“That’s not the case.” Shen Qiu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Huangfu Hao’s guards said that the person who assassinated Huangfu Hao was the crown prince.”

“The crown prince killed Huangfu Hao?” Shen Xin stood up. “Impossible!”

Not to mention whether the crown prince could do it or not, now that Ming Qi was trying to rope in the State of Qin to deal with the Daliang Dynasty, how could he do such a destructive thing to his own country? If he killed Huangfu Hao, he would only anger the State of Qin. Not only would the alliance collapse, but he would also make an enemy for himself. The crown prince was not a fool. Why would he do such a thankless thing?

“I think it’s impossible too.” Shen Qiu was a little puzzled. “However, those guards said that at that time, they heard Huangfu Hao shouting the crown prince’s name on the mountain and saying that the crown prince was the murderer. They are Huangfu Hao’s guards, so there’s no reason for them to frame someone and let the real murderer go.”

Luo Xueyan asked, “Aren’t Huangfu Hao’s guards with him? Why did they say they heard him shouting?”

“That’s the question.” Luo Ling continued, “According to what Huangfu Hao’s guards said, it’s the crown prince who invited Huangfu Hao to smell the incense today. Huangfu Hao’s guards recalled that the crown prince said in the invitation that he had something to discuss with Huangfu Hao and wanted the guards to stay on the mountainside while Huangfu Hao went up the mountain alone. However, the crown prince said that he never asked Huangfu Hao to leave his guards on the mountainside. The officials were ordered to search for the crown prince’s invitation, but that invitation had long been discarded by Huangfu Hao. Now that there’s no evidence, both sides are very anxious.”

Luo Tan muttered, “The crown prince asked Huangfu Hao to go, but why didn’t Young Madam Wang mention the two of them in the invitation she sent to Little Cousin?”

Everyone in the room was stunned.

They were all focused on the crown prince and Huangfu Hao and ignored Shen Miao. At this moment, after Luo Tan mentioned it, they remembered it. The crown prince and Huangfu Hao wanted to enjoy the incense, but why did they ask Shen Miao and Luo Tan to go along? Luo Tan had nothing to do with the people in the capital, but Shen Miao was different. Shen Miao was Shen Xin’s daughter.

When Shen Dongling sent the invitation, it was impossible for her not to know that the crown prince and Huangfu Hao were also coming, but why didn’t she mention it to Shen Miao? Did she forget, or did she deliberately not mention it? If she did it on purpose, why did she do it on purpose? Was she planning something?

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Luo Xueyan said, “I have to ask Shen Dongling.”

“Mother.” Shen Qiu stopped her. “Shen Dongling and Wang Bi are already in prison. We can’t see them at this time. Otherwise, it won’t be good if people think that she has something to do with them.”

When Emperor Wen Hui found out that Huangfu Hao had died and his son became the murderer for some reason, he was so angry that he almost fell to the ground. However, he had to arrest a few people to appease the anger of the people of the State of Qin. Since Wang Bi and his wife were the ones who suggested to enjoy the incense, they were no different from the instigator. Wang Bi’s beautiful dream was shattered, and it remained a question whether he could get out of it alive.

Everyone had different expressions. Only Shen Miao was as calm as ever. When she heard these things, she looked like they had nothing to do with her. Of course, they indeed did not have anything to do with her. She said, “This has nothing to do with us. Let’s wait and see how the royal family deals with it.”
