Chapter 52: A Miserable Death
"oh???
The Emperor is in a good mood. Lord Song, can you tell me what is going on?
"Your Majesty, my situation is the same as that of the Second and Third Princes.
There were also some miserable corpses hanging on the beams of the house.
They are all wearing black clothes and masks, and their original faces can no longer be seen."
“I don’t know who is so bold and reckless as to violate the law.
Your Majesty, you must take charge of this for us. These thieves are so bold.
The women in the mansion were really frightened.”
Dongfang Chen sneered.
"Zhan Wang, what are you laughing at? How can you be so cold-blooded and heartless? You have no sympathy at all."
Dongfang Chen: "Sir Song, you are a little too nosy. You can control everything in the world and even whether I laugh or not.
Have you ever thought about why no one else had any problems at their residences? Only you had problems, this...?
Dongfang Chen deliberately didn't finish his words to let others guess.
The Second Prince: "Big Brother, what do you mean by this? Or is this matter related to Big Brother?"
Dongfang Chen smiled evilly, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.
What evidence do you have to prove that I am involved? If you don’t have evidence, then you are slandering me.”
"Hmph, Big Brother, you've been wanting to get rid of us brothers for a long time. What more evidence do you need? Here's the evidence.
Aren't you alive and well? Are you missing an arm or a leg? Delusion is also a disease and needs to be treated."
"If I had taken action, do you think you would still be alive today? You think too highly of yourself."
"You...Father, look, this is how my eldest brother treats us brothers."
Emperor Nanyue: "Chen'er, as their brother, you should be kind and respectful to your brothers. How can you speak like this?"
Dongfang Chen: "Brothers are friendly and respectful to each other. They deserve to love and protect their brothers.
I only have one imperial sister, are others worthy of me?"
What does the old master want to say next?
He was interrupted by the eunuch's announcement.
"Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience and says she has something important to report."
"Xuan."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Her Majesty, please come to see me."
The queen came in wearing simple clothes.
All the ministers were puzzled as to why the queen was dressed like this today?
The queen walked to the center of the hall and actually knelt down.
The Emperor: "What's wrong with the Queen today? Why is she dressed so simply and has come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"
The Queen looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, "Your Majesty, please help me."
"What's the matter? Stand up and speak. Give the Queen a seat."
"Your Majesty, it would be better for me to kneel."
The Second Prince: "Mother, what's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, just tell me. Father will definitely take care of it for you."
The second prince just received a hint from his mother, asking him to cooperate with her. Although he didn't know what his mother wanted to do, he would be happy as long as he could bring down Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen is the biggest stumbling block on his way to the throne.
"Yes, Queen, if you have any questions, please tell me. I will definitely take care of it for you."
"Your Majesty, I wonder who is so cruel and crazy.
The dead body was hung on the beam of my Qianqing Palace.
Your Majesty, you must thoroughly investigate this matter and make the decision for me. You almost lost the chance to see me. I was so scared that I almost died."
The Second Prince said: "Father, please investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone justice.
This thief is too bold. If people from other countries knew about this, wouldn't he be laughed at?
How will they view our Longyuan Nation? The other nations are already eyeing us covetously, what will they say about our father in private?
The emperor slammed his hand on the table. "Who? Who is it? Who is so audacious?"
To do such a thing in the Queen's palace is a rebellion, a real rebellion."
Although many people know who did it, they dare not show it.
Neither the King of War nor the Emperor can afford to offend them.
The King of War would act in this way to retaliate.
It’s all the fault of the Second Prince, the Queen and others. They acted too hastily and were not prepared.
The War King caught them, so he returned these bodies.
The Emperor, the Empress, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and the Grand Tutor all understood this, didn't they?
But they just couldn't understand how the War King became so powerful?
We sent so many assassins but they failed to kill him. Could it be that he has some hidden power?
These people guessed halfway, they did have a hidden force, but didn't it involve Nangong Xue?
At night, he deliberately glanced at the War King and asked, "What do you think about this matter, War King? Do you think it is related to your assassination?"
Dongfang Chen: "Oh, I'm not investigating the case, so I don't know about that.
It should be handed over to the Shuntian Prefecture Governor and the Ministry of Justice for investigation, otherwise they would be eating for free.
Since it's useless, shouldn't we leave this position for someone who needs it?"
The Shuntian prefect who lived on free meals really suffered an unexpected disaster.
The War King has always been so poisonous, and this is obviously a contest between the War King's Queen and several princes.
What could they do as subjects? They could only take the blame.
"Chen'er, what you said is inappropriate. You can't say that."
"oh!!!"
The emperor was almost furious. This rebellious son was deliberately going against him.
Do you really think he doesn't know that he was responsible for finding the bodies of the second prince, the third prince, and the queen's bedroom?
The Queen has gone too far this time. Prince Zhan is still his legitimate son after all. Isn't it a slap in his face to want to get rid of Prince Zhan?
Everyone wants to take possession of the chair under his butt. Since everyone wants it, no one else wants it.
The Queen was very happy to see the Emperor's victory over the King.
"Your Majesty," the word "Your Majesty" really made my bones melt.
I can't believe that the queen, at her old age, is still learning the jiazi sounds of young people.
"Queen, what do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, I am stupid. Why do I feel that this matter is closely related to King Zhan?"
Prince Zhan: "Queen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.
I still ask, what evidence do you have to prove that I did it? May I ask this?
Are these people related to you and your son, the Queen? You sent them all."
"What is the crime of assassinating the prince? Isn't it said that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people?
So, how would you sentence this crime? Father, what do you say?"
Queen: "Prince Zhan, you really don't take me seriously.
I am the Queen's mistress, the legitimate mother of a nation. Are you going to challenge me openly?"
"Oh, if you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext. I am also the son of the late queen.
Don't use the fact that you are the Queen to make trouble in front of me. If you make me angry, I won't mind chopping off your head and body."
"You...cough cough."
"Prince Zhan, aren't you being too arrogant? How dare you speak to my mother like that? I will have my father punish you."
"Oh," the War King sneered, "if you have the guts, then do it. I'm waiting."
