Prime Minister Qin's tone was aggressive.

The emperor frowned and remained silent for a moment.

The messy scene seemed to be out of control, and all kinds of remarks were moving in a direction that was unfavorable to King Chen.

Qin Ye frowned.

After Master Gu died, the situation collapsed. Even if they wanted to investigate or explain, they no longer had the chance.

Zong Zhengli was ruthless and forced them to death.

The results of tonight are already clear.

Zong Zhengchen held her hand and said softly:

"Ye'er, please leave the palace first."

Qin Ye's body shook violently.

What nonsense is he talking about?

How could she leave him alone to face it? Whether it was favorable or unfavorable, she would always be with him.

She held his hand back and snorted unhappily:

"You want to kick me out now? That's not what you said when we were in bed."
