Chapter 0424 The beginning of chaos, assassin Bai Xiaofei!
Qing Lingyan remembered that no one knew what happened last night, but Bai Xiaofei was destined to be unable to fulfill his promise when he woke up the next day.
The crown prince sent someone over again to invite him, saying that he had something important to discuss, and he seemed quite anxious.
There was no other way, Bai Xiaofei could only simply clean up and follow the person who led the way into the palace.
However, after entering the palace gate, Bai Xiaofei was left alone for a whole morning. No one took him further, and he was not allowed to leave. He was just put in a small room.
It was not until noon that Bai Xiaofei saw someone he knew.
Manager Fan was in a panic.
"Little brother Bai, you've been waiting for a long time, come with me."
As he spoke, Manager Fan took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, as if he had done something that made him very tired.
"Manager Fan? Isn't it the prince who wants to see me? Why did you come to pick me up?"
After a slight pause, Bai Xiaofei did not follow immediately, but asked with a suspicious look on his face.
It is impossible not to doubt it. One thing Bai Xiaofei dares to guarantee is that if no accident happens, Gu Heng will not dare to let him wait for so long!
When asked by Bai Xiaofei, Manager Fan's face became more cautious. After making sure that no one around could hear him, Manager Fan carefully approached Bai Xiaofei.
"The emperor was suddenly critically ill. The prince was called to the dragon bed. Although there was an imperial edict as proof, he was worried that the succession to the throne would change. The prince and the emperor talked behind closed doors for a whole morning. You were called here before the prince entered. Specifically, you were called.
I don’t know the purpose, but I can guarantee that it is something big and a good thing!”
Manager Fan said, with a flattering expression on his face.
As an emperor and a courtier, if Bai Xiaofei really played a big role in the succession of the throne, then his words would have extra weight.
Therefore, the posture in front of Mr. Fan looked like he was looking for a way out for himself.
However, there was a hint of sharpness in Bai Xiaofei's eyes.
Manager Fan is lying!
If he hadn't seen what Manager Fan was like when he was afraid of death, Bai Xiaofei might have been fooled. The state in front of him was exactly the same as when he was kidnapped that day.
If the emperor is critically ill, it cannot threaten Manager Fan's life or death, so he is obviously experiencing something else now!
"Mr. Fan, wait a minute. I didn't expect the matter to be so big before I came here. I need to go to the toilet to calm down."
Bai Xiaofei looked excited and worried, and ran out as he spoke.
After Bai Xiaofei left, Manager Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, but the worry on his face deepened.
"Let's go, Manager Fan."
It didn't take long for Bai Xiaofei to return. Under the leadership of Manager Fan, Bai Xiaofei walked all the way to the emperor's palace.
Along the way, there was nothing weird about it.
You said that the prince is preparing nervously, so why don't you see any action by the imperial guards? Why are there so few palace maids and eunuchs coming and going when the emperor is critically ill?
There were loopholes everywhere, but Bai Xiaofei did not try to expose them, but followed Manager Fan honestly.
In other words, Bai Xiaofei here can't see so many things...
"Brother Bai, the emperor and the prince are inside. Just go in and I will guard you outside."
Manager Fan's face was full of smiles, and he seemed to be particularly respectful to Bai Xiaofei.
"Um."
Bai Xiaofei responded softly and pushed the door open. There was no eunuch or maid in the room, but there was a faint smell of blood filling the room.
Turning around, the emperor was leaning against his bed with a dagger stuck in his chest. The blood flowing out had solidified. He looked like he had been dead for at least several hours.
"Someone is coming! Someone has assassinated the Holy One!!!"
Manager Fan's frightened voice came from outside the door. Soon, the nearby guards rushed over immediately, and the noisy voice rang outside the door.
However, "Bai Xiaofei's" only reaction was to smile slightly, and then with a flash of light, his figure completely disappeared into the palace.
At the same time, Bai Xiaofei, who had already touched the prince, touched the head of the waiter who was called back by him. The prince, who looked nervous, swallowed his saliva.
"Brother Bai, my father, he..."
The prince hesitated to speak, and Bai Xiaofei shook his head helplessly.
"My condolences."
After uttering three words calmly, the prince was stunned on the spot for an instant. In a daze, he fell straight backwards.
The Crown Princess who was standing by the side nervously supported him. Bai Xiaofei stepped forward and pinched the Crown Prince's veins, and Yuanli was injected into the Crown Prince's body.
It is indeed not pretending, the fire attacks the heart, and the blood is blocked...
Youyouxing turned around, and the prince's face was full of sadness. He just sat on the steps without saying a word, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
"Although it's not a good thing to say this, now is not the time for you to feel sad. Since someone dares to attack the emperor, it means that he has prepared all the follow-up matters. If you don't want the throne to fall to the king, kill your father.
If you are in someone else's hands, you can finally cheer up now."
Bai Xiaofei said lightly, with a hint of sympathy in his voice.
It is said that we envy the nobles and nobles, but is it really worthy of envy for someone who doesn't even have time to grieve after the death of a close relative?
I don’t know about others, but Bai Xiaofei wouldn’t envy this.
Compared with the so-called powerful position, he values the people around him more...
"Yes, Brother Bai, you are right, I want to cheer up!"
Gritting his teeth tightly, the prince wiped away his tears and stood up, with a hint of calmness in his red eyes.
"No matter what, I am the prince now. My father has passed away, so I should take charge of the government. No one can criticize this!"
After the prince cheered up, the happiest person was none other than the princess beside him.
If the prince succeeds in inheriting the throne, then her status will really become that of one person and above ten thousand people...
"Yes, you have to stand up, because I still have a problem here that I want you to deal with."
With a wry smile, Bai Xiaofei had a hint of helplessness on his face.
"What trouble?"
The prince looked at Bai Xiaofei nervously, his voice full of concern.
It's okay for anyone else to have an accident, but Bai Xiaofei can't! Now Bai Xiaofei's status in the heart of the prince must definitely be higher than that of the princess behind him...
"I am a person who was promoted to 'Assassination'. If I cannot be cleared before the matter spreads, then Prince, you will really have to fight alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the prince suddenly realized.
"What's so difficult about this? You've always been here with me, so there's no chance of assassination."
As the prince said, Bai Xiaofei's heart calmed down a lot.
Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise even the prince would not be able to save him. This alibi is very crucial...
"Report!!!"
The two were talking about a key point when the shouts of the prince's guards suddenly came in.
It’s coming, it’s time for everyone to show off their magical powers!
