Chapter 115 The Death of Princess Huiyun
As he spoke, Xie Lixing looked towards the emperor.
His eyes seemed to say: Your Majesty, are you going to continue? I have countless stories of you protecting your daughter.
The emperor didn't expect that the childhood he tried to make Xie Lixing recall was actually Xie Lixing's history of revenge.
The emperor doesn't remember.
The two times that he could barely remember, Huiyun was indeed the one who made things worse, causing Xie Lixing to be punished by him.
Thinking about it, the emperor no longer wanted to let Xie Lixing recall the past, but changed the subject, "Hey, you also know that Huiyun has liked you since childhood. Please let her go for the sake of their childhood relationship."
"Your Majesty, the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people when he breaks the law."
It's impossible to get him to let go.
The emperor also knew that Xie Lixing would not agree to let Huiyun go, but his goal was not to let Huiyun go, but to delay Xie Lixing's actions and prevent him from murdering Huiyun.
As long as Xie Lixing doesn't give orders, Huiyun's life safety can be guaranteed.
Xie Lixing also knew what the emperor was thinking. He did not resist, but waited here according to the old emperor's ideas.
10:00 AM
"Your Majesty, this is bad!"
The eunuch who followed the emperor rushed into the imperial study at this time, not caring about Xie Lixing's presence, and hurried to the emperor to tell him a piece of news -
"Princess Huiyun was murdered!"
The thing in the emperor's hand fell to the ground with a bang.
He turned to look at his eunuch in disbelief, then turned to look at Xie Lixing, "Did you do it?" The emperor's voice sounded very angry, and the question made Xie Lixing frown.
He shrugged innocently.
"Your Majesty, I was brought here as soon as the court was over. Do you think I have time to do this?"
"You know what I'm talking about!"
"Your Majesty, your expression is so grim, isn't it easy to guess?"
The two had a back-and-forth conversation, and in the end, the emperor was persuaded by Xie Lixing. He really felt that Xie Lixing did not have time to make arrangements.
Because the Huiyun he sent out of the city this time was not Huiyun at all.
Huiyun still stayed in the palace.
So, she was assassinated in the palace, which made the emperor's anger reach its peak!
"Investigate! Go and investigate for me. I want to see who is plotting to murder my daughter!" The angry emperor ordered Xie Lixing.
He wanted to see who was plotting against his daughter!
He wants to tear the other party into pieces!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xie Lixing responded without any hesitation.
The emperor stared at Xie Lixing for a long while before waving his hand impatiently to let Xie Lixing go.
After the thank you ceremony, the emperor asked the eunuch beside him with a cold glint in his eyes, "Did you observe anything? How many parties were involved in Huiyun's incident this time?"
The eunuch looked at His Majesty's expression and then spoke.
"There are three groups of people in total, similar to your prediction, except... there are no people from the Regent among them."
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that.
Your Majesty's plan is easy to see through, and the Regent should not be completely unprepared.
Why didn't you take action?
"Oh, he's lucky!"
The father-in-law lowered his eyes to look at the ground and said nothing more.
In the Regent's Palace, Yueli learned through the barrage that Huiyun died in the palace and was killed by her brothers and sisters.
I felt dissatisfied and sighed inwardly.
The most important thing is that the barrage said that it was the old emperor who pushed her out personally to lure Xie Lixing into taking action.
Yukari touched her chest after surviving the disaster.
Fortunately, fortunately! If the barrage hadn't suddenly reminded her yesterday and she hadn't stopped Xie Lixing, Huiyun's death today would have fallen on Xie Lixing's head!
The dog emperor is now planning to kill Xie Lixing!
When the situation was turbulent, Xie Lixing was needed to act as a cruel official. Now that the situation is stable, Xie Lixing should be killed?
She doesn't allow it!
When Xie Lixing came back, he saw Yueli lying in his study, reading government documents.
Seeing him come back, she put down the secret letter in her hand.
"Husband, come quickly!" She waved at him, "Do you think it's appropriate for the prince to go here to transport grain?"
Xie Lixing looked at Yueli in confusion.
Not understanding why Yueli suddenly attacked the prince, "There is a beauty here who looks very similar to me. At first glance, we look like sisters." Yueli handed the secret letter that she had written and secretly slipped in to Xie Lixing.
If Xie Lixing hadn't been able to recognize the handwriting written by Yueli's left hand, he would have been fooled by her.
He suppressed the smile in his heart.
"Really... Is this possible?"
Xie Lixing looked at Yueli with difficulty.
"Sure." The prince was looking for the other party, and he would rush over as soon as he heard the news about the other party.
Of course, the other party was not really there, but Yue Li was planning to send the prince away and let Xie Lixing confront the fourth prince.
So that the prince won’t reap the benefits from behind.
As Yueli spoke, she was observing Xie Lixing's expression.
She was afraid that Xie Lixing wouldn't believe her nonsense.
What is the reason for Yueli to do this?
[You don't know this. The general there is a subordinate of General Cheng, and he doesn't have a good impression of the prince. I guess Yueli wants to use him to make the prince lose face.]
[Hasn't the Crown Prince been keeping an eye on her lately? Perhaps she wants him to stay away from the capital and stop staring at her?]
[I thought I was going to get a sandwich, but this is it?]
[The prince is no match for Xie Lixing. Your sandwich is destined to be just a fantasy!]
Yueli didn't quite understand what they meant by "sandwich", but based on her understanding of them, it probably wasn't a good word.
She asked the Crown Prince to go here because the Fourth Prince was preparing to apply to the Emperor for permission to transport grain here.
Huiyun's death was closely related to the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince. She wanted to see if both of them wanted to recruit General Cheng's men.
"By the way, does the Crown Prince know that the Fourth Prince's man is getting engaged to General Cheng's granddaughter?"
"How did the princess know?"
"Don't worry about it. I have my own channels."
Secret guard: “…” Princess, this is what you promised the Sixth and Seventh Princes, right?
They actually believed the princess's lies, saying that if the sky fell, she would hold it up...
That's how she held it up.
"Sixth and Seventh?"
"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about."
Yueli followed Xie Lixing and laughed.
Xie Lixing did not expose Chuan Li. She inquired about this matter in order to get closer to him and understand him.
Just turn a blind eye.
"It's late, Princess, please go to bed early." As dawn was approaching, she was still waiting for him in the study. Xie Lixing was so touched.
Little did he know that Yueli came to his study today to secretly read his diary.
See if his album has been updated recently.
Not to mention, his album has been updated quite a lot recently, but they are all restricted pictures, especially some poses and inner descriptions, which make her feel dirty.
After reading it, Yueli put the scroll back to its original place and pretended to share Xie Lixing's worries while Xie Lixing was still here.
*
The news of Princess Huiyun's death spread the next day, drawing cheers from the people.
Everyone felt that if Huiyun died, their suffering would be less.
Otherwise, as soon as Huiyun went out on the street, they would not dare to go out, for fear of meeting Princess Huiyun and losing their lives.
Everyone was guessing which hero had killed her.
Xie Lixing was sitting in the Dali Temple, looking at the Dali Temple Minister and asking him, "Dali Temple Minister, what did the coroner say?"
The murder of the princess in the palace was a serious matter. When the palace was broken into by thieves, the guards would be punished.
"The coroner is performing an autopsy. Please wait, Your Highness."
The Dali Temple Minister did not dare to offend Xie Lixing and spoke respectfully.
He was secretly anxious, wondering why the coroner hadn't finished the autopsy yet so that he could get rid of this plague god!
Xie Lixing knew that all the court officials kept their distance from him.
He sat in the first seat with a smile on his face, patiently waiting for the coroner's autopsy results.
When the coroner came out after finishing the autopsy, he saw their Dali Temple Minister sitting on a chair with sweat all over his head.
"Reporting to the prince, sir, the princess died from a hidden weapon and silver needle."
As the coroner spoke, he showed the cloth in his hand to Xie Lixing and the Dali Temple Minister, asking them to see it clearly.
Seeing the silver needle, the Dali Temple Minister's brows knitted together, "Can silver needles be used as hidden weapons?"
It's ridiculous!
