Chapter 367
Duan Li was recuperating from his injuries in the suburbs of Beijing, and he came to the palace in the evening.

Seeing Lord Rong salute.

"Duan Li has met the prince." He didn't even look at Duan Pei who was beside him.

Duan Pei forced himself to rush forward, but stared at Duan Li coldly.

"Did you know that your son was murdered?" Prince Rong sat there, looking at him expressionlessly.

Duan Li nodded.

"I also just heard, my lord, how did the prince die, can I investigate?"

Duan Pei couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered over there.

"Go and investigate, is the thief calling for a thief!"

Duan Li didn't seem to hear Duan Pei's words, he still looked at Lord Rong.

Lord Rong said calmly.

"He said you killed it."

A hint of surprise appeared on Duan Li's face, but then he became calm.

"I didn't." He didn't say any more.

Seeing that Duan Li had no intention of defending himself, Prince Rong couldn't help but feel a little bored.

He believed that if Duan Li didn't exist, everyone could, but Duan Li couldn't, because the death of the son would not benefit Duan Li at all.

It's just that there is still a little doubt. After all, Duan Pei would not say that for no reason. He wanted to see Duan Li's reaction, but Duan Li didn't respond.

"You killed the son, and then you want to plant it on me!"

Seeing that his father seemed to believe it, Duan Pei broke down from his fear of his father and his speculation about it, and cried out loudly.

Duan Li was stunned.

Prince Rong was also a little surprised.

They looked at Duan Pei at the same time.

Duan Pei also realized that he had said something wrong, but the words had already been said, there was no way to take them back, so he could only continue.

He stared at Duan Li forcefully.

"Don't you dare to say it? Look at me, it's all your fault, your Pearl, do you dare to ask her to come out!"

Duan Li looked at Lord Rong blankly, then knelt down on one knee.

"My lord, what Mr. Pei said is really appalling. Duan Li really can't afford such a crime for killing his son and framing others. I beg your lord to investigate thoroughly!"

Lord Rong didn't ask him to get up, but just asked.

"What's the matter with Pearl, and what has she to do with you?"

"This..." Duan Li hesitated.

"You have nothing to say!" Duan Pei thought he had caught on, and yelled anxiously, "He is your mother's sister's child, and you ordered her to harm me!"

Duan Li stood up and looked at Duan Pei with an expression of indignation and powerlessness.

"Mr. Pei, I don't understand what you mean. You said that I killed the prince and planted it on you, and you said that I harmed you. How can a person do such contradictory things. As for Pearl, who is she? Do not you know?"

"Don't confuse right and wrong there! What does Pearl have to do with me!" Duan Pei said anxiously, "Although I don't know what you did, you did it!"

Duan Li ignored him, but turned to Prince Rong.

"My lord, Zhu'er is a girl from the Zuiwu Building. She also has a younger sister. Two years ago, Mr. Pei accidentally killed Zhu'er's sister in the Zuiwu Building. This matter is easy to find out."

Lord Rong looked at Duan Pei.

"Is there such a thing?"

Duan Pei had long forgotten about it, but Duan Li seemed to be a little impressed by what Duan Li said. Besides, Duan Li would not fabricate such a thing out of thin air.

"I can't remember clearly, but even so, how did you know her and treat her so well? You clearly colluded together to harm me!"

Duan Li sighed.

"How I know her is because of Mr. Pei. Her only sister died, and she wanted revenge. When Mr. Pei went to Zuiwulou, she assassinated you, but I found out and stopped her."

Duan Pei was stunned, had he almost been killed?
"Her life experience is similar to that of my mother, and she did such a thing because of avenging her sister, so I let her go. I'm not afraid that the prince will think too much. I killed his sister for no reason to Mr. Pei. I I'm very dissatisfied. It's just that Mr. Pei is the little master of the palace. I have no right to do anything or say anything. I can only hide this matter and let the girl live. She is very grateful to me. This is the relationship between us. Yes, Duan Li is willing to be punished."

The last sentence was addressed to Lord Rong.

Duan Pei said angrily.

"So you planned to kill me back then! You took advantage of her hatred for me and waited until today to kill me. You are really despicable and shameless!"

Duan Li couldn't take it anymore, he not only raised his voice.

"Mr. Pei, you just said that Zhu'er is the child of my mother and sister, but now you have changed after hearing what I said. It can be seen that you said that I killed the prince to frame you. I don’t need to be so disgusted by my birth, right? Didn’t you humiliate me that night enough!”

When Duan Pei heard the mention of that night, he slapped the table.

"That's what you did on purpose, you did it on purpose!"

"Enough!" Lord Rong shouted loudly.

Duan Pei was stunned for a moment before realizing that the words were scolding him, and he couldn't help but look at his father in fear.

"Father, what I said is true, what I said is true!"

Lord Rong stared at him coldly.

"Let me ask you, you said that Duan Li framed you to kill the crown prince, why do you think so?"

"I, I don't know what he did, but it must be like this!" Duan Pei said with resentment and fear on his face, "The son is dead, and I am sick again, and we all rushed together! And I look like that Zhuer It was him who did it, it was all arranged by him!"

Prince Rong looked at this son and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Leaving aside the truth of the matter itself, even if he was hysterical at this time, he didn't deserve to be his son, let alone the heir of the palace.

It looks good on weekdays, but it becomes like this at a critical moment, that kind of thing is really...

Lord Rong showed a stern look on his face.

"It turns out that everything was based on your imagination. You don't have any evidence that he killed the crown prince, nor that he killed you..."

"No, Father!" Seeing his father say this, Duan Pei felt a chill rushing up, and hurriedly said, "As long as we find that Pearl, everything will be revealed!"

What else did Prince Rong want to say, someone shouted outside.

"Pearl has been found!"

Duan Pei was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said to his father.

"Father, I found it, I found it!" The first one ran out.

Lord Rong looked at Duan Li.

Duan Li took a long breath and said softly.

"It's alright this time, I can finally prove..."

As soon as I said this, I only heard Duan Pei roaring from outside.

"How did people die!"

Duan Li showed surprise and ran out.

Lord Rong was startled, but he walked out unhurriedly, and saw several people standing at the gate of the courtyard, Duan Li and Duan Pei were among them.

"What's going on?" Prince Rong asked as he walked.

Someone rushed over.

"Reporting to the lord, we were ordered by the young master to find Miss Zhu'er in Zuiwu Tower, but she died."

"How did you die?"

"Hanging himself..."

"Fart! He didn't hang himself at all, he murdered and silenced him!" Duan Pei rushed towards Duan Li as he spoke.

Duan Li dodged to dodge, but Duan Pei was so aggressive that he lay on the ground and struggled a few times before getting up. Someone next to him helped him up, but he pushed him away.

"Father, he is the one who killed and silenced!"

"To shut up!"

Prince Rong was also angry and sternly shouted at him.
