Someone immediately questioned:
"Who are you, talking nonsense here?"
Faced with doubts, Fengyun did not explain and said:
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that there's no one inside."
Naturally, no one believed him when he said that.
"If you say there's no one, then there's no one. Please don't blaspheme our king."
"Young man, I don't know what your purpose is, but you are not welcome here. Please leave."
Fengyun's words immediately made some of the older generation feel dissatisfied.
But the princess firmly stood on Fengyun's side.
After getting to know each other over the past few days, she has gradually developed trust in Fengyun.
Said: "I believe him."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
But what is even more jaw-dropping is what happens next.
"Someone, open the coffin."
But for those old people, it was just a huge joke.
Isn't this disrespectful to the dead?
They all firmly opposed it.
"Princess, no. You can't open it."
"Princess, you must not call."
"Princess, if the kingdom knew what was happening, what would he think?"
“…”
But no matter what these old men said, the princess had made up her mind to destroy Duke Rank's conspiracy.
At this time, Duke Rank came over. There was no viciousness in his eyes, but he looked lovely and amiable.
Smilingly said:
"Princess, what's wrong? Don't be bewitched by him. This is the greatest disrespect to the king."
The princess was not a fool, she did not say that her father had been resurrected.
"I don't believe my father is dead. I think he must be alive. I want to see him one last time."
There was indeed no one in Duke Rank's coffin at this time.
He was afraid that if the princess continued to be in a stalemate, his dream of becoming king would never come true.
So he pretended to be sympathetic and said:
"Ah! I know you can't bear it, and I can't accept it either. But the king is dead."
The princess kept shaking her head and crying:
"No, I don't believe it. I must see my father one last time."
Seeing the princess like this, Duke Rank was helpless.
I had no choice but to say, "Open it."
Now several people came out and slowly lifted the lid.
But when the coffin was opened, everyone immediately shouted:
"Oh no! There's no one inside."
"No one? That's impossible. I carried the king in myself."
Duke Rank hurried to the coffin.
But there was no human figure inside the coffin.
This left him stunned.
"Where are the people?"
At this moment, he suddenly woke up and scolded Fengyun:
"Tell me! Is this a trick?"
Fengyun was greatly surprised.
"Why do you say that? This is the first time I've seen this coffin. Can I perform magic tricks?"
This left Duke Rank speechless. He had done everything personally for the coronation.
Something as important as a coffin should of course be kept in one's own house.
Ordinary people really can't get access to it.
To put it another way, who would have any thoughts about a dead person?
At this time, the old people were very excited.
"There's no one in the coffin. Does that mean the king is still alive?"
"Yes, the king must not be dead yet."
“…”
The words of the old men made Duke Rank panic.
If they said that he could only ascend the throne after the king's body was found and buried.
Who knows where to find it.
Wouldn't that mean his dream of becoming king would be shattered?
He immediately stopped everyone from speaking.
"Everyone, listen to me. The king was killed on the spot by that ungrateful boy last time. I was the one who carried the king in there myself. The king is truly dead. Now we must bury the king as soon as possible."
"The king is gone. How can we bury him? Maybe he is not dead and crawled out on his own?"
"That's impossible. I saw him die myself. I have a witness. The former queen can testify."
The Queen beside Duke Rank then stood up and said:
"Everyone, listen to me. I was raped by that villain that day. The king was so angry that he argued with him, but he killed the king without saying a word. Woo woo woo..."
The queen cried so miserably.
Anyway, no one saw how the king died, so she could just make up the story.
But there is no doubt that the king was really killed by Ma Chao.
"But where is the king's body? It's not like the body will move away. Anyway, we don't believe the king is dead."
Duke Ranke became angry when he saw that these people refused to let him be buried.
"What you are doing is a blasphemy against the king. The king is dead, and you won't let him rest in peace."
"If the king dies, what about the people? We won't be allowed to bury him until we see his body."
There is no point in seeing this endless tug-of-war.
So he shouted loudly:
"Even if there's no one inside, we still have to bury him. Our Loulan Kingdom can't be without a king for a day. Can you afford to delay important matters?"
When he said that, Fengyun laughed.
Because the king has arrived.
"Haha, Duke Rank. You're so anxious to become king."
Hearing someone's mocking voice, Duke Rank turned around and saw a familiar face.
He immediately screamed, "It was he who killed the king. Catch him!"
