Chapter 13 Murder and Framing (4)
This is a matter of diplomatic relations between the Qinglong Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom. Prince An is also quite powerful in the Xuanwu Kingdom and is a strong contender for the next heir to the throne. How can he let it go when his sister is killed?
Even the Regent couldn't protect him in this matter.
Duanmu Lei was so frightened that he was sweating all over. How could he care about Wei Ning and Princess Qing Tong? He immediately rushed out with his men.
Princess Qingtong was still somewhat bewildered and puzzled, and murmured , "I heard that Princess Heqing of Xuanwu Country is a second-level Shui Yuan master. It's impossible for her to be killed so easily!"
"Yes." Wei Ning replied indifferently. If she was not used to killing people and her movements were not quick, she would probably have been dragged down for a while by Princess Heqing.
Her career as a killer in her previous life gave her more combat experience than any other master in this world, especially assassination, which was basically her forte.
Princess Qingtong turned and looked at her, her eyes softening a little, "You didn't go to the palace banquet, where did you go?"
"Just went out for a walk." Wei Ning didn't want to say more, so she stood up and said, "Royal sister, let's go see what's happening over there."
"What's so good about a dead person?" Although Princess Qingtong didn't want to go, she was still pulled out by Wei Ning.
Along the way, there were heavily guarded guards everywhere, bright fires, and noisy voices.
The palace was surrounded inside and outside, and assassins were being searched everywhere.
There were many people gathered around the place where Princess Heqing died, and the torches made the night brighter than the day.
At this moment, a panicked voice rang out: "It wasn't me! How could I kill the princess? This must have been framed by someone! I want to report it to the Regent!"
"Duanmu Lei, the evidence is irrefutable. Do you still want to deny it?" A rough male voice sounded, and it was obvious that he was from Xuanwu Country. "Your Highness Prince An, please accept my condolences. The man who killed Princess Heqing will be made to pay the price!"
"What evidence? I said it was a frame-up! I didn't kill anyone!" Duanmu Lei still refused to give in and insisted on meeting the Regent.
There were too many people gathered outside, so Wei Ning couldn't see what was going on inside. But listening to the fierce argument was quite exciting.
Princess Qingtong gently squeezed her hand, gritted her teeth and whispered, "This is retribution. Duanmu Lei should have died long ago!"
"Isn't it? Prince An is a ruthless character. How will he deal with the person who killed his sister?" Wei Ning said lightly.
This time, she framed Duanmu Lei. Even if she couldn't kill him, she could at least make him suffer a lot. She had many ways to make his life worse than death!
"Haha, what a cruel little girl. I like the trick of framing others." Suddenly, a faint chuckle sounded beside me.
Wei Ning suddenly raised his head and looked around.
They stood at the back of the crowd, and there was no one else around except a few guards who were interrogating the palace maids and eunuchs.
So where did the sound come from? Did someone see her frame someone?
However, the Blue-eyed Princess beside him had a calm expression on her face, not like she had heard what had just been said.
Is she the only one who can hear this sound?
who is it?
She subconsciously touched her sleeve, where were several things she had taken from the man who had flirted with her, including a jade pendant, a ring, etc. Could it be that there was something strange about these things?
"Who are you?" Wei Ning frowned and asked with his spiritual sense.
