"presumptuous!"
"Wang Huaiqing, who allowed you to speak to the emperor like that?"
The prince was full of righteousness and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. There was no trace of fear in his eyes.
Wang Huaiqing was momentarily suspicious, so he lowered his brows and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. It is not your humble servant's intention to offend Your Majesty. It is just that the Fifth Prince pushed me off the cliff yesterday. I simply want to confront the Fifth Prince and seek justice."
The prince didn't say anything, but frowned and said, "You two have played together since you were little. Haven't you done enough climbing mountains and swimming in rivers?"
"I accidentally caused you to fall, yet you harbor a grudge against me and even falsely accuse the Fifth Prince. What are your intentions?"
Wang Huaiqing was shocked: "I falsely accused you?"
The prince said angrily, "If it's not you who is making false accusations, then what is it?"
"If the Fifth Prince really wants to kill you, can you come back?"
"And your guards, why can't they testify for you?"
"What's strange is that you returned to the palace yesterday, right? Why didn't you come to complain yesterday?"
"On the contrary, today, you went to that cliff again. Who were you looking for?"
"Do you want me to carry it in for you?"
Wang Huaiqing was shocked. What on earth was the prince talking about?
Who should be carried in?
But with the sound of the prince's high five, the guards quickly carried in the bodies of Wang Huaiqing's guards who had died at the foot of the cliff.
The lifeless faces and stiff corpses showed no knife wounds, but they made people feel a chill down their spines.
The emperor subconsciously leaned closer to the prince.
The prince said, "Their deaths are indeed very strange. I have sent someone to call the Heavenly Master back to investigate."
"Don't you want justice?"
"Then watch carefully and see where justice lies."
Wang Huaiqing was so frightened that his heart tightened, and his originally inflated courage disappeared in an instant.
There was fear in his eyes, and he was worried that Zhang Tianshi would point out on the spot that these people were sucked to death.
Then he said, "I went to look for them today, but I didn't expect that they had all been killed."
"It seems this is all a misunderstanding."
The prince sneered, "But you just said that it was the Fifth Prince who pushed you off the cliff."
Wang Huaiqing quickly said, "I fell and got confused. I just remembered that I was suddenly attacked and passed out."
"Is the Fifth Prince alright?"
Upon hearing this, the prince slowed down his tone and said, "He was also frightened and is currently recuperating in the Heavenly Master's room."
Wang Huaiqing became even more frightened when he heard this, so he said, "Then let him recover from his injuries and don't alarm him."
"The same goes for the Heavenly Master. These guards died to protect me. I will take good care of their families and will never let their deaths be in vain."
The prince said, "I have already ordered the withdrawal of all the guards and servants from your house. After all, your house has been plagued by accidents one after another, and too many people have died."
"If things continue like this, people will panic, and you can't afford it."
"Of the people Princess Yun Duo brought with her, very few are left alive. The eight thousand soldiers were stationed in the camp outside the capital, far enough away to avoid being attacked."
"Otherwise, Achang will think we are from Dayan and are deliberately harming them, and will provoke a war between the two countries. We will have no choice but to send you back to Achang and explain ourselves to the king."
Wang Huaiqing said nervously: "No, I promise that Prince Xiao's Mansion will be peaceful in the future."
The prince scoffed, "I hope so."
Wang Huaiqing quickly stood up and said goodbye, not daring to stay for a moment, and walked away in shame.
Upon seeing this, the emperor's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly gave the prince a thumbs up.
And asked: "Where did you find these bodies?"
The prince said, "It was brought back by the emperor's uncle and Taoist Master Yan."
"Father, don't be afraid of him. He is just a paper tiger."
The emperor asked, "How do you see that?"
The prince said, "He wants to usurp the throne, but he is not qualified."
"We have to send him to Achang. He won't stand a chance."
After hearing this, the emperor said, "That's right."
But he still felt a lingering fear and asked, "Didn't your aunt come?"
The prince said, "When I came here, I saw the emperor's uncle looking for her. He probably didn't let her come."
The emperor said: "Your uncle is very capable, but it's a pity..."
After saying this, he sighed softly.
The prince said, "I heard from Changle that the emperor's uncle is not in good health."
The Emperor: “…” He was also worried about this.
At the same time, Lin Yue also learned from Xiao Jingyun that Wang Huaiqing had entered the palace.
Surprised, "Why is he so reckless today?"
"If we had been prepared, we could have killed him by surprise."
Lin Yue said this with some regret.
Xiao Jingyun said, "I've already asked the Crown Prince to go and put a damper on his prestige."
"He has committed many murders during this period, and his violent nature can no longer be hidden."
"The other one is Dazhuang, who may have played a certain role in promoting this."
After hearing this, Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "I never thought Da Zhuang could be used in this way."
This is directly leading Wang Huaiqing astray!
Xiao Jingyun said: "I plan to wait until he kills someone again and then kill him."
Lin Yue sat up suddenly: "You go in person."
Xiao Jingyun said: "Yeah."
"I have ambushed our men in the camp outside the capital."
"It's fine if he doesn't set his sights on those eight thousand soldiers, but if he dares to, I'll make sure he never returns."
Lin Yue asked, "Isn't that the person Princess Yun Duo brought?"
Xiao Jingyun said: "I have already told them to return to Achang Kingdom. The ones being deployed now are our people."
