Chapter 99: Chaos in the Palace, Searching for the Murderer

"What did you say?"

Emperor Qing quickly stood up from the bed, flashed to the door of the room, and opened it with his hand.

There was a middle-aged eunuch looking at him with tears in his eyes.

"Say!"

"Who was killed?"

Emperor Qing said with an angry look on his face.

If it weren't for the eunuch in front of him, who had been his companion for many years, he would have taken action long ago.

Anyone who dares to slander that the prince was killed should be punished by death!
The middle-aged eunuch said, "Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Just now, news came from the East Palace that the Crown Prince...he was killed!"

Emperor Qing saw that the middle-aged eunuch in front of him did not seem to be lying.

Moreover, he didn't dare to lie.

Therefore, Emperor Qing was already beginning to feel a little panicked at this moment.

The prince lives in the East Palace and is surrounded by so many guards to protect him, how could he be killed?

Who dares to sneak into the palace at night and kill the prince?
No!

He has to go to the scene to check it out!
"Go ahead, I want to go to the East Palace!"

……

at the same time.

The news of the prince's murder began to spread rapidly throughout the palace.

In Guangxin Palace, Li Yunrui drank a little wine tonight and had already taken off his clothes and went to bed.

Moreover, for some reason, her sexual interest was particularly strong tonight, as if there was an inexplicable excitement in her heart.

So, before going to bed, she took out her gadgets on time, prepared to play comfortably, and then sleep peacefully.

However, when her sexual interest was at its peak, she was interrupted by a palace maid outside the door.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

Li Yunrui was very angry because she hadn't arrived yet. She slammed the tools in her hands heavily on the ground and shouted to the outside:
"You'd better tell me something important, or I'll twist your head off."

The maid outside the door said hurriedly: "Your Highness, the Princess, the... the Crown Prince, has been killed!"

"What?" Li Yunrui was a little confused, thinking that he had misheard, so he asked again: "Who did you just say?"

The maid said, "Yes...it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"He was killed, and now the whole palace is in chaos."

Li Yunrui knew that the palace maid would not lie, so he quickly put on a piece of clothing and walked quickly to the door.

"what happened!"

The maid said in panic: "I don't know the specific situation, please go and take a look."

Li Yunrui pondered for a moment, turned around, changed her clothes, and hurriedly left with the palace maid.

After all, the killing of the crown prince was a major event for the entire Qing Kingdom.

……

At this time, the East Palace was surrounded by many guards.

Not only that, the entire palace was brightly lit.

The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids all got up from their beds and began to search the entire palace.

Especially Yan Xiaoyi and Gong Dian, they were all shocked after learning that the prince had been killed.

When they first heard the news, they thought they had heard it wrong. After repeated confirmation, they dared to go to the East Palace.

After arriving at the scene and seeing the tragic scene, the two of them were so worried that they finally gave up.

Because the person dying in front of him was none other than Crown Prince Li Chengqian!
The death was extremely tragic, half of the face and head were gone, and there was red and white blood lying on the ground, and the ground was full of blood...

Yan Xiaoyi and Gong Dian had never imagined that such a tragic situation would happen in the imperial palace.

"Commander-in-chief, how...how could this happen?" Gong Dian asked in shock.

Yan Xiaoyi laughed and said, "How should I know?"

"It's just dinner, and the sky is falling!" "But now I know one thing."

"That means the two of us are going to die!"

Gong Dian swallowed his saliva, feeling confused.

He felt that what Yan Xiaoyi said was right. This time, the two of them were really going to die.

Originally, an assassin broke into the palace a few days ago. As the commanders of the guards, they failed to perform their duties and did not catch the assassin.

As a result, the prince was killed in the palace. How could they survive?

Maybe all nine clans will be wiped out.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

After hearing the voice, Yan Xiaoyi and Gong Dian, along with the other guards, hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qing followed a middle-aged eunuch and walked quickly towards the Eastern Palace.

When Emperor Qing walked through the crowd and saw the corpse lying on the ground, his expression suddenly changed.

Although the corpse on the ground looked horrific, Emperor Qing could still tell that it was the prince he had trained with great difficulty.

Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment, thinking he was dreaming, and then he reached out and pinched his thigh hard.

Then a wave of pain came.

Emperor Qing has confirmed that he is not dreaming and what is happening at this moment is real.

Emperor Qing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Who did it?"

Gong Dian took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve death."

Emperor Qing turned around abruptly and shouted angrily to Gong Dian in front of him: "I am asking you, who did it!"

"Who is the murderer!"

Emperor Qing still couldn't believe the fact before him.

Who on earth is so bold as to enter the palace and assassinate the prince?

The key was successful!

How could he not be angry!
Gong Dian replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have not found out who the murderer is."

"Hmm?" Emperor Qing looked sideways, staring at Gong Dian in front of him, and asked, "What did you say?"

"The prince was killed, and you didn't even find the murderer?"

"Then what do I want you to eat?"

Gong Dian immediately bowed his head and said, "I deserve to die!"

Just then, a large group of people came from the aisle not far away.

The current empress dowager, queen, and eldest princess all arrived at the East Palace one after another.

The Queen was the first to walk up to Emperor Qing. After looking at the corpse on the ground, tears suddenly flowed out of her eyes. She knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, completely unlike her usual self.

"My son! My son!"

"How did you become like this?"

"Who did this? Who did this?"

The Queen Mother looked at the corpse on the ground with a terrifyingly gloomy expression, as if water could drip out of it.

Even Li Yunrui, who was standing by, was shocked by the scene before him.

It was such a tragic death.

At this time, Emperor Qing walked aside and asked the young eunuch who was in charge of accompanying the prince:

"What were you doing when the prince got into trouble?"

The young eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is none of our business."

"At that time, I was admiring the moon with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and suddenly there was a sound of thunder in the sky."

"Then, His Royal Highness was hit by something and most of his head was gone."

Emperor Qing frowned and said, "You mean, after hearing the loud noise, the prince became like this?"

The young eunuch said, "Yes, that's right."
