"Your Highness, Bi Ming Tang has received an order tonight, and the client is the future Crown Princess." After Bi Shiqi discussed the matter with the heads of various branch halls, he hurried back to the palace to report the matter to Mu Yunchen.

"What! Hiss——" Mu Yunchen was a little surprised and forgot about the wound on his butt. He tried to sit up and pulled the wound unconsciously.

This was probably the first time in the world that a prince was beaten with a stick outside the imperial study.

As the saying goes, if a prince breaks the law, he shall be punished just like the common people. Mu Yunchen was willing to take the fifty lashes of the cane. Fortunately, Pei Xuan arrived in time. With Pei Xuan's presence, the Prime Minister's Mansion would not let Mu Yunyu suffer injustice.

But how could she, a girl from the boudoir, know that Yao Zhixue was Bi Ming Tang? And why did she want to get involved in this world?

"Your Highness, please be careful about your injuries." Bi Qi felt distressed and worried. Although His Highness had forgotten about Miss Mu, he still suffered all the pain because of Miss Mu.

If it wasn't for saving the Prime Minister's Mansion, why would His Highness disregard the palace rules and regulations and ride into the palace on horseback? This angered the Emperor, who punished him with fifty lashes of the cane.

Although His Highness is strong and healthy and has never slacked off in his martial arts training, these fifty strokes of the cane are nothing to him. But who would be willing to get injured for no reason and lie in bed for days without being able to get up?

"What kind of deal did she make with Bi Ming Tang?"

Bi Shiqi met her master's gaze, hurriedly bowed her hands, lowered her head and replied: "Your Highness, Miss Mu asked Bi Mingtang for a personal guard with solid Qinggong skills. Six hours will be enough."

"What does she want to do?" Mu Yunchen suddenly felt a little regretful. He had been trying to show off in the imperial study today, otherwise he could have taken Mu Peiyun's order personally.

He wanted to see how many surprises this future Crown Princess had that he didn't know about.

"I sent Ziyi there, and she told me that Miss Mu went to the morgue of the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case of the sudden death of the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It has been found that the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion died of poisoning, but it was not suicide. The cause of death was a steel needle piercing the Tianzong point at the back of the skull, and the method was undoubtedly done by the poison boy. "

After hearing this, Mu Yunchen frowned slightly. The poisonous child appeared? He ordered Bi Ming Tang to search for the poisonous child for many days without success, and now he appeared in the capital.

But why did he target the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as he appeared? Is he related to Aunt Ning in some way?

"Have you ever told Miss Mu about the poison baby?"

Bi Shiqi hurriedly shook his head and denied: "No, Bi Ming Tang always only cares about what the trading party wants, and ignores everything else."

Therefore, from beginning to end, Zi Yi never told Mu Peiyun that the method of poisoning the back of Suning's head came from Wenren Yingshan, who was well-known in the martial arts world.

Mu Yunchen waved his hand and sent Bi Shiqi away. He thought carefully in his heart that it was better if she didn't know all this. With that little bit of evidence, the Prime Minister's Mansion could be cleared of suspicion.

As for who killed Aunt Ning and who forged the suicide note, these were things that Pei Xuan should worry about. In short, the Prime Minister's Mansion was fine.

As Mu Yunchen had guessed, Pei Xuan withdrew the guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion the next day and reported everything to the Emperor, and the case was settled.

In the end, they just found a scapegoat, who was just a concubine. Who would care how she died? Even if the Ministry of Justice handled the case personally, it was just a perfunctory deal.

"Hmph, the Prime Minister's Mansion actually got through this disaster unscathed." Mu Yunyu returned to Fengyang Palace in a rage. He slammed his hands on the table in anger, scaring the servants and eunuchs serving around him to kneel down one after another.

The other palace servants were unaware of the truth. Everyone envied Fengyang Palace for having a master who was humble. But only they themselves knew that once they entered Fengyang Palace to serve, their life and death would be uncertain.

"Liang Bo is such a loser, he is so useless."

Yu Yi frowned slightly and said behind Mu Yunyu: "Your Highness, please calm down. Do you want me to deal with him?"

Mu Yunyu took a deep breath and said, "No, let's keep him alive for now."

"Although we failed to cause any damage to the Prime Minister's Mansion, fortunately we are not unscathed." Mu Peiyao supported her waist with one hand and her belly with the other as she slowly walked out the door.

These days, without the disturbance of Concubine Shu, Mu Yunyu also exempted her from the ceremony. Although Mu Peiyao's mother had died, she did not show any sadness at all.

Seeing her come in, Mu Yunyu fluttered his eyelashes slightly and looked up: "Yao'er, why are you here? You don't stay in the palace to rest well, but always come out to make me worry."

Mu Peiyao glanced at Yu Yi, who immediately understood and stepped back. Mu Peiyao then met Mu Yunyu's gaze with a smile and walked over slowly.

"The imperial physician said that Yao'er is pregnant with a prince. If Yao'er is allowed to move around properly, she will suffer less pain during the birth."

As he was talking, Mu Peiyao suddenly covered her mouth and cried out, which frightened Mu Yunyu so much that he looked worried. "Your Highness, look, he's kicking me."

Mu Yunyu really understood and put his ear against Mu Peiyao's abdomen, as if a child really kicked him, and both of them had bright smiles on their faces.

At this moment, Mu Yunyu suddenly felt a little guilty. Although Yao'er's status and position were not superior, she gave birth to children for him, suffered humiliation and scolding, and in the end she only became a concubine. It was a bit unfair.

"Yao'er, Aunt Ning died, but I was unable to use this as an excuse to convict the Prime Minister's Mansion. I am sorry for you."

"What are you talking about, Brother Yu? For you, let alone the death of an aunt, it means that if you want Yao'er's life, Yao'er is willing to give it to you."

As they spoke, the two looked into each other's eyes with deep affection. Mu Yunyu held Mu Peiyao's hands tightly, wanting to hold her in his hands as if she were a treasure.

As soon as Concubine Shu came in, she saw this disgusting scene and was furious. She welcomed this witch into the palace without any courtesy at all, and even took advantage of her pregnancy to coax Yu'er into skipping her morning and evening visits.

Not only did she fail to give Yu'er any help in major matters, but she also used seductive tactics all day long, shamelessly seducing Yu'er to have fun every night, not afraid of hurting her grandson.

"Cough cough...hmm." Concubine Shu deliberately slowed down her pace and coughed twice to remind the two.

Hearing the voice, Mu Yunyu and Mu Peiyao quickly let go of each other's hands and turned around to salute.

"Mother, how come you have time to come here?"

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Your Majesty Shufei."

Shufei didn't take Mu Peiyao seriously at all, and even didn't allow her to call her mother. She just walked straight over. There was a hint of smile on her face only when she looked at Mu Yunyu.

"Forget about the morning and evening visits. If I want to see you, I have to come myself."

Mu Yunyu felt a little embarrassed. This ritual couldn't be abolished, but seeing how hard Yao'er was going through during her pregnancy, and seeing her sleeping with him that day... he felt soft-hearted and agreed.

"Mother, my mother passed away yesterday. Please stop picking on her."

Concubine Shu was shocked. Wasn't the prime minister's wife fine? When did she die? Why didn't anyone in the palace inform her?

"What? The Prime Minister's wife is gone?"
