"I'll do the trial."
These three words were like steel arrows that broke through the air, awakening the mind.
As Prince Fitz, this statement was in accordance with the rules. Charlotte trembled her lips and could not say anything to object.
The scene was solemn and quiet for a moment, yet there was a hint of awkwardness.
Charlotte held Sent's arm tightly, and said to the king hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this..."
These three light words instantly made Cent realize that his prestige as an emperor was challenged by his son again.
And he was humiliated in front of so many people!
"Fitz! Look at what you're like now. Ever since you've been with this omega, you've become more and more lawless!"
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong." He Huan suddenly said.
Sente was slightly stunned. He had heard about He Huan's boldness before, and now he saw it with his own eyes. This omega was not only bold but also presumptuous!
The onlookers also had the same idea and discussed it privately.
"You really don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."
"Relying on the fact that you are pregnant with the prince's child, you really think of yourself as a member of the Dongnuo Palace."
Sen Te agreed with this statement and said to He Huanqing unhappily, "You have no right to speak here, go away."
"Your Majesty, as a victim, don't I have the right to seek justice?" He Huan walked towards Sent step by step. "You always think that I am acting recklessly because of my status as Fitz, but Your Majesty, since you came to power, you have always advocated loving the people and putting the people first. I was invited to the banquet at the Dongnuo Palace as a commoner. Shouldn't the royal family guarantee my personal safety? Besides, I am pregnant!"
Senter said gloomily: "That's true, but..."
"Your Majesty, someone dared to commit a crime in the Dongnuo Palace again, and even did the evil act of destroying the omega glands. As the master of the Dongnuo Palace, should your Majesty be held responsible for this incident and give me, the victim, a reasonable explanation?"
When has Sente ever been openly questioned, and the one who questioned him was always an omega.
But He Huan's fearless and blazing aura made him unable to refute for a while.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to know who has the guts to commit a crime in Dongnuo Palace? This time it was me, next time it could be an earl or duke." He Huan's tone sank slightly, and he said heavily: "In the end, he may even assassinate you!"
"Your Majesty, he is totally exaggerating!" Charlotte shouted.
"If the princess thinks it's alarmist." Fitz stared at Charlotte with a cold look, pointing at the criminal kneeling on the ground and trembling in pain: "So you mean this person is unimportant? It doesn't matter that he wants to destroy my omega's glands?"
"I am not this..."
"Do you think my child's life or death is unimportant?!" Fitz's repeated questions hit the point every time, leaving Charlotte speechless.
They could pretend to ignore He Huan's request, but they could never ignore a word Fitz said.
The last two words he said, "child", happened to restrain Cent's dissatisfaction.
Although Sente was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with his eldest son, his concern for his grandson was not affected at all. He knew clearly that the little life was already seven months old and would be able to open his eyes and see the world in about two months.
Senter's heart couldn't help but soften, but when he thought that he might lose the chance to meet this child forever, his anger gathered again.
"Seal off the Dongnuo Palace and start the investigation! No one is allowed to leave until everything is clear." After giving this order to the leader of the imperial army, Cent said to Fitz, "Bring the people in."
Charlotte disagreed: "Your Majesty, this is a bit harsh on the guests."
"After living a comfortable life for too long, they have forgotten their identities. Only by being more demanding can they clear their minds." After saying this coldly, Sente turned and walked into the banquet hall regardless of the dissatisfaction of the nobles and politicians.
Charlotte had no choice but to quickly catch up with Sent. For a moment, her steps paused slightly, and she seemed to turn her head slightly to look in a certain direction. But this subtle movement seemed to be an illusion, because Charlotte's figure had already entered the banquet hall.
Still hiding from Hicks and Yalian in the corner, after getting a very suggestive look from Charlotte, the two of them trembled like rats afraid of the light.
The exquisite wooden gun lay in Hicks's trembling hands.
The development of the matter was completely beyond the brothers' imagination. According to the original plan, He Huan would find a lounge to rest because of the discomfort during pregnancy. The murderer arranged by Charlotte would sneak into the lounge to remove He Huan's glands. If necessary, in order to prevent the plan from being exposed, He Huan's life would be ended.
However, He Huan was extremely "uncooperative" with their seemingly perfect plan, and made mistakes one after another. It was as if he had an extra eye behind him, and no matter what they did, he could see through it clearly and crack it in a targeted manner.
"Do we really have to..." Hicks finally didn't dare to say the word "murder".
It's not that he had never killed anyone, nor was he afraid of killing people, and his wooden gun technique was quite good. But he was afraid of killing people in the Dongnuo Palace, under the eyes of the king. Once he fired this bullet, his guilt would never be cleared. As long as he was found to be the murderer, the entire Kaolan family...
"Brother, we have no way out." A desperate smile appeared on Ya Lian's pale face: "The look in the princess' eyes just now told us that this is our only chance."
"The only chance?" Hicks murmured.
"We arranged the people who led Gloria and Cornelia away. It was you who tricked Miss Dexon into colluding with Duke Donnell. If we look into these clues carefully, we will definitely be the ones to be found."
Yalian held Hicks's still trembling hand, her eyes gradually becoming firm: "Now that we have come to this point, are you willing to give up all your efforts?"
"So what do you say?" Hicks heard what he said and knew there was no turning back. Things had developed to this point, and Hicks had no choice. He was not a coward, but rather very ruthless. At this time, he made up his mind, his hands stopped shaking, and his weak legs could stand straight.
"I'll listen to you!"
Ya Lian looked at the crowd that was gradually dispersing and said, "Now is the best time!"
Because of what Sente said, the guests had to stay in the Dongnuo Palace. Now they were scattered in groups of three or five, trying to find a place to kill time.
"It's a good opportunity indeed." Hicks laughed, his eyes suddenly sharp. He raised his arm and aimed the mouth of the gun at He Huan.
This model is specially used for assassination, and the production process is very high. It is in short supply and very expensive. Because this wooden gun has the functions of automatic aiming, changing the range and shooting trajectory, and has strong piercing power.
Especially the one that changes the shooting trajectory, which is simply a powerful weapon for assassination.
For example, if you are standing in the southeast corner opening a wooden warehouse, the other party may trace the source of the sound and run to the northwest, making it impossible to discover the direction of the murderer in the first place.
Hicks had already aimed at He Huan, his index finger slowly pulling the trigger.
Suddenly, Yalian's hand covered Mucang: "Don't kill him, aim at the killer."
Hicks frowned and looked at him: "Why?"
Ya Lian: "He's too evil. Let's not take the risk. We'll have more opportunities to deal with him in the future. Today, we should prioritize dealing with the killer and never let him leak the secret."
Hicks hesitated, he wanted to kill He Huan more. Just seeing this bitch and Fitz's face, the hatred in his heart was like oil frying in a fire, and he could not rest for a moment.
"Brother! As the old saying goes, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. We must see the current situation clearly. The princess is our support in the future, and we must not let her be exposed." Ya Lian slowed down her voice and advised bitterly: "The real intention of the princess's eyes just now should be to make us act rationally."
Hicks gritted his teeth and finally spat, "Okay! I said I'll listen to you!" Then he shifted the aim of the muzzle.
…
Fitz was pushing the prisoner towards the banquet hall. He was so rough that he almost dragged the man away.
He Huan followed beside him, seemingly focused on moving forward, but his eyes were looking around vigilantly.
"Did you find anything?" Fitz was also paying attention to the situation around him.
He Huan: "Not yet, but we must not take it lightly."
According to his guess, the mastermind behind the scenes would definitely not tolerate the prisoner falling into their hands. Once the truth is revealed through torture, no one would dare to bear the king's wrath.
Therefore, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely use all means to kill the criminal and will never let him reveal a single word.
But after being alert for so long, He Huan still didn't find anything unusual. He couldn't help but look at Charlotte in front of him. If there was anyone who wanted to kill him and had the ability to commit a crime in Dongnuo Palace, it would be Cent, Charlotte, and the Cowlan family.
In a confrontation with Sent just now, He Huan kept using rude words to irritate Sent's nerves and prestige. He found that the only thing Sent cared about in this matter was the loss of face, and that he instantly changed his attitude when Fitz said the word "child". From this, he inferred that Sent was not someone who wanted to hurt him.
Charlotte's attitude is worth studying. Her choice of words repeatedly avoids investigating the incident, covers up the responsibility, and blurs the focus.
Finally, there is the Cowran family.
Speaking of which, during the entire banquet, neither of the two brothers of the Kaolan family have been seen. They were clearly invited, but it seemed as if they didn't come. I don't know where they went.
murderous look
He Huan suddenly paused, but soon resumed his natural pace and walked forward. This murderous aura came and went quickly, lasting only a few breaths, as if it was just his illusion.
"What's wrong?" Fitz asked, noticing his slight abnormality.
He Huan shook his head: "Maybe it's my fault..." Before he could utter the word "aware", his sharp five senses suddenly detected something strange.
There seemed to be some sharp whistling sound tearing through the air. He Huan's eyes slid to the corners of his eyes, and a tiny ray of light suddenly appeared in his sight.
Sharp, flashing, rapid rotation...
That's a bullet!
