Chapter 589 - You’re On Your Own (1/2)

After being driven out of the main hall by the king, the pitiful third prince who got shot while lying down felt the cold wind whip past him, making his body s.h.i.+ver.

The crown prince also followed him out, and he glanced at him with a sigh. “Third Royal Brother, I believe you, but Royal Father won’t listen to my words and a.s.serts that Third Royal Brother is the culprit because of that jade pendant.”

“Sixth Brother!” The third prince abruptly turned his head, wis.h.i.+ng for nothing more than to grab the crown prince’s hand and spill out all his grievances.

However, it couldn’t be helped that the crown prince clenched his fist and raised it to his mouth, faking a cough, which allowed him to evade the third prince’s enthusiastic paws.

“Sixth Brother, you really have to believe me! I can swear an oath of poison to the heavens!” Mo Teng extended two fingers to make a vow.

“Alright, alright, Third Royal Brother, I believe you, of course.” The crown prince hastily interrupted his series of vows, and he grumbled in annoyance on the inside. Couldn’t he let Us finish speaking first?

This moron! He was so dumb that he didn’t even know how to refute this accusation and could only make vows. But what was the use in that? No wonder he was the one being framed.

n.o.ble Consort Lin wiped her tears and implored, “Please, will Your Highness the Crown Prince render fair judgment. Teng’er is sincere in his heart towards Your Highness and absolutely wouldn’t do such a treasonous and outrageous act.”

“Speaking of which, Third Royal Brother is also too careless. How did such a personal jade pendant fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives?” Mo Lian cast a glance at Mo Teng and sighed. “Actually, We originally had a target of extreme suspicion in mind. And We could’ve even mentioned it to Royal Father, but then this matter with Third Royal Brother came about…”

Mo Teng’s ears wiggled and he quickly lowered his voice, inquiring, “Sixth Brother, who are you suspecting? Tell Older Brother in secret so that Older Brother can also know what to expect. You also know that Older Brother is not very astute and is easily muddle-headed.”

Ha ha, why don’t you just say that you are dumb. The crown prince ridiculed in his mind.

However, he kept up a beaming appearance on the outside. Following which, the crown prince lowered his voice, and the two brothers huddled together as he whispered, “Third Royal Brother, actually, I feel that Second Royal Brother is incomparably suspicious. I also have some clues in hand that point to him. But who knew that Third Royal Brother’s jade pendant would actually show up at the scene of a.s.sa.s.sination? This, I… I can’t help defend you much on Royal Father’s end either.”
