Chapter 424: The Beginning of Chaos; Assassin Bai Xiaofei! (2/2)
However, the only reaction of ‘Bai Xiaofei’ was a smile. In a flash of light, his body completely disappeared from the room. At the same time, Bai Xiaofei stroked Huskie, who he had just summoned back, while a nervous crown prince gulped in anxiety.
“Brother Bai, my father, he…”
At the crown prince’s unsaid question, Bai Xiaofei helplessly shook his head.
“My condolences.”
Two simple words and the crown prince instantly fell backward in shock.
His Royal Consort by his side hurriedly supported him. Bai Xiaofei walked over to check the crown prince’s pulse, and also injected origin energy into his body.
The crown prince wasn’t faking it. The sudden shock and anger obstructed his blood flow…
When the crown prince regained consciousness, his face was full of grief. He sat on the steps quietly, his tears kept streaming down uncontrollably.
“Although it is not very good to say this, now is not the time for you to grieve. Since someone dared to kill the emperor, it means they have prepared all the follow-ups. If you don’t want the throne to fall into the hands of the killer, you should wake up,” Bai Xiaofei said lightly, but there was a hint of sympathy in his voice.
Everyone envied the royals, but was it really envy-worthy for such someone who didn’t even have time to grieve the loss of a loved one? Bai Xiaofei didn’t know about others, but he certainly did not envy this. Compared with so-called powerful statuses, he valued the people around him much more…
“Yes, Brother Bai, you are right, I need to wake up!” Gritting his teeth, the crown prince wiped his tears and stood up. A hint of calm had returned in his bloodshot eyes. “No matter what, I am the crown prince. I am the one who must step up and manage the court after my father. This is something that no one can criticize!”
When the crown prince got up, the happiest person was none other than the Royal Consort beside him. If he successfully inherited the throne, she would become a person who was under only him but above ten thousand…
“That’s right, you have to step up because I have a problem for you to deal with here.” Bai Xiaofei looked helpless with a pained smile on his face.
“What is it?” The crown prince looked nervously at Bai Xiaofei, and his voice was full of concern. It was okay for anyone else to be troubled, but not Bai Xiaofei! At the moment, Bai Xiaofei’s position in his heart was even above the Royal Consort behind him…
“Apparently I am the ‘assassin.’ If I’m not cleared before they spread the news around, then you really have to fight them on your own.”
The crown prince instantly understood.
“It’s nothing difficult. You have always been here with me, therefore you can’t have had any chance to assassinate,” declared the crown prince. This settled Bai Xiaofei’s unease.
It was fortunate that he had discovered it early, otherwise, even the crown prince wouldn’t be able to help him. This alibi for his absence from the crime scene was very crucial…
“Reporting!!!” A guard of the crown prince suddenly shouted outside right after the conversation between the two passed the important part.
Come, it was time for everyone to show their cards!
