Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

The chief eunuch hurried over to report: "Your Majesty, the eunuch has revealed the person behind the incident after being tortured!"

The second prince subconsciously slowed down his breathing, but his expression remained calm, as if the eunuch was not his subordinate.

Relax, that man won't expose him, the eunuch's family is still in his hands!

Mu Tangxi also looked over curiously. Would the eunuch finally insist that Ji Qichen was the one who did it?

Who would believe this fake answer?

Ji Qichen drank the tea slowly. The osmanthus cake he had just eaten was still a bit dry.

The emperor looked over with sharp eyes, "Who is it?!"

The Queen also cast her eyes over. Just don't tell her that he's the Third Prince.

The chief eunuch said nervously, "Yes, it was the Prime Minister. After being tortured, the eunuch said it was the Prime Minister. Then he hit his head against the wall and committed suicide. Before he died, he was still mumbling that he felt guilty towards the Prime Minister, so he wanted to die to apologize!"

After hearing this, the Second Prince felt much more relaxed, and the corners of his eyes slightly raised.

This eunuch is a good person and he will treat the eunuch's family well.

The emperor's first reaction was that this answer was relatively easier to accept than the answer that the murderer was the third prince.

The queen also breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. At least it wasn't the Third Prince who gave the wrong answer at first glance.

Mu Tangxi:?

Although it was surprising that the assassination of the prince was framed on my father, this might not be a bad thing, right?

The emperor felt that this answer was not that accurate. The prime minister had just had his tendons cut by criminals, so how could he have the time to assassinate the prince?

If it really was the prime minister, he would have to admire the prime minister for enduring the pain of having his tendons cut to plan all these things.

And why would the prime minister assassinate the prince?

The prime minister has no leverage over the prince.

Both the emperor and the empress noticed that Mu Tangxi, who had just defended the third prince, was now silent.

They looked over, and Mu Tangxi spoke up: "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly. Father would never get involved in the assassination of the crown prince!"

The emperor was about to ask someone to summon the prime minister for an audience, but then he remembered that the prime minister could not leave his bed at all, and he did not know what to say for a moment.

Mu Tangxi suggested at the right time: "Why not let Big Brother come over."

The lowered head hides the smile in the eyes. I wonder if my brother will be scared?

The emperor thought about it and said, "Then let the prime minister's eldest son enter the palace."

The chief eunuch quickly sent someone to notify them.

So Mu Jinfeng, who was in a good mood in the Prime Minister's Mansion and was watching Mu Lianxue's miserable appearance, was suddenly taken away by a group of eunuchs.

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi, who were also standing by, were confused. What? Seeing Mu Lianxue's miserable state, she was still captured by the eunuchs?

Fortunately, the eunuchs explained before leaving that someone had accused my father of assassinating the prince.

But if my father assassinated the prince, what does that mean by taking my eldest brother away?

However, when they thought about their father who was still confined to bed, they figured it out.

And if they go, they might suddenly lose control of their temper and even wipe out the entire clan?

Mu Jinbai thought with some regret, maybe their names could even be recorded in history books!

Who doesn’t want to be famous after death?

If I cannot become a famous official who will go down in history, then being the instigator of the extermination of nine clans would also be good.

At least I left my name behind, which is much better than those nameless people!

There was a flash of madness in Mu Jinbai's eyes. He knew that his idea was a little extreme, but so what?

As long as he doesn't get rid of Mu Lianxue, he will never be able to get rid of the nightmare.

Mu Wenyu only found out about this after Mu Jinfeng was taken away, and his face rarely looked gloomy.

There have been many incidents in the palace recently. Now he can only lie in bed, and he is actually being falsely accused of assassinating the prince? !

How ridiculous!

Although Mu Wenyu did want to get rid of the crown prince and the second prince and push the third prince to the throne.

But he hasn't taken any action yet!

And what does it mean that the emperor took Jinfeng away without asking him any questions?

Mu Wenyu was so excited that he accidentally moved his legs, and he instantly felt the pain doubled.

Lin Xueruo softly comforted her husband, "Don't worry, Yulang. His Majesty should know that it was not you who did it, otherwise he would not have sent someone to invite the eldest master."

Mu Wenyu suppressed the pain and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, did you send someone to invite me? It's obvious that you think I'm useless, so you don't even bother to express your attitude!"

"Xue Niang, quickly get someone to cook some more pain-relieving medicine!"

Lin Xueruo responded hurriedly and turned to look for someone.

Only Mu Wenyu and Mu Jinrong who was sitting next to him were left.

Mu Jinrong looked at the scene where his father depended on his mother with satisfaction. This was the family he wanted.

Now my father basically never sees that lady and only lives in my mother's room.

However, I heard from the imperial physician that father will recover in the future?

When he thought of this, Mu Jinrong felt a little guilty. If he had known earlier, he would have held the dagger and sharpened it for a while longer, until his father's tendons and bones were broken.

Mu Jinrong went out quietly. He did not notice Mu Wenyu frowning and looking at him from behind.

Mu Jinfeng sat in the carriage in a daze before he realized his current situation.

Did His Majesty discover that he was the one who assassinated the Crown Prince? !

So fast? !

Impossible! He had been thinking about this for a long time, and even left behind a piece of evidence that represented the murderer.

There is absolutely no trace of him left?

Mu Jinfeng couldn't understand why His Majesty would ask him to enter the palace.

He took a deep breath to calm himself, then took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch next to him, "Can you tell me what happened?"

The eunuch opened his eyes wide, and a smile spread across his face. He quickly took the purse and said, "This is because the eunuch confessed that Prime Minister Mu was the murderer who assassinated the Crown Prince."

Mu Jinfeng's breathing stagnated. What eunuch? How could he have eunuchs under his command?

So where on earth did this eunuch come from? !

"Your Majesty originally wanted to summon the Prime Minister, but considering the Prime Minister's injuries, I decided to summon you instead."

Mu Jinfeng pretended to explain for his father: "Father, there is no way he can do anything to the prince. He is still lying in bed and unable to move!"

The eunuch sighed deeply: "Isn't this the only person the tortured eunuch confided in before his death? So..."

Mu Jinfeng gritted his teeth and told him not to let him know who the eunuch worked for!

Wait, didn’t he have his assassins leave evidence that could represent the Second Prince?

Where is the evidence?!

Logically speaking, with this evidence, Your Majesty doesn't have to summon him into the palace!

Mu Jinfeng was puzzled. What went wrong?

He calmed his somewhat rapid breathing and got off the carriage.
