In his previous life, he was disfigured and his eyes were gouged out, and he was reborn to kill ever

"coming."

Fang Ling, Qin Mu and Xiao Muzhe said in unison.

"What's coming?"

Ouyang Liuli was a little confused.

Xiao Muze reached out and touched the top of her head, saying lovingly:

"Don't worry about it, I'm here for you."

Fang Ling also gave her a reassuring look.

Well, the feeling of being protected and pampered by someone is actually quite good.

Ouyang Liuli simply stopped asking questions and stood behind Qin Mu with Fang Ling, and became the old doctor's female apprentice with peace of mind.

As the sound of horse hooves got closer, the person coming became clearer.

"It's the prince who brought people here."

Xiao Muze said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Liuli's eyes were full of vigilance, and his hand involuntarily reached for the golden whip on his waist.

After the prince led his men to Xiao Muzhe's side, he pulled the reins and stopped.

The twenty or so guards behind him also stopped.

"Third brother, you are finally back."

The prince's tone was full of reproach.

"You left the palace without a word before, and even when our father was sick, you didn't even come back to take care of him.

My father is seriously ill and still misses you every day.

You are really unfilial. "

Xiao Muzhe also felt guilty for not being able to be with his father when he was unwell.

After hearing the prince's accusation, he lowered his head without any words of defense.

When Ouyang Liuli saw the prince's hypocritical face, she really wanted to go up and whip him in the face.

Fang Ling reached out and held her, and shook her head gently.

The prince continued:

"My father is almost dying, and you are still traveling so leisurely in the carriage?

From the looks of you, you plan to rest on the side of the road all night?

Do you really know how to feel sorry for yourself? "

As he spoke, the prince glanced in the direction of the two carriages, and suddenly his eyes darkened.

"Third brother, what's going on with the little boy and the woman lying on the ground?

They are covered in blood, could it be that you killed them?"

Xiao Muzhe also thought that the little boy and the woman must have died from the poison.

However, he didn't know why the two of them were poisoned.

So he hurriedly explained,

“Your Highness, I don’t know the mother and son.

I just felt sorry for them, so I gave them chicken legs and steamed buns.

I don’t know why they vomited blood and fell to the ground.”

After hearing his explanation, the prince snorted coldly.

“I don’t know why they would fall to the ground?

I saw that the blood they vomited was black, and I thought it was caused by poisoning.

I think the two of them accidentally overheard your secret, so you poisoned them to death.

As the saying goes, a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner.

Come here, arrest the Third Prince and hand him over to the Dali Temple for trial."

The prince's fox tail was exposed.

He used the lives of two mother and son to frame his own younger brother and put him in prison.

Once you enter the Dali Temple, even innocence can turn into guilt.

Xiao Muzhe naturally knew his trick.

He clenched his fists and was about to have a falling out with the prince.

Qin Mu stroked his beard and stepped forward and said:

"Your Highness, how can you be sure that the mother and son are dead?

Did you know in advance that they would not survive?"

"Who are you?"

The prince's personal guard asked sternly,

"You dare to question the prince's words?"

Xiao Muze immediately replied:

"This is the traveling doctor, Doctor Qin, whom I found. He is an excellent doctor and I had to work hard to get him to treat my father."

"Humph!"

The prince snorted coldly.

"He's just a folk doctor, how dare you bring him to your father for treatment?

You are really a filial son, aren't you? "

Come, arrest them all and send them to the Dali Temple for trial.

I guess the poison that poisoned the mother and her child was given by this itinerant doctor."

"Yes."

The guards took the order, dismounted, swords in hand, and prepared to capture Xiao Muzhe and the others.

Xiao Muze had no intention of surrendering, he drew his sword from his waist and stood at the front, pointing the sword at the prince.

"Xiao Kun, are you framing me?"

"How dare you address His Royal Highness by his name?"

Prince Xiao Kun's personal bodyguard shouted loudly, drew his sword and flew down from his horse, pointing the tip of the sword directly at Xiao Muzhe.

Xiao Muzhe swung his sword to block, and the swords collided, making a sharp and piercing sound.

Qin Mu darkened his eyes, thinking that he must not let Xiao Muzhe fall into the hands of the prince. He gave Fang Ling a look and was about to step forward to help.

At this time, another group of people came galloping from a distance.

Soon, the second prince Xiao Cheng came with a group of people.

"Your Highness, please show mercy."

The prince turned around and saw that the second prince had also brought a lot of people with him, and more importantly, he was followed by the prince's tutor.

He frowned and raised his hand.

"Stop it first."

Hu…

The second prince pulled the reins, jumped off his horse, and knelt down to pay homage to the crown prince.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Tutor Sun also dismounted from his horse and knelt down to pay homage to the prince.

The prince quickly dismounted and walked to the side of Grand Tutor Sun, leaning over to help him up.

"Taifu, please stand up."

Tutor Sun was the prince's first teacher.

He is quite prestigious in the entire Beidi.

No matter what the prince's considerations are, he must give enough face to Tutor Sun.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Tutor Sun stood up, looked at the Crown Prince, then looked at Xiao Muze, and said:

"What has the Third Prince done that His Royal Highness wants to arrest him?"

When the prince saw that the tutor seemed to be protecting Xiao Muze, dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

“The Third Prince poisoned innocent women and children.

I am only arresting him according to the law and bringing him back for trial."

"Poisoning innocent women and children?"

Sun Taifu asked back with some suspicion,

"Is there any evidence?"

Although Tutor Sun is the prince's teacher, he never protects his shortcomings.

Act with integrity and stand on the side of justice rather than relatives.

This time the king was seriously ill and the prince did not allow anyone to visit him. Tutor Sun was already dissatisfied with the prince in many ways.

Moreover, before the king became seriously ill, the king had mentioned to him several times that the crown prince was not capable of the responsibility and wanted to depose him and appoint someone else as the crown prince.

Therefore, Tutor Sun had sufficient reasons to suspect that it was the Crown Prince who put the King under house arrest.

Facing the questioning of Grand Tutor Sun, the prince's face gradually darkened.

"Whether there is evidence or not, the third brother is the biggest suspect.

After being brought back to the Dali Temple for interrogation, won't the truth be revealed?"

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Sun showed no intention of backing down.

You know, when the king said he wanted to depose the crown prince, the candidates for the new crown prince he mentioned were the second prince Xiao Cheng and the third prince Xiao Muzhe.

I think the prince must have known the emperor's plan and wanted to strike first.

"Your Highness, you took the Third Prince to the Dali Temple without any evidence. It's inevitable that people will suspect that Your Highness has ulterior motives."

Tutor Sun bowed and retorted loudly.

The prince was instantly furious when he heard this.

"How dare you! Since you are my teacher, I will respect you a little.

Yet you dare to speak rudely to me time and again.

Tell me, there are two cold bodies lying there, what other evidence do you need?

If you want me to let the Third Prince go, you have to bring those mother and son back to life."

The prince was furious, causing all the guards to kneel down and shout:

"Your Highness, please calm down."
