Chapter 19: The Crown Prince Rises
The third prince Liu Fenghu is sitting in the hall of the mansion at the moment, there is no emotional fluctuation on his handsome face, only he knows how anxious his heart is, so since Li Feng left the mansion and went to the palace, he has been sitting here, he is waiting for a carrier pigeon, to be precise, he is waiting for the news of his father's poisoning death.
"Third prince, there is news from the palace." Before Xu Zhongbao's people arrived, an anxious voice reached the hall, and when he entered the door, he ran too fast and tripped over the not too high threshold of the hall.
Liu Fenghu still quietly took the note in Xu Zhongbao's hand, although his face was still unwavering, but his hands were already trembling.
"Xu Zhongbao, immediately recruit people and send someone to inform the general, just say that the heavenly energy of Yunhai Country has changed." Liu Fenghu said excitedly, excitement rippling around on that handsome face.
"Yes!" Xu Zhongbao's face also had his excitement, and the things that Xu Zhongbao thought about day and night seemed to be not far from him.
A moment later, a large number of people had gathered in front of the mansion of the third prince Liu Fenghu, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement. And the people in the capital of Yunhai Kingdom saw that a large number of well-trained soldiers suddenly appeared on the street, and they knew that there was another bloody storm in Yunhai Kingdom, so they ran home one after another, locking the doors and windows.
The originally bustling street with people became empty at this moment, and the third prince Liu Fenghu rode a high-headed horse to walk on this originally bustling street at this moment, full of spirit, with a happy smile on his face that he had never seen before, and the people who followed behind were also gearing up one by one, like a vicious wolf that had not foraged for food for a long time, and pounced on the palace like the jade building and golden palace of Yunhai Kingdom.
……
In the East Palace at this time, the crown prince Liu Fenghai was sitting upright in a wheelchair, with a thin figure, although his face was pale, his face was handsome and elegant.
"Prince, there is news from the palace of the lord of the country just now, the lord of the country has died, and the third prince is coming to the palace with heavy troops at this moment." It was an old man with a mustache who spoke, and there was no trace of panic in his tone, as if he was talking about something inconsequential.
"I see." The prince also said idly.
"Then should we go there early, after all, this place is the closest to the lord's bedroom, and if we go late, I'm afraid it will cause suspicion."
"It's too early to arouse suspicion, so wait, we'll wait a while and come back, don't forget, I'm a person with a crippled legs." Prince Liu Fenghai said with a smile.
"I see." The old man standing behind the prince quietly retreated.
……
The third prince Liu Fenghu entered the dormitory of his father Liu Zhongming without much fighting all the way, and after coming in, he deliberately put his hand on Liu Zhongming's pulse to test it, and after confirming that Liu Zhongming was no longer alive, he walked out of the dormitory directly to the palace of worship of the monarch and ministers, and sat on the position of the lord of the country that he had dreamed of.
Liu Fenghu, who is sitting in the position of the lord of the country, is very excited now, all his efforts have been rewarded at this moment, he is now the king of this Yunhai country, he can control everyone's life and death, and the first one to be dominated by him is Li Feng, because Li Feng touched his reverse scales, he absolutely does not allow anyone to blackmail him in front of him, not one, and Li Feng mentioned two, so Li Feng must die, he wants to watch Li Feng die, watch Li Feng be killed by every soldier in this hall, In this way, the hatred in his heart can be relieved.
And at this moment, Liu Fenghu must find a scapegoat, otherwise the first emperor will die, but he will not find the murderer who killed him for the first emperor, many courtiers will not obey him, and the people of Yunhai Kingdom will not obey him. Li Feng has become the best scapegoat in Liu Fenghu's mind at this moment.
"Someone, go and bring Li Feng up." Liu Fenghu said to the many courtiers and soldiers standing under His Royal Highness.
Soon, Li Feng was pressed into this hall by the guards.
"Li Feng, are you guilty?" Liu Fenghu's gloomy eyes looked at Li Feng, and at this moment, Liu Fenghu's purpose was to arouse everyone's anger.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, don't you know what the crime is?" Li Feng said lightly.
"You still dare to quibble, you trespassed into the prison, colluded with the alien Sima Cuo, and murdered my father in the name of sending the body elixir, and you don't know the crime!" Liu Fenghu said coldly.
"Trespassing into the prison and colluding with Sima Wrong? Didn't you tell me to go to the deepest part of the prison to find that Sima Wrong? Why, the third prince suffered from amnesia at a young age? Li Feng said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Li Feng was not surprised that Liu Fenghu bit him back.
"Nonsense, what do you have to do with me when you go to the prison...... However, since you said that I arranged for you to go, if you have evidence, you can show it to the courtiers? ”
Liu Fenghu thought of this early in the morning, Li Feng only went to the deepest part of the prison when he saw the words on the note, and only saw Sima Cuo, but what can a note say, not to mention that the words on the note are all ghostwritten by someone, and everything will not have anything to do with him.
"Okay, even if I break into the prison and see this Sima mistake, how can I prove that I hurt the lord of the country?"
"The body protection elixir was given by you, and my father fell to the ground and died after taking it, who else could it be if you didn't murder you!" Liu Fenghu said sharply, not waiting for Li Feng to continue to defend, "Come on, press this son down, just at the gate of this palace, I want the world to see what the murder of the lord of the country is." ”
"Slow!" A slightly soft voice came in from outside the main hall, and then I saw an old man with a beard pushing a young man in a wheelchair and slowly walked in.
"See the Prince!" The court hall sounded sparsely worshipped, it is no wonder, since the prince suddenly fell seriously ill many years ago and caused his legs to be disabled, he has become more and more unloved by the lord Liu Zhongming, and the courtiers also know that it is only a matter of time before the prince is deposed, so that many officials under the prince's door have gradually changed the court, but I didn't expect the sudden death of the lord Liu Zhongming, according to the law, the position of the lord of the country should be inherited by the prince Liu Fenghaike, but everyone does not want to have a lord in a wheelchair, He can only express his inner dissatisfaction in the voice of worship.
The crown prince Liu Fenghai is not annoyed by this, he has long been accustomed to the ridicule and contempt of these people for him in his heart, he has long learned how to bear all this, these people's opinions are not important to him at all, if he can't see this, he is not worthy of sitting in the east palace of this Yunhai country.
"Let him go." The crown prince Liu Fenghai was pushed next to Li Feng by the old man, although the guards were flustered, they still looked up at the third prince Liu Fenghu, Liu Fenghu nodded slightly, and the guards let go of Li Feng.
Liu Fenghu doesn't want to have too much conflict with the prince now, even if he wants the position of the lord of the country again, but it is best if he can fight without blood, although the prince does not have many people to support it now, but if he really wants to fight to the death with the prince, it will also have a great impact on the strength of Yunhai Kingdom, and then those fierce tigers in the eighteen counties of Qingyun Jiuzhou will not hesitate to tear Yunhai Kingdom to pieces.
"Third brother, your impatient temperament has not changed, convict him and let him defend himself, you can't let him die in vain. You're right? The prince whispered to Liu Fenghu, who was standing on the stage.
What Liu Fenghu didn't think was that the prince would actually stand up for Li Feng, but after thinking about it, he understood that this prince must be using Li Feng's matter to attack his prestige among the courtiers, if Li Feng can prove that the killing of the lord was instructed by him, then the courtiers must no longer support him so much, it seems that the prince still has some thoughts about the position of the lord of the country.
However, Liu Fenghu is very confident, he has never left any evidence in everything, Li Feng can't prove that the murder of the lord of the country was instigated by him Liu Fenghu, thinking of this, he said slowly to Li Feng who was standing under the stage: "Li Feng, I'll let you be a ghost!" ”
