Chapter 136 Exposure
Standing in the crowd, Gu Qingcheng, who lacked great virtue, was immediately scolded by everyone until her face turned red and burned with pain, as if she had been slapped several times.
She looked at everyone with a gloomy face, resentment growing in her heart, and she could no longer control the expression on her face. Her originally stunningly beautiful face was now strangely distorted.
It looks a bit eerie.
At this time, Lin Pianran made a brilliant appearance.
She wore a moon-white skirt with a light blue cape draped over it. She looked pretty and charming, as graceful as a startled swan, with an elegant figure.
She lowered her head, looking as thin as a willow branch, and pretended to be very sad after being slandered.
She said softly, "It takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them. People who spread rumors are really despicable!"
"It's obviously Prince Huo Xiao and Princess Baoqing who are a couple, how can you drag me into this?"
"You must have seen that I'm helpless and have no one to help me, so you take advantage of your strength to bully me."
"The character of this kind of person is truly worrying! Everyone should give them a wide berth and punish them if they have the right!"
After he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Gu Qingcheng, attracting everyone's attention.
Just one glance was enough for some smart people to guess that the rumormonger was Gu Qingcheng.
Some people even looked at Gu Qingcheng with contempt.
Gu Qingcheng was suddenly at a loss when everyone looked at her. Those unfriendly looks seemed to want to scrape off a layer of her flesh.
Lin Pianran spoke again, "It just so happens that Lord Shen Xuanzhi is here too. I want to report the case and ask him to find out who is causing the trouble and make sure that person receives the punishment they deserve."
"We must not allow such despicable and shameless people to continue to act recklessly. We must prevent such things from happening again."
Every one of these indirect words fell into Gu Qingcheng's ears, making her feel even more ashamed.
At this moment, Shen Xuanzhi came over with several officers, carrying two corpses.
The body was placed on a stretcher and covered with a white sheet.
Princess Xuan also rushed over after hearing the news. She rushed over and lifted the white cloth. Seeing Huo Xiao's face, which had already turned pale and looked deathly, she screamed "Ah" and fainted.
The maids and servants who followed behind rushed forward in a flurry, carrying the person out while shouting, "Imperial Physician, quickly go find the Imperial Physician!"
Lin Pianran looked coldly at the people in Prince Xuan's Mansion, who were busying around with a worried look on their faces.
There was no trace of emotion on his face.
Thinking of the cruel things that the people in Prince Xuan's Mansion had done to Huo Yuchen, the hatred in his eyes still did not dissipate at all.
Now, Prince Xuan Huoya and his two legitimate sons have been killed, almost completely wiping out all the male descendants of the main line of Prince Xuan's palace.
Only the female members of the household and two illegitimate sons were left in Prince Xuan's mansion, one aged fifteen and the other thirteen.
It almost destroyed the foundation of Prince Xuan's Palace.
If from now on, the people in Prince Xuan's palace can be cautious and do their duty, they will naturally be protected by the emperor's grace and live the rest of their lives in peace.
But if they still do not know how to advance or retreat, do not repent, harbor evil intentions, continue to collude with Prince Chang, and do things to hurt Huo Yuchen, Lin Pianran is sure that Prince Xuan's Mansion will be uprooted sooner or later and will no longer exist.
Gu Qingcheng stood in the crowd, looking coldly at Princess Xuan and her entourage.
She didn't expect that Princess Baoqing and Huo Xiao were both dead. She thought she could use Huo Xiao to throw dirty water on Lin Pianran and let Prince Huo Yuchen be humiliated as well!
However, he didn't expect that the rumors he had people spread would be debunked in an instant.
Her and Prince Chang's scheme became so ridiculous!
She never expected that the good situation would be completely reversed overnight.
The prince actually killed Wu Chi and his two disciples, and also fought off the people from Wuji Sect. He even killed all the black-clothed men led by King Cheng without leaving a single piece of armor, and almost all of them were killed.
The prince was safe and sound, but King Cheng died tragically on the spot.
As soon as Prince Chang returned to Mingyue Villa this morning, he was punished with thirty lashes of the cane and is now lying in bed recuperating from his injuries.
Master Wang was beaten to a pulp, his skin torn and bloody, and he remains unconscious.
The three commanders of the Imperial Guards accepted the beatings and punishments without daring to say a word.
Prince Xuan's Palace, Prince Chang's most capable assistant, had all its direct descendants assassinated in the blink of an eye.
Were their deaths really accidents?
Absolutely impossible!
Gu Qingcheng absolutely didn't believe it.
The deaths of these people are definitely closely related to Crown Prince Huo Yuchen.
But this is just speculation, without any evidence.
In order to kill Huo Xiao, the prince even cruelly abandoned his own cousin Princess Baoqing. It can be seen that he knew some of the truth, hated Prince Xuan's Mansion, and vowed to trample it into the mud.
Thinking of Huo Yuchen's fierce and cruel methods, Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but shudder and broke out in cold sweat.
This is too scary!
Gu Qingcheng felt like the sky was falling.
She and Prince Chang had spent so much time planning, but it was all ruined in one day.
There was heartache, unwillingness, and an inexplicable fear in my heart.
It was obvious that the situation was favorable to her and King Chang. They had calculated everything very carefully and arranged everything in advance.
But it still failed.
Huo Yuchen was being hunted by so many martial arts masters, and the situation that was certain for his death was easily broken by him, and he actually survived by chance.
Given Huo Yuchen's ruthless and vengeful nature, he will definitely take revenge on King Chang.
Then how could Gu Qingcheng have any good results?
"How could this happen? How could this happen?..."
Gu Qingcheng kept muttering to herself, looking a little dazed.
What's even more terrifying is that Lin Pianran had clearly been captured and imprisoned by them, but he escaped unscathed. Now he is still safe and sound, appearing in front of everyone with a smile on his face.
All of this is so weird and incomprehensible.
It also seemed to be mocking her ignorance, incompetence and shallow knowledge.
The plan they carefully laid out was nothing but child's play for Huo Yuchen and Lin Pianran.
Gu Qingcheng was somewhat distraught. She was supported by the maid beside her and left in a hurry. She wanted to report the situation of Prince Xuan's Mansion to Prince Chang and discuss the subsequent countermeasures.
At the same time, a very dangerous feeling surged in her heart.
She always felt that there was a pair of scary eyes staring at her every move, as if they were a wild beast, wanting to devour her without leaving any trace.
The feeling sent chills down her spine and frightened her heart.
She held the maid's hand tightly and urged, "Hurry up! Let's go back! I don't want to stay here for a moment, let's go quickly..."
The maid had to speed up the pace of helping her walk back.
Lin Pianran watched Gu Qingcheng fleeing in a panic and narrowed her eyes. "You, a femme fatale, after all your scheming, you should be satisfied to marry Prince Chang, right?"
"I just hope that when Prince Chang falls, you won't cry too much!"
