In the magnificent palace, Horna casually threw the necklace given by the maid on the ground. The expression on her face could not be described as charming.
It's a pity that everyone in the palace seems to have been used to her recent mood swings. Even if she puts the diamond necklace on the maid's face, no one will have a strange expression on their face. .
Horna sneered, she really has a good brother!
When the conservatives asked her to get married, what did her brother say
"It's just a show! Sooner or later there will be a war. Why would I send you to die?" She still remembers the warm look in her brother's eyes when he stroked her hair.
Isn't this to die
It's clear that their chemical base has been found out, but they still pretend to be unaware and create a situation where everyone is good and everyone is good.
My brother may have completely forgotten how that bitch named Leng humiliated her in D City.
But even so, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
After all, she was just a princess, seemingly superior, and the power of life and death was not in the hands of her brother alone. In order to consider the mentality of the conservative party, she forced herself to pretend to be shy and no longer left the palace at will. She stayed in her palace honestly, looking like a girl waiting to be married.
But now!
Suddenly, with bloodshot eyes, Horna pushed the kettle beside the table to the ground, clatter—
The sound of crystal cracking was accompanied by liquid splashing in all directions, but the people around her still stared at the ground as if they were unaware, never looking at her.
The short-lived ghost Lu Chen is obviously dead!
Why, she still couldn't even take a step out of her own room!
This is clearly imprisonment!
Even now, if she still foolishly thinks that everything is for her own good, then she is really stupid and is worse than a pig.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!" She was so angry that she smashed everything she could see on the ground, but that didn't relieve her anger. She just felt that her years of being superior were all a ridiculous lie. It turns out that in the eyes of the emperor, he is just a toy that can be played with at will.
"What's going on? Are you so angry?" An elegant male voice came from outside. All the attendants who had been indifferent in the room suddenly became pale and immediately knelt down!
Even Holna, who had been shouting, looked serious!
The door opened, and sure enough, Huo Mu walked in leisurely.
He walked over the debris on the ground, but as if he didn't see anything, he slowly walked up to Horna and smiled slightly: "Who made my sister unhappy?"
Horna gritted her teeth, but she understood whose hand her fate was. After being "enclosed" in her palace for so many days, she realized a truth. No matter what his brother's plans are, everyone is just a pawn in his eyes.
He had been waiting for this battle for so long that he was about to lose his patience. Therefore, he used his marriage as a princess to tightly control the mouths of the anti-war conservative forces in the country.
So what now
"I heard that my 'fiancé' who didn't have a real name is dead." She smiled like a flower, as if telling a story, staring at Huo Mu, hoping to find some clues.
Lu Chen's news is no longer a secret in Duolin Kingdom's palace, and even she has seen it clearly on the Internet. Who made Grand Duke Lu Chong of the empire be so anxious that he actually made an announcement in public!
However, he pointed the finger directly at Leng Yiyao, which still surprised her.
Leng Yiyao has the military support behind him. Is there something wrong with his mind? Dare you confront that marshal head-on
"Who said Lu Chen is your fiancé?" Huo Mu looked at her with a half-smile, as if looking at a child who didn't understand the world.
Isn't Lu Chen her fiancé? What's the meaning
The expression on Horna's face froze for a moment, and the next moment, she was almost enveloped in ecstasy!
Does that mean that I no longer need to be sent to the empire as a bargaining chip for political marriage? So, she is free now
"Silly girl," Huo Mu looked at his sister and her eyes suddenly became bright and happy. He couldn't help but slowly touched the top of her head: "From the beginning, your real fiancé was not Lu Chen."
The real fiancé… .
This sentence was like a basin of cold water coming from the top of her pocket, chilling her whole body.
She suddenly had a feeling of despair, but she still refused to believe that the imperial brother she had trusted for so many years would actually do this.
"If it wasn't Lu Chen, who could it be?" Her teeth began to chatter. She had been in the royal family for many years, and she had always known how cruel her brother was. However, she never thought that she was just a princess and would not interfere with the imperial brother's affairs at all, but one day she would be so ruthlessly abandoned. It was like a thing that I had raised for so many years. When I was in a good mood, I would give her a few words of comfort. Now, when the real thing came, it was time for her to be sent out to fulfill her obligations.
"Since you are the princess of Duolin Kingdom, the only person worthy of your status is the emperor of the empire." Huo Mu seemed to think that his sister was making a fool of herself, and explained to her word by word: "Although Lu Chen is He is dead, but the royal family of the empire is not dead yet.”
Horna suddenly stood up!
The blood redness in his eyes seemed to be coming out!
How can there be any orthodox bloodline in the empire to inherit the throne
That M was just an illegitimate son. The old emperor and his biological mother were both dead, and no one could prove his identity.
Lu Chen's other younger brother, Lu Ming, had died long ago, and there was no legitimate prince left in the younger generation's bloodline. The only one left is Grand Duke Lu Chong, who announced his "Qing Jun side" in public!
"You actually asked me to marry a good-for-nothing who is old enough to be my father!" More than just a good-for-nothing? At first, he was manipulated by Leng Yiyao, and his decades of planning fell to pieces. Then he fled to the territory like a lost dog. Now, when he saw Lu Chen's death, he jumped out to riot! Such people…
Horna looked at her brother in disbelief: "Why?"
It's not like the Duolin Kingdom was really afraid of the Empire, so why did they have to sacrifice her for a marriage with the Empire
Still with that kind of cold and cunning man!
Huo Mu did not answer her. Instead, he looked at her with an expression that looked like an idiot, as if he felt that he still needed to explain this kind of thing in person.
She felt a chill on her back, and then her mind suddenly collapsed!
Yes.
The royal brother never does business that is not beneficial to him.
Since he is willing to marry her, he naturally believes that the other party can really seize the throne of the empire.
And the reason why he is so determined...
Horna suddenly felt chilled.
The imperial brother doesn't really have much confidence in Grand Duke Lu Chong, he just has full confidence in himself!
Therefore, Grand Duke Lu Chong's "Qingjun side" was just a trick to hide the truth from others. In fact, both of them have been colluding for a long time!
She suddenly understood why Brother Huang knew so much about the affairs of the imperial family. Even though he was thousands of miles away, he could control every move in the imperial palace.
Not only was Duolin Guo setting up a secret line there, but more importantly, Grand Duke Lu Chong's connections in the palace allowed him to see everything about his opponent.
Horna suddenly thought of a possibility...
"Lu Chen's poison?" She stared blankly at Huo Mu, whose smile remained unchanged, and felt trembling all over.
"Well, um..." He suddenly nodded with a hint of meaning, with an expression on his face that you would be interested in such a thing: "I do know the whole story of this matter, but unfortunately, it was not me who did it. "
His eyes are indeed far enough, but unfortunately, his hands are not long enough. Lu Chen was either in the palace or with Leng Yiyao. That woman's defensiveness was not at the same level as his imperial sister.
If you want to get past her and poison Lu Chen, you must use extraordinary means and clever timing.
As for Grand Duke Lu Chong, if he really had the means to poison the emperor, it would have been impossible for Lu Chen to seize the throne from him in the first place.
If he was really powerful enough, why would he seek the skin of a tiger and seek cooperation with him
Huo Mu shrugged his shoulders, looked at Huo Erna's suddenly pale face, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. He folded his arms and smiled softly at her: "How is it? Have you guessed who the murderer is?"
