Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

189 HISTORY REPEATED ITSELF

Yes, it was Bai Renshu who hanged himself from the high ceiling in Zuigao Hall. A rope wrapped around his neck, and all four of his limbs fell weakly without being able to move again. A pair of blue eyes opened slightly, but there was no light from those eyes anymore. Even his mouth opened slightly, but instead of saying a word, it only let out a small part of his tongue.

The body hanging from the ceiling had indeed not moved anymore, and that was because the owner of the body had died. No more soul inside the body.

“Why...” Someone suddenly whispered not far from where Bai Chen was standing. “Why would you do something like this, Bai Renshu?”

That person dared to say Bai Renshu’s name instead of addressing him by his official title, and when Bai Chen turned his head towards the person who had just whispered weakly, he could see that it was Bai Guowei who was staring at Bai Renshu’s corpse in horror.

The Emperor’s pair of blue eyes widened in Bai Renshu’s direction, and Bai Chen could see a hint of disbelief in them. Even if Bai Guowei was very good at hiding his emotions most of the time, Bai Chen could see that Bai Guowei had a mental breakdown after seeing how his eldest son committed suicide in the Zuigao Hall, and the Emperor couldn’t even conceal his feeling right now.

‘After all, Bai Guowei also witnessed how his wife committed suicide many years ago, and it seems history is repeating itself in Bai Guowei’s eyes,’ Bai Chen thought to himself as he turned to Bai Renshu’s corpse again. ‘But, why did you kill yourself, Bai Renshu? Was it because Shao Meihui had died before you?’

Bai Chen couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, but of course, his question wouldn’t get any answers. At a glance, it seemed that his pair of blue eyes made contact with another pair of the same color that belonged to the Crown Prince, but he knew that Bai Renshu could not see him even if his eyes were slightly open.

Bai Chen still couldn’t believe what he was seeing, but now he could once again blink his eyes and move his limbs once more, but he could still feel how his body had lost its temperature after seeing Bai Renshu’s corpse.

“It will be best if you order your subordinates to get Crown Prince Bai Renshu down from that position, Emperor Bai Guowei. Won’t you feel bad to see your son in this state for a long time?” Someone spoke again, and when Bai Chen once again turned his head stiffly to look at the person who had just spoken, he could see that it was Emperor Wu Shun who had just given advice to the other Emperor.

.....

Bai Chen did not see the Emperor of Wu Li before, but he assumed that the man might have come to the Zuigao Hall with Bai Guowei since the two of them had also left the hall together before.

Leaving Wu Shun’s figure, Bai Chen once again turned his blue eyes towards Bai Guowei, and he could see how the white-haired Emperor was deep in thought for a moment before he raised his right hand and nonverbally ordered the palace guards who were gathering in front of the hall to retrieve the Crown Prince’s corpse from the ceiling.

It seemed that Bai Guowei was willing to listen to Wu Shun’s suggestion, and Bai Chen once again brought his pair of blue eyes to look up where Bai Renshu’s body was hanging from the high ceiling.

He could see how several palace guards were trying to get Prince Bai Renshu’s body out from the high place, but he couldn’t stare at them any longer because someone suddenly broke the silence in the hall once again.

“Why did Bai Renshu kill himself, Bai Chen? What did he tell you before he killed himself?”

To everyone’s surprise, the question was directed to Bai Chen, and when the brown-haired Prince turned his head to the side, he could see that it was Bai Guowei who had just questioned him.

Bai Guowei’s pair of blue eyes were now directed at him, and they looked so cold and distant as they challenged his youngest son’s pair of eyes.

Bai Chen had thought that the Emperor would question him. After all, Bai Guowei saw how he and Bai Renshu were the only ones staying in the hall after he left with Emperor Wu Shun, and it could be said that he was the last person to speak to Bai Renshu before this incident happened.

One would easily ask for his testimony after seeing how Bai Renshu hung herself from the ceiling within the Zuigao Hall, and Bai Chen had expected it.

“We were only talking about Yong Lady Shao, Your Majesty,” Bai Chen answered the question honestly. “Like how Lord Shao suspected me, Crown Prince Bai Renshu also felt suspicious of me, and that’s why we talked a little about the incident before I decided to leave him in the hall. I didn’t expect something like this to happen to him.”

Previously, Bai Chen had immediately left the hall because he thought that there was no need to continue talking to Bai Renshu as the man would only suspect him blindly without hearing his explanation.

He assumed that talking to the older man would be a waste of time, and that was why he immediately left the man without turning around. He even thought that Bai Renshu would also leave the hall soon after his departure, but he was wrong in his assumption because Bai Renshu never left the great hall even after he left the place.

“You said you didn’t expect Bai Renshu to die?” Emperor Bai Guowei suddenly sneered at the brown-haired Prince. “Are you sure about that, Bai Chen? I know the two of you did not have a good relationship since many years ago, and you would probably feel happy if Bai Renshu died, right? Did you deliberately provoke him to commit suicide?”
