Chapter 781 - 781 Kill (6)
781 Kill (6)
As the crown prince was protected by his guards, he was dumbfounded. Huangfu Hao shouted that he wanted to kill him?
This was simply ridiculous!
The moment he arrived, Huangfu Hao was already dead. Why would Huangfu Hao slander him? Wait… The crown prince’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Before he arrived at Yi Feng Pavilion, he seemed to have heard someone shouting his name. However, he was on the road at the back of the mountain and could not hear it clearly. Could it be that he wasn’t mistaken?
But why did Huangfu Hao call his name?
The crown prince’s mind was in a mess, but he still said, “I just came here. How can I have killed him?”
“Tou b*stard. You tricked our master out and asked him to keep us halfway up the mountain so that you could kill him! If we don’t take revenge, the State of Qin will not take it lying down!”
The crown prince felt dumbstruck.
He had personally written the invitation to Huangfu Hao to make this “love at first sight” scene more natural and realistic. The crown prince asked Huangfu Hao out to smell the incense, which happened to be an incense Wang Bi gave to him. Wang Bi’s new wife was “insensible” and invited her sister out to join the fun. The four of them “accidentally” got together, and the show would unfold in such a manner.
However, there was no mention of “leaving your guard halfway up the mountain” in the invitation!
A guard stood in front of the crown prince and said, “Your Highness, we can’t hold on anymore. This person wants to die with us. Your Highness, you’d better leave first.”
The crown prince looked up. Huangfu Hao was obviously dead and could not be revived. Those guards probably knew that their master was dead. Even if they returned to the State of Qin, they would only be executed for failing to do their job, so they might as well die with the crown prince.
The crown prince’s guards still had to protect the crown prince, so it was difficult for them to fight back. The crown prince was a little hesitant. If he left, it would be almost equivalent to admitting having killed Huangfu Hao. However, if he did not leave… looking at the situation, the crown prince did not know if he could return home alive today.
He gritted his teeth and glanced at Huangfu Hao on the ground. “Let’s go!”
The people outside did not know what happened in Yi Feng Pavilion.
Shen Dongling and Wang Bi sat in the carriage. The carriage was still on the way to the mountain. There was still some distance before they could reach the foot of the mountain. They were just here to “witness” today. It would not be good if they arrived too early. Moreover, the Shen mansion was far from Yi Feng Pavilion, and Shen Miao was probably still on her way too, so Wang Bi instructed the coachman to slow down.
Shen Dongling leaned into Wang Bi’s arms and smiled. “Husband, you look like you’re in a good mood today.”
Wang Bi hugged her. “I’m naturally in a good mood after marrying a beauty.” At the thought that after today, his status in the crown prince’s faction would rise again, Wang Bi couldn’t help but feel extremely smug.
Although the Wang family was extremely rich because of the salt smuggling business, they were constantly afraid of being discovered and reported. When Wang Bi was not short of money, power became more important to him.
He wanted his official career to rise by leaps and bounds.
Wang Bi was the crown prince’s subordinate. In the past, although the crown prince was the rightful heir, he was not outstanding among the princes. However, now that the other princes were competing for power, Emperor Wen Hui valued the crown prince more and felt that the crown prince was easier to control. Emperor Wen Hui wanted to support the crown prince, and the crown prince gradually became more ambitious.
In addition… Wang Bi glanced at the beauty in his arms. After marrying Shen Dongling, he felt that he had to make a name for himself.
As long as Shen Miao followed their plan, the crown prince would have a higher chance of inheriting the throne.
Just as he was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Wang Bi lifted the curtain and asked, “What happened?”
A guard ran over. Wang Bi knew him. He was someone close to the crown prince. The crown prince had sent this person to deliver messages to him a few times, and Wang Bi was quite familiar with him.
However, at this moment, that person’s expression was really ugly. Not only that, but his clothes were also disheveled. He waved at Wang Bi and said, “Lord Wang, something happened.”
Shen Dongling tensed up in the carriage.
