Chapter 149 Prince, You Are Presumptuous
After kicking, Li Yinhu immediately let out a wail and rolled to the ground.
Li Chen's sudden rise was beyond everyone's expectations.
Zhao Qinglan couldn't bear it anymore. Her picturesque eyebrows frowned, and her delicate and beautiful face was covered with frost at this moment, and she scolded: "Prince! You are arrogant!"
"You dare to kick the Eighth Prince in front of me. You are really lawless. What is this in your eyes??"
Li Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Qinglan. In addition to being cold, there was also a sense of high spirits in his eyes.
"Empress, you have heard the eighth prince's words just now. His meaning is that I killed the ninth prince. If I were indifferent, wouldn't I admit the charge of killing my brother?"
The frost on Zhao Qinglan's pretty face did not retreat at all, and she said coldly: "I will naturally distinguish right from wrong. Are you not afraid of overwhelming your reaction?"
Li Chen sneered and said, "The ninth prince died suddenly. I must investigate the truth about this matter. Please do not stop the Queen."
"I also need to know the truth. Whoever dares to harm the imperial heir, no matter who it is, I will correct the Dharma."
Zhao Qinglan seemed to have something in her words, and she looked at Li Chen and said.
Li Chen's face was as deep as water, and looked at Li Yinhu on the ground, and said coldly: "You can tell the whole story in detail, and bring all the palace maids, eunuchs, and imperial physicians who served the Ninth Prince!"
At this critical moment, Zhao Xuanji, who had never expressed his opinion, stood beside him. He observed the entire situation and felt calm.
He had known that the ninth prince was about to die, so he would not be shocked by it.
What he is now considering is how to keep this huge black pot firmly on Li Chen.
Why have most princes rarely killed each other when fighting for power since ancient times, but they only raised their butcher's knife after ascending the throne?
No matter which prince it is, even if he becomes the crown prince, there will always be an emperor watching him, and there will always be civil and military officials around him. What will the emperor think if such a traitor happens?
Even though the emperor himself came up in this way, no father wanted to see his son fraternal siblings.
If a prince is in power and is too murderous, he can kill his brothers today in order to fight for power and be virtuous. Will he kill his father and the lord tomorrow?
Therefore, even as the prince of the governor, Li Chen has to be skinned once he is confirmed to be accused of fratricide.
Just as Zhao Xuanji was thinking about how to operate, a figure quietly came to him and said a few words in Zhao Xuanji's ear while no one was paying attention.
Zhao Xuanji suddenly widened his eyes. After decades of officialdom, there was almost nothing that could make Zhao Xuanji lose his composure.
He didn't say anything.
The figure around him quietly retreated after he finished speaking.
Zhao Xuanji took a deep breath, and his palms hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The Ninth Prince was dead, but it was not his one who killed him.
So, who is it?
Zhao Xuanji's eyes kept wandering on Li Chen.
He believed that besides himself, Li Chen had the only possibility of killing the Ninth Prince without knowing it.
But the question is, what is the purpose of Li Chen doing this?
At this time, Li Chen had already interrogated the palace maids, eunuchs and imperial physicians.
But there is no valuable information.
Li Chen's eyes swept around Li Yinhu, and the latter lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look at Li Chen's eyes.
