As Xue Xing's words fell, several guards dragged a black-clothed man covered in blood into the hall.
"This is the murderer I caught. He has already confessed that the Second Prince, Third Prince, and even His Majesty were all poisoned by the current Crown Prince under his orders many years ago."
Upon hearing this, a clamorous discussion arose within the hall. Some were deliberately stirring up trouble, saying Xue Qinghe had the heart of a wolf; some were unaware of the truth and secretly suspicious; and some supported the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne and were filled with anxiety.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Xue Xing looked intently at Xue Qinghe in the center of the hall, a strange smile on his face.
The Little Angel indifferently glanced around at the guests in the hall and said loudly:
"This is just Prince Xue Xing's one-sided statement. If this Prince casually finds a confidant to impersonate the murderer, can I also slander the Imperial Father as being harmed by the Imperial Uncle?"
"That's right, this is just Prince Xue Xing's one-sided statement and cannot be taken seriously."
"That's right, I think this Xue Xing has the heart of a wolf and wants to seize the Crown Prince's rightful position."
The Crown Prince's supporters immediately responded, beginning to denounce Xue Xing, while those of Xue Xing's lineage began to refute the Crown Prince Party.
"Imperial Uncle, you see, it's better to hand this murderer over to the Imperial Clan for interrogation to get the results, so as to clear both you and me. Perhaps this is a conspiracy of the Star Luo Empire?"
The Little Angel gave the Imperial Clan a look, and the old man instantly understood, waving his hand to call a group of guards to drag the murderer away.
However, just as the guards approached, the already dying murderer swallowed his last breath and died on the spot.
The Imperial Clan was stunned for a moment, unsure of what to do next.
"This..."
"Hmph, there's no need for such trouble. We also found a Prince Token on the thug. Presumably, the Crown Prince is no stranger to it, right?"
Xue Xing didn't care about the dead villain, obviously expecting this scene. This person was deliberately arranged by him to frame Xue Qinghe. Then, he took out a Prince Token from his arms, raised his hand, and presented it to everyone. The words 'Qinghe' came into view.
Now, even those neutral people began to change their gazes towards Xue Qinghe.
"Imperial Uncle, I reported to the Imperial Father that this token was lost more than ten years ago. I didn't expect it to be taken by you. It must have taken a lot of effort for this scene today, right?"
"Hmph, that's what you call a one-sided statement. With human and material evidence before us, you want to frame this Prince with just your mouth? There's no such reason!"
Xue Xing angrily blew his beard and then looked at the Imperial Clan to the side.
"Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, Xue Qinghe is not suitable to inherit the throne today. Before the matter is clarified, I ask the Crown Prince to stay in the Imperial Palace and not go anywhere."
"Three generals, take down this biggest suspect in the assassination of His Majesty first."
"Yes."
The three Soul Douluo directly released their Spirits, and the Imperial Clan, who was shaken to the side, was dumbfounded, not understanding how things had suddenly developed to this point.
The Little Angel had long anticipated Xue Xing's desire to quickly cut through the mess and place him under house arrest, but of course, his plan would not be fulfilled.
Just as the three Soul Douluo wanted to attack the Little Angel, a Seven Kill Sword stood in the center of the four, also shaking the three Douluo generals back.
"Your Excellency, please do not interfere in the affairs of the Imperial Family. This is a matter within the Xue family."
The thing that Xue Xing was most worried about still happened. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect chose to stand behind Xue Qinghe, and Yu Yuanzhen didn't know what benefits he had received from Xue Xing, so he hurriedly stood in front of Xue Xing.
Chen Xin did not reply, but looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him.
As the two sides confronted each other, Ning Bei whispered something to A Zhu beside him, and she immediately disappeared from the spot.
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward past Chen Xin, cupped his fist towards Xue Xing, and said:
"Just based on a few words, you want to attack a nation's crown prince? Is Prince Xue Xing being a bit too tyrannical?"
"Humph, the evidence is conclusive. Detaining him to await trial is already giving this Crown Prince enough face. Sect Leader Ning, are you perhaps trying to protect a regicidal criminal?"
His sharp tongue made Ning Fengzhi frown. Just as he was about to say something, Ning Bei, seeing A Zhu's return, immediately spoke up, drawing everyone's attention.
"What Prince Xue Xing said is a bit one-sided, isn't it? Since when did the Heaven Dou Empire start deciding life and death with a token?"
"Humph, who are you? How is it your place, a mere child, to interrupt matters of the Imperial Clan?"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I ask the Prince to clarify, can a token really decide the Crown Prince's life or death?"
"The token is just an item to prove the Crown Prince's crime. What does it have to do with deciding life or death?"
A strange smile appeared on Ning Bei's face. Under everyone's gaze, he slowly walked to the side of the deceased criminal, squatted down, and after fumbling around, took out a token from his chest. The words engraved on the token made the Little Angel's eyes light up, and she gave her man a thumbs up in her heart.
Ning Bei slowly raised his hand, and the character 'Xing' on the token clearly appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Prince Xue Xing, do you have anything else to say?"
Xue Xing's face suddenly changed when he saw the token. His hands subconsciously reached towards his chest, but his own token was no longer there. He then pointed at Ning Bei in front of him with a face full of anger.
"You little brat framed me?"
"Oh? When Prince Xue Xing finds the token, it's complete evidence, but when I find the token, it's planting evidence? What great logic!"
Ning Bei's face was full of mockery, and he looked at Xue Xing as if he were a dead man.
"You, you..."
Xue Xing pointed at Ning Bei, not knowing what to say. Knowing that the situation was beyond saving, he planned to leave and plot later.
Just as Yu Yuanzhen was protecting Xue Xing and his party as they walked towards the outside of the hall, Ning Bei called out to them.
"Hold on, you think you can just leave after your scheme is exposed? What do you think this place is?"
Xue Xing and Yu Yuanzhen turned around and looked at Ning Bei with unkind eyes.
"What else do you want, kid? I am a Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Ning Bei raised an eyebrow, and while walking towards them, he said with disdain:
"First, a Prince framing the current Heaven Dou Emperor cannot be treated as if nothing happened."
"Second, you are not qualified to call me 'kid'."
Arriving in front of them, Ning Bei's nine Spirit Rings also rose one by one, appearing before everyone's eyes. The ministers and guests in the hall all showed a ghostly expression, and then gasped.
Xue Xing and Xue Beng in front of him were trembling like chaff, looking at Ning Bei with uncertain and horrified expressions.
Yu Yuanzhen on the side also began to regret it in his heart, exclaiming that he shouldn't have gotten involved in this muddy water. It was just that the benefits promised by Xue Xing were too generous for him to refuse.
After the matter was completed, Xue Xing promised to let Yu Yuanzhen go to the Heaven Dou Treasury to choose three Soul Bones at will. How could he, as the Sect Leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, refuse?
Now, not only could the matter not be completed, but he had also offended a terrifying existence because of this, which was simply losing both the lady and the army.
Having thought everything through, Yu Yuanzhen immediately made a wise decision.
"Your Excellency, I am Yu Yuanzhen. I was deceived by Xue Xing and participated in this plot to frame the Crown Prince. I hope you will let me leave."
