Hearing the emperor's words, Lampard suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and he was so frightened that cold sweat came out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It was only then that he thought of one thing, that is, this planting incident was exactly the same as the last time he planned it. It's just that the person who was framed last time was Lan, and this time it was himself. Last time, he robbed the caravan of Stephen and the Hercules family, but this time someone else assassinated the emperor. Although the details are different, the technique is exactly the same. No wonder the emperor was suspicious.

After understanding this, Lampard hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, this incident really has nothing to do with me. You think, I have no grudge against Your Majesty, what good will it do to assassinate you? I will not benefit at all except that it will bring disaster to the family, how can I do such a stupid thing? This is obviously someone framed me!"

"Then who do you say will frame you?" the Emperor suddenly sneered.

"This~" Lampard was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I thought that the Stephens family did this, and they came up with such a way to calculate me because they were angry that I sold psychedelics to robbers!"

"Fart!" The fat man was furious when he heard this, and immediately scolded: "You are a bloody squirt!"

"Lampard, do you have any evidence for your allegations?" the Emperor then asked.

"As you can see, the two cases are very close to each other. As long as it's a normal person, who would be stupid enough to carry out the same plot one after another?" Lampard then explained: "So, only those who want to get revenge on me will frame me in the same way!"

When the emperor heard this, he felt that it made some sense. Immediately hesitated again.

When the fat man saw it, he immediately said anxiously: "You little bastard has enemies all over the world, and the person who hates you the most is Grand Duke Shiratori, why do you say that our family framed you? I think you are clearly using strong words!"

"Yes, Grand Duke Shiratori is indeed the person who hates you the most, last time he wrote a letter to remind me to pay attention to you, almost every sentence in the letter is scolding you, it can be seen that he hates you to the core. Why don't you say it's him who framed you, but say it's the Stephens?" the Emperor wondered.

"Because Grand Duke Shiratori can't reach the whip of our griffin kingdom, the only person who can design such a trap is the Stephen family, which is extremely powerful in the local area!" Lampard said hurriedly.

"Ahem!" Hercules coughed twice and said, "You kid has also plundered my caravan." If according to your logic, whoever you offend is the one who framed you. Does that mean that I also participated in the assassination of His Majesty?"

"This~" Lampard was speechless when he was asked by Hercules.

The fat man immediately sneered on the side: "He also offended His Majesty, for which His Majesty fined him 150,000 gold coins." According to his bullshit logic, does it mean that His Majesty himself is also suspected of assassinating himself?"

"It's ridiculous!" the emperor said with a sneer when he heard the fat man's words.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. Frank Lampard hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, please think, I have no grudge against you, how could I assassinate Your Majesty for no reason?"

Obviously, he was speechless by the fat man and Hercules, and he no longer dared to bite around, so he could only defend himself.

"Who said that you have no enmity with Your Majesty?" The fat man immediately sneered on the side: "Could it be that the 150,000 gold coins you illegally obtained recently were confiscated, and you don't have a grudge against Your Majesty in your heart?"

"Your Majesty punished me for educating me, how dare I be resentful!" Lampard hurriedly argued.

"That's a nice thing to say!" the fat man sneered.

"Don't spew blood!" Frank then said angrily: "Although my Augustus family does not say that it is rich and rivals the country, but it also has a small savings, will it assassinate His Majesty for a mere 150,000 gold coins?

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod slightly, obviously skeptical of this excuse. Even His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but wonder again, and said in his heart, am I really wrong?

But at this time, Grand Duke Hercules said softly, "It is said that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is coming back soon!"

Although Hercules didn't say this loudly, it was like a landslide in the ears of Frank and Lampard, so that they were all stunned for a moment.

And among the nobles in the hall, many people did not understand what Hercules meant. But everyone who understood couldn't help but change their faces.

As for His Majesty the Emperor, of course he would not fail to hear the meaning, so he directly showed a look of sudden realization, and then sneered: "Hehe, very good, very good! I, I finally understand!"

It turned out that what Hercules said was actually a hint at the struggle for the throne. You must know that although the eldest princess is younger than the third prince, she is only the second in line to the throne. However, her teacher is undefeated in the East and the top powerhouse of the human race on the continent. In addition, the eldest princess's talent is amazing and she is also diligent, so the strength of the eldest princess has surpassed that of the three princes. On the continent that dominates with strength, this alone is enough for the eldest princess to have the qualifications to replace the third prince.

Moreover, in terms of the forces behind it, the three princes now only have Augustus, a big family, who is desperately supporting, and the other families are still in a wait-and-see attitude. But the eldest princess is different, she is the daughter-in-law of the Stephen family, so she will win the full support of the Stephen family, and the Hercules family and the Stephen family now almost wear a pair of pants, and eighty percent also support the eldest princess.

You must know that the Stephen family and the Hercules family are very powerful, and together they account for almost a quarter of the power of the Griffin Kingdom, especially the old mage of the Stephen family, who actually controls the strongest magic legion, and has an excellent relationship with other Sanctuary powerhouses. In this way, the eldest princess's momentum has greatly surpassed that of the third prince. If the eldest princess is given a few more years to develop, she can easily replace the third prince.

In this case, the situation of the three princes became unpleasant, and the Augustus family, who supported him, was naturally a little anxious. Then, if the emperor is suddenly assassinated at this critical moment, the third prince can naturally ascend to the throne, and the eldest princess who is still abroad will have no chance at all.

Therefore, the meaning of Hercules's sentence is to quietly point out this key. Just one seemingly inconsequential sentence directly drove the Augustus family into the abyss of hell. If you really deserve to be recognized as a wise man, you are smart enough.

When Frank and Lampard heard the Emperor's words, their faces turned to ashes, and they hurriedly knelt down and cried out about their innocence. However, although they cried earth-shatteringly, they still could not completely dispel the emperor's suspicions about them.

It's just that the Augustus family is a big family after all, and the emperor is just suspicious this time, and he really can't find real evidence. Therefore, it is not good to put the charge of assassinating the emperor directly on them. But after such a big mistake, the emperor naturally couldn't spare them easily, so he could only scold them severely, and then ordered Lampard's nobility to be revoked, beaten as a commoner, and never knighted.

After hearing this punishment, Frank breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, as long as he doesn't clean himself up, anyway, the future will still be long, and there will always be a chance to tie this game.

But for Lampard, it was undoubtedly the same as pronouncing his death sentence. Because he has completely lost his relationship with the nobility, not only can he no longer inherit the position of the head of the family, but it is even impossible to continue to stay in the family. Because he knew his father too well, he would definitely sacrifice himself in order to curry favor with the emperor and protect the interests of the family. The lightest is expulsion from the house, and if it is severe, it may even be executed in secret by family law.

And it turned out to be exactly as Lampard had predicted, as soon as he returned, he was expelled from his home by Frank and immediately exiled to the frontier.

As for the real murderer of His Majesty, although the royal agents dispatched a large number of people, they could not find out, especially the person who carried out the assassination, there was no clue at all, and they did not even understand in the end how the murderer made the four shields so powerful. Whether it's magic or vindictiveness, or relying on other equipment or special skills, in short, everything is a mystery. In the face of such a result, of course, the emperor was not satisfied, and after scolding the spy leader several times to no avail, His Majesty, who was embarrassed and angry, finally couldn't help it, and directly cut off the head of the spy leader. So, in just over half a year, because of the old evil alone, the griffin kingdom has changed three spy leaders in a row.

And just after the meeting, the old mage couldn't wait to return to the magic tower, called the old evil to him, and directly glared at the beads of the eyes and asked angrily, "Did you do it?"
