Chapter 4400 Scapegoat
Shui Bi's words made Ye Lingyue realize that she was in a blind spot.
In the past, she enjoyed Di Xin's favor on her too much.
She did not expect that things would easily change in a hundred years.
She is not the same Ye Lingyue as before.
Emperor Xin must have also changed.
If she remembered correctly, Prince Cangmang addressed Emperor Xin as His Highness.
Being able to have the crown prince of the Lower Heaven Realm address him as "His Royal Highness" shows that Emperor Xin's current status is not simple.
In comparison, her situation was much worse, and she became a good-for-nothing and an ugly person... Ye Lingyue laughed at herself and touched her cheek.
No matter what, she should be content with what she has come. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, she still has to find a way to leave Chu Mansion as soon as possible.
Ye Lingyue had a hunch that Zhou Xiong's death seemed to have been solved.
But in fact, it has not been completely solved.
After all, the opponent is the son of the general. When the general who protects the west arrives tomorrow, he will definitely start a war.
She had to find a way to cope.
Shui Bi's rhetoric could deceive Prince Cangmang, but he may not be able to deceive the general who protects the west.
In order to better cope with it, she must think of a complete solution tomorrow.
Ye Lingyue began to think deeply...
However, it was said that it was already a quarter of an hour before Chu Mu found Di Xin and Prince Cangmang. However, before Chu Mu could ask where they had gone, Prince Cangmang had already told Chu Mu about Zhou Xiong's death.
After hearing the news, Chu Mu's expression changed drastically.
"Your Highness Di Xin, did you really kill Zhou Xiong?"
When Chu Mu saw Zhou Xiong's body, he found that all the tendons and even bones in his body had been shattered.
What a domineering power this was, it actually killed Zhou Xiong, a warrior of three seals, with just one move.
If Chu Mu had doubts about Di Xin's strength earlier, at this moment, he was already seven to eight percent convinced.
Di Xin did not answer.
"Young Master Mu, don't blame His Highness Di Xin, but blame Ye Lingyue. She seduced the drunken Zhou Xiong, and His Highness Di Xin just acted bravely."
Princess Fengfei's face was full of indignation and she pointed the finger at Ye Lingyue.
That ugly woman actually had the nerve to seduce His Highness Emperor Xin.
Your Highness must be too soft-hearted to be fooled.
"Ye Lingyue? What does this matter have to do with her? Shouldn't she stay in Huanhuaju?"
When he mentioned Ye Lingyue, Chu Mu's frown tightened even more.
What he was least happy about was hearing the news about Ye Lingyue's woman.
Prince Cangmang came, and in order not to embarrass himself in front of others, he specifically dissuaded the old lady from letting Ye Lingyue go to greet him outside the mansion.
Unexpectedly, the woman still appeared ghostly.
Chu Mu's face turned gloomy when he thought of seeing that crying woman again at the birthday banquet.
"Who knows why she is there, most likely because she knows that you have often appeared in Fenglin Xiaozhu these days. That woman has good intentions and throws herself into the arms of His Highness Di Xin. She is really mean.
"
Princess Fengfei's face was filled with envy and jealousy.
She also wanted to throw herself into Brother Dixin's arms, but she didn't even have a chance to get close to him.
Ye Lingyue threw herself into the arms of the Sword Demon?
Upon hearing this, Chu Mu became even more unhappy.
Although he had no feelings for Ye Lingyue, that woman still used her title of fiancée to hook up with other men. What was that?
But... Chu Mu looked at the expressionless Di Xin again, and couldn't help but doubt Princess Feng Fei's words.
Not to mention other things, just look at Di Xin's appearance of being repulsive to others, and look at Zhou Xiong's appearance. If Ye Lingyue really threw herself into Di Xin's arms, she would already be a corpse by now. ?
"She didn't throw herself at me."
Di Xin's next words made Chu Mu feel relieved.
As expected, Princess Fengfei exaggerated a bit.
That woman Ye Lingyue has been secretly in love with me for so many years, how could she change her heart so quickly.
Although he couldn't even remember Ye Lingyue's appearance, Chu Mu remembered clearly that when Ye Lingyue came to the Chu Mansion to seek refuge, her face was filled with admiration when she mentioned him.
"I'm interested in her."
Unexpectedly, Di Xin's next words made Chu Mu dumbfounded.
His Highness Sword Demon is interested in that ugly guy Ye Lingyue?
Princess Fengfei almost bit her silver teeth into pieces.
"His Royal Highness Sword Demon really loves to joke. How can Ye Lingyue be so good? She has no power and is extremely ugly, yet she can attract your favor, Your Highness Sword Demon."
Chu Mu shook his head.
Di Xin paused and glanced at Chu Mu as if he were a fool.
This was also the first time that Di Xin looked at Chu Mu seriously since entering the Chu Mansion.
Emperor Xin thought to himself.
The person in front of me can't be a fool.
Compared to the noisy and chattering woman next to him, the woman just now was much prettier.
Especially the "red spots" on her face, in his eyes, made her look as stunning as the sky.
Di Xin has never met a woman that interests him so far.
Ye Lingyue was the first.
Even according to what his uncle and grandma said, his destined partner is not as fun as Ye Lingyue.
Hmm... A woman who can make all formations malfunction in an instant is really interesting.
Di Xin decided that if he had the chance, he would study Ye Lingyue carefully.
"You're blind."
After saying that, Di Xin ignored Chu Mu's reaction and walked away.
You are blind, you are blind...
It took Chu Mu a long time to come to his senses. His Highness the Sword Demon actually called him blind?
"Ahem, Mr. Mu, you don't have to worry about it. His Highness the Sword Demon is more humorous."
Seeing the dull look on his face, Prince Cangmang coughed a few times, comforted him, and patted Chu Mu on the shoulder.
"His Majesty the Sword Demon is indeed very humorous."
Chu Mu smiled bitterly.
"In contrast, how do you plan to arrange Zhou Xiong's death?"
Prince Cangmang had pointed his finger and glanced at Zhou Xiong's body.
"I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to solve. To be honest, something happened to Zhou Xiong before."
Chu Mu sighed and told Prince Cangmang what happened to Zhou Xiong a few days ago.
"Seriously, it means that Zhou Xiong was killed not just because of His Highness Emperor Xin. He had two kinds of poisons, and his own strength was greatly reduced, which made him so vulnerable. With the temperament of General Hu Xi , it will definitely cause an uproar, and I’m afraid that not only the Chu Mansion, but also the Lingxi Trade Union and even His Highness Emperor Xin and Ye Lingyue will be implicated."
Prince Cangmang pondered.
Zhou Xiong's death is not simple.
"I have also thought about it. I should give General Huxi an explanation for this matter."
Chu Mu's eyes flickered.
A life is worth a life. Neither the Chu Mansion nor the Lingxi Guild, let alone His Highness the Sword Demon, could face the wrath of General Hu Xi.
"So what are your plans?"
Prince Cangmang seemed to have guessed something.
"At this time, we can only find a scapegoat."
Chu Mu thought about it and came up with only one solution.
