This masquerade ball was not originally a simple concubine selection dinner. Lu Chen lowered his eyes and stared straight at the widened eyes of Captain Lu. The stunned and dull eyes clearly revealed that he was unable to fight back at all and then fell to the ground slumped.
Who dares to attack the first captain of the bodyguard responsible for security at a royal ball
Who is it that can calmly walk up to Guard Captain Lu until he is sure to hit with one blow and there is no possibility of fighting back
He raised his head and glanced at everyone in the audience coldly.
First of all, this must be an acquaintance.
Only in this way can he pass all the checks, attend this dinner, and get close to Guard Captain Lu without him being on guard.
Lu Chen's eyes suddenly focused in two directions, his expression subtly stopping there, motionless.
If it can be said that Captain Lu's move that attracts the most attention right now is his role in investigating the Royal Airport case.
He had just revealed to himself that the person involved either died mysteriously or there were clues hidden behind it.
First, Captain Yang, the exclusive person in charge of the Royal Air Lines, hanged himself at home without saying a single word before his death. First of all, the background check shows that he was an orphan since he was a child and was adopted by the royal family.
The other two, one of whom was the chief service officer of the terminal, entered the VIP channel in advance on the morning of the accident and went to the cabin specifically. There was also a security inspector who said he caught a cold and had a stomachache the night before, and he hurriedly went to the bathroom several times in one day. As a result, after the plane burned into rubble, the two of them disappeared without a trace.
Clues had been found and evidence had been obtained, but now, just as they were about to expose it, the most critical witness died!
He looked sinisterly at his uncle and the Third Emperor's Uncle, who were standing in the east and west, talking to others. No matter who did it, they had mastered the timing perfectly. Just before he launched his attack, he directly blocked the captain of the Lu Guards. From then on, those secret investigation hours rotted in the stomach of the dead. How convenient!
"Why are you always looking at me?" Lu Chen's gaze was so sharp that people around him quickly discovered the doorway. Grand Duke Lu Yun, His Majesty the Emperor's only biological brother, frowned and looked at Lu Chen with dissatisfaction.
There was sudden confusion all around.
The royal family has been in internal strife for a long time, and no one dares to speak easily and stir up troubled waters. However, with eyes and ears in all directions, tonight's drama seems to have truly reached its most fascinating point. His Majesty the Emperor has made it clear that he will give way to His Highness Lu Chen to establish his authority. However, if the eldest prince cannot solve the mystery in front of him, he will immediately fall into the inferior position. Before His Highness Lu Ming died, it was just that he was outclassed by his younger brother. Now if he is defeated by others again In comparison, this throne is probably really in danger...
"uncle". Lu Chen wiped away all the expressions on his face, smiled faintly, and said calmly, "I'm just a little curious. Before the party started, Captain Lu once checked the guest list with you. Now, he died at the banquet, but you don't know anything about it. Not surprised."
He said this sentence slowly and without any waves, but his eyes were fixed on Grand Duke Lu Yun's expression, never relaxing at all.
Be well-founded and calm, the key is to do it right.
Leng Yiyao couldn't help but chuckle as she recalled the time when a female assassin at the gas station on the way back to the Empire in D city could suddenly change his color.
After seeing each other for three days, treat each other with admiration. In this muddy royal hunting ground, Lu Chen was indeed completely different from before.
Someone suddenly grabbed the waist behind him and rubbed it with his fingertips, making it itch slightly.
Leng Yiyao was helpless. She was seeking truth from facts. Did a certain marshal react too much
While feeling the smoothness on his fingertips, Helmer looked around and looked at the confrontation between Lu Chen and his uncle.
Even before she came, she had been reminded that something would happen tonight. What's so good about this kind of internal fighting? The key is, Lu Chen's conduct... He moved his eyes away and looked at Lu Chong, who was standing in the distance and turned a blind eye to everything in front of him. This character had almost brought the emperor down from the throne. Lu Chen was able to directly ask his uncle because of his character. He is known for his fiery temperament, but if he were to face off against the Third Emperor Uncle, who was known for his poisonous snake personality, it might not be so easy to find a breakthrough.
"I'm not surprised. It's worth looking at again and again. Are your eyes fixed on me?" Grand Duke Lu Yun grinned, his beard trembling slightly on his lips: "Joke!"
Suddenly there was a loud roar of rage, and he glared at Lu Chen with a look of contempt on his face: "But a royal guard has died, do I still have to mourn for him?"
Although Grand Duke Lu Yun’s words were vulgar, they were not rough!
Indeed, so what if the Royal First Guards Chief is not just a slave in front of the real royal family
died? After his death, there are still thousands of people frantically trying to fill his position. Will it have any impact on them, the royal family
"Uncle, aren't you afraid that the murderer is still hiding here and will strike again?" Lu Chen did not dodge, his eyes sharp. He knew better than anyone that this was his uncle's "straightforward approach". Compared with the Third Emperor's uncle who "plans before taking action", the eldest uncle is the one who is more impulsive. Once the incident at the Royal Airport is found out, it will be impossible to overturn it. In comparison, killing a lot of people is nothing, even if it involves turmoil on the night of the royal ball, it is nothing. In order to ensure the privacy of the guests and the royal demeanor, all the closed-circuit cameras in the room were removed tonight. No one has any ironclad evidence to prove who killed Captain Lu.
"I am a straightforward and bold person, and I am never afraid of villains." Unexpectedly, facing Lu Chen's aggressiveness, Grand Duke Lu Yun did not get angry. On the contrary, he smiled happily and pointedly.
"Villain?" Lu Chen frowned, wondering for a moment what mystery he was selling.
"Then I have to ask our Emperor. This scene in front of me looks so familiar. Does it feel like we have seen him before?" Grand Duke Lu Yun chuckled and glanced at the ugly-looking Emperor with an extremely malicious expression. "Third brother, don't just sit back and watch. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, so why bother trying to avoid it!"
As soon as the voice fell, many people in the entire hall who knew the past suddenly had their eyes turned cold, their expressions trembled slightly, and their expressions turned serious.
"In front of juniors, I don't want to talk too much about the past. However, now that the words have been spoken, some things should be mentioned." The lazy Grand Duke Lu Chong pushed away the beauties around him with a mocking look on his face. , looked straight at His Majesty the Emperor with a stiff expression.
Lu Chen turned to his father with slightly confused eyes, not knowing what they were talking about. It was obviously him who was questioning the other person, why did each of them look like their father was hiding something
"Maybe His Majesty the Emperor is busy with everything, and many things have been forgotten." Grand Duke Lu Chong smiled. At first, he and his eldest brother were able to be named Grand Dukes. On the one hand, the emperor's power could not suppress them both at the same time. On the other hand, Isn't it the result of mutual testing and compromise
The blood and filth hidden behind this seemingly infinite throne are far beyond the eyes of the world.
The emperor's face became more and more ugly, and he stared at his only brother with a deep expression. He no longer had the brother-in-law and brother-in-law he had been before.
"Since Lu Chen doesn't know, I'll tell you for you." Grand Duke Lu Yun was much more impatient than his third brother. He didn't bother to beat around the bush and pointed directly at the body of Captain Lu and said, "At the beginning, the four of us brothers Your imperial grandfather's favorite is your fourth uncle. Everyone inside and outside the palace can see clearly that our father prefers the youngest son. Unfortunately, according to tradition, minors cannot establish heirs, so everyone understands this tacitly. , only one piece of edict was missing. Unfortunately, your fourth emperor's uncle's fate was not good. At his eighteenth birthday party, his captain of the bodyguard was hanged from the beam of the banquet hall. That day, he was too frightened, and soon after Suddenly contracted a mysterious illness and died suddenly!"
The last four words were spoken so loudly that everyone in the room was stunned.
Leng Yiyao stood beside him leisurely, listening with great interest.
This is very interesting.
Also at the banquet, it was also the royal captain of the bodyguard who died.
A fourth prince, who had been groomed by the emperor as his heir since childhood, would be "excessively frightened" by the death of his own bodyguard
It's better to lie to ghosts.
Getting a mysterious disease is the most critical part!
Shortly after the death of the captain of the guard, the master he served, as if infected with something unknown, immediately followed him and died suddenly.
Leng Yiyao rubbed her chin and looked at the livid-faced Emperor with profound eyes. The person who died this time was Guard Captain Lu. On the one hand, the murderer used it to stir up trouble and destroy the evidence at the Royal Airport. On the other hand, Is this an insinuation that the royal lord will soon die
"You're talking nonsense!" The little princess got excited and immediately jumped out and stood in front of her father. No matter how others slandered her, she did not believe that these words were true. Why, even though the emperor's brother will be able to legitimately succeed to the throne soon, these people are never willing to give up.
"How presumptuous!" Grand Duke Lu Yun and Grand Duke Lu Chong looked at the little princess with disdain at the same time: "When will it be your turn to comment on royal matters!" A female class dared to interrupt when they were talking! Where did the tutor come from!
Lu Chen blocked the little princess behind him with an ugly expression. What he could see was her slightly shaking shoulders. Unfortunately, there was no possibility of comfort at the moment.
Even he himself was caught off guard by the sudden revelation of old news.
Uncle and third uncle, it was obvious that they were going to break up with their father in front of many guests.
Now, the cause of the death of Captain Lu is no longer the focus. They have clearly rewinded the events in front of them to many years ago. If they bring up the old things again, they must have a plan!
"Your Majesty the Emperor, do you believe in 'retribution'?" Grand Duke Lu Chong smiled slightly, but his eyes were sharp and sinister, as if he was telling a fairy tale: "Back then, the person who harmed our fourth brother has been so proud of himself for so many years. I'm afraid Even if my brother meets the true God, he will not rest in peace. After all, reincarnation is destined, what do you think?"
This, this is more than just a hint!
It was clearly an insinuation that the death of the fourth prince back then was clearly the fault of the emperor.
Suddenly, the sound of gasping air came and went all around.
The most important reputation of the royal family!
Who would have thought that the two Grand Dukes would take the opportunity to attack in public
Regardless of whether His Majesty the Emperor is innocent or not, if he cannot explain clearly, the origin of the throne will be cast in a shadow from now on.
The death of the captain of the guard
Leng Yiyao looked at the poor lifeless man on the ground and smiled softly, her eyes shining brightly.
After waiting for so long, a good show is finally here.
Nowadays, who still remembers who killed Captain Lu
Everyone's eyes were fixed on His Majesty the Emperor.
Compared to His Majesty the Emperor, who only had two sons in total, one of them, Lu Ming, was killed by her, leaving only one Lu Chen to support the scene. These two brothers of his have many progeny, and they have as many as six sons together.
At this moment, everyone was watching eagerly to protect their father. If Lu Chen dared to "randomly speculate" on the cause of the death of Captain Lu, they would not be lenient and fight back immediately.
On one side is the solitary "successor", and on the other side is the grand duke who is "united" and revealing the secret. Who can decide which is right and which is wrong
"Who do you think will win in the end?" Leng Yiyao leaned back a little, her rose-colored dress was instantly wrapped by someone's dark clothes, and the color was slightly reduced. In an instant, he became more dignified.
Hemo looked at Leng Yiyao, who was chatting with him leisurely, and couldn't help but smile softly.
I'm afraid the whole audience now wishes they hadn't received that invitation.
As the saying goes, see no evil and hear no evil, the royal past they will hear tonight will probably be enough to frighten them for ten years.
"Who do you want to win?" The honor and disgrace of the royal family has never been in his eyes. Who wins and what difference does it make to him
He glanced at Lu Chen, who had been protecting the little princess from beginning to end, and couldn't help but smile slightly. It is quite impressive that the heir, who has grown up in good circumstances, has grown up to be so responsible in a short period of time.
It's a pity that he has to fight not only his two uncles, but also this destiny. As for the truth of that year, the only person in the audience who knew the truth best was probably the Emperor who did not say a word.
"Who do I think will win?" Leng Yiyao looked up at him, smiled softly, and lifted her earrings. The brilliance of the diamond slightly shattered the coldness around her. She chuckled and looked around.
The royal guards were all on the side, but they did not all rush up to "protect" him. Instead, they all listened to the two princes telling the public about the past events.
In this situation, she still needs to explain the whole story
This man clearly saw the situation clearly, and he had to deliberately trick her
She turned her head to the other side, where there were royal dignitaries standing row after row.
Now, everyone looked at the center of the field with solemn expressions.
If what the two Grand Dukes said is true and the emperor's throne came from a wrong path, then can His Highness Lu Chen still have the right to "succession"
"Cough cough - cough cough cough -"
His Majesty the Emperor, who had been silent all this time, suddenly started coughing crazily under the strange gazes of everyone, as if he was about to cough through his lungs.
For a moment, the entire banquet hall fell silent...
