Chapter 51 Plan Failed
"Don't bother me, Master. If you can't even solve this little thing, what's the point of having you?
How much help has the mansion given you before? If there is really nothing you don't know, go back to your parents' home and think of a solution.
You all just eat and drink what I have, what use are you? Get out of here! "
Aunt Liu felt particularly aggrieved. What could she do? Her father was only a minor official.
Her mother was not favored at all, and her father only loved his concubine and concubine sister, so what else could she do? If she had a choice, she would not become someone else's concubine.
Why is her life so miserable? This is going to drive her to the brink of death.
Nangong Xue saw that no one threw the jewelry into the space, hummed a song, and prepared to go to the street to listen to gossip.
The Second Prince's Mansion, the Third Prince's Mansion, the Queen's Bedroom, the Shuntian Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and the Yulin General's Mansion were all in an uproar at this time.
The servants, old women, and maids all started screaming.
The servants got up to do their work, but they were so frightened by the scene that they fainted.
There was a row of corpses hanging on the wall of the room, and the corpses looked particularly miserable.
Could it be that the King of Hell has come to claim our lives? Otherwise, why would there be so many corpses for no apparent reason?
In the Queen's bedroom, the Queen was trembling with fear.
These people were obviously sent by her to assassinate that little bastard, but it seems they failed.
Moreover, his death looked horrible, and it seemed that he had suffered some torture before dying.
Will she give her away? Even if she does, so what? Who would believe such a scary statement?
At that time, she would insist that it was the War King who framed her.
Aren’t these the most powerful killers? They were actually exposed. It seems the little bastard still has some skills.
Didn't they swear that they could complete the mission? How dare they lie to her? How could these people want to die?
Several screaming maids have been punished by the Queen. How can they be so disgraceful and screaming in panic?
"Eunuch Li, please send someone to inform the Second and Third Princes and have them come back to see me after the court session. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Yes, my lady."
"Madame Li, what do you think about this? Feel free to say that you are my dowry nanny. I trust you very much."
"Your Majesty, what we must do is to make sure that the Emperor does not find any evidence against us.
All you have to do is cry in front of the emperor and say that you are too frightened, and let the emperor make the decision for you.
As the head of the harem, the emperor will definitely investigate thoroughly into such a serious matter."
"Anyway, what we did was flawless, no one could find out.
If we can then pin the blame on Prince Zhan, the Emperor will dislike him even more."
"Oh, Madam Li, you are indeed my confidant, and you are deeply loved by me.
That's it, change me into some simple clothes, and I'll go find the Emperor."
"Yes, my lady."
The Queen was unaware that a fierce quarrel had broken out in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The reason was that someone hired a killer to kill the War King in broad daylight.
The emperor was very angry. These people really didn't take him seriously and dared to openly challenge his authority.
How would the world view him? As the ruler of a country, the most important thing for him was face.
His son was actually assassinated. If he ignored it and let it go, it would be a blatant challenge to his imperial dignity.
Dali Temple Minister Shen Mubai received the signal from the War King and stood up.
"Your Majesty, these assassins are truly too rampant. They actually dared to attack members of the royal family in broad daylight. They have no regard for Your Majesty and the law.
Please Your Majesty, please investigate carefully and bring these evildoers and the masterminds behind this to justice.
Give the War King justice. He went to the battlefield at a young age, fighting against the enemy for the people of Longyuan Country and suffering untold hardships."
"Now someone is actually trying to kill him. Who among the generals and the people of the world would agree to this?"
The Grand Secretary also stood up and echoed.
"Your Majesty, Lord Shen is right. The court is currently in turmoil, and the other states are eyeing us covetously.
If something happens to the War King, who will be responsible for the safety of the border?"
Grand Tutor Song Yuanting said, "Sir Zheng, this is wrong. Are you threatening the emperor?
As the prince of Longyuan Kingdom, isn't it the duty of the War King to protect the country and the borders?
How come you say it as if the War King is more important than the Emperor?"
"Is that what you mean?"
Zheng Yanqing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"Grand Master, why are you misinterpreting my meaning? You are putting the War King in an unjust position.
If our Longyuan Kingdom did not have the King of War, there would be no peace and stability as it is today.
How about this, Grand Master? Next time there's a war, you go into battle yourself, how about that?"
"you……."
"Zheng Yanqing, you are just a child. I am a scholar. How can I, at my age, go to the battlefield?"
"Oh, you know that a scholar like you can't go to the battlefield, so just keep quiet."
Emperor Nanyue: "Alright, stop arguing, what's the proper order in the court?
Are you alright, War King? Do you know who these people are?"
Dongfang Chen sneered, "Your Majesty, do you hope that I'm okay or not? How would I know who wants to kill me?
You're the Emperor, shouldn't you send someone to investigate? Shouldn't all of this be under your control?
If I check, they'll probably give me another copy and accuse me of being reckless and challenging the imperial authority."
"But if I knew who did it, I would tear him into pieces and make him regret what he did.
Oh!! Maybe those killers will go and seek justice from their masters after they die.”
Why did these words sound so familiar to some of the ministers below? Why did they feel so creepy?
Cough cough.
The emperor, who was sitting on the throne, coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Prince Zhan, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to investigate and give you a satisfactory explanation.
It seems I have been too lenient recently. Dali Temple, Ministry of Justice, and Shuntian Prefecture Governor, investigate together. I want to see which one of them disrespects me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Second Prince: "Father, Your Majesty, I have a memorial to make."
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know who played this prank, actually hanging a dead body in the Second Prince's mansion.
Father, you must make the decision for me."
The Third Prince said, "Father, what my brother said is right, and it is the same in my Third Prince's Mansion.
You don't know how scared I was. Those people died in such a miserable state, their flesh and blood were all over the place.
I am still frightened and don't know who is so bold as to trespass into our prince's mansion.
Father, please be clear-headed."
After they finished speaking, they glanced at Dongfang Chen intentionally or unintentionally, and this action was already very obvious.
Isn't it just reporting to the emperor that it was Dongfang Chen who did it?
Dongfang Chen, (This is what I did, what can you do to me?)
Shuntian Prefecture Governor: "Your Majesty, do you think this incident has anything to do with Prince Zhan? How could it be such a coincidence? The same thing happened in my mansion as well."
