Chapter 15 Murder and Framing (6)
It was a plain and simple conversation. Duanmu Lei was complacent at first, thinking that this useless prince was making excuses for him, but his expression changed after hearing the last sentence!
Everyone was also shocked. No one could have imagined that this useless prince could be so sinister. Duanmu Lei often bullied her. Wasn't it obvious that he was taking revenge for his personal gain?
If Prince An is allowed to look after Duanmu Lei, how could Duanmu Lei have a good life?
"Mu Qingning, you're looking for death!" Duanmu Lei roared and rushed forward.
The towering man behind Prince An still stopped him and sneered, "You are disrespecting your superiors and showing no respect for the inferiors. I never thought that the people of the Azure Dragon Empire would be so unruly!"
Duanmu Lei was so angry that his eyes were crooked, and he said stubbornly: "If the Regent doesn't come, no one has the right to decide where I go!"
"Young Marquis, this is in the palace! When the Emperor is not here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the final say. This matter is of great importance, so please stop making a fuss!" Many officials who were fed up with Duanmu Lei's bullying of the weak spoke up.
"That's right. Since you said you were wronged, why not just investigate it thoroughly? Why make such a fuss? Are you afraid that Prince An will eat you?" Several princes also spoke up.
Wei Ning looked at Duanmu Lei coldly and said slowly, "If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. What is Young Marquis Duanmu afraid of?"
"Who said I'm afraid? Humph! I'm honest and didn't kill anyone! I believe that Prince An is also honest and will not harm me privately!" Duanmu Lei said loudly.
He was not stupid. He knew that if he was lynched, it would tarnish King An's reputation.
Prince An waved his hand and asked his followers to take Duanmu Lei away. Then he bowed to Wei Ning and said, "Prince, you are very righteous. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. I hope Prince An can find the murderer as soon as possible." Wei Ning nodded to him lightly as a courtesy.
Who made her the murderer of his sister?
After dealing with the matters here, Prince An took his people and left the palace and returned to the inn. The rest of the people did not dare to say anything. Looking at Prince Qingning who acted as if nothing had happened, some people admired her for having the courage to offend Duanmu Lei, while others sympathized with her.
The Regent's mother was from the Duanmu family, and Duanmu Lei was a direct descendant of the family, so his relationship with the Regent was special.
When the Prince Regent returns to the capital and learns about what happened today, this useless prince will probably suffer a lot!
Tsk tsk, actually the prince’s action just now made many people happy, but when they thought of the terror of the regent, no one dared to say anything more.
Wei Ning didn't care at all. She had wanted to meet the regent for a long time . It wasn't that she was arrogant. If the regent really wanted to kill her, then what would it matter if she didn't take the position of crown prince?
The sky is high and the sea is vast, she comes and goes freely, and no one can restrain her!
"Ning'er." After returning to the Crown Prince's Palace, the silent Princess Qingtong finally spoke, her face pale and colorless, "I know you hate Duanmu Lei, but this way, you will completely offend him."
She was so scared just now that she couldn't speak at all. When she heard Qingning say those words, she was completely stunned and didn't know how to stop him.
"I know this is not good, but please rest assured, sister, I have ways to deal with it." Wei Ning was not worried.
Since she has traveled through time and become Mu Qingning, she will never be like Mu Qingning, living a miserable life, cowering in fear just to survive.
Wei Ning is not such a person. She doesn't like to accept things passively. She knows that no matter what she wants in life, she has to fight for it herself!
