Chapter 135 The Crown Prince Dies
At this moment, Ye Ling was surrounded by enemies and couldn't break out at all. However, she was a death warrior, and when she saw that she couldn't escape, she bit her tongue and committed suicide.
Corpses fell into the hall one after another, splattering blood all over everyone.
The remaining men in black also committed suicide.
The emperor's face was gloomy. He looked up at Concubine Li's shoulder and said coldly: "Lu Yuan, today's case is handed over to you."
The hall suddenly fell silent and no one dared to say anything.
"Lu Yuan receives the order!"
Although Lu Yuan didn't understand why the emperor would entrust this matter to him to investigate, he reacted very quickly and stood up and knelt down very quickly.
The mouth reacts faster than the brain.
Once the emperor gives an order, we must obey it and do our work.
The emperor looked at the prince again, his expression slightly relieved, and said to the eunuch beside him, "First call the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to treat the prince's injury."
"Yes." The eunuch took the order and left. The prince's body trembled, but he endured the pain.
With her last breath, she said to His Majesty, "Father, I am afraid I cannot survive this. Yi'er has grown up now, and the Crown Princess is pregnant. I beg you to pass the throne of Crown Prince to Yi'er."
The prince finished speaking and closed his eyes without waiting for the emperor to reply.
His body couldn't hold out for much longer.
He knew very well that he could not survive Xuan Jiuqing, nor could he survive the emperor.
He would only feel at ease when Xuan Yi ascended to the throne of crown prince.
The moment the prince saw Ye Ling, he knew in his heart that what Xu Chunhua said about the assassin was most likely true.
Everyone thought that Ye Ling would assassinate when she presented the zither.
But Ye Ling didn't.
The prince felt that Ye Ling might be a person who was offered as a wooer for his favor by someone with ulterior motives.
But the prince has always been cautious and he feels that what Xu Chunhua said is not groundless.
God helps those who work hard, and the prince finally got his chance.
Although the prince did not expect that the knife would hit his heart, if he was a moment slower, he would not be able to block the knife. His death was valuable, as it was worth it to help Xuan Yi win the position of crown prince.
Even if he can't make it, Xuan Yi can always make it.
Although he is dead.
But the Crown Princess is still alive, and Xuan Yi is his and the Crown Princess's biological child. He believes that the Crown Princess will definitely help Xuan Yi, after all, that is her only child.
The moment the prince closed his eyes, he felt relieved. He had been too tired in his life.
The emperor looked at the prince's body for a long time without saying a word.
As the emperor, the owner of the supreme throne.
He would never allow a woman he disliked to sit on the throne of queen.
He loves the queen.
He also truly loved his son, the prince.
Now the prince is dead.
How could he not be sad.
"Grandpa Emperor, Xuan Yi wants to avenge my father. Please let Xuan Yi investigate this case thoroughly."
Xuan Yi knelt in front of the emperor.
Xuan Yi never thought that his father would die.
What he didn't expect was that his father was still planning for him before he died.
He also wanted to fight for the position of crown prince for him.
At this time, Xuan Yi was not seeking power, he sincerely wanted to avenge his father.
He is the only son. The prince has only him as a son and not even a daughter.
Or maybe the prince witnessed the royal family's ruthlessness.
He projected all the fatherly love that he desired most in his heart onto Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi has been very attached to the prince since he was a child, and the relationship between them as father and son is very deep.
At this moment, Xuan Yi began to resent the Crown Princess.
Over the years, the prince has only had a few concubines and is not very favored.
But what about the Crown Princess? She stayed in the Buddhist temple every day and was unwilling to come out.
Now, the prince is dead.
When he died, he didn't even have a reunion dinner.
Xuan Yi only remembered that when he was a child, the prince tried to please the princess many times, but every time, the princess rejected him.
Xuan Yi didn't understand why the Crown Princess was so heartless. Compared to other men in the capital, his father was considered a good man.
Xuan Yi couldn't believe that this man who seemed to him to be omnipotent was actually dead.
Xu Chunhua also knelt on the ground.
She didn't dare to speak, as she would make mistakes if she spoke too much.
She has no feelings for the prince.
I can't cry.
But she also knew that she had to cry at this time, so she could only pinch her thighs quietly with her hands. She would not stop until she cried in pain.
Xu Chunhua still remembers what Aunt Mei said.
Although Aunt Mei is gone.
But Xu Chunhua still remembered that in such a royal family, she had to cry whenever someone she knew died, and she couldn't cry out loud, otherwise it would be impolite.
At this time, Xu Chunhua just hoped that no one would pay attention to her.
She just needs to keep tears in her eyes.
In Xu Chunhua's opinion, the task of tracking down the assassin should be left to Lu Yuan.
This assassin even dared to kill the Crown Prince and the Emperor. Who else would he not dare to kill?
These assassins are too dangerous.
If the assassin cannot be caught, Lu Yuan can be used as the scapegoat.
Then we can just hold Lu Yuan accountable.
There is really no need to check it out yourself.
But the same is true for Xu Chunhua. Xuan Yi probably won't listen to her ideas.
She now has another child.
Now everything comes first with the children.
If anything happened to the child, Xuan Yi would definitely start bringing up Qiu Ping's past again.
·······
Tonight is a sleepless night.
Everyone is destined to have a sleepless night.
The prince is dead, this matter is of no small importance.
That's the prince.
The party has been suspended.
The guards surrounded everyone and began to check everyone's identity.
Xu Qiuyue didn't understand why the emperor would entrust such a big task to Lu Yuan.
If Lu Yuan was related to the assassin, Lu Yuan could almost let the assassin go easily.
Now that the emperor has appointed Lu Yuan, even the commander of the Imperial Guard has to listen to Lu Yuan in this case.
This is not a good thing.
Lu Yuan had never seen such a big scene before, but he quickly calmed down.
With so many people, they certainly cannot all stay in the palace.
So Lu Yuan started to check according to their identities and status.
After consulting His Majesty.
Lu Yuan took Xu Qiuyue, the commander of the imperial guards, and the chief eunuch to check repeatedly. After confirming that everything was correct, they released her from the palace.
Ye Ling's assassination was carried out in full view of everyone.
Everyone knows that the prince is dead.
If I can leave the palace at this time, I must leave it early.
So everyone cooperated.
If you don't cooperate, you will be investigated strictly.
The Ye family, which was newly promoted to the Hanlin Academy, exterminated three clans.
There was not even the chance to sell oneself into slavery.
The Dali Temple went to arrest people overnight.
When the time comes, he will be taken directly to the execution ground for execution.
Does the truth matter?
The truth doesn't matter.
Even though the Royal Guards had already found the knocked-out Ye family servant and the real Ye Ling.
It is very likely that the Ye family was framed.
But the prince is dead, and someone has to pay the price.
