Chapter 1040 Conspiracy


"Go all out to protect the king and the royal family!" Lin Feng replied, secretly feeling lucky for his calmness.

After a series of reviews, the three finally passed the test. Although they were still nervous, they were relieved. Just as they were about to leave the review hall, the door in front of them was suddenly pushed open, and a slender, imposing man walked in with sharp eyes that seemed to be full of hostility towards them.

"Is this your friend?" The man glanced at Lin Feng and the others coldly, with a look of disdain in his eyes, obviously not liking their existence.

"This is my friend, the second prince." Xiaoyue whispered from the side, with a trace of uneasiness in her eyes.

“Second Prince?” Lin Feng was shocked and thought to himself: “It seems that this family is really complicated.”

"You three outsiders dare to wander around the palace. You are really overestimating your capabilities." The second prince's lips curled up into a sneer, as if he was full of doubts about their identities.

“We are Xiaoyue’s friends!” Ning Shishi defended quickly, thinking to herself: “This second prince seems difficult to deal with.”

“Friends? Why do you prove yourself? "The second prince's voice was full of sarcasm, as if he was full of disdain for their identities.

“We just passed the review!” Lin Feng was not to be outdone and looked firmly at the second prince.

"Humph, what's the point of censorship? In my eyes, you are just outsiders." The second prince smiled coldly, turned to Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, it's better not to associate with these outsiders. .”

"Second Prince, how can you say that?" Xiaoyue retorted angrily, with dissatisfaction shining in her eyes.

"What I said is the truth." The second prince responded coldly, then turned and left, leaving the three of them looking at each other.

"He is such an arrogant person." Lu Feirong said softly, thinking to herself: "It seems that it is not easy to survive in the palace."

"Don't worry, although the second prince is arrogant , but he is not a bad person." Xiaoyue comforted, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "I will help you."

"Thank you, Xiaoyue," Lin Feng said gratefully, thinking to himself. With Xiaoyue’s help, we may be able to gain a foothold in the palace.”

With Xiaoyue's guidance, Lin Feng and the others gradually adapted to life in the palace. Although they faced the indifference of the second prince, they also got to know other members of the palace, especially the guards around the second prince, and gradually established a relationship with them. Friendly relations.

However, the hostility of the second prince always followed. Lin Feng was secretly vigilant and decided to be more careful in dealing with this complex palace environment.

After all, their goal is to survive in this place full of intrigue and power struggles, and Xiaoyue is undoubtedly their most important ally.

As night falls, the moonlight shines on the ground through the tall palace windows, and the silver radiance makes the entire palace look more mysterious and solemn. Lin Feng, Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong, accompanied by Xiaoyue, gradually adapted to the life here, but they were always uneasy about the hostility of the second prince.

"You must be careful tonight and be sure to lock the door." Xiaoyue warned before leaving, with concern in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyue, we will pay attention." Lin Feng smiled slightly and tried to comfort her, but he was secretly wary in his heart.

In the dead of night, Lin Feng was lying on the bed, thinking about everything that happened during the day. The second prince's cynicism was still echoing in his ears, and he knew that this prince would not let them off easily. While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a slight sound, as if someone was approaching.

"Who?" Lin Feng's heart tightened, he sat up suddenly and looked around. At this moment, a dark shadow rushed into the room and quickly approached Ning Shishi's bedside.

"Wake up!" Lin Feng shouted, instantly jumped up from the bed and rushed toward the black shadow. His heart was beating like thunder, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, knowing that this was definitely an attack from an assassin.

The dagger in the assassin's hand flashed with cold light, and he was about to stab Ning Shishi. At the critical moment, Lin Feng grabbed the assassin's wrist, forcibly twisted the dagger and stabbed it into the wall.

"Ah!" Ning Shishi woke up and stepped back in horror when she saw the situation in front of her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Lin Feng said firmly, but secretly anxious in his heart. He knew that if this assassin was not dealt with as soon as possible, everyone would be in danger.

Seeing this, the assassin quickly broke away from Lin Feng's control, turned around and tried to escape. Not to be outdone, Lin Feng followed closely, thinking that he would catch him and never let him escape from the palace.

"Quick, call someone!" Lu Feirong also woke up from her dream and quickly ran to the door, trying to call the guards.

However, the assassin was extremely agile, and Lin Feng chased after him, passing through room after room until he reached the backyard of the palace. Just when he was about to pounce on the assassin again, the assassin suddenly stopped and turned to face Lin Feng, with a sneer on his lips.

"You think you can catch me?" the assassin said coldly, then took out a small bottle from his arms and quickly sprinkled the liquid on himself.

“What do you want to do!” Lin Feng was shocked and realized that the assassin was planning to commit suicide.

"Haha, after all, you outsiders cannot interfere in the power struggle in the palace." A crazy smile appeared on the corner of the assassin's mouth, and then he closed his eyes, and his body slowly fell down, turning into a pool of blood.

Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart. This assassin was obviously ordered by the second prince to create chaos among them. But he was secretly glad in his heart. If he hadn't woken up in time, Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong would have been poisoned long ago.

"Lin Feng, are you okay?" Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong also chased after them, and they were relieved to see that Lin Feng was safe and sound.

"I'm fine, you should be careful." Lin Feng took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and said to himself: "It seems that the second prince's hostility has not weakened, but has become more obvious."

Right here At that moment, several guards hurried over. When they saw the assassin on the ground, they immediately became alert and surrounded him one after another.

"What's going on?" A guard asked immediately upon seeing this.

"We were attacked by an assassin, and he has committed suicide." Lin Feng answered, but he was thinking about how to handle this matter properly.

"Quickly, inform the king!" The guards immediately began to take action, while Lin Feng secretly decided that he must explain all this to Xiaoyue and the king, and the second prince could not be allowed to continue to act recklessly.

Soon after, the king, accompanied by his guards, arrived at the scene and looked shocked when he saw the assassin's body.

"Xiaoyue, how could you be involved in such an incident?" The king turned to Xiaoyue with concern in his tone.

"Father, I are friends with them, and I will protect them!" Xiaoyue said firmly, with an unyielding light shining in her eyes.

When Lin Feng saw this, he was moved in his heart and said to himself: "Xiaoyue is indeed a trustworthy friend."

"The identity of the assassin has not yet been found out. It seems that the matter is not simple. The king pondered for a moment, then turned to Lin Feng and the others, "You must be careful. I will investigate the second prince's motives." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Feng felt grateful and secretly determined that he would never let the second prince continue to manipulate in the dark. everything.

With the passage of time, Lin Feng gradually learned that the power struggle in the palace was becoming more and more complicated. The second prince was not only hostile to Xiaoyue, but also coveted the inheritance of the entire royal family. He is determined to help Xiaoyue fight for the throne and break the second prince's conspiracy.

"We can't stay here any longer, we must take action." Lin Feng said to Xiaoyue and others, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

"What is your plan?" Xiaoyue asked seriously, fighting spirit ignited in her heart.

“We need to win over more supporters and strive to establish our own power in the palace.” Lin Feng analyzed, “At the same time, we also need to secretly investigate the movements of the second prince and look for some evidence about him. ”

"Sounds very risky." Ning Shishi said worriedly.

"But this is the only chance." Lin Feng said firmly, "We cannot let the second prince continue to control the situation."

"I will fully support you." Xiaoyue nodded, with a look in her eyes. Shining with determination.

"Okay, then we will split up." Lin Feng made up his mind and decided to find their way out in this whirlpool of power.

In the following days, Lin Feng, Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong began to carry out secret operations in the palace. They gradually came into contact with some guards and officials who were loyal to Xiaoyue and attracted them to become their supporters. At the same time, they also carefully observed the movements of the second prince, trying to find evidence of his conspiracy.

By chance, Lin Feng learned about the secret deal between the second prince and the Demon Sect, and thought to himself: "This will be an excellent opportunity. If this news can be made public, it will definitely weaken the power of the second prince."

“We must act as soon as possible!” Lin Feng said to Xiaoyue and others, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

After careful planning, Lin Feng decided to expose the second prince's conspiracy at a palace banquet. They carefully collected evidence and arranged all the details.

The banquet arrived as scheduled. In the gorgeous palace, the nobles gathered together and the atmosphere was warm. Lin Feng and Xiaoyue stood aside, but there was an undercurrent in their hearts.

"Are we ready?" Xiaoyue asked in a low voice, with a nervous look in her eyes.

"Ready." Lin Feng nodded, thinking to himself: "This is our chance to make a comeback."

When the banquet reached its climax, Lin Feng stood up and attracted everyone's attention. He cleared his throat, his voice loud and clear: "Everyone, I have important news to announce!"

Everyone turned their heads, showing curiosity and doubt.

"I will reveal the secret deal between the second prince and the Demon Sect!" Lin Feng's voice was like thunder, causing a commotion in an instant.

“What are you talking about?” The second prince looked angry and stared at Lin Feng coldly.

"I have evidence!" Lin Feng did not flinch, holding a document tightly in his hand, and thought to himself: "This time, I must not flinch."

The banquet hall fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on it. Focusing on Lin Feng, looking forward to his next words.

"Second Prince, I have already mastered the transaction between you and the Demon Sect!" Lin Feng's voice echoed in the hall, firm and powerful.

“Presumptuous!” the second prince roared, but Lin Feng was no longer afraid.

"I have evidence that you colluded with the Demon Sect and intended to overthrow the royal family!" Lin Feng raised the document high and looked directly at the second prince with his eyes like a torch.

The crowd began to whisper, obviously shocked and disturbed by Lin Feng's words.

"You are framing me!" The second prince looked gloomy, trying to suppress the panic in his heart.

"I did not make false accusations. Every word I said is true!" Lin Feng responded firmly, thinking to himself: "This time, I must let the truth come out."

At this moment, the king was also alerted and slowly walked forward, his eyes like a torch scanning the people in the banquet hall.

"Is what Lin Feng said true?" The king's voice was calm and majestic, making the whole place quiet.

"Your Majesty, this is definitely a rumor!" The second prince tried to defend himself, but the king's eyes became more severe.

"I will investigate this matter, and if there is evidence, I will be severely punished." The king's voice was full of determination, which shocked everyone.

"I will present the evidence and implore Your Majesty to find out the truth!" Lin Feng did not flinch, thinking in his heart: "This is my first step to fight for the throne for Xiaoyue."

The atmosphere in the banquet hall became increasingly tense, and Lin Feng knew that every next step was crucial. He secretly vowed to help Xiaoyue realize her dream and regain her rights.

A few days after the banquet, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense. The king conducted a secret investigation and gradually discovered the secret transaction between the second prince and the Demon Sect. The shock and anger in his heart were beyond words. As the king of a country, he understood that the second prince's behavior was not only a challenge to his authority, but also a threat to the entire dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the results of the investigation are out. The second prince did have close contact with the Demon Sect." A loyal guard reported in a low voice in front of the king with a solemn expression.

The king looked gloomy and was troubled in his heart. He felt sorry for his son, and although the second prince's behavior was unforgivable, he was still unwilling to execute him. After some thought, the king decided to give the second prince a stern lesson to warn him not to do it again.

"Pass the order, the second prince is temporarily confined in the palace and under strict supervision until I deal with it further." The king ordered, with helplessness and determination in his voice.

However, the second prince did not restrain himself. Instead, during the period of confinement, he secretly deepened his ties with the forces of the Demon Sect and plotted a bigger conspiracy. He thought to himself: "As long as I have enough power, I can stand up in front of my father and seize the throne!"

At this moment, Lin Feng, Ning Shishi and Lu Feirong were also secretly working hard action. They realized that the second prince's conspiracy was not over, but intensified. Lin Feng thought to himself: "We must find evidence as soon as possible to stop all the plans of the second prince."

"We can't wait any longer, we must act!" Lin Feng said to Xiaoyue and others, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

“Where should we look for evidence?” Lu Feirong asked, looking nervous. (End of this chapter)
