Chapter 14: The Nine Kings Are Wronged
Feng Lanyu was stunned in place, she originally thought that Mu Xuanyi wanted to frame the prince with a bitter trick, but she didn't expect that the answer given by Mu Xuanyi was the opposite.
She didn't know why she believed him, but seeing that his tone was categorical and his face was unquestionable, she still believed it.
"It seems that the one who should be wronged the most is His Highness." Feng Lanyu said.
"When the king of Japan was inexplicably poisoned at the banquet in the prince's mansion, the king was indeed in a coma for a few days, but a few days ago, the king had regained his senses, as you said, the person who poisoned the poison had good intentions, and he controlled the effect of the poison of the arsenic leaves, so that the king was not enough to kill at all. Those who believe in this king naturally think that this king Ji people have their own natural appearance, but they will not die in great calamity, and those who do not believe in this king naturally feel that it is this king who framed the prince with a bitter trick, after all, the prince will never poison his own banquet, isn't it harming others and himself......"
Speaking of this, Mu Xuanyi frowned slightly, "No matter what others think, it's not the point. You should know that it is enough for only one person in the whole kingdom of the eastern border to believe in this king. β
"Emperor Donglin." Feng Lanyu said.
"But he never trusted the king." Mu Xuanyi's pupils were deep, and his fists couldn't help clenching.
"How is this possible? Your Majesty, isn't he the most favored Highness? Feng Lanyu couldn't help but speak.
Mu Xuanyi sneered, "You said it all, he is just a favorite king." β
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Feng Lanyu was puzzled.
Mu Xuanyi didn't answer, looked at her with his hands behind his back, and sneered self-deprecatingly, "This king doesn't know how much he spoils this king, this king is highly poisonous, and he just simply locked up the prince for a few days, that's all." β
Feng Lanyu frowned slightly, "Your Highness's poisoning has alarmed the entire Imperial Hospital, Your Majesty may have learned from the imperial doctors that although Your Highness has the poison of arsenic leaves in her body, it is not enough to be fatal, so Your Majesty will inevitably have suspicions." After all, the poison of this arsenic leaf is highly poisonous, and His Highness is just unconscious, which naturally arouses suspicion. If His Highness doesn't mention it, I also think it's His Highness's doing. β
Speaking of this, Feng Lanyu was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly thought of something, and asked strangely: "Your Highness has woken up a few days ago, why do you still pretend to be dizzy?" β
"I only blame this king for being too naΓ―ve, I thought that this king would continue to be unconscious, he would always give this king an explanation, where did I ever think that he would not punish the prince at all. This king was angry for a while, so he deliberately did not wake up until he was exposed by you. Mu Xuanyi shook his head helplessly, as if he felt that his decision was too stupid.
"Oh." Feng Lanyu lowered her head.
"Just now, this king heard Xian Feng say that the prince walked out of Dali Temple safely and soundly." The corners of Mu Xuanyi's mouth hooked up into a sneer.
"Your Majesty still believes in the crown prince." Feng Lanyu frowned.
"Yes, he can't trust this king after all." Mu Xuanyi's tone seemed to be a little sad, with a slight hint of helplessness.
"What about the doctors who once claimed to have healed His Highness?" Feng Lanyu suddenly thought of something, and asked cautiously with the boldness.
"The entire Donglin Kingdom is rumoring that the king is ruthless, and when it doesn't go his way, he shouts and kills others. If you hear rumors that this king killed those quacks, it should not be surprising. Mu Xuanyi said.
Feng Lanyu stared at him with beads in her eyes.
"Shouldn't they be killed?" Mu Xuanyi asked rhetorically.
