Prince Nan Huai stood up hastily, "Brother, I brought these people into the palace. They are the ones who assassinated you that day."
The regent raised his lips with a hint of sarcasm, "The one who assassinated me?"
Prince Nan Huai said suddenly, "That's right. After I returned to the capital, I started investigating the assassination of my brother. God has finally helped me find the murderer."
Prince Nan Huai looked at the Queen Mother and said, "We found a letter from the mastermind behind the murderer and have handed it to you, Queen Mother."
When he said this, he stared at the Crown Prince and Taifu Liang fiercely. His expression was completely different from what it was just now. He was full of anger and hatred. Just from his eyes, the ministers could guess that the Crown Prince and Taifu Liang were the assassins.
I cannot seize the power to govern the country today, but with the letter in the hands of the Empress Dowager, I can disintegrate some of Taifu Liang's power.
He believed that Murong Jie would definitely make the letter public. He must have known that the assassin was sent by Taifu Liang, and he would never let the person who tried to assassinate him go.
Murong Jie looked at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, then handed him the letter with a pleading look in her eyes.
Murong Jie took it and took a look. Everyone was looking at him, including the Queen. The Queen's heart was in her throat, and her heartbeat was so rapid that even Zi'an, who was sitting next to her, could hear it.
Prince Nan Huai looked at Murong Jie with pride, waiting for him to send someone to verify the handwriting.
No matter what happens today, he will not be a loser and will definitely gain something.
However, Murong Jie did something that no one could have expected. He tore up the letter and handed it to Zi'an, "Throw it away later."
"Yes!" Zi'an clenched his hands. She was also a little surprised. She thought he would take the opportunity to teach Master Liang and the Crown Prince a lesson, but she didn't expect that he would tear up the evidence like this. He missed a great opportunity. Did he know
Zi'an was a little confused about him. With his brain, how could he not think of the benefits of leaving this letter
Murong Jie said calmly, "Nonsense. This letter has the seal of the Grand Tutor, but I am familiar with the Grand Tutor's handwriting. This letter is a forgery."
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, and even the Queen reached out to hold the table, her heart at ease.
Prince Nan Huai's expression suddenly turned ugly. He stared at Murong Jie for a long time, then suddenly turned around and said sternly, "Bring them up here, and let the prince interrogate them thoroughly. Make them confess the mastermind behind this."
Murong Jie looked at him, his eyes as cold as ice hanging from the eaves in winter, "Nonsense, don't you see there are distinguished guests here? This is such a trivial matter, we can slowly review it later. What is more important than renewing the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"
Prince Nan Huai stepped forward and said, "Brother, diplomatic relations between the two countries are important, but to assassinate the regent is to have evil intentions and to subvert the court. Besides..."
Before Prince Nan Huai could finish his words, he heard miserable screams behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw the assassins lying in a pool of blood.
Everyone was shocked. Some women even screamed and covered their faces, not daring to look.
Madam Linglong and Xia Wan'er were also terrified. These living people suddenly died, with blood splattered far away. The death was horrible. Who did it
Murong Jie said with disgust: "Drag him away, don't dirty the hall and disturb my distinguished guests."
"Yes!" The palace guards hurriedly dragged the body away.
King Nan Huai's face became particularly ugly at that moment. He slowly turned his head to look at Murong Jie, his eyes red, and an undisguised hatred and resentment slowly emerged in that red. His face was slightly distorted, but he smiled gently, a very feminine and cruel smile.
Zi'an has seen many cruel and ruthless people in his previous life and this life, but he has never seen a vicious face with such rich expressions. Every pore and even cell on his face is expressing one message, that is, I can never coexist with you.
He bowed, cupped his hands, and stepped back step by step. The evil smile on his face did not diminish at all, but became even stronger. "Okay, I will take my leave!"
Without getting entangled or making trouble, he just turned around and left, giving people the illusion that he had never been there.
Taifu Liang secretly rejoiced that he had escaped the disaster.
He watched the back of Nan Huai Wang turning away, knowing that the one Nan Huai Wang lost today was a master under his command, who died quietly in the palace. How could he explain this to the people outside? If he guessed correctly, he would bring these people into the palace tonight, and after they confessed, he would have a way to protect them.
However, several people who entered the palace now are all dead. They were all people from the martial arts world. The dead are not important. What is important is the sects and allies behind the dead. I am afraid that these people will not be easily used by him again unless a higher price is paid.
Who killed these assassins just now? Murong Jie was sitting in the hall, Xiao Tuo and Su Qing were also sitting far away from the assassins. Except for Ni Rong standing aside, there were almost no people from the Regent here. How did he do it
The question raised by Taifu Liang was also the question raised by many princes and ministers present.
Zi'an knew that she was sitting next to Murong Jie and saw him dip his finger into the wine in the glass. He flicked his finger and the wine drops flew out very quickly. These drops of wine passed through the assassin's heart and spurted out blood, killing them all in an instant.
At that moment, her heart was shocked. She didn't expect Murong Jie's martial arts to be so powerful.
However, despite his high martial arts skills, he was seriously injured that night. This shows that the ambush that night was intended to kill him, and the master hired by the person behind the scenes must be a top-notch one.
This shows how dangerous that night was.
He killed several people while chatting and laughing as if it was nothing special. After killing them, he still looked calm as if he didn't notice anything. Zi'an asked herself that in her eight years as a special agent military doctor, she had never seen anyone with such an iron-fisted method.
Killing is the most effective deterrent method, and at least it can allow the two countries to continue to sign the alliance.
After Prince Qi signed the treaty, Murong Jie ordered his men to escort him and the envoys out of the palace, saying that he was exhausted from the long journey to the capital.
Prince Qi knew what he was going to do. What happened next had nothing to do with him, and it was not appropriate for him to be present, so he said goodbye and left.
After Murong Jie sent Prince Qi away, he said to the Empress Dowager, "Mother, it's getting late. Let Eunuch Sun take you back to the palace to rest."
After saying this, without waiting for the Empress Dowager to speak, he directly ordered Eunuch Sun, "Send the Empress Dowager back to the palace."
Eunuch Sun replied, "Yes!"
He helped the Empress Dowager to stand up, and all the officials knelt down to see her off.
The prince also stood up, bowed, and then sat down.
He was really unhappy tonight, he thought everything was within his grasp, but he didn't expect that first King Nan Huai would appear and then Murong Jie would come back, making his hopes dashed. He didn't have a deep hatred for King Nan Huai, he just disliked and looked down on him. He really hated Murong Jie because he believed that Murong Jie was the only obstacle for him to ascend the throne.
Even after what happened just now, he still thought so.
Zi'an held a glass of wine in his hand and took a sip slowly, trying to look calm and composed to hide the turmoil in his heart.
Because Murong Jie had already shifted his gaze to the prince.
As expected, Murong Jie asked the prince, "I heard that the prince visited me in the palace when I was recovering from my injuries, is that right?"
