Liu Pengfei walked out of the bedroom and left the queen's body in the room. The queen wanted to drink poisoned wine to die, but he didn't bring poisoned wine with him, so he finally chose to hang her. It was Yaur who did it, but he watched the whole process from the side, which was not an easy thing. Seeing the beautiful woman calling for help, struggling, and finally her throat was pinched by her own fingers and bloody, Liu Pengfei felt a little guilty.
"Your Excellency, don't think too much. She is lucky that we are the ones to send her to see the gods. If someone else did this, she would have to endure much insult and suffering." Yaur said behind Liu Pengfei.
"Oh, you figured it out?"
"It's normal to think this way. Those of us who often go to the battlefield always imagine how we will die. Everyone hopes to die quickly." Yaur spoke of these things in a relaxed tone, obviously someone who is used to seeing life and death. "It is a better choice to die gloriously in the prime of life than to die in bed because of old age."
"Really? Then I hope I have a better ending." Liu Pengfei said.
"You will get what you want." He threw the rope that the queen was hanged on to him. "I think the princess will need this. This rope has a special meaning to her."
Is this the end of an old era? Liu Pengfei looked at the rope, which was still stained with red. It was the blood left on the queen's neck due to her struggle. He folded it up and put it in his pocket, ready to hand it over to the princess personally. This was also an explanation to the princess. Maybe many years later, it will appear in a museum.
Liu Pengfei and Yaur went to the second floor, but saw Princess Laura coming up with Agudero and others, and with them were several people who looked like ministers of the palace.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Liu Pengfei asked in confusion.
Princess Laura did not answer, but she seemed very angry. It was Agudero beside her who said, "Your Majesty, it was because Mr. Liu Pengfei took out an edict and said it was signed by you personally. That's why I let him in, but then I felt something was wrong, because you said that the queen was placed here to prevent someone from assassinating her and using her death to ruin your reputation. You asked us to protect her well and no one was allowed to visit her. So I came to report to you for verification."
Liu Pengfei was stunned when he heard Agudero's serious nonsense. He knew very well that he had fallen into a trap today, and there was no doubt that there was only one person who could push him to this point, and that was Princess Laura in front of him. In an instant, his clothes on the back were soaked with cold sweat. He reached into his pocket and found a short-distance random teleportation scroll that he had prepared long ago.
Princess Laura nodded seriously. She looked at Liu Pengfei with mockery in her eyes: "You did the right thing. I never let anyone come here. Liu Pengfei betrayed my trust and secretly came to meet the queen."
At this time, Yaur behind him shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Queen was killed by this man! I saw him do it with my own eyes."
Several people around the princess cried out in surprise and rushed to the queen's room.
"Who are you?" asked a rather impressive minister beside the princess.
"My name is Yaur, and I'm a knight of the Royal Guard. I was deceived by this man. He also took out the decree and said that the princess asked me to come here to cooperate with him to do something. I didn't know until I got here that he was here to meet the queen. After entering this small building, I felt something was wrong and refused to go up with him. But then I was worried that he would do something to the queen, so I secretly followed him. However, I was too late and only saw him strangle the queen with a rope!" Yaur pointed to his pocket. You see, that's the rope he used to strangle the queen!"
At this time, one of the people who rushed forward also returned and reported: "Your Highness, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, the Queen was really strangled to death by him."
Liu Pengfei saw that everyone was staring at him and several people dressed as guards had their hands on their weapons. He knew that all of this was a setup and it was useless to say anything. He didn't want to argue at all and rushed directly into the room next door, locked the door, took out the teleportation scroll and began to cast a spell.
But in a panic, Liu Pengfei failed to concentrate the first time he cast the spell, and the spell failed. Before he was halfway through the second time, the door was slammed open. In his peripheral vision, he saw a man waving his hand at the back of his head. His eyes went dark and he lost consciousness. Before he fainted, he heard Yaur's voice: "Your Highness, catch him."
When Liu Pengfei woke up again, he felt cold water all over his face. Water droplets dripped from his hair, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.
He squeezed his eyes hard, trying to see clearly where he was. After a lot of effort, he finally opened his eyes and saw that it was a dungeon, about the size of a living room. The lighting crystals on the wall were a little dim, but they still illuminated the two people in front of him. One was Yaur holding a bucket, and the other was Princess Laura herself.
Yaur woke up Liu Pengfei and walked out of the room, leaving Princess Laura alone in the cell.
The princess held her chin with her hand and watched Liu Pengfei wake up quietly. When he finally looked up at her, Princess Laura said in a helpless tone: "Pengfei, this is the last time I call you that. In fact, I used to like you very much. You are completely different from those other stupid nobles. You are funny, knowledgeable, and you can think of me in many places and help me do a lot of things. Although... with your identity, it is impossible for you to become my prince, but even being a lover is not bad. However, I didn't expect that at such a critical moment, you made a mistake that I can't tolerate, that is betrayal!"
"Betrayal? No! I have always been sincere to you. When did I ever think of betraying you? This is unfair! I have won over many ministers for you, and I have cleared the obstacles for you to become the queen. Now that you have everything, you throw me out like garbage! Who is betraying whom?" Liu Pengfei said excitedly.
"My people have already found out. It was because of your report that Luo Ling participated in the battle that night, causing a lot of chaos in the city. She also attacked the team that was trying to capture Javier, which gave Mei the opportunity to escape with Javier. Do you know how important my dear brother is to me?" The princess' tone gradually turned cold.
