At this moment, it was as if time had stood still. Shangguan Jue's eyes were red, and the old prince's words "You must be well and live well..." were still ringing in his ears. The warmth of his fingertips was losing little by little. Shangguan Jue's words were still ringing in his ears.

Suddenly, I felt as if something had completely collapsed in my heart.

Manager Bai knelt down and cried, and Murong Yuhan's heart sank slightly. His junior brother looked at the playful and smiling face, playing in the world, but he knew that he cared about these relatives the most, because they were the only ones left around him.

Murong Yuhua turned his head slightly. He knew that Shangguan Jue needed time to accept this fact and to heal the heartache. When Murong Yuhua's eyes came into contact with the bloody clothes that were thrown on the ground, they instantly sank.

Come down.

This blood was vomited out by the old prince half an hour ago. Normal blood will turn darker after leaving the body for a while, but at this moment, the blood stains are already bright red, and the red color is not normal.

Murong Yuhua picked up the bloody clothes, stretched out his fingers to wipe a little blood, put it under his nose and smelled it. There seemed to be a trace of other smells remaining in the bloody smell. Murong Yuhua's face became more solemn,

Sure enough, there was another reason behind the old prince's death.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way -" There was a noise at the door, and it was Shangguan Yu's voice.

"Did something happen to the prince? Why are you stopping us? Where is Mr. Bai? Let Mr. Bai come out." This shrill voice belonged to Concubine Xiao.

Manager Bai ignored his sadness and stood up from the ground. The old prince passed away. He could no longer stop Shangguan Yu and others. But what should the prince do now?

After a pause, General Manager Bai stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there is a secret passage in the study that leads to the outside. Why don't you leave now." Before he died, the old prince's main thought was to let the Crown Prince return to the northwest, and General Manager Bai wanted to do that.

Follow the old prince’s wishes.

"No, you let them in." After a while, Shangguan Jue turned around and said. At this time, his expression was indifferent, and he could no longer see any emotions. He only exuded a coldness that did not allow strangers to approach him.

feel.

He was still holding the old prince's body, and his hands were stained with the old prince's blood. His cold expression was like Shura from hell, and the powerful aura he exuded made Manager Bai's words of dissuasion get stuck in his throat.

The clang of weapons clashing could be heard at the door, which was obviously a conflict between the secret guards and Shangguan Yu and others.

Manager Bai glanced at Shangguan Jue again, then quickly walked to the door and opened it.

Shangguan Yu stopped fighting when he saw the door opened. When he saw the sad look on Mr. Bai's face, he felt clear in his heart.

Concubine Xiao almost fainted, but luckily there were Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law supporting her. Everyone in the second room gathered at the door of the study, and they arrived very quickly.

"Where is the prince?" Concubine Xiao asked with a trembling voice.

Mr. Bai said: "The prince has passed away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Xiao let out an "ah" sound and fell limply on Mrs. Chen. Shangguan Yu stepped forward, pushed away Manager Bai, and rushed in quickly.

"Father——" His voice was faintly tinged with tears. When he entered the inner room and saw Shangguan Jue holding the old prince in his arms, he was stunned.

The people from the second room hurried in and were also surprised by Shangguan Jue's appearance.

After Shangguan Yu was stunned, he quickly recovered. He knelt down on the ground with a "pop", walked forward on his knees, called the old prince, and cried loudly. His cry also attracted other people in the second room.

Wow, Concubine Xiao almost fell on the old prince.

Shangguan Jue watched the second room's behavior without saying a word.

After crying for about a quarter of an hour, Shangguan Yu got up from the ground and said angrily to Mr. Bai: "Mr. Bai, my father is critically ill, why didn't you ask someone to call us? You let me not even see my father for the last time. Why did you?

It’s crazy.”

Concubine Xiao had passed out from crying. Mrs. Chen looked after Concubine Xiao while wiping her tears, but looked at Manager Bai coldly.

The people in the second room all turned against Mr. Bai. They were the relatives of the old prince. They were already very dissatisfied when the old prince insisted on leaving Mr. Bai alone. Now that the old prince has passed away, no one from their second room is with him.

By his side, Shangguan Jue, who was supposed to be far away in the northwest, was holding the old prince's body. What was going on?

Manager Bai glanced at the second roommate who was glaring at him, and said coldly: "All this is the old prince's order."

"Grandfather's orders? You are talking nonsense. You are just a slave in my Prince Qin's palace. Why did my grandfather arrange this? You must have taken advantage of my grandfather's serious illness to kidnap my grandfather. What did you say you wanted to plan?"

Her voice suddenly sounded, and her beautiful eyes almost burst into flames. She was really

She thought so, her father was her grandfather's biological son, and she was the only concubine Xiao who had been by her grandfather's side all these years. Could it be that his grandfather didn't want to see them before he died? She couldn't believe it when her father said that his grandfather was not in good health.

, but the cold corpse at this moment shows that all this is true.

Shangguan Yu saw that Manager Bai seemed to be relying on him, and his eyes passed over Shangguan Jue's body. How dare Shangguan Jue appear in Shangjing? The old prince must have asked him to come back. He didn't expect that he would be so partial until his death.

, only willing to accompany Shangguan Jue, then the last life-saving talisman of Prince Qin's palace must be in Shangguan Jue's hands.

"Come here, take down Bai Yaozu." Shangguan Yu shouted loudly, causing Manager Bai's expression to change.

Shangguan Yu actually wanted to take action at this moment, completely ignoring that the old prince's body was still cold. His filial piety and kindness were all just an act. He had no ulterior motives at all. What was he trying to do?

The guards outside heard the words and rushed in, but the secret guards belonging to the old prince did not stop him this time.

A group of people surrounded Mr. Bai.

What was supposed to be a sad scene suddenly turned into a tense and heated scene. Shangguan Yu knew very well that the old prince had been accompanied by Manager Bai day and night during this period, so he must know all those things, including the final trump card of Prince Qin's palace.

, as long as he is captured, he doesn’t believe that he can’t pry his mouth open.

"Get out of here." A cold voice remembered.

Shangguan Jue carefully placed the old prince's body on the bed, and covered him with a clean quilt. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was worried about waking up the people on the bed, but the expression on his face was completely different from his gentle movements.

On the contrary, it is so cold and cruel that it is shocking.

Shangguan Jing stepped back several steps with red eyes. She could never imagine that this playboy could exude such a compelling aura, and all the hairs on her body stood on end.

The guards surrounding Manager Bai were stunned and looked at Shangguan Yu.

Shangguan Yu was a little angry. These guards were his, but they were frightened by Shangguan Jue's words. He shouted at them: "Get started, you bastards who can't even recognize their masters."

The guards swallowed a sip of saliva, raised their spirits and drew their swords, only to find that their strength was draining away little by little. No one in the room was moving, but they had already been hit, and their hands were so weak that they could not even hold the swords.

"Ding, ding, ding!" The weapons in the hands of the guards fell to the ground, but they were already dead before they could take action.

Shangguan Yu was horrified. Those guards would not have thrown away their weapons and fell to the ground for no reason. The only explanation was that someone had done something. He knew how capable Manager Bai was. In other words, it was either Shangguan Jue or him who did it.

However, he didn't notice anything wrong with the charming man next to him. He didn't even know when these guards were fooled. He really underestimated his good nephew.

Concubine Xiao didn't know when she woke up. Seeing all this, her face became paler.

"Drag them all out." Shangguan Jue gave the order, and several men in black stepped in and dragged out the poisoned guards.

Shangguan Yu's eyes widened. Ever since the old prince fell ill, he had taken over the entire Prince Qin Mansion. He had thought that it would be easy for him to seize power from the old prince, but a Shangguan Yu could not.

His confidence was shattered.

Shangguan Yu suddenly came back to his senses, stared at Shangguan Jue with a complicated expression, and asked: "What are you going to do? Your grandfather passed away, and this slave didn't come to avenge it. Shouldn't he be punished? And why did you show up?

In Shangjing, the emperor did not issue an edict, you are treasonous——"

As if to cover up his guilty conscience, a series of questions popped out of Shangguan Yu's mouth.

Shangguan Jue stared at him coldly, his face more like that of Concubine Xiao.

"Why did my grandfather die?"

Shangguan Yu didn't know what was going on with him. When he was stared at by that knife-like gaze, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. When he heard Shangguan Jue's question again, his heart couldn't help but jump. Could it be him?

What was discovered? No, it can't be. All the famous doctors in Shangjing Tai Hospital have looked at it and they haven't found anything. Of course, Shangguan Jue won't find it either.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yu calmed down a lot. He raised his voice and asked: "I also want to ask you what's going on? My father seemed to be in good spirits this morning. My father has always disliked you the most.

I always get angry every time I see you. Is it because you said or did something to make my father angry?"

"Bah bang bang -" the applause came from Murong Yuhua.

His appearance was already enchanting. At this time, the corners of his lips were raised slightly, with a sarcastic smile, but his eyes were fixed on Shangguan Yu: "Your shamelessness is really admirable."

Those unceremonious words made Shangguan Yu change his expression. Except for Shangguan Rou, who was leaning on Mrs. Chen's side, and looking at this scene with horrified expressions, the other children in the second room were glaring at Murong Yuhan angrily.

"Who are you?" Shangguan Yu frowned. Everything today was beyond his expectation. He did not expect that Shangguan Jue would return from the northwest. He did not expect that Shangguan Jue would show such great concern for the old man's death.

reaction.

It was obvious that the two of them had never given each other a good look over the years, and could even be called hating each other. However, in the end, everything seemed to be beyond his control.

Murong Yuran was not sure whether the death of the old prince was related to Shangguan Yu, but the sadness shown by Shangguan Yu as his son after the death of the old prince was really suspicious. He couldn't wait to liquidate Manager Bai, and even

There was no time to arrange the old prince's funeral affairs, so he had to take Mr. Bai down. Everything in this was shocking and strange.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The key is that the old prince's death was not a recurrence of an old disease at all. The old prince died of a poison." Murong Yuhan's voice was slightly cold, and his beautiful eyes shone with a cold light.

.

As soon as his words came out, the whole room fell into deathly silence.

Concubine Xiao clutched the handkerchief tightly and stared at Murong Yuru with her red and swollen eyes.

Shangguan Yu had a look of disbelief on his face, and his expression was unpredictable.

Shangguan Jue walked up to Murong Yuran and said in a cold yet fierce voice: "Speak clearly."

Murong Yuwen raised the bloody clothes in his hand: "This is the blood that the old prince vomited. It is bright red in color. A person's blood will gradually darken after leaving the body, but this blood is still as bright as new, and there is still something in the blood."

There is a faint fragrance, which is the unique smell secreted by the heart-eroding Gu in southern Xinjiang."

Manager Bai rushed forward and grabbed Murong Yuhan's hand tightly: "Since you know why you didn't save the prince, why didn't you save him?"

Murong Yuran shook his head and said: "It's too late, the Heart Corroding Gu has entered the heart, and even the Great Luo Immortal can't save it."

In fact, Mr. Bai also knew very well that if he could be rescued, why would the prince's senior brother not help him? When the old prince was in danger in the northwest, it was Master Murong who helped him. At that time, he did not know that he was the prince's senior brother. Now that he wants to come
