The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

The reason why she asked this was because even he suspected that there was something fishy about the cause of Mo Yanli's death, so how could the suspicious Emperor Qi not think of this?

Moreover, although the prince's death did tend to be suicide by swallowing gold, there was no shortage of skilled doctors in the palace. If they examined carefully, although they would not be able to definitively find out that Mo Yanli died from the Western Region Hundred Flowers Powder, they would be able to find some clues.

However, the imperial physician quickly concluded that the prince had died from swallowing gold, which is thought-provoking.

The crown prince is the heir to the throne. The only reason the imperial physician dared not reveal the true cause of death was probably with the instruction of the current emperor.

Mo Yuche would not have failed to think of this. He brought me here secretly tonight not only to find out the cause of the prince's death, but also because he had already expected that the prince's death was related to Mo Xingchen, and he brought me here to verify his guess.

After Mo Yuche was exposed, there was no trace of embarrassment on his calm face. He only curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said lightly: "I still can't hide it from you."

He had smelled this familiar scent beside the prince's coffin during the day. Although the fragrance was masked by the smell of decay, he had almost lost his life to this poison before, so he was very sensitive to this scent.

The imperial doctors in the palace are all the emperor's men, so it is impossible for him to ask them. Mu Yan knows about this poison, so it would be best to bring her here.

"Now that you've confirmed it, what are you going to do next?"

Mu Yan was not angry at all about Mo Yuche using her. Instead, she felt a little happy inside.

Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the person Mo Xingchen has offended now is King Han, who is very prestigious in the army and among the people. This is a huge obstacle to his future path to becoming an emperor.

What's more, Mo Xingchen's current identity is still doubtful. Although Prince Han does not participate in the fight for the throne among the princes, he has the blood of the Mo family flowing in his body, and he will never allow others to mess up the Mo family's bloodline.

Therefore, Mo Yuche will definitely hinder him on his way to becoming the crown prince, which is a great thing for him.

Mo Yuche raised his eyelids, as if he had known that Mu Yan would ask this question, "The evidence is not sufficient at the moment, and the emperor doesn't want to make a big deal out of this matter..."

Mu Yan's mood suddenly calmed down after hearing this. Indeed, if the emperor wanted to thoroughly investigate the cause of the prince's death, he would make a big deal about this matter during the day.

Therefore, even if the emperor knew that there was doubt about the prince's death, he would only suppress the matter. After all, the death of the prince would be in the greatest benefit to King Xuan.

If the prince was murdered, then King Xuan would be the biggest suspect.

King Xuan had always been his most beloved child and the best candidate for the crown prince in his mind. However, because the crown prince was the eldest son and grandson, and had the support of some very traditional old ministers in the court, he had been reluctant to depose the crown prince.

Therefore, even if it was for the sake of protecting King Xuan, he would certainly not allow anyone to make a big deal out of this matter.

Moreover, Mo Xingchen has always behaved like a leisurely prince, so no one would associate the prince's death with him.

Just as Mu Yan was thinking about how to prevent Mo Xingchen from escaping this disaster, she heard Mo Yuche say, "But I will never let him turn the page so easily. Even if the emperor doesn't want to investigate this matter thoroughly, he must plant a seed of doubt in his heart."

Mu Yan thought for a moment and felt that what Mo Yuche said was absolutely right.

Kings have always been suspicious since ancient times. As long as the seed of doubt can be planted in the heart of Emperor Qi, he will not believe that Mo Xingchen is just a simple idle prince, and will always be on guard against him, or even suppress him.

This would buy Mo Yuche some time, allowing him to investigate Mo Xingchen's background.

"how do you want to do it?"

Mo Yuche did not answer, but asked tentatively: "I heard that the residence of the Minister of Justice was robbed some time ago, and it seems that two very important account books were lost. The day after the account books were lost, King Xuan was very angry. Is this account book related to the prince?"

Mu Yan's eyes were heavy. It seemed that this was Mo Yuche's main purpose today. "It is said that King Han has many spies. I didn't believe it at first. You are right. Now the two account books are here with me."

The two discussed together for a long time before Mu Yan decided to hand over the hidden account book to Mo Yuche.

A few days later, one of the account books was handed over to Emperor Qi by King Wei Mo Xingchen in the court.

As for why they ended up in his hands, it was naturally because Mo Yuche and Mu Yan had discussed a foolproof plan, and then the two account books were naturally handed over to Mo Xingchen.

The reason why Mo Xingchen only gave one copy to Emperor Qi was because the prince had just died. If he handed over the account book about him at this time, it would give people a chance to think that he was disrespectful to his elders.

So he had no choice but to hand over another account book that recorded other officials' bribery in buying and selling official positions.

The reason why he was so anxious was that after the death of the crown prince, the throne became vacant, and the emperor had originally favored Prince Xuan. He did this to get the emperor's attention.

As long as the Emperor of Qi discovered that he had talent, he would not be so anxious to make Prince Xuan the crown prince, and he would have more time to accumulate strength.

However, he did not expect that his impatience would make the Emperor of Qi more suspicious, and would also make King Xuan notice that this seemingly idle younger brother was not as simple as he seemed.

Qiyun Pavilion.

"How can you be sure that Mo Xingchen will be eager to hand this account book to Emperor Qi?"

Mu Yan said to the shadow on the tree.

The man wrapped in the shadow raised his thin lips and said, "Could it be that Mo Xingchen could not think of the consequences of this matter? However, this matter has more advantages than disadvantages for him, because once the emperor appoints Prince Xuan as the crown prince, it will greatly increase Prince Xuan's power, and it will be even more difficult for him to seize the crown prince at that time.

Although this matter would arouse the emperor's suspicion, given his cautious character, he would definitely reconsider the issue of establishing a crown prince, which would also give him time to strengthen his power.

So although this move is risky, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and he will definitely do it."

But what Mo Yuche hasn’t said is that in the short term, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but in the long term, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

After all, planting the seeds of doubt in the heart of a suspicious emperor was like a time bomb.

Seeing that Mu Yan didn't say anything, Mo Yuche asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Mu Yan frowned, "I'm thinking about the Lin family. Lin Shilou was arrested in court and his official hat was taken off. The Lin family is already anxious like ants on a hot pot. Shishi is engaged to the Han family, so she can stay out of it, but what should we do with Madam Lin at her age? It is said that Madam Lin has fallen ill."
