`DiscordChannel.GetMessagesAsync` throws exception when encountering a reply to a deleted message

Created by: ikegami

DiscordChannel.GetMessagesAsync throws exception when it encounters a reply to a deleted message.

Code:

var msgs = await channel.GetMessagesAsync(100);

Channel's entire contents:

Channel with reply to a deleted a message, a reply to an existing message, and that message

Result:

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot access child value on Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JValue.
   at Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JToken.get_Item(Object key)
   at DSharpPlus.Net.DiscordApiClient.PrepareMessage(JToken msg_raw)
   at DSharpPlus.Net.DiscordApiClient.GetChannelMessagesAsync(UInt64 channel_id, Int32 limit, Nullable`1 before, Nullable`1 after, Nullable`1 around)
   at DSharpPlus.Entities.DiscordChannel.GetMessagesInternalAsync(Int32 limit, Nullable`1 before, Nullable`1 after, Nullable`1 around)
   at [above call]

The problem goes away if I delete the bottom message.
