The soft and sticky crown princess is reborn and throws herself into the arms of the crown prince
Chapter 45 Willing to Accept Punishment
Mu Peiyun suddenly sneered: "So what? Mu Peiyao, don't forget that I am the Princess Qingning appointed by the Emperor, the future Crown Princess. How can I teach my sister, or sister-in-law? Who dares to say anything bad about me?"
"You..." Mu Peiyao was at a disadvantage and changed the topic to Aunt Ning's death.
"When I got married, Aunt Ning was fine. It must be you who made things difficult for her after I got married, which is why she couldn't stand your torture and chose to commit suicide by taking poison. How could you be so cruel, wuwu~"
Mu Peiyao said this, pointing at the overturned bowl beside her. The maid kept wiping the tears from her face, and actually soaked two handkerchiefs.
Looking in the direction Mu Peiyao pointed, Mu Qingqing and Mu Peiyun saw the bowl that had rolled under the stool and turned over on the ground.
It does look like he committed suicide by taking poison, but these are just speculations.
"Mother Liu, go to the government office and report to the authorities immediately. Tell them that a murder has occurred in the Prime Minister's residence."
After giving the order, Mu Qingqing turned around and said to Mu Peiyao, "Please show me the letter left by Aunt Ning."
"Mother, do you want to destroy the evidence?" Mu Peiyao pressed the letter on the table with her backhand and looked at Mu Qingqing with hatred, as if Mu Qingqing was the murderer who forced Su Ning to death.
Mu Peiyun was just about to speak when she saw Mother Liu, who had been out for a short while, jogging back.
"Madam, there are many soldiers outside the gate, and they have surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Mu Qingqing and Mu Peiyun looked at each other, and Mu Peiyun realized it belatedly and said to Mu Peiyao: "You didn't intend for us to report to the police from the beginning."
Mu Peiyun suddenly felt a little flustered. This was a trap, a deliberate design.
The purpose is to make the father bear the infamy of forcing the concubine to death, and to make the mother bear the infamy of being jealous and intolerant of concubines.
This matter could be a big deal or a small one. If Mu Peiyao insists on making a fuss and reports it to the government office, it is possible that his father will be demoted and his mother will be sent back to the Regent's Palace.
But now, the people surrounding the Prime Minister's Mansion outside are obviously not from the government office. The situation is unclear and unfavorable.
She should have been alert earlier. How could she be so stupid as to put her father and mother into such a situation?
Mu Peiyun forced himself to calm down and think about what was wrong with the whole matter from beginning to end.
"How dare you bring people to surround the residence of an official appointed by the imperial court at will." Mu Peiyun thought that she would delay them as long as possible so that she would have time to think of a countermeasure.
"This prince has already asked for instructions from his father. A murder has occurred in the Prime Minister's residence. All of you are temporarily staying in the residence and are not allowed to go out. We can make plans after the Ministry of Justice comes to inspect the scene."
Before seeing the person, I heard his voice first, and Mu Yunyu slowly walked outside.
When Mu Peiyao heard Mu Yunyu's voice, she immediately started pretending again. She stood up very weakly, as if she was about to faint at any time.
Mu Yunyu hurriedly hugged her into his arms and said with concern: "Yao'er, don't be too sad. You are pregnant with our child. The imperial physician said that you should avoid extreme joy or sorrow."
Speaking of which, Mu Yunyu originally wanted to leave Mu Peiyao in the palace, but one day she actually stood in the main hall of Fengyang Palace waiting for him for a whole day just to see him.
When he came back, he saw Mu Peiyao lying on the ground. He called the imperial physician to take a look and found that she had a miscarriage.
From then on, Mu Yunyu treated Mu Peiyao like a treasure, fearing that she would get hurt.
"Madam Prime Minister, Princess Qingning, please cooperate with the Ministry of Justice in investigating this case."
Mu Peiyun had no choice but to sit aside, feeling uneasy. Is there no solution to this situation?
After being reborn, is there still no way for her to make her father and mother live a peaceful and happy life?
"Sir, can you confirm that Aunt Ning was poisoned and died from drinking the contents of this bowl?"
Mu Peiyun felt uneasy, but still couldn't help but stand up and ask.
But he was held down by the bailiffs behind him.
"The Emperor only said that we would be placed under house arrest in the Prime Minister's Residence, but he did not convict us. Who gave you the courage to treat this princess like this?"
As Mu Peiyun spoke, she turned around and glared at the bailiff coldly. She suddenly felt that her identity as a princess was much more useful than that of the daughter of the prime minister.
The bailiff glanced at Mu Yunyu and got instructions before letting Mu Peiyun go.
As soon as he was released, Mu Peiyun wanted to go forward to check, but was stopped by the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
"Princess, the Ministry of Justice has its own rules for handling cases. Please stay still and don't destroy the evidence."
"you--"
It seems that this assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice is probably Mu Yunyu's man, so this is a dead end?
Although Mu Peiyun was angry, he was powerless for the moment and could only sit back and wait anxiously. The time passed by every minute and every second, which was very torturous.
Mu Yunxu waited at the palace gate for a long time, his feet almost stomped holes in the floor, but Mu Yunchen didn't come back.
Brother Crown Prince, if you don’t come back, you will lose your future Crown Princess. It’s too bad that you can’t find anyone at the critical moment.
Finally, as soon as Mu Yunchen arrived at the palace gate on horseback, he was pulled down by Mu Yunxu.
"Brother Crown Prince, you are finally back."
"What's the matter?" Mu Yunchen thought it was just a child who couldn't find him and started to make a fuss, so he asked casually.
But Mu Yunxu's next words made him panic instantly.
"The Fifth Emperor's wife, Concubine Ning, was found dead in the mansion today, poisoned. She left behind a suicide note, saying that the Prime Minister's Mansion could not tolerate her, and she was forced into a desperate situation.
Now, my fifth brother has asked for my father's oral order and has surrounded the Prime Minister's residence with people from the Ministry of Justice. I'm afraid the Prime Minister's family will be charged with forcing the concubine to death."
After hearing this, Mu Yunchen immediately jumped back on his horse, tightened the reins, and turned back to ask, "Who did Mu Yunyu bring with him from the Ministry of Justice?"
Mu Yunxu's eyes flickered, and after careful recollection he said, "Liang Bo, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yunchen rode into the palace on horseback.
Only Mu Yunxu, who was watching in amazement, shouted at Mu Yunchen's back: "Crown Prince, isn't riding a horse prohibited in the palace?"
The figure was getting farther and farther away, and Mu Yunxu felt as if these words were spoken to himself.
However, no matter what, he finally helped his brother the Crown Prince today.
Mu Yunchen's horse was stopped when entering Xuanzheng Gate. When he hurried to the imperial study, the emperor was shocked.
"I can't hold my breath. I heard that you rode into the palace on horseback?"
"I know I was wrong, but..." He was interrupted.
"Why don't I know that I can just ride into the palace and say I admit my mistakes and then I can pick it up high and put it down lightly?"
"Father, I don't know why the Ministry of Justice only sent a small assistant minister to investigate the case of a first-rank minister of our dynasty."
Mu Yunchen was determined to support Mu Peiyun.
"I clearly..." I clearly wanted the Fifth Prince to take Pei Xuan with him. The Emperor said halfway before he realized what he had said and almost let him get away with it again.
The prince has been too presumptuous lately, and he needs to curb his temper.
"I have my own arrangements for the Ministry of Justice. Don't meddle in my business. I'm asking you now, what will happen if you ignore the palace rules?"
Mu Yunchen still spoke earnestly: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I am willing to accept the punishment, but Prime Minister Mu..."
