Chapter 12 Murder and Framing (3)
Duanmu Lei's smile froze on his face, the air around him also became inexplicably frozen, and a feeling of uneasiness lingered in everyone's hearts.
What happened? The useless prince was still in front of them. In their eyes, he was just a loser!
But today, when I took a look at him, I actually felt that this useless prince actually had a sense of nobility. Every bit of his indifferent brows and eyes exuded a stunning and murderous aura!
It must be an illusion! Are you kidding me? This loser is well-known throughout the entire Galan Continent. Everyone knows that he is a weakling!
"Hey! The young marquis is talking to you again, are you deaf?" A guard shouted at her, but she found that for the first time in her life, she felt so unconfident to speak loudly!
Wei Ning's eyes moved slightly, and he lifted the hem of his exquisite and luxurious clothes, and said lightly: "What did the young marquis say? I didn't hear it clearly, please say it again."
"Haha, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a high fever for several days. Maybe he was crazy due to the fever?" Duanmu Lei sneered, his fingers crackling.
He was in a bad mood today because of Princess Heqing, and how dare this useless prince who didn't know how to live or die come and provoke him?
"I don't know what's wrong with this loser . How dare he provoke the young marquis? He's really courting death!"
"If he dares to disobey the Regent and not attend the palace banquet, the Regent will not let him go. He will first break one of his legs!"
A group of people were chattering nearby, waiting to see the show.
Duanmu Lei also walked towards Wei Ning step by step with his fists clenched.
"What are you doing?" Princess Qingtong ran out from the back hall and shouted with a cold face.
Wei Ning glanced at her and said nothing, but Duanmu Lei suddenly laughed obscenely, rubbing his hands and said: "Princess, I've missed you so much these days!"
Princess Qingtong bit her lips fiercely, her body trembling with anger, but she still raised her chin proudly and said, " There are many distinguished guests in the palace today. How dare you act so presumptuous in the Crown Prince's Palace?"
"Princess, you're right. It's just that the prince is ignorant and I'm just teaching him a lesson." Duanmu Lei's eyes lingered on Princess Qingtong wantonly.
Princess Qingtong's face flushed instantly and she glared at him in humiliation.
At this time, Wei Ning, who had been silent all the time, spoke slowly.
"My young master can hardly protect himself, so please don't bother meddling in my business."
The smile on Duanmu Lei's face turned cold again, and he said unhappily: "If you dare to say another word of nonsense, do you believe that I will break both of your legs?"
Wei Ning remained silent, his dark eyes glancing outside the hall. A hurried figure ran in quickly in the darkness.
"Young Marquis! It's bad! Something happened!"
That anxious sound was even more anxious than the firecrackers lighting up behind one's butt.
Duanmu Lei couldn't help but yelled: "What are you yelling about? Can't you see that I'm doing something important?"
The man fell directly from the door onto the floor of the hall, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess Heqing, the princess, she was killed!"
There was a moment of silence in the Prince's Palace, and everyone's breathing seemed to stop for a moment.
After a while, Duanmu Lei finally jumped up and asked loudly, "What? What did you say?"
"Princess Heqing was murdered in the palace!" the person reporting the incident said fearfully, "Prince An is furious and wants to investigate the matter thoroughly. The regent has already been alerted. Young Marquis..."
Everyone knows that Duanmu Lei is responsible for protecting Princess Heqing tonight. If she was killed in the palace, he cannot escape the blame.
