The subordinate then asked, "What about the ore? Could it be that King Shu's men did it too?"

Pei Lan thought for a moment and asked, "I haven't seen Hong Shan these days. He's Mu Nanfeng's confidant, but he's not with Mu Nanfeng. Humph! When the people sent by my aunt arrive, Mu Nanfeng will definitely be finished this time. No matter whether the iron mine is his or not, he can't negotiate anymore, hahaha."

Both Queen Pei and Emperor Yu received secret reports. Queen Pei knew without hesitation that no one else except Mu Nanfeng had the ability to secretly mine iron ore.

Empress Pei smiled triumphantly, "This time, I will make sure you die without a burial place."

Queen Pei arranged for someone to secretly deliver a letter to Prime Minister Pei, and also arranged for someone to secretly go to Huaiyuan County.

After receiving the secret letter, His Majesty convened an emergency meeting to listen to the opinions of the ministers. Some people doubted the truth of the matter, and some suggested that people should be sent to Huaiyuan County immediately to find out the truth.

Finally, His Majesty sent someone to issue an order to Mu Nanfeng and Mu Han, asking them to find out the truth and uncover the mastermind behind the scenes.

Later, he secretly sent the Dragon Guards, who only obeyed him, to Huaiyuan County to obey Mu Han's orders.

Emperor Yu's health was deteriorating, and he himself felt that he didn't have much time left.

He always believed that the child he had with the former queen was a great one, and he began to doubt Queen Pei. However, Queen Pei had grown to a position that he could not easily depose.

He had no choice but to leave the last Dragon Guard that belonged to him to Mu Han, hoping that it could protect his poor child.

Both groups secretly went to Huaiyuan County, and within a few days, County Magistrate Guo got a clue.

After many twists and turns, the so-called witness was captured. After being severely tortured by County Magistrate Guo and his men, the man finally confessed that he was Empress Pei's man.

Pei Lan was the first to stand up in disagreement. "Impossible! He's talking nonsense. If he says she's the queen, does that mean she's the queen? Besides his words, what other evidence can prove it? It's pure nonsense."

County Magistrate Guo looked at Mu Nanfeng and Mu Han. Mu Han said, "Indeed, we can't just take his one-sided words for granted. We need substantial evidence."

Mu Han was not trying to excuse Queen Pei. He simply knew that Mu Nanfeng was the most likely culprit, but he just couldn't find any evidence.

Mu Nanfeng also smiled and said, "Indeed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a point. Since you and I have been ordered by the Emperor to investigate this matter, we must get to the bottom of it."

Finally, they locked up the so-called witness and continued looking for clues.

That day, He Yue met Mu Nanfeng on the way back to Tzu Chi Hall after treating a family in the city.

Mu Nanfeng invited He Yue to a lake outside the south city. Mu Nanfeng led the horse and chatted with He Yue.

Mu Nanfeng was good at chatting, and both of them had modern ideas, so they had a very pleasant chat.

Guo Yulan heard that Mu Nanfeng liked the fragrance of magnolia very much, and she knew that there was a magnolia tree by the lake outside the south city.

Thinking of making incense from the magnolia tree and giving it to Mu Nanfeng, he brought Lu He to the lake outside South City.

As they were happily searching around, Lu He pointed to the lake in the distance and someone said, "Miss, that looks like the prince."

The two of them were behind a small slope, and from their position they could only see Mu Nanfeng standing there.

Guo Yulan ran a few steps happily and was about to shout when she saw another person stand up in front of Mu Nanfeng.

Lu He said, "That's He Yue, why is she with Prince Shu?"

Guo Yulan immediately pulled Lu He to squat down. Lu He said, "Miss, it's Prince Shu and He Yue. Why don't we go over there? Why are we hiding?"

Guo Yulan said, "They must be discussing something, and we shouldn't go out and disturb them."

Lu He nodded and said, "Well, we finally found a witness, but there is no other evidence. He Yue must be very anxious."

Guo Yulan and the others couldn't hear what the two people were saying, but she felt uncomfortable when she saw Mu Nanfeng's attitude towards He Yue.

When he saw Mu Nanfeng reaching out to pull He Yue onto the horse and sit in front of him, he held He Yue in his arms and galloped on the horse.

I felt even more uncomfortable and didn't even notice that my hands were crushing the flowers and plants next to me.

Lu He said, "Miss, they left. Let's go find the magnolia tree!"

Guo Yulan forced a smile and said, "I'm not feeling well. Let's go back first! We'll come back another day."

Lu He supported Guo Yulan worriedly, without thinking much about it, just thinking that Guo Yulan was really unwell.

After helping her onto the carriage, he hurried back. Mu Nanfeng used the excuse of teaching He Yue how to ride a horse to get closer to them.

He Yue didn't think much about it. The two of them didn't go back until it was almost dark. Mu Nanfeng sent He Yue to the doorstep and left.

He Yue pushed the door open and went in. "I'm back."

After daily guidance from He Yue and Da Zhuang, Li Guihua became more energetic and gradually came out of her sadness.

When He Yue entered the room, she heard Li Guihua say, "Xiao Yue, look who's back."

He Yue smiled and walked forward, pulling Mu Han to look left and right. "A Shui, you're back. Are you okay? I knew you must be okay since I couldn't find you. I'm glad you're okay."

Mu Han looked at He Yue and said, "I'm sorry to have made you worry. I rolled down the mountain that day and was rescued. I came back as soon as I woke up."

He Yue shook her head. "It's okay, as long as you're okay. And I have to thank you for saving my brother."

Mu Han concealed his identity because he was afraid that He Yue would hate him if she knew that he was a notorious prince.

Mu Han didn't know why, but he was afraid that he was not good enough in front of He Yue and that He Yue would despise him.

Mu Han returned safely. Li Guihua, Dazhuang, He Yue and Xiaozhuang were all very happy and they all had a happy meal together.

This is the happiest time in recent times. Talking and laughing make people forget the unhappy things temporarily.

After dinner, Mu Han found He Yue and thanked her for saving his life.

He Yue said that this was what she should do, and the two chatted for a long time. Mu Han found that He Yue was a kind and simple girl, and his love for her increased a little bit.

In the following days, Mu Han often found various reasons to get close to He Yue. And He Yue gradually developed a good impression of Mu Han, but she herself had not yet realized it.

That day, Mu Han asked He Yue to go to the market and they passed by a jewelry stall.

Mu Han saw a beautiful wooden hairpin and bought it as a gift to He Yue. He Yue took the hairpin and expressed her gratitude, thinking it was just a thank you gift from Mu Han for saving her life.

The two had just left, and Mu Nanfeng, who had seen everything that had just happened, had a cold face and clenched his fists as he watched their backs as they left.

Soon, there was new progress in the case. All the evidence pointed to Queen Pei and also implicated Prime Minister Pei.

The people sent by Queen Pei were also controlled by Mu Nanfeng. The news spread like wildfire, and the whole Huaiyuan County knew that Queen Pei's people were illegally mining iron ore.

I also heard that the reason why Empress Pei amassed so much wealth was because she wanted to be the empress. In order to become the empress, she even killed the former empress, the mother of the current crown prince.

The rumor quickly spread to everyone, the evidence was solid, and it involved the queen of a country.
