Chapter 163: Death of the 7th King
"Xiaoyao!" Xuanxuan woke up from a nightmare.
"Your Highness, are you awake? You've been unconscious all night, get up and wash up first!"
Xiaoxiao helped Xuanxuan up. Xuanxuan shook his dizzy head and seemed to remember what happened. He broke away from Xiaoxiao's hand. He wanted to go find Xiaoyao and take back Haoling.
"Xiaoxiao, prepare the car. I want to go back to Haoling. I want to see Xiaoyao wake up. She was injured and dying while trying to save me. How can I not be by her side!"
"Your Highness, no, you can't go back!"
Xiaoxiao watched Xuan coming step by step. He saw that the plan was about to succeed. If he went back at this time, all his efforts would be in vain.
"Go away! She's dying, and I can't even go see her. What's the point of all this?"
Xuan slumped to the ground in despair. Xiaoyao was his only relative, but he had to watch her die in front of him. The arrow had pierced her heart. How could he save her?
"Your Highness, Xiaoyao doesn't want to see you like this. You should cheer up now. You should avenge Xiaoyao. Who hired the assassin? Does Your Highness know?"
Tu Shanjing's gentle voice sounded. He hadn't figured out the purpose of Xiaoyao's move, but Xuanxuan must not leave Xiyan now. He still had a chance if Xuanxuan became king. If Xuanxuan failed, he would have no chance. Maybe Xiaoyao just wanted Xuanxuan to fail. If he could take this opportunity to get rid of the Seventh King, it would also be a good opportunity.
"So what if I know? I have no evidence! Fang Fengbei is right, I'm a loser. I can't even protect Xiaoyao!"
"Your Highness, King Hao Ling will not share the evidence with you. This matter is serious. The princess is seriously injured and dying. Xi Yan must give Hao Ling an explanation!"
Chaoyang Hall
Xuan was kneeling in front of the hall, still wearing the clothes he was wearing when he was assassinated last night!
King Xuanyuan had a headache. It had only been a short time. He had thought Xiaoyao was a well-behaved child, but he had never expected her to be a troublemaker.
"What do you want!"
"Grandson begs His Majesty to give Xiaoyao an explanation. She is my aunt's only daughter. Now her life or death is unknown. The murderer must be severely punished!"
King Xuanyuan was a little annoyed. Was it right or wrong for him to choose Xuan? He was so emotional. It was obviously a trap, but he couldn't see it. But now that the trap was a foregone conclusion, he could only try his best to deal with it.
"If there's no evidence, don't make a decision yet. Wait until we've thoroughly investigated the matter before we discuss it again! Back off!"
Xuan had no choice but to retreat, and when he returned, he bumped into the Seventh Prince Yu Yang. Seeing Yu Yang's provocative eyes, he even made a gesture of shooting an arrow into his heart. Xuan was already furious.
"I'm going to kill you, you murderer!"
Xuan wanted to rush forward, but was held back by Xiaoxiao. His body was getting weaker and weaker, and the side effects of taking drugs were clearly exposed. Even Xiaoxiao couldn't break free!
Yu Yang walked forward with a sneer, patted Xuan's face, looked at Xuan with contempt, and said mockingly:
"Look, now you can only bark like a dog! Who is the murderer? You killed my son, I killed your sister, how fair! Watch out for yourself!"
"Yuyang, I will kill you!"
Xuanxuan suddenly calmed down. He couldn't go on like this, but there was really nothing he could do now. He just hoped that there would be good news from Zhongyuan as soon as possible.
Another day, in Chaoyang Palace
"Your Majesty, I am following the order of King Hao Ling and beg you to give our princess an explanation. The fate of our eldest princess remains uncertain. She met with an accident in your Xuanyuan City. If you cannot satisfy King Hao Ling, our Majesty has said that he doesn't mind sending troops to attack Xiyan! This is evidence of the murderer's hiring of a killer. Your Majesty, please review it!"
After saying this, Ruoshou handed a stack of evidence to the waiter with both hands and asked the waiter to hand it over to King Xuanyuan.
Although King Xuanyuan expected Shaohao to ask for an explanation, he didn't expect it to be so quick, and even found evidence! He had to hand someone over today no matter what.
King Xuanyuan took the evidence expressionlessly, opened it and took a quick look. All the evidence pointed to the Seventh Prince Yuyang. He first hired a killer from the Phantom Pavilion to kill Princess Haoling and Princess Xuan. The Phantom Pavilion refused to accept the offer, so he turned to another killer organization. It was clearly written when he hired the killer. King Xuanyuan was furious!
Shaohao, if it wasn't you who did it, he wouldn't believe it. Haoling Jiuyao, very good! The evidence was delivered right after it happened. He wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't intentional.
"Go and summon the Seventh Prince Yuyang into the palace!"
"General Rushou, please wait a moment!"
After a while, the seventh prince Yuyang entered the palace
"Get down on your knees! Look at what you've done!"
When Yu Yang came in, King Xuanyuan shouted and threw the evidence in his hand in front of him. Yu Yang shuddered with fear and quickly picked up the things in his hand and opened them. In an instant, his heart was dead, his eyes rolled, and he cried loudly:
"Your Majesty, I'm being wronged. I've been staying with Liang'er in the mourning hall all this time. I was afraid he'd be scared alone, so I stayed by his side for a whole month without leaving. If you don't believe me, you can ask the steward in the palace; he can testify! Even if I had ten guts, I wouldn't dare touch Princess Haoling!"
"Call the steward into the hall!"
King Xuanyuan seemed relieved, thinking that he was not too stupid.
"This old servant pays homage to Your Majesty. I wonder why Your Majesty would like to see me."
"Has the Seventh Prince been guarding Yue Liang in the mourning hall for the past month?"
Xuanyuan Wang's voice was full of majesty, but Rushou laughed mockingly. Did he really think he was easy to fool? This was clearly a reminder to the steward.
The steward glanced at the Seventh Prince cautiously, and when he winked at him, he immediately understood.
"Yes, the prince has been keeping vigil for His Highness and has never left his post."
"The evidence clearly states that he hired someone to commit murder, and the expenses in the accounting office are clearly from the Seventh Prince's Mansion! Could it be that General Rushou is lying?"
The steward shuddered with fear and looked at the Seventh Prince repeatedly. Seeing him glaring at him viciously, he thought that the lives of his family were in the hands of the Seventh Prince, and he made up his mind.
"It was this old servant. I watched His Highness Yue Liang grow up and treated him as my own child. Now that His Highness has tragically died, and seeing the prince so heartbroken, this old servant, in a moment of anger, had evil intentions. I used the prince's reputation and the palace's private funds to hire someone to kill someone. This is all my fault. I will die to atone for my sin!"
Without waiting for anyone to react, the steward stabbed the man's throat with a hairpin, causing blood to spurt all over the floor. Within moments, he fell to the ground and died.
"General Rushou, the truth is clear now. The real culprit is dead. Seventh Prince Yuyang failed to discipline him properly. He is punished with one year of official duties and three months of solitary confinement. How about we let this matter rest?"
Ruoshou sneered in his heart, he really was worthy of being the cunning King Xiyan.
"I will explain this matter to His Majesty. Since the result has been reached, I will not disturb you any further. I will return and report the truth!"
Rushu turned and left, a perfect example of Jinchan's escape.
The Seventh Prince Yuyang smiled complacently, bowed and took his leave. It was just confinement, nothing serious!
On the seventh day, the servants brought food to the Seventh King, but heard only a horrified scream.
The seventh prince, Yuyang, was executed by slow slicing
