Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 190

190 THE LOVER WHO STEPPED FORWARD

It felt like deja vu when Bai Guowei suddenly asked in a tone full of sarcasm, and the question was directed at Bai Chen.

Before he left the hall earlier, Bai Renshu had also said that he would be happy if Shao Meihui died because he did not love the girl from the Black Werewolf Clan, and it seemed that the white-haired Crown Prince was indirectly accusing him of being involved in the tragedy that occurred in the Forbidden Forest.

It felt like deja vu, but Bai Renshu accused him when there were only the two of them in the hall, and the situation was different from when Bai Guowei did the same to him just now.

So many palace guards gathered in front of the hall, and probably all the officials in the palace also joined them. Even if they didn’t dare to voice their opinion on this matter, they must have heard how Bai Guowei accused his youngest son, and they had shocked expressions on their faces after hearing the accusations.

Of course, only Bai Guowei and Wu Shun witnessed how Bai Chen and Bai Renshu stayed in the hall after the meeting ended earlier today, and only the two of them would have the idea of ??finding the connection between Bai Renshu’s death and their previous conversation.

“I did not provoke the Crown Prince,” Bai Chen firmly denied the accusations. “I didn’t even speak too much with him before I finally decided to leave the hall, and I thought he would also be returning to his palace soon. You can’t accuse me of provoking the Crown Prince just because I’m the last one to speak with him here, Your Majesty.”

Even if Bai Chen felt bad about Bai Renshu’s sudden death, he didn’t like it when the Emperor blindly accused him just because he was the last person to speak to the white-haired Crown Prince in the great hall.

‘Too bad this world only uses the so-called surveillance devices in the Forbidden Forest during the Beast Hunting Event. They should have put one up in this hall as well to help me prove my innocence,’ Bai Chen lamented inwardly as he realized that it would indeed be difficult for him to prove that he didn’t even say much when he was talking to Bai Renshu earlier.

“If you didn’t provoke him, then why did Bai Renshu suddenly commit suicide?” Bai Guowei asked another question, and it was clear that the man was becoming more emotional at this time. “Bai Renshu witnessed how his mother committed suicide when he was only five years old, and I always told him that suicide would not solve his problems so that he would not imitate his mother’s actions in the future. He wouldn’t do something like this without anyone provoking him!”

.....

Bai Chen guessed correctly that Bai Guowei did look devastated as he immediately recalled the memory of his wife’s death upon seeing Bai Renshu’s corpse.

After all, Bai Guowei loved his wife with all his heart, and he also greatly valued Bai Renshu because that young man was the descendant of the woman he loved the most.

Seeing how the two of them met their end by suicide must have broken his heart, and that was why Bai Guowei looked like he was losing his mind right now.

Bai Chen could hear how Bai Guowei mentioned the previous accident, and he also still remembered that the accident was related to Bai Chen’s birth mother, Tang Yanmei, so he couldn’t directly rebuke the accusation even though he was indeed innocent in this case.

The Werewolf Prince remained silent as Bai Guowei continued to glare at him, but someone suddenly pushed his body aside before that person stood right in front of him, automatically shielding him from Bai Guowei’s piercing gaze.

Bai Chen’s blue eyes immediately made contact with the wide back covered in red, and he immediately recognized the person who had just stepped forward to protect him from the furious Emperor.

“If Prince Bai Chen said that he didn’t say anything to provoke Crown Prince Bai Renshu, then that is the truth, so you’d better stop accusing him, Your Majesty.”

Bai Chen was dumbfounded when he heard how Zhu Ge dared to command the Emperor of Dong Lang. Yes, it was Zhu Ge who dared to step forward and give him a sense of security when Bai Guowei continued to accuse him.

Bai Chen did feel safe because he knew that Zhu Ge was willing to protect him, but more than that, he was shocked by what the man had just said to the Emperor of Dong Lang.

Even Emperor Bai Guowei and Emperor Wu Shun also looked surprised, and when Bai Chen turned his gaze to the people gathered in front of the Zuigao Hall, he could see how those people also looked in disbelief after hearing Zhu Ge’s statement.

“Who are you, and how dare you say such a thing to me?” Bai Guowei responded to Zhu Ge’s statement, and from the tone alone, it was clear that the white-haired Emperor was offended by Zhu Ge’s words.

Bai Renshu had met Zhu Ge once when they were in Bai Chen’s palace, but it was indeed the first time Bai Guowei had met Zhu Ge in person. So, apart from feeling offended by the man wearing red clothes, there was also a hint of curiosity in Bai Guowei’s eyes, and it was apparent that the Emperor wanted to know the identity of the man who dared to raise his chin in front of him.

Bai Chen really wanted to pull on the red sleeve of Zhu Ge’s robe so that the man would return to his original position behind him, but before he could do that, he could hear how Zhu Ge opened his mouth to answer Bai Guowei’s question, “I’m Bai Chen’s lover, and if you continue to accuse Bai Chen of something he never did, I will not hesitate to create chaos in this empire, Your Majesty.”
