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

Mo Fu.

Mo Tao's residence.

After dinner, Xue's mother and daughter went to the study to find Mo Tao.

Mo Shuhua urged Mo Tao, "Father, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xue was also anxious, "Yes, Master, do you want to send an invitation to Prince Yu's Mansion?"

Mo Shuhua urged again, "Father, time waits for no one, opportunity cannot be missed, what are you worried about?"

Mo Tao said in a deep voice: "Minister Fang is a member of the Jin Wang Party. If I follow him and stand on the wrong side, I will lose my head."

"Even Princess Yu is not afraid, so what is the master afraid of?" Xue said indifferently, "Besides, why should the master, with his official rank, take sides?"

A fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites was not very important in Shengjing City and could only attend the New Year's banquet at the palace.

Xue felt that even if Prince Jin wanted to seize the throne, he would look down on Mo Tao, so whether he succeeded or not had little to do with him.

Mo Shuhua added: "Princess Yu can be so generous to a maid, if we stick to her, won't we get more benefits?"

Xue agreed, "Shuhua is right. Your brother won't help you, and Prince Qi is even less reliable. Why don't we find a backer ourselves?"

Mo Shuhua became more and more anxious as she spoke, fearing that her marriage would be snatched away by someone else. "Father, please make a decision soon. I am thinking about the family."

Mo Tao was also tempted when he thought about how he would not be promoted for a long time. "Forget it, I will send an invitation tomorrow and we will go to visit Prince Yu and Princess Yu together."

As Mo Zhaohua's uncle, it is reasonable for him to visit Prince Yu's Mansion during the New Year, and it will not arouse suspicion.

Although Chu Xuanchi's legs were disabled, he had military merits and was given the power of the Iron Cavalry Battalion last month, so he could indeed serve as a backer.

If he could make friends with him, the benefits he could get would be greater than that of his brother who refused to help and the unreachable Prince Qi.

"Okay, then my daughter will go and prepare now." Mo Shuhua was completely relieved and left the study with a happy smile.

Mo Tao frowned in confusion, "We are only going to Prince Yu's Mansion, not to meet the second young master of the Fang family, so why do we need to prepare?"

Mrs. Xue smiled and explained, "As a girl, it's natural for me to want to look good when I go out. The master won't understand."

Mo Tao disagreed, "Women are indeed troublesome. Besides, no matter how she dresses up in front of Princess Yu, it will be useless, right?"

Xue's smile froze on her face. Mo Shuhua's appearance could only be described as pretty, which was incomparable to Mo Zhaohua's beauty.

Imperial Palace, west wing of the main courtyard.

Mo Zhaohua had finished acupuncture for Chu Xuanchi and had just laid down.

She has been waiting for the results of the investigation these days. "It's been so many days, why is there still no news from Prince Qi's Mansion?"

Chu Xuanchi was not in a hurry at all. "It shows that the person behind the scenes is powerful and Lao Liu's people can't find out."

Mo Zhaohua suspected King Jin, "Based on your understanding of King Jin, does he have such powerful people under his command?"

"It's not impossible. Although he himself doesn't have much ability, he has an uncle who has great connections."

When Chu Xuanchi mentioned Lin Tianzuo, he couldn't help but think of his own maternal clan. He also had two uncles who had made great military achievements.

Unfortunately, overnight, the Duke of Protector of the Country became a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and sold out his country, and his uncle who killed the enemy on the battlefield also became a traitor.

"Left Prime Minister Lin is indeed very capable, otherwise he would not have become the Left Prime Minister at such a young age and become the right-hand man that Your Majesty relies on."

In the darkness, Mo Zhaohua couldn't see Xuan Chi's expression clearly. He was so focused on the topic they were talking about that he didn't realize he would overthink it.

Chu Xuanchi collected his thoughts and said, "His greatest ability is that he was my father's companion in the past. Otherwise, how could he have been promoted so quickly?"

Lin Tianzuo was about the same age as Emperor Wenzong, and he was the grandson of the Grand Tutor, so the late emperor asked him to be a study companion to Emperor Wenzong, who was still a prince at the time.

Emperor Wenzong rose from a prince to a crown prince, and then ascended the throne to become emperor. Lin Tianzuo accompanied him all the way, and he also rose to a high position among the ministers.

"Forget it, let's not talk about others." Mo Zhaohua stopped talking, "How are your legs these days, my husband? Have you moved them more as I told you?"

Chu Xuanchi seemed to be asking for credit, "I have memorized every word of Zhao Zhao's words and practiced often. I can now lift my legs higher. Isn't that good?"

"Well... my husband and grandfather are the most well-behaved patients I have ever seen. So let me reward my husband with a..." Mo Zhaohua stopped abruptly.

Before she finished speaking, Chu Xuanchi understood what she meant and kissed her lips directly, blocking the words from her mouth.

He knows her well, and they love each other.

Three days passed yesterday.

Unfortunately, Leng Yan was unable to give Chu Xuanhan a result and was scolded last night.

Fortunately, the investigation made a breakthrough this afternoon and he found out the truth.

Chu Xuanhan had taken leave for the past few days and was currently in the study room in the mansion, staring coldly at Leng Yan as he came in.

Although he promised to give Leng Yan some more time last night, he was still angry. "I will take it as your apology for your death."

Leng Yan did not kneel down this time, but only saluted with his fists, "Master, please forgive me. I delayed you for half a day."

Seeing his attitude, Chu Xuanhan felt more confident. "You suddenly come to report this now, but have you finally found any results from the investigation?"

Leng Yan reported, "Yes, someone has confessed that they were instructed by Yihe to smear abortion powder on the strawberries..."

She was a second-class maid named Zhaoxia, who served in Chu Xuanhan's courtyard. It was she who went to Wutong Garden to deliver strawberries that day.

"Where is she?" Chu Xuanhan was afraid that he would die without any evidence. "But don't tell this king that you couldn't even take care of a slave girl and let her commit suicide out of fear of the crime."

Leng Yan was also afraid that this time, like what happened to Xing Hong last time, he had been too harsh and ended up beating the person to death, so he specifically asked his men to show mercy this time.

It was precisely because of this that Chaoxia was able to hold out in the past few days and not let them pry her mouth open. After she confessed today, Leng Yan immediately asked the palace doctor to treat her.

Hearing Chu Xuanhan's words at this moment, Leng Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "No, the person is outside, the master can personally interrogate him at any time."

Chu Xuanhan shouted angrily, "Why don't you bring her in? Are you waiting for me to go out and personally bring that bitch in?"

"Master, please calm down. I will bring the person here right away." Leng Yan did not bring Chaoxia in before because he wanted to report the result.

Chu Xuanhan waited for a while, and then saw Leng Yan dragging in a woman with disheveled hair and covered in blood, and throwing her to the ground.

Seeing the man who killed his son, he had murderous intent in his eyes, "How dare you, this lowly maid, drug the concubine!"

Zhaoxia lay on the ground, "Please spare my life, my lord. I really have no choice. It was Miss Yihe, the maidservant who came with the princess, who forced me to do so."

"Is it that slut?" Chu Xuanhan often went to Mingyueju after getting married, so he naturally recognized Yihe. "That must be what Yuchi Jiyue meant!"

If this was true, not only would he not have to explain to the General's Mansion, the other party would have to kowtow to him and confess their guilt.

But could it really be Yuchi Jiuyue?
