Leng Yiyao's words were like suddenly pouring a pot of cold water on everyone-in an instant!

It was clearly the discovery of the corpse of the head guard of Lu that caused this turmoil. Why, now everyone's thinking is to follow the two grand dukes to the matter of 18,000 miles.

Facing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, the two grand dukes suddenly sank, raised their heads, and looked at Leng Yiyao coldly.

The sound of the emperor's cough has been trying to suppress, but it still passed through the lungs and reached the ears of several people nearby.

For a time, in the banquet hall, the atmosphere was strange, everyone looked unpredictable, and no one dared to open the deadlock easily.

The two Grand Dukes who had the upper hand, saw Hemo calmly leaned towards Leng Yiyao's position, and when they came to their mouths, they began to swallow them thoughtfully.

Although the military never interfered with the royal family, if he offended this "Miss Leng" in front of Homer, I'm afraid he would not stand by.

I thought this masquerade was the best opportunity, but by accident, I didn't expect that the identity behind this "prospective princess" was so complicated...

The two looked at each other and settled down, looking at Lu Chen coldly without saying a word.

The Royal Physician, escorted by the guards, ran all the way, with a panic-stricken expression and a flustered expression, apparently caught off guard by the news that the Emperor was suddenly unwell.

"Your Majesty!" He rushed in, and when he saw the emperor's face, his face was startled. He ignored the royal family and distinguished guests around him, and almost immediately knelt down to diagnose him.

"Quick! Move the chair!" The imperial doctor raised his head and looked at the royal guard who was stunned behind him. For some reason, this group of people's reactions were a bit clumsy today. It's just that he didn't have time to look into it, and after shouting, he began to raise His Majesty's eyes to look at his pupils.

The guards behind them looked at each other, and in the cold smiles of the two grand dukes, they quickly moved the chairs, the ice-packed wipes and ice cubes, as ordered by the imperial doctor.

The emperor's throat, like a broken bellows, made a hoarse sound, one after another. The imperial doctor leaned into his chest and listened for a while, his expression became more and more stern, he raised his head, and said to the crowd around him: "Back off! Back off! Your Majesty needs fresh air."

For a time, with the emperor as the center, the crowd quickly dispersed, and the guards hurried to open the windows.

In the warm interior, the air suddenly cooled slightly, revealing the cold air outside.

Many celebrities quickly wrapped their coats and couldn't help shivering.

It's just that no one dared to say a word. Now, His Majesty's body is the most important thing. Don't you dare to make an inch without looking at the two Grand Dukes?

Leng Yiyao took advantage of the momentum and also withdrew from the emperor's side. Hemo subconsciously pulled her to his side to help her block the wind.

She raised her head, smiled quietly, and then looked at the center. Compared to the rest of the audience, the two of them were probably the two most at ease, looking indifferently at the show.

Even a few students in the special class found out, and for a while, they didn't know whether to sigh Leng Yiyao's strong psychological endurance, or to sigh for His Highness Lu Chen's deep affection.

However, compared to Leng Yiyao's relaxed expression, the royal family was completely turbulent.

Although the emperor tried his best to maintain his majesty, unfortunately, his slightly hunched back and pale face really made people doubt his physical condition. His fingertips were firmly clasped at the handle of the chair, as if he was trying his best to endure the pain, but there was no trace of it on his face. It's like the state where the whole person has not returned to God after being dizzy.

A foggy... .

Can't guess any depth.

The eldest princess and the second princess stood behind the curtain, looking nervous, but they didn't dare to take half a step. I am afraid that rushing up will affect the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor. Now, they will no longer be entangled in their children's lawsuits. Whether it is Lu Chen or the eldest princess, they are all in the blood of the emperor. If the emperor has three strengths and two weaknesses, and the two women, in front of the two princes, can they still turn the sky over!

"How is your father?" Lu Chen was the most anxious person in the audience. At the same time, he was afraid that he was the one who cared about his father the most after throwing away his identity. Unlike everyone else in the audience, even when he was the most arrogant and arrogant as a child, he was doted on by his father. Compared with other people, he enjoys the most complete family. It is precisely because of this that he can hardly accept it. His father, who has been strong in front of people all his life, shows such a fragile demeanor in front of everyone. Lu Chen calmed himself down, and gave the little princess a slight wink, telling her to hurry back behind the curtain, so as not to show her face easily.

Royal family disputes, he didn't want to involve his rare and innocent sister in it. What's more, she has no ability to protect herself at all.

The little princess shrank her neck, realizing that she was a burden now, and without saying a word, turned around and rushed towards the second princess.

The curtain fell, and the whole hall regained a strange atmosphere.

"Your Majesty is stimulated and feels unwell." The sound detector clearly sensed that His Majesty's heart was beating abnormally. The imperial doctor raised his head, but vaguely stated the cause. A word of physical discomfort can't explain anything at all, but at the moment, everyone has to taboo the emperor's body.

"Do you need to be sent to the hospital?" A cold flash flashed across Lu Chen's brows. The imperial physician had mentioned to him the cause of his father's cause at the time, but he never mentioned it after he returned to the imperial capital. At first, I thought it was just a sudden cause of disease, and it would recover slowly with proper care. Who would have thought that it would suddenly explode today.

He looked at his father's cold sweat soaking his back through his clothes, and quietly stood behind him to cover his traces.

Just as the imperial doctor was about to speak, he felt that his palm was suddenly tightly grasped. Suddenly, his heart trembled, and his expression showed no trace on his face.

The two grand dukes sneered at the emperor who was sitting on the chair. It was a kind of complacency looking at the old man Mu Mi, who was about to die. "The imperial doctor has to make a diagnosis. If there is an accident with your majesty, then we will This nephew is putting the blame on us again, and we can't afford it."

This is a bit embarrassing to say!

However, no one dared to refute them at this time.

There are four princes in the emperor's generation. After the fourth prince, who was most loved by the old emperor, died suddenly, the eldest prince and the third prince were successively named grand dukes. Although Jiwei was not as good as His Majesty, in the end Much more confident than Lu Chen.

No one from the royal family said a word, naturally because they didn't know how to stand in line now.

Lu Chen's greatest advantage was His Majesty's preference from beginning to end. This is what everyone sees. If the emperor does not even protect his own identity, then it is only a matter of time before this His Highness is "abandoned".

Who dares to speak for him at this time.

The imperial doctor took out a pill from the medicine box and handed it to the emperor's mouth. Upon seeing this, the guard brought a glass of warm water. Soon, the emperor's face slowly returned to normal. The bellows-like voice gradually recovered. He looked around with cold eyes, his eyes glowed brightly, and with a "slap", he threw the cup in his hand to the ground: "I'm not dead yet! Everyone can't wait for me to take a seat!"

A flash of consternation flashed on the faces of the two grand dukes. One was that they did not expect that the emperor would recover in such a short period of time, as if the violent cough just now was like their hallucination; another reason was that he actually said something It is already clear that the dust will be settled tonight.

The two looked at each other, and a question flashed between their eyebrows.

If the appearance of being unwell just now was entirely due to the emperor's suspicions, taking advantage of the situation, then have they stepped into each other's trap?

After all, when they missed out on the throne back then, no matter what else, the means were not as good as this brother, it is indeed a fact!

"Since Your Majesty is okay, we can rest assured." Grand Duke Lu Chong smiled slightly, and the women around him only felt a ray of light in front of them. Even if they were not young, the Grand Duke's charm was really irresistible. Grand Duke Lu Yun listened to his brother's talk, the beard on his face trembled, but he didn't speak. In terms of heart, his youngest brother is by no means inferior to the emperor. Sure enough, in the next moment, Grand Duke Lu Chong continued: "Since there is no problem with the body, let's solve the problem in front of us. After all, it will be clear and beneficial to everyone."

The emperor clasped his hands and motioned the imperial physician to back away a little. He followed Lu Chen's gaze, which was better than he expected. At least, in the face of the aggressiveness of the two uncles, he didn't mess with his stitches. Although, Leng Yiyao, and even Hemo behind her, was not the same as a few months ago.

He let out a low breath. As long as there is progress...

The emperor's eyes flashed with darkness, he raised his head, and smiled softly at his two brothers: "Listen to what you mean, how do you want to solve it?"

"Since Lu Chen brought it up and said that Chief Guard Lu died strangely, let's start with this first." Grand Duke Lu Chong glanced indifferently at the corpse lying on the ground. Probably because the time of death has been a little longer, and the body is starting to stiffen. Lying on the ground, the puffed eyes are slightly raised, not to mention the female relatives who dare not look at it, even the less courageous men. Take a second look.

"For the sake of justice, it's better to ask the police to intervene in this matter tonight." Grand Duke Lu Chong's eyes flashed from behind Leng Yiyao for a moment. Although he didn't say a single word, everyone understood it. The military world is in charge of the marshal alone. Now, he is protecting Leng Yiyao.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, but did not expect that the other party would make such a request. Judging from the reaction of the royal guards tonight, his two uncles controlled at least some of them. To such a point, but presumed to let others investigate? Why? Could it be that the cause of death of Guard Lu really has nothing to do with them?

His eyes subconsciously circled around the faces of everyone in the audience, but finally, they stopped at the face of the eldest princess, which is his eldest sister.

He had never seen the eldest sister's face so ugly.

The eldest princess found Lu Chen's gaze, she bit her lip without a trace, and clenched her fingertips, but she tried to keep her face calm. In the death of the chief guard of Lu, the two grand dukes asked the police to intervene in such a "fair and strict" manner. Given that the political circles and the royal family only maintained a superficial harmony, did not interfere with each other, and ruled out the possibility of private negotiation and collusion, it is not surprising that the two For a variety of reasons - either, the body is not afraid of the shadow, they did not do it at all, and they are not afraid of being investigated. Or, they did, but they have already touched all traces, and there is absolutely no possibility of being detected.

She looked cold and stood up abruptly.

Tonight, the head guard of Lu appeared strangely infrequently in front of people. Before the dance started, she was clearly standing with Chief Guard Lu, watching Lu Chen go to greet Leng Yiyao. At that time, was the picture of the two of them talking to someone with a heart?

The audience probably never imagined that the two Grand Dukes would make such a request.

There was an accident at the Royal Ball, and it was not an internal investigation, but a request for the police to be dispatched from the political circles.

His Majesty the Emperor slowly lowered his gaze and smiled coldly. After so many years, this pair of jackals, tigers and leopards finally waited for such a good time!

What they said clearly sounded selfless, but they pointed out that Lu Chen "framed" them, fearing that they were going to take this opportunity to "investigate" the cause and effect of the fourth brother's "sudden death" together.

Looking at the other party's wicked smile, a shadow flashed between his brows.

"Okay, just do as you said." No one in the audience thought that it was at this time that Lu Chen spoke up!

His Majesty the Emperor has not made a statement yet, but he actually agreed to the request of the two Grand Dukes?

Many guests only feel that they are in a fog.

For a while, with different expressions, they all looked at Lu Chen.

However, he stood beside the emperor and waved his hand: "The father is frightened, so I should hurry back to my room to rest. It's enough to have me here."

Leng Yiyao clearly saw a trace of consternation flashing across His Majesty the Emperor's face. The next moment, Lu Chen personally summoned his Chief Guard and put His Majesty's hand on his arm: "You escort my father back home."

It was clear that he was left to deal with the storm by himself.

However, with his age, experience, and qualifications, what odds would he have against his two uncles?

Not to mention the members of the royal family, even bystanders like Yun Lai felt that Lu Chen's move was a bit too much.

His Majesty the Emperor is here, and Lu Chen still has a barrier. For him, sending His Majesty back with his own hands will only increase his disadvantage.

Obviously, the emperor himself thought so too. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Chen suddenly smiled at him: "Father, there are some things, but it's just a matter of time, you don't have to worry."

Inheriting the throne must be considered by the royal family. Wind and rain will come sooner or later, what is the difference between sooner and later?

He could never hide behind his father for the rest of his life.

The emperor lowered his eyebrows, and suddenly sighed softly, without saying a word, he put it on the arm of the head guard Lu Chen, turned around, and walked slowly towards his bedroom.

The Imperial Physician immediately put on the medicine box and followed behind...

No one expected that the fickle eldest prince would grow to this point overnight.

"Call the police." Lu Chen met his uncle's gaze indifferently, and instructed the guard to make a call.

In the banquet hall, almost no one dared to talk aloud.

Soon, the Imperial City Police Station, which received the call, immediately dispatched the most elite team.

However, when people arrived, they realized that this was really a hot potato.

The deceased passed a preliminary examination and died around 8 p.m. There were many guests tonight, and all of them were distinguished guests. The monitoring equipment was deliberately dismantled indoors. Only the outdoor monitoring equipment was kept in order to ensure order.

The time when the Chief Guard Lu disappeared from the front of the people can be traced back to around 7:30 in the evening.

But during this period, the two Grand Dukes were in the banquet hall, having a good time with the guests. Direct crime is obviously excluded.

However, after checking all the video data, it seems that the Chief Guard Lu never talked to anyone else for more than a minute tonight, except for the eldest princess.

The police officer in charge of the investigation looked suspiciously at the ugly-looking eldest princess. Could this princess, who has long been excluded from the center of royal power, really be the murderer tonight?

"Princess, pardon my offense, may I ask, what exactly did you talk about with Chief Guard Lu tonight?"

"Let's chat casually, just to say that tonight's dance party is very lively, let him pay more attention to maintaining the safety of the scene." The long princess glanced at the police officer with a calm expression. Although her tone was not good, she answered the question cooperatively.

"After that, what else is there to say? For example, what did the Chief Guard Lu mention?" Inquiry and investigation was originally a thankless task, no matter how euphemistic it was, it sounded like he was listening to clichés. , The police officer silently looked at the eldest princess' body movements, her hands were always clasped together, either extremely nervous or not telling the truth.

"What can he mention to me?" The eldest princess snorted coldly: "I've been at the border all the year round, and I'm no longer a popular figure in the palace. He's different. As my father's confidant, he's mostly flattered, but he can chat casually. If you checked the surveillance, you should know if what I said is correct." Since she attended this banquet, the royal father hadn't looked at it twice, and she was obviously still brooding about what happened back then. But the monitoring equipment can read the conversation between her and the head guard Lu, and it is unrealistic to shirk. Now that the dirty water is falling on her head, she is more irritable than anyone else, "It was too early for me to talk to him and leave, and it was not long before he was arrested. It took at least half an hour to kill him. Why don't you guys check the abnormality at the party a few minutes before his death tonight?"

As soon as these words fell, everyone's eyes instantly turned to Leng Yiyao. If we say that the biggest change tonight is the female partner who was invited by His Royal Highness to be the opening dance.

It's just that she was basically in the center of everyone's attention tonight. What's more, the black-clothed man with the platinum mask was always by his side, who would dare to guess at her?

but……

Thinking of this, everyone, especially the members of the orchestra, were slightly taken aback.

In such a short period of time, the police officer keenly noticed that their expressions were wrong, and immediately asked the band leader, "Is there anything unusual?"

The chief was a man of about forty years old. He pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Tonight, someone on the second floor is playing the piano, and the time happens to be around 7:30."

As soon as his voice fell, the expressions of the sixteen guards suddenly changed!

At that time, they were instructed to go to the second floor to check, and when they pushed open the suite, they clearly heard the piano sound one moment, but the next moment, they only saw Leng Yiyao and the platinum masked man in black standing on the piano five. meters away, and in front of the piano chair, there was no one—

"A pianist is invited to perform tonight?" The police officer obviously noticed something strange and asked again.

The orchestra and the royal chamberlain in charge of tonight's reception almost simultaneously shook their heads: "No."

If you want to arrange a piano performance, it should also be placed in the ballroom on the first floor, not in the suite on the second floor.

"Check the entrance and exit monitoring equipment and see if there is a pianist besides the guests." The police officer's expression sank slightly, and he disappeared without a trace? This kind of person, I am afraid, is definitely not a general generation. The point is, popping up, just to play a tune? This kind of thing is not logical at all. Moreover, the appearance of a pianist is too coincidental. Is it because the piano sound was deliberately played in order to attract everyone's attention, so as to attract everyone's attention so that the accomplice could hide the body in the banquet hall?

Everything, like a mist, can't see the truth at all.

Leng Yiyao suddenly lowered her eyes.

remember the coming and going of M in a hurry.

The last time we met at the viewing restaurant, she couldn't have misunderstood the sturdy men in black who were following him, and the scorpion tattoos on their bodies were like fakes. But this time, in the box on the second floor, there were clearly no eyes to "monitor" in the name of "protection". Did he finally get rid of those people, or did those people no longer exist?

Being able to come and go freely in the palace, is M's appearance tonight a coincidence, or is it really related to the head guard of Lu...

Her eyes fell on the face of the eldest princess again, paused for a second, and then moved away expressionlessly.

In her opinion, the eldest princess is by no means as innocent as she seems. She must have something that she didn't explain clearly.

However, this trick is really effective.

The people who went to check the CCTV and surveillance quickly came over and replied: "No outsiders were found except for the guests."

This is amazing.

M actually evaded the security equipment of the palace, and there was no trace of entering or leaving the palace!

Leng Yiyao slowly hooked her lips and looked out the window with a strange expression.

That man with silver hair and silver eyes, sure enough, hides an extraordinary secret behind his back...

"What is the cause of death of Guard Lu?" Lu Chen, who had been silent for a while, suddenly opened his mouth. When everyone thought that it was the pianist who acted erratically, he was the only one who asked this question out of his mouth.

"Suffocation." The coroner took off his gloves, glanced at everyone briefly, pointed at the body of the Guard Captain Lu on the ground, and pointed to his neck: "I was strangled, and my throat was directly crushed, and I died of suffocation."

"Can you investigate fingerprints?" Lu Chen glanced at the corpse, and sure enough, the neck was blue and purple.

The coroner shook his head: "The other party is wearing gloves, so there is no way to compare the fingerprints." However, judging from the strength and height, it must have been done by a man. And, it's a one-shot kill.

Being able to sit in the position of the emperor's first bodyguard, it is self-evident how good Lu's bodyguard is. Being able to put him to death in one move, it can be seen that either he is too familiar with people and he is not prepared at all, or his skill should be so terrifying that the first royal guard is even in the dark. Unable to fight back....

For a time, the entire venue fell into a terrifying surprise.

"His Royal Highness, you have recently investigated the affairs of the Royal Airport with Chief Guard Lu, have you found anything unusual about him?" The police officer flashed a look of surprise and decided to simply throw out all the questions.

Lu Chen's eyes looked at the two uncles with natural expressions, with a cold expression: "He did find some clues about the airport accident, but no evidence has been found yet."

All the witnesses are dead and there is no evidence against each other. Even if it is clear who 80% of the perpetrators of the airport accident are responsible, the credibility of speaking out now has been greatly reduced.

After all, the two grand dukes took the lead by putting the sudden death of the fourth prince there. If he does not have strong evidence, in the eyes of others, his accusations against the two uncles may only be throwing dirty water, without any practical significance.

So the police officer fell silent.

A pianist who appeared and disappeared mysteriously, an eldest princess who refused to tell the truth, plus two grand dukes with ulterior motives and full of confidence, the police officer rubbed his brows and looked at His Highness, whose face was as still as a mountain. I have to sigh deeply for him, this royal dance is completely coming for him!

"His Royal Highness, there are too few clues. I suggest to take the body of the head guard Lu back to the police station. After further autopsy, we will do a case analysis." Tonight's "witness" and "suspect" are too special, he will not Stupid enough to ask the other party to enter the police station to assist in the investigation. The scene is a dance party, and even if it is preserved, there are not many traces to check. The most important thing is that until now they don't know where the first murder scene is. This case is simply tricky.

Facing this request, Lu Chen did not nod or shake his head, but looked into the distance with a cold expression. Seems to be thinking about something. At this moment, even the second princess could not see the true thoughts of her son.

Kins Camp has been standing in the corner of everyone's sight. Tonight, since Leng Yiyao appeared, his eyes have been on Leng Yiyao. In the beginning, it was the opening dance between her and Lu Chen. Around him, among the prying eyes of famous families and tycoons, his eyes were the calmest. Because he had seen with his own eyes how His Highness Lu Chen stood at the gate of the military academy at night and picked her up to leave in person. As a man, he clearly understood Lu Chen's feelings for Leng Yiyao. He wasn't surprised by this. After all, such a woman is too rare in the empire. Even though he has traveled around the world since he was a child, in war-torn countries and borders, he has never seen such a contradictory and dangerous woman. For the eldest prince who grew up in a comfortable environment, Leng Yiyao's body Fatal attraction can be imagined.

Later, he was even less surprised to see the black-clothed man with a platinum mask appear. After all, the marshal could even "inspect" the military academy for her, so what's the point of attending a dance together.

However, what he didn't expect was that Leng Yiyao actually became a sideshow. Seeing that Lu Chen is now surrounded by embarrassment, he didn't take action directly?

He frowned, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. Why?

While he was in doubt, he seemed to inadvertently walked not far from the corpse of Chief Guard Lu and glanced down. The coroner was putting "him" into the autopsy bag. Although it was very small, he could clearly smell a faint smell of gunpowder with the slightly circulating air...
