However, he couldn't bear to let Qingning go to the Ministry of Justice!

Places like the Ministry of Justice Prison are dark and damp, and hold all kinds of prisoners.

There are thousands of torture instruments.

Qingning is still pregnant now, how can we let her go to such a place?

"Qingning, it's not necessary. Just stay at home and I will find a way to protect you."

"Your Highness, only if I go can Mu Yunyu let down his guard. Mu Yunyu is too arrogant and conceited, which is a strength, but it can also be a handle to bring him down.

I know that you are concerned about the overall situation and have the people of the world in your heart. If Mu Yunyu is not eliminated, he will sooner or later become a hidden danger.

But the forces in the court are intertwined, and now His Highness and Mu Yunyu have made it clear that since they cannot hit him in one blow, they will have to remove his minions step by step."

Mu Yunchen always felt that Qingning's eyes revealed coldness and extreme hatred when he mentioned his fifth brother Mu Yunyu.

But when you think about it carefully, apart from Mu Yunyu instigating her to reject his engagement, there seems to be nothing else between Qingning and Mu Yunyu.

Why does Qingning have such a strong hatred?

Could it be his illusion?

Mu Yunchen wanted to say something else, but Pei Xuan and the prefect who were waiting in the courtyard had already come in.

"Your Highness, I am about to take the Crown Princess away. Please do not stop me from handling the case."

Although Mu Yunchen was angry, he admired Pei Xuan's courage and spirit in not fearing power.

The prefect standing next to him was shaking with fear, and from time to time he looked up to steal a glance at Mu Yunchen's expression.

Mu Peiyun didn't want to embarrass Pei Xuan, and even more so, didn't want to embarrass Mu Yunchen.

She didn't leave earlier just to wait for Mu Yunchen to come back and talk to him.

Now, it's time to leave.

Mu Yunchen subconsciously grabbed Mu Peiyun's hand, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

He knew early on that the path he chose would be full of thorns and bumps.

But he never regretted it. When he was a child, he saw Mu Yunyu order the execution of everyone in the palace because his pet died of illness.

At that time, he made up his mind that no matter who was the crown prince, Mu Yunyu would not have the possibility of succeeding to the throne.

Afterwards, he learned how to please his father and attract his attention. In addition, his mother was the mistress of the Central Palace, so he naturally became the crown prince.

But if he takes this path, the people he loves and the people who love him will be hurt, and he will be in great pain.

Today, Mu Yunchen suddenly began to doubt himself, wondering whether this choice was right or not.

"Qingning..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who usually lives a life of luxury and is able to make strategic plans, is now like a puppy drenched in the rain, abandoned. He clutches Mu Peiyun's hand reluctantly, with a very depressed look in his eyes.

Mu Peiyun turned around and nodded towards Mu Yunchen, pulled her hand out, and then raised the corner of her mouth.

"Your Highness, I'll wait for you to take me home."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Looking at Mu Peiyun's back as she was about to step out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Mu Yunchen clenched his fists so hard that they made crisp sounds, and his previous dejected look was completely gone.

At this moment, his whole body was emitting a chill. His eyes narrowed and he shouted to Pei Xuan in a cold voice: "Minister Pei, I hope that until there is concrete evidence to prove that my Crown Princess took human life, my Crown Princess is safe and sound in your Ministry of Justice."

Pei Xuan was not afraid of Mu Yunchen's coldness. He gave a few instructions to the prefect, asking him to take Mu Peiyun away first and he would follow.

Then he came to Mu Yunchen and bowed: "Your Highness, dozens of family members have sued the Crown Prince's Mansion for killing their family members. Why do you believe that the Crown Princess was wronged?"

"Master Pei, please don't tell me about this strange incident. Can't you see it?"

Mu Yunchen glanced at Pei Xuan. Although he knew that he was one of the few loyal ministers in the court, it was he who was going to take Qingning to the Ministry of Justice. How could he not feel any emotion!

Pei Xuan continued calmly, "Your Highness, it doesn't matter whether you can see it or not. Whether there is something fishy or not, I only believe in evidence."

Mu Yunchen shook his sleeves, snorted coldly, turned his head away and stopped looking at Pei Xuan: "Then please wait, Master Pei, I will send the evidence to the Ministry of Justice."

"Your Highness, the investigation is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. Your Highness can just wait in the palace."

court death!

Mu Yunchen turned his head and stared at Pei Xuan, which clearly meant that he should not interfere in this matter.

Oh, it seems that he will have to take the Ministry of Justice into his pocket soon.

"Okay, then I will wait for news from Master Pei."

Mu Yunchen's eyes seemed to be staring a hole through Pei Xuan. The air was silent for a few seconds and no one spoke.

In the end, it was Mu Yunchen who spoke, but he was trying to drive the person away.

"Since Master Pei still has things to do, I will not keep you here."

"Bi Qi, show the guests out!"

Pei Xuan stood straight with his back erect and exuded a sense of justice. It was not until he left the Prince's Mansion that he felt some sweat on his forehead.

After Pei Xuan left, Mu Yunchen went to Biming Hall through the secret passage in the study, and then went into the palace again. Not long after, he left the palace with an imperial edict and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

At the Prince's Mansion, Mu Yunyu was filled with anger. He finally returned to the mansion, but Ao Zhishan was already waiting there.

Seeing Mu Yunyu coming back, Ao Zhishan immediately gave him a flattering smile.

"Your Highness, I have taken care of the small matter for you. Look at this...silver...when will you..."

Ao Zhishan said this while rubbing his hands.

Mu Yunyu smiled contemptuously, then sat down and pointed at Ao Zhishan, motioning him to sit in the seat next to him.

Although Ao Zhishan was greedy, he also knew his place. How could a mere general guarding the palace gate like him sit on the chair in the prince's mansion?

I'm afraid that if I sit down like this, I'll be doomed.

If Mei'er and Xiao Doubao had not unfortunately fallen into the hands of Prince He, no matter how greedy he was, he would never have been willing to get involved in this matter.

Now he just wanted to take the silver quickly, take Xiao Doubao and Mei'er back, and put an end to the matter.

Seeing that the purpose of his visit was so obvious, Mu Yunyu did not delay. Yuwen Yuchao happened to walk in from outside at this time, so Mu Yunyu asked Yuwen Yuchao to go to the warehouse to get the silver.

Soon, Yuwen Yuchao came in carrying an exquisite box. When he opened it, a large stack of silver bills was revealed, which almost blinded Ao Zhishan's eyes.

Mu Yunyu felt disgusted when he saw Ao Zhishan's unpresentable appearance.

However, he had a kind smile on his face, pointed at the box and said to Ao Zhishan: "General Ao, these... are all yours."

Ao Zhishan even pretended to push it a few times, and when Yuwen Yuchao was about to take it back, he quickly took it and held it in his arms, muttering: "How can I be so embarrassed? Thank you, my lord and princess."
