Venomous Empress Reborn

782 All Yours (1)

Things seemed to have changed drastically overnight. In just a moment, the plan they carefully thought out brought them countless troubles.

Wang Bi and Shen Dongling did not expect Huangfu Hao to be killed by the crown prince. The two of them did not know what was going on. Although the crown prince’s guards had been trying their best to emphasize that the crown prince did not attack Huangfu Hao, when the crown prince arrived at Yi Feng Pavilion, Huangfu Hao was already dead. However, Huangfu Hao’s guards seemed to believe it without a doubt that the crown prince killed their master.

The misunderstanding turned into a bloody misunderstanding, and what followed was a crime that would get anyone beheaded.

Shen Dongling tried her best to maintain calm as she comforted Wang Bi, “There must be a misunderstanding. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, everything will be fine.” However, her heart sank into the abyss.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was Wang Bi who found a good incense and gave it to the crown prince. The crown prince invited Huangfu Hao to come and enjoy the incense with him. Indirectly, Wang Bi seemed to be the cause of all of it. Even if this had nothing to do with Wang Bi at all, it was impossible for Wang Bi to extricate himself from it.

Moreover, even if the crown prince was lucky enough to prove his innocence in the end, it was Wang Bi who suggested the gathering, and because of Wang Bi, the crown prince of the State of Qin was dead. The State of Qin would definitely not let this matter rest so easily. How could the crown prince not take his anger out on Wang Bi?

Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, Wang Bi, this scapegoat, would not be able to escape.

Wang Bi obviously thought of this too, and his expression was extremely ugly. However, he was still calmer than Shen Dongling. He only said, “Let’s go back first. I’ll visit the crown prince to ask him what happened.”

How did Huangfu Hao die for no reason? Who killed him? Why did Huangfu Hao shout the crown prince’s name? This was complicated and really puzzling. No matter what, they had to figure out what was going on before they could find a countermeasure.

The coachman turned his horse around and rode towards the capital. Shen Dongling seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked, “Why don’t I see Fifth Sister?”

Wang Bi was stunned.

It had to be known that the reason why they came up with this plan was to trick Shen Miao. Shen Dongling calculated the time and realized that it was the time when Shen Miao was supposed to arrive. They had stopped here for a while. Logically speaking, Shen Miao and the others should have arrived here. However, the mountain path in the outskirts was clear. There were no other carriages in front of them.

Why wasn’t Shen Miao here?

Could it be that Shen Miao already knew that something would happen today? No one in the world had the ability to predict the future. Could it be… that it was Shen Miao’s doing?

However, no matter how resourceful she was, how could she kill the crown prince of the State of Qin so easily?

When Wang Bi heard Shen Dongling’s words, he said, “That’s right. If Fifth Miss Shen is also here, things will probably be better for us.”

Wang Bi thought that if Shen Miao was around, there would be another person to share the blame. For the sake of Shen Xin, Emperor Wen Hui would not make things too difficult for him. If he was punished alone, Emperor Wen Hui would appear unfair. That was why Shen Miao’s presence would save Wang Bi a lot of trouble.

He said, “Let’s go back first. Perhaps Fifth Miss Shen has already gone back. Let’s see what the crown prince has to say about this.”
