Things seemed to have changed beyond recognition overnight. The limitless glory that he had originally envisioned had turned into countless troubles in just a moment's time.
Wang Bi and Shen Dong Ling never thought that HuangFu Hao would actually be killed by the Crown Prince. The two of them had no idea what had happened. The Crown Prince's bodyguard had been trying his best to emphasize that the Crown Prince had not done anything to HuangFu Hao. By the time the Crown Prince reached the Yi Feng Pavilion, HuangFu Hao was already dead. But HuangFu Hao's guards seemed to believe it without a doubt.
The misunderstanding had already been created, not to mention it was a bloody misunderstanding. Therefore, what followed was a shocking accusation.
Shen Dong Ling tried her best to maintain a calm expression on her face as she comforted Wang Bi, "There must be some misunderstanding. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, everything will be fine." However, her heart was sinking into the abyss.
From an outsider's point of view, it was Wang Bi who found the good incense and gave it to the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince used the flower to present the Buddha to HuangFu Hao, who invited HuangFu Hao to taste the incense together. Wang Bi was the source of the disaster. Even if this matter had nothing to do with Wang Bi, it was impossible for Wang Bi to leave unscathed due to the fury of the Imperial Family.
Furthermore, even if the Crown Prince was lucky enough to prove his innocence in the end, Wang Bi was the one who came up with the plan to taste the incense. Because of Wang Bi's plan, HuangFu Hao was dead, and the Qin Kingdom would not let the matter rest. The Crown Prince's ally was also dead, so how could the Crown Prince not vent his anger on Wang Bi?
Therefore, looking left and right, Wang Bi, the scapegoat, could not escape.
Wang Bi clearly thought of this too, his expression ugly to the extreme. In the end, he was more composed than Shen Dong Ling and only said, "Let's go back first and visit the Crown Prince's residence to find out what exactly happened."
How did HuangFu Hao die just like that? Who killed him? Why did Huangfu Hao call out the Crown Prince's name again? The intricacies of this matter were truly incomprehensible. No matter what, he had to figure out what was going on first before he could come up with a countermeasure.
The coachman turned the horse around and ran in the direction of the city. Shen Dong Ling seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, "Why haven't I seen Fifth Sister?"
Wang Bi was taken aback.
One must know that this plan was used by the Crown Prince because of Shen Miao. This was because Shen Dong Ling had calculated the time and arrived at Yi Feng Pavilion at about the same time as Shen Miao. This way, they could chat casually and show their 'deep sisterhood'. They stopped here for a while and it was reasonable to say that Shen Miao and the rest should also be here. But on the mountain road in the outskirts, one could see clearly in front of them, and there were no other carriages ahead or behind.
Why did Shen Miao not come?
Wang Bi only knew that Shen Miao was Shen Dong Ling's Third household's Tang Younger Sister and because Shen Xin held great power in his hands, he did not know anything about Shen Miao's character. Shen Dong Ling however had seen the methods that Shen Miao used to deal with the Second and Third household and her heart sank.
If Shen Miao did not come, how could it be such a coincidence? Could it be that Shen Miao had long known that something would happen today? There was no one in the world who had the ability to predict the future. Could it be that … this matter was related to Shen Miao?
No matter how powerful she was, how could she kill the Crown Prince of the Qin Kingdom so easily?
When Wang Bi heard Shen Dong Ling's words, he misunderstood Shen Dong Ling's meaning and said, "That's right. If Fifth Shen Young Lady was also here, things would most likely be smoother."
Wang Bi thought that with one more person, he would be able to share more of the blame. If Shen Miao was here, on account of Shen Xin, Emperor Wen Hui would not make things too difficult for him but if he were to punish him alone, it would appear to be biased. In order to show fairness, Shen Miao's presence would save Wang Bi a lot of things.
He said, "Let us return to the residence first. Perhaps Fifth Shen Young Lady has already returned. Let's take a look at the Crown Prince's side first. "
