After hearing what he said, Mo Lingxiao calmly raised his head and stared at a painting. In the painting, there was a man confronting the Tyrannosaurus with a knife.
After a while, he said nonchalantly: "The thing was not done, but in the end we only suspected Huo Dao?"
Zhang Li said eagerly: "Your Highness, what I said is true. That figure is very similar to Huo Dao. Even his Qinggong is just as powerful."
Mo Lingxiao's eyes sank slightly, but there was still no wave in those dark eyes.
He said slowly: "Do you need to doubt what Your Highness has known for a long time? I am keeping you here to let you do things for me."
Zhang Li was startled, raised his head and his eyes were dull.
It seems that he does not understand what His Highness the Crown Prince means.
After a moment, Mo Lingxiao turned his back to him and said in a low voice: "Forget it, my highness will handle this little matter personally."
Zhang Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Lingxiao said again: "Go and call Huo Dao."
Zhang Li stood up: "Yes..."
After a while, Zhang Li opened the door and entered the study, followed closely by Huo Dao.
Huo Dao stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness."
Mo Lingxiao turned around and stared at him, his eyes slightly deepening: "Where did you go tonight?"
Huo Dao looked calm and calm: "Back to Your Highness, I have been sleeping in the side hall."
Zhang Li's eyes flashed slightly. When he entered, he pulled back the quilt and saw that Huo Dao was sleeping on the bed. He even searched in his room for a long time and couldn't find anything suspicious, but he always felt that it was unlikely... ...
Huo Dao must be lying!
So, he looked at Huo Dao and said eagerly: "Impossible, you must have been to the palace. The assassin who deliberately disturbed my actions is you. Although I can't see your face clearly, I can recognize your figure. !”
Huo Dao always lowered his head: "Your Highness, I don't know what he is talking about."
Zhang Li looked ferocious: "You..."
Mo Lingxiao gave him a cold look, and Zhang Li immediately fell silent.
Then, his eyes lingered on Huo Dao, and his eyes darkened: "Huo Dao, you said you were not present, do you have any evidence to prove yourself?"
Huo Dao shook his head: "Your Highness, no."
Immediately afterwards, Huo Dao suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve. He held it up with both hands and handed it to the prince: "If the prince doesn't believe it, you can kill me at any time."
Hearing this, Zhang Li's pupils suddenly shrank. He couldn't believe that Huo Dao would do this.
Cruel person, Huo Dao is really a cruel person!
However, what surprised him even more.
Mo Lingxiao looked at him and suddenly said: "Tonight you failed in your action and exposed yourself, allowing people in the palace to see your face."
"Your Highness, I..." Zhang Li tried to explain.
Mo Lingxiao continued: "Zhang Li, you are not doing well, and there is no need for my Highness to keep you."
"Go to hell."
Zhang Li was frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
However, he didn't have time to say a word.
Suddenly there was a "swish" sound, and a sharp arrow was shot through the window, directly piercing Zhang Li's body.
The next second, Zhang Li's eyes widened in shock, and a stream of blood overflowed from his mouth. With a loud pop, Zhang Li instantly fell to the ground.
Blood stained the floor.
Huo Dao's pupils shrank slightly.
However, there was no expression on Mo Lingxiao's face, and he ordered people to drag Zhang Li out.
Then, he spoke coldly.
"Huo Dao..."
Huo Dao's hands holding the dagger were still held firmly in the air. He always lowered his head and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I have no way to prove myself. I can only die to show my loyalty to His Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Dao's eyes flashed with determination.
He grasped the handle of the knife tightly, quickly turned the direction of the knife head, and brought it into his chest without hesitation, with a clean and neat movement.
He raised his head and looked at the prince, his eyes never wavering for a moment.
Mo Lingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him coldly.
He pushed a little harder.
Just when he was about to put the knife into his heart, Mo Lingxiao suddenly interrupted his movement. He flicked his sleeves and the dagger fell to the ground, making a crisp silver sound.
Mo Lingxiao still looked at him indifferently.
"You do have some backbone."
Huo Dao turned his head and looked at the dagger on the ground, lowered his head and said nothing.
"but......"
Mo Lingxiao continued: "Your Highness does not need you to die to prove your will. I will keep you for your use."
Huo Dao's eyes tightened: "What does Your Highness want me to do?"
Mo Lingxiao raised his chin slightly and said coldly: "You go and kill the people in the prison. If you can do it, my highness will consider sparing you."
Huo Dao raised his head and looked at him: "Yes."
Half a day later, Huo Dao came back and said that the matter had been completed.
The corners of Mo Lingxiao's mouth slowly raised. He said nothing, but said in a cold voice: "Prepare the sedan and go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion."
