I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

Emperor Mu Wu's face darkened, not because Ning Zhiyi and Xitong said something unfavorable to the third prince, but purely because of the incident itself.

His third prince actually took action against An Xiang, and his target was the An family behind him. It was obvious that he wanted to get help from the An family. So what was his purpose in wanting to get help?

He didn't dare to think about it any further, because the answer to the question was the one he least wanted to see!

Emperor Mu Wu's heart sank to the bottom after taking a soothing look at the An family's three members, father and son.

Lord An looked even more respectful, without the slightest sign of dissatisfaction on his face, but he was not as relaxed as he appeared to be.

No father can allow a jackal to secretly covet his daughter, no matter how noble that jackal is!

The system hasn't finished speaking yet. Today it will completely overturn all of Emperor Mu Wu's knowledge of the Third Prince.

[He is not satisfied with the An family, he also wants the support of the Yue family. Fortunately, Yue Shuyue is smart, and with the help of you, the host, the third prince did not succeed. It is hard for him. He can even come up with the bloody drama of a beautiful woman saving a hero. It is really ridiculous.]

Emperor Mu Wu glanced at the eunuch Quanzhi beside him. The eunuch Quanzhi nodded and quietly retreated.

Many people saw what happened to An Xiang just now and the rescue of the third prince from the lake. It could not be covered up. Eunuch Quanzhi quickly found out what he wanted to know.

After returning to Emperor Mu Wu to report, Lord An saw that the emperor's expression became more and more ugly as Eunuch Quanzhi spoke. He understood that what Xitong said was too simple and did not go into details.

It seems that the emperor has ordered people to investigate the details. I hope these details can completely convict the third prince. I don't ask how the emperor can punish the third prince, but only hope that the third prince will be cautious and give the An family some breathing time.

During this period of time, he will find a good home for Xiang'er at all costs.

Suddenly, the general guarding Shunyang Marquis's Mansion came to the Third Prince's Mansion. The general knelt down before Emperor Mu Wu.

He lowered his voice and said, "I failed to take good care of Jiang Siqi, the daughter of the Jiang family. Please punish her. I have found out that Jiang Siqi is hiding in the Third Prince's residence. Please give me your orders!"

"How could she, a weak little girl, escape from under your noses? She neglected her duty and deserves to be punished!"

"I plead guilty. Please spare my life, Your Majesty. The Jiang family girl escaped from an abandoned dog hole. It was too late when I and others found her. Please give the order, Your Majesty. I will bring people to arrest her right now!"

Ning Zhiyi stared with round eyes. The search of the third prince's mansion was a spur-of-the-moment decision. After she and An Xiang discovered the secret of the gloomy courtyard, she passed the news to Master Guan Sanye.

It seems that the arrival of the general is the follow-up arrangement made by Guan Sanye.

Emperor Mu Wu waved his hand to signal the generals to leave. The concubine selection banquet had not yet ended, and this matter concerned the reputation of the royal family, so the third prince's mansion could not be searched at this time.

The stage has been set, and the system does not want to let it fail, so it speaks in time:

[Host, guess how many corpses can be found in the Third Prince's Mansion? ]

Corpse? King An felt a little uncomfortable after jumping directly onto the corpse. He swallowed the cake he took from Ning Zhiyi's food box and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to eat.

He didn't have such a strong taste, and he could still happily eat pastries while listening to the information about the corpse.

Ning Zhiyi felt hungry again at this moment, so he picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

[There should be many of them. I think there should be at least three to five.]

The other adults watched with their eyes and their noses watched with their noses, but they all disagreed in their hearts. Many things they heard today had overturned the image of the Third Prince in everyone's mind.

Moreover, it was Xitong who specifically asked them to guess the number of corpses. Several people unanimously agreed that the number of corpses in the Third Prince's mansion was definitely not a small number!

System: [Host, did you forget to say "0"? There must be at least thirty or fifty bodies buried under the courtyard.]

"Cough cough" Ning Zhiyi was choked by the pastry.

[What? So many, my god, so many people died! ]

[Host, the thirty or fifty corpses are just the ones buried in that gloomy courtyard. There are also many corpses in the lakes around the Prince's Mansion and in the dry wells in other remote and uninhabited courtyards.]

Although he knew that human life was not valuable in ancient times, Ning Zhiyi still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard such news.

[It's a bit disgusting. With so many deaths, no one is investigating? Even if the servants are harming each other for profit, don't the continuous deaths attract the attention of those with ulterior motives? ]

The system checked again, and after a while said:

[The truth is that no one came to investigate, because most of these people were executed by the Third Prince! A small number died in the disputes over the interests of servants, but because the Third Prince often executed servants, in order to ensure that there was no shortage of servants in the Third Prince's mansion, and to prevent others from discovering this matter.]

[Every month, someone would secretly go to the Third Prince's Mansion to recruit more people, and would also take away those lazy servants. Therefore, the servants only knew that the people around them often disappeared, but they could not be sure whether they were taken away or died.]

Ning Zhiyi: [What a sanctimonious Third Prince. He behaves like a righteous gentleman in front of others, being lenient to others and not harsh to his servants. But when he gets to his own mansion, he takes off all his disguises and turns into a man-eating beast. Who is he trying to show off to by being so good at pretending?]

[I don’t feel tired even if I wear a mask all day! 】

Emperor Mu Wu closed his eyes and ordered in a cold voice: "Go and search, don't miss any place, search you carefully!"

He also wanted to know what his third son was pretending to be!
