Not to mention the three princes, no one in the entire Royal Banquet Hall could figure out this problem.
These people just couldn't figure it out, but there was one person who was scared out of his wits!
That was the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhao Yi!
This handsome and refined middle-aged man, upon seeing the two big shots standing next to the young man, his face was completely drained of blood.
When he heard Fang Mingtong say, "Because this invitation was sent by me," Zhao Yi could no longer support himself. His legs gave way and he sat down on the ground.
The Crown Prince Xia Ying and the Second Prince Xia Xiong, who were originally standing next to him, quietly moved a few steps to the side.
When Zhao Yi looked at the Crown Prince with a pleading look, he only saw an incomparably cold look!
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works … was not a small official, he was the number two figure in the Ministry of Works, one of the Six Ministries. Having been in the court for so many years, Zhao Yi instantly understood the Crown Prince's look.
After understanding, his heart was like dead ashes!
At this time, the Third Prince Xia Hao gave a hollow laugh and cupped his fists towards Fang Mingtong. "General … I have no problem, I was wrong!"
As he said this, he smiled at Chu Mo. "Young Master, I'm sorry, I didn't know you. I misunderstood you, please forgive me!" There was a trace of disdain in Xia Hao's eyes, because at this time he was looking at Chu Mo, it was difficult for others to notice the expression in his eyes.
But Chu Mo saw it.
He was provoking!
In Chu Mo's heart, a raging fire ignited, and the anger in his heart burst forth.
Although he was young, he had attended the New Year's banquet at least three or four times. Although he was not very familiar with this Third Prince, at least they had known each other for a long time.
From the beginning today, Xia Hao pretended not to know him, until now, he still pretended not to know him. As if the two of them had met for the first time today.
Chu Mo sneered in his heart. Who said that the Third Prince was just a military officer? As a member of the Royal Family … this scheming was really amazing.
Chu Mo really wanted to shout at Xia Hao, "Get lost!"
However, he knew that if he were to start a fight with Xia Hao now, then … the assassination attempt would most likely be left unsettled.
Even the main topic had been changed, so who would pay attention to this matter?
Therefore, Chu Mo smiled shyly at Xia Hao and said, "Your Highness, people of high status tend to be forgetful. We have actually met seven or eight times. It doesn't matter, Your Highness is so busy, it's not strange that you don't remember a child like me. It's natural for you to question me, why would I blame Your Highness? "
Chu Mo could feel that Xu Zhongliang and Fang Mingtong, who were beside him, let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
These two big shots … were really worried just now. They were really afraid that Chu Mo would get into a conflict with the Third Prince.
That way, even if it was reasonable … it would become unreasonable!
Previously, when the carriage they sent out didn't pick up Chu Mo, they received news that Chu Mo had been picked up by a carriage sent by the palace. The two big shots already knew that something had happened.
They knew better than anyone else whether the palace had sent a carriage or not, because they were responsible for this matter!
In the end, before they could do anything else, they received news that Chu Mo had rushed into the banquet hall angrily with a person in his hand. When the two big shots heard this, they knew that something big must have happened. Now, no matter what, they had to ensure that nothing happened to Chu Mo. Otherwise, even the Emperor would not forgive them.
Xia Hao was waiting for this young man to fall out with him. He didn't believe that this young man could tolerate such an obvious provocation.
But reality had given him a head-on blow!
Chu Mo's answer was secretly sarcastic, but it was also impeccable!
At this time, age had become Chu Mo's best weapon!
Motherf * cker! Xia Hao cursed in his heart and snorted. Then, he flung his sleeves and walked towards the Crown Prince.
The Yuan Guan Realm martial artist who was caught by Chu Mo finally understood where he was. His entire person was scared silly!
He looked at Zhao Yi, who had fallen to the ground, with his mouth agape, and his body trembled violently. He was an Yuan Guan practitioner, not someone's death warrior, nor was he an assassin. However, at this very moment, he suddenly came to a realization.
"At this time … my death is the best ending! At least, I can protect my family! "
The Yuan Guan practitioner let out a loud roar, "Chu Mo … you used a demonic technique to confuse my mind and tried to frame Zhao Yi. Your plot will not succeed! I will use my death … to prove my innocence! "
As he spoke, he raised his arm and used the Dragon Elephant Force of the Yuan Guan Realm to fiercely slap his own head!
A palm that could split a mountain and shatter rocks could easily smash a person's skull.
The Crown Prince's eyes instantly lit up!
The Second and Third Prince's eyes … also lit up!
Of course, the one with the brightest eyes was the Assistant Minister of Works, Zhao Yi, who had fallen to the ground!
"Want to die?" Fang Mingtong, who was beside Chu Mo, suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Playing this in front of me?"
Pa!
An extremely clear sound rang out.
No one saw how Fang Mingtong had moved!
But this Yuan Guan practitioner, who wanted to commit suicide, directly spun more than ten times on the spot and then fell to the ground with a plop.
His whole body was knocked out by a slap. That face … there was not even the slightest scar!
Chu Mo was incomparably shocked in his heart. Was this the power of an expert who could move unhindered in the world? Too terrifying! The control of power had already reached such a precise degree. If it was him, he could stop this person from committing suicide, but with such exquisite control of power, it was absolutely impossible.
Chu Mo's reaction was also extremely fast. He angrily roared at Zhao Yi, who was sitting on the ground, dumbfounded, "Zhao Yi! Speak, why did you want to harm me? "
Zhao Yi subconsciously swept a glance at the Crown Prince. In the end, this time, the Crown Prince did not even look at him. Beside the Crown Prince, Xia Hao's face was gloomy, his eyes … filled with coldness.
Zhao Yi's heart sank. He understood that there was no way for him to live today.
Just now, if that Yuan Guan practitioner had really succeeded in committing suicide, then … he still had a chance to live. Even in the presence of the two big shots, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet and the Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces, no one could forcibly convict him of a crime.
Some things naturally did not require evidence, but in some situations … there was a need for evidence!
But the problem was, that person did not die.
"If he doesn't die … then I naturally have to die!" Zhao Yi's heart, in an instant, completely understood.
Struggling to crawl up from the ground, his face revealing a self-mocking smile, he said, "To think that I, Zhao Yi, studied painstakingly for ten years, wholeheartedly wanting to stand out, wanting to bring glory to my family … Finally, I stepped into the imperial court. Receiving the Emperor's grace, my path skyrocketed; Finally, I reached the position of a fourth-ranked official, becoming the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works. "
At this time, no one noticed that at the entrance of the Imperial Banquet Hall, a group of people had appeared. They originally seemed to want to come in, but at this moment, they stopped there.
At this time, everyone's gaze fell on Zhao Yi, and did not notice the scene at the entrance.
"I also once thought of repaying the Emperor's grace, to do something practical for the common people of this world, to do something good. I was afraid that if I did not do well enough, I would leave behind a bad name and bring shame to my ancestors."
At this time, Zhao Yi had already walked out, a layer of redness on his originally pale face.
His gaze swept over the two big shots, Xu Zhongliang and Fang Mingtong, and he said emotionally, "The Ministry of Works is a quiet place, the people here are the true elites of Da Xia. I am very happy here. I have found the direction that I strive for in life, I have always felt that, as long as I, Zhao Yi … As long as I continue to work hard, I will definitely be able to leave my name in history like countless predecessors!
