Top Giants: Rebirth of the Black-Bellied Wife
Chapter 331: It happened suddenly
Leng Yiyao’s words seemed to suddenly pour a pot of cold water on everyone—an instant divine initiation!
Obviously, it was the discovery of the body of Chief Guard Lu that caused the turmoil. Why, now everyone's thinking turned out to be followed by the two princes to the thousands of miles away.
Facing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, the two grand princes' faces suddenly sank, raised their heads, and looked at Leng Yiyao coldly.
The emperor's coughing sound has been suppressed, but it still passed through the lungs to the ears of several people nearby.
For a while, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was strange, and everyone looked unpredictable, and no one dared to open the deadlock easily.
The two great princes who had the upper hand, saw He Mo calmly leaned against Leng Yiyao's position, and when they came to his mouth, they began to swallow in a pensive manner.
Although the military never interferes with the royal family, if he offends this "Miss Leng" in front of Hemo, I am afraid that he would not look on.
I thought that this masquerade was the best opportunity. By all odds, I didn't expect that the identity behind this "quasi-prince" was so complicated...
The two looked at each other, and finally settled, looking at Lu Chen coldly, without saying a word.
Under the **** of the guard officer, the royal physician rushed all the way, with a panic expression and a flustered expression, apparently caught off guard by the news that the emperor was suddenly unwell.
"Your Majesty!" He rushed in, his face was startled when he saw the emperor's complexion, and ignored the royal family and noble guests around him, he knelt down to diagnose him almost immediately.
"Quick! Move the chair!" The doctor raised his head and looked at the royal guard who was stunned behind him. I don't know why, this group of people, the reaction today is a bit clumsy. However, before he had time to delve into it, he shouted, and then began to lift his majesty's eyes to look at his pupils.
The guards behind him glanced at each other. In the cold smiles of the two grand princes, after all, they quickly moved to the chair according to the instructions of the imperial doctor, and someone got the wet wipes and ice cubes.
The emperor's throat, like a broken bellows, made hoarse sounds, one after another. The imperial doctor leaned over his chest and listened for a while, his expression became more and more cold, and he raised his head and said to the crowd around: "Go away! Get away! Your majesty needs fresh air."
For a time, with the emperor as the center, the crowd quickly dispersed, and the guards hurried to open the windows.
In the warm room, the air suddenly cooled slightly, revealing the cold outside.
Many celebrities hurriedly wrapped their coats and couldn't help shivering.
It's just that no one dared to say a word. Now, your Majesty's body is very important, and he doesn't dare to make an inch without seeing the two grand princes?
Leng Yiyao took advantage of the momentum and also withdrew from the emperor's side. Hemo subconsciously pulled her to his side to help her block the wind.
She raised her head, smiled quietly, and then looked towards the center. Compared with the rest of the audience, the two of them are afraid that they are the two most comfortable looking, and they are indifferent to the good scene.
Even a few students in the special class found out that for a while, I didn't know whether it was because of Leng Yiyao's strong psychological endurance or he had to sigh for the deep feelings of His Royal Highness Lu Chen.
However, compared to Leng Yiyao's relaxed look, the royal family's side was completely undercurrent.
Although the emperor tried his best to maintain his majesty, it was a pity that his slightly rickety back and pale expression made people doubt his physical condition. He buckled his fingertips firmly on the handle of the chair, as if trying to endure the pain, but he couldn't see the slightest from his face. It's like the state where the whole person has not recovered from the dizziness.
A fog...
It is impossible to guess any depth.
The grand princess and the second princess stood behind the curtain, looking nervous, but did not dare to cross the thunder pond. I was afraid that rushing up would affect the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. Now, they will no longer struggle with their children's lawsuits. Whether it is Lu Chen or the eldest princess, it is the blood of the emperor. If the emperor has three strengths and two shortcomings, the two women, in front of the two great princes, can turn the sky over!
"How about Father Father?" Lu Chen was the most anxious person in the audience. At the same time, he was afraid that he was the one who left his identity and cared about his father most. He is different from everyone else in the audience. Even when he was the most arrogant and arrogant as a child, he was favored by his father. Compared to others, he enjoys the most complete family relationship. It is precisely because of this that he can hardly accept that his father, who has been strong in front of others for a lifetime, will show such a fragile look in front of everyone. Lu Chen was calm, and winked at the little princess, making her hurry back behind the curtain and avoid showing up easily.
Royal disputes, he did not want to involve his rare innocent sister. What's more, she has no ability to protect herself at all.
The little princess shrank her neck, realizing that she was a cumbersome now. Without saying a word, she turned around and rushed towards the second princess.
The curtain hung down, and the whole hall recovered a strange atmosphere.
"Your Majesty is irritated and feels unwell." The listener clearly sensed that the Emperor's heart beats abnormally, and the doctor raised his head, but said the cause of the disease in a vague explanation. A sentence of physical discomfort cannot explain anything at all, but at the moment, everyone has to taboo the emperor's body.
"Do you need to be sent to the hospital?" A cold flash flashed between Lu Chen's brows. The imperial doctor had mentioned the cause of the father's disease to him at the time, but after he returned to the imperial capital, he never mentioned it. At the beginning, I thought that it was just a sudden cause of disease, and it would recover slowly if it was properly treated. Who would have expected that it would suddenly break out today.
He watched his father's cold sweat follow his clothes soaking his back, and quietly block behind him to cover his marks.
The imperial doctor was just about to speak, but he felt that the palm of his hand was suddenly held tightly. He immediately trembled in his heart, and his face slowly seemed to be silent: "Not for the time being, your Majesty needs rest now."
The two grand princes looked at the emperor sitting on the chair with a sneer. It was a kind of pride that looked at the old man Mu Ha, who was about to die. "The doctor is about to diagnose it. In case your Majesty has an accident, we will This nephew has to put the blame on us again, we can't afford it."
This is a bit cruel!
It's just that no one dares to refute them at this time.
There are four princes in the emperor’s generation. After the four princes who were most beloved by the old emperor died suddenly, the grand prince and the third prince were successively named grand dukes. In this way, although Jiwei is not as good as his majesty, in the end Much more confident than Lu Chen.
No one from the royal family said anything, naturally because they didn't know how to stand in line right now.
Lu Chen's greatest advantage was the preference of His Majesty the Emperor from beginning to end. This is what everyone sees. If the emperor does not even protect his identity, then it will only be a matter of time before this highness is "abolished".
Who dares to speak for him at this time.
The doctor took a pill from the medicine box and handed it to the emperor's mouth. When the guard saw it, he sent a glass of warm water. Soon, the emperor's face slowly returned to normal. The bellows-like voice gradually returned to stability. Looking around with cold eyes, the light in the eyes was shining, and with a "slap", he dropped the cup beside him to the ground: "I'm not dead yet! One by one, I wish I could make a seat!"
A flash of astonishment flashed across the faces of the two grand princes. One was that he did not expect that in such a short period of time, the emperor would have recovered as before, as if the violent cough just now was like an illusion; the other reason was that he actually said something. This is so open, it is already clear that the matter will be settled tonight.
The two looked at each other, and a question flashed between their eyebrows.
If, just now, the physical discomfort was completely the emperor's pretending to be suspicious and taking advantage of the situation, then have they stepped into the other's trap?
After all, they missed the throne back then, no matter what else, the means are inferior to this brother, it is indeed true!
"Since your Majesty is fine, we are naturally relieved." Grand Duke Lu Chong smiled slightly, and the women around him only felt a ray of light in front of them. Even if they were not young, the charm of the Grand Duke was really irresistible. Grand Duke Lu Yun listened to his brother's words, his beard trembled, but he didn't speak. On Xinyan, his youngest brother is no worse than the emperor. Sure enough, in the next instant, Grand Duke Lu Chong continued: "Since there are no health problems, let's take a good look at the immediate problems. It will always come to light and it will benefit everyone."
The emperor clasped his hands and signaled the imperial doctor to step back slightly. He followed Lu Chen with his gaze, which was better than he expected. At least, in the face of the aggressiveness of the two uncles, he did not have any self-destructive stitches. Although, Leng Yiyao and even Hemo behind her are indispensable among this, but compared with a few months ago, it is indeed different.
He let out a low breath. As long as there is growth...
A darkness flashed across the emperor's eyes, raised his head, and smiled lightly at his two brothers: "Listening to what you mean, how do you want to solve it?"
"Since Lu Chen brought it up and said Guard Lu was dead, let's start with this incident." Grand Duke Lu Chong glanced at the corpse lying on the ground indifferently. Probably because the time of death has been a little longer, and the body is beginning to stiffen. Lying on the ground, the enlarged eyeballs are slightly raised, not to mention that a female family dare not look at it, even the less courageous man. Take one more look.
"For the sake of justice, it is better to ask the police to intervene in this matter tonight." Grand Duke Lu Chong's eyes flashed from behind Leng Yiyao. Although he didn't say a word, everyone knew it in their hearts. The military is in the charge of the marshal alone. Now, he is protecting Leng Yiyao. It is unexpected. Letting a third party intervene is the wisest choice.
Lu Chen was taken aback, but he didn't expect the other party to make this request. Judging from the reaction of the Royal Guard tonight, his two uncles controlled at least some people. At this point, but pushed others to investigate? why? Could it be that the cause of the death of Chief Guard Lu really had nothing to do with them?
His gaze subconsciously followed the faces of everyone in the audience, but in the end, he could not stop at the face of the eldest princess, that is, his eldest sister.
He had never seen the eldest sister's face so ugly, as if she couldn't bear it, and she seemed gloomy.
The eldest princess noticed Lu Chen's gaze, and she bit her lip without a trace, her fingertips clasped tightly, but she kept herself calm. At the death of Guard Lu, the two grand princes “just and rigorously” asked the police to intervene. In view of the fact that the political circles and the royal family only maintained superficial harmony, did not interfere with each other, and ruled out the possibility of private negotiation and collusion, it is no wonder This kind of reason-either, they are not afraid of shadow leaning, they didn't do it at all, let alone being investigated. Or, they did, but they have already touched all traces, and there is absolutely no possibility of being found out.
She looked cold and stood up.
Tonight, Chief Guard Lu's time to show up in front of people is strangely short. Before the ball started, she clearly stood with Guard Lu, watching Lu Chen go to meet Leng Yiyao. At that time, was the scene of the two of them talking in the eyes of those with a heart?
The audience probably did not imagine that the two grand princes would make such a request.
There was an accident at the Royal Prom. It was not an internal investigation, but a request from the political circles to send a police investigation. It was like stating that all the things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains should be cleared and made public!
His Majesty the Emperor slowly lowered his eyes and smiled coldly. After so many years, this pair of jackals and tigers finally waited for such a good time!
What they said clearly sounded selfless, but they pointed at Lu Chen "framing" them, fearing that they were prepared to take this opportunity, or the cause and effect of the fourth brother's "violent death" were "investigated" together.
Looking at the other person's smiling venomous eyes, a shadow flashed between his brows.
"Okay, just do what you said." No one in the audience thought that it was this time that Lu Chen spoke!
His Majesty the Emperor has not yet expressed his position, he actually agreed to the requirements of the two princes?
Many guests just feel like they are in the cloud.
For a moment, with different expressions, they looked at Lu Chen one after another.
He stood beside the emperor and waved his hand: "The emperor is frightened, so he should go back to his room and rest quickly. It is enough to have me here."
Leng Yiyao clearly saw a trace of astonishment flashing across His Majesty's face. The next moment, Lu Chen personally invited his head guard and put His Majesty's hand on his arm: "You **** my father back."
It is clear that he himself stayed to deal with the storm.
But, based on his age, experience, and qualifications, what chance would he have against his two uncles?
Not to mention the members of the royal family, even bystanders like Yunlai, felt that Lu Chen's move was a bit too much.
His Majesty is here, and there is still a barrier for Lu Chen. He personally sent His Majesty back, which would only increase his disadvantage.
Obviously, the emperor himself thought the same way. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly smiled at him when he saw Lu Chen: "Father, some things are just a matter of time, so don't worry."
Succession to the throne had to be considered by the royal family. The wind and rain will come sooner or later, what is the difference between sooner and later.
He could never hide behind his father for a lifetime.
The emperor lowered his eyebrows, and suddenly sighed, without saying a word, he clasped the arm of Chief Guard Lu Chen, turned around, and walked slowly towards his bedroom.
The doctor immediately followed behind with the medicine box on his back....
No one expected that the big prince, who had always been impetuous, grew up to this overnight.
"Call the police." Lu Chen met his uncle's eyes indifferently and ordered the guard to call.
In the banquet hall, almost no one dared to talk aloud.
Soon, the Imperial Police Department, which received the call to the police, immediately sent the most elite team.
Only when people arrived, they realized that this was really a hot potato.
The deceased passed a preliminary examination and died at about eight o'clock in the evening. There were many guests tonight, and all of them were distinguished guests. The monitoring equipment was deliberately dismantled indoors. Only the outdoor monitoring equipment was kept in order to ensure order.
The time when Chief Guard Lu disappeared from the front can be traced back to around 7:30 in the evening.
But during this period, the two grand princes were in the banquet hall, chatting with the guests. Directly committing the crime is obviously excluded.
However, after checking all the video data, except for the princess, it seems that Chief Guard Lu never talked with anyone for more than a minute tonight.
The police officer in charge of the investigation looked suspiciously at the ugly princess. Is this princess who has been squeezed out of the center of royal power really the murderer tonight?
"Princess, for my offense, could you please ask, what exactly did you talk to Captain Lu tonight?" The police officer hesitated for a moment, but he still walked around in front of the princess.
"Free chat, just to say that the dance party tonight is very lively, let him pay more attention to safeguarding the safety of the scene." The princess glanced at the police officer with a calm expression, although the tone was not good, she answered the question cooperatively.
"After that, what else can I say? For example, what did the Chief Guard Lu mention?" Inquiry and investigation was originally a thankless thing. No matter how tactful it is, it sounds like listening to idioms. , The police officer silently glanced at the princess's body movements. Her hands were always clasped together, either extremely nervous or not telling the truth.
"What can he tell me?" The eldest princess snorted coldly, "I've been at the border all the year round, and I am no longer a popular figure in the palace. He is different. As my father's confidant, most of them are flattering, but just talk freely. Two sentences are separated. If you adjust the monitoring, you should know if what I said is correct." Since she attended this banquet, the father and the emperor haven't looked at it twice, obviously she is still worried about the things that year. It happened that the monitoring equipment could read the conversation between her and Chief Guard Lu. It is no longer realistic to shirk. Now that the dirty water falls on her head, she is more irritable than anyone. "It was too early for me to talk to him and leave. It's been at least half an hour to kill. Why don't you check, the abnormality of the party a few minutes before his death tonight?"
As soon as these words fell, everyone's eyes instantly moved to Leng Yiyao. If it is said, the biggest change tonight is this female partner who was invited by the Great Highness as the opening dance.
It's just that she is basically in the focus of everyone's sight tonight. What's more, the black-clothed man with the platinum mask has always been around, who dares to guess about her?
but……
Thinking of this, everyone, especially the members of the orchestra, was slightly taken aback.
In such a short period of time, the police officer keenly discovered that their expressions were wrong, and immediately asked the band chief: "Is there anything abnormal?"
The chief is a man in his forties, he pondered for a moment, and then he said: "Tonight, someone is playing the piano on the second floor. It happens to be around 7:30."
As his voice fell, the expressions of sixteen guards changed suddenly!
At that time, they were ordered to check on the second floor. When they opened the suite, they clearly heard the sound of the piano at the last moment, but at the next moment, they only saw Leng Yiyao and the man in black with a platinum mask standing on the piano five. At the meter, and in front of the piano chair, there was no one--
"A pianist will be invited to perform tonight?" The police officer apparently noticed the strangeness and asked again.
The orchestra member and the royal waiter in charge of the reception tonight shook their heads almost at the same time: "No."
If you want to arrange a piano performance, it should be placed in the banquet hall on the first floor, not in the suite on the second floor.
"Check the import and export monitoring equipment and see if there is that pianist besides the guests." The police officer's expression sank slightly, coming and going without a trace? This kind of person is by no means an ordinary person. The point is, suddenly appeared, just to play a song? This kind of thing is totally illogical. Moreover, the appearance of a pianist is too coincidental. Was it to draw everyone’s attention that the piano sounded deliberately to draw everyone’s attention so that they could hide their bodies in the banquet hall?
Everything is like falling into a fog, and you can't see the truth at all.
Leng Yiyao suddenly lowered her eyes.
Thinking of M's coming and going in a hurry.
When we met at the viewing restaurant last time, she could not have read the burly men in black who followed him. The scorpion tattoos on her body were as fake. But this time, in the box on the second floor, it is clear that there are no more eyes for "surveillance" in the name of "protection". Did he finally get rid of those people, or those few people no longer exist?
Being able to come and go freely in the palace, is M's appearance tonight a coincidence, or is it really related to the guard Lu...
Her gaze fell on the face of the princess again, paused for a second, and then moved away blankly.
In her opinion, the eldest princess is definitely not as innocent as she seems. There must be something she did not explain clearly.
However, it really worked.
The people who went to check the closed-circuit television and surveillance came to reply quickly: "Except for the guests, no outsiders appeared."
This is amazing.
M even avoided the safety equipment of the palace, and there was no trace of entering and leaving the palace!
Leng Yiyao slowly curled her lips and looked out the window with a strange expression.
That silver-haired and silver-eyed man, as expected, hides an extraordinary secret behind his back...
"What was the cause of the death of Chief Guard Lu?" Lu Chen, who had not said anything, suddenly spoke. When everyone felt that the pianist's behavior was unpredictable, he was the only one who asked this question.
"Suffocation." The autopsy took off his gloves, glanced at the crowd briefly, turned towards the body of Chief Guard Lu on the ground, and pointed at his neck: "I was strangled by someone and crushed his throat, and died of suffocation."
"Can you investigate fingerprints?" Lu Chen glanced at the corpse. As expected, there was a bruise between his neck.
The autopsy officer shook his head: "The other party wears gloves, so you can't compare fingerprints." However, judging by the strength and height, the man must have done it. Moreover, it is a killer move.
It is self-evident how skilled Guard Lu was to be able to sit on the position of the emperor's first chief guard. Being able to put him to death in one move, it can be seen that either he was too familiar with him and he was not at all guarded, or his skill should be so horrified that he could make the first royal guard at all. There is no power to fight back....
For a time, the entire venue fell into a kind of terrifying surprise.
"His Royal Highness, you recently investigated the affairs of the Royal Airport with Chief Guard Lu. Did you find anything unusual about him?" A surprise flashed between the police officer's eyebrows, and he decided to throw out all the questions.
Lu Chen looked at the two uncles with natural expressions, with a cold expression: "He did find some clues to the airport accident, but he has not found evidence yet."
The witnesses are all dead and there is no evidence. Even if it is clear who 80% of the perpetrators of the airport accident are responsible, the credibility has been greatly compromised now.
After all, the two grand princes placed the sudden death of the four princes there and took the lead. If he does not have strong evidence, in the eyes of others, his accusation against the two uncles could only be dirty water, which has no practical meaning.
As a result, the police officer fell silent.
A pianist who appeared strangely and mysteriously disappeared, an eldest princess who refused to tell the truth, plus two elders who had ulterior motives and full of confidence, the police officer rubbed his eyebrows, and looked at the unmoved majesty. I must sigh deeply for him, this royal ball is simply coming to him!
"Your Majesty, there are too few clues. I suggest that the body of Guard Lu be returned to the police station first, and the case will be analyzed after further autopsy." Tonight's "witness" and "suspect" are all too special, he will not So stupid to ask the other party to enter the police station to assist in the investigation. The scene was a dance party, even if it was preserved, there were not many traces to check. The most important thing is that they don't know where the first murder scene is. This case is extremely tricky.
Facing this request, Lu Chen did not nod or shook his head, looking into the distance with a cold expression. Seems to meditate on something. At this moment, even the second princess could not see what his son really thought.
Kings Camp has been standing at the corner of everyone's sight. Tonight, since Leng Yiyao appeared, his sight has been on Leng Yiyao. At the very beginning, it was the opening dance between her and Lu Chen. Among all the celebrities and powerful prying eyes around him, his eyes were the calmest one. Because he had seen His Royal Highness Lu Chen standing at the gate of the military academy at night, personally picking her up and leaving. As a man, he clearly understood Lu Chen's feelings for Leng Yiyao. He was not surprised by this. After all, such a woman is too strange in the empire. Even if he wandered around the world since he was a child, in war-torn countries and borders, he has never seen such a contradictory and dangerous woman. For the prince who grew up in a comfortable environment, Leng Yiyao's The fatal attraction can be imagined.
Later, he was even less surprised when he saw the black man with a platinum mask appeared. After all, the Marshal could even do things like "inspecting" the military academy for her, and attending a dance together was nothing.
However, what he didn't expect was that Leng Yiyao actually did a wall view. Seeing that Lu Chen is now embarrassed on all sides, he didn't even make a direct shot?
He frowned, a trace of puzzlement flashed under his eyes. why?
While he was puzzled, he seemed to inadvertently walked not far from the body of Chief Guard Lu and glanced down. The autopsy officer was putting "him" in the autopsy bag. Although it was very small, with the slight circulation of air, he clearly smelled a faint smell of gunpowder...
