Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Mo Zhaohua couldn't talk about the past life, so he could only hint, "Not only that, my husband can think about it in combination with that strange thing."

Shuying didn't want to disturb the couple any further, so she whispered to Wuying beside her, "What strange thing happened? Do you know?"

Wuying always reminds me of the rules, "I don't know, just focus on your own business, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, don't listen to things you shouldn't listen to."

Shuying had some respect for him, and it would be rude to say any more, so she kept silent and went about her business.

Seeing Chu Xuanchi pondering, Mo Zhaohua thought of the official duties he still had to attend to and did not want to waste his time, so he stopped him in time.

"Forget it, my husband, remember this fortune and think about it when you have time. Maybe you will find something new. Now let's get down to business."

Considering that Wuying and Shuying were still there, Chu Xuanchi decided to wait until he was ready to go to bed at night to chat with her and think, "Okay, I've made a note of it."

Mo Zhaohua changed the subject, "Prince Qi and Princess Qi are coming to the palace to express their gratitude today. My concubine's younger sister is staying at the mansion. I'm afraid she will be jealous again."

Chu Xuanchi pursed his lips and said, "There will be many days like this in the future. If she likes to eat so much, she might open a vinegar shop."

Hearing this, the corners of Mo Zhaohua's pretty mouth curled up instantly, "Opening a vinegar shop, my husband, what you said is really very good."

Chu Xuanchi reached out and touched the corner of her curved mouth. "That's right. My Zhao Zhao's mouth corners can't be suppressed. It's very beautiful."

Mo Zhaohua smiled brightly, "I don't know how the investigation into yesterday's tea ceremony went. Will there be any results today?"

Shuying immediately replied, "It was too late yesterday to test it, but it should be fine today. Let's wait for the results."

Mo Zhaohua was a little surprised. "Is Shuying so powerful that she can even find out this? Could it be that she has planted someone in Prince Qi's mansion?"

Shuying replied, "I did think so, but Prince Qi was keeping a close eye on him, and I was only able to persuade one person to rebel, so the information I could get was limited."

Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "Nothing, Prince Qi married a concubine and took in a new one, so the two courtyards will definitely have more people, this is a good opportunity."

"The master thinks so too. We have arranged the people in advance and are just waiting for the matchmaker to take them to the people in Prince Qi's Mansion for selection."

It was clearly Shuying who did it, but he pushed the credit to Chu Xuanchi, just to make them understand each other.

"There should be no problem with the people we have added to our courtyard, right?" Mo Zhaohua only brought two maids as a dowry and had added a group of people to the main courtyard.

"Don't worry, Princess. They are all carefully selected and have clean backgrounds." The people added to the main courtyard did not go through Wei Zhengde's hands. They were arranged by Shuying.

"That's good. I think he's a good guy. We'll be one of our own from now on." Mo Zhaohua trusts the guards around Chu Xuanchi very much.

When Chu Xuanchi broke into the palace in his previous life, it was these guards who escorted him to Fengyi Palace. There were about ten of them in total, and several of them have not appeared yet.

That afternoon.

Prince Qi’s Mansion, study.

Leng Yan reported to Chu Xuanhan, "Master, I have found out."

Yesterday he had asked someone to send two cups and a teapot used for serving tea for inspection.

I just got the exact result this morning. There is nothing wrong with the teapot, but the materials of the two teacups are different.

The intact teacup will not be too hot when hot water is poured into it, but the opposite is true for the broken one.

Chu Xuanhan's face was terribly gloomy. "Besides the material, are there any other abnormalities? Have you asked someone to check it out carefully?"

Leng Yan stood with his head lowered. "We have checked it in detail and found no toxins. It is just a little hotter than ordinary cups and bowls."

Chu Xuanhan was relieved after confirming that it was not poisonous, and continued to ask Leng Yan, "Have you found out who did it?"

Leng Yan said respectfully, "I have interrogated several people who handled the cup, but have not been able to obtain any useful information."

Chu Xuanhan's words were cold. "You dared to reach out to this palace by torture. If I don't punish you, will you let you be a nuisance?"

"This is already the result of torture. If they are tortured again, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it, and I'm afraid someone will die."

Although Leng Yan did not interrogate the man personally, he was well aware of how cruel the interrogation methods in the private prison in the mansion were.

Chu Xuanhan disagreed, "If he dies, he dies. Anyway, the mansion needs to add more servants. Isn't it just a matter of a few silver coins?"

When he mentioned human life, there was only indifference and disdain on his face, without the slightest bit of mercy. In his eyes, human life was nothing but grass.

Leng Yan couldn't bear it, and whispered, "I'm afraid they will die in vain and become scapegoats for the real culprit behind the scenes."

Chu Xuanhan was displeased, "When did you become so soft-hearted? Who has accomplished great things without stepping on blood and bones?"

Leng Yan didn't dare to say anything more to persuade him, "Master, I know I am wrong."

Chu Xuanhan was still dissatisfied, "If you were not my uncle's man and had followed me since childhood, I would have long since stopped tolerating you."

Leng Yan immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Master, please calm down. I admit my guilt."

Chu Xuanhan ordered grimly, "You are responsible for this matter. If you can't find a result, let Leng Feng follow me from now on."

"Yes, Master!" Leng Yan stepped back and went to find an inconspicuous servant, and whispered, "Tell the Master..."

***

During dinner, Chu Xuanhan went to Mingyueju.

He took the opportunity of having dinner with Yuchi Jiuyue to tell her the results of the investigation.

"Who is trying to sow discord between me and the concubine?" Yuchi Jiuyue kept silent about her own little thoughts at the time.

She deliberately left Mo Yaohua alone, letting him kneel on the ground for so long, just to take the opportunity to punish him and establish her authority as the mistress.

Chu Xuanhan wanted to speak for Mo Yaohua, "It's not clear yet, but at least it can be proved that the concubine did not offend the beloved concubine."

"The concubine was wronged. Yicui, go to the small storehouse and pick out a few pieces of jewelry. Send them to Wutong Garden and apologize to the concubine."

It was impossible for Yuchi Jiuyue to apologize in person. She did not think she was wrong. After all, she was also framed by others.

"Yes, your majesty." Yicui responded and stepped back. She went to Yuchi Jiuyue's small warehouse and picked out some jewelry and sent them to Wutong Garden.

When Mo Yaohua learned the purpose of her visit, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The incident of serving tea finally cleared her name.

However, seeing that only Yicui sent a few pieces of jewelry and Chu Xuanhan did not come to explain to her in person, she couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

Seeing that she was slow to thank him, Yicui asked her coldly, "Are you dissatisfied with the apology of our princess?"

Mo Yaohua was naturally dissatisfied, but she dared not say anything in anger, and even thanked, "No, I thank the princess for clearing my name."

Yicui said indifferently, "Since the concubine is pregnant, you should take good care of the baby. I will go back to Mingyue Residence to report first."

Mo Yaohua waited until she was far away before she spat, "Bah...what are you so proud of? She's just a foot-washing maid."

Jinqiu was envious, "She is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, and Yicui is the princess's maidservant, so her status is naturally different."

Mo Yaohua felt a little scared after hearing this, "I didn't come over to thank her in time, she won't go back and complain, right?"
