"Minister Liang, what's going on?" Mu Yunyu was getting a little impatient waiting. He deliberately avoided Pei Xuan and brought Liang Bo to take over the case.

It was to open the case for investigation as quickly as possible so as to determine the Prime Minister's Office's guilt early, thereby weakening the power behind the Crown Prince.

He promoted Liang Bo to his current position, not to let him come here to do official business.

Liang Bo came out sweating profusely: "Your Highness, Su committed suicide."

Mu Yunyu looked at Liang Bo with satisfaction. It turned out that Liang Bo was indeed a teachable boy. This was enough to convict him.

"However, Your Highness, this is only my experience. We need to wait for the coroner to perform an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death."

Liang Bo felt a little guilty. Although the person in front of him was his real master, Pei Xuan was a pillar of strength and he had to inquire about every case taken over by the Ministry of Justice, so he still had to go through the process carefully.

"It's okay. This prince believes in Minister Liang's ability to solve cases. With this suicide note, the case can be closed."

Mu Yunyu always felt his eyelids twitching violently. He was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so he just wanted to settle the case as soon as possible.

In fact, Aunt Ning was just a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was equivalent to a slave. It was normal for no one to care when a slave died in a wealthy family.

But Mu Peiyao happened to be the prince's concubine, so the nature of the matter was different. Moreover, Su Ning committed suicide and left such a suicide note before doing so.

That’s why this case became a little tricky.

Although this cannot completely shake the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it can dampen the Prime Minister's Mansion's fighting spirit before Mu Peiyun marries into the Eastern Palace, it can also be regarded as a warning to Mu Yunchen.

After all, Mu Yunyu still resented Mu Yunchen because of the fact that Mu Yunchen had advised the emperor to let him and Mu Peiyao get married.

Seeing that Mu Yunyu was in the upper hand and was determined to succeed, Mu Peiyao still felt a dull pain in her heart.

But so what? Aunt Ning gave birth to her but never raised her. She threw her to Mu Qingqing, that woman, and hid in the Buddhist temple.

Aunt Ning, thank you very much, your daughter. You gave me life and helped me one last time before you died.

That day, she finally couldn't stand the feeling of being ignored all day, so she ran to the main hall of Fengyang Palace and waited for a whole day, but she didn't see Mu Yunyu.

When she woke up again, she was lying on the bed. To her surprise, Mu Yunyu was actually guarding her.

For a moment, Mu Peiyao was surprised and happy, but the next second she reached out and touched her belly... Fortunately, the baby was still there.

It was at that time that Mu Peiyao realized that love and children alone were not enough to tie a man down.

She had to be smart and be able to give the Fifth Prince advice and solve his current predicament. This was the only way to make the Fifth Prince keep his attention on her forever.

"The case cannot be closed, Your Highness. As far as I know, the laws of our country are strict. The case has not been thoroughly investigated, the coroner has not performed an autopsy, the case has not been tried in court, and it has not been reviewed by the Minister of Justice. How can the case be closed?"

Mu Peiyun stood up and tried to stop Mu Yunyu from letting Liang Bo close the case hastily. She believed that there would be a turning point, and that if God let her start over again, it would not be in vain.

In the previous life, the Prime Minister's Mansion was framed to death by Mu Yunyu and Mu Peiyao in collusion. In this life, she must not let the Prime Minister's Mansion be wronged again.

My father was such an open-minded man, how could he be branded as someone who forced his concubine to death? My mother was such a generous person, how could she be branded as jealous?

Fortunately, God had a good heart and she finally got the timely rain she had been waiting for.

Seeing Mu Jin in official uniform walking towards her, Mu Peiyun's eyes instantly turned red. Her father was here, their pillar of support was here.

"Your humble servant greets the Fifth Prince." Mu Jin and Pei Xuan bowed to Mu Yunyu at the same time.

Mu Yunyu felt something was wrong. Wasn't Pei Xuan interrogating the prisoners in the dungeon? How could he know so quickly?

Could it be that old guy Mu Jin invited them? Thinking of this, Mu Yunyu carefully looked at the two people in front of him, but he could not see any expression.

"Master Pei is here. When I went to the Ministry of Justice, I only saw Minister Liang, so I asked him to investigate the case.

I haven't sent anyone to inform you yet, so please don't be offended, Master Pei. I understand that you, the Ministry of Justice, have worked so hard and devotedly for my father."

Mu Yunyu had a very good attitude. He neither lowered his own status nor showed any concern for the officials.

Unexpectedly, Pei Xuan just nodded at him, turned around and went into the house to examine the crime scene.

Mu Yunyu was extremely angry, but he couldn't show it. Pei Xuan was well-known for his impartiality and incorruptibility in the court. If this case fell into his hands, he and Yao'er would probably have worked in vain.

Liang Bo also laughed at Mu Yunyu like a lackey, and then hurriedly followed Pei Xuan into the room where Su Ning was poisoned.

"Master, are you okay?" Mu Qingqing saw that Mu Jin's clothes were a little messy. She must have heard about what happened in the mansion and rushed back in a hurry.

Mu Jin looked at Mu Qingqing and shook her head. At that moment when the couple looked at each other, it seemed that nothing mattered anymore. He was safe and she was fine.

Seeing this, Mu Yunyu pretended to be concerned and asked: "This prince didn't know that the Prime Minister was so capable that he even invited the most difficult bone in our Ministry of Justice."

Mu Jin had been an official in the court for many years, so how could she not understand the meaning of his words? However, she still humbly replied: "Your Highness, Lord Pei came here on the emperor's orders, not because I invited him. I just happened to meet him on the way back to the palace and came back together."

Mu Yunyu was shocked. Father's order? Didn't that mean that he didn't bring Pei Xuan here right away?

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyu hurriedly stood up and said, "In this case, I will not disturb Lord Pei from investigating the case and will return to the palace first."

After saying this, he no longer cared about how the case was being investigated inside and walked out of Mujing Pavilion.

Before Mu Peiyao could react, she only saw Mu Yunyu's back, and hurriedly picked up her skirt and followed him out with the support of Xunzhu.

But her belly was so big that it became difficult for her to walk, so she had to chase after him while shouting at Mu Yunyu's back: "Your Highness, please wait for me, wait for Yao'er!"

When Mu Peiyao finally caught up with Mu Yunyu, she saw that Mu Yunyu had a very ugly expression on his face, as if he was being extremely tolerant.

Mu Peiyao asked tentatively, somewhat timidly: "Your Highness...Your Highness, can we still convict them now?"

"Shut up, listen to what you are saying. If this gets out and my father knows about it, how am I going to explain it to him?"

After saying that, Mu Yunyu got on the carriage without looking back. After sitting down, he probably thought that Mu Peiyao was still pregnant with his child, so he pulled open the curtain and stretched out his hand to Mu Peiyao.

Mu Peiyao, who was originally still sad, saw that Mu Yunyu had not forgotten her, and immediately took his hand happily.
