Chapter 40 Spring Peach Appears

The news of the second assassination of the King of Qin spread all over Chang'an overnight. In just a month, the King of Qin was assassinated twice. The emperor was furious and ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Li Nanyang and Shen Xiaoyi, who were both on the flower boat at that time, were implicated by this incident. Although there was no conclusive evidence, the two were frequently questioned by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

According to the news from the Shangguan government, the dagger in the king of Qin was poisoned, and he suffered from new injuries, so that he was unconscious and in danger.

Therefore, there are many speculations about the injury of the King of Qin, and the marriage between the King of Qin and Murong Mansion has also become a mystery for a while.

One headache after another hit, which added a few more white hairs on the lady's head, and her face became paler and paler. For Murong Xuan's case, she originally planned that the King of Qin could help her. As for the last time she was in the White Horse Temple, the attitude of the King of Qin was not ruthless to Murong Xun, but it was also based on his marriage with Murong Shan. However, the last time the King of Qin visited, he was not salty to Murong Shan, and he couldn't help but let her Worry, is it that the king of Qin really loves the little bitch of Murong Xun? If so, wouldn't it be a big bad thing! Later, Murong Shan was placed by Murong Xun and was forbidden to stay with the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was not very worried about this matter. After all, Murong Shan's identity as the future princess was there. However, at this time, there was a rumor that the assassination of the king of Qin was unknown. For the eldest lady who still expected the king of Qin, how could she not worry?

"Madam, the detective came to report and found the trace of Xiyue!" A maid said to her.

"What!" The old lady was overjoyed, "Where can I be found by the people of the eldest princess's house?"

The maid replied, "In the mighty general's house! I heard that the eldest princess has sent someone!"

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, and there was a little solemnity on her face. "The insider of the mighty general Wang Pengju is the handkerchief of the eldest princess. I'm afraid this matter is very detrimental to us!"

The maid looked at the old lady and said steadily, "General Weiwu was defeated in the past and was almost dismissed. Thanks to the Prime Minister's plea, the Prime Minister also has a favor to him. If the Prime Minister comes forward in this matter, there may be a turning point!"

The old lady nodded, "You're right! You tell me to send the best killers of the Shangguan government and the Prime Minister's mansion to kill Xiyue no matter what. In addition, I will go to see the Prime Minister now!"

After that, the eldest lady was sent off as a maid, and she changed her clothes and went to find Murong Hua.

When she arrived at Murong Hua's study and looked at him buried between the official documents, the first lady forced a smile and went to Murong Hua's side, grinded it for him, carefully observed his look, and said carefully, "The Prime Minister doesn't seem to be worried about Xuaner's case at all!"

Murong Hua didn't even raise her eyelids and said faintly, "The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people!"

The eldest lady's heart was stabbed, her eyes were full of tears, and she trembled her lips and said, "But Xuaner is also the biological flesh and blood of the prime minister. Does the prime minister watch Xuaner die?"

Murong Hua stopped writing, looked up at the old lady's haggard look, brushed off a faint trace of unbearance in her heart, and her eyes became cold, "Oh?"

The eldest lady tightened her sleeves and said, "Xiyue is the only witness to this case. As long as she dies, I have a way to make Xuan'er safe. The prime minister is kind to the mighty general. He is sure to help the prime minister's kindness, so I hope that the prime minister can Send a letter to General Wei Wu!"

A few chills and sarcasm flashed in Murong Hua's deep eyes. He gently picked the corners of his mouth, which seemed a little careless, and then said, "Now I know the pain of losing my child. What does it feel like when others lose their bones and flesh?"

The first lady's body stiffened and her expression froze, "What does the Prime Minister mean?"

Murong Hua picked up the wolf and looked at the eldest lady faintly. "Do you need me to remind you of one thing, madam?"

The old lady's face turned pale in an instant. "Even if my concubine has done a lot of wrong things, Xuan'er is innocent. He is also the prime minister's flesh and blood. Does the prime minister have tolerance?"

Murong Hua smiled sarcastically, "If the lady pleaded for this matter, she asked the wrong person! Isn't he my flesh and blood? Isn't it better, madam?

The old lady's face was as pale as paper. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Murong Hua in disbelief, "You... Do you know? How is that possible?"

Murong Hua restrained her smile, and her eyes were so cold that there was no emotion. "How did your brother and sister design with me back then? Do you think I didn't notice it at all?"

The eldest lady fell to the ground as if she had lost all her strength. She looked at Murong Hua feebly, "So did you do it all to punish me? I have been trembling every day for more than 20 years, but I never wanted to be like a jumping clown in your eyes. Murong Hua, you are really a good plan!"

............

"Is the Prime Minister really willing to see me?" The third aunt looked at the maid who came to send the message with a surprised face, "Come on, reward!"

The maid returned the broken silver rewarded by the third aunt and said coldly, "The third aunt should clean up quickly. The prime minister is still waiting!"

The third aunt also faintly saw something wrong from the maid's face, and asked carefully, "But what happened?"

The maid bowed her head and said, "I don't know, and my aunt will naturally know when she goes!"

After the third aunt groomed up, Fangcai followed the maid to the hall. Entering the hall, she looked at Murong Hua sitting in the upper seat, the eldest lady sitting in the lower seat, Murong Xun and the new fifth aunt. She turned her eyes around. She knew that Murong Shan had come back, because the Prime Minister did not allow her to see anyone, but this time she did not see her daughter, and she was a little more suspicious. "I've met the Prime Minister, madam!"

After Murong Hua picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, she looked at her third aunt faintly, "Sit down!" After seeing the third aunt sitting down, Murong Hua continued to say, "I just ask everyone to come here today, but there are some things that need to be clear!" He took a look at Murong Xun and said, "Xuan'er!"

Murong Xun nodded, got up, glanced at the first lady and the third aunt with cold eyes, raised his chin slightly, and said coldly, "Today is mainly for the murder of my mother eight years ago!"

With the white face of the third aunt and the pretending of the eldest lady, Murong Xun squeezed out a cold range at the corners of his mouth and cast a look at Yingge. Yingge was ok and went out. In a short time, he brought an elderly woman.

The woman knelt on the ground and said, "The old slave has met the Prime Minister, Miss Five!"

Murong Xun glanced at the old woman on the ground, and then looked at Murong Hua and said, "Father, this is my daughter's wet nurse, Mother Chen!" Then he said to Mother Chen, "Mother Chen, you will tell me what happened back then!"

After Chen's mother kowtowed her head, she got up and said with tears, "The Prime Minister, the fourth aunt is wronged!" At that time, the fourth aunt did not have an affair with anyone. Someone deliberately framed her! At that time, the fourth aunt received a letter, so she went to the hut where she was caught committing adultery. At that time, it was the old slave who accompanied the fourth aunt, but on the way, she was temporarily called away by the eldest lady's Chuntao, and then such a thing came out!"

The first lady patted the armrest of the chair, got up and pointed to Chen's mother and scolded, "Well, you naughty slave, I know that Chuntao is not with me at this moment, and I have just wronged my wife. In the end, it is suitable for my intention! Prime Minister, this tricky slave was caught by my concubine for stealing. My concubine once punished her, so I hold a grudge against my concubine. Please be my concubine's decision!"

Murong Hua's face was still pale. Instead of looking at the eldest lady, he looked at Murong Xun and said, "Xun'er, go on!"

Murong Xun nodded, took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed it to Murong Hua. He said, "This is the handwritten letter before the death of Chen and Hui Niang, the two slaves who were served by their mother. The letter said how they received the instructions of the eldest lady to frame their mother!"

Murong Hua's eyes are getting darker and darker, and her expression is getting more and more condensed.

The first lady stared at Murong Xun fiercely and said, "How could Chen and Hui Niang write this letter before they die?" Is it related to their death to you?

Murong Xun smiled gently and said, "Chen and Hui Niang committed suicide. This is what everyone has seen with their own eyes!"

He glanced at the first lady, and Murong Xun clapped his hands again. Soon after, he saw a man with a beard and a long scar on his face.

The old lady's face turned white. How could it be? Didn't there be a message that this man had been silenced?

Murong Xun circled around the man and said faintly, "Why is the old lady's face so bad? Does the old lady still remember this person?

The eldest lady shook her sleeves and sat down, "How do I know this person?"

Murong Xun said, "But Xun'er is very impressed with this person. I think my mother's life was buried in the hands of this person. If it hadn't been for my mother's desperate rescue, Xun'er would have become the soul under this person's knife!"

When the Chinese character heard the words, he immediately kowtowed and admitted his mistake, "Your excellency, please spare your life!" The villain was also instructed by others in those years. He didn't want to hurt the lives of his wife and young lady. Please forgive him!"

"Who is instructed by?" Murong Xun leaned over and said coldly in his ear.

The man shivered and said, "In those years, a lady came and gave a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to the villain, and asked the villain to rob a person!"

Murong Xun pointed to the first lady and asked, "But this lady?"

The man said, "That lady is covered with a veil. The villain doesn't know! It's just that the maid beside the lady is very beautiful. After seeing the lady for the first time, she came into contact with the maid! However, the villain was also punished later. After that, the villain not only did not receive the promised remaining treasure, but was hunted down. The stockade was gone, and the brothers also died. In desperation, the villain hid his name and escaped the disaster!"

"If that maid comes, can you recognize her?"

"I can recognize it!"

Murong Xun straightened up and looked at Yingge. Yingge went out again. Before long, he saw Yingge coming in with Yan Yu. They were followed by a woman, who was Chuntao.

Yan Yu stepped forward a few steps, blessed Murong Hua and Murong Xun, and said, "Miss's guess is really right. Chuntao was really chased and killed at home. If it hadn't been for the time when the maidservant went, Chuntao would have suffered misfortune!"

Chuntao knelt down and said, "I've seen the Prime Minister!" She raised her eyes and looked at the eldest lady with resentment, "Madam is so cruel!"
