"You can tell?"

Mu Tangxi nodded with curved eyebrows and explained: "Just keep looking at their mouths. The shapes of their mouths are different when they talk. You will learn it if you watch more!"

Ji Qichen didn't expect Tangxi to be able to do this.

How did she practice it?

Mu Tangxi smiled without saying anything. After being deafened in his previous life, he was bored and could only stare at Mu Lianxue.

Even if she couldn't hear, Mu Lianxue would still say things in front of her that she couldn't hear.

Mu Tangxi would know it by accident.

You will learn it just by watching more.

Anyway, it wasn’t just Mu Lianxue who came during that period, and a lot of information was learned from their lip shapes.

Ji Qichen felt that he could also learn this skill.

But since the second prince has been taken away, they can leave.

Now is not the time to win over those officials. We need to at least have the strength ourselves.

Otherwise, if they approach him now, they will definitely look down on the Third Prince.

After all, the second prince has a greater chance of winning, even though he has been taken away by the Royal Guards.

After the second prince was brought to the palace, he thought that even if he was slandered as the person who assassinated the prince, at least the prince was dead and he was the only one who could take on the task.

But as soon as the second prince entered, he looked up and saw the crown prince and his father.

Second Prince:...

It turned out that they were playing a trick on him!

Isn’t the prince fine?

The emperor and the crown prince looked at the second prince together, each with a different expression.

The emperor was as confused as ever, and the prince was filled with anger.

His last guess turned out to be correct!

It was the Second Prince who assassinated him!

It's not like he didn't suffer some damage this time, he's just holding on.

"Second brother, I thought we were brothers, and we wouldn't make things worse."

"I didn't expect you to want to assassinate me!"

The prince stared at the second prince with sharp eyes and accused him.

The second prince felt wronged, but he could only explain: "Brother and I grew up together, how could he not know what kind of person I am? Someone must have framed me for this!"

The prince sneered: "Framed? Then why did the assassin I caught say your name?!"

The second prince was so angry that he almost bled: "That's why I said it was a false accusation!"

"Today is the day I marry my concubine. How could I do it today? And I absolutely cannot do anything to my elder brother!"

The second prince had a determined look in his eyes, as if he had no intention of seizing power.

The prince didn't want to talk to this person anymore. There was evidence all around, so it was useless no matter how cleverly his second brother spoke.

The emperor suddenly spoke: "Second Prince, the Crown Prince was assassinated today. After realizing that they were surrounded by the Imperial Guards, those assassins decisively chose to bite the poison and commit suicide."

The second prince thought it was normal. Of course the assassin would commit suicide after realizing he couldn't escape.

"But the prince has captured a living assassin."

"After being cut into pieces, he revealed the real murderer, and then he died."

The second prince looked a little unhappy.

died?

And he died after being tortured.

The person behind the scenes who trained the death squad is really very capable. He can actually make the death squad listen to him so much!

"Father, there must be someone else behind this!"

"Perhaps," the second prince's eyes flickered, "the three young masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion were also killed by the man behind the scenes!"

I'm sorry, Prime Minister. It's a critical moment now and I can only use his affairs to divert attention.

The emperor and the crown prince were indeed drawn to it. "Are the three young masters of the prime minister's residence all dead?"

The prince sincerely sympathized with Prime Minister Mu for a moment. Who did he offend? This was going to put an end to the Prime Minister's lineage!

The emperor also frowned. Although he was happy to see the prime minister's power weakened, it would definitely be a tricky task to kill the three sons of the prime minister's mansion quietly in the capital.

The second prince quickly continued, "Yes, I'm sure Father and Big Brother know that I've let Miss Mu live in one of my houses for the past month."

The emperor and the prince did not say anything. Although they knew it, they could not admit it directly.

However, they all thought that the second prince was the one who assassinated the crown prince, so they sent people to keep an eye on him.

But then they discovered that he had taken Miss Mu II away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Second Prince observed the expressions of his father and the Crown Prince with his peripheral vision, "I went to the Prime Minister's Residence because I wanted to develop a relationship with Second Miss Mu, but the Prime Minister did not let her out, but Second Miss Mu ran out on her own."

"Please ask me to take her away from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Emperor and Prince: ???

What, does this mean that the Prime Minister killed his children?

The second prince knew they had misunderstood as soon as he saw their expressions, and explained, "Second Miss Mu said that the Prime Minister's eldest, second, and third sons all died of oleander poison. I don't know who did it."

"So Miss Mu was afraid of being poisoned and dying suddenly like them, so she asked me to take her away."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why hasn't there been any news of their death in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The second prince had no idea. He probably just thought that his father would take the opportunity to do something.

"I don't know about that either."

"But I really didn't assassinate Big Brother! It must have been the man who killed the Prime Minister's son!"

The prince thought about it for a while and felt that it seemed to make sense.

Now he was half and half suspicious of the Second Prince and the man who had set his sights on the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "But the evidence is irrefutable. How are you going to explain it?!"

The second prince was stunned. He knew about the witnesses, but where did the physical evidence come from?

The prince suddenly said: "That assassin told us where they live, and we found your jade token!"

The second prince denied in astonishment: "Impossible!"

The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuch next to him came forward with a jade screen so that the second prince could see it with his own eyes.

The second prince looked over anxiously, and then his heart sank.

The most horrifying thing happened. It really was his jade token.

Damn it! When was it lost?

"Brother, this thing is not mine!"

The only thing we can do now is to deny this matter.

As long as they don't find out that he has ever carried this jade token.

The emperor did not miss the look of surprise in the second prince's eyes, and he gradually became disappointed with the second prince.

Why assassinate the prince?

They are obviously brothers who grew up together.

The emperor closed his eyes and said, "The Second Prince has behaved inappropriately. He will be confined to his home for half a year and fined one year's salary. He is not allowed to contact officials during this period!"

The second prince clenched his hands tightly, gritted his teeth, and controlled himself not to make any sound.

Without evidence, you cannot refute it.

I can only grit my teeth and swallow it.

The Crown Prince was somewhat dissatisfied with the punishment. He was already badly injured, but the Second Prince was fine. He was only fined his salary and confined to his house.
