For the following period of time, Xiao Muzhe was busy making secret visits to the officials on the list every day.

He first told those officials that they could rescue their families from the second prince.

At the same time, they were also asked to investigate the identity of the mistress carefully.

If there is no problem with her identity, it would be better to take her back and make her a proper concubine.

Of course, the prerequisite is to communicate well with the wife at home.

Xiao Muzhe always communicated directly with officials.

Some officials will directly admit the fact that they have mistresses.

And he admitted that the person was indeed controlled by the second prince.

If the Second Prince could rescue the people and settle them down, they would be more than happy.

But some officials just play dumb.

He did not admit that he had a mistress and did not dare to mention the Second Prince.

It was not until Xiao Muzhe brought up his father that those stubborn people finally gave in.

In the end, all the officials reached an agreement with the second prince.

It is to rescue their families and then give those mistresses a legitimate identity.

As for those whose identities are in doubt, they will be treated accordingly.

After several days of hard work, Xiao Muzhe finally solved the problem.

Afterwards, he and Qin Mu worked together to arrange for people to set up outside the manor where the second prince was holding people, so that they could rescue the people inside at any time.

Cuihe and Cuimei have been imprisoned in Mufeng Palace during this period.

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of committing suicide, the Second Prince Xiao Cheng called Leng Yu over.

"New Year greetings, Second Prince."

Leng Yu knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.

“Cui He and Cui Mei can’t stay any longer.

So many days have passed, and they are still alive.

This shows that compared with the lives of their family members, they value their own lives more.

If this continues, they will betray me sooner or later."

Leng Yu understood immediately after hearing this.

"The Second Prince wants his subordinates to get rid of these two?"

"Ok.

You try to poison their diet."

Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of viciousness.

“After we get rid of those two slave girls, we’ll chop up their families and feed them to the dogs.

It's such a waste of food to keep them for so long."

"Yes."

Leng Yu responded, stood up and walked out.

After he left the Second Prince's palace, he quickly reached the Third Prince's Mufeng Palace.

He found the kitchen, hid in the dark, observed quietly, and waited for the opportunity.

“Is that soup ready?”

Soon, a maid walked into the kitchen and asked the cook who was cooking soup.

"Soup for Cuihe and Cuimei?"

A round-faced middle-aged cook asked with a smile as he poured the freshly boiled soup into a bowl.

"If it's not for them, then who else could it be for?

In my opinion, Cuihe and Cuimei are so bold as to disobey the Lord's command, they should be sent away with a bowl of poison.

Only the Third Prince was kind enough to spare their lives."

Mammy said with a look of disgust.

"is not that right?

I also heard about the story of Cuihe and Cuimei.

Our third prince is preparing to marry Princess Nanli, so there is nothing wrong with sending them away.

What's more, the third prince promised to arrange a good place for them.

When they get married, they will be given generous dowries.

In this case, what is there to be unwilling about?

It would have been fine if he just refused to leave, but he even wanted to commit suicide by banging his head against a pillar.

I really don’t know what they are thinking?

Good or bad.”

As they were talking, two bowls of soup were served.

The nanny was about to reach out to take it, but suddenly she pulled her hand back and covered her stomach.

"Ouch, I'm sorry.

I have a stomachache, I need to go to the toilet first.

I'll bring the soup later."

As she spoke, she ran out, holding her stomach.

The cook didn't care and shouted behind her,

"The soup is right here. You can get it when you come back."

After saying that, the cook turned around and went back to the inner kitchen to work.

Seeing this, Leng Yu's eyes lit up.

The opportunity came so soon.

His Highness Mu Feng's vigilance is too poor.

But come to think of it, who would care so much about providing food to two palace maids who had made mistakes?

Leng Yu tiptoed into the kitchen quickly, took out a packet of powder, poured it into two bowls of soup, and then stirred it quickly.

Afterwards, he looked around and saw that no one had noticed him.

He ran out quickly again and hid himself.

Not long after, the nanny came back.

She picked up two bowls of soup and called to the kitchen,

"I took the soup away."

"okay."

The cook's reply came from the inner kitchen.

Everything went smoothly, and Leng Yu couldn't help but curl his lips.

Afterwards, to make sure everything was foolproof, he followed the nanny all the way to see the results.

The poison he used was very effective. If one drank a sip, the person would die within a quarter of an hour.

He saw the nanny carry the soup into the room, and after a while, the nanny came out with two empty bowls.

He suddenly felt happy.

Then he waited patiently outside.

Until panicked shouts came from the house,

"Why are you vomiting blood?

Please call the imperial physician quickly."

Then another nanny was seen pushing the door and running out in a panic.

Soon, the imperial physician was called over.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, several eunuchs came out with stretchers carrying two bodies covered with white cloth.

Become!

Leng Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting rid of Cuihe and Cuimei, I think the Second Prince can rest assured.

As he thought so, he flew away silently.

He thought he had poisoned Cuihe and Cuimei without anyone noticing, but he didn't know that his every move was being monitored.

He returned to the Second Prince's palace and reported the matter of how Cuihe and Cuimei had been dealt with.

The second prince was really delighted.

"Well done, go and claim the three hundred taels of silver as a reward."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yu immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for the reward, Second Prince."

"It's getting late today. Go to the farm tomorrow and deal with the families of these two slaves."

The second prince ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes, Second Prince."

Leng Yu responded repeatedly.

On the second day, the second prince went to the morning court as usual.

Because the King of the Northern Empire has not fully recovered yet.

So he did not attend the morning court in person.

For officials in the court, attending the morning court session was just a formality.

"The king has arrived."

After all the officials arrived, a eunuch's shrill voice suddenly rang out.

Afterwards, the King of Beidi walked out with steady steps.

Xiao Muzhe followed behind him.

The second prince Xiao Cheng was stunned when he saw this, and then his eyes were filled with resentment and jealousy.

Why is father so good to Xiao Muze?

It's so biased and unfair.

As he thought so, he clenched his fists.

At this time, the King of Beidi had already walked to the side of the dragon throne. He sat down slowly, then looked at the eunuch beside him.

"Give the Third Prince a seat."

"Yes."

After the eunuch responded, he brought a chair to Xiao Muze.

"Please take a seat, Third Prince."

"Thank you, father."

After Xiao Muzhe bowed, he sat next to his father.
