Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

"Princess, the prince is not in the room." The butler came out of Li Maoan's bedroom and said respectfully.

Hearing this, Mu Zhen showed a puzzled look, "Not in the bedroom? Then where could he go? But he got up early and went to the back garden? Go to the back garden and take a look."

"Yes!" the butler responded and stepped away.

After a while, the butler came hurriedly, with a thin layer of sweat on his face, "Princess, the prince is not in the back garden. I have asked people to look for him in other places in the palace, but he is nowhere to be found."

"No one is seen?" Mu Zhen's face was more confused.

"Mother, maybe father went out early to relax." Li Wanru said, "Didn't you say that father was in a bad mood yesterday? When father was in a bad mood in the past, he would go out early to relax."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mu Zhen nodded in agreement, "He must have gone out early to relax."

She looked at the housekeeper and said, "Well, send a few people to look for the places where the prince often goes. Wanru and I will go to Xu's house first. After you find the prince, you can come with him."

"Ah~~" He sighed helplessly, "Gigi Lai's incident really surprised us. Everything was fine before, we were drinking tea and chatting together, how come she suddenly disappeared."

At this point, her voice choked a little, "I am her friend, and I want to go and burn some incense for her as soon as possible. I won't wait for the prince, you accompany the prince to the Xu Mansion."

When talking about Gigi Nguyen, the housekeeper actually felt a little guilty.

After all, he knew everything about Li Maoan and Ruan Lizi.

Therefore, the prince was in a bad mood right now and disappeared early, which must be because of Madam Xu's matter.

"Yes!" the butler replied, "I will give the order right away and prepare sedan chairs for the princess and the county lady."

"No need." Mu Zhen refused, "Mother Ying is already prepared. You can go find the prince. You can't be disrespectful in Xu's house at this time."

"Yes, I know. I'll go right away. Princess and Princess, please be careful on the road." The butler responded cautiously.

Mu Zhen sighed helplessly again, "Wanru, let's go first. Panyue should also be in Xu's house at this time. You are friends, comfort her."

"Okay, mother." Li Wanru responded.

Of course I have to persuade her. Not only do I have to persuade her, I have to rub salt into her wounds.

Oh yes!

The prince's cousin and his wife must be there too, and I can listen to some gossip from his wife.

She didn't care at all whether Gigi Ng was dead or alive, or whether Xu Panyue was sad or not.

She really wants to hear what her cousin's wife has to say.

It's been a long time since I last listened to it. There must be a lot of gossip. She had to go eat some melons from her cousin's melon field.

The mother and daughter took Buyanbuyu and Ying's mother to Xu's house.

As for the housekeeper, he naturally quickly arranged for the servants to go out of the house to look for Li Maoan.

Of course it is impossible to find him, after all, Li Maoan had been silenced by Xu Yufan.

The Queen of the Pepper Palace also received the news of Ruan Lizi's death.

"What? Dead? Ruan Lizi is dead?" The queen was surprised, with a look of disbelief in her eyes, "Why is it so sudden?"

Wasn't he fine a while ago? How come he died suddenly?

She still had a lot of things she wanted Ruan Lizi to do.

Now that he died suddenly, wouldn't that disrupt her future plans?

The queen's brows were tightly knitted together, her eyes were dark, and she seemed to be thinking about something.

Nanny Hu and Eunuch An didn't dare to say anything and just stood there in silence.

After a period of rest, Madam Hu's injuries have almost healed.

As for Eunuch An, he was fine long ago.

He had inquired about this news. After all, the queen was still under house arrest and could not leave the Pepper Room, and no one else was allowed to come to the Pepper Room.

But Eunuch An would secretly leave the Pepper Palace to do some things for the Queen and to inquire about some information.

"She is so useless!" The Queen snorted sarcastically, "She is dead, so be it! I don't need her to do anything."

However, the people who worked for her and Helian Qi kept getting into trouble one after another, which made her very upset.

What's more, even she and Helian Qi were punished by the emperor and put under house arrest.

But that bastard Helian Chen was very smug.

One Ruan Lizi died, and the other Han was sent to a temple to practice Buddhism with her hair uncut.

Suddenly, she had two fewer people she could use.

It seems that she has to find a way to attract a few useful people again.

"An Dehai, please go to the Qianqing Palace and tell me that I have realized my mistakes. I have heard the bad news about Madam Xu and want to go to the Xu Mansion to burn incense for her. I beg the emperor to allow me to do so."

The Queen spoke in a deep voice to Eunuch An.

Eunuch An nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Madam, I will go right away."

After saying that, he hurried out.

"Your Majesty, do you think there is something strange about Madam Xu's death?" Madam Hu asked cautiously.

"Oh!" The Queen sneered disapprovingly, "It would be strange if there was nothing wrong. You haven't seen her before, and she looks like someone who is ill, right?"

"He died just like that. What else could it be but being silenced?"

"But I really can't figure out who would want her life?"

"Master Xu?" Matron Hu asked cautiously.

"No." The queen denied, "Xu Chongshan has no reason to take her life."

"Then... could it be that she is still the wife of Prince Mu?"

Hearing this, something flashed in the queen's eyes, "Xu Zhimiao is a possibility, but where does she get the courage to do this?"

"I will test her. If this is true, I will punish her!"

"That's right, that's right!" Madam Hu nodded repeatedly, "Masticide is a capital crime! If she really killed Madam Xu, not only will she die, but the entire Dingyuan Marquisate will also be convicted!"

"Then Prince Mu is her husband, so his crime is unforgivable! Madam, I think this is a good opportunity."

"So, even if Madam Xu's death has nothing to do with Princess Mu, it must be related to her! Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion must be punished!"

"Otherwise, how can we get rid of the anger of the Queen and His Highness being punished?"

The queen did not respond, but sometimes silence is the best recognition.

I have to admit that what Aunt Hu said makes a lot of sense.

This is a good opportunity to strike at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, or even a good opportunity to strike at Lian Hechen.

Something happened in Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. How could Helian Chen, the future son-in-law of the mansion, remain unscathed?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely get it done and do it beautifully." Madam Hu promised with a firm face.

The queen nodded. "Well, go ahead and do it. Remember, don't leave any evidence behind and don't arouse suspicion."

"Yes!"

"What big thing is the Queen going to do now? She can't leave any evidence behind and can't arouse suspicion?" The emperor's cold voice sounded outside the door.
