After rebirth, I pampered the crazy villains

"Does the emperor think the prince was framed?" Chen Jieyu asked softly.

The emperor paused and looked back at her. "What? Do you think those tragedies were done by the prince?"

Concubine Chen smiled and hugged the emperor's neck, lying on his back.

"Emperor, I have no contact with the prince and dare not make any judgments about my character. However, I always feel that as the crown prince of a country, if His Highness can't share your worries for you, it will only cause trouble, that is, he is a great unfilial piety Now.”

Chen Jieyu's words seemed to have entered the emperor's heart.

He didn't say anything, just thought silently.

The next morning court, under pressure from all sides, the emperor ordered Xiao Yujue to be removed from his power to supervise the country and put him under house arrest in the prince's mansion. No one could meet.

The news spread, but did not satisfy the families of the victims. They still refused to restore order in the capital to normal.

The people in the capital were deeply hurt and began to complain and hate Xiao Yujue. The entire capital was filled with haze and rumors were everywhere.

Shangguan Wanning looked at the food on the table and suddenly lost her appetite.

"Miss, just eat some." The nanny in charge sighed softly, "I also know that you can't get used to these vulgar foods. But now the capital is in chaos and I want to get some Fresh vegetables and meat, it's too difficult."

Shangguan Wanning's heart couldn't help but sink. "Is it really difficult to do this?"

"That's not it." The nanny in charge spread her hands and said she was helpless. "I heard that the girl found in the Prince's House is the pearl in the palm of the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. I heard that this person has been doing business for generations and has wealth in his family. Rich is as good as a country.”

"He was not only in the capital, but also in other wealthy places, and had close contact with people in the world. He secretly monopolized the transportation channels of water and land, causing the capital to fall into a food crisis."

Shangguan Wanning had heard of this president. Although the people have not fought with officials since ancient times, people like him must have supported him in the court. Otherwise, how could they do things so utterly?

"Miss, if you don't want to eat vegetables, just drink a bowl of soup." Lutong put a bowl of soup to Shangguan Wanning and handed it over.

Shangguan Wanning just took a few sips and then put them down again. She returned to the room and wrote a letter, asking Lutong to take it out and hand it over to Mu Jingrui.

The two made an appointment to meet at the Green Willow Pavilion by the West Lake in the city.

Shangguan Wanning waited for an hour before Mu Jingrui rushed over.

"Why did you come?"

Seeing Shangguan Wanning getting angry, Mu Jingrui stepped forward and held her hand and said softly: "Sorry, there are too many things. Are you asking me out for His Royal Highness?"

"Um."

Shangguan Wanning was no longer angry and said seriously: "Jing Rui, do you still remember that Brother Huo said that these murders are related to the people of the Ling family."

"I know what you want to say."

After hearing Huo Gang's words, Mu Jingrui and Shangguan Wanning both suspected that Ling Ruiying was the murderer.

However, the night Xiao Yujue had an accident, according to time, when the girl was killed, Ling Ruiying was still in Yihong Building.

It is obvious that Ling Ruiying has no time to commit the crime.

"But besides the Ling family, I can't think of anyone in the current court who can arrange such a precise layout to frame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shangguan Wanning said with a frown.

"There is another thing, don't you think it's strange?" Mu Jingrui said with a serious expression, "Suppose that it was the Ling family who framed the Prince of the Crown Prince, then, what is their purpose? Even if the Prince really falls down

, What are the tangible benefits for the Ling family?"

Shangguan Wanning also thought about this question for a long time, but there was no answer.

The Empress herself has no offspring, and there is no situation in which the Ling family wants to support themselves.

unless……

A chill broke out on Shangguan Wanning's back.

"That day I left Yihonglou to investigate the abducted girl. I did lose track near the other courtyard of His Royal Highness the Prince. At that time... In addition to the people from the Ministry of Justice, there were also Ling Yuwen's people in the middle of the journey.

.”

"But according to my investigation, the person on duty that night was not Ling Yuwen at all. He joined later. However, he applied for an investigation into the case, so no one has ever suspected his appearance."

However, Mu Jingrui felt very suspicious.

"Jing Rui, what are you planning to do now?"

"I have sent someone to test Ling Yuwen."

Shangguan Wanning's eyes lit up. "How to test it?"

Mu Jingrui looked at the sky and smiled and said, "Anyway... I have a way. If you want to know, go and listen with me."

"good."

The two of them came to an inconspicuous teahouse together, and Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning into it.

In the private room, a woman in purple was already sitting.

She saw Mu Jingrui coming in, got up and saluted.

"How did you do what you asked you to do?"

The woman in purple slaps the wind with her handkerchief and mutters, showing a dissatisfied expression.

"Young Master, the person you asked me to test... I doubt whether he is a man. In the wilderness, a lonely man and a widow, let me do my best, he was not moved to touch me."

The woman in purple thought about it and seemed to have thought of something interesting, she covered her mouth and smiled. "And, I deliberately touched him, and there was no reaction at all."

Shangguan Wanning's face turned red with a flash.

She already understood the meaning of the woman in purple clothes.

"Okay, I understand."

Mu Jingrui took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve and handed it over. "Hold it, just pretend that what happened today has never happened, and you have never seen me."

The woman in purple took the silver and kissed her, and said happily: "Young master, there will be such a good thing next time, remember to come to me again."

After saying that, he threw a charming look at Mu Jingrui and twisted the water snake's waist and left.

"Did she mean that Ling Yuwen is not a woman at all?"

Mu Jingrui hesitated a little and nodded slightly.

This woman in purple was a courtesan whom he found from other places. She changed her clothes to the fireworks place, and she had a bit of a ladylike demeanor.

But even so, Ling Yuwen couldn't be moved.

"Is it... the murder case has nothing to do with the Ling family?"

Mu Jingrui couldn't say it for a moment. "No matter what, the Ling family father and son are all dangerous people. Remember, don't get close to you."

Shangguan Wanning also understood that she didn't have that good luck every time. She didn't want Mu Jingrui to worry.

"I know. Don't worry about doing your business, I will take good care of myself."
