The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 376 Side story (A Feng story)
Until midnight, the chase was still going on and it just got bigger. How not, shortly after learning of the news, Sima Feng immediately ordered most of his guards to search for the killer A Guang.
" Catch that guy! live or die you must get it! " The Sima Feng's Command. He was wrathful and blamed the care that was valued so weak.
With that, the silent night instantly turned bustling with the commotion.
A guard ran in a hurry. As soon as he arrived at Sima Feng's palace, one of his comrades commented.
" Did a ghost just chase you? why are you running so fast. "
" It's more creepy than ghosts. Where is His highness the prince. I have to report something. "
" He's in his study. Beware, after the news of the crown prince's killer's escape, his mood was as bad as if he could swallow anyone in front of him. "
The bodyguard who was about to meet Sima Feng gulped roughly. The risk of being a messenger is to be ready with the anger to be received.
The bodyguard arrived in front of A Feng's study room and in front stood Ling He.
" What's up? " Task Ling He in an ordinary tone but the bodyguard still felt the aura pressure from Sima Feng's personal bodyguard.
" I would like to report that the killer has been found, only that "the bodyguard seems doubtful.
" Say! " Sima Feng's jolt that turned out to be already standing in front of the bodyguard.
The bodyguard was shocked as if his spirit had jumped out. The sweat is pouring. The frightened man painstakingly said, "Report Your Majesty, the murderer was found lifeless. "
" How can it be? "
" When it was found, the third princess' bodyguard was stabbing her. "
' Jingu? ' Sima Feng thought.
How could he go after the killer?
*********
Jingu stepped towards Sima Feng's study, after a bodyguard came and told him while Sima Feng's other bodyguards were taking care of the killer's corpse.
" You call me His Highness the prince? "
Jingu spoke formally. Since he lived in the palace, he has changed his way of speaking according to the ethics of the palace.
Sima Feng did not want to go around in circles so he immediately asked a question that was the reason he called his sister's bodyguard.
" Why did you kill the escaped prisoner? "
There was no shock on Jingu's face, Sima Feng guessed that it seemed like Jingu already knew that he would ask about it.
" I'm sorry, Your Honor, I did it by accident. Initially, I would call for another bodyguard but at that time he attacked and then there was a fight. And in the end I accidentally killed him. Please punish me Your Majesty. " Jingu explained the situation back then.
Sima Feng was still unmoved and just stared at Jingu with all the thoughts in his head. I don't know, only he knows.
" That's it. You can come back. "
Jingu came out, without anyone noticing a single corner of his lips rising. Then turn around with a face that returns flat.
**********
A month passed quickly. A lot of things have happened. Sima Feng remained in the capital, leaving Gu Xinzu and Gu Feifei still confined in prison. Even from the latest news Sima Feng received, Gu Xinzu lost her sanity. He would often cry out for deliverance, and soon after, he would cry as if he regretted his treacherous decision.
" Sima Feng, let go of me! you promised you'd let me and my sister go! UNTIE ME! SIMA FENG ! ahaha.."
" Hiks.. hiks. If I hadn't made the wrong decision. Hiks... "
As for Gu Feifei, that beautiful woman was already completely insane. There was no longer a beautiful Gu Feifei with a charming appearance. Her hair is tangled and disheveled. He would laugh and talk to himself as if he was talking to Sima Feng.
Thanks to the medicine given to Gu Feifei coupled with the woman's obsession towards Sima Feng that pushed the woman completely to be what she was now.
Sima Feng still did not even understand, for what the man who became his former commander decided to betray. But he did not care, the most important thing is to arrest the former king of Wei, Li Chenlan. Sima Feng had already spread out his subordinates to look for him in the Nan Empire, as it was most likely that the man had sought refuge there.
In the court palace hall, the,
" His Majesty please immediately decide to appoint the second prince as crown prince. However, the position should not be left empty. "
Sima Rui demanded Sima Rui to appoint Sima Feng as crown prince.
The demands of his ministers made Sima Rui's face turn dark. A glint of anger was clearly visible in his eyes. Staring at each of his ministers who were prostrating with their faces down.
In a cold voice, Sima Rui said. " It's only been a month since the death of the late crown prince and you want me to appoint a new crown prince. Stop acting like you're thinking about the country. I know one by one your motives. So stop pretending. That's so gross. "
Sima Rui actually hit one by one his subordinates who had hidden intentions.
After saying, Sima Rui immediately left the palace court with a situation that had turned cold.
" How could the emperor say such a rude thing? should he not listen to our advice. "
" I agree with you too. Although the emperor mourned the death of the first prince, but the Empire's hierarchy had to keep going. However, the election of the crown prince is crucial to the continuity of government. "
" You're right, we'd better try to get back to the next meeting. "
It was only when the three officials were about to leave that Jiang Wu with his son spoke and it was a success that their steps came to a halt.
" I hope one of their sons will die so they will know how sad the current emperor feels. "
" You're right dad. Maybe that's the only way to keep them quiet. "
The faces of the three officials instantly turned green in anger.
" Prime Minister Jiang. Even though you're a level one official and we're only level four but there's no reason for you to curse us. Isn't that too cruel. "
Jiang Wu put on an innocent face as well as his son, Jiang Jingfu who put on a plate face.
Jiang Wu frowned and foolishly asked. " You talk to me? "
" Uncle? are you talking to us? " Jingfu also asked.
" you... " The official was close to nosebleeds because he was too angry with the response of the two humans surnamed Jiang.
The other two officials knew that it was a loss to be at odds with Jiang Wu. So they tried hard to persuade her friend to be patient and rushed to drag her away.
Without them noticing, Sima Feng heard all the chatter. He smiled meaningfully. Then turn around and leave.
Since leaving the court hall, Sima Rui had continued to confine herself in the study. If normally there was A Guang who would come and share the burden of thought with him. But now that figure has left. Everyone probably saw that he was cold-hearted, for he did not cry at all when one of his sons died. But no one knew that even though she did not cry, her heart was broken. As a father, the pain of losing a child is not much different from the feelings of a mother.
When he was busy staring. The eunuch chief came to report if the second prince asked to meet.
Sima Rui did not refuse, he asked Sima Feng to come in.
After giving his greetings, Sima Feng looked at his unusual-looking father.
" Dad, are you okay? " Tanya Sima Feng was worried still by the face of the plate.
" What's up? "
No different from the son, Sima Rui also put on a flat face. Two humans who are so similar.
" Dad, you look pale and your white hair seems to increase because of the burden of your own mind. Don't you want to share the burden with me. "
One corner of Sima Rui's lips rose. If it was someone else, it probably wouldn't know what Sima Feng meant, but not Sima Rui.
" Are you sure? " Tanya Sima Rui at noon.
Sima Feng nodded. " I think it's time. Otherwise, there will be more chaos in the court. "
So the next day, the court of the palace returned in title.
Like yesterday, the palace officials demanded Sima Rui to immediately appoint the crown prince. This time Sima Rui agreed and immediately made a decree appointing Sima Feng as crown prince and Liu Ru as crown princess.
News of the appointment was immediately announced. The officials who had intended to establish a relationship with Sima Feng had also prepared.
Unfortunately, during the appointment, Sima Feng made an announcement that he would not raise a concubine in the future.
It instantly made the spirit of the officials who previously had the intention of inserting their daughter into Sima Feng's harem have to bite a finger.
Ah the Sima family man is too loyal.
