Revenge of Rebirth: Beauty scheming

Chapter 97 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

As soon as the words fell, the woman in white fell down softly.

The commander of the Imperial Guard next to her stepped forward and sniffed her, his expression changed slightly: "Your Majesty, she is already dead!"

Everyone present was shocked, and looked at Xuanyuan Yu and Concubine Hui with suspicion.

All the assassins were dead, and the last sentence left by the assassin directly pointed out that the mastermind behind the scenes was Xuanyuan Yu!
This is simply unbelievable!Well done, how could the Third Prince commit the act of killing his father?

Although the three princes are now vying for the position of crown prince, the outcome is not decided at all. Xuanyuan Yu has not yet been cornered. No matter how much he wants to get this seat, he cannot take the risk of assassinating the emperor!

What's more, the three princes have their own forces behind them. At least in terms of the strength seen on the surface, no one is much more powerful than the other. In Xuanyuan Yu's hands, why is he so confused?
Also, if one really wanted to assassinate the emperor, who would be stupid enough to do it in such a large crowd?
Most of the people present thought of this level, but it was only because most of them maintained enough reason.

But the emperor was not like that.

He himself was the blood relative of Wang Gu and the late emperor back then, and came to this country through rebellion and rebellion.As the saying goes, like a father, like a son, it is not surprising that his indifferent temperament has been passed on to future generations, so naturally he would not trust his sons so much.

And he was willing to leave a notoriety of treason in the history books and seize the world, which is enough to show how deep his obsession with the throne is.

He can pass on his son, but he will never tolerate anyone coveting this position!

At this time, when he heard the dying testimony of the woman in white, his mind rang loudly, and he was almost about to shoot the case.

Concubine Hui's face turned pale, and she knelt down on the ground. Her expression and voice were full of aggrieved resentment: "Your Majesty knows that this matter is full of doubts. It is clear that someone deliberately framed the Third Prince. Your Majesty must not listen to the assassin's one-sided words!"

The emperor glanced at her coldly, and said coldly: "Don't concubine Hui know the saying that a person who is about to die is good at his words?"

The angry emperor didn't see the obvious doubts, and Concubine Hui was also acting stupid because of her anxiety at this moment——

Now the emperor is suspicious of Concubine Hui and Xuanyuan Yu. It would be fine if Concubine Hui didn't say a word, but she wants to stand up and intercede for Xuanyuan Yu. Wouldn't it make the emperor believe that the two of them conspired together?

The emperor had just finished speaking, but Concubine Hui was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Concubine Hui's father, Hu Guogong, was much calmer. His eyes swept across the crowd, and landed on Luo Heng, Minister of the Household Department, and winked at Luo Heng.

Luo Heng understood, immediately stepped forward and knelt down on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I think that His Highness the Third Prince is not such an idiot. If he really wanted to assassinate the Emperor, he would never choose a place where so many people were present. It is even more impossible to send only such a few weak women here, this must be deliberately designed by someone with a heart, to slander His Highness!"

The emperor narrowed his dangerous eyes, and said in his mouth, "Slander? Who would come to slander him!"

Having said that, in fact, he has calmed down now because of Luo Heng's reminder. Thinking about it carefully, there are indeed many doubts in it.The reason why he was still so angry was because he wanted to give these three sons some warnings, with the intention of killing chickens and monkeys.

He paused, staring at Xuanyuan Yu coldly like a poisonous snake: "The third prince is placed under house arrest, and Concubine Hui is also grounded. This matter will be reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment. Until there is a result, you are not allowed to go out for half a step!"
