I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 233 The Inescapable Fate

The king was very panicked when he returned. He immediately ordered people to check all the wine in the palace. There was going to be a grand festival banquet tonight, and there couldn't be any problems with the wine!

Thinking of what the Son of God said, that he would be poisoned by wine, the king was so frightened that he even lost his appetite for the wine handed to him by his servant.

Wouldn't it be better if he just didn't drink at night?! The king praised his decision! Just in case, he always let his servants take a sip before drinking, and then he would drink after he was satisfied.

Soon night fell and the empire's grandest festival arrived. The king entered the venue in a grand manner and poured wine into his golden goblet. Seeing that the servant had drunk it without any problem, he finished his opening remarks and drank the wine in the goblet!

The banquet officially began and everyone was singing and dancing in a lively atmosphere. The king looked at the scene in front of him with a smile. Suddenly, he felt a severe pain in his stomach and looked at the liquid in the wine glass in shock.

I clearly replaced the wine with juice, so how could this happen... Is it the wine glass?! The king, clutching his throat, was now speechless. When he opened his mouth, black blood gushed out continuously, and the man fell to the ground, spitting out blood!

"Ahhhh!"

The servants' screams interrupted the lively banquet, and the people who were originally laughing and talking looked at the fallen king with horror!

Chang Ningchen learned from Dongfang He the next day that the king was dead. He had told Dongfang He about the king's death the night before, and Dongfang He had been paying attention to news about the king.

When Dongfang He saw the king looking in pain after drinking, he rushed over immediately. He observed carefully and found that the king did die of poisoning, with black lips and black blood in his mouth.

He also noticed that the king was holding the wine glass tightly, and he used a cloth to smell the liquid on the ground. It did not smell like alcohol but sweet, like juice.

Dongfang He speculated, "The king was very concerned after hearing your prediction. He knew he would be poisoned by the wine, so he replaced the wine with juice. But he didn't expect that the poison was actually in his cup, so he would die no matter what he drank last night."

Chang Ningchen was very frightened after hearing this. It seemed that it was useless to tell the person involved the cause of his death. Although the future he saw was accurate, the factors that led to his death were uncertain. Even if he told the king, he still could not avoid his own death.

Dongfang He comforted him, "Maybe the person who poisoned the wine was a meticulous person. He found out that the king was investigating the wine, so he replaced the poisoned wine and put the poison in the cup. Even if the king replaced the cup, maybe he could use something else to poison it. Or maybe if he didn't get the chance this time, he would put the poison in the next time. There are too many uncertainties."

Chang Ningchen listened to Dongfang He's analysis and nodded. There were indeed too many uncertainties.

The Pope was also present when Chang Ningchen made the prediction. When he learned that the king was really poisoned to death by drinking poisoned wine, he was shocked. A Son of God with the ability to predict is more useful than a Son of God who is just a vase!

The Pope found Chang Ningchen and told him about the king being poisoned. Chang Ningchen had already heard Dongfang He tell him about it, so his expression was very calm. He said to the Pope: "This is a sign given to me by the God of Light. It's a pity that the will of the God cannot be disobeyed."

If the Holy Son could not leave the church, he would have thought that the poison was sent by Chang Ningchen, but they had no evidence, and killing the king would not benefit the Holy Son in any way.

The Pope asked, "Your Highness, has the God of Light foretold anything else for you?"

Chang Ningchen shook his head and said, "I can't control the time for this matter. Maybe it depends on the person!"

He didn't dare tell him the thing that could be predicted every three days. It would be bad if this guy figured it out and wanted to do something bad!

The Pope looked at Chang Ningchen with some disappointment, and then asked in a low voice: "Can Your Highness the Holy Son see my future?"

Chang Ningchen shook his head and said, "The God of Light doesn't want me to see your Majesty's future yet."

The Pope nodded with a feeling of disappointment and satisfaction, then left.

Dongfang He did not come to see Chang Ningchen that night, but Lilia hurried over to tell him that the church had arrested Dongfang He on charges of killing the king!

"what?!"

Chang Ningchen looked at Lilia in shock. He didn't understand why the church did this?

Lilia asked, "You predicted to your father that he would be poisoned, right?"

Chang Ningchen nodded: "The God of Light told me when we met the day before yesterday."

Lilia said, "That old fox, the Pope, is definitely trying to fabricate this incident and frame you as the mastermind, then use the Paladin as a scapegoat and eliminate the only useful person around you."

Chang Ningchen felt that this matter was a bit confusing. He was already in the hands of the Pope. What else did he want him to do? He asked in confusion: "Am I not already in his hands?!"

Lilia said, "But if you don't listen to him, with this incident as evidence, the church will protect you. You must obey the church, otherwise they will hand you over to the royal family to be beheaded!"

Chang Ningchen said angrily: "This guy is so hateful!"

Lilia said, "The most I can do is help rescue the Holy Knight. There are too many guards on His Highness' side, and the two of us can't get out."

Chang Ningchen knew that he couldn't save anyone if he went out now, so he could only put his hope on Lilia. He said, "If Her Highness Lilia can rescue He, I am willing to help the princess!"

Lilia held out her hand to Chang Ningchen and asked him to swear. Chang Ningchen swore very carefully. Lilia smiled and took out a button from Dongfang He's clothes from her arms, and then said, "I have rescued the person. Your Highness, please keep your word!"

Chang Ningchen looked at the button in his hand and felt that the Pope was an old fox, and Lilia was a little fox. They both liked to play him around.

In the evening, the Pope found Chang Ningchen and told him that the person who poisoned the king had been caught. Chang Ningchen asked with an expression as if he was listening to gossip, "Who was it?"

The Pope said with a look of regret, "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness is the Paladin He. He took action because he resented the King for interfering with his love for Princess Lilia."

Chang Ningchen immediately pretended to be shocked and said, "How is that possible? A Paladin would never do that!"

The Pope looked as if he didn't know anything. He replied, "Your Highness the Holy Son doesn't know, but the entire imperial capital knows about the Paladin and Princess Lilia. They're a perfect match, but unfortunately the Paladin's background is not good, so His Majesty the King doesn't like him..."

Chang Ningchen looked very sad. He said, "He is my only friend. How can I save him?"

The Pope said: "The Church will definitely save him, as long as His Holiness the Son of God follows the Church's arrangements..."

Are you all using the same trick to control me?! Chang Ningchen looked scared, helpless, and sad, but inwardly he was giving me a middle finger! I really hate this trick of getting something for nothing!
