Xiao Chengyi squinted his eyes, looked at them and asked: "I said that I murdered the third prince, what evidence do you have?"
The eldest prince pointed to the steel nail he was holding and said: "Isn't this the evidence in your hand? We have all seen it. You took this steel nail from the third brother's horse. You clearly want to destroy it."
evidence."
Xiao Chengyi chuckled: "Then I would like to ask the two princes, how did you come here by such a coincidence?"
The eldest prince said: "I was ordered by my father to see if the goddess needed help, but on the way I met a team escorting my third brother, and I learned that my third brother accidentally fell off his horse and died.
But the third brother has always been good at equestrian skills, so why did he fall off the horse and lose his life? It turns out that it was you, the regent, who secretly murdered my third brother."
Xiao Chengyi snorted: "Why did I want to murder the third prince?"
The eldest prince was stunned by his question for a moment. There must be a motive for murder, and it cannot be justified without a motive.
He looked up and saw Xuan Du not far away, and thought of a reason for him: "The regent and Lan Du have already been in cahoots with each other, right? If you kill your third brother, you will kill a competitor, right?"
Xiao Chengyi nodded: "In that case, wouldn't you two be able to survive?"
The eldest prince was shocked. He took a step back and pointed at Xiao Chengyi with a frightened look: "What do you want to do? I tell you this is Mobei, not a place where you can run wild."
Mu Yun'an really couldn't stand it anymore. These two people framed Xiao Chengyi indiscriminately, and he didn't know what their intention was.
She stood up and said: "Do you know the consequences of slandering the regent?"
When the eldest prince saw Mu Yun'an, his expression softened a little, and he said: "It's not that we slandered the regent, but that he was suspicious. If the regent didn't put the hidden weapon, how could he find it?"
Mu Yun'an said: "We just suspected that the death of the third prince was not simple, so we came to investigate clearly. If it is suspicious, I think you are more suspicious.
How come it is such a coincidence that you all came here right after the death of the third prince? It is said that it is under the king's will. Did you ask for this decree yourself, or is it the king's intention? It will be clear to you when you return to the royal court."
The eldest prince looked a little unhappy when he heard what she said. He said: "I know that the regent is your husband, but as the goddess of Mobei, you cannot rely on your identity to protect the murderer."
Mu Yun'an sneered: "Since you know that he is my husband, you should understand the consequences of offending me.
You must know that one word from me can determine your life or death. If you don't believe it, we can try it."
The eldest prince's face froze. He believed that Mu Yunan did have this ability, but the purpose of his coming here today was not to punish Xiao Chengyi.
He smiled and immediately changed his face and said, "Goddess, may I take a step to speak?"
Mu Yun'an said: "If you have anything to say here, why does the eldest prince have any dirty secrets?"
The eldest prince frowned. He took a few steps forward and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to turn this matter into a big deal. As long as the goddess expresses her position, I will naturally not pursue it."
"oh?"
Mu Yun'an raised his eyebrows and asked, "The eldest prince might as well speak frankly."
The eldest prince coughed lightly and whispered: "As long as the goddess can say a few kind words for me in front of my father and let me get the position of the prince, I will be very grateful."
After hearing this, Mu Yunan finally understood. It turned out that sparing such a large circle was the real intention of the eldest prince.
She smiled and said: "Well, it's not impossible. As long as you make amends to my husband and apologize that you wronged him, I will definitely recommend you as the crown prince in front of King Mobei."
The eldest prince's eyes lit up: "Okay, the goddess must not break her promise."
Mu Yun'an said: "If I break my promise, your Immortal God will definitely punish me."
The eldest prince believed her words. He turned around and was about to apologize to Xiao Chengyi when he heard Mu Yun'an say: "Wait a minute."
