Chapter 706

Tu Ma lowered his head without making a sound, but the thoughts in his mind quickly flowed. He was measuring how much profit he could reap from this matter.

Not long after that, the leader of the imperial guards returned from his inspection. He cupped his hands and reported to the emperor,

"Reporting to your majesty, your subject has visited the mansion of Prince Jin and found out that the princess of Northern Frontier City was assassinated by a dagger. The weapon is here.

"

Xu Li walked over and picked up the tray with the dagger and placed it by the emperor's side.

The emperor's forehead twitched and his voice became exceptionally cold,

"This dagger has the mark of the Internal Affairs Division. Is it a gift from the emperor?

"Xu Li, send someone to investigate and see who this dagger has been given to.

"

King Yue raised his head, his expression extremely cold.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to investigate. This dagger was bestowed to your younger brother by your Imperial Majesty.

"

The emperor was stunned. He frowned and asked,

"Jun Yue, did you really kill the princess of the Northern Frontier?

" Yue Yang's face was gloomy, his voice seemed to contain anger and anger:

"Your Majesty, your servant told you earlier that the envoy from the Northern Frontier and the princess of the Northern Frontier have joined hands and drugged me. I was drugged with sedatives and I don't even know what happened, when I regained my senses, the princess of the Northern Frontier is already dead.

It must be the people of the Northern Frontier. They must be plotting against my brother … Your Majesty,

"Tu Ao kneeled on the ground,

" His Majesty is still forcing his words. Since the dagger is a gift from the Emperor, it will naturally be carefully preserved. Ever since the Emperor ordered that King Yue replace Ning Junjin and our princess to pay respects to the Emperor, he had been unwilling to accept it. In fact, in the Jin palace, he had only paid his respects to the heavens and the earth, and then did not even make the slightest movement. Afterwards, King Yue coveted the beauty of the princess and wanted to be rude to her. The princess' violent resistance angered him and he actually crippled her …

Endure the killing …

"

King Yue sneered:

"Tu Mo, why, did you personally witness me killing Helian Li Luo?

"

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but the evidence in the room is enough to prove that what I said is true.

"

"Heh, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, would you dare to make up such a detailed story? Could it be that you are sure This King doesn't have any evidence?

" Your majesty, Yu Heng has already brought the things in the room to the palace. If you ask the imperial physician to take a look, he'll be able to find traces of the aphrodisiac and knockout drugs inside.

"

"Then announce Yuheng to come in.

"

Yu Heng opened the curtain that was wrapped around the candle and incense burner. After bowing, he respectfully retreated to the side.

The imperial physician who had been called forward picked up the items on the drapes and carefully examined them one by one. After a while, he spoke with some hesitation,

"Reporting to your majesty, these items are all commonly used. There are no problems.

"

Yue Yang suddenly raised his head, his sharp gaze shooting towards the imperial physician who was speaking.

"You better see it clearly!

"

The imperial physician trembled as he once again carefully examined her body. In the end, he shook his head.

"Reporting to your majesty, there really isn't any problem with these things.

"

Tu Ma raised his head, a cold look of ridicule flashing past his eyes:

"Your Highness, Yue Wang, are you unable to continue arguing?

" Since he dared to drug them, he would naturally arrange everything in a thorough manner. This time, King Yue was jumping into a quagmire, and it was impossible for him to wash them off.

King Yue's teeth moved slightly as a deep look flashed in his eyes.

"Imperial Brother, we should find a few more imperial physicians to examine.

"

The emperor looked at King Yue and sighed softly. Disappointment was already apparent on his face.

"That's good as well.

"

Very quickly, another imperial physician was brought over. After several rounds of inspection, he came to the same conclusion as the previous imperial physician: there were no problems with the items that Yu Heng had brought over.

The envoys from the northern border all knelt down and begged:

"Your majesty, King Fu is using his power to bully others, deliberately destroying the relationship between the northern borders and the Great Tang Dynasty, killing the princesses of my Great Lei Empire, and almost silencing us, the envoys from the northern border, please punish King Fu severely and bring justice to us.

"

"Fourth brother, what else do you have to say for yourself?

"

Royal brother, you know how I feel about Yun Yao, I only love her, so why would I covet Helian Li's beauty? I am very loyal to my royal brother, and I also agree to the peace between the northern border and the Dali Dynasty.

The envoys from the Northern Frontier Court were furious,

"Your Majesty, King Yue has inverted black and white. Back then, he held a dagger in his hand and locked his door.

"Your Majesty, please take good care of this!

"

The emperor sighed deeply as he looked troubled. After a moment of hesitation, he said,

"There are many doubtful points about this matter. We should consider it carefully …

"

"Your majesty, Princess Helian was raised by the previous Queen of the Northern Frontier and has a deep friendship with the Northern Frontier King. Now that she has been cruelly murdered, our king will definitely avenge the princess!

"

King Yue sneered:

"Are you threatening the Emperor?

"

"I am only stating my position. Since the princess was killed, the murderer must be severely punished!

"Although our Northern Frontier is not as powerful as the Great Desolate Empire, we won't allow ourselves to be humiliated either. This matter must be resolved!

"

When they heard that the emperor had not dealt with King Yue directly, the envoys from the northern border were extremely dissatisfied. Each of them were filled with righteous indignation:

"Your majesty, the evidence for King Yue's murder is conclusive. Why not punish him severely?

"

"Retreat!

" The emperor was impatient. Guards rushed in from the entrance and surrounded the envoys.

That person immediately shut his mouth and unwillingly followed Tu Ao out.

King Yue's expression was filled with disbelief. He said unwillingly:

"Royal brother, how can you believe the words of the people of Northern Frontier Tribe?

"

"Alright, I still have other things to do. You can leave as well.

" With that, the Emperor left the hall without another glance at King Yue.

Yue Yang's face was tight, his eyes were filled with rage, he glanced at the envoys from the Northern Frontier, then turned and left.

Tu Mo and his men returned to the inn. After bandaging his wounds, he immediately called for the person who had gone out to look for news.

"If there is any activity from the Yuwai Royal Manor, tell them in detail.

" Reporting to the Lord, after the King Fu left the palace, he immediately returned to the mansion, and after that, the mansion closed doors to thank the guests. When you were arguing with King Yue, she heard the news and immediately went to see Grand Princess Yi De. However, not long after she went in, she returned to the Duke's Mansion.

There was no reaction from her. Her expression was rather unsightly. According to the news that came from the estate, she had gotten very angry after she returned.

" After thinking carefully for a moment, Tu Ao's lips finally curved into a smile.

"If things are as he expected, then the chance for the Northern Frontier has come!
