Chapter 193: Rebellion
Everything just happened at the same time in an instant, and at the same time as the door was slammed open, Xiao Yu screamed at the same time: "Help, help, the prince is going to kill me!" ”
Murong Che, who had just woken up, only felt that there was a hard object in his hand, and he instinctively clenched it, and at this moment, Xiao Yu's eyes closed and he fainted directly.
"Murong Che, you actually want to murder the county lord!" As soon as the second prince rushed in to see the situation, he immediately shouted in shock and anger.
Only then did Murong Che realize that the hard object in his hand turned out to be a dagger, and the dagger was actually stained with blood. He threw the dagger away in fright, and cried out in a panic, "What's the matter, this...... What's going on! ”
The second prince had already rushed up to pull the little fish away, and barely held the little fish's body with half support and half hugging. Although this was all discussed in advance, when the second prince saw that Xiaoyu was put on his neck with a dagger by Murong Che, he was still anxious, for fear that Murong Che would make a mistake and hurt Xiaoyu.
The Beiqiang officials who rushed in with him were all stunned, only Commander Cui ordered someone to step forward to control Murong Che, and then wake up Bai Fubai Rong, who had fallen to the ground, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Bai Fu first pounced on Xiao Yu and shouted, "County Lord, County Lord!" It wasn't until Xiaoyu secretly winked at her that she was relieved.
Bai Fu looked at Bai Rong, who had just gotten up from the ground, knelt down and cried: "Second prince, the prince suddenly rushed in and kidnapped the county lord, I waited for the two of them to struggle to stop them, but they were kicked by the prince and fainted, fortunately, the county lord Ji Ren Tianxiang, second prince, you came in time......
The second prince's face turned pale, turned his face to look at the right minister, and said: "Kidnapping the county lord of Datan, I will definitely ask you Beiqiang to give me an explanation for this matter!" ”
At this moment, suddenly a palace man pointed to the dagger in Murong Che's hand and said, "It's him, it's him, the assassin who just broke in is him!" ”
This was a shock, and everyone looked at Murong Che in shock.
"What? Who? What assassin? Murong Che's drunkenness had not completely dissipated, and he had already been dizzy by the statements of the people in front of him.
At this time, a man hurriedly barged in, "Father, Father was assassinated, they say that the assassin broke in here!" As soon as this person came in, he was taken aback when he saw everyone's solemn faces, and hurriedly said: "Prince, prince, what's the matter with you!" "This person is Murong Hua.
The second prince looked back and saw Murong Hua hurriedly said: "Prince Murong, you came just in time, the prince of your country intends to kidnap the county lord and plot against him, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”
Right Xiang, who had been silent at the moment, suddenly waved his hand and said, "Murong Hua, let me ask you, where are you just now?" ”
Murong Hua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Xiao Wang was just outside to accompany the guests, and he drank a little too much, so he went to the side hall to rest for a while. Only then did someone from the palace come to report that it was the assassin in the father's bedroom, so he hurried here. “
At this moment, some officials standing behind the right prime minister echoed one after another, saying that they had all seen Murong Hua enter the side hall to rest.
The right minister turned to the palace who had just exclaimed: "What did you do just now?" The palace man trembled and said, "Just ...... The Assassin ...... From the slave maid...... Flash, slave...... Although I didn't see it clearly...... The face of the assassin, but ...... But...... But the Assassin had a dagger in his hand...... But the slave and the maid are ...... See...... Clear......"
After he finished these words intermittently, his face had become as pale as a dead man, and beads of sweat the size of beans slowly slid down his forehead.
The right minister looked solemn, and said to the second prince: "Second prince, now that the matter involves the assassination of this king, please ask the envoy of your country to take refuge for the time being!" ”
The second prince snorted from his nose and said: "Right Minister, it is inconvenient for us to interfere in the internal affairs of your country, but if the prince of your country wants to hold the county lord hostage, we will not give up, now the county lord we will take it out of the palace for the time being, and wait for your country to give us an explanation, and we will talk about the future!" ”
The right minister sighed and waved his hand, and the guards behind him dodged a path. The second prince ordered someone to bring a soft sedan chair and carried Xiaoyu out, Bai Fubai Rong naturally packed up some of the things commonly used by the county lord and followed the soft sedan chair, and Commander Cui hurriedly took the others to follow behind the second prince.
The second prince quietly glanced at Murong Hua as he left, their task was completed, and then it was up to Murong Hua himself. No one noticed that there was one more person quietly among the guards who followed Commander Cui out.
After Da Tan's people were finished, Murong Hua Fang said to the right minister: "Right minister, look at this ......", the right minister interrupted Murong Hua's words expressionlessly: "Let's go, let's go to see the king together and bring the prince with you!" The second half of his sentence was said to the guards beside him.
The right minister was feasting with a group of officials in the outer hall, and suddenly saw a figure rushing straight into the inner hall from the outside, they were worried that the prince would lose and hurriedly rushed in, and happened to meet the second prince who also rushed over, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing on this wedding night.
The group was just about to walk out of this side hall, when suddenly a palace person came to report in a panic: "Oh no, no, the king is ...... He ......"
Everyone changed color in unison, and only when they heard the palace people report that the king had been assassinated, they felt uneasy, and now the palace people came to report again, and everyone's hearts sank. Originally, the king's time was running out, and everyone was mentally prepared, but he was assassinated at this juncture, and the suspect was still the prince, and at this time I was afraid that there would be a bloody storm in the Beiqiang King City.
The right minister ordered a few important ministers, and together with Murong Hua, he hurried to Murong Yu's dormitory with Murong Che. As soon as she entered the dormitory, she smelled a strong smell of blood, and at this moment, Murong Bing also heard the news and rushed over, so she went to the kitchen to prepare a decanting soup for Murong Hua, and she hurried to it when she heard that her father had an accident.
Because it was planned in advance, the two siblings tried their best to let more people see them before and after the incident to clear their suspicions. Although Murong Yu had not been around for a long time, the crown prince had a reluctant motive to assassinate him.
But after several plans, this is the fastest and most effective way, politics does not need ironclad evidence, just need to see the prince killing his father in front of the public.
Although Murong Hua has hated his father very much since the death of his mother, but now when he saw that his former majestic and majestic father was now a dying man lying on the bed, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he suddenly knelt in front of Murong Yu's couch and took his hand and choked up: "Father, father, I'm here......"
And the concubine on the side shouted: "Bold, you dare to treat the prince like this!" After speaking, he wanted people to remove the shackles on the prince's body.
And Murong Che saw that the eldest concubine had finally found the backbone, and kept shouting: "Mother save me, mother save me!" ”
Murong Hua didn't hear it, he was just immersed in the sadness of his father's imminent death. At this moment, he suddenly forgave the sick man in front of him, and forgave the man he hated for seven years.
The right minister waved his hand and signaled the soldiers next to him to stop the concubine's people. "Concubine, now that the truth is unknown, the prince is still like this for the time being!" Then, he briefly stated to the eldest concubine that the prince was suspected of holding the county lord hostage.
As soon as they arrived, the chamberlain whispered to them about the situation, and when the assassin broke into the dormitory, the eldest concubine and several other concubines were serving the potions. Seeing the assassin coming, the eldest concubine casually pulled the two concubines in front of her, so the assassin only stabbed the two concubines, but did not attack Murong Yu.
But after the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Murong Yu was frightened by this, and I am afraid that he may die at any time. The two concubines were a little unlucky, one was stabbed in the chest, and now her breath was dying, and the imperial doctor had little confidence that she could save her; The other was blocked with his hand when the dagger stabbed, and now his arm was bleeding, but he was not worried about his life.
The concubine was frightened and undecided, but she was worried that the assassin was still in the palace, so she summoned the guards to surround the dormitory. But when she calmed down, she heard that the assassin was actually the crown prince. She killed a few palace people with a cane at that time, but more and more palace people said that when they saw the appearance of the prince, the concubine couldn't help but be shocked and angry.
She is a woman who has experienced storms and waves, and as soon as the right minister tells what happened in the new house, the concubine suddenly realizes that this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against the prince and her. But she doesn't seem to be able to think of any good way to clear the prince's suspicion for a while.
After the prince found an opportunity to kill his father, he held the lord of Da Tan hostage in an attempt to get away with the crime, this whole incident is completely reasonable, even if Murong Yu is about to die, but if the prince can't wait to kill his father to take the throne, it is not impossible.
The eldest concubine was anxious in her heart, and she only hated herself for being too spoiled by her son, which led to the prince's misdemeanor at this juncture, which made people find an opportunity to frame him.
Her own children knew that the eldest concubine knew that it was impossible for Murong Che to kill her father, but in front of everyone, not only the palace people saw it, but many guards and officials saw the prince break into Murong Yu's bedroom, and even the clothes were described as the same as the clothes that the prince was wearing now.
Although the right minister did not order someone to search the prince's body, the blood on the dagger and the faint visible blood marks on the prince's robe, if it weren't for the concubine's understanding of Murong Che very well, she would almost believe that it was the prince's doing.
At this moment, Zuo Xiang, who supported the crown prince, hurried over, and when he was drinking the banquet, Murong Hua and the second prince took turns to toast, and he was unknowingly drunk. I was just woken up by someone sent by the right minister.
But now that the concubine's faction has lost the opportunity, the right minister has sent people to protect all the witnesses, and they can't kill people if they want to.
The eldest concubine only hoped that Murong Hua and the right minister would leave first, so that she could discuss with the officials who supported the prince such as the left minister how to clear the prince's innocence. Even if the prince is innocent, there will still be rumors of the crown prince usurping the throne after ascending the throne.
