The Demon Fox Wife is a Foodie/
Chapter 162: Reversal of Situation
Of course, Chu Hua didn't tell all the details. He only said that he was cheated by the wandering Taoist priest and asked him to prepare some arsenic..
As for why Fang Hu wanted to go to Hua City to buy it…he didn't know why Fang Hu wanted to go to Hua City to buy it. It was obvious that Chu Jing had to buy it..
However, Fang Hu had told him suspiciously that Crane's Top Red was a deadly poison and that he could not leave a handle on it casually. He had spent a lot of effort to get this bottle of Crane's Top Red! He believed what he said at that time..
As for what happened after that…Chu Hua did not say anything about how he planned to steal the dragon steed for a while, but Chu Yun intercepted him. He knew that Chu Yun would not believe him if he were to burn Chu Yun..
The ministers listened to Chu Hua's explanation and their expressions were very exciting..
It was such an obvious scam, but Chu Hua was actually stupid enough to sneak in? Huh? No! If I believed your nonsense, wouldn't I be stupid? " Does the Crown Prince have any witnesses or evidence?" Wu Hongbo had expected Chu Hua to quibble and asked directly..
There's no evidence! The dragon steed had already been stolen, and that uncle had also left after staying for seven days! Chu Hua froze, not knowing what to say..
" If there is no evidence, it will be difficult for me to believe His Highness!" Lord Wu said awkwardly. He wanted to look at Chu Lie in front of him, but when he remembered that Chu Lie was not there, he could only look at the other side of him..
As long as Honored Warrior Tang did not believe it, the Crown Prince's words would definitely be useless..
As expected, Minister Tang's expression was still gloomy. He looked at Chu Hua and snorted coldly." Nonsense! Your Highness, are you kidding me? If there's some dragon aura in the dragon steed, wouldn't ordinary people buy a few more dragon steeds and become the emperor? If Your Highness was really deceived by such a simple lie, then Your Highness is indeed not suitable to sit on the throne!" Chu Hua was speechless..
After these days of thinking, he had already figured out that whether it was Liu Ran who suddenly ran out or the dragon aura of the dragon steed, they were all fake, just to make him steal the dragon steed and buy the crane crown red..
Moreover, it seemed that Fang Hu, who had been drinking with him previously, was most likely Chu Yun's man. Otherwise, why did he have to go to Hua City to buy it? Moreover, he was the one who reminded him that he could use poison. Otherwise, he would not have bought the Crane Peak Red! Chu Yun, Chu Yun, you really didn't leave any way out for yourself! Thinking of this, Chu Hua could not help but laugh at himself..
Perhaps Chu Yun is more suitable to be the King of Chu than this idiot…Mother, did you ever think about how much pain you would bring to me if you let me hold on to the position of Crown Prince? Chu Hua's frustration did not last long, because Wang Erzhe had already spoken..
" Old Tang, why are you so aggressive?" Wang Erzhe slowly said," I think what the Crown Prince said is true. Although it's a little foolish…stealing the dragon steed and buying the Crane Peak Red is just a small matter!" " Oh? According to what the Prime Minister said, what's the big deal?" Revered Master Tang was so angry that he laughed. He definitely did not expect Wang Erzhe to protect Chu Hua at this point! " This old minister thinks…killing the king, stealing the kingdom, and stealing fame are major matters!" Wang Erzhe suddenly changed his tone and said confidently..
Minister Tang was stunned and asked," Prime Minister, do you really believe the Crown Prince's nonsense? Even so, it is true that the King died of arsenic poison, and only the Crown Prince has possessed this poison recently. How can Prime Minister determine that the King was not killed by the Crown Prince?" At this point, Wang Erzhe smiled faintly and said," Because…the king is not poisoned because of poisoning in the food!" " Prime Minister! You can't say anything about this! At that time, Kunlun and Imperial College observed the King's body and concluded that the King died of arsenic poisoning. Doesn't that mean that Kunlun and Imperial College were wrong?" Wu Hongbo, the Minister of Justice behind him, quickly reminded..
" I didn't say that the king didn't die from arsenic poisoning!" Wang Erzhe glanced at him indifferently, his gray eyes calm..
"Then…then what does the Prime Minister mean…" " It's true that the king ate arsenic and died. However, the poison of arsenic must not have been put into the food!" He turned to look at Minister Tang." Old Tang, does what this old minister said make sense?" Reverend Tang frowned as if he was thinking..
"Those who ingest arsenic will bleed to death from all seven orifices within half an hour, and the king was found dead at dawn the next day! If the king was poisoned by arsenic in his food last night, how could it be It took so long for someone to discover it! Old Tang, you can't be unaware!" After thinking for a long time, Honored Warrior Tang finally sighed and said," I've thought about this too. The person who poisoned him must have sneaked into the bedroom late at night and poisoned him while the king was asleep! The arsenic in the food was just a cover!" " But even so, we can't deny the possibility that the Crown Prince committed a crime!" Wu Hongbo said again..
Wang Erzhe frowned and looked at him coldly." What time did the palace maids and guards see the Crown Prince looking for the King?" " This…this…" Wu Hongbo was speechless..
"It was about midnight, and the king had already finished his supper..
"This is what I saw with my own eyes, and it can't be fake! His Highness was chased back just to see the king, and he hasn't come back since!" Hearing this, everyone in the court was stunned. They looked at each other..
The prince left at Zishi.
Chu Gang died before dawn..
If the poison was given by the crown prince, then the king woke up hungry at night and took out the poisoned food and ate some more..
and then poisoned..
:.
: It's kind of funny..
" Could it be that the Crown Prince secretly went to the King's bedroom late at night to poison him? Because Old Tang said that the King was poisoned while he was sleeping, then who could enter the King's bedroom during this period of time…After all, only the Crown Prince has this poison. I only suspect it!" Zhou Shuyuan, the Minister of Revenue, suddenly said..
Even Elder Tang fell silent for a moment..
"Logically speaking, the Crown Prince is just a mortal. He would definitely be discovered by the palace guards if he sneaked into the King's bedroom late at night! No matter how powerful he is, can he escape my perception of the third realm?" Be reasonable. It's unlikely..
However, at this point, with all other possibilities excluded, this might really be the last possibility! Perhaps Chu Hua had someone behind him to help him escape everyone's perception, including himself! Could it be that some fourth-level grand cultivator ignored the array and the Demon Discrimination Mirror and came to the Chu Palace to assassinate King Chu? Looking at everyone's silence, Wang Erzhe no longer kept them in suspense..
"Actually…this old minister has already investigated the true cause of the king's death!" "Huh?" This time, everyone was stunned! You've done your research? We've been guessing this for a long time, and you're telling me now? " Prime Minister, please speak!" At this time, the first one to speak was actually Minister Tang. It was obvious that he really wanted to know how Chu Gang died..
" Elder Tang! If a demon that cannot be seen by the Mysterious Demon Mirror sneaks into the palace without using any magic to assassinate King Chu, is it possible?" Although it was a bit of nonsense, High Priest Tang still lowered his head and thought for a while." Without using magic, the Demon Identification Mirror won't detect us…It's indeed possible for us to travel across the sky! Some demons are hard to detect, but we can infiltrate through our bodies. This is indeed possible! For example, bird demons that can fly, insect demons that are good at drilling into the ground, can infiltrate the palace without using magic!" " That's great!" Wang Erzhe nodded..
" But Prime Minister! I can tell you responsibly that unless it's a greater demon beyond the third realm, it's impossible for it to escape the detection of the Mysterious Sky Demon Mirror!" Honored Minister Tang immediately said," This is also the reason why I didn't consider the demons who sneaked into the palace through their real bodies!" Wang Erzhe smiled faintly." Elder Tang…don't be too full of yourself!" Reverend Tang was stunned. He didn't know what he meant..
At this moment, he heard a servant shouting outside the hall..
" Reporting to my lords! Kunlun disciples are here to see you!" When the confused ministers heard this sentence, they all looked at each other for a long time..
The people of Kunlun had always been independent and never participated in the affairs of the mortal world. Why did they have to join this court meeting? Wang Erzhe thought to himself,"It's just the right time!" "Quickly invite the lords of Kunlun into the hall!" Everyone present, including the Third Realm High Priest Tang, was respectful to the Kunlun people. They were just officials of a small dynasty in the mortal world, and the other party was the high and mighty Kunlun Immortal! Not long after, three young men and women wearing green sword uniforms entered the hall..
Ignoring everyone's gaze, he walked straight to the front of the hall, in front of Wang Erzhe..
There were three of them, two men and one woman. Besides Lu Bingchun and Liu Yueyingshuang, there was another young man with them..
" May I ask, my lords, what are you here for?" Wang Erzhe pretended to ask..
Lu Bingchun snorted coldly. He turned around and looked around. He couldn't find the two of them. He frowned and asked," Where are the Prince and the Crown Prince?" At this moment, everyone realized that the Prince had followed Chu Yun out of the palace after he entered the palace. He had not returned yet..
But…why did this Kunlun person want to see them when he came in? Seeing that no one answered, Lu Bingchun snorted coldly again and said angrily," We have already investigated the cause of King Chu's death! We are here to inform you that you must not frame a good person!" At this time, the Tang priest could not help but say,"Please explain clearly how the king was killed!" Faced with a third-level boss, the three of them did not dare to be negligent and bowed one after another..
" Everyone! After we have verified many things, your king was killed by a demon! Therefore, Kunlun will not stand idly by in the case of King Chu's death!" Lu Bingchun said loudly. Then, he threw out a piece of news that made everyone's faces change." In addition, we would like to ask Prince Chu Yun to follow us back to Kunlun! After the sect's decision, Chu Yun is suspected of colluding with demons and is suspected of plotting against King Chu!"
