Chapter 180 No Mercy

Ever since Mu Rong was reborn, he had only one thought.

That is to spend this life peacefully and smoothly with Xu Rongrong, but the prerequisite is to have a peaceful and harmonious Great Zhou.

Among all the princes, the only one who is both capable and talented is the third prince Wu Tianxiao.

Therefore, he needs to eliminate all obstacles for Wu Tianxiao.

From the beginning to the end, he could not find any connection between the Huangzhuang incident and the prince. He was worried about where to start, but Chang Jing's letter for help would undoubtedly involve the prince completely.

Therefore, that handwritten letter must naturally be sent to the East Palace!

only……

"We replaced the messenger. Among the Marquis's secret guards, there's a man named Mu Wu who possesses a special physique. He possesses a deep inner energy and can fake various near-death situations. So, he disguised himself as the confidant and infiltrated the Eastern Palace. However... the Crown Prince had met the confidant before, so Mu Wu couldn't meet him. He simply left Chang Jing's handwritten letter behind and slipped out of the Eastern Palace."

"Besides avoiding a direct confrontation with the Crown Prince, he has a more important priority: to allow himself to be captured by the people from the Ningguo Mansion, and then reveal everything about the Imperial Farm and the Crown Prince's schemes."

Duke Ningguo got such a big piece of news, which undoubtedly meant he had a huge handle on the prince.

However, Xu Rongrong expressed doubts: "Let's not talk about the Crown Prince, will the Ningguo Mansion believe Mu Wu?"

"Of course they will believe testimony given under severe punishment."

"Severe punishment..." Xu Rongrong widened her eyes. Did she really have to act like this?

Seeing this, Mu Rong understood that Xu Rongrong was worried about Mu Wu's safety, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Duke Ning won't let too many people in the mansion see him. He will definitely let the person who brought him into the mansion deal with him. And I was the one who arranged for this person to enter the Duke's mansion."

"As for the torture... Mu Wu's physique is very special. Even the slightest touch would turn him blue and purple, even looking like blood seeping out. It's shocking."

Is this... the legendary masochistic physique?

Xu Rongrong complained inwardly: If I have the chance, I really want to pinch it!

Mu Rong continued, "Duke Ning has the Crown Prince's leverage. Even if it's not for his own daughter, he'll have to consider the Duke's Mansion. He will definitely join forces with Concubine Shu and take action against the Crown Prince."

Xu Rongrong thought of what Mu Lu had just said and murmured, "So, the people from the Ningguo Mansion have also been keeping an eye on the Eastern Palace these past two days."

"Yes." Mu Rong nodded. "But I didn't expect the Duke's Mansion to have fallen so far, without even a single useful person. He needed Mu Yi to secretly help him... Not only to track the Crown Prince's movements, but also to discover Chun Wang's whereabouts and rescue him from the Eastern Palace's assassination attempt." "So, you asked Chief Secretary Yi to hand Chun Wang over to the Dali Temple so that the Eastern Palace and Duke Ning could find him."

Mu Rong smiled and said, "That's right. Only in this way can we let the Dali Temple prove that I didn't reveal the matter of the imperial farm, and let Chunwang know that Chang Jing wants to silence him. Once he is in the hands of the Duke of Ningguo, he will naturally confess everything."

After listening to this, Xu Rongrong was stunned for a long time, then asked, "Are you tired?"

Mu Rong was stunned, then burst into laughter...

After he finished laughing, Xu Rongrong continued to ask, "You said earlier that you wanted to borrow Chu He for a while, but was it for this matter?"

"Exactly! The Crown Prince relies heavily on Chang Jing and will certainly not sit idly by. According to Chang Jing's letter requesting assistance, if they want to silence those maids, they will definitely send secret guards south. However, Yujia Village is now like an iron barrel. If they want to take action, they can only do it while everyone is on their way to the capital."

"I've seen the skills of the Eastern Palace's secret guards, and Chu He is far superior to them. Furthermore, I've sent people to secretly escort him. Furthermore, once the secret guards from the Crown Prince's residence leave the capital, the men under Duke Ningguo and Concubine Shu will also be out in full force. When the three sides engage in a chaotic battle, Chu He, with his cunning and stealthy tactics, will be able to secure the Crown Prince's assassination!"

"By then, with all the evidence and witnesses present, it will be impossible for the prince to clear himself."

"He was involved in such a terrible incident. The crown prince's dethronement and enthronement depended on your Majesty's decision. However, in order to appease the people, Your Majesty had no choice but to dethrone him."

But Xu Rongrong expressed doubt: "Your Majesty dotes on the prince so much, will he really be willing to give him up?"

Mu Rong raised an eyebrow: "Compared to the prince, he is more reluctant to give up the world."

He said it very firmly.

The tea in the cup had unknowingly gone cold. Xu Rongrong took a sip and shuddered.

Mu Rong laughed and replaced the water in her cup. "What are you thinking about? You're so distracted."

"I was wondering...why did you deploy personnel in the Ningguo Mansion?"

"I originally planned it just for emergencies, but I didn't expect it to come in handy this time."

Is it really?

Xu Rongrong was suspicious.

Did Mu Rong have the same thoughts in his previous life?

If so, why did the Third Prince die so tragically? His family was destroyed, his reputation was ruined, and the people of the world regarded him as a sinner, cursing him for openly plotting treason for his own selfish interests!

Looking back on my rebirth, it has only been half a year, and the two lives are so different.

The only variable among these is one's own rebirth.

But she only went to Jiangnan to resolve the epidemic crisis, so could it have such a big impact? Or...

Are there other variables besides her?

She looked at the man in front of her with a hint of doubt.

After all, all the current arrangements were made by him.

Seeing Xu Rongrong's expression, Mu Rong knew that his little girl was starting to have wild thoughts again.

He smiled warmly, "So, Rongrong, do you think this play is okay?"

Xu Rongrong came to her senses. "The Marquis's plan is ingenious, but it's also too risky... What if the Crown Prince had met Mu Wu the night before? Wouldn't that have exposed the whole plan?"

Mu Rong's smile was tinged with eccentricity. "No. Because that day, he took the Northern Frontier dancer, Hermi, who was at the banquet, into the Eastern Palace... He must have been too busy that night."

Helme… When Xu Rongrong heard this name, she couldn't help but think of the absurdity she had witnessed on the rockery on New Year's Eve. Her face flushed slightly.

Mu Rong saw this and asked, "Why is Rongrong still so shy after all this time?"

"How can everyone be as shameless as you?" Xu Rongrong glared at him.

Mu Rong didn't care: "But I'm too shameless to get a wife..."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Seeing her annoyed face, Mu Rong knew that she was no longer thinking about it, so he smiled and took a sip of tea.

There was one thing that Mu Rong hadn't mentioned just now, and that was why he chose to let Concubine Shu be the first to file the complaint.

At the New Year's Eve family dinner, Concubine Shu looked at Xu Rongrong with sinister eyes. He knew that it was because of hatred.

If she had the chance, she would definitely take action against Xu Rongrong.

But Rongrong is a female family member after all. No matter whether she is currently a county lady or a lady of the marquisate in the future, she needs to go to the harem alone to pay homage to the high-ranking concubines during every New Year.

If Concubine Shu continues to hold a high position... he will really be worried.

The only way is to let her take action against the prince. In this way, after the prince falls, the first person the queen will deal with is Concubine Shu.

Then let these two women in the harem fight.

On the night of the family dinner, the Queen moved Xu Rongrong's seat to his side. Wasn't it just to let her face Concubine Shu directly and arouse that woman's hatred?

Oh, since you want to plot against his little girl, why should he be soft-hearted?
