The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

After making eye contact with Mu Yan, he gave a faint smile.

This woman was none other than You Hua, the most famous prostitute in the capital. However, what others did not know was that she was also a member of Hua Manlou's secret intelligence organization.

Places like brothels are also the most suitable places to collect intelligence.

Mu Yan asked her to instigate Xian Yuqing to reject his marriage with the Lin family in public, which led to today's drama.

Han Jiuxiao, who was standing by, also noticed the interaction between the two. Even though he was stupid, he knew that what happened today must have been masterminded by Mu Yan.

Ever since his grandfather told him last time that his cousin had led a thousand riders to the border, today's incident made him admire his cousin even more.

After Han Zhen and others entered the restaurant, Bai pushed Han Jiuxiao, who was still stunned.

"Idiot, what are you still standing there for? Go and behave yourself in front of your future father-in-law."

Han Jiuxiao finally came to his senses, quickly agreed, and ran over with a smile on his face.

Bai and Mu Yan looked at each other, and both felt relieved.

Today, Lin Shilou was humiliated by Young Master Xian San in front of so many colleagues, and he was feeling very depressed. Now that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion had appropriately extended an olive branch, he would definitely rush to accept it, so this marriage was basically settled.

However, Mu Yan did not expect that Han Zhen's grandparents and grandchildren would talk with Lin Shilou for so long. It was almost noon, and the door of the private room was not opened. Only the waiter went in a few times to refill the tea.

However, after all, it is a major event between two families, so it is normal for both sides to talk for a longer time.

There was a man outside the room, and it was not convenient for Bai to go in and talk, so she stayed outside to accompany Mu Yanse.

Just when the two were bored, a noisy sound downstairs caught their attention.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you go too late you won't be able to see it."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

I saw many people running in one direction.

Mu Yan's curiosity was aroused, and just as she was about to ask Ling Yu to find out what happened, she heard the people at the next table talking.

"By the way, it seems that today is the day when the prince's favorite concubine is executed."

"Yes, the emperor ordered the execution of the eldest daughter of the Wang family. No wonder everyone went to watch."

"That woman is really vicious and cruel. Not only did she kill someone, she also wanted to frame the Crown Princess, causing her to lose face and hang herself. It would be too easy for her to be executed. I think he should be tortured to death."

"Let's go quickly, or we'll miss it. Waiter, pay the bill."

Mu Yan's hand holding the teacup paused and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

I have been busy with Han Jiuxiao's wedding recently and have long forgotten that today is the day Wang Peiru will be executed.

Originally, when women from the royal family did something wrong or broke the law, the court would usually show leniency and grant them a piece of white silk to keep their bodies intact.

But Wang Peiru's methods were too vicious. Not only did she murder the prince's concubine, but she also murdered the royal heir. More importantly, this incident took place in front of many officials and their wives, bringing shame to the royal family.

Therefore, the emperor personally issued an imperial decree, announcing that she would be beheaded at the Meridian Gate at noon today as a warning to others.

Mu Yan poured the tea in his hand onto the ground, treating it as a way of sending Wang Peiru off with tea instead of wine. After all, her death was more or less related to him, and this cup of tea could settle the cause and effect.

At this time, a young woman downstairs caught Mu Yan's attention. She recognized this person. It was Wang Peiru's half-sister Wang Xinru.

"Madam, you are so kind. The eldest lady has been bullying you since she was a child, and yet you went to see her off for the last time. No one from the Wang family went."

Wang Xinru's personal maid said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Xinru smiled and said, "After all, we are sisters. Seeing what happened to her today, it is only right for me to send her off."

"Then Madam, you must be careful later. You must not let the young lady touch you. You are just pregnant and the fetus is not stable yet. If anything goes wrong, the master will definitely be distressed."

When Wang Xinru heard the maid talking about her husband, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"My husband treats me well, I know that, don't worry, I will be careful."

Only then did Mu Yan remember what Lin Shishi had told her, that the second daughter of the Wang family, who was born out of wedlock, married the second son of the legitimate wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

It is said that this second young master has good character and just passed the imperial examination this autumn. His future is limitless.

This marriage was arranged for her personally by the former Earl of Yongkang. It seems that in this life, Wang Peiru did not marry the prince as a concubine. Instead, Wang Shouyi valued her as a concubine and arranged a good marriage for her.

Mu Yan felt very relieved when looking at Wang Xinru. She didn't expect that after her rebirth, she could inadvertently change the trajectory of other people's lives, and change it for such a good thing. It was finally a good thing.

After Wang Xinru walked away, the tightly closed door finally opened, and Han Jiuxiao strode out with unusually brisk steps.

He excitedly told Mu and his wife that the marriage had been tentatively settled and the next step was to exchange engagement letters and formally discuss the marriage.

Just when everyone was happy, they heard a few loud bells coming from a distance.

clang--

clang--

clang--

When Mu Yan heard the bell, he stood up suddenly. Even Han Zhen and others ran out of the house nervously, all with panicked looks on their faces.

The ringing of three bells means a national mourning. Wang Peiru, a concubine, is not qualified to have the bells ring. This means that something big has happened in the palace. It is likely that a noble person has died in the palace.

Han Zhen and his companions didn't even have time to say hello as they hurriedly walked towards the palace.

For some reason, Mu Yan felt very nervous, as if something big had happened. She did not rest until late at night and kept pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

It was not until midnight that Mu Jun came back from outside, looking tired.

He saw Mu Yan waiting in the courtyard and asked, "Yan'er, why are you still not asleep so late?"

Mu Yan stepped forward and held Mu Jun's arm affectionately. "Seeing that father hasn't returned home so late, I am a little worried. Has something happened in the palace?"

Mu Jun pondered for half a second and said, "The prince is dead."

what?

The prince was under house arrest in the prince's mansion for no reason, how could he just die?

Mu Yan asked doubtfully, "Is there something strange about the prince's death?"

The death of the crown prince is a matter of national mourning and the news should have been announced to the world immediately. Why has there been no news of the crown prince's death for a day?

Just now, she saw Mu Jun's hesitant look on his face, which made her even more certain that there was something strange about the prince's death.

"The prince committed suicide by swallowing gold."

Mu Yan was shocked after hearing this. It was not a shameful thing for the prince to commit suicide and there was no need to hide it. However, the emperor had just issued an edict some time ago, and today Wang Peiru was beheaded in public, and in the end the prince followed suit and committed suicide.

One can't help but suspect that the prince died for love. As the crown prince of a country, he actually sought death for a concubine. He is simply not worthy of being the crown prince.

If this were to get out, people would say that the current emperor is stupid and almost handed the world over to such a person. He is truly unworthy of being a wise ruler.
