After Prince Cheng rejected His Majesty's marriage proposal, he hurried to that small town. He planned to personally take Yun Ying's mother and Yun Ying back to Prince Cheng's mansion. He counted the days and found that the tea-picking girl should have given birth.
I was so happy that I didn't know whether the tea-picking girl had given birth to a boy or a beautiful girl.
But he didn't expect that his joy was in vain. The tea-picking girl had already disappeared with her child. Naturally, he was unwilling to return to the capital, and even fell seriously ill because of longing for him. There is absolutely no way Prince Cheng could be so fragile.
He was unconscious. Later, the old lady actually agreed to the marriage and took care of the whole wedding by herself. There was a wedding in the palace. How could Prince Cheng not hear about such a big event? Murong Xi suspected that Prince Cheng had been
If he falls asleep, the old lady must have tampered with her.
Feng Mingye understood what Murong Xi meant and said, "Do you suspect that the old lady has drugged Prince Cheng?"
"Prince Cheng refused his father's offer of marriage, and the old lady was naturally unwilling to accept it. Prince Cheng originally thought that he could take back the tea-picking girl, but the old lady would not compare with him after knowing that she was married. Who knew that Prince Cheng
She was so happy that the old lady could only ask His Majesty to grant another marriage. Knowing that Prince Cheng would definitely refuse to agree, the old lady fainted him and accepted the imperial decree of marriage without telling him, and waited until the wedding was over.
, and then gave the antidote to Prince Cheng. Seeing that the wood was already done, Prince Cheng would naturally let nature take its course. But the old lady did not expect that Prince Cheng would continue to investigate the whereabouts of the tea-picking girl." Murong Xi said.
"It seems that this matter is a bit troublesome." Feng Mingye said.
"Why?" Murong Xi asked.
"Princess Chengjun is the second daughter of the Prime Minister and the biological sister of Concubine Yun." Feng Mingye said.
"Even if she is the King of Heaven, I have nothing to do with her. If she really did it, she will be handed over to Prince Cheng. If Prince Cheng doesn't handle it, I can't send Yun Ying back." Murong Xi said.
Murong Xi knew very well that if Princess Cheng was not dealt with, Yun Ying would not have an easy life in the future. Even if Princess Cheng was nice to Yun Ying on the surface, she would secretly plot against Yun Ying.
"Are you worried that Princess Chengjun will bully Yun Ying? In fact, you have met Yun Ying and know that she is not a simple girl. Otherwise, do you think she can avoid picking up guests? How could Yanyulou's mother let go of such a good opportunity to make money?
?" Feng Mingye said.
"I don't want her to escape the fire pit, only to fall into the tiger's mouth again." Murong Xi said.
"You girl, you really don't want to see others being bullied. Don't worry, with Prince Cheng here, who dares to bully Yun Ying?" Feng Mingye said.
"A woman who can successfully become Princess Cheng, do you think she would be stupid enough to humiliate Yun Ying in front of the prince?" Murong Xi said.
Feng Mingye didn't say anything because he knew that Murong Xi was very measured in his actions. Even if something happened, wouldn't he still be there?
When the carriage arrived at Hades' Mansion, Murong Xi had already fallen asleep. Feng Mingye smiled and picked up Murong Xi and got off the carriage, carrying Murong Xi back to the mansion along the way.
After Prince Cheng returned to the palace, he went directly to the study. Prince Cheng had not done this for a long time. The princess was a little confused, so she went to the study with the bird's nest.
When Prince Cheng heard the knock on the door, he collected the things Murong Xi gave her and let the princess in.
"Your Majesty, why are you still working in the study so late?" the princess said, putting down the bird's nest.
"Madam, you are interested. You can go back first. I will go back after eating the bird's nest." Prince Cheng said.
"Yes." The princess said and left.
Although the princess was doubtful, she did not continue to ask so as not to arouse Prince Cheng's doubts. After leaving the study, she returned to the main courtyard to prepare for rest.
Prince Cheng opened the drawer, took out the pieces of paper and continued to read. He did not expect that what Murong Xi gave him was so shocking. It turned out that his wife had already done something to stop him more than ten years ago.
The people continued to investigate. He simply couldn't believe that his wife had already known the whereabouts of Yun Ying and the tea-picking girl, and had been sending people to monitor their mother and daughter. He did not expect that the gentle and gentle lady who had been sleeping with him for many years would be like this.
Cruel. Yanyu Tower is run by her nephew, how could she hide it from his eyes? I didn’t expect that she would be so cruel and send his daughter to Yanyu Tower.
Prince Cheng burned a few pieces of paper Murong Xi gave her, looked at the bird's nests on the side, poured the bird's nests away, and then returned to the main courtyard.
Early the next morning, Prince Cheng went to the study again.
"Do you still remember what I arranged for you to investigate more than ten years ago?" Prince Cheng said.
"Of course I remember." A man in black replied.
"Tell me again what happened back then." Prince Cheng asked.
After the man responded, he told Prince Cheng again what happened that year. After they heard about the whereabouts of Yun Ying and her daughter, they went to Yun Ying's mother and daughter's home, but found that Yun Ying's mother and daughter's home was empty. They asked
After meeting their neighbors, they found out that Yun Ying and her daughter had passed away one after another and were buried in the back mountain. They went to the back mountain to confirm and then came back to resume their lives.
Prince Cheng had asked Yun Ying before where they lived, and it was not at all the county where they were investigated.
Besides himself, the only person who knew about his secret investigation was Madam. Could it be that Madam was really worried that she would find Yun Ying and her daughter, so she made arrangements in advance. When his people found that place
, pretending to be neighbors and being bribed, they will naturally tell their people as promised before.
"Master, is there something wrong with what happened back then?" the man in black asked.
"The place you found back then was not the place where Yun Ying and her daughter lived at all. They had never lived in that place. The neighbor you asked about was just bribed," Prince Cheng said.
"Master, are the madam and young lady still alive?" the man in black asked in surprise.
"The lady is still alive, but the madam is gone. Because I arranged for you to investigate what happened back then, so I have never had any doubts. I should let you continue the investigation, and you should not stop here." Prince Cheng said.
"Master, do you suspect that one of us has betrayed our master?" the man in black asked nervously.
"No, I have never doubted you. You are not the one with the problem. Please step back and don't mention this matter to anyone." Prince Cheng said.
"Yes." The man in black responded and left.
"Butler, where is the madam?" Prince Cheng asked.
"Your Majesty, the princess has just left the palace." The housekeeper said in a low voice.
"Leaving the mansion? Going out at this time?" Prince Cheng asked.
"Sir, the princess only has Suying with her," the housekeeper said.
"I understand." Prince Cheng waved his hand and said.
When the housekeeper saw that Prince Cheng wanted to close his eyes and rest his mind, he withdrew.
Princess Chengjun in the main courtyard was not idle either. When she saw Prince Cheng going to the study again, she seemed to feel that something was not simple, so she secretly left the house while Prince Cheng did not come back.
It turned out that she went to her eldest brother's house, and after seeing her nephew, she asked, "Jingxian, where did that woman go after she left Yanyu Tower?"
"Didn't you say that she was taken away by the government? I'm afraid she's in jail now," Jingxian said.
"Are you saying that the last time the government came to arrest someone, they never sent her back after they took her away?" Princess Chengjun asked.
"Auntie, it is precisely because of this that I asked my mother to hand over her deed of betrayal to the eldest young master of the Leng family. Otherwise, how could I let her leave Yanyu Tower?" Jingxian said.
"What if the eldest young master of the Leng family spends money to get her out of prison?" Princess Chengjun said.
"Auntie, I heard that she killed someone. How dare the government violate the law under the emperor's feet? No matter how much money the Leng family has, they cannot ignore the law," Jing Xian said.
"Where are her personal belongings? Has Yanyulou's mother stayed?" Princess Chengjun asked.
"Don't worry. Whenever someone ransoms the lives of the girls, my mother will not give them back the things they brought. I think my mother must be greedy for money and hide the jade plaque." Jingxian said.
"Hurry up and tell your mother to smash that jade token to pieces. I feel something is wrong. Your uncle has been very worried since he came back from the palace yesterday. You also know that the eldest young master of the Leng family is very close to His Highness Pluto.
If the eldest young master of the Leng family tells His Highness Pluto about this, your uncle will definitely know." Princess Chengjun said nervously.
"Aunt, don't worry. I will give the order right now. Even if the eldest young master of the Leng family is very close to His Highness Pluto, His Highness Pluto will not care about it. Besides, yesterday at the palace banquet, my uncle and His Highness Pluto met alone.
Have you met?" Jingxian said.
"We didn't meet alone, but your uncle suddenly felt unwell and stayed in the side hall for a while. When I woke up, I found something was wrong with him. After returning home last night, I went into the study." Princess Chengjun
said.
"It stands to reason that even if His Highness Hades wanted to tell uncle about this yesterday, he wouldn't have had any chance," Jing Xian said.
"Have you dealt with what happened back then?" Princess Chengjun asked.
"That human trafficker left the capital a long time ago. Even if they really know about it, they still can't find him. It happened three or four years ago, so why should I worry?" Jingxian said.
"I was in a state of confusion just now, and I felt relieved after hearing what you said. You asked mother to deal with the jade plaque as soon as possible. I'll go back first so that your uncle won't find out." Princess Chengjun stood up and left.
Jingxian arranged for someone to go to Yanyu Tower and asked the person to tell his mother to take care of the jade plaque left by Yun Ying. At the same time, Jingxian asked the person to give her mother ten taels of gold as compensation.

"What? Master asked me to smash that jade sign?" After listening to the man's words, my mother couldn't hold the cup firmly and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong? It's just a jade plaque, so you can't bear to part with it? You don't want to think about how the master treats you badly, not to mention that the master has already given you ten taels of gold, what else do you want?" said the man.
"That's not what I meant. Don't worry, Master. I will destroy the jade token as instructed. I don't dare to take the reward from Master. This is what I should do." Mom said.
"The gold is given to you, just keep it," the man said.
After getting his mother's promise, the man put down the gold and left Yanyulou.
"Mom..." Cui'er looked at her mother worriedly and said.
"If you dare to tell me, I will tear your mouth off." Mom looked at Cui'er and said.
"Twee'er doesn't dare. Twee'er is just worried about her mother's safety." Twee'er said.
