Chapter 191 The Crown Prince is not good enough

An Yunxi blinked.

Are all fathers so cautious?

Although the person who set the fire was difficult to catch, the palace guards were more numerous, and it took some time to finally catch the two men in black.

The two men were wearing night clothes, and they were able to sneak into the palace, so their martial arts must be not weak.

However, when they were caught, the two men were not too panicked. One of them immediately bit the poison sac in his mouth and committed suicide.

When the other man was about to bite, he was punched in the face by an experienced leader, and the poison sac hidden in his teeth fell out, so he failed to commit suicide.

After sending the man tied up, the leader of the imperial guards heaved a sigh of relief and immediately brought his subordinates to Ling Fengxun to report the news.

"Your Highness, there are two people who set the fire. They are both of unknown origin. They are wearing night clothes and no obvious identity characteristics can be found. There are poison sacs in their mouths. They are probably assassins from somewhere who came to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ling Fengxun raised his eyes and asked, "Where is the Crown Prince?"

His palace was burned down, but the man has not appeared yet.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood. It seems that he went to the Yu Garden and has not come back."

Before he finished speaking, An Yunxi heard footsteps not far away.

A figure walked out of the darkness and came to the vicinity of the East Palace where flames were blazing.

Seeing that the fire had enveloped all of his palaces, and there was no sign of the fire going out, he stood outside the palace in amazement.

His eyes were full of disbelief!

"My East Palace!"

An Yunxi saw the pale face of the prince.

Under the dim firelight, the prince's lips trembled, and the expression on his face was slightly shocked and confused.

He was like being in a dream. He

just learned that his father had passed away, and now he came back, his home was gone?

An Yunxi touched the tip of his nose.

Seeing the prince so absent-minded, he felt embarrassed for a moment.

After all, Ling Fengxun had planned to send people to do it himself before this.

But by mistake, the people they arranged were not used, and someone got there first.

An Yunxi was also somewhat curious about the identities of these men in black.

The man in black knelt on the ground without saying a word. The mask on his face was taken off, revealing an ordinary, expressionless face.

His eyes were dark and there was no light in them. Even when the people around him kicked and kicked him, he did not react at all.

It was as if he turned a blind eye to the kicking and humiliation.

The prince finally woke up. He immediately came to the tied man in black, grabbed the man's collar, and shouted angrily: "Tell me, who arranged for you to burn down this prince's palace!"

However, his rage did not affect the assassin. The man did not even focus his eyes to look at him and said nothing.

Even Ling Fenghuan had rarely seen such assassins.

They were definitely trained by that kind of big forces since childhood.

A consumable specially used to do something shady, and will commit suicide if discovered

An Yunxi pursed her lips and couldn't help but say, "What a cruel method."

Ling Fengxun pondered for a moment, and had some guesses in his mind.

"The ten secret guards around the emperor are all trained in this way, but these people should be failures."

The so-called failures are people with average martial arts but very loyal.

When they are training, they have to go through various punishments and get used to endless pain.

For them, death is liberation.

Therefore, they will bite the poison sac without hesitation and will not reveal the identity of the person behind the scenes before they die.

"Your Highness guessed that these people might be trained by the royal family?"

Ling Fengxun thought for a moment, and a dark color flashed across his eyes.

"Perhaps, they are not from the royal family of Beiling Kingdom."

The meaning of this sentence is already very clear.

If they are not from Beiling Kingdom, then they must be from Nanqi.

An Yunxi reacted immediately.

Her third brother was trapped in the palace. Not only did she and the prince want to save him, but the forces behind him would also try to rescue him!

In other words, these two people who set the fire were most likely the Nanqi death warriors!

An Yunxi was horrified when she saw these two fearless people. They were indeed from the royal family

. Ling Fengxun waved his hand.

"Execute him."

Immediately, a guard came over and took the assassin away. The prince's face darkened and he looked up at Ling Fengxun.

"Uncle Xuan, you are in a hurry to execute the only witness. Are you guilty? Because you sent someone to assassinate me?"

Ling Fengxun sneered at the prince's question.

"If I want to take action against you, there are many ways to make you die silently."

When the prince heard this, he first showed a hint of fear in his eyes, but then he laughed.

"You admit it, right?"

His eyes were bloodshot.

Obviously, he was stimulated by many recent events. He

was about to go crazy. Seeing

him like this, An Yunxi immediately spoke up to defend Ling Fengxun.

"Your Highness, don't lie. These two people were not arranged by the prince. The prince knew that you were not in the East Palace, so why did he send people to set the fire and make such a big fuss?"

"Yes, how would I know why he did that?"

The prince was furious!

Originally, after his father passed away, all matters should have been handed over to him, the prince, but the queen mother's words took away the power he was about to get!

Now that he has no mother, the power to take charge of the six palaces has always been in the hands of the queen mother, and the queen mother's words are naturally counted.

He was in this deep palace, and although he was the crown prince, he had no help.

The prince felt extremely aggrieved.

"Yunxi, you are on Ling Fengxun's side, right? What's so good about him? He is so old, but he can't have children. Why did you marry him?"

Oh, this!

An Yunxi was speechless for a moment.

Whose baby is she carrying in her belly?

But this matter cannot be said openly. She has only been married to Ling Fengxun for three days. If she tells the prince that she is pregnant, it will not be good for her reputation to be pregnant before marriage.

Then all the efforts made by Ling Fengxun before will be in vain.

So, she has to keep it secret.

"Ahem, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Even though my prince cannot have children, it is better than your woman faking pregnancy. Could it be that Your Highness is also incapable, so An Ruxue resorted to this desperate measure? Tsk tsk, it's really difficult for her. She tried so hard to get pregnant with Your Highness's child, but in the end she can only take fake pregnancy pills!"

An Yunxi's voice was neither loud nor soft.

Everyone around heard it.

Some palace servants and guards lowered their heads, pretending not to hear, but their shoulders were shaking slightly.

It was too hard to hold back laughter.

The surroundings were in chaos, but the prince who heard these words had a buzzing sound in his ears.

Nothing is more pathetic than the person you love mocking you for being incompetent.
