Venomous Empress Reborn

603 You Have to Stay Away From Prince Rui (2)
With an extremely dark face, Huangfu Hao sneered and said, “In the territory of Ming Qi, the princess of the State of Qin was actually humiliated to death like this. I can’t help but wonder what Ming Qi is up to. Perhaps I should report this matter to my father and ask him to make a decision.”

Emperor Wen Hui rubbed his forehead. Huangfu Hao’s threatening words made him very displeased. However, this matter happened too suddenly, and even Emperor Wen Hui still didn’t know what was going on. The Marquis of Lin’an, Xie Ding, knelt down and said with tears streaming down his face, “Your Majesty, please investigate this case thoroughly! I beg you to give my sons the justice they deserved!”

All the civil and military officials in the throne room sighed. How glorious was the Marquis of Lin’an back then? When he was young, he was so high-spirited and bold that he could even refuse to listen to the emperor’s orders while he was in battle. He even married the noble Princess Yuqing. However, ever since Princess Yuqing died, the Marquis of Lin’an seemed to have lost his vitality and gradually declined. Xie Jingxing, who was originally a rare talent, was buried on the battlefield under the mud. Emperor Wen Hui originally planned to deal with the Marquis of Lin’an. Later, when he saw that after Xie Jingxing died, the Marquis of Lin’an hit rock bottom, he decided to let the Marquis of Lin’an off. Now that with the remaining two sons of the Marquis of Lin’an gone tragically, Xie Ding would die without descendants and the Marquis of Lin’an would be forgotten by history. The stark contrast between now and then made everyone present feel sad.

Huangfu Hao stole a glance at Xie Ding, and there was a trace of malice in his eyes. No matter if the Xie brothers really did anything with Princess Ming An, there was no doubt that Princess Ming’an’s innocence and dignity were ruined by the Xie brothers. Although the person behind the scenes was the most detestable, the Xie family could not be let off either. When did the royal family of the State of Qin ever suffer humiliation like this? Huangfu Hao looked at Xie Ding and made up his mind.

Emperor Wen Hui felt a headache coming on. He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said in a low voice, “This matter is very serious. Someone committed such a heinous crime under my nose. It’s outrageous. I’ve already instructed the Judicial office to investigate this case thoroughly. They will definitely catch the person behind it and give everyone an explanation!”

Huangfu Hao was still not happy. He cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, please agree to let the people of the State of Qin be involved in the investigation of this case. Otherwise, when I return to the country, I won’t be able to answer to my father.”

In other words, he did not believe that Ming Qi would really investigate this matter thoroughly.

Emperor Wen Hui suppressed the anger in his heart and said, “Granted.”

After Emperor Wen Hui left, most of the officials in the court were not familiar with Huangfu Hao, so they would not take the initiative to go up to him. However, the Marquis of Lin’an was a big family in Ming Qi after all. Everyone went forward to express condolences to him.

Unlike the others, someone actually walked to Huangfu Hao and said gently, “Your Highness, my condolences.”

This person was Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi.

When Huangfu Hao saw Fu Xiuyi, his angry expression did not soften. He cupped his hands and was about to leave when he heard Fu Xiuyi say softly behind him, “I have some thoughts about this murder case. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to hear them.”

Huangfu Hao was stunned. At this moment, the officials were busy comforting the Marquis of Lin’an, so no one saw what the two of them were doing. Huangfu Hao sneered and asked, “Prince Ding, do you know who is behind it?”

“I just found something strange.” Fu Xiuyi smiled indifferently. “If Your Highness is interested, I’m willing to discuss it with you.”
