There was a crisp smack that pierced everyone's eardrums.
A bone-deep wound appeared on the chest of the old man who had fallen to the ground. His exposed flesh made one's scalp go numb just by looking at it.
But he lay there motionless, without the slightest reaction.
Mo Yunxian was completely stunned.
What was going on?
"Xian 'er, stop!" Mo You rushed forward and snatched the whip from Mo Yunxian's hand.
"Cousin, he …" Mo Yunxian panicked for a moment.
"Eldest Young Lady Mo, Young Master Mo, we'll have to trouble you to come with us today." The leader of the soldiers could not stand it any longer. How could this Eldest Young Lady Mo be so cruel? The old man was already dead, but she was still whipping his corpse.
"Why should I go with you?" Mo Yunxian's expression changed. She had not imagined that the old man would really die.
The leader of the soldiers did not want to say anything more. He only ordered Mo Yunxian and Mo You to be taken away. Mo Yunxian still wanted to resist, but Mo You told her not to act rashly.
The Eldest Prince, who was sitting in a private room in a nearby restaurant, watched as the soldiers escorted Mo Yunxian and Mo You away. A trace of a smile appeared at the corners of the Eldest Prince's mouth.
"Elder Ye, according to your plan, besides Mo You and Mo Yunxian, we have already set up Ling Yan's other trusted subordinates to commit crimes. What do you think?" The Eldest Prince lifted his eyes slightly and looked at Ye Qingtang, who was standing to the side.
Everything that had happened today had been arranged by him according to Ye Qingtang's instructions.
As Ye Qingtang watched Mo You and Mo Yunxian's backs being pushed away, she maintained a light smile on her face.
"Bait. Not bad." Ye Qingtang's gaze fell on the three men who had died a violent death. She sighed inwardly, but she could not show it on her face.
She knew very well why Mo Yunxian had reacted that way. After all, if it had been her, she would not have believed that someone would suddenly sacrifice their life to frame her.
So Mo Yunxian's previous plan was not wrong. It was just that …
The First Prince's arrangements had clearly taken everything into consideration.
The Eldest Prince smiled and said, "Since we want to overthrow Ling Yan, there cannot be any loopholes. My Third Royal Brother is very intelligent. If I find someone to fake my death, he will quickly find a loophole. If it is just a dispute, it will be difficult to make a big deal out of it. Only by letting my Third Royal Brother's trusted subordinates kill commoners in public can we incur the wrath of the people in the capital city. Only then will Royal Father pay attention to this matter."
As he spoke, the First Prince watched the three corpses being carried away without a trace of pity in his eyes.
"The three of them were originally refugees from the borders and stayed in the Imperial City for half a year. If not for my kindness, they would have died long ago. Now that I need them to exert themselves, they naturally have to serve me wholeheartedly."
The First Prince said casually.
Ye Qingtang did not react on the surface, but she was sneering in her heart.
If one were to say that the Eldest Prince was cruel, she would believe it. However, if one were to say that he had good intentions, she would never believe it.
It was likely that the Eldest Prince had something on the three of them, which was why they had been forced to come to their deaths.
In her previous life, Ye Qingtang had heard of the ruthlessness of the Eternal Dynasty's Eldest Prince. Now that she had seen it for herself, he was even more ruthless than the rumors said.
