The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Miao Zhenting sneered: "It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is very powerful..."

Qin Ruihai said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Miao Zhenting said in a deep voice: "Keep investigating! We must find out the mastermind behind this!"

"Yes."

Qin Ruihai turned around and came out, and ordered the young eunuch: "Go and invite Lord Meng!"

The young eunuch agreed and left.

……

In the middle of the night, an old woman limped to the door of the side hall of Chuyun Palace. After looking around and seeing that there was no one there, she reached out and knocked gently on the door.

After a while, the back door opened and the old woman went in...

Under the dim candlelight, Nanny Yue asked, "How is it? They don't get suspicious, do they?"

The old woman nodded, "Don't worry! There will be no problem. I refused to confess at first, but I confessed after being beaten to death. They will definitely not doubt it!"

Nanny Yue said in a deep voice: "That's good! Whether the queen can overthrow Concubine Cao depends on this time!"

The old woman asked puzzledly: "Sister, is it really worth it for you to do this for the Zhou family?"

Nanny Yue said slowly, "Young lady is the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family, and I am her wet nurse. The master and his wife gave her to me before they died. If I don't do something for the Zhou family, wouldn't I be betraying their trust? This time, it's all thanks to you. You gritted your teeth and made them believe that this matter was related to Rongxi Palace... I owe you this!"

As Nanny Yue spoke, she couldn't help but touch the wound on the old woman's face with her hand and said, "Alas, the guards were too cruel..."

The old woman said softly, "Who makes us sisters? Your business is my business. I work in the palace and I can't help you with anything, but I didn't expect to encounter this... Everyone thinks my name is Gui Min, but my surname is Yue..."

It turned out that this person was Nanny Gui, who was a sister of Nanny Yue.

Since childhood, one of them was sent to the Duke's Mansion as a maid, and the other was sent to the palace as a maid. Later, Nanny Yue accompanied Jiang Jianian into the palace, while Nanny Gui stayed in Yuxia Palace after Concubine Ning's death.

After receiving the entrustment from Concubine Jia, Nanny Yue came up with a brilliant plan after careful thinking. With the perfect cooperation of her sister Guimin, she successfully made the emperor believe that Concubine Cao was related to the death of Concubine Ning!

And Concubine Cao did do this, but she had already silenced the midwives who were involved in this matter...

Before she died, one of the midwives told Aunt Gui the truth and gave her a silver note as proof.

Nanny Gui told her elder sister about this matter again. After the two sisters discussed it, they came up with this idea and successfully exposed the ugly things that Concubine Cao had done in the past!

Now even if she has great ability, she can't overturn the verdict!

Given the efficiency of the Shadow Guards, they will soon trace the case back to her.

……

Three days later, the emperor sat in the imperial study in silence...

Testimonies and evidence were placed on the desk, and the banknote was prominently listed among them...

All the evidence showed that Concubine Cao and Concubine Ning were closely related to each other's death. Moreover, this was not only the crime of murdering a concubine, but also the capital crime of killing the heir to the throne! This crime was unforgivable!

The emperor's mood was very contradictory and complicated...

Ever since the eldest son was exiled to become a monk at Hanruo Temple in Cuiming Mountain, the choice of the crown prince has become very clear, and the second prince Miao Wuhen has become the only candidate!

Although he was usually a bit cynical and free-spirited, he often came to the study to pay his respects and, contrary to his usual practice, stayed behind to listen to the ministers discussing state affairs.

In the past, he had no interest in these things. He would even try to push away the homework his master asked him to do. He was very naughty.

But in the past three or four years, I don't know what happened, but it was as if he suddenly changed his personality. Not only did he become polite in front of people, but he also knew to greet the ministers politely when he saw them.

He also suddenly became interested in political affairs and often sat there quietly to listen, which puzzled the emperor. He simply thought that he had grown up and become sensible, and even praised him to Concubine Cao.

But there is also something worrying about this child, and that is about his lifelong affairs...

He is already so old, but still has no idea of ​​getting married. He hangs around all day long and doesn't seem to be anxious at all!

Imperial Concubine Cao has already picked out many ladies from famous families, but he doesn't like any of them. In this respect, he is exactly the same as his brother, which is really worrying!

Could it be that he also likes one of the concubines? When the emperor thought of this, his heart suddenly contracted! Then his whole body began to tremble slightly...

After what happened with the eldest prince, he could no longer withstand any blow!

This son must not get into trouble again, otherwise the country will really be left without a successor.

And now he is getting weaker and weaker. Although he still looks majestic, he is the only one who knows his own body. The third prince Wu is still young and it is impossible for him to handle the government affairs in a short time. The only one left is the second prince Wuhen...

The emperor felt extremely annoyed. If he didn't deal with Concubine Cao, he would be sorry for Wuchen and his son!

But I want to deal with her, but I am afraid to do anything wrong... It's so difficult!

He sat quietly behind his desk, closed his eyes and thought for a long time...

Finally, he stood up and wanted to go out for some fresh air, so he left the study and went to the Imperial Garden.

As the emperor walked, he asked Mo Qi beside him, "What do you think of the Second Prince?"

Mo Qi bowed and said, "The Second Prince is a free and easy person. He doesn't follow so many rules and regulations, and he doesn't like to join cliques or factions. He is not a person who is keen on fame and fortune..."

The emperor nodded and said, "Wuhen is indeed not very interested in the throne. Being a rich and noble prince is most suitable for him... This is very different from his mother! The Cao family, from top to bottom, is very interested in power, and everyone wants to control the government..."

Mo Qi was slightly surprised and said, "How can this be possible? The world belongs to the emperor! No matter how hard the Cao family works, they are just ministers! How can they want to interfere in government affairs? Could it be that they have evil intentions?"

The emperor sneered and said, "It's a pity that they don't understand this truth! They still think that the world belongs to their Cao family! Cao Bangwei relies on the faction that he is a duke and his daughter is a concubine to wantonly form cliques in the court! Many officials above the fourth rank in the court are from the Cao family. I have to think carefully before I can touch them. Alas..."

Mo Qi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I don't think you need to worry! Although the Cao family has a huge network of connections, those people are paid by the court after all, and they dare not rebel easily. The most important thing now is to capture the Cao father and son. As long as they are controlled, their accomplices will not be a threat..."

The emperor nodded, then hesitated and said, "But I am worried that there will be no one to take over in the future... The third prince is still young. If the Cao family falls, who will take over the throne?"

Mo Qi said firmly: "Although the third prince is young, he is very talented. Given time, it is not impossible for him to become a wise ruler! As long as the ministers in the court support him, he will definitely not be too bad..."

The emperor looked at him suspiciously, frowning and asking, "Are you saying that the Second Prince is not fit to take over the throne?"
