Chapter 458: Suspicion

Something went wrong?

Leo was shocked, he had just been separated from Julian for less than a minute, why did something happen? So he took Bela's hand and ran towards the terrace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Leo arrived, the terrace was already full of people, and Leo squeezed into it, finding Julian on the ground, with a shattered goblet beside him.

To Leo's surprise, Julian's face was colored.

The face of the second prince is completely different from ordinary people at this moment, and the whole face shows a faint blue, which looks very weird.

Leo almost immediately remembered what Julian had just said to him.

"The name of this wine is Azur Fantasy, and it is a new wine just produced by Bill Winery, the first winery in the mainland, and I only managed to get a few bottles with great difficulty."

Wine is poisonous!

Leo's face immediately turned ugly, because not only Julian, but even Leo had just taken a sip of his cup of blue fantasy.

Could it be that Leo himself was poisoned?

At this moment, the crowd of onlookers was suddenly rudely squeezed out of a path, and several burly guards appeared in front of everyone with Prime Minister Paul.

Prime Minister Paul only glanced down at Julian and immediately noticed that something was wrong, and shouted to several subordinates beside him: "Take Your Highness out quickly, and by the way, bring me the best doctor!" ”

The guards lifted Julian to the ground and hurried out of the banquet hall.

Prime Minister Paul raised his head and asked in a loud voice to the spectators, "Everyone, has anyone just found out that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has ever talked to others?" ”

Obviously, Prime Minister Paul intends to find out who did the work on the second prince, and it is undoubtedly the easiest and easiest way to think of starting with the person in contact.

Leo took a deep breath and stood up, "I." ”

Even if Leo doesn't stand up now, he will be identified later, after all, Leo and Julian were not the only ones on the terrace at that time, so it is better to take the initiative so as not to be perceived as weak-hearted.

The moment he knew that Julian was poisoned, Leo knew that he was in big trouble, and if he didn't handle it well, he would probably be charged with poisoning the second prince.

So for the sake of his innocence, Leo must take the initiative to stand up and clarify everything.

Countless eyes instantly locked on Leo's body.

"You?" Prime Minister Paul's eyes were equally staring at Leo for a moment, and he couldn't tell whether it was anger or surprise, or both.

"That's right." Leo nodded, "I just had a conversation with the second prince, and when I returned to the hall, I heard someone shouting that something had happened to him. ”

Prime Minister Paul's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, "He is poisoned, do you know?" ”

"Of course I do." Leo said, "And I also know that the poison was mixed in the wine and drunk by him." ”

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"How do you know the poison is in the wine?" Prime Minister Paul asked.

"Because before he was poisoned, he once drank a wine called 'Blue Fantasy' with me, and everyone saw that there was a very strange blue color on the face of His Royal Highness the Second Prince just now."

"What kind of wine did you drink with him?"

"Yes."

"Then why aren't you poisoned?"

This question made Leo pause, in fact, Leo really wanted to know the answer to this question, but he didn't know.

So Leo could only tell the truth: "I don't know either." ”

Suddenly, someone shouted in the crowd of onlookers: "Because you are the murderer who poisoned you!" ”

The crowd grew louder and louder, and most of them turned their suspicious eyes on Leo.

"Don't talk nonsense, Leo, he's not that kind of person!" At this moment, a beautiful figure stood by Leo's side and loudly supported Leo.

If there was one person in the banquet hall at this time who was completely convinced of Leo's innocence, then that person was of course Bela.

Leo glanced at the lover beside him, his heart warmed slightly, and he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, when suddenly someone from the crowd said: "Just now he killed a subordinate of the Prime Minister at the gate, maybe he came to make trouble today, and the murder of the second prince must also be in his plan!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it directly pushed the suspicion to the peak, and the crowd of onlookers began to become agitated, and even some people had begun to ask the guards to take Leo down directly.

Leo couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly felt that it would be good if he and Julian were poisoned together.

At this moment, Prime Minister Paul spoke: "Your Excellency, Leo, do you have anything to say?" ”

Leo said very seriously: "I drank the wine with him, but the poison was definitely not made by me." I'm not stupid, so why should I leave such an obvious flaw for others to see? This is obviously someone else's frame-up! ”

Leo really wanted to disrupt the banquet, but it was definitely not by poisoning the second prince to achieve his goal.

After all, in Leo's opinion, Julian and himself are innocent at all, and even helped Leo in the first conflict between Leo and Emmanuel.

So Leo felt that he had no reason to poison at all, and in fact Leo did not poison him.

But in the eyes of Prime Minister Paul, things are a different story.

In order for this dinner to be held smoothly, Prime Minister Paul secretly arranged for many loyal masters in the mansion, who were able to protect the security and know the guests' every move, and secondly, they might be able to eavesdrop on some information.

Judging from the information fed back by these people, when he was at the gate, Leo was obviously deliberately provoking Roger, and the purpose seemed to be looking for trouble.

In addition, in the conversation between Leo and Roger later, there were originally two masters hiding near the bushes where they were talking, but these two were quietly knocked unconscious at some point, and they didn't hear a word of Leo and Roger's conversation at all.

The most important thing is that this conversation between Julian and Leo did not have any contact with Prime Minister Paul beforehand.

In other words, Prime Minister Paul had no idea why Julian was talking to Leo or what he was talking to Leo.

Even though he has been in politics for decades, the Prime Minister still finds the matter ahead of him quite tricky.

Scratch? Or don't catch?

There is no doubt that if Leo is the one who poisoned him, then it is naturally reasonable to arrest Leo, even the Pope of Enhill and the church have nothing to say.

And when Leo was at the gate just now, he slapped the Prime Minister in the face once, and it is impossible to say that the Prime Minister does not hold grudges, and now is a good opportunity for revenge.

But if Leo wasn't the one who poisoned him, then the consequences of arresting him would be a big problem.

Do you know that Leo's identity is a papal envoy, and a papal envoy has been framed and even arrested in prison? It's definitely not something that can be ended with an apology.

And if this affects the upcoming emperor election meeting, wouldn't it be even more than worth the loss?

Prime Minister Paul hesitated.
