Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

main hall.

The fifth prince, Li Chen, sat on the main seat, while Xia Bai'an and Mo Che sat on one side.

The three were silent.

Xia Bai'an was even less interested, and was still muttering in her heart, if she had known that Mo Che would be patient to receive the Fifth Prince, she might as well just lie in the room and pretend to be dead.

"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is here in person, what's the matter?"

Mo Che's flat voice broke the calm.

Li Cong's impatient expression eased a little, but his complexion was pale, his eyes were still slightly darkened, he looked extremely tired, and even when he spoke, he was not as aggressive as usual.

"I came here today because of the matter of Cen Yishan."

Mo Che replied: "Cen Yishan has been sent to your dungeon. As for his usual official position, Ao Pingchuan has already found an old friend, imitated Cen Yishan's handwriting, and sent a message to him. It is said that his old illness has relapsed, and he may not be able to get up for a while. There should be no one there for the time being." know."

After finishing speaking, Li Cong's face seemed to be a little more ugly.

Sitting next to him, Xia Bai'an twisted his own cuffs, and caught a glimpse of Li Cong's absent-minded appearance from the corner of his eye.

Maybe something else happened.

Mo Che also noticed this.

He got up immediately: "If your Highness has any unspeakable secrets, I can help you."

"Hey, it's good if you have this kind of heart." Li Cong then answered, and then took a deep look at Xia Bai'an, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Speaking of which, your wife and the prime minister worked together to quell the epidemic, but The prince will be punished by the prince, and the father will reprimand him, and the prince will always remember it in his heart."

Tsk, it's still a vengeance.

Xia Bai'an complained in her heart, but on the surface, she took another deep look at Mo Che.

Yesterday, Mo Che and Li Chen played a game and exposed everything about Cen Yishan.

Today, Mo Che suddenly expressed his loyalty to Li Chen again.

Mo Che was probably trying to win over the Fifth Prince.

But Li Cong suddenly mentioned such a sentence without thinking, maybe he suspected that he was from the prime minister's mansion, and wanted to wait for himself to show his loyalty.

At the same time, Mo Che suddenly said: "She is her, and I am next. If the fifth prince minds, please go to the study to discuss matters."

"..."

Mo Che, oh Mo Che, you left her clean!

She really hated Li Cong, and when she thought of Li Cong who set fire to the common people in order to claim credit early, she felt angry.

But it doesn't mean that she doesn't know how to take care of the overall situation at all.

Rather than confronting the Fifth Prince sulkingly, she doesn't mind trying to break into the interior and find a way to get rid of the annoying people.

So she stood up with a smile on her face, and slightly bowed to Li Cong: "Please forgive me for the previous matter, Your Highness the Fifth Prince."

Li Cong looked at Xia Bai'an with great interest: "It sounds like you had something to hide back then?"

"Your Excellency is upright, and the grass-roots girl just knows more medical skills than ordinary people. How can she influence the emperor's thoughts on how he treats the princes?"

Xia Bai'an smiled apologetically, and continued, "Compared to the little girl and the prime minister, His Royal Highness the fifth prince should think more about who is going to use the prime minister's uprightness as a knife to kill the top bird during the epidemic."

Hearing this, Li Cong frowned deeply and began to think.

At the beginning, he was indeed the first to mobilize his army and start to suppress the refugees from the epidemic.

And the prime minister's uprightness, past and present, almost no one can shake it.

This Xia Bai'an was indeed a doctor back then.

Rather than saying that these two were against him, it was better to say that behind them were his uneasy brothers who wanted to use the prime minister's hand to solve themselves, and then make themselves difficult for the prime minister.

Thinking of this, Li Cong looked at Xia Bai'an with admiration: "So, you have no hostility towards this prince?"

"Your Highness's words really upset the little girl, who has always been of the same heart as her husband and wife.

Yesterday, Xianggong and the little girl joined hands to set up a trap, just to expose Cen Yishan's crimes in front of His Highness the Fifth Prince.His loyalty to you can be learned from heaven and earth.As for the little girl, only the stallion is the one to follow. "

Speaking of this, Xia Bai'an even gave Mo Che an affectionate look.

By the way, give him a thumbs down.

The more Mo Che didn't want her to get involved, the more she wanted to get involved!

She is not an object, she is a treasure when you need it, and you throw it aside when you don't use it!

The veins on the back of Mo Che's hands swelled.

This woman... was so spoiled, she became more and more restless!

From Li Cong's point of view, Mo Che cared so much about Xia Bai'an yesterday, and Xia Bai'an is so cute today, it seems that the husband and wife are of the same heart, it doesn't look like a fake at all.

"Since Mr. Captain and Mrs. Captain are so concentric, I don't have to avoid suspicion."

After finishing speaking, Li Cong slightly raised his hand, and the servants in the room left immediately.

Mo Che and Xia Bai'an took their seats respectively.

Just as Xia Bai'an picked up the teacup, his spine felt a chill.

She looked at Mo Che with a strange feeling, and saw that his eyes were full of warnings, and he almost wrote a few big words on his face - not much!

Xia Bai'an pretended not to notice, the cup in Mo Che's hand cracked instantly, some tea spilled all over the table, he put it down patiently.

"Please tell me, Your Highness," Mo Che said.

"Actually, something strange happened in my prince's residence yesterday."

When Li Cong said this, his arms trembled slightly, "The prince thought about his dead wife last night, and thought that the murderer had been arrested, he should Ling Chi, cut off his flesh and blood one by one, to commemorate my dead wife. Unexpectedly... last night I was I saw the ghost of my dead wife in the ancestral hall, and when the prince sent someone to investigate, Cen Yishan in the dungeon suddenly disappeared."

Xia Bai'an's hands shook violently.

Damn, is this some kind of ghost story!

After thinking about it, she still put down the tea - she couldn't drink it for a while.

Mo Che asked: "Your Highness doesn't seem like someone obsessed with ghosts and gods, is there something strange about it?"

"Yes." Li Cong suddenly covered his face, as if he was enduring it, but his voice was already trembling, "Because the deceased prince and concubine suddenly sat up last night, the yard caught fire, and after everything was over, Cen Yishan disappeared. There was no trace, and the guards suddenly fainted, and the matter has not been announced yet, so it is not easy for me to send other people to investigate, so I came to ask you, Captain, to help investigate."

Xia Bai'an felt a chill down his spine.

Not right.

Didn't the concubine die when Mo Che was reprimanded?

How can you sit up?

She was about to ask, but she heard Li Cong slowly put down his hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said every word.

"The person who took Cen Yishan away must have tampered with my Rou'er!

That's why my Rou'er can't sleep peacefully after death, I... must find this person, cut him and Cen Yishan into pieces, and avenge my Rou'er! "

A flash of surprise flashed in Mo Che's eyes, while Xia Bai'an trembled slightly.

The two thought at the same time.

It turned out that the fifth prince's first concern was not that Cen Yishan was taken away, but that he cared about...

The body of his late wife might have been tampered with?
