Chapter 158: The Death of Edward II

Yin Leia was still thinking about how to refuse the marriage to Allister, she had no ill feelings for this handsome and handsome prince, but she also didn't feel the same.

But before she could speak, she heard Allister's exclamation, and then saw Edward II with a bloody face falling towards her, Miss Rabbit didn't think much about it, and subconsciously reached out to help.

However, the recent series of victories has made the female lord a little inflated and overestimated her strength, and Edward II is a relatively burly physique among the orcs, plus he has been binge-eating and drinking all these years, and his weight is even more uncontrollable.

Yin Leiya couldn't hold him back, and the two fell backwards together.

She saw Edward II open his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end there was only a ho-ho cough in her throat, and then a large mouthful of blood came out.

Allister on the side stood motionless as if he was frightened.

And the other contestants in the vicinity also looked at a loss.

The first to react was His Majesty the Emperor's chief of guard, Du Lun, but his face was also full of horror at this time, and he no longer had the same calm as before.

Durham had realized that Edward II had been poisoned, the most terrible of all assassinations, and that despite his martial prowess and loyalty, he was now helpless.

He could only step forward, pick up Edward II from the ground, and shout, "What about Pharmacist Mesa, let Pharmacist Meisha come here!" ”

After a pause, Duren said to one of his subordinates, "Go find the Priest of Cornelia, quick!" His Majesty needs her now. ”

And as the chief guard spoke, he felt that the breath of Edward II in his arms was getting weaker and weaker.

This also made Duren's face more and more ugly, and Allister finally came to his senses at this time and wanted to come over to check on his father's condition, but was stopped by Duren.

"Your Highness stops, from now on, no one is allowed to approach Your Majesty, except for the Medicine Master and the Priest of Conelia."

Allister's handsome face was also full of anxiety at this time, and he said angrily, "That's my father, what right do you as an outsider prevent me from coming to see my own father?" ”

Du Lun didn't get angry when he heard this, but said, "The royal guards are tightly guarded, and the only people who can poison His Majesty may be the people close to him, Your Highness Allister, Your Majesty drank the bar you brought just now." ”

Allister was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily, pointed at Durren and said, "You doubt me?!" ”

"I didn't doubt you, I was just stating a fact." The chief guard explained, not giving a step.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Fortunately, at this time Mesa rushed over, and without saying a word, she took out a small bottle from her bosom and uncorked it.

A disgusting stench suddenly hit my face.

Meisha then asked Durham to turn Edward II's body upside down, face down, and placed the vial under Edward II's nose.

As a result, His Majesty the Emperor did not react, and Miss Rabbit, who had just gotten up not long ago, vomited on the ground first.

Duren didn't blame her, because he himself was dizzy from the stench, and his whole stomach was churning, but he didn't vomit it with his strong willpower.

But Edward II, who was closest to him, just opened his mouth slightly and closed it again, as if he were completely unconscious.

Durham felt a bad feeling in his heart, and looked at Meisha, finding that the latter had already oozed sweat from the tip of his nose in just a few moments.

"Medicine Master Maisha," said the chief of the guard in a hoarse voice, "think of a way, and it's up to you whether Your Majesty can hold out until the Priest of Conelia arrives." ”

Meisha hesitated for a moment and said, "I need leeches to suck the poisonous blood out of His Majesty's body." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, do it quickly!" Duren urged.

"But I'm ...... I don't have leeches around me. ”

"I'll let people find it!" Durham made a quick decision, and then he called for two more guards, but before they could take the order, he heard a cry of surprise from Mesha.

"What's wrong again?"

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he is not breathing. Maisha said in a trembling voice.

Durham's heart sank to the bottom when he heard this, and he felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Allister let out a loud roar when he heard this, pushed away the guards who were blocking the way, and rushed in front of Edward II.

"Father!" The third prince knelt on the ground and mourned.

Then Queen Heloin and other important figures also walked down from the stands.

Durham shouted anxiously, "Stand back, all stand back, why hasn't the Priest of Cornelia come yet!"

! ”

However, no one responded to him.

Sobbing sounded in the crowd, which upset Duren a little, but Queen Heloin looked the calmest.

She stared at the corpse on the ground, like looking at the lost car chrysanthemum in the flower garden.

Then he turned to look at the chief of the guard, "Sir Duran, I can understand your loyalty, but my husband, your monarch is dead, and it is useless for you to invite anyone now." ”

Durham's body trembled when he heard this, and then a look of confusion appeared on his resolute face.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he's dead? ”

"I'm afraid so." Heloyin sighed.

Reaching out a hand, he caressed Edward II's round eyes, who were full of astonishment, anger and reluctance in his last moments before dying, and the blood made his face look particularly hideous.

The emperor had just planned to show off his eloquence and strategy, but he didn't expect to hate it.

And Duren, as the chief of the imperial guard, watched the monarch he swore to protect die in his arms, and he only felt that the sky was about to fall.

At this moment, he was at a loss as if he were a child.

And Heloyin's voice continued, and the queen who was usually obsessed with art and literature took over Durham's command, pointing in a certain direction of the crowd.

"Go and arrest Wade first, he is His Majesty's drinker, and he is the most suspicious."

Then she looked at Allister, who grimaced, "Do you doubt me too?" ”

"No, but the next investigation will require your cooperation."

"Investigation, who will investigate the death of my father?"

"I propose Sir Essos, who is the commander of the garrison." "The murder that took place in Lionheart was his responsibility. ”

"I'm against it, who doesn't know that Essos is your man!" Allister shouted.

Garth didn't seem to expect his younger brother to put this kind of thing directly on the table, and he couldn't help but get angry and frowned.

"You are a suspect, if you want to prove your innocence, the most important thing to do at this time is not to interfere in the investigation."

"I'm a suspect, what about you, brother?" Allister sneered, "Earl Crane is your sword teacher, and my father was still investigating his framing of Sir Yin Leia yesterday. ”
