Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Xu Jingshu collapsed in the chair, cold sweat on her forehead, thinking over and over again about the whereabouts of the 10,000 taels of gold.

How come it disappeared?!

Mu Jinfeng also realized that something was wrong, but he didn't know where to start.

Until a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has woken up!"

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, at least he woke up.

He and the queen immediately stood up and went to look at the crown prince, followed closely by the second and third princes.

Of course, it was Mu Tangxi who persuaded the Third Prince to go there.

Now only the Prime Minister's family is left in the side hall.

After Xu Jingshu and the others left, she turned her anger to Mu Tangxi, "Mu Tangxi, why didn't you defend me just now?!"

Mu Tangxi looked over innocently, "I'm afraid that something might go wrong once I open my mouth. What if it's different from what mother thinks?"

"And at first I thought that the 10,000 taels of gold were not taken by my mother."

Xu Jingshu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth, but she still felt angry.

"Tangxi, please tell me what is going on here!"

Mu Tangxi told the two of them what had happened.

Xu Jingshu and Mu Jinfeng's faces suddenly turned ugly. "Does that mean our Prime Minister's Mansion is the only one who has found a suspect in the murder of the Crown Prince?"

Mu Jinfeng comforted her, "Don't be afraid, mother. Father would never do such a thing. Besides, doesn't His Majesty also suspect the Third Prince?"

Xu Jingshu felt a little more at ease.

But after thinking about it, I think the Prime Minister’s Mansion is more suspicious!

The third prince was suspected only because the masked man had cat hair on him!

They in the Prime Minister's Mansion suspected that this was what the eunuch said before his death.

These two levels are completely different!

Mu Jinfeng also asked at this time: "Mother, where did you put the ten thousand taels of gold?"

Xu Jingshu was silent, "I was really buried in the flowerbed."

At this time, Mu Tangxi suddenly whispered doubtfully: "In fact, I suspect that it was the Second Prince who assassinated the Crown Prince. After the Crown Prince's death, it was obviously the Second Prince who benefited!"

Mu Jinfeng also nodded in agreement. All the dirty water was thrown on the third prince, but the second prince was fine. Who would believe it? !

After hearing this, Xu Jingshu also felt that Tangxi was right. This was the first time she was framed!

The second prince!

She thought about the name with gritted teeth, but suddenly hesitated.

According to her idea, if Mu Lianxue were to be married to the Second Prince as a concubine, given that the Crown Prince was seriously injured, the Second Prince's chances of winning would be much higher!

She suddenly felt that this was not a loss, but if the second prince did not marry Lianxue, then she would not be polite!

Xu Jingshu was in a neither good nor bad mood at the moment.

On the other hand, the prince, who had just woken up and was in a state of collapse, tried hard to restrain himself and behave better in front of his father in order to regain his father's admiration for him.

He just saw his second brother giving him a provocative look!

"Father, have you found out who murdered me?"

The prince asked anxiously, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.

Now he was in excruciating pain all over his body and could not move, lying in bed.

He looked at his second brother suspiciously.

But he didn't expect his second brother to beat him to the punch. "Brother, are you doubting me? What a misunderstanding. Now Father has found two suspects."

The prince looked over and asked, "Which two?"

The second prince curled his lips, "Of course it's my third brother and Prime Minister Mu."

Who wouldn't wonder when these two people are put together?

My third brother had just married the daughter of the Prime Minister, and the two of them happened to be found out when the Crown Prince was murdered.

Who can not be suspicious?

Although these two people are a little...

Anyway, he really didn't do this!

The Crown Prince thought that the Second Prince was talking nonsense. Not to mention the Prime Minister, how did the Third Prince end up in the queue of suspects?

Isn't that ridiculous?

"How did the third brother come to be suspected?"

The second prince was silent for a moment, "Because the masked man's clothes were stained with the fur of the cat slave raised by my third brother."

In fact, he also wanted to use other evidence to prove that it was his third brother, but the situation was urgent at the time and it was almost too late, so he could only use what he had on hand.

The prince fell silent after hearing this outrageous answer. He turned to look at his third brother, "Third brother, how come the fur of your cat appeared on the masked man?"

Ji Qichen explained innocently, "Don't we have to leave the palace to get married to Tangxi? So I asked a eunuch to help me send Jinjin to the mansion."

"The eunuch was also interrogated and finally revealed the prime minister's name."

"Then... he hit his head against a wall and died."

The prince was speechless for a moment, his mind was in a mess.

First, let’s rule out the third brother. He has no power and no money to keep those horses.

Then there was the prime minister. He went to see the prime minister’s miserable appearance yesterday!

It is unlikely that the Prime Minister would assassinate him at this time, right?

"Report! Your subordinates found the 10,000 taels of gold at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Aunt Lin's residence!"

The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this. Where does Aunt Lin live?

how come?

Wait, the Prime Minister is now living in Aunt Lin’s residence, so the Prime Minister noticed the Prime Minister’s wife’s actions, so... ?

But it is also possible that the Prime Minister intends to do something with the gold!

The emperor did not hesitate and gave the order directly: "Carry the prime minister into the palace... and bring Aunt Lin here as well!"

Since we have already surrounded the Prime Minister's residence with troops, we might as well go all out and call the Prime Minister and that concubine Lin into the palace directly.

When the time comes, they can just accuse the prime minister of a few crimes and put him in jail. Then Aunt Lin will be...

The Queen was furious. The Crown Prince was still here, seriously injured and unable to get out of bed, but His Majesty was so concerned about that Concubine Lin? !

Your Majesty would not dare to take my wife away!

This is too outrageous!

If the prince was not injured, the queen could even secretly contact the ministers in the court and ask them to collectively submit a memorial to the emperor to see if they could force the emperor to abdicate and the prince to ascend the throne!

Although it was a bit far-fetched, the prince's current injuries made it impossible for her to even imagine it!

The prince always felt that it was not the prime minister who harmed him, but the second prince!

But he had no evidence and didn't know where to start.

This made him grit his teeth.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Wenyu almost couldn't breathe after learning that the Prime Minister's Mansion was surrounded.

What does your majesty want to do? !

Mu Wenyu had finally managed to calm himself down when suddenly the door was pushed open and several eunuchs rushed in. They lifted his quilt and wanted to take him away!

Lin Xueruo happened to appear with medicine at this time. When she saw this scene, she hurried forward to dissuade them.

"What are you doing? The master is still sick!"

The eunuch lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry for the offense, Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty has requested us, and I hope the Prime Minister will cooperate with us servants."

Lin Xueruo was stunned at the action of stopping her. His Majesty's order?

Mu Wenyu forced a smile and said, "Please wait for a moment while I change my clothes."
