"Yes sir!" Jiang Fu said affirmatively, "The guard told me that he claimed to be the distant cousin of the green clothed lady. He took advantage of the opportunity to visit the green clothed lady." "The guard thought it would be difficult for him to come, so he sent for someone to inform Lady Green-clothed so that you could come and see her; but it just so happened that Wyon happened to come by and he said that His Majesty had sent the girl to attend to some errands and that he would not be able to come for a while, and then he told her that he had brought Wang Hu to meet the girl and that if there was anything, he would take it all on himself."

Lu Yi's face was extremely ugly. Wang Hu was one of the experts sent to monitor Dong Fang Kun, and now that he suddenly came back to the capital and impersonated as his cousin, he must have met King Rui at the palace. Something must have happened to King Rui's side, but before they even met, he was killed by Huai En. Wyon was King Rui's man?

She couldn't tell him the truth, so she could only tell him in an obscure tone, "Your Majesty, Wang Hu is indeed a servant cousin. When he was young, they often played together, and he treated us very well; a few days ago, a servant received a letter from him saying that he would go to the Southern Territory to purchase some goods, and that if he had the time, he would come to Jinling to visit me. At that time, the Qi army was in danger, so this servant specifically warned him to be careful. This servant harmed him. " After saying that, she kneeled down, her eyes filled with tears as she said, "I plead for Your Majesty to uphold justice for this servant. I plead for this servant's elder cousin to be impartial!"

Dongfang Ru was very clear about Lu Yi's background. After hearing her words, he understood Wang Hu's identity. He said in a deep voice, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, so you should get up."

When Green-clothed stood up with tears in her eyes, Dongfang Cong stared at Wayne gloomily, "Is what Jiang Fu said true?"

"This old servant has no enmity with Miss Green Robed Maid, why would I kill her cousin? All of this is Jiang Fu's doing to this old servant, Your Majesty, do not trust him!"

Jiang Fu immediately said, "Your Majesty, the corpse is in the dried up well. As long as you send people to take a look, they will know whether the servant's words are true or not. The two guards from the Godly Martial Sect who met Wang Hu also know that the servant's words are true!"

After a brief moment of silence, Dong Fang continued to shout: "Someone come!" Following his order, two inner guards pushed open the door and entered, bowing and waiting for Dong Fang Qian's orders.

"Immediately send people to the well in the backyard of the Cold Palace to check. If you discover any corpses, bring them over immediately. Also, send two Imperial Guards who are on duty at the Divine Martial Sect over here. We have something to ask them."

Hearing the two words "corpse", the two supervisors' expressions simultaneously changed. However, they knew very well that they were on duty in the palace. The worst thing they had to do was to ask more questions, silently swallow the surprise at the corner of their mouths, and retreat.

After the two eunuchs left, the great hall was completely silent. The atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost suffocating. Dongfang Shaoyang sucked in a mouthful of air with his hands and half closed his eyes as he leaned against the Nine Dragons Throne.

Accompanied by the flickering light from the sky and the whistling wind outside the window, muffled sounds of thunder could be heard. It seemed that a thunderstorm was coming today.

When heavy rain was pouring down on the ground of the Palace, the two eunuchs finally returned and said in a flustered tone, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is indeed a corpse hidden in the well of the Cold Palace. This servant has already followed Your Majesty's instructions and brought the corpse here, and outside, the two guards of the Divine Martial Sect are already waiting."

Dongfang Fei nodded and stood up. He said to Lu Yi, "Follow me out."

When they saw Dong Fang Qian coming out, all the palace servants waiting under the eaves kneeled down and greeted him. Lu Yi lifted the white cloth covering the corpse and glanced at it, then returned to Dong Fang Qian's side and said softly, "Your Majesty, it is indeed a person sent by this servant to monitor King Rui. If he was really killed by Wan En, this will not be a simple matter."

Dongfang Shaofeng looked at the torrential rain outside his eaves. With a grave expression, he said, "After the rain stops, immediately send a message to ask what exactly happened over there."

When she answered, his gaze turned and fell on the two guards who were drenched from the rain. He said with an expressionless face, "Follow me!"

"Yes." The two guards did not dare to hesitate, and immediately followed Dongfang Ru into the main hall, with rain dripping down from the corners of their clothes, forming two long lines of water behind them.

They had just steadied themselves when a voice as cold as frost rang out in the hall. "Do you know the person who died?"

The guards looked at each other. One of them shrank and stuttered: "To reply Your Majesty, your subordinate... This subordinate knows him. About four to six hours ago, he came to the Divine Martial Sect and said that he was called Wang Hu and that he was Lady Lu Yi's distant cousin. He wanted to meet her, but … "Later …"

The guard's spitting and spitting infuriated Dongfang Qing. He snapped, "What are you waiting for? Spit it out!"

The guard paled and quickly replied, "Later on, Eunuch Huai came over and said that he took Wang Hu to meet Lady Lu before leaving. When I saw Wang Hu again, he had already turned into a corpse."

The Headmaster's eyes narrowed as he coldly asked, "Are you sure that it was Wyon who took Wang Hu away?"

The guard quietly looked at Wyon. The moment his four eyes met the guard's gaze he quickly moved away: "Your subordinate is indeed …" "Yes."

Dong Fang Qian's expression was as overcast as the raging thunderstorm outside. He slowly walked up to the terrified Wynn and coldly said, "The witness and evidence are here, what else do you have to say for yourself?"

Wynn's spirit trembled, he regained his senses, and kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic, "This old servant is innocent! This old servant did not kill anyone, I beg Your Majesty to observe clearly! "

"You dog!" Dong Fang Qian kicked him to the ground and said in disgust: "Even now, you are still lying. Why did you kill Wang Hu?"

"Your Majesty, this old servant has been by your side for so many years, you know best what sort of person this old servant is. Besides, this old servant is already over fifty years old, his body is weak, and he has to pant when walking fast. How could he possibly kill him, let alone throw him into the well? This is all Jiang Fu's scheme, he is so ambitious, and has always been trying to take this old servant's life. Your Majesty, don't fall into his trap!"

Jiang Fu heaved a long sigh and said painfully, "You said that I wanted to harm you, but what about those two? Could it be that they also want your life like me?"

"You must have bribed them to help you lie. It was my mistake. I took you as my disciple and brought an endless disaster to this day!" As he said that, he bent his head towards Dongfang Zexuan and said sorrowfully: "This old servant is not acquainted with Wang Hu, I have no reason to take his life!"

Dongfang Cong stared at the white top of his head and said word by word, "Why did you kill him? You … understood it in your heart!" Pausing, he continued, "Huaien, if you ask for it from the bottom of your heart, I can still spare your life. If you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"

From the moment his relationship with Dongfang Wenyi, Huaien was already a dead man in his eyes. To him, staying alive was just a way to coax Huaien to confess.
