Chapter 325: Who Will Frame You?
Seeing Nangong Yao follow the guard out of the main hall, Shen Changge hooked his lips slightly, evoking an imperceptible sneer, and there was a touch of imperative in his eyes.
Then, as if she didn't know what to do, she withdrew her gaze and watched the dancers dance as she drank her tea.
It wasn't until the banquet was about to end that someone finally found out that Nangong Yao and Shen Qingyang were not there.
Shen De also noticed it and asked, "Why hasn't Prince Nangong come back yet?" But drunk? ”
Nangong Yu hesitated a little, not knowing whether to tell Shen Qingyang about inviting Nangong Yao.
If it is said, it will not be good to arouse the suspicion of the emperor.
So she swallowed back the words that came to her lips and sat down in silence.
Shen De saw that no one spoke, so he said, "Come on, go out and see where the prince of Nangong is?" If the prince of Nangong is drunk, he will send the prince of Nangong back to rest. ”
"Yes."
The person who was sent to find Nangong Yao had just walked to the door of the main hall when he saw a eunuch running in a hurry outside.
The eunuch rushed in in with a panicked expression, ignoring etiquette, stumbling forward, kneeling down with a thud, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, something has happened!" ”
"What's the point of such a panic?" Shen De glared at the eunuch in displeasure and asked, "What happened?" ”
"Prince Nangong...... Prince Nangong ......"
"Say! Prince Nangong, what's wrong with him? Shen De's heart suddenly chuckled, and a bad premonition surged up.
"The prince of Nangong is gone."
"What?!"
Shen Deteng stood up, his face was full of disbelief, and his lips trembled slightly.
This good person, how can he say that if he is gone, he will be gone?
Moreover, it happened in the palace of his Eastern Wu Kingdom!
Nangong Yu was even more shocked and almost fainted, his face full of shock and sadness.
I saw her walk quickly to the eunuch and ask urgently, "What happened?" How could something happen to my royal brother? ”
"Minions...... The slave didn't dare to say...... "The eunuch lowered his head, and he was almost prostrate on the ground, looking trembling and scared to the extreme.
"If I tell you to say it, you can say it! What the hell is wrong with my royal brother?! Nangong Yu asked angrily.
"Yes...... His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. ”
The eunuch's words made everyone who was already shocked even more stunned, and they all looked at him in disbelief, obviously ignoring the relationship.
"It turned out to be him!" Nangong Yu was not only shocked, but also angry, "Did he call the imperial brother out just to deal with the imperial brother?" How can this man be so vicious! ”
also said that he would ask the royal brother to talk about it, but as a result, he asked for the life of the imperial brother!
Nangong Yu was angry, and her hands hanging down her side were clenched to death, but she still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
"Where is my royal brother now? Take me there now! ”
"Yes."
The eunuch answered, and hurriedly took Nangong Yu to the outside of the main hall.
And the others, under the leadership of Shen De, also left their seats together.
Shen Changge and Shen Yiqing will not miss this good show, and they also followed.
It's just that Shen Changge's body is still relatively weak, so he can only follow the last step of the team slowly.
The army came to a pavilion not far from the main hall.
Before he approached the pavilion, Nangong Yu saw Shen Qingyang, holding a blood-stained dagger in his hand, standing in the pavilion with a panicked expression.
And in front of him, Nangong Yao was lying on the ground covered in blood, not moving, and the dazzling bright red blood kept gushing out from the blood hole in his chest.
"Brother Huang!"
Nangong Yu ran up in a panic, knelt beside Nangong Yao with a plop, hugged him, and probed his breath with trembling fingers.
There was no breathing, no pulse.
Nope.
The royal brother is really gone.
"Brother Huang!" Nangong Yu let out a sad cry of pain, hugged Nangong Yao tightly and did not let go, anyone who saw it would feel the same way.
Shen Qingyang, on the other hand, took two steps back in a panic, his face full of horror.
He turned around and wanted to escape, but saw that Shen De had already come to the pavilion with everyone, and he had no way to escape.
"Four Princes!" Shen De caught a glimpse of the dagger in his hand, and there were still bright red blood stains on it, which kept dripping down, "You...... What have you done!? ”
Shen Qingyang was frightened by his angry reprimand, and was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses, threw away the dagger, and shook his head vigorously.
"Father, please listen to Erchen's explanation, this is none of Erchen's business, Erchen didn't kill the prince of Nangong! Father, please be aware of it! ”
"You didn't kill it, so how did my imperial brother die?" Without waiting for Shen De to speak, Nangong Yu asked angrily, "Obviously, you sent someone to invite my imperial brother here, but you still dare to quibble?" What about the murder weapon in your hand? Why is there no one else here, just you?! ”
Facing Nangong Yu's questioning, Shen Qingyang was speechless for a while, only feeling that his brain was drowsy, and he couldn't figure out his thoughts.
He tried to keep himself calm, and said urgently: "Father, the son is framed!" After Erchen left the banquet, he was stunned, and when he woke up, he found that he was here, and the prince of Nangong was dead! ”
"Framed? Who will frame you? Nangong Yu retorted again, "Tell me, who will use my imperial brother's life to frame you?!" ”
"I ......," Shen Qingyang said.
Although he knew very well that he was indeed framed, the situation in front of him was too unfavorable for him, the murder weapon was in his hand, and Nangong Yao also happened to die in front of him.
He didn't even have a chance to defend himself!
"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Xu Wei, who was following Shen De, suddenly spoke, "Weichen thinks that the four princes may really be framed, what reason do the four princes have to kill the prince of Nangong?" And it's still in this place. Isn't this a clear attempt to undermine diplomatic relations between the two countries? How could the four princes be so ignorant? ”
"The prime minister is the uncle of the four princes, and he will help the four princes speak." Shen Yiqing, who has been watching the play silently, said loudly, "This king thinks that it is better for the prime minister not to interfere in this matter, so as not to be unfair." ”
"Lord Wang......" Xu Wei wanted to refute, but when he met Shen Yiqing's fierce gaze, he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
Although he is the prime minister, he is still a little shorter in front of this regent.
No one in the Eastern Wu Kingdom knows that the regent is in power, and no one dares to provoke him.
Even the regent said so, where did he still have a part in meddling.
However, the fourth prince is his own nephew, do you want him to watch the fourth prince being framed like this?
What's more, he also pinned his hopes on the four princes to replace the crown prince in the future and become the Ninety-Five!
However, at the moment, everything is too unfavorable for the four princes.
This time, the four princes are only afraid that they will be more auspicious.
