Chapter 336 The eldest prince is dead
She saw that Sangge's pupils were dilated, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of horror.
The slippery liquid flowed out of his body. Ling Changning raised her hand and took a look, and her
eyes were full of blood. Especially in her right hand, there was a dagger, and one end of the dagger just pierced into the opponent's heart, and blood flowed out from the wound in his heart.
Ling Changning had never seen such a scene before.
The man who had just violently threatened her, not only became a corpse in the blink of an eye, but was also killed by her!
But she had clearly fainted!
Ling Changning's mind was blank, and her screams attracted the palace people outside.
The guards who accompanied Sangge to Beiling also ran in from the door one after another.
As for why they didn't come in before, it was naturally because Sangge had ordered that no matter what kind of sound the woman made, they should not come in to disturb him.
But this time, Ling Changning's voice really sounded a little wrong.
In a blink of an eye, many people had come into the hall. When the guards of Mobei saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned in shock.
"Grand Prince!"
Several people rushed over and immediately helped the Grand Prince of Mobei, Sangge, up from the ground.
But the body was already dead, without a trace of breath.
The guards looked grim, "Go and inform Lord Tana."
Someone ran out, and a moment later, a middle-aged man called Lord Tana came in from outside the palace.
He was the chief of the envoys who accompanied the eldest prince to visit Beiling, and he was also a general under the King of Mobei.
After the death of the eldest prince, he was now the one in charge of Mobei.
His face was extremely gloomy, and his light brown eyes were a little cold. There was a scar on his face, which made him look extremely fierce.
"Did she kill the eldest prince?"
"Yes, this is what I saw when I came in. She killed the eldest prince with a dagger!"
After hearing this, General Tana strode to Ling Changning, grabbed her collar, and forcefully lifted her up from the ground.
"You are so brave that you dared to kill Wang Chu of Mobei. But the emperor of Beiling asked you to do this?"
Ling Changning was already dumbfounded and shook her head desperately.
"It's not me. I can't beat him at all. I fainted at that time."
However, the people around him didn't believe this at all.
General Tana grabbed Ling Changning's arm and dragged her out of the palace like a dead dog.
A palace maid had already run out to inform Ling Changyue.
"Your Majesty, something big has happened. Prince Mobei is dead!"
Just this one sentence made the little emperor, who was about to rest, sit up from the bed.
"I'll be there now!"
The little emperor immediately put on his clothes, strode out of the gate of Yangxin Palace without hesitation, and summoned some guards to go to the palace where Prince Mobei lived.
As night fell, the palace was like a quiet painting. The bright moon was in the sky, casting a silver glow, and the glazed tiles of the palace were gleaming with a mysterious light.
The palace lights were flickering, and the dim light illuminated the long and deep corridors.
At the door of the bedroom where the Great Prince of Mobei was temporarily staying, Ling Changning was thrown to the ground in a mess with her hair disheveled. A knife with a cold glow was directly placed on her neck.
Next to her, there was a corpse.
The body of the Great Prince of Mobei, Sangge, was already cold, and a white cloth was covering his body, covering his face that was still open after death.
Ling Changyue hurried to the vicinity, and saw someone lighting a lantern to illuminate the darkness, allowing Ling Changyue to see Ling Changning's face clearly.
Tana's face was extremely cold, and his voice was like crying blood: "Your Majesty, I, Mobei, have been subordinate to Beiling for many years, and every year I have sent a large number of furs and horses to you, the late Emperor Beiling. Now, I, the prince of Mobei, came to Beiling to pay homage, but I died in the palace less than a day after arriving. Please give me an explanation, Your Majesty!"
The other party's words were aggressive, leaving Ling Changyue stunned.
He naturally saw the body of Sangge next to him.
Not long ago, the eldest prince of Mobei, who was standing in front of him, died on the spot, and the murderer was his sister, Ling Changning!
Ling Changning was terrified to the extreme. She raised her head and looked at Ling Changyue and screamed: "Royal brother, save me, I didn't kill him. I don't know how. When I fainted and woke up, he was already dead. It wasn't Changning's hand!"
Tana threw a dagger in front of Ling Changyue.
The guards beside Ling Changyue subconsciously blocked in front of the emperor.
Tana said in a sharp voice: "This is the weapon that Ling Changning used to assassinate our crown prince. Many people saw it with their own eyes. Even her hands were stained with the blood of our eldest prince. There is evidence from both people and things. What else can the emperor say?"
Ling Changyue's eyes trembled slightly, and his face suddenly turned pale.
The scene was tense, and those people in Mobei had even grasped the long knives at their waists.
Ling Changyue pursed his lips, glanced at Ling Changning, and said in a low voice: "Even so, there is no way to say that she killed the person."
"You are making excuses!"
Tana was angry at Ling Changyue's words: "There are still her fingerprints on the dagger. Moreover, not long ago, your sister sued the eldest prince in front of the emperor, which shows that she has long been dissatisfied with the eldest prince and intended to leave. Now that she failed to leave, she was angry and humiliated. When she was being affectionate with the eldest prince, she took advantage of the prince's unpreparedness to assassinate him. Was it the emperor's order? Otherwise, she would not dare to do this even if she had the courage!"
Ling Changyue took a deep breath.
His chest rose and fell violently.
Facing the opponent's accusations one by one, he felt like he was being roasted on a fire.
If he answered wrongly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ling Changyue hesitated for a moment.
"How could I assassinate your eldest prince if it wasn't my order? Doing so would completely destroy the peace between the two countries."
Upon hearing this, Tana sneered. This little emperor was absolutely immature.
Even his words were so weak and gullible. It
was obvious at first glance that he was a wimp with no confidence or ability.
Such an emperor was best dealt with.
"That's what you said, but the fact is that the prince of Mobei died at the hands of the eldest princess of Beiling Kingdom and died in the Beiling Palace. If you don't give us an explanation, we can't go back and explain."
At this moment, Tana's voice was already full of threats.
Ling Changning's pupils shrank and he stared at the other person's face.
"What explanation should I give you?"
"It's very simple,"
Tana suggested kindly.
"As long as we give the five cities north of Beifeng City to Mobei, our king will see Beiling's sincerity and will naturally stop pursuing the matter."
However, just as the other party finished speaking, a cold and magnetic voice suddenly came from not far away: "Take them all!"
