The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

"Is Princess Pingting teaching this prince how to do things?"

Although Mo Yanli thought Mu Yan's suggestion was very good, as the crown prince, he would not allow others to teach him how to do things in that tone.

Mu Yan opened her lips slightly and said, "I dare not. If the Crown Prince feels that what I said is wrong, you can lock the Crown Princess up in the Dali Temple. But before you lock the Crown Princess up, you should ask the Emperor and the Queen first."

She shook her head secretly. This prince really didn't have the magnanimity of a crown prince. I'm sorry, but she was born with a rebellious nature and really didn't know how to flatter. You can listen to it or not.

"you……"

"I think Princess Pingting's suggestion is very good." A very majestic voice came.

"Uncle Emperor."

"Greetings to His Majesty the King of Cold."

Mu Yan also stood up and saluted, looking at Mo Yuche in confusion. Why did he come here?

Mo Yuche and Mu Yan looked at each other, and as if he wanted to clear up her doubts, he said to the prince, "When I passed by, I saw that the security here was very tight. After asking the gatekeeper, I learned that something big had happened in the mansion, and then I came in to see what was going on. Will the prince blame me for meddling in other people's business?"

Mo Yanli smiled and said, "How could that be? It's naturally good for the emperor's uncle to come and take charge of the situation."

Mo Yanli still had that icy face, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Well, let's do as Princess Pingting said. The Crown Princess will be confined to her own palace first, and the two maids will be detained separately. The rest of the officials and their wives will be questioned one by one to find out the suspects. What do you think, Crown Prince?"

"Everything is arranged by the emperor's uncle."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief. Both the deceased and the suspect were from his prince's mansion. If he were to handle the case, he was afraid that others would feel that it was unfair. Prince Han had always been impartial and held a high position of power. It would be best if he could take over the matter on his own initiative.

The officials and their families standing by also agreed with this approach.

When Jiang Nianchen saw Mo Yuche coming, she felt relieved. Fortunately, she had foresight and was afraid that Sister Mu Yan would suffer a loss, so she contacted him using the unique communication method between her and Mo Yuche.

Tell him to come quickly, otherwise Sister Mu Yan will be bullied by this prince.

After the case was taken over by Prince Han, the people in the Prince's Mansion were very cooperative. They immediately found a palace and placed some screens in the palace to question some officials' families.

All the officials' wives cooperated very well and told everyone when they had arrived at the Prince's Mansion, where they had been and what they had done, without leaving out anything, because they also wanted to clear their suspicion as soon as possible so that they could return home earlier.

After being questioned, Mu Yan walked straight to King Han and asked, "How is it, did you find anyone suspicious?"

Mo Yuche shook his head: "No, so far no one has seen Concubine Xiao."

This was also expected. All officials' wives were guided into the courtyard by the palace maids of the Prince's Mansion. Even when changing clothes, they would be taken to the designated rooms by the palace maids. It was unlikely that they would act alone, so the possibility that the murderer was among the officials' wives was extremely small.

Mo Yuche chuckled and said, "The princess seems to be very concerned about this case?"

Mu Yan paused for a moment after hearing this and sighed, "I just don't want innocent people to be wrongly accused."

Then the figure of a palace servant came into her sight.

"Eunuch Cai."

When the palace servant saw that it was Mu Yan, he immediately smiled and said, "It's the princess. May I ask how I can help you?"

This person was the palace servant who had just led her into the courtyard. He had just received a generous reward, so he naturally flattered Mu Yan in every way.

"Eunuch Cai, please take me to the back garden of the Prince's Mansion."

The personal maids of the Crown Princess and Concubine Xiao both said that the last time they saw Xiao Yuhuai was in the back garden, so she was most likely murdered there, and perhaps some clues could be found there.

"This..." Eunuch Cai was a little embarrassed. After all, Mu Yan was not a government official. If he allowed her to move around, the prince would definitely blame him when he found out.

"Just follow Princess Pingting's instructions on everything." Mo Yuche walked up to Mu Yan and ordered sternly.

As soon as Eunuch Cai saw Mo Yuche, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, since His Royal Highness Prince Han has given the order, there must be no problem."

Mu Yan curled the corner of her mouth. It seemed that money was nothing compared to power. A higher-ranking official could crush a person to death. As a princess, she really couldn't compare to Prince Han in terms of face.

With Prince Han following beside them, no one dared to stop them along the way, and they soon arrived at the back garden of the Prince's Mansion.

The back garden is located at the northernmost end of the Prince's Mansion. The scenery in the courtyard is unique, with gurgling streams and crisscrossing rockery. However, behind this beautiful scene, there is a hint of blood.

At this time, a guard came over and reported to Mo Yuche: "Your Majesty, we have checked the entire back garden, but we didn't find any clues."

Mu Yan then discovered that there were many government officials searching in the back garden. She subconsciously looked at Mo Yuche with a hint of admiration in her eyes. It turned out that he had already thought of what she had thought of.

At this moment, the corner of her eye inadvertently swept over Cai Gongche, and saw that he looked panicked and his eyes were evasive.

Mu Yan frowned and asked, "Eunuch Cai, what's the matter?"

"No, no, no." Eunuch Cai pretended to be relaxed, but the action of wiping his sweat with a handkerchief still exposed him.

Mu Yan winked at Mo Yuche, who immediately understood what Mu Yan meant and said, "Eunuch Cai, Concubine Xiao is a member of the royal family. This case is of great importance. If anyone knows about it but does not report it, or conceals something, according to Northern Qi law, they will be guilty of the same crime as murderers and should be executed."

Ah? To be beheaded?

These words frightened Eunuch Cai so much that his face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

"Your Highness Prince Han, please spare my life. I will tell you everything.

When I passed by the back garden this morning, I seemed to see Wang Liangdi here as well. She was sneaking around next to the rockery, but I just glanced at her and didn't dare to confirm it. I was afraid that I had seen it wrong, so I didn't dare to say anything.

Please don't punish me!"

"Get up."

Seeing that he was telling the truth, the two men did not continue to embarrass him. As for the fact that the Northern Qi law stipulated that one would be executed if he knew something but did not report it, it was just to scare him.

Mu Yan hurriedly walked towards the rockery. She had already vaguely guessed that the matter was related to Wang Peiru, and now after hearing what Eunuch Cai said, she became even more certain.

After all, generally speaking, whoever benefits most from the case is the most suspicious.

Once Concubine Xiao died, not only would the baby in her belly be killed, but the crime could also be pinned on the Crown Princess. Then the biggest beneficiary of this incident would definitely be Wang Peiru.

Moreover, she had experienced the cruelty of that woman, so she was capable of doing such a thing.

Mu Yan carefully inspected the rockery, but found no clues.

"Eunuch Cai, did you really see Wang Liangdi here at that time?"
