Chapter 332: Light and dark

The smell of gunpowder... It came from the collar of Guard Chief Lu. For those who have been in the arsenal since Xiaobu, no one is more sensitive to this kind of things. However, the autopsy officer clearly said that Chief Guard Lu died of suffocation. Why did he smell of gunpowder on his body?
Kings Camp glanced at the autopsy officer and police officer subtly. There is no need for the two to lie in this regard. Once the autopsy report comes out, if the autopsy report is too far from the scene, there is no room for explanation.
In other words, suffocation is definitely one of the causes of death of Guard Lu, but it is not necessarily a fatal injury.
"Your Highness?" Seeing that Lu Chen still didn't respond, the police officer reminded him again.
Lu Chen raised his head and glanced deeply into the distance, which was the location of his father's palace. He suddenly smiled, with a look on his face that others could not understand. It seems that while talking to himself, it seems that he has thoroughly considered it: "It's up to you."
After that, he turned around and walked directly out of the banquet hall without looking at his uncle.
See where he disappeared....
The Second Princess tightly held the silk paw in her hand, her lips trembled slightly. Suddenly there was an ominous premonition....
The princess looked at her indifferently, then frowned, staring at the two grand princes not far away. In any case, she was marrying the emperor on behalf of her own country. If the emperor’s throne is unstable, why is she the princess here? The country has a firm foothold? She is different from all other women in the palace. She seems to have the strongest background, but the opposite is also the most dangerous. The neighboring kings and concubines who have no use value can return to the motherland in what way...
She lowered her eyes and looked down at the princess. After a long time, a touch of exhaustion appeared.
I thought she had a major traffic accident that year and everything would start over. Whoever thought that reality can never be as expected. My daughter, who was once so smart, was ruined by the scandal that year. Now, having just returned to the imperial capital, she was so stupid as to walk so close to the chief guard next to her father, and had a close contact with the emperor's confidant. Her reputation would not be good wherever such things were placed. She closed her eyes and forced herself under the anger that raised her heart!
In any case, the police are involved, and now it is too late to do anything more. I can only hope that her husband still has some other skills, otherwise, with the power of Lu Chen alone, even if the cause of the death of Guard Lu is found out, if the truth of the "violent death" of the four princes was as true as the two princes said, The position of her first princess can be considered to be the end of her seat...
But, who is the pianist who appeared strangely and mysteriously disappeared?
Before she left, she suddenly looked back at the indifferent Leng Yiyao.
In the audience, I'm afraid it's only her, and the one behind her can see the true face of each other clearly. After all, they seemed to be the only ones on the second floor...
The eyes of the princess were pitch black, like an abyss. After a long time, turned and left...
"Everyone, in order to cooperate with the investigation, please do not leave the imperial capital arbitrarily in the near future. The police may come to take notes at any time in the near future. Please forgive me." The police officer tried to be polite and tactful. There is no way, it is obviously unrealistic to take these powerful celebrities one by one to the police station for transcripts. But there are too few clues left at the scene, and if there is no testimony from an on-site witness, there will be no direction. Up to now, he couldn't understand. According to the time of death, the body of Guard Lu was clearly moved under the dining table under everyone's eyes. But how did this happen?
Everyone glanced at each other, although they didn't want to, but it could only be so.
There were strange expressions on the faces of the two Grand Duke lotus. They were faint and couldn't see how they felt. But, after all, the ball that opened with joy and ended with tragedy tonight really ended.
"I'll take you back." Hemo suddenly said, and handed his right hand to Leng Yiyao.
Clearly behind the mask and unable to see his expression clearly, Leng Yiyao felt that his expression looked like a smile at the moment.
A royal feast, accidents in an endless stream, can be regarded as a sufficiently strange style.
She smiled, looked towards Lu Chen's disappearance, fixed her hand for a moment, and finally reached out to Hemo's palm. The two slowly walked away from the inexplicable gazes of the police and the subtle eyes of everyone...
But everyone did not expect that just after they left, when Lu Chen stepped into the emperor's palace, the expression of the imperial doctor who was staying inside was already extremely serious.
"Don't hide from me, what happened to the father?" He walked to the bed and looked at the man with his eyes closed and plunged into the boundless darkness. He finally found out, or when he didn't notice, what the heroic father was. old. The frowning brows seemed to be struggling with everything, completely forgetting where he was. The corners of his mouth were dry, and he seemed to be saying something intermittently, but as soon as the sound touched the air, there was no trace. Even when he fell into a coma, he remained alert that ordinary people could not imagine, even if he was in his bedroom...
Hemo sighed and picked up the towel covering the top of his father's head. After soaking it, he wrung out the water and placed it on top of his head.
The temperature under his hand made his fingertips tremble slightly. The imperial doctor's voice sounded in his ears at this moment: "Your Majesty is about to be a nightmare. The most troublesome thing is that he has a high fever, and his whole body is hot."
There was a deep pain in Lu Chen's eyes, as if his whole person had settled down, just as he watched his father struggle and turn around in a daze.
"When did you start, Emperor Father's body was so bad?" He raised his head and looked at the keen-looking imperial doctor, his expression was frozen, and without the joy and anger of the past, the whole room was unexpectedly cold.
The doctor's back was slightly cold, and he really didn't want it. One day, the seemingly heartless majesty would show such a look.
"I, when I went to D City to look for you last time, your majesty's body was not very good." He bowed his head and glanced at his hands carefully.
At that time, I came to D City by disguising myself and avoiding many eyeliners. I never thought that I would still experience chase and interception all the way back. But at that time, everyone thought the same. All the assassinations and interceptions are aimed at the Great Highness, now I want to...
The expressions of the two people suddenly became cold...
Is it possible that someone is suspicious of the emperor’s physical condition...
Otherwise, how can the two grand princes dare to attack at the same time?
After so many years of enduring it, why is it "revealing" now?
"I, I was wrong..." The babble in the ear suddenly increased. The emperor's voice was restored to a bellows-like dilapidation. Although it was only a few words, it was already people able to understand what he was saying. "When... Back then... It was all... Me, my fault..."
A hard voice came from his lips.
Suddenly, the royal doctor's face stiffened, and he staggered and knelt to the ground.
At this moment, he couldn't wait to plug his ears so that he could hear nothing.
If the people outside heard the emperor's chattering at this moment, they would be able to take the matter immediately after the "four princes died suddenly".
That is, the fourth prince is only eighteen years old.
He hung his head tremblingly, and the top of his head fell on the ground, and the cold marble tiles made him unconscious. Lu Chen, who was sitting in front of the bed, didn't seem to have any reaction, just looking down at his father. In the bottom of his eyes, there was a deep flashing that no one could understand...
After a long time, he stood up suddenly, without even looking at the shivering imperial doctor: "My father’s illness will be handed over to you. Remember, no one except you and me should stay in your majesty’s palace, if anyone hears it. Words that shouldn't be heard..." His fingertips stopped at the door, seemingly carelessly, and knocked on the edge of the door. The voice was extremely crisp, but the doctor's heart felt cold for no reason.
"My chief guard will stay outside, and he will know what to do when that happens." Quietly abandoning this sentence, he turned around and left...
The moment the palace gate was closed again, the doctor collapsed to the ground bleakly.
It is the prince who grew up in the royal family. What if he used to go straight and arrogant and arrogant? In his bones, there is the blood of the royal family, cold and calm...
He suddenly glanced at His Majesty the Emperor who was in a coma on the bed, only to feel bitter in his mouth.
He shook his head, but didn't dare to think about it anymore, walked over again, took off the towel from His Majesty's forehead, and replaced it with a new one. This night, the darkness was long, far from the end...
On the other side of the royal family, a deep silence was restored after all.
Everyone seems to be waiting for an ending, but they dare not take the most critical step at this moment of crisis. The emperor didn't completely fall down in one day, who would dare to turn around easily?
Lu Chen stepped on the long and silent corridor of the imperial palace. For a long time, he only heard the sound of his own footsteps echoing in his ears, lonely and cold...
He stepped up to the observatory.
It used to be his favorite place of nostalgia as a child.
Once, when he was in a bad mood when he was a child, as long as he walked here, even if no one spoke, as long as one raised his head, the starry sky would always make him quickly turn anger into joy.
He was born in the royal family, but his matrilineal identity is mediocre. He has a businessman background in this ancient family and has never been respected. He seemed to be careless and careless about anything, but in fact he didn't want his mother and concubine to touch the scene and feel frustrated.
According to the royal tradition, the prince is not allowed to be raised by his mother. He has only one nurse who is sincere and does nothing for his own benefit. If you are sick, the other party will stay on the bed. He still remembered that one day he had a high fever, and the other party stayed up all night and knelt beside him. His dark eyes were full of worry and helplessness. The words he was thinking about were all spells he didn't understand.
Later, I finally recovered from the illness, but I heard that she went out of the palace to "repay" her wish.
Someone chuckled and said that his nanny was a superstitious little old woman, but he felt heartwarming, and gradually did not dislike the weird "secret technique" that came out of her mouth from time to time.
After all, everything is for him.
Later, when the nursing mother got older, her hands and feet were not too convenient, so he was sent to do some light work, which was considered honorable.
He looked up at the starry sky, wondering why, he would think of these old things tonight...
Looking up, the dazzling starlight came into his eyes, but it didn't make his gloomy mood any better. This night was too long...
Leng Yiyao and Hemo rode out of the palace in the same car, but she did not follow back to the marshal's mansion.
Frey drove the car very slowly, and his eyes fell from time to time behind him. After a long time, after making sure that no one was following him, he turned his head and nodded to the marshal.
At this time, Zhai Mu's car, which had been trailing behind, followed, and the two cars stopped at the same time.
Zhai Mu respectfully saluted Hemo, and his expression was slightly taken aback when Leng Yiyao got off the car.
Hemo didn't seem surprised, and only exhorted: "Pay attention to your body and go to bed early."
Looking along her back, she was so slender, but thin. In the past, I only felt that it was a kind of fun to discover her potential, but now, I actually have a feeling of reluctance. He helped his forehead, and he could hardly remember how he felt when he sent her to the military academy.
She turned her head in his inexplicable expression and waved her hand at will: "Don't worry."
The rest, but not a word.
Hemo removed the mask from his face, and that handsome and extraordinary face stared at her deeply in the car for a moment. For a long time, the corners of his lips slightly curled up. He turned his gaze slightly away, and the car slid out in the night...
Leng Yiyao was not in a hurry to let Zhai Mu drive, but sat on it and glanced lightly into the distance.
Night, very quiet, very quiet...
For a long time, the jade finger was a little far away and fell under a lighthouse that was flickering and dimming, and she calmly said to him: "Go there."
Zhai Mu didn't know what she was thinking, but according to her request, she drove the car quickly.
When we arrived, there was no one around here, and even the guards disappeared. He was about to take out the pistol, but Leng Yiyao glanced behind him calmly: "You are here..."
Lu Chen took a step, that expressionless face flickered under the flashing lights...
