Chapter 335 Sniper Killing (Part 2)
"Your Highness, Second Prince, since you are about to die, I will kindly tell you that your suspicion that Liu Heng did not commit suicide is indeed correct!"
Yuan Ziyu smiled slightly, but this smile made Xuanyuan Xiao feel a chill in his bones.
He suspected that Liu Heng did not commit suicide because he had just said it in A'man's yard.
It turned out that Yuan Ziyu was in A'man's yard just now. Not only did she eavesdrop on his conversation, but she also followed him all the way while he was drunk. However, for such a long time, not only him, but even the guards in the mansion did not notice her presence.
besides……
She knew that Liu Heng did not commit suicide.
Then, the person who killed Liu Heng was either her or Huo Xifei!
Of course, Xuanyuan Xiao is more inclined to think it is Huo Xifei.
"You...you are so audacious!" Xuanyuan Xiao was shocked and angry: "He is an official appointed by the imperial court."
"So what?" Yuan Ziyu said softly, "Who else would know? Besides..."
Yuan Ziyu's eyes flashed with cruelty: "When you and Liu Heng sent assassins to kill Huo Xifei, didn't you consider that Huo Xifei was also an official appointed by the imperial court? Why can you do it but I can't? Since you sowed the seeds that day, you should have thought about the consequences today!"
"You...you..." Xuanyuan Xiao felt Yuan Ziyu's deep hatred and faint murderous intent, and began to feel afraid. It was late at night and it was quiet. If Yuan Ziyu wanted to kill him silently, it would be easy.
No!
He can't die. He is still young and has a lot of things to do. He hasn't even challenged the throne yet!
"Second Miss Yuan!" Xuanyuan Xiao's tone softened. "You misunderstood me. I only found out about the assassination attempt on Huo Xifei afterward. If I had known in advance that Liu Heng was going to send someone to assassinate Huo Xifei, I would have definitely stopped it. I'm the second prince of the Dali Dynasty. How could I tolerate the assassination of an official appointed by the imperial court?"
"Hmph!" Yuan Ziyu sneered, "Second Prince, you're trying to clear yourself of all charges now. Are you bullying Liu Heng for not defending himself even after he's dead? Didn't you just say you wanted to avenge your uncle? How come you've switched sides so quickly? If your uncle knew you were blaming him for everything, would he be so angry he'd come back to life?"
"Everything I said is true!" Xuanyuan Xiao panicked upon hearing Yuan Ziyou say this. Yuan Ziyou's increasingly obvious murderous intent completely threw him off balance. "Second Miss Yuan, please believe me. I truly have no ill will towards Huo Xifei. Don't worry, as long as you let me go today, I promise not to tell anyone about what happened tonight, and I will never cause you any trouble."
After saying that, he quickly added, "I promise, I promise as a prince, how about that?"
"Hmph!" Yuan Ziyou sneered, "I'm afraid that if I let you go tonight, my Yuan and Huo families will be destroyed tomorrow. Your Highness, Second Prince, do you really think everyone is a fool? Do you think everyone will believe whatever you say?"
"No, listen to me..." Xuanyuan Xiao hurriedly tried to clarify.
Yuan Ziyu no longer gave Xuanyuan Xiao a chance to figure things out. He threw the drug in his hand and knocked Xuanyuan Xiao unconscious.
Yuan Ziyu looked coldly at the unconscious Xuanyuan Xiao, narrowed her eyes, and put him into the Qiongjiang Pavilion. Then she drove the Qiongjiang Pavilion to the garden of the prince's mansion. She knew that there was a lake in the garden.
When they arrived at the lake, Yuan Ziyu took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and took Xuanyuan Xiao out of the Qiongjiang Pavilion, and pressed Xuanyuan Xiao's head into the lake.
Xuanyuan Xiao woke up after choking on water while unconscious, and found that Yuan Ziyu was trying to drown him. He immediately struggled, but Yuan Ziyu had given him cartilage powder, and he had no strength left in his body. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape Yuan Ziyu's shackles!
In the end, Xuanyuan Xiao unwillingly took his last breath and lay limply by the lake.
Yuan Ziyu checked Xuanyuan Xiao's breath and confirmed that he was dead. He then did the same thing and drowned Xuanyuan Xiao's personal attendant in the lake. Finally, he pushed the bodies of both men into the lake.
After doing all this, Yuan Ziyu did not stay and left the Second Prince's Mansion without anyone noticing.
When she returned to Wuyou Pavilion, Yuan Ziyu discovered that Huo Xifei was waiting for her in the room, so she hurriedly brought Huo Xifei into Qiongjiang Pavilion.
"You'er!" Huo Xi was suddenly pulled into the Qiongjiang Pavilion. He was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Yuan Ziyu standing in front of him, he immediately felt relieved.
He knew that Yuan Ziyu was going to assassinate Xuanyuan Xiao tonight, but Yuan Ziyu refused to take her with him, and the Second Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded. If he followed her rashly, he might ruin Yuan Ziyu's plans, so he had no choice but to wait in Wuyou Pavilion. Fortunately, Yuan Ziyu returned safely!
"Brother Xi, don't worry, I'm fine!" Yuan Ziyu saw the worry in Huo Xifei's eyes and comforted him with a smile!
"You'er, if you go into the palace, take me with you!" Huo Xifei knew that Liu Zhaoyi was Yuan Ziyu's next target, but the palace was not like the Second Prince's Mansion, and the security was stricter. Even if Yuan Ziyu had the support of Qiongjiang Pavilion, he would still be in danger.
"No, I can do it myself!" Yuan Ziyu didn't want Huo Xifei to take risks with him.
"You'er, take me with you. I know the palace better than you do!" Huo Xifei insisted. "There are so many secret guards in the palace. If you wander off, even this Qiongjiang Pavilion won't be able to protect you! You don't want to implicate Aunt Liu, Uncle Yuan, Zi'an, and Zining, do you?"
Yuan Ziyou was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded: "Okay!"
Huo Xifei finally calmed down and touched Yuan Ziyu's hair with a smile!
"Brother Xi, now I have really become a female devil!" Yuan Ziyu frowned and said to Huo Xifei!
"It doesn't matter, I just like the female devil!" Huo Xifei said as if he didn't care.
Yuan Ziyu smiled when she heard that, and threw herself into Huo Xifei's arms.
"What did you say?" The next day, in Liu Zhaoyi's Yongfu Palace, Emperor Wen of Qi had just stood up when he was shocked by the news reported by Eunuch Liu and almost lost his balance: "You... say it again!"
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince... The Second Prince has passed away!" Eunuch Liu knelt on the ground with his head lowered, and repeated it in a crying voice.
"What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning?" Emperor Wen of Qi couldn't believe his ears. He shook his head and scolded Eunuch Liu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is the news sent by the Second Prince's Mansion early this morning. This old servant has confirmed it several times, and it is absolutely true. The Second Prince... The Second Prince has passed away!" Eunuch Liu understood the importance of Xuanyuan Xiao in the heart of Emperor Wen of Qi. After getting the confirmed news, he did not dare to delay and hurried to report!
"How could this happen!" Emperor Wen of Qi staggered, and Eunuch Liu hurried forward to support him: "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences!"
"Impossible! Xiao'er was healthy and well, how could he have died?" Emperor Wen of Qi took a long time to react: "Investigate, go and investigate!"
"Your Majesty, who... who passed away?"
