Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 426: Fraud (Part )
Xiao Chengxuan’s face turned pale and his heart beat violently, almost jumping out of his chest.

He took great effort to control his emotions and tried his best to look calm.

However, the others could no longer suppress their shock and cried out.

"She saw it again!? What does the prince mean by this!?"

Even Xu Fengchi opened his eyes wide.

Ye Chutang had never mentioned this to him before!

Why did she tell Shen Yanchuan alone?

Although he knew that the two had known each other for a long time, and that Shen Yanchuan had helped Ye Chutang several times after he returned to Beijing, Xu Fengchi was still surprised when he heard what he said.

Others may not know, but he understands Ye Chutang.

The woman seemed clear and gentle, always with a faint smile on her face. She was polite to everyone, but in fact she was distant from everyone.

Except for Ayan, Afeng and Xiaowu, everyone else was isolated by her behind an invisible barrier.

Xu Fengchi is one of the few people she can trust, but this is also for Ye Zheng's sake.

If Xu Fengchi had not continued to run around for Ye Zheng after his death, I'm afraid Ye Chutang would not have contacted him on his own initiative.

And now, she actually told Shen Yanchuan such an important thing.

These two people...

Xu Fengchi couldn't help but look at Shen Yanchuan again.

It was Ye Chutang who told him the news that Ye Heng was still alive.

Ever since he knew that the person was in Shen Yanchuan's hands, he guessed that the two had secretly joined forces.

Now it seems that Shen Yanchuan is more than just a partner to her...

However, the people present did not think as much as Xu Fengchi.

What they care more about is that Shen Yanchuan's words obviously have a hidden meaning!
Shen Yanchuan's gaze fell on Xiao Chengxuan.

Everyone noticed something and slowly looked over.

The atmosphere was frozen, and even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.

Xiao Chengxuan became inexplicably nervous.

The next moment, Shen Yanchuan said:

"When Wulanshan was attacked, the arrows used by those men in black were exactly the same as what she saw that year."

Many people were stunned for a moment before they realized what was happening.

"Wulanshan!?"

"I remember now! The Crown Prince and the King of Qi were both there, but they were assassinated halfway up the mountain! This incident caused quite a stir at the time!"

"Yes, yes! I remember it too! It was that time when Miss Ye Er fell off a cliff to save the prince, and she luckily managed to survive!"

"This, this... If the arrows used by the assassins in both incidents were the same, then it means that they were instructed by the same person! But no matter how you look at it, these two incidents have nothing to do with each other?"

"No, I feel like something is not right... The King of Qi was also present during the assassination attempt, but he was not injured. If..."

The person who spoke suddenly shut his mouth, but everyone present was shrewd and calculating, so how could they not guess the unspoken meaning in his words?
If the mastermind behind this is Xiao Chengxuan, then everything can be explained!

He first sent people to kill Ye Zheng, and then sent people to ambush in Wulan Mountain.

It was also because of this that he was able to remain unscathed in such a chaotic situation.

As for why he caused that incident in Wulan Mountain...it's actually not difficult to guess.

Shen Yanchuan is the eldest son of Marquis Dingbei, and behind him is Shen Youyan, the military power!
Xiao Chengxuan failed to win over Huo Yucheng that year, so he inevitably turned his attention to Shen Yanchuan.

Judging from Shen Yanchuan's attitude, the two of them must have failed to reach an agreement.

This led to all the "accidents" that happened later.

For a moment, everyone's eyes towards Xiao Chengxuan changed.

Who doesn't know that this person wants to fight?

If he could harm Huo Yucheng back then, he could naturally harm Shen Yanchuan as well!
But he didn't expect that there was suddenly a Ye Chutang among them, who actually recognized the arrows used by the group of men in black!
With a little association, it is not difficult to deduce the whole logic! Su Wei frowned: "Sir, what you said, the assassination at Wulan Mountain and the murder of Ye Zheng were all planned by the King of Qi?"

Shen Yanchuan paused.

"I didn't say that. It's just that the two people who attacked used arrows with the same unique mark. It really makes people suspicious."

Although he did not give a definite answer, his words actually made it more reassuring.

Xiao Chengxuan was completely panicked.

"you are lying!"

His eyes were bloodshot, veins popped out on his forehead, his face flushed, and his facial features twisted.
"That arrow is totally different!"

The entire hall suddenly fell into silence, with only his fierce and hoarse roar echoing for a long time.

Xiao Chengxuan suddenly realized something and his heart suddenly emptied.

The next moment, he saw Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows, as if smiling.

"Oh?"

Finished!

Xiao Chengxuan finally came to his senses, and felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave!
His lips couldn't help but tremble, and he subconsciously shook his head to deny it.

"no no……"

Shen Yanchuan seemed curious and asked softly:
"Your Highness the Prince of Qi is so sure. Were the arrows used in those two times different?"

It was just a soft whisper, but it was like thunder, exploding in everyone's heart!

In the huge palace, no one spoke, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

An invisible flood is already coming!

At this point, what is there to argue about?
The fact that Xiao Chengxuan could shout out that sentence with such confidence was enough to explain everything.

If it had nothing to do with him, how would he know this?

Shen Yanchuan smiled.

"But your highness is right. The arrows shot there were indeed different."

The last trace of blood color on Xiao Chengxuan's face completely faded, leaving only a tragic paleness.

At this moment he finally realized that Shen Yanchuan was cheating him!
Everything that happened just now was done intentionally by Shen Yanchuan!

But he was fooled in a hurry!

"I, I didn't... I didn't!" Xiao Chengxuan looked at Emperor Mu Wu in panic, "Father! I am innocent! Those things really have nothing to do with me!"

But what's the use of pleading and making excuses at this moment?
Emperor Mu Wu sat high up at the head of the table, his face expressionless except for his pair of old eyes which looked exceptionally cold and stern.

Beneath the coldness, there is raging rage!

"Good, good! This is truly my good son! I didn't know you had such a mind and means!"

Emperor Mu Wu's chest heaved violently and his voice and expression were stern.

"I was so blind that I was deceived by you for so many years!"

All the officials knelt down.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

But this is not something that can be put to rest with just one sentence.

It's really ugly that things have come to this point!

Xiao Chengxuan knew that he was finished, but how could he be willing to accept that?

After years of painstaking planning, it was all ruined in an instant?
Do not!
Xiao Chengxuan searched around anxiously, looking for help at the figure diagonally in front of him.

Now the only one who can save him is his grandfather!
Jiang Zhaoyuan would naturally not just watch his grandson being thrown into the abyss.

He took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, the prince has committed a crime, just like the common people. If all this is really done by the King of Qi, then he should be dealt with impartially, and I will never cover up for him. However, I have one more thing I want to confirm with the Crown Prince."
