Wu Ma'an and Che Hongliang hurriedly followed after him. Not long after, they saw the Crown Prince vomiting at the side. Zhu Zhengqing was not the only one vomiting; many soldiers were vomiting as well.
Peace had been around for too long, and the soldiers had never seen such a scene. They almost vomited their guts out.
When Wu Ma'an and Che Hongliang saw this, they could not help but vomit.
Looking at the entire front yard, the scene was indescribably tragic. Basically, there were pieces of corpses, and there were no complete corpses.
Moreover, the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, as well as a foul stench. After all, some of the intestines were exposed, and they were all filthy things.
Zhu Zhengqing couldn't take it anymore and ran outside. Unexpectedly, he stepped on something and tripped.
His entire face sunk into a person's stomach. The problem was that the stomach was split open.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Immediately, a group of people rushed over. Many people fell to the ground. The blood on the ground was sticky and had a lubricating effect.
A few guards helped the Crown Prince up and found that the Crown Prince had fainted. They hurriedly carried him into the palace and summoned the imperial physician.
Che Hongliang and Wu Ma An calmed down a lot, and they silently walked towards the Marquis Mansion.
It turned out that the outside was just an appetizer. The inside was even more terrifying. Who was the one who made this? How inhumane!
"Old Che, the Marquis should be dead!" Wu Ma'an said as he pinched his nose.
Che Hongliang frowned deeply. Was Master Hou's death an accident or was it intentional? After all, many people benefited from Master Hou's death, such as the Crown Prince's faction and his own faction.
"Report! Found it! " A soldier covered in blood ran over to report. Basically, all the soldiers' armors were stained with blood, which was stained when they turned over the corpses.
Che Hongliang said in a deep voice, "Bring him here!"
When they saw Hou Xuelin's corpse, Wu Ma 'an and Che Hongliang were stunned.
They knew Master Hou's strength! At this time, Master Hou was divided into three parts. His right hand was connected to his head, and his head was divided into two. From the looks of the wound, it was very neat, cut by a sharp blade.
In the morning, the three of them were still discussing problems, but in the evening, their entire family was wiped out.
The two of them couldn't help but wonder if they would have become one of these corpses if they hadn't returned.
The answer was obvious.
Not long after, the soldiers found Prince Hou's sword.
Che Hongliang and Wu Ma'an knew about this sword. It was an ancient divine weapon! It was not easy to obtain!
Marquis Wangye's treasured weapon was actually cut in half. Who could have done this!
"Elder Che, even if His Majesty is resting, you still have to say something!"
"Yes, let's go together." Che Hongliang also knew the seriousness of the matter.
The palace was heavily guarded. There were more than a hundred buildings of various sizes, but they surrounded the largest palace in the center like guards.
However, this night was different from the past. There were many more patrolling soldiers, and the lights in the hall that should have been extinguished were now brightly lit.
On both sides of the palace stood solemn-looking guards, all of them armed with swords.
According to the rules, guards were not allowed to bring knives into the palace, but the situation today was different.
On the throne was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. There was a mole at the corner of his mouth, making him look quite unique. He wore a yellow robe and was currently staring downwards.
Three of them were crown prince Zhu Zhengqing, Wuma An, and Che Hongliang.
The last one was Heavenly Teacher, Ying Wei.
This was a white-haired old man, holding a long wooden stick in his hand. It looked very rough, as if it was directly chopped down from a tree. However, when this old man held it in his hand, it instantly felt different. Perhaps this was the aura of the old man!
Hou Xuelin who was covered with a white cloth was also in the hall.
The dim light made the atmosphere in the hall very heavy, making it hard for people to breathe.
Zhu Chengxuan lightly knocked on the dragon head armrest and muttered, "Blood aura!"
Ying Wei cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the appearance of the blood aura must be guarded against. In order to avoid danger, this official thinks that the imperial hunt should be canceled."
Zhu Chengxuan said gravely, "Heavenly Teacher, let's not talk about the hunt for now. First, investigate the cause of Marquis Wangye's death!"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wangye was cut into three pieces by a sharp blade!" Che Hongliang said respectfully.
"Open it and let me take a look."
Zhu Zhengqing said hurriedly, "Father, Marquis Wangye died a miserable death, or …"
"Crown prince, according to the order of seniority, you still have to call him uncle. Even I have to call him big brother!"
"Father, you are right!"
Wu Ma'an bowed and lifted the white cloth. Although the white cloth had been pieced together, the mark was still there. Everyone couldn't help but frown.
When Zhu Chengxuan saw Hou Xuelin's corpse, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. It's great that he died!
That's right! In the past, they used to address each other as brothers, but this Hou Xuelin relied on his powerful strength and didn't even put the imperial family in his eyes. Furthermore, he had a lot of small tricks up his sleeves. If one day, Hou Xuelin were to usurp the throne, Zhu Chengxuan wouldn't be too surprised.
"Where is Marquis Wangye's primordial spirit?"
"Father, Marquis Wangye's primordial spirit has dissipated. I sensed this fluctuation and woke up from my bed. I went to check on the situation." Zhu Zhengqing could be considered to be smart, he seemed to want to take all the credit for himself.
Zhu Chengxuan said faintly, "Crown prince, you did well."
Che Hongliang slightly frowned. Although this Zhu Zhengqing looks very unrestrained and unrestrained, he is still very smart at times like this.
"Did you find out who the murderer is? Is it a man or a woman? Is it tall or thin? " Zhu Chengxuan asked, but he was just putting on a show. He really wanted to reward the murderer. You did a good deed and helped me get rid of a great threat.
Ying Wei said respectfully, "Judging from the strength and viciousness of the murderer, it should be a man, and he was also holding a special blade."
"Celestial teacher is right, but is there no one left alive in the Hou Palace?" Zhu Chengxuan asked curiously.
"Father, today is Marquis Wangye's birthday. There are many guests present, including Marquis Wangye's family. None of them survived!"
Zhu Chengxuan sighed and murmured, "For thousands of years, there has never been such a tragedy in Heaven's Sanctum. We must get to the bottom of this!"
"Yes!"
"Also, bury Marquis Wangye properly. After all, he was my big brother!"
"Yes!"
Wuma An cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Wangye is already dead. The realm under his jurisdiction cannot be left unguarded!"
Che Hongliang hurriedly said.
However, Zhu Zhengqing was even faster. "Father, I am willing to take over temporarily. I will wait for you to find a suitable candidate before handing it over!"
Che Hongliang cursed at his shamelessness and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince already has a realm under his jurisdiction. I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince is overworking himself."
