"This plan has failed." Mu Yunyu looked up at the roof of the car, his tone quite sad and helpless.

Why was it that from childhood to adulthood, he never got what he wanted, and there were always various obstacles in everything he wanted to do? Just when the case was about to be settled, he didn't expect Pei Xuan to come at the critical moment.

Mu Peiyao's face suddenly changed. What does "wasted" mean? Did Aunt Ning die in vain?

It was she who suggested this plan to His Highness, so how could it be abandoned?

"Are you sure there are no mistakes in your imitation of Su's calligraphy?" Mu Yunyu was still a little worried. If it was ruined, it would be ruined, but he must not trace it back to them.

"Your Highness, why don't you believe Yao'er? Yao'er can write the characters of people all over the world, you know that."

Mu Peiyao put away the slight bit of heartache she felt for Suning and made a righteous reassurance to Mu Yunyu.

Since she was married to Mu Yunyu, she had to think about herself and her husband all the time. As for her aunt, she should give everything for her.

But Mu Peiyao thought that Su Ning died because Mu Yunyu persuaded her and Su Ning was willing to help them, so she drank the bowl of poison. Little did she know...

"It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to be cautious." After saying this, Mu Yunyu closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Liang Bo followed Pei Xuan in fear, fearing that if he did something that displeased him, he would write a report and report it to the emperor.

"Why did they send people to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Pei Xuan asked, while carefully observing the surroundings of the room.

"Your Excellency, I...I am following the order of the Fifth Prince to temporarily surround the Prime Minister's Residence to prevent the bad guys from escaping."

Liang Bo originally thought that he would be reprimanded by Pei Xuan for saying this, but unexpectedly, he was praised.

"Well done." Pei Xuan was not speaking nonsense. The Ministry of Justice had to consider all aspects when investigating a case, so as not to let the murderer escape.

Liang Bo was feeling proud, but the next second——

"However, Sir Liang must remember that our Ministry of Justice is loyal to the Emperor and the people of the entire Mu Kingdom, not to any particular prince."

"Yes, yes, yes." Liang Bo could only nod in agreement behind him. Mu Yunyu might have regretted why he promoted such a timid person.

But the more timid a person is, the more weaknesses he has and the easier he is to control.

"Let me see Su's last letter." Pei Xuan picked up the medicine bowl with one hand and smelled it, while reaching behind him with the other hand.

Liang Bo frantically searched himself for a long time before he suddenly remembered that the letter was in the hands of the Fifth Prince.

"How can the relevant evidence of the case be handed over to others at will?" Pei Xuan said coldly.

Liang Bo immediately ran out, hoping to catch up with the fifth prince's carriage and get the letter back in time.

Seeing Pei Xuan coming out with a serious face, Mu Jin stepped forward and asked, "Master Pei, did Su commit suicide?"

"Prime Minister Mu, the Ministry of Justice only reports cases to the emperor. Moreover, this is a murder case in your house, so I should not disclose it to you."

Hibiscus: ...He is indeed impartial and just.

"Come here, carry Su's body back to the Ministry of Justice."

"You guys, guard the crime scene well, and don't let even a fly in."

Pei Xuan gave instructions with an expressionless face throughout the process, and only paid attention to Mu Jin at the end, and symbolically instructed: "Prime Minister Mu, the case has not been settled yet, and your family is still the most suspicious.

I will send a few people to inspect the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please, you, your wife, and Princess Qingning, stay in the mansion these days and cooperate with the Ministry of Justice in investigating the case. Do not move around recklessly."

"Of course. Thank you for your hard work, Lord Pei." Mu Jin nodded slightly in response.

Soon, the sky darkened and the Prime Minister's Mansion was filled with an unusual silence.

Sujiu trembled and pulled the quilt, and whispered: "Su...Suniang, will we really not be discovered like this?"

Su Niang looked around and replied with some self-doubt: "It's so late, as long as the master and the mistress don't come to Qingyu Pavilion, we shouldn't be discovered."

Sujiu felt like crying but had no tears. His forehead was almost sweating and he didn't know how long it would take for the young lady to come back.

On the street, Mu Peiyun was dressed in casual clothes and covered his face as he walked quickly towards the north.

According to her memories from her previous life, she remembered that there was a rouge and powder shop called Yao Zhixue in the north of the city.

On the surface, it is the largest rouge shop in the capital, but in fact, behind it is the largest trading place in the world, Bi Ming Tang.

Bi Ming Tang, as the name suggests, has a high-sounding name on the outside, but is actually involved in both the black and white worlds, and its branches are even spread all over the country of Mu.

Whether you are committing murder or arson, buying and selling information, conducting overseas transactions, or needing precious medicinal materials or even personal guards, as long as you have money, there is nothing that Bi Ming Tang cannot do.

In the previous life, Mu Peiyun also accidentally heard Bi Qi mention such an organization when talking to Mu Yunchen, and the organization’s headquarters was in the capital.

The reason she came here today was to find a personal bodyguard. If she wanted to enter the morgue of the Ministry of Justice, she needed someone with great martial arts skills to help her.

"My fellow branch masters, my master has something important to attend to today and cannot leave, so he has temporarily sent me here to discuss matters with you..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Before Bi Shiqi finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, which instantly alerted everyone.

When the door slowly opened, a graceful yet charming woman appeared in front of Mu Peiyun. She looked at her with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, the shop is closed."

"I'm not here to buy rouge and powder, I want to make a deal with your store." Mu Peiyun curved her eyebrows. Yaozhixue was closed, but Bimingtang was not.

"Miss, I don't know what you are talking about. If you want to buy rouge, please come back tomorrow morning."

"Wait." Mu Peiyun stepped forward to hold the door that was about to close and continued, "The transaction I want to make with your store can only be done at night. I can't wait until dawn."

Of course, transactions during the day are visible, but transactions at night are hard to say.

"A Zi." Seeing that the person was not coming back for a long time, Bi Shiqi called out tentatively.

"Okay, I'm coming." Zi Yi looked at Mu Peiyun, hesitated for a while and said, "Wait a moment, girl."

Then he closed the door and returned to the inner hall.

"Brother Seventeen, there is a girl outside who said she wants to make a deal with us."

"Do now what you did in the past when I was not around." Bi Shiqi felt a little puzzled that such a small matter had delayed him outside for so long.

Zi Yi nodded half-understandingly. In the past? Bi Ming Tang never accepted orders from people with unknown identities. In the past, when they encountered masked people like this, they would just drive them away.

Thinking about it, Zi Yi went back and opened the door. Bi Shiqi was a little worried, so she followed Zi Yi. Before she showed up, she heard a familiar voice.

"How about this deal from me?"

Bi Shiqi was surprised, why was it her?

Zi Yi was about to open her mouth to scold the person but was stopped by Bi Shiqi.

"Wait." Zi Yi turned around with a puzzled look on her face, and saw that Brother Seventeen was now masked.
