There was an instant silence in the main hall.

Everyone's eyes were on the Emperor and the guards in front of the palace who came in to report the matter.

The captured general of the enemy army was assassinated not long after he was escorted away?

Who will kill him! Who would dare to kill him!

The emperor finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, bring the eldest prince in, I want to ask him personally to see how he killed the enemy bravely!" The last sentence was obviously ironic, and the queen was sitting on pins and needles on one side, and her palms were full of cold sweat.

She was afraid that the enemy general would recruit something related to her son in the future, so she secretly sent a small chamberlain to find out the news, but she didn't expect that the news had not come back yet, and her son had an accident over there.

The crowd had waited for about half the time for tea, and the prince was brought in.

The hall was surprisingly quiet, and everyone stared nervously at this once invincible prince.

The crown prince seemed to be a little flustered, walked to the emperor and knelt down with a puff, and said: "The guilty minister knocks on the father and the queen." ”

The emperor sneered, "I never knew that my emperor was so heroic, even the enemy generals of Nanze Kingdom were not afraid. ”

"Father...... The son was wronged. The crown prince stepped forward on his knees and said in a panic, "The son has always obeyed his father's orders, and has never left the Jingsi Hall for half a step!" ”

The emperor laughed angrily, "In this case, the enemy general committed suicide, or did those palace guards collectively slander you?" ”

"Yes, yes...... It's just that they are slandering the emperor, and the emperor really didn't do anything! ”

The queen stared at the emperor's face cautiously, and said, "The emperor has been timid since he was a child, and his martial arts are weak, how could he assassinate the enemy general with his own hands, those guards must have made a mistake." ”

The emperor glanced at the empress and said coldly: "Who was in charge of escorting the enemy generals just now, stand up." ”

As soon as the emperor's words fell, three people walked out of the guards in front of the hall on one side, and they all arched their hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is your subordinates who are in charge." ”

The queen was a little stunned when she saw it, if there was one person, she could still come up with an idea and push everything on that person, but now how could there be three people.

"You are so bold, you dare to frame the eldest prince when something happens, aren't you afraid that you will lose your head after the matter is revealed!" The queen shouted.

"Your Majesty, the queen's mother, subordinates and others saw with their own eyes that the eldest prince was holding a sharp blade and stabbed the throat of the enemy general, this is the sharp weapon used by the eldest prince at that time, please take a look at it."

The three men were undaunted, and one of them presented a dagger wrapped in white cloth, stained with blood.

The chief chamberlain presented the blade to the emperor, and the emperor lifted the corner of the white cloth and glanced at it, and immediately the corner of his forehead jumped with green tendons.

The queen also glanced at it with her courage, and her heart suddenly became half cold.

She was all too familiar with that dagger, it was a gift from the emperor when her emperor was fifteen years old.

The dagger was inlaid with jewels of various colors, the largest of which was an opal with two words engraved on it: diligence.

That is exactly what the emperor expects of him.

"I didn't, I didn't ......," the prince anxiously explained.

"Good! …… What a good son of mine! The Emperor didn't even look at his son, just stared at the dagger and sneered.

"Your Majesty, the emperor will never do such a thing, please think twice!" The empress looked at the emperor's cold gaze, and her whole heart tightened.

Even if the emperor has been disappointed in her son several times before, he has never shown such terrible eyes, looking at it like that, the final father-son relationship, Jun Chenyi is about to fall apart.

"The emperor, he was originally imprisoned in the Jingsi Palace, how could he come out, your majesty, you have to think twice!"

The Emperor frowned and said, "Where is the person in charge of guarding the Temple of Meditation today?" ”

A short time later, two men dressed in soft armor and dressed as guards came in from outside the hall, and in front of them there was a small chamberlain.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates got a suspicious person." They pushed the little chamberlain to the front of the temple.

When the queen looked down, her face immediately changed.

Because of the excessive fear, she only felt a dull pain in her chest, and it was extremely difficult to breathe.

That chamberlain was the one she had just ordered to go out to find out the news of the enemy generals, but how could he run to the meditation hall where the prince was imprisoned?

The Emperor's gaze fell on the man like a knife, "Raise your head." ”

The chamberlain trembled, still keeping his head down.

"I told you to look up!"

The chief waiter on the side suddenly gasped, "Xiao...... Straight? ”

The little chamberlain raised his head, already in tears.

The emperor glanced at the chief attendant and said disdainfully: "Do you recognize this person?" ”

"Slaves recognize." The chief waiter looked hesitant, "It's just ......"

"Just what?"

The chief chamberlain peeked at the queen and hunched his shoulders, as if he was afraid that the queen would reproach him.

"I am here, and you can speak boldly." The Emperor said impatiently.

"Yes." The chief chamberlain bowed his head and said, "This person's name is Xiao Shunzi, he originally recognized the old slave as his godson, but then he went to the queen's palace somehow, and there was no contact with him again......

The emperor tugged at the corners of his mouth, this kind of thing happens from time to time in the palace, and if he climbs to a better master, he will naturally forget the original master.

"Your Majesty, this person was caught outside the Jingsi Palace, and when his subordinates found him, there was a wooden ladder beside him......"

"Say, who ordered you to go to the Jingsi Palace, but you released the eldest prince?" The Emperor snapped.

The little chamberlain was so shaky that he couldn't even speak, so he could only blindly look at the queen with begging eyes.

The queen was remorseful and resentful in her heart, she obviously only sent him to inquire about the enemy generals, how could this little beast run to the meditation hall!

Now that something has happened, I'm afraid that even she won't be able to clear the deal.

"Bold minion, in vain this palace usually treats you well, you say, who is the instigator to frame the eldest prince!" The queen could only seize this last opportunity, and while questioning, her gloomy eyes stared at Xiao Shunzi.

There was a strong killing intent in his eyes.

Xiao Shunzi's heart was cold, the queen's eyes were clearly full of warnings and threats, if he said half a word, he would die without a place to be buried, no, I am afraid that it will be even more miserable than that.

Everyone in the hall is watching the development of the situation, how the eldest prince will fall, and now it can only be seen what kind of words this chamberlain will say.

When no one was paying attention, Feng Duhan quietly picked up the wine glass and hooked his little finger.

Just when everyone was waiting for the chamberlain to speak, a person suddenly rushed out from the queen's side and pounced on Xiao Shunzi.

Even the guards in front of the palace didn't react, and Xiao Shunzi had an extra dagger on his chest.

Xiao Shunzi looked at his chest in disbelief, and tried his best to raise his hand and point to the queen's position, but his mouth could only make a "hehe" exhalation sound.

Almost at the same time, the palace maid who stabbed Xiao Shunzi to death raised another dagger in her hand and resolutely cut her throat.

In the blink of an eye, both of them died, and they were both people in the queen's palace.

Everyone could see that at this moment, the emperor's eyes were constantly jumping with irrepressible anger.
