Chapter 401 The Fleeing Envoy
Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng were just lying on the ground, perhaps because this was the palace hall. Even if they fell to the ground, their white dresses were not stained with any dust.
Light golden and light yellow hair is scattered on the floor, like blooming pale daisies, while their owners are lying on the ground with their eyes closed, peaceful and calm. If it weren't for the lack of movement in their chests, they would look like they were asleep.
Same.
Although he looks a little pale.
Walking between the two brothers, Xue Ye slowly sat down on the floor, and her face, which was already full of wrinkles, became even more aged.
Touching the faces of the two sons who seemed to be sleeping, Xue Ye closed her eyes.
After being vigilant day and night, Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng finally grew into adults, which made Xue Ye once suspect that the enemies within the empire had shifted their targets.
It was not until tonight that Xue Ye recalled more clearly the nightmare that had tortured him for countless days and nights.
It turns out that the enemy's eyes have never left... They are always watching their children, ready to take their lives at any time.
Just seeing the symptoms of Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng at this moment, Xue Ye could recall his second and third son when they were young.
Yes...it's the same poison, that's right...
Slowly standing up from the ground, the old emperor didn't care about the cool breeze that passed through at night, even though his body really shouldn't be caught by the wind.
The imperial doctors gathered around looked at each other, and finally did not choose to remind His Majesty to put on more clothes at this juncture.
The old emperor glanced at the many people around him, and he knew that the empire would change after tonight.
Because he no longer has a prince...
A country without a prince will attract the covetousness of many careerists.
Xue Ye, who has been well versed in scheming for many years, knows this very well.
But at this moment, he no longer wanted to think so much. He just wanted to find the murderer and seek an explanation for his four dead children.
"Ninya." Xue Ye's deep and old voice sounded in the quiet hall.
At this moment, no matter how prominent the nobles were, they did not want to offend the majesty of an emperor.
No matter what a father who has lost his beloved son does, it will not be surprising.
"My subordinate is here." A masked man in gray clothes immediately walked to Xue Ye.
"Have you found anything?"
The man in gray clothes cupped his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't find anything. The only thing I found was the residue of certain drugs on the wine glasses that your two highnesses drank from."
"We are now checking whether it was indeed the poison that killed the two His Highnesses."
"...Okay..." Xue Ye opened her eyes, "Do you know who handed the wine glasses to my two children?"
The man in gray clothes looked back at the Star Luo envoys at the side of the hall, and replied: "It's an envoy from the Star Luo Empire, named Dao Meidan. He is fleeing now, and King Kundera is leading people to chase him.
.”
"Hmm..." Walking slowly towards the Xingluo envoy, Xue Ye continued to ask, "Have you checked the rest rooms provided for them in the palace and the hotels in the city?"
The man in gray clothes nodded: "We have checked it out and there is no problem. There were many people who were opposed to our actions, but they were suppressed by Archbishop Fan Yun of Wuhun Palace."
After saying that, the man in gray waved his hand and indicated the location of the unconscious nobleman to Xue Ye.
Originally, many people opposed the search, saying that the matter had nothing to do with them and that the royal family had no right to search their residences.
Then, Fan Yun, who looked gloomy, used his huge soul power to directly knock out an inciting nobleman, and asked the searchers to start from his room first.
There are few people sitting here who have a more distinguished status than Fan Yun, so after making this start, the subsequent actions will be much smoother.
Xue Ye turned around and glanced at Fan Yun, who was leaning against a pillar with his back against a big cat and his eyes closed, and said softly:
"Thank you Cardinal for your help."
"The emperor is polite, I just want the truth. I want to know who killed Qinghe, and I hope the emperor can give me an answer as soon as possible." Fan Yun didn't say anything more, just replied like this.
Xue Ye nodded and said nothing more.
Walking in front of the Xingluo diplomatic ambassador, the old emperor looked directly into their eyes, and a hoarse voice came from his throat:
"Do you Xingluo have anything to say about the death of my two sons?"
The diplomatic ambassador didn't show much fear on his face, but he was already scolding in his heart.
It was originally just a simple mission. After the wedding, the letters of credence were exchanged, and then you could return to the empire, just like many times in the past.
But he never expected that Prince Tiandou and the Fourth Prince would actually die!
The suspect is actually an envoy of the empire! And now he has escaped!
If this was the empire's mission, why didn't anyone tell him in advance?
Looking directly into Xue Ye's eyes, the ambassador of Xingluo, although he felt uneasy and unsure of the situation, still remained neither humble nor overbearing on the surface:
"Xing Luo expresses his extreme sorrow and regret for this. We and the empire are very surprised by the accident of your prince."
"The person who poisoned and is fleeing seems to be your Xingluo envoy." Xue Ye continued to ask.
"We don't know why he escaped or what his actions were. This matter has nothing to do with the empire." The ambassador replied very firmly and insisted on it.
"Haha..." Xue Ye laughed twice, then turned and walked towards the empty throne above the hall.
"Don't worry... everything will be clear when we catch them."
Sitting on the cold throne, the disheveled Xue Ye stared at the many people under the throne. Most people changed their eyes after feeling the emperor's gaze, fearing that they would irritate the old and grieving emperor.
"Tonight...my two beloved sons, Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng, were killed by traitors."
"Right here, right in this hall, on the wedding night of my prince Xue Qinghe!"
"I, Xue Ye, swear in the name of the Supreme Being of a Country that I will definitely find out the real culprits who killed my son. No matter who they are, I will make them pay the price."
With a wave of his hand, the imperial guards surrounding the hall entered the hall, surrounding everyone inside and outside.
"Until I find out the real culprit, I'd like to trouble you all to rest here. It's late at night and the weather is cold. There are more people and it'll be warmer."
While Xue Ye was talking, Dugu Bo also walked to Xue Ye's side, folded his hands on his chest and remained silent.
As a tribute to the royal family, Dugu Bo does not allow himself to make any more mistakes. No one can hurt Xue Ye in front of him.
Everyone trapped in the main hall looked at Xue Ye, who was silent with his eyes closed above him. He was protected and looked around by Poison Douluo.
On the other side, the silent Ning Fengzhi clasped his hands behind his back, while Sword Fighter Luo Chenxin was waiting solemnly with Seven Kills in his hand.
The Cardinal of Wuhun Palace, Fan Yun, whose strength was unknown but definitely not matched by everyone present, also leaned against a pillar, closing his eyes not knowing what to expect.
Coupled with the forbidden troops surrounding the outside, everyone knew what it meant to forcefully escape at this moment.
Salas glanced at Fan Yun, who was determined to stay and witness the truth of the outcome, and the black cat next to him. He sighed, found a chair and sat down, and began to close his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have captured him."
A strong voice sounded from the door of the hall, and Kundera walked in from the outside dragging a man whose limbs were bound.
