Hearing this, Mu Zhen slowly turned around and looked at the housekeeper, "Since I found it, why didn't I come with you? But the prince is still in a bad mood?"

"Rongsheng, you too! As the butler, and the person the prince trusts the most, why don't you try to persuade the prince?"

"This is not the time for him to be willful. Madam Xu and I are good friends, and the prince and Mr. Xu are colleagues and friends. How can he not come and burn incense for Madam Xu?"

"Go, go back and persuade the prince to stop being so angry. Come here quickly! We are all waiting for him!"

Butler Rong swallowed hard, his expression looked extremely ugly, he almost cried.

"Princess, Prince...he...he can't come!"

"What do you mean he can't come?" Mu Zhenling looked at him and scolded, "Rongsheng, what are you talking about! Even if he is drunk, you have to carry him on your back and bring him to me!"

"If it doesn't work, have someone bring him here in a sedan chair."

"No, no, no!" Butler Rong shook his head repeatedly, his voice choking with sobs, "Princess, the prince... the prince... met with an accident! He is now... now in... Jingzhao Yin. Lord Wu should send someone to the palace... to... to let the princess and the princess go... to identify the body."

"What?!" Mu Zhen stepped back violently, his whole body full of disbelief.

"Ah Zhen." Xi quickly supported her and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Take care of yourself. We are just asking you to identify the body, it may not be Prince Rong's."

Mu Zhen was in a daze, his eyes were unfocused, his face was pale, and he leaned weakly against Xi.

"Wanru, accompany...accompany me to Jingzhao Yin." She looked dazed.

The most shocked person was Xu Yufan, with panic and fear flashing in his eyes.

How... how is it possible?

He… threw Li Maoan and Qian Zhang so far away, down such a high cliff. How…how could they be discovered by Jingzhao Yin so quickly?

And...the body has been carried to Jingzhao Yin?

So what about Qian Zhang?

Has it been found too?

It’s okay, it’s okay!

If he found it, he found it. Anyway, he was fully prepared.

Qian Zhang and Li Maoan fought over a woman and a green hat, and both of them died in the end.

This is called mutual destruction.

Li Maoan had a letter written "personally" by Qian Zhang on him.

It has nothing to do with him.

Don't panic, don't be confused, don't be afraid.

He kept comforting himself, and then slowly put away the panic.

What he didn't know was that, except for Mu Erjin and Mu Yiwen, father and son, everyone else was looking at him inconspicuously.

I could see all the expressions in his eyes and on his face clearly.

"Let's go to Jingzhao Yin with Azhen and Wanru." Xi supported Mu Zhen and said to Mu Changlin, "I'm worried about her like this. Besides, Wanru is a child and has never seen such a scene."

"We will go with them and give them some advice."

Mu Changlin naturally nodded in agreement, "You are right, we have to accompany the mother and daughter. We must not let them face it alone at this time."

"I'll go with you too." said Murjin.

He also wanted to know how Li Maoan died.

Why did he die suddenly?

During this period of time, the plans of the father and son have been disrupted again and again, and they don't know what's going on.

Once Li Maoan died, many of the previous plans could no longer be carried out.

"What happened? Why did the eunuchs from Jingzhao Yin come here?"

As they were thinking about their own things, a majestic voice was heard, which was very familiar to everyone.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived!" a high-pitched voice came from Qiufang.

Then, the emperor and empress, dressed in ordinary clothes, were seen walking towards this side.

The moment they saw the emperor and empress, everyone was shocked.

"Your Highness, I'm here to see the Queen!"

Everyone knelt down respectfully.

"Everyone, stand up." The emperor raised his hand, signaling everyone to stand up. "Who can tell me what happened? Why is the official from Jingzhao Yin here?"

"Xu Chongshan, you say!" The emperor directly named Xu Chongshan.

Xu Chongshan trembled as he told the story again. As for the arrival of the Jingzhao Yin official, he was also completely unaware of it. "Your Majesty, I really didn't know that the Jingzhao Yin official came."

"Your Majesty, we are here on the orders of Lord Wu to invite Mr. Xu." One of the constables said bravely.

Mother!

They actually saw the emperor and the empress!

How could low-level government officials like them have the chance to meet the emperor and empress?

That is something that is impossible even in dreams!

But...but today, they actually saw it!

The emperor is so majestic! So... tall! I admire him and feel awed at the same time!

After returning, they must show off in front of others!

Yes, yes! Being able to see the emperor and empress so closely in this life is the biggest topic of conversation in their lives. The biggest capital for showing off!

Hearing this, a hint of fear flashed across Xu Yufan's face again.

He had never been so scared even when he was killing someone.

But at this moment, he was extremely confused, his mind was blank, and his face turned pale and blue, and then blue and pale.

"Looking...looking for me?" He swallowed hard, suppressed his fear and panic, and looked at the officers with a confused look on his face, "Brothers, what do you want from me? I...didn't do anything!"

No one agreed with him.

If Ruan Lizi were still alive, she would definitely stand by his side and help him.

But now... no one can help him.

"Mr. Xu, please come with us. We found two bodies. One of them should be Prince Rong. We have sent someone to Prince Rong's mansion to pass on the message."

"For the other one, we confirmed from the letters found on him that his name was Qian Zhang. I heard that Qian Zhang was Master Xu's master, so we would like to ask Master Xu to go and identify the body."

"It just so happens that Princess Rong and the Princess are here too, so we can go together."

"What?!" Xu Chongshan and the old lady were shocked. "Master Qian? Yufan, didn't you say that Master Qian had returned to Wuling? Or did you personally send him back? How...how did he die?"

"This...what is going on? Xu Yufan, are you hiding something from us?!"

These words were said by Xu Chongshan, with a tone that contained obvious questioning and reprimand.

"I...I...don't know!" Xu Yufan looked bewildered, with a flash of guilt and panic in his eyes. "I sent Master away early yesterday morning! I really don't know how he could...could...get into trouble."

"In that case, I would like to go to Jingzhao Yin!" The emperor said coldly, "I want to see who is so bold as to kill an official of the imperial court!"
