Chapter 262 Why are you so awesome, Prince?

As Xue Xing finished speaking, several guards dragged a bloody man in black into the hall.

"This is the murderer I caught. He has confessed. The second and third princes, including Your Majesty, were poisoned to death by him at the order of the Crown Prince in front of us many years ago."

Upon hearing this, a noisy discussion broke out in the hall. Some people deliberately fanned the flames and said that Xue Qinghe had evil ambitions, some did not know the truth and were secretly suspicious, and some supported the prince's ascension to the throne but were filled with anxiety.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Xue Xing looked at Xue Qinghe in the center of the hall with burning eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

The little angel glanced at the guests in the hall without caring and said loudly:
"This is only Prince Xuexing's one-sided statement. If I find a confidant to pretend to be the murderer, can I also slander that my father was killed by the emperor's uncle?"

"Yes, this is just Prince Xuexing's one-sided statement. Don't take it seriously."

"That's right. I think Xue Xing has evil intentions and wants to seize your position as the legitimate ruler."

The prince's supporters responded instantly and began to denounce Xue Xing, while people from Xue Xing's lineage began to refute the prince's party.

"Uncle, you've seen it too. We should hand the murderer over to the royal family for interrogation. This will clear our name. Is this a possible conspiracy of the Xing Luo Empire?"

The little angel winked at the royal family member, and the old man understood instantly. He waved his hand and called a group of guards to drag the murderer away.

But just as the guards approached, the already dying murderer breathed his last and died on the spot.

The clan member was stunned for a moment, and now he didn't know what to do.

"This"

"Humph, there's no need to go to such trouble. We also found the prince's token from the criminal. I'm sure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be familiar with this, right?"

Xue Xing didn't care about the dead villain. It was obvious that he had expected this scene. This person was the one he deliberately arranged to frame Xue Qinghe. Then he took out a prince token from his arms, raised his hand and presented it to everyone. The two words Qinghe came into view.

Now, even the neutral people began to change their attitude towards Xue Qinghe.

"Uncle, I reported this token to my father more than ten years ago. I didn't expect that you took it. I guess you must have put a lot of effort into this scene today, right?"

"Humph, this is what you call one-sided testimony. In the presence of witnesses and physical evidence, you want to frame me with just your mouth. How can this be justified?"

Xue Xing blew his beard angrily and then looked at the royal family member beside him.

"Whether this is true or not, Xue Qinghe is not fit to succeed the throne today. Until the matter is fully investigated, Your Highness, please stay in the palace and do not go anywhere."

"Three generals, first capture the biggest suspect in the plot to murder His Majesty."

"Yes."

The three Soul Douluos immediately released their martial spirits, and the clan members who were shaken aside were completely confused, not understanding how things had suddenly developed to this point.

The little angel had anticipated that Xuexing wanted to cut the Gordian knot and put himself under house arrest first, but of course his plan would not go as he wished.

Just when the three Soul Fighters were about to attack the little angel, a Seven Kill Sword appeared between the four of them, shocking the three Soul Fighters and forcing them to retreat.

"Your Majesty, please do not interfere in the affairs of the royal family. This is an internal matter of the Xue family."

The thing that Xue Xing was most worried about happened. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect chose to stand behind Xue Qinghe, and Yu Yuanzhen, not knowing what benefit he had received from Xue Xing, hurriedly stood in front of Xue Xing.

Chen Xin did not reply, but just looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him.

While the two sides were confronting each other, Ning Bei whispered something to Ah Zhu beside him, and the other party immediately disappeared on the spot.

Ning Fengzhi walked past Chen Xin and bowed to Xue Xing, then said:

"You want to attack the crown prince based on just a few words? Isn't Your Highness Xue Xing a bit too arrogant?" "Humph, the evidence is irrefutable. Taking him into custody pending trial is already giving the crown prince enough face. Is Sect Master Ning trying to protect the criminal who murdered the king?"

Ning Fengzhi frowned at her sharp words. Just as he was about to say something, Ning Bei saw Ah Zhu return and immediately spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"Your Highness Xue Xing's words are a bit one-sided, aren't they? Since when did it become popular in the Tiandou Empire to use a token to determine life and death?"

"Humph, who are you? How dare a young boy like you interfere in the affairs of the royal family?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that Your Highness, please tell me if a token can decide the life or death of the prince?"

"The token is just an item to prove the prince's crime. What does it have to do with a life-and-death decision?"

Ning Bei showed a strange smile on his face. Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly walked to the dying criminal and squatted down. After fumbling for a while, he took out a token from his arms. The words engraved on the token made the little angel's eyes light up, and she gave a thumbs up to her man in her heart.

Ning Bei slowly raised his hand, and the word "star" on the token appeared clearly in front of everyone.

"Your Highness Xue Xing, is there anything else you want to say?"

When Xue Xing saw the token, her face suddenly changed. She subconsciously reached into her arms. Where was her token? Then she pointed at Ning Bei in front of her with an angry look on her face.

"You kid framed me?"

"Oh? If His Highness Xue Xing finds the token, then we have all the evidence, and if I find the token, then it's a frame-up? What a good logic!"

Ning Bei's face was full of sneer, and he looked at Xue Xing as if he were a dead person.

"you you."

Xue Xing pointed at Ning Bei, not knowing what to say. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, she planned to leave and plan for future actions.

Just as Yu Yuanzhen was protecting Xue Xing and his group as they walked out of the hall, Ning Bei called out to them.

"Wait, you want to leave now that the truth has been revealed? Where do you think this is?"

Xue Xing and Yu Yuanzhen turned around and looked at Ning Bei with unfriendly eyes.

"What else do you want? I am the prince of the Tiandou Empire."

Ning Bei raised his eyebrows, walked towards them, and said disdainfully:

"First, the prince's framing of the current emperor cannot be treated as nothing happened."

"Second, you are not qualified to be called a brat."

When he walked in front of the few people, Ning Bei's nine soul rings rose one by one and appeared in front of everyone. The ministers and distinguished guests in the hall all showed expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and then took a breath of cold air.

Snow Star and Avalanche in front of them were shaking like sieves, looking at Ning Bei with doubtful expressions.

Yu Yuanzhen beside him also began to regret his decision and said that he should not have gotten involved in this mess. It was really because the benefits Xue Xing promised were too generous for him to refuse.

After the matter was accomplished, Xue Xing agreed to let Yu Yuanzhen go to the Tiandou Treasury to choose any three soul bones. As the leader of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, how could he refuse?

Now, not only has the plan failed, but he has also offended a terrifying existence. He has lost both the wife and the army.

After thinking everything through, Yu Yuanzhen immediately made a wise decision.

"Your Majesty, I am Yu Yuanzhen. I was deceived by Xue Xing and participated in the attempt to frame the Crown Prince. I hope you will leave me alone."
