Chapter 164: Scramble
Su Jinxiu and Cheng Ying's faces were unusually serious, and when they returned to their courtyard, they saw Cheng Ying slamming his hand into a fist and slamming the stone table in the courtyard.
Su Jinxiu said on the side: "Eighty percent of this matter may have been done by Prince Lian, so that the second lady could not tell us what happened to her in the past few days." ”
"But if that's the case, according to Prince Lian's character, she should directly kill the second lady."
"Tsk, I guess this Prince Lian just wants to use the second lady to mess up our position."
Although the second lady had a lot of difficulties with Su Jinxiu before, and Su Jinxiu often looked at the second lady unpleasantly, this does not mean that Su Jinxiu hates the second lady and wants her to be like this.
After the two returned to the room, they had no sleep all night, and the next day, after waiting for the court, Mu Chenfeng directly brought several of his advisers to the imperial study, Prince Lian wanted to go back to the house directly after the court, but just after walking a few steps, he saw Mu Chenfeng hurriedly going to the imperial study.
Seeing this, Prince Lian sent the secret guards around him to follow secretly, and in the imperial study, the emperor frowned and looked at his son and several courtiers kneeling below.
"What's the matter with the prince?"
"Returning to my father, and the son is here for General Pei's wife, General Pei is the minister of my court, after dedicating himself to the country, that villain took advantage of the father's heartache, secretly made and framed General Pei's wife, and finally accompanied the general's family to such a fate, so the son is very sad, so the minister hopes that the father can let the son retry General Pei's wife, and return the Pei family to an innocence!"
Mu Chenfeng's first step in restoring Cheng Ying's identity was to clear Cheng Ying's mother, General Pei's wife.
Otherwise, when Cheng Ying's identity is exposed in the future, even if it is maintained by General Pei's subordinates, he will always be charged with the son of a sinner.
After Mu Chenfeng finished speaking, he saw that the emperor was silent for a moment, and his eyes were stunned, as if he recalled some past events.
After a long time, Mu Chenfeng heard the emperor say: "This matter, it is true that I owe General Pei's wife justice, then it is up to you, the prince, to find out about this matter." ”
Mu Chenfeng was also stunned for a moment when he heard the emperor say this, he originally thought that his proposal today would take a long time to talk to the emperor before the emperor could agree, and he specially brought a few ministers from the court and the central government for this reason, but he didn't expect the emperor to agree so happily.
"Then the ministers will thank their father!"
After Mu Chenfeng finished speaking, he originally wanted to get up and retire, but who knew that it was the eunuch next to the emperor who came over.
"Tell the emperor, Prince Lian asks to see you."
When Mu Chenfeng heard the name Prince Lian, his heart instantly became vigilant, not only Mu Chenfeng, but even the ministers behind Mu Chenfeng also looked at the door of the imperial study.
"Xuan."
After the emperor finished speaking, he saw the eunuch go out: "Prince Xuanlian has entered the palace!" ”
After taking the eunuch to finish speaking, he saw Prince Lian carrying him in, and even the prince was followed by Old Lady Su.
Seeing this, Mu Chenfeng saluted Prince Lian with the ministers behind him, and then retreated to the back.
"I don't know what happened to you, brother, why did you come to find me?"
"Brother Huang, I'm here for General Pei's wife......"
Then I listened to Prince Lian start a tirade, but the content was almost the same as Mu Chenfeng, that is, this Prince Lian also wanted to participate in this matter.
Sure enough, as soon as this Prince Lian appeared, there was nothing good, and as for the emperor, after listening to Prince Lian's request, he was also a little surprised in his heart.
Although he knew that this Prince Lian had coveted the throne for a long time, why did this Prince Lian and the crown prince have exactly the same things to do, could it be that something had happened about the Pei family recently, so they were scrambling to take over the matter of clearing the Pei family's grievances?
"Brother Huang, I have already handed over this matter to the crown prince."
The implication is that there is no need for Prince Lian to intervene, but Prince Lian has already made up his mind in his heart to compete with Mu Chenfeng for this matter.
"Back to the imperial brother, this matter is very important, if the prince goes to investigate alone, I am afraid that there will be trouble, it is better for me and the prince to work together, so that it is convenient to clear up the grievances for Mrs. Pei earlier, after Mrs. Pei died, she has been burdened with trumped-up charges for more than ten years, doesn't the imperial brother want to quickly clear Mrs. Pei's charges?"
I don't know which sentence Prince Lian touched the emperor, but I saw that the emperor originally wanted to completely refuse to let Prince Lian participate in this matter, but after listening to Prince Lian's words, he nodded and agreed.
"Then the imperial brother, you and the prince will deal with this matter together."
Mu Chenfeng told him intuitively that there might be something wrong with this matter, and for so many years, as long as it was about Prince Lian, he would generally suppress it, and it would definitely not be as happy as he promised today.
At this time, Prince Lian was also a little surprised in his heart, but he quickly restrained this surprise, and he was thinking in his heart, it seems that there may be some unknown secrets in his imperial brother.
After saying this, Prince Lian and Mu Chenfeng walked out of the jade study at the same time, and the courtiers behind them also followed behind the two of them, and Old Lady Su noticed that some of his former friends had cast tentative or unfriendly glances at him.
But he could only stubbornly follow Prince Lian, hey, this was the first time he had followed Prince Lian so swaggeringly to stand in camp.
When Prince Lian and Mu Chenfeng came to the fork in the road, they heard Prince Lian say: "This king will investigate this matter with the imperial nephew!" ”
After hearing Prince Lian's words, Mu Chenfeng only felt panicked in his heart, but he still put on a gentle expression on his face and responded.
After Prince Lian left, Mu Chenfeng immediately dispatched his secret guards and asked them to investigate the affairs of Prince Lian in the past few days.
Cheng Ying, who was in the Cheng family, also received the news and knew that Prince Lian was also going to participate in the investigation of his mother's case, and for a while, he was puzzled.
"Based on his current situation, it seems that he should have known my identity for a long time, and since he knows my identity, why didn't he arrange a plot to expose my identity, but instead investigated my mother's incident with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"What else can there be, he must be trying to recruit you, after all, now your identity is just a layer of dust because of your mother's incident, if your mother completely clears her grievances and removes this layer of dust, you are a pearl."
Su Jinxiu opened her mouth disapprovingly, eating pastries in her hands, listening to Forsythia tell her about the situation of the second lady.
It is said that the next morning, when the second lady woke up, she found that she had become like this, and the whole person was not very good, and she looked crazy and kept stopping a person, as if she wanted to express something, but with the way she looked now, it was already good if others did not avoid her, how could she want to know what he was expressing.
