Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

If it was said that all the incomprehensible things in this world could be explained by ghosts and gods, Mu Lanxun would have been disdainful.

But since he discovered Feng Xili's sudden change and those miraculous predictions, he suddenly felt a sense of awe.

Just like now, in front of everyone, although Xiao Ze's head and body were separated, the tongues of fire that suddenly emerged from his corpse were very strange.

It was as if his corpse was unwilling to be tainted by this world and couldn't wait to go to that world.

The flames wrapped in the morning light, as if they had gained life, soaring straight into the sky, and no one could get close.

He inexplicably thought of the man wearing the rabbit mask, who disappeared like a puff of smoke under the moonlight. He could not explain the strangeness of that time, nor could he explain the weirdness of this moment.

Xiao Ze's body gradually turned into ashes in the flames, leaving only a mottled skeleton lying twisted on the charred ground.

The executioner who had been guarding the scene waited until the fire was extinguished, then went to report to the emperor with a look of surprise.

Mu Lanxun hid in the dark, frowning. He didn't believe that a person would spontaneously combust for no reason.

If it wasn't Luo Yurong's problem, then who did Xiao Ze meet afterwards?

"Are the two guards last night still here?" His eyes were fixed on the charred area, where wisps of green smoke were still spreading.

"I'm going to take a rest after changing shifts." Yuanri replied.

"Go and find out if anyone else had contact with Xiao Ze last night?" His voice was low. He hadn't slept all night and had witnessed such a bizarre scene. He was really anxious.

"Yes."

After the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was also some turmoil in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. The reason was that the Grand Tutor's second daughter smashed things in the mansion, and the maids and old women were driven away one after another.

The Grand Tutor knew that this was probably because of Xiao Ze, but thinking that the troublemaker was already dead, Yu Rong could make a fuss, as everything would be fine after all.

And that was indeed the case. After a few days, everything calmed down.

When spring came and flowers bloomed, Mu Lanxun received Feng Xili's sixth letter.

The prosperous scene of Ya'an City is also changing with each passing day.

"Master, there is a letter." Yuanri handed over an envelope and took away another envelope tacitly.

Mu Lanxun sat by the window with her hair still wet, casually flipping through the corner of the envelope.

Sure enough, in an inconspicuous corner, there was a picture of a cute chubby face, and his eyes instantly lit up with a smile.

Every time Xier wrote to me, she would draw all sorts of small expressions and gestures somewhere on the envelope.

Sometimes she has a milky smile, sometimes she pouts angrily, sometimes she cries with grievance, and sometimes she looks away pretending to be deep.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, his thumb stroked the little chubby face, and he opened the letter gently and softly.

What caught my eye was her beautiful handwriting and the familiar greeting.

The contents of the letter were mostly about what she had seen and heard, some interesting things, some doubts, and some dissatisfactions, all of which she wrote to him in detail.

Until the end of the letter, she wrote clearly: Reply to six, faked death, escaped, and there is no evidence after death.

Mu Lanxun's eyes flashed, and he replied that he was referring to the sixth letter in which he detailed the process of Xiao Ze's body being inexplicably burned. His original intention was just to let her have a brief understanding of some major and minor events in Ya'an City.

But, Xiao Ze faked his death?

Who has this ability? Under the nose of Emperor Qi Zhao, he has the ability to escape?

No evidence after death? Yeah, everything has been burned to a pile of bones, so a coroner is naturally useless.

However, this did give him a direction. The two people who were on guard that night had not received any other visitors except Luo Yurong.

Could it be that Xiao Ze had already made some preparations before entering the Heavenly Prison?

Does that mean that Emperor Qi Zhao fell into someone's trap from the moment he stepped into Baixiao Palace?

If that's the case...

Mu Lanxun felt a chill on his back. There must be a big shot hiding in Shangli’s palace. Why did he help Xiao Ze?

Xiao Ze, Liu Xiao, the Zhongning Marquisate...

When Liu Nianfeng died, the Zhongning Marquisate collapsed overnight. The late emperor watched helplessly as the minister who had accompanied him in defending the country died suddenly, but remained indifferent.

Does Emperor Qi Zhao know something about what happened back then?

Mu Lanxun's index finger kept tapping the window frame. The Zhongning Marquis' Mansion must be thoroughly investigated.

In a corner deep in the harem, a dark figure took out a jade token, which was taken by another person. He turned it over in his hand and couldn't help but sneered, "This is the royal jade tablet, it's not that great!"

The black shadow chuckled with a strong sense of disdain. He took out a piece of paper from his arms, on which was written: Expose Feng Xili's identity and expose her as the illegitimate daughter of Emperor Qi Zhao.

The person opposite the shadow took a deep breath. How much did he hate Emperor Qi Zhao? How dare he slander him so boldly?

"The lord said that we will cooperate with you to the best of our ability. As long as you don't ask for an exorbitant price, we will fully support you." Someone said with a smile. Compared to the cautiousness of the black shadow, he was very casual.

The black shadow nodded, saluted, and then turned and left. He didn't say a word from beginning to end, and didn't show his face. He smelled of firewood smoke. He really took every step carefully to the extreme.

He held the jade token in his hand, on which were clearly written the words "Yuhe", which looked like a name.

But now, the only children of Emperor Qi Zhao are Princess Biying, born to Concubine Yan, and King Yuanshan, born to Concubine Liang.

There is no child named "Yuhe".

In fact, before Emperor Qi Zhao ascended the throne, he had a child while traveling one year. However, this child had an unfortunate fate and died shortly after birth.

One day after Emperor Qi Zhao ascended the throne, he suddenly remembered this child and ordered someone to make a jade plaque for this poor child as a memorial.

Not many people knew about this, but there were still two or three people.

Feng Xili has always been a concubine's daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but was specially granted the title of Princess Liyou by Emperor Qi Zhao. The obvious favoritism is obvious to everyone. If it is said that she is the product of Emperor Qi Zhao's romantic affair when he was young, it can be justified.

But if this happens, Emperor Qi Zhao's reputation will inevitably plummet. The Prime Minister's Office is simply covering up for the emperor. What does this prove?

This is enough to prove that this woman's background must be ignoble. As for what the truth is and whether it will be announced to the world, it is no longer important.

What's important is that the reasons behind this are kept secret. Once prejudice arises, it cannot be erased by one or two things or two or three words.

In short, it will definitely make Emperor Qi Zhao upset for a while. After waiting for so long, he can finally vent his anger.

The shadow's steps were slightly brisk, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in the shadows, "That's great, that's great..."

It is really God’s help.

Zixiang Palace.

Yuanri knocked on the door: "Master, someone is coming from the Second Prince's side."

Mu Lanxun's eyes, which were pretending to be asleep while leaning against the backrest, suddenly opened. Mu Fengze's people?
