The news of King Qin's assassination spread throughout Chang'an overnight, and in just one month, King Qin was assassinated twice, and the emperor was furious and ordered the Criminal Department to investigate the matter thoroughly.

And Li Nanyang and Shen Xiaoyi, who were on the same flower boat at that time, were both implicated in this incident. Although there is no definite evidence, the two were frequently questioned by the Criminal Department.

According to the news from the Shangguan Mansion, the dagger in King Qin's house was quenched with severe poison, and he was injured in the old and new ways, so that he fell unconscious and was in danger.

Therefore, there are many speculations about King Qin's injury, and the marriage between King Qin and Murong Mansion has become a mystery for a while.

One headache after another struck, which made the gray hair on the eldest lady's head add a few more, and her face became a little paler. Regarding Murong Xuan's case, she originally planned that King Qin would be able to help, as for the last time she was in the White Horse Temple, King Qin's attitude towards Murong Xun was not ruthless, but this was also based on his marriage with Murong Shan, but the last time King Qin visited, he was not salty to Murong Shan, and she couldn't help but worry, could it be that King Qin really loved Murong Xun's little slut? If that were the case, wouldn't it be a big deal! Later, Murong Shan was put on a position by Murong Xun again, grounded from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was not very worried about this matter, after all, Murong Shan's identity as the future princess was there, but at this time, it was rumored that King Qin was assassinated, and the life and death were unknown, for the eldest lady who was still counting on King Qin, how could she not be anxious?

"Madam, the spy Gu has come to report that he has found the trace of Xiyue!" A maid said.

"What!" The eldest lady was overjoyed, "Where can it be found by the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion?" ”

The maid replied, "In the mansion of the mighty general!" I heard that the eldest princess has already sent someone! ”

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, and her face showed a bit of solemnity, "The insider of the mighty general Wang Pengju is the handkerchief friend of the eldest princess, and I am afraid that this matter will be very unfavorable to us!" ”

The maid looked at the eldest lady and said steadily: "The mighty general was defeated in the old days and was almost dismissed, thanks to the prime minister's intercession, the prime minister also has the grace to carry him, if the prime minister comes forward in this matter, there may be a slight turnaround!" ”

The eldest lady nodded, "You're right! You ordered to go down and send the best killers from the Shangguan Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion to kill Xiyue no matter what, and besides, I'll go see the Prime Minister now!" ”

After finishing speaking, the eldest lady was sent down by the maid, and she changed her clothes and went to find Murong Hua.

When she arrived at Murong Hua's study, seeing him buried in the official documents, the eldest lady forced out a smile, and when she arrived at Murong Hua's side, she grinded for him, carefully observed his expression, and said carefully: "Xuan'er's case, the prime minister doesn't seem to be worried at all!" ”

Murong Hua didn't even raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" ”

The eldest lady was stabbed in her heart, her eyes were full of tears, and she said with trembling lips: "But Xuan'er is also the prime minister's biological flesh and blood, can the prime minister just watch Xuan'er die?" ”

Murong Hua stopped his pen, raised his eyes and glanced at the haggard look of the eldest lady, brushed away a faint trace of unbearability in his heart, and his eyes became cold, "Oh? ”

The eldest lady tightened her sleeves and said: "Xiyue is the only eyewitness to this case, as long as she is dead, the concubine has a way to make Xuan'er safe, and the prime minister is kind to the mighty general, he will definitely help him when he thinks of the prime minister's kindness, so the concubine hopes that the prime minister can write a letter to the mighty general!" ”

A few hints of chill and ridicule flashed in Murong Hua's deep eyes, the corners of his mouth were lightly picked, looking a little careless, and he said again: "Now that I know the pain of losing my child, what is it like to know when someone else loses their flesh and blood?" ”

The eldest lady's body stiffened, and her expression froze, "What does the prime minister mean?" ”

Murong Hua picked up the wolf hair and glanced at the eldest lady lightly, "Do you need me to remind the lady one by one?" ”

The eldest lady's face turned pale in an instant, "Even if the concubine has done a lot of wrong things, but Xuan'er is innocent, he is also the prime minister's flesh and blood, can the prime minister bear it?" ”

Murong Hua smiled mockingly, "If Madame is pleading for this matter, but she is asking for the wrong person!" Isn't he my flesh and blood, Madame? ”

The eldest lady's face was as pale as paper, her eyes widened and she looked at Murong Hua in disbelief, "You...... You know it all? How can it be? ”

Murong Hua restrained his smile, his eyes were so cold that there was no trace of emotion, "How did your brother and sister design me back then, do you think I didn't notice it at all?" ”

The eldest lady sat on the ground as if she had lost all her strength, and she looked at Murong Hua weakly, "Then are you doing this all to punish me?" In vain, I have been trembling every day for more than 20 years, but I never thought that in your eyes, I was like a clown, Murong Hua, you are really a good plan! ”

…………

"Does the prime minister really want to see me?" The third aunt looked at the maid who came to deliver the message with a look of surprise, "Come on, reward!" ”

The maid returned the broken silver rewarded by the third aunt, and said coldly: "The third aunt should hurry up and freshen up, the prime minister is still waiting!" ”

The third aunt also vaguely saw that something was wrong from the maid's face, and asked carefully, "But what happened?" ”

The maid bowed her head and said, "The slave doesn't know, but the aunt will naturally know when she goes!" ”

After the third aunt freshened up and dressed up, Fang Cai went to the hall with the maid. Entering the hall, she saw Murong Hua sitting on the upper seat, and the eldest lady, Murong Xun and the fifth aunt who had just entered the mansion in turn, her eyes turned around, she knew that Murong Shan had returned, and she was not allowed to see anyone because of the prime minister, but this time she didn't see her daughter's figure, and she had a little more doubts in her heart, "The concubine has seen the prime minister, madam!" ”

After Murong Hua picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, he glanced at the third aunt lightly, "Sit down!" After seeing the third aunt take a seat, Murong Hua continued: "I called everyone here today, but there are some things that need to be explained clearly!" He glanced at Murong Xun and said, "Xun'er! ”

Murong Xun nodded, got up, glanced at the eldest lady and the third aunt with a cold gaze, raised his chin slightly, and said coldly: "Today is mainly for the murder of my mother eight years ago!" ”

Putting the third aunt's pale face and the eldest lady's pretense of composure in her eyes, the corners of Murong Xun's mouth pursed a cold amplitude, and she cast a look at Yingge, Yingge understood, so she went out, and after a while, she brought an elderly woman with her.

The woman knelt on the ground, "The old slave has seen the prime minister, the fifth miss!" ”

Murong Xun glanced at the old woman on the ground, then looked at Murong Hua and said, "Father, this is my daughter's nurse back then, Mother Chen!" He said to Chen's mother: "Chen's mother, you will tell you about the things of the year!" ”

After Chen's mother kowtowed, she got up and said with tears in her eyes: "Prime Minister, the fourth aunt is wronged!" The fourth aunt didn't cheat on anyone back then, someone deliberately framed her! The fourth aunt received a letter that year, so she went to the hut where she was caught committing adultery, and it was the old slave who accompanied the fourth aunt at that time, but on the way, she was temporarily called away by Chun Tao under the eldest lady, and then it was rumored that something like that! ”

The eldest lady slapped the armrest of the chair, got up and pointed at Chen's mother and scolded: "Okay, you Diao slave, knowing that Chun Tao is not by my side at the moment, I just wronged Mrs. Ben, in the end, it is suitable for the heart!" Prime Minister, this Diao slave was caught by the concubine for stealing back then, and the concubine had punished her, so she held a grudge against the concubine, and asked the prime minister to be the master of the concubine! ”

Murong Hua's face was still pale, he didn't look at the eldest lady, but looked at Murong Xun and said, "Xun'er, you go on!" ”

Murong Xun nodded, took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Murong Hua, and said: "This is the handwritten letter of the two slaves who served the mother-in-law Chen and Hui Niang before they died, and the letter wrote how they received the instructions of the eldest lady to frame the mother-in-law!" ”

Murong Hua's eyes became darker and darker, and his expression became more and more condensed.

The eldest lady stared at Murong Xun viciously and said, "How could the Chen family and Hui Niang write this letter before they died?" Could it be that their deaths have something to do with you? ”

Murong Xun smiled lightly and said, "The Chen family and Hui Niang committed suicide and died, this is what everyone has seen with their own eyes!" ”

Glancing lightly at the eldest lady, Murong Xun clapped his hands again, and after a while, he saw a man with a full beard and a long scar on his face being brought up.

The eldest lady's face turned pale, how could it be, didn't there be news that this person had been killed?

Murong Xun circled around the man, and said lightly: "Why is the eldest lady's face so bad?" Does the eldest lady remember this person? ”

The eldest lady flicked her sleeves and sat down, "How do I know this person?" ”

Murong Xun said: "But Xun'er is very impressed by this person, thinking that my mother's life was buried in the hands of this person, if it weren't for my mother's desperate rescue, Xun'er would have become the soul of this person's knife!" ”

When the Chinese characters heard the words, they immediately kowtowed and admitted their mistakes, "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" The villain was also instructed by someone back then, and he didn't want to hurt the lives of Mrs. and Miss, so the adults spared their lives! ”

"By whom?" Murong Xun leaned over and said coldly in his ear.

The man shuddered and said, "Back then, a lady came and gave the villain a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and asked the villain to rob a person!" ”

Murong Xun pointed at the eldest lady and asked, "But this lady?" ”

The man said: "That lady is veiled, and the villain doesn't know!" It's just that the maid ring next to the lady is very beautiful, except for the first time I met the lady, and then I have been in contact with the girl! But the villain was later punished, and afterwards, instead of receiving the remaining treasures that were promised, the villain was hunted down, the village was gone, and the brothers were also dead. ”

"If that girl is here, do you recognize it?"

"Recognize!"

Murong Xun straightened up and glanced at Yingge, Yingge went out again, and after a while, he saw Yingge and Yanyu coming in together, followed by a woman, it was Chun Tao.

Yan Yu stepped forward in a few steps, blessed Murong Hua and Murong Xun, and said: "Miss guessed correctly, Chun Tao was really hunted down and killed at home, if it wasn't for the slave maid to go in time, Chun Tao would have suffered misfortune!" ”

I saw Chun Tao kneeling, "I've seen the prime minister!" She raised her eyes and looked at the eldest lady resentfully, "Madame is so ruthless!" ”
