The fire burned quickly.
The guards searched for a long time but couldn't find Prince Chenyang. No one saw Prince Chenyang leave the tent, so everyone guessed something.
The emperor no longer pretended to be deceiving himself. He looked at the tent, which was almost out of light, and said, "Go inside and search. If they are alive, I want to see them. If they are dead, I want to see their bodies."
At the emperor's command, the guards went to the tent to put out the fire and search. They soon found several bodies in the burnt ruins. One of the bodies looked very much like Prince Chenyang.
He was burned alive while standing.
Everyone could see the prince's body at a glance. The emperor sighed and said, "Confirm the identity. It should not be Prince Chenyang."
In fact, everyone knows that.
They just don't dare to say it.
They didn't know what the prince had been through, but no one was stupid enough to stand there and not run away even when the fire was burning.
If there is, something must have happened.
For example, Prince Chenyang.
The emperor was present, so even if they had doubts, they didn't dare say anything.
Soon, the people who followed Prince Chenyang recognized at a glance that it was their master who was burned to death. They collapsed and knelt in despair in front of the burnt corpse. Now that their master was dead, was there any way for them to survive?
If King Chenyang were to pursue the matter, they would all be buried with him.
The emperor asked them as they cried, "Are you sure this is the prince?"
One of them nodded in affirmation and said, "Your Majesty, please look at the turquoise ring on the corpse's left hand. It is exactly the same as the one worn by the Crown Prince. It was a gift from the Crown Prince's wife. The Crown Prince loves it very much and never takes it off."
The emperor closed his eyes pretending to be heavy-hearted: "What a pity!"
The people of Prince Chenyang lowered their heads and pleaded, "The prince's death is unclear. I hope the emperor will investigate."
The emperor snorted in his heart, what are you investigating? Are you investigating myself?
These people were loyal and wanted to seek justice for their master, but unfortunately they were unlucky and followed the wrong master. If Prince Chenyang had not been ambitious, plotting to usurp the throne, and intending to kill the king, they would not have ended up being burned to death.
Looking at the hideous face of the corpse, he opened his mouth to scream, but no sound came out.
When they died, they all looked like they were begging for help. The emperor snorted in his heart: "The dead cannot be resurrected. Keep it well and wait for King Chenyang to come and deal with it."
Eunuch Fu and the others nodded.
Soon, the prince's body was carried out and covered with a white cloth to avoid scaring people.
After all, a charred corpse is really scary.
Yan Bao was not allowed to take another look, and his eyes were covered by Shen Shoufu: “Yan Bao, don’t look, you will have a nightmare.”
Yan Bao curled his lips: [Dad, you underestimate your daughter. I'm very brave!]
Shen Shoufu: Be good, your father thinks you are afraid.
On the emperor's side, his expression was indifferent. He watched from a distance as Prince Chenyang was supported and walked over. The emperor thought of something and looked at Chief Assistant Shen.
Shen Shoufu understood immediately, and he said to Yan Bao: "Yan Bao, stay close to daddy and calm him down."
[I didn't expect my stickers could calm me down, how come I didn't know that?] Yan Bao complained in his heart, but he didn't hesitate. He not only kissed the left cheek, but also the right cheek and forehead.
The corner of Shen Shoufu's mouth rose, looking at Yan Bao who was disgusted in his heart but whose actions were not ambiguous at all.
Under the emperor’s urging gaze, Shen Shoufu stretched out his hand.
The emperor pretended to use Shen Shoufu’s strength and stood up while holding Shen Shoufu’s hand.
The electric current passed by, and the emperor used his mind reading ability again. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the panicked King Chenyang. He originally wanted to comfort him with a few words, but King Chenyang didn't even have the emperor in his eyes. His eyes were fixed on the corpse covered with white cloth on the ground.
Others didn't know, but the emperor could clearly hear the excitement, agitation, and ecstasy in Prince Chenyang's heart at this moment: [Hahaha, dead, finally dead!]
[The plan was a success. The dog emperor is finally dead. This world belongs to me.]
As Prince Chenyang knelt, he hypocritically said in his heart, "Brother, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame that position for being so alluring. You're already old, so what if you let me sit there for a few more years?"
[If you didn't want to reduce the power of the feudal lords, I wouldn't be so impatient to take action.]
[Rest in peace, my royal brother. I will protect the kingdom of Dajin well.] King Chenyang was shaking with excitement. Those who didn't know him would think he was heartbroken, but only he knew how happy he was.
Especially from Eunuch Fu's expression, he knew that the emperor had passed away without even needing to confirm it.
The edict he prepared could come in handy.
King Chenyang almost laughed out loud at the thought of ascending the throne and becoming the eighth emperor of Dajin.
The howling in his mouth became even more vigorous.
What King Chenyang didn't expect was that the happier and more ecstatic he was now, the more desperate he would be later.
It wasn't until King Chenyang saw the familiar face in front of him, unharmed, and even staring at his emperor with a subtle look, that King Chenyang was dumbfounded: "Emperor... Why is my brother here?"
"Is my royal brother okay?"
King Chenyang looked at the blackened turquoise ring on his burnt finger and asked with trembling lips, "He... who is he talking about?"
Upon seeing the ring, King Chenyang's heart sank for a moment, but he then comforted himself: "Don't worry, even if one of the crown princes dies, I still have several sons. The second one is even better than the eldest."
[But, he is my first son, how could he be burned to death? ]
[How could he be burned to death? It was the dog emperor who should have died.]
Something must have happened. It must be like this, otherwise how could the arsonist be burned to death?
King Chenyang was thinking a lot.
The emperor was in a good mood after hearing this. When faced with Chenyang Wang De's questioning, the emperor patted him on the shoulder hypocritically and said, "I didn't expect the prince's death. King Chenyang, please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be resurrected. You must live well."
