Han Huaijin and Lu Changping, under the pseudonyms Wu Jin and Wu Kang, followed Rong Shu into the Seventh Prince's Mansion for three days.

The two of them seemed to be slowly becoming bored from their initial excitement and curiosity.

Rong Shu had already received a reply from Rong Shiyi, and he no longer had any doubts about the identities of the two men. He was just waiting for the Seventh Prince to return home.

The Winter Mu Festival is in three days. There were rumors that Queen Meng would announce the ninth prince as the new King of Beirong at the Winter Mu Festival.

The Seventh Prince and the others naturally could not allow the Ninth Prince to ascend the throne, otherwise the four of them and their son would definitely not survive next year's Winter Bathing Festival.

The Seventh Prince went out this time just to prepare for any eventuality.

Now the Seventh Prince, the Third Prince, the Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince have gathered all the manpower they can.

As long as the Ninth Prince dies, no matter how furious the Meng family and Queen Meng are, they will not dare to let the royal bloodline be cut off. At that time, the four of them will still have the possibility of competing.

Going further, as the descendants of the Meng family for hundreds of years, which of these princes and grandchildren does not have some Meng family blood in them?

However, even with this in mind, the four princes did not dare to be too arrogant and had already arranged for their families to leave the city.

After an anxious wait, Rong Shu finally saw the return of the seventh prince.

I don’t know if it’s because of the inbreeding over the past few hundred years, but the people of the Beirong royal family are all extremely strong but not very smart.

The seventh prince Rong Lin was considered to be the one with the highest IQ among all the princes, but he still did not understand the meaning of Rong Shu's words.

Rong Shu was exhausted, and he couldn't beat around the bush when talking to his master.

"Seventh Prince, when the eldest prince was murdered, the real culprit behind the murder wasn't the eleventh prince, nor the fifth prince. So could it be the ninth prince..."

When Rong Lin heard Rong Shu say that the person who killed the eldest prince might be the ninth prince, he immediately waved his hands.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Rong Lin didn't understand Rong Shu's meaning and continued, "Back then, all the resources of the Meng family were used on the eldest brother."

Who was Lao Jiu at that time? He was just an abandoned child of the Meng family. How could he have the ability to kill the eldest brother?

Besides, the clues the assassin could find only related to the Eleventh Brother. Even the Fifth Brother was probably framed by the Qiyan family."

Rong Shu was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes. Of course he knew it was impossible, but was it difficult to make Queen Meng suspect that it was the Ninth Prince?

Even if there is just the slightest sign of trouble, Queen Meng will never allow the suspect who killed her son to ascend the throne.

"My Lord, at that time, the Eleventh Prince was imprisoned, and Princess Qiyan had been neglected for a long time. How could they have the ability to frame the Fifth Prince? The late King was furious, and everyone was in danger. The only family that could take action was the Meng family."

Rong Lin was stunned. "The Meng family lost their heir to the throne. They should be angry. How could they possibly protect the murderer?"

Rong Shu broke it down bit by bit and explained to his master: "The Ninth Prince is also a member of the Meng family. Without the eldest prince, the Meng family can only support the Ninth Prince. Do you think that over the years, the Ninth Prince has benefited the most?"

Rong Shu originally just wanted his master to deliberately implicate the Ninth Prince, but he didn't know that he accidentally revealed the truth.

"We don't need to find any evidence to prove that the Ninth Prince is the murderer. We just need to make Queen Meng suspicious of him. If Queen Meng becomes disloyal to the Ninth Prince and the Meng family..."

Rong Lin finally understood: "I understand. I will go find the third brother and the others now and find a way to report this to Queen Meng."

Rong Shu breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding: "Seventh Prince, don't forget to spread the news that the assassin is from Nanlai."

The fact that Beirong and Nanlai had connections was no secret among the royal family.

But the ones who can really command the people of Nanlai are only the Meng family and the King of Beirong himself.

Rong Lin didn't understand: "If the assassin was from Nanlai, how could he possibly attack the eldest prince?"

Rong Shu was also worried that none of these princes were smart, and that if the four of them whispered together, it would ruin things.

He could only break it down and explain it again and again.

"Seventh Prince, the assassin is from Nanlai, which proves that the Meng family has long intended to support the Ninth Prince. As for the reason, you should bring your staff to the Third Prince and his men. Mr. Qu, who is with the Third Prince, must also be present. With them around, they will surely come up with a good plan."

Rong Lin nodded. One thing that made him better than his brother was that he knew he was not very smart and was willing to listen to advice.

Rong Lin walked to the door with his men and suddenly thought of the Saker Falcon.

"You said there's a young man at the Pingshun Inn who can catch a Saker Falcon?"

"Yes, he grabbed the Saker Falcon's two claws with both hands, and the Saker Falcon couldn't break free from him."

Rong Lin was a little curious: "Call him over as well."

"Yes."

When the Seventh Prince went to find his alliance to deal with the Ninth Prince, Meng Yi, the magistrate of Luyan County, also brought Qi Ye to the residence of the Ninth Prince Rong Yu.

Rong Yu was furious because the Seventh Prince's Mansion got a Saker Falcon, but when he saw Meng Yi brought the twelve zodiac animals, his anger subsided.

Saker Falcon is not so easy to tame. It is only three days away from the Winter Festival. Even if Lao Qi forcibly brings the Saker Falcon along, it will only cause some sensation.

He has the support of the Meng family. As long as he can make Queen Meng happy, the position of King of Beirong will belong to him.

"You said that group of Xiqi people have something even more extraordinary?"

Meng Yi glanced at Meng Ye [Qi Ye], and Meng Ye replied respectfully, "Yes, there are many things that I have never seen before.

My parents knew the seventh prince's needs, so they gave me a lot of money and asked me to look for him everywhere.

As soon as I saw the merchant's goods, I knew that you, Prince Ninth, must need them, so I wanted to take everything.

But firstly, there were too many things for me to carry, and secondly, the prices were ridiculously high. I spent all my money to buy this set of porcelain."

Rong Yu looked at Meng Yi with satisfaction. He was loyal to him because he was concerned about his situation.

Meng Yi also glanced at Meng Ye with satisfaction. Meng Ye was a man of great skill, capable of doing things and speaking, and most importantly, he never took credit for others' work.

"Ninth Prince, those people are really ungrateful. They knew it was going to be presented to the Queen, yet they still dared to ask for an exorbitant price. Why don't we send some people to get the item back tonight?"

When Meng Yi said this, he lowered his eyes to prevent others from seeing his greed.

Rong Yu waved his hand. This was a critical moment and he didn't want to be caught by Lao Qi and his men.

"Let those people come into the city. I want to see it for myself."

Meng Yi was a little disappointed, as he had thought he could gain some benefits this time.

"Yes."

Meng Ye suggested: "Ninth Prince, sir, I'm afraid you should bring more skilled hands."

"Why? Can't a prince's mansion like mine hire a few merchants?"

"Ninth Prince, don't be angry. That group of Xiqi people really made a big splash today. I rushed over because I heard the news. On my way back, I saw people from the Seventh Prince's mansion. I was worried..."

Before Meng Ye finished speaking, Rong Yu understood.

"Old Seven always gives me a hard time. I'll send a few experts to go with you."

"Yes, Ninth Prince."

Rong Yu sent Meng Yi and the other two away, and took the twelve zodiac animals to the palace to please Queen Meng.

Queen Meng was very happy to receive the filial piety from the ninth prince, and the two of them looked like a loving mother and a filial son.

This news soon reached the ears of the Seventh Prince and others.

"Old Nine just does this nonsense all day long."

"The Queen fell for his tricks, and with the Meng family... damn it."

"If we really let this villain sit on the throne, our four families will not have a good life."

"What on earth are these twelve zodiac animals that even the queen finds them so strange?"
