Leng Shiqi couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
He wasn't surprised that the Gu God Sect's Hierarch could easily get past the Imperial Guards outside. It was because this was nothing to an expert in the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm.
He was surprised that the Gu God Sect's leader came so quickly!
Leng Shiqi was still thinking that now that the show had just begun, the pro-war faction had already shown up, and the princess's faction was ready to make a move, it was time for the pro-peace faction to appear.
But last night, one of the leaders of the pro-peace faction, the Gu God Sect's leader, Sang Hetong, had already come to find Yu Ruifeng.
Yu Ruifeng set up an isolation restriction and said to Leng Shiqi and Yuan Cang, "Sang Hetong really came to find us to cooperate, and can temporarily remove our suspicion."
Leng Shiqi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
The pro-peace faction and the princess's faction wanted to help them clear their suspicion, it seemed that there would be a good show to watch.
"Now, we have a foot in both boats, and what we need to do is sink both boats!" Yu Ruifeng's eyes flashed fiercely.
But Leng Shiqi thought to himself, "I'm afraid we're not in two boats, but three!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "My Lord, Princess Bess had a conflict with the imperial guards outside the post house."
En?
Yu Ruifeng and Yuan Cang were both surprised.
Why did the princess come to find them?
She even had a conflict with the imperial guards, didn't this offend the two princes?
Zhu Lu Country wasn't a hereditary system, and if one of the two princes ascended the throne in the future, this princess would suffer.
But since she was already here, there was no reason to not see her. Yu Ruifeng immediately rushed to the gate of the post house with Leng Shiqi and Yuan Cang.
Princess Bess looked to be in her thirties. She wasn't extremely beautiful, but she was full of luxurious and graceful temperament.
At this moment, she angrily stared at the imperial guard who stopped her, "I'll say it again, get out of the way."
"Please forgive me, Princess. The two princes personally ordered that unless there is a special order, no one is allowed to enter or leave.
Please don't make things difficult for me. "The imperial guard half knelt in front of Princess Bess, but he didn't move half a step.
"Special order?
I wonder if this token in my hand can be used? "Bess took out a token that looked like it was made of jade, but wasn't made of jade, and seemed to be made of gold, but wasn't made of gold.
All the Imperial Guards knelt down when they saw this item!
Bess Wangfei directly stepped over the person who was blocking her. The guard didn't stop her anymore because what Bess Wangfei took out was the royal token of Zhu Lu!
It symbolized the highest authority in Zhu Lu Country!
At this time, Yu Ruifeng's eyes flashed with surprise. He went forward and cupped his hands, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Wang Fei first smiled gently at Yu Ruifeng, but she did not speak to Yu Ruifeng. Instead, she turned and spoke to the imperial guards kneeling on the ground.
"I can prove that His Majesty's death has nothing to do with the Dark Thunder Guards. You can go back now."
The Imperial Guards hesitated. They didn't dare to disobey the Prince's orders, but they didn't dare to disobey the King's orders either!
In the end, they could only say in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, the Imperial Guards left in a neat formation like the tide.
Leng Shiqi and the others saw all of this. He knew that Wang Fei must have asked the Dark Thunder Guards for help.
Bess Wangfei then smiled at Yu Ruifeng and said, "I've wronged Lord Yu and the Dark Thunder Guards, please don't blame me."
Yu Ruifeng also revealed a smile, "It's an honor for Wang Fei to come here. Wang Fei, please come in."
"Wait!"
A rough voice suddenly came. Leng Shiqi looked over and saw the tall Prince Heli arrive in front of the guest house like a meteor!
Wang Fei's eyes flickered and there was an undetectable trace of panic in them.
Prince Heli walked over with large strides. His eyes were wide open and filled with anger. It looked a bit scary from afar.
"Bess, was it you who withdrew the Imperial Guards?"
He actually called Wang Fei by her name, and there wasn't the slightest bit of respect in his tone; it was even questioning.
Wang Fei's expression darkened. She hadn't expected Prince Heli to come so quickly; she had only said a few words.
Furthermore, Prince Heli's attitude toward her made her even angrier, but she didn't dare flare up. She continued to smile and said, "Prince Heli, you really came quickly."
"Answer my question!" Prince Heli didn't want to waste words with her, and his attitude was very unyielding.
Wang Fei's smile faded. She took out the king's order and pointed at Prince Heli. "What, does Prince Heli want to defy the king's order?
Or are you already looking down on Wang Ling? "
Prince Heli's face twitched a few times, and he shouted in a low voice, "Hmph, even if you have the king's order, you can't get close to the Dark Thunder Guards at will. They're a major suspect in the assassination of His Majesty the King!"
"Nonsense. His Majesty the King's death has nothing to do with the Dark Thunder Guards. I can testify to that.
Do you know that you almost made a big mistake and almost pushed our Zhu Road country into the abyss?! "Wang Fei's tone also became unyielding.
"The princess is right." At that moment, an old man with white hair and a white beard walked in with a walking stick, accompanied by a group of people.
He was Zhu Road country's elder, Qu Li!
Leng Shiqi's eyes narrowed. The three forces vying for the throne of Zhu Road were now gathered, but the leader of the Gu God Sect, Sang Hetong, and Prince Gus weren't here.
Qu Li's appearance here was completely out of Wang Fei's and Prince Heli's expectations, but within Yu Ruifeng and Leng Shiqi's expectations.
Qu Li's words shocked Wang Fei and Prince Heli at the same time!
Judging from Qu Li's words, he seemed to be supporting Wang Fei!
Qu Li ignored their astonishment. He looked straight at Yu Ruifeng and said, "Lord Yu and the Dark Thunder Guards never left the posthouse on the night of His Majesty's death, so how could they assassinate His Majesty?
As for the witness, I think it was tampered with by someone, so it can't be taken seriously. "
Wang Fei's mood was very complicated. Qu Li's sudden appearance could suppress Prince Heli.
But this way, the Dark Thunder Guards wouldn't only remember her benefits!
She gritted her teeth and said, "That's right. I heard that the Dark Thunder Guards are best at investigating and solving cases. Why don't we trouble them to investigate the cause of His Majesty's death?"
Prince Heli immediately shouted, "Impossible!"
"I'm not asking for your opinion. Does Lord Yu think this is feasible?" Wang Fei directly asked Yu Ruifeng for his opinion.
Yu Ruifeng's eyes swept over the three people present, then he looked at Yuan Cang and Leng Shiqi. He nodded, "Since the princess has spoken, it would be unsatisfactory if we refuse.
But … I don't know if the elder and Prince Heli will agree? "
Yu Ruifeng's words caused the three parties to have their own thoughts.
