"I thought you would leave with Hermo." He looked into the distance solemnly, the look in his eyes flickering, no longer as uncontrollable as when he danced with her at night, nor the usual affectionate gaze. His mind seemed to fall into the abyss all of a sudden, too far away from this prosperous world, and he could not be found again, and there was no trace of him.
Leng Yiyao looked at him and smiled lightly. "Are you blaming me for not unmasking your two uncles at the banquet just now?"
This dance was already looking forward to. Lu Chen had been waiting for such a long time, seeing that he would be able to expose the "accident" at the Royal Airport tonight, but he did not expect that he was helping others make wedding dresses. Not to mention that he was completely taken advantage of, and even the emperor Your Majesty was dragged into the water.
"You have your own position." He stood there with a slightly hurt expression on his face, but he quickly put it away.
He knew her mind better than anyone else. Ever since he returned to the imperial capital, he had repeatedly told himself that he would catch up with her. Even though in the eyes of the world, she was only a senior in high school, no one knew better than him what kind of strong soul was hidden behind this seemingly leisurely and contented face.
He didn't believe that she didn't know the meaning of tonight's opening dance, nor did he believe that she appeared at this masquerade wearing that custom-made dress just to be a passerby. but why? Why the sudden change of mind? Why did the police get involved in this matter
"Lu Chen." She slowly raised her head, looked at him intently for a moment, and then suddenly called his name.
At this moment, there was a cold smell filling the ears and nose. For some reason, he suddenly felt the cold air around him making him feel a little uncomfortable. However, he did not turn his eyes away and looked directly at her.
"I should have told you that helping you is never unconditional." When she came to the Imperial Capital from D City, she made it clear that he could ask her to help, but it would never be free. Dedication. So far, he has owed her two conditions in total.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Lu Chen's face, which was a subconscious reaction when someone looked down on him and his dignity was hit hard. The most important thing is that she is still the woman he admires wholeheartedly.
Compared with Hemo, the other party didn't even need to take off his mask. He just stood beside Leng Yiyao. His uncle, the Third Emperor's Uncle, and even the guests and the police did not dare to take a step beyond Leng Yiyao's side. But now, he Besieged on all sides.
Leng Yiyao did not look at the look on Lu Chen's face.
No one in this world should be raised in an ivory tower for the rest of their lives. In her opinion, although His Majesty the Emperor was "partial" to Lu Chen and doted on him, he indulged his temper too much.
He was just pushed to the cliff by two elders and had not yet reached the end of the road. Who was he showing this deep look on his face
The emperor's bodyguard died, which in itself was more than a simple murder.
If M hadn't suddenly appeared and disappeared mysteriously tonight, she might still be in the mood to have some fun with the two princes.
"Do you know why the police let everyone go back?" She looked up. The morning star in the sky was so bright that it almost instantly obscured the brightness of other stars.
"I can't afford to offend, and I don't want to offend." Lu Chen smiled mockingly. The three realms stand side by side and do not interfere with each other. The political circles are not willing to get involved in this black mud.
"Chief Guard Lu, as your father's chief guard, would he not know about the undercurrents surging in the royal family over the years? What would happen to his wrists in the royal family?" Leng Yiyao only used two The question instantly woke Lu Chen up. Just like a person stuck in a swamp, suddenly seeing a bright light, his whole body suddenly has direction.
Yes, even in front of him, the first heir to the throne, Captain Lu was cunning and clever. He will always leave himself a way out. Just like when he forced the other party to thoroughly investigate the fire at the Royal Airport, he knew clearly that there was something sneaky behind it, but he still didn't say anything. Why didn't he keep a safe passage for himself
Logically speaking, the eldest sister has been sent to the frontier by his father and is no longer the favored one. But tonight, won't he still talk to the eldest sister as usual
He is a changeable and cunning fox. Moreover, in this palace that he has been responsible for security for more than 20 years, he knows every plant and tree inside. How could such a person be so successful in all the affairs of the palace? Killed in front of people's eyes
"You mean..." Lu Chen thought of a possibility, and there was something strange in his cold eyes. Under the dark lighthouse, two people stood one behind the other. There was a strong wind, and suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. The thunder is shocking! Crash in front of your eyes!
Zhai Mu subconsciously got down from the driver's seat and wanted to protect Leng Yiyao, but she turned around and fixed him in place with a cold look.
At this moment, Lu Chen and Zhai Mu felt something rolling across their chests.
"I didn't say anything at the party because I wanted to save some face for your father." She raised the corners of her mouth mockingly and glanced at Lu Chen, who suddenly turned pale.
"As long as people take precautions, they will never die silently, let alone someone as cautious as Captain Lu." Even if the royal family pays attention to the privacy of its guests, it should put safety and security first. Why are all the indoor monitoring equipment that are usually used tonight abandoned? Why did no one raise any questions even though the person in charge of security at the scene disappeared for most of the night? Why did the emperor not show any surprise when he heard that the police officer checked the outdoor surveillance and found out that his eldest daughter and the captain of the guard Lu were having a private conversation before the dance started
As long as she stood in the middle of the ball and asked one of these questions casually, His Majesty the Emperor would never be able to sit on that throne again.
Isn't it
From the horizon, a second thunder rolls down and hits the treetops in the forest!
In an instant, Lu Chen's entire face was shocked.
He looked at Leng Yiyao in disbelief, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word.
Her throat seemed to be stuck, and she clearly wanted to speak, but all the strength in her body was pulled away from her, leaving no room for change.
"The imperial doctor you announced on the spot was the one who 'risked his own life' and rushed to City D to deliver the news to you. In fact, subconsciously, you had already noticed that something was wrong. Otherwise, why did you just ask the royal guards to invite him? A doctor is here?" There are at least twenty royal doctors in the entire royal family, so why should he be the one who just pulls him
She lowered her head and chuckled with a relaxed expression, but Lu Chen only felt that everything tonight was probably just a farce in her eyes, and it was not even worth commenting on.
"When I messed with the emperor, I knew that he was just putting on a show. The death of a captain of the bodyguard, how could an emperor not even be able to bear such an accident? Did he always treat your two uncles as brothers and sisters? They have been taking every precaution for so many years, just because they couldn't bear it when they told the story about the sudden death of the fourth prince?" People are always easily confused by the appearance in front of them. Everyone just felt that it was like a bolt from the blue when they heard the two Grand Dukes reveal the "truth" of the year. When I saw the aging Emperor with a stiff face and a declining body, how could I ever think that all this was just a shocking plan
To take a step back, it is true that the emperor himself murdered his own brother back then. He dared to do it. Didn't he even have the means to end it
"Lu Chen, you just don't want to admit that everything you did tonight was arranged by your father in advance. Otherwise, why would you show such an expression?" She smiled, turned around, and looked at the lightning and thunder in the distance. .
Zhai Mu was shocked to find that he could understand every word Leng Yiyao said, but when put together, it was definitely not something that ordinary people could understand.
So, everything tonight was planned by the emperor
The death of Captain Lu was not a homicide, but a frame-up
Is this why, in front of a person who was so defensive, he didn't even show any signs of resistance and died easily in front of everyone's eyes
Because no one would have thought that the person who actually ordered to deal with the captain of the guard would be the emperor, including the captain of the guard himself!
She smiled softly, and her expression became more and more calm, "Your father is paving the way for you, paving a road to success. Tell me, should I tell the truth directly at the dance tonight?"
Lu Chen suddenly closed his eyes tightly. He clearly didn't want to hear it, and he clearly didn't want to see it, but every word Leng Yiyao said pierced his heart.
Yes, he vaguely guessed the truth when his two uncles stated that they wanted the political circles to intervene in the investigation.
Those sixteen royal guards were not just sent by the father to follow Leng Yiyao and Hemo. On the contrary, they were an eye-catcher.
In the palace, only the father had the ability to move the dead body of Captain Lu quietly under the dining table, where it would be discovered by others, thereby revealing the true ambitions of the two grand dukes!
