Chapter 286: Family Banquet
Back at the Prince's Mansion, Sun Wufan asked the maid to make a pot of tea, and the tea was given by Xu Xiaoyang, which was still very much in line with his appetite.
"Huh?"
Burst!!
Hearing Sun Wufan's words, Wang Xuye directly sprayed Long Aotian in the face.
"Hey, what are you doing!?" Long Aotian jumped for a while, because he didn't expect Wang Xuyi to spray him, and he wasn't like Liu Qixian...... He was very relaxed, and he couldn't dodge it at all.
Poisonous......?
Liu Qixian put the cup in front of his nose and sniffed it, but he didn't smell anything except the fragrance of tea. I stretched out my tongue and licked it, but I didn't notice anything, is it that the dose hasn't been reached yet?
Just as he wanted to look up and ask for an understanding, he saw Sun Wufan drink the rest of the tea.
Liu Shuxian: ......
"I know you're good, so there's no need to drink it all, right?"
"Well, because it's delicious, poisoning doesn't affect the taste, and it's even better. β
Be...... Is that so?
Liu Qixian looked down at his cup, and after thinking about it, he still forgot it, the way of pretending to be too forced was not suitable for him.
Putting the quilt in his hand, Liu Qixian asked, "So, do you know who poisoned it?"
Poof, Sun Wufan didn't say anything, and the maid, who was already blue-faced, knelt down.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......"
"Okay, I'll punish whoever poisoned me, you go down first. β
After waving his hand and sending the maid away, Sun Wufan didn't face anyone, and suddenly said, "Call me out of the monitor." β
Is there still monitoring here?
Liu Shuxian pricked up his ears, and even Long Aotian and Wang Zhuxie, who were fighting fiercely, also came up. Sun Wufan didn't hide it, and directly called up a few virtual screens, and everyone watched it together.
"Wow~ This person is actually spying on his younger brothers and sisters!?" Wang Xuxie exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"There's no way, they've all been taught badly, I don't look at them, if they go out and cause trouble, don't you want to say that the parents didn't discipline the bear children well!?" Sun Wufan also exclaimed exaggeratedly.
That's right...... Well, you have the ...... of your sisters"
Bang!
Wang Zhuxie stuck to the wall, although he was not injured, but it was enough for him to be in pain for a while.
After beating him, Sun Wufan didn't pay any more attention. There are a lot of screens to monitor, not only the daily actions of his younger brothers and sisters, but also the actions of everyone in the prince's mansion, and he still needs a certain amount of energy if he wants to see it clearly in person.
Well......
Sun Wufan had a calm face, thinking that this time it was just those aristocratic forces who didn't want to see him inherit the throne do it, but he didn't expect that this time it was really his younger brother's ghost.
β...... What should I do?" Liu Qixian carefully observed Sun Wufan's expression.
Alas!
Sun Wufan sighed, stood up and looked out the window: "What else can I do? I'm not a ruthless person, my brother has to give a chance to make a mistake." He's just been taught badly, so let me teach him. β
After that, the crown prince was poisoned and shocked the government and the public, and the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. The people in the Prince's Mansion are all there, and they can't escape under the control of Sun Wufan, and the pot of tea was still kept at that time, and the people sent by the emperor were investigating.
Sun Wufan and his party were also waiting in the courtyard, they were victims, plus they were the prince and his cronies, so it was naturally impossible to be interrogated like prisoners, but they just said what they knew. Of course, it is impossible to say such a thing as video surveillance.
"Your Highness. β
The person in charge of the operation walked over.
"It's over?"
"Yes, we have already targeted us, but we don't know who the main messenger is yet, and I'm afraid in the current situation...... Even if you know, you can't get evidence. β
In fact, the person in charge knows that if this kind of thing is not full of evidence on the spot, it will be difficult to investigate later, even if it is with the emperor's order this time, it will encounter a lot of resistance, and it is necessary to give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a preventive injection here.
"Hmm. β
Sun Wufan didn't care about the evidence at all, just nodded perfunctorily.
Well?
The person in charge was moved, this was poisoned, and it was poisoned by the people around him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reaction was too cold...... Do ......you already know the same as the Messenger of the Lord? Is this written and directed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!?
His guess is actually not unreasonable, if he was a self-writer and self-director who knew that he would not be hit, he would naturally not be so excited. And this situation is not unprecedented, and it is a good trick to frame competitors (provided that it is not discovered).
Thinking of this possibility, the person in charge was in his heart, and hurriedly restrained his expression and eyes, it would be terrible if he was discovered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Although this is only one of the possibilities, it may not be true.
"So ......"
The person in charge wanted to leave, but at this time an uninvited guest came.
"Hahaha!"
A series of laughter went from far to near, and the face of the person in charge changed: "Protect His Royal Highness the Prince!!"
"Hahaha, the response is so fast!
Six Doors Total Head Catcher?
Because they only knew that it was someone sent by the emperor, Sun Wufan and they didn't care what unit they came from, but they didn't expect it to be ...... Isn't this the emperor's bad taste?
"Are you...... Abyssal !?" the head catcher gasped.
The person who came looked young, and it was difficult to distinguish between men and women in terms of voice and appearance, but there was a sign of the abyss organization tattooed on his forehead, and he was immediately recognized.
"Hee-hee, don't be nervous, I'm just here to pass the word...... Hey, Your Highness the Prince, we agreed to your request, so if you want to come over, let's start this. β
The man of the abyss threw a ring-like thing to Sun Wufan, and this scene and what he said were enough to make people think about it.
β...... What a bold man, to sow discord!?"
The chief catcher was also stunned for a while before he reacted, the abyss is a wanted criminal in the world by the Church of Light, no matter who has anything to do with the abyss, it will definitely attract the attack of the Church of Light. This is still a very bad thing for the Longxia Empire.
"Hehe, isn't it? Anyway, I'm just here to pass the word, this is the last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to talk. β
"Nonsense, take it for me!!"
"I can't be caught by you!"
"Don't want to escape!"
The chief catcher immediately chased after him with someone, as for whether he could catch it, it was not within Sun Wufan's concern.
Long Aotian: "Hey, isn't this a set-up?"
Wang Zhuxie: "How can you put it, Wu Fan doesn't care at all, and no one can 'care' about him." β
Liu Shuxian: "That's right, at this moment, it was put on a ...... No, they are the ones who are generalized, although it is only a matter of time. β
Sun Wufan: "Hmph, you actually chose this kind of timing...... I don't have time to pay attention to them for the time being, and I'll talk about it when I educate my younger brother!"
What happened in the Prince's Mansion can't be hidden from anyone with a heart at all, whether it is the poisoning incident or someone from the abyss, this is a big deal. Especially the latter, if it doesn't get it right, it will affect the entire Longxia Empire, and the entire political arena of the imperial capital of the Longxia Empire will be shaken.
"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually related to the abyss, what a gaffe! If the Church of Light asks about the sin, how will we explain it?"
"Your Majesty, the minister proposes to abolish the crown prince, only in this way can the suspicion of collusion between our country and the abyss be cleared, otherwise even if the Church of Light does not pursue it, I am afraid that the surrounding countries will seize this excuse to unite to invade our country!"
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!"
"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"
These are all the nobles and ministers who have been on the side of the Great Prince, the Five Princes and the old forces of the Longxia Kingdom in the past, if Sun Wufan ascends the throne, it is definitely not in their interests, and they will put pressure on the emperor together when they seize this opportunity. And these are quite correct reasons, Sun Wufan has no foundation here, and naturally there is no neutral minister to help speak.
But even if the scene is one-sided, Xu Xiaoyang will not listen to them, even if this is not his son, Sun Wufan's strength cannot be held responsible.
(The kid...... I don't know if he's going to be angry when he hears this? If he gets angry, it's going to be a big problem. Although these guys value their own interests, at least they are loyal to the country, and they are still needed now, and they can't be allowed to make trouble anymore. οΌ
Hey, teacher, help me.
Xu Xiaoyang looked at the dean who was also present, although they were all demigod-level powerhouses, their positions were different, and the dean was more deterrent.
"Ahem. β
Sure enough, as soon as the dean spoke, the hall fell silentβalthough the demigod-level coercion also played a big role.
"It's really a gaffe, this is just a ploy of the abyss, their next move hasn't come out yet, and the Church of Light hasn't moved yet, you're afraid of this, wouldn't it be the prestige of the tarnished Longxia Empire if it spread?"
"But Your Excellency, if the abyss is aside, how can the Church of Light sit idly by......?" The church also has a lot of opinions about His Royal Highness the Prince. β
"Hmph! The crown prince is the crown prince of our country, what if the Church of Light has an opinion? But if we have an opinion, we have to back down? In this way, can we still call ourselves an empire? There is no evidence to prove that the prince colluded with the abyss, and His Royal Highness the prince had only saved the three princesses in the hands of the abyss before, and they should be enemies! This is just a conspiracy of the abyss, even if the Church of Light asks, we have reason to refute it. Just because the crown prince may be abolished, the Longxia Empire will be discredited!"
Finally, someone stood up to speak for Sun Wufan, although this was just from the position of the country, and he didn't want to weaken his prestige.
Although it was reasonable, there were still many reasons for the opposing side, and just as the two sides were about to quarrel, the dean coughed twice again, and the hall fell silent again.
"Actually, it's mainly about the attitude of the Church of Light. Before coming, the old man also went to talk to Bishop Hanni, and he also expressed his understanding that he would not ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince until the evidence was clear. β
Not to mention understanding, the dean recalled Bishop Hanni's attitude, and he was simply frightened - the bishop of the Church of Light in the imperial capital of the empire would be frightened? Even if the other party was a god, it was impossible to be afraid of that.
What exactly is this......
The dean glanced at Xu Xiaoyang complainingly, I'm afraid this disciple knows it very well, but he just doesn't make it clear to himself...... No, I should have said it, but I didn't believe it before. But Bishop Hanni has had that attitude since he went to see the Prince, I'm afraid...... The images that appeared in the heavens all over the world were real, and this is the only way to frighten a bishop.
But he really didn't dare to be sure of this matter easily, so he could only verify it slowly, and he didn't know if he had that chance.
After the abbot said that Bishop Hanni would not pursue the matter for the time being, the ministers settled down for the time being, and this time it was the end of it.
And that night, according to Xu Xiaoyang's habit, he called all his children to have a meal together, and sometimes invited some ministers to come over, and this time was no exception.
It's just that this time there is one more Monkey King, and so many big things have happened just now, and the atmosphere is a little dignified.
When you eat about the same.
"Big brother, I heard that the abyss came to look for you in the past, did you teach them a lesson!?" The third princess waved her little fist and looked angry, how dare the Abyss Organization bully her before?
Sun Wufan smiled slightly: "When I deal with this matter, I will teach them a lesson." β
"Hmm!!" the third princess nodded heavily.
Hearing their conversation, the second prince rolled his eyes and asked, "Big brother, you just said that you want to deal with this side of the matter, I don't know what it is, do you need help from the younger brother?"
Lick somebody's boots?
The person who knew the second prince frowned, it seemed that there was something in the words.
Sun Wufan put down his chopsticks, closed his eyes and said, "It's nothing, I just want to deal with the fact that I was poisoned." β
οΌοΌ
Everyone was shocked, and Xu Xiaoyang hurriedly asked, "Fan'er, have you found out the truth?"
Sun Wufan nodded, opened his eyes and glanced at the people present: "The murderer is among you." β
What the!!?
Shocking, but not unexpected. Even Xu Xiaoyang is actually suspicious...... Alas, it's all his fault, he is busy with official business all day long, and he doesn't have time to educate his son well.
Hum!
The eldest prince sneered silently and asked, "Everyone here is a younger brother and younger sister, how can it be possible to assassinate you, eldest brother?
"Yes? I have solid proof. β
What the!?
This is not shock, but panic...... Whether it's a murderer or not, after all, it's fratricide.
Syllable!
The eldest prince slapped the table and stood up and looked directly at Sun Wufan: "Is what you said true!?"
"Of course. β
"That'...... Where's the proof!?"
Evidence?
Sun Wufan shook his head: "I won't take it out, if this happens, there will be no chance to turn back." But I want to give it a chance, after all, you've just been taught badly. β
This paternalistic tone......
Although the eldest brother can indeed be regarded as a parent, these princes are not convinced, one by one, with words written on their faces.
"Big brother, you should understand that if you can't produce evidence, you're just slandering your own brother!!" The eldest prince said angrily.
Sun Wufan shook his head again, he didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he said: "I want to ask again, are you like the prince of the Longxia Empire or the Xu family?"
This problem again!?
The brothers and sisters looked at their father, what is the special meaning of this question?
However, just when Xu Xiaoyang wanted to solve his doubts, an angry shout sounded like thunder in the room: "Ridiculous!"
