After rebirth, he was pampered by the disabled prince.

Prime Minister Li laid out all the evidence one by one. The four of them were all loyal to the emperor. This matter involved the prince, so naturally he could not approach courtiers who had already taken sides or had biases.

The Minister of War picked up the arrow and inspected it carefully, "This is the arrow of the third prince. Although the arrow is taken care of by someone, no one can be sure that it will not be stolen and turned around."

The Young Minister of Dali Temple touched his chin, "The arrow may be a frame-up, but no one can get this flame lotus except the Seventh Prince."

The poison of Flame Lotus was only available to the royal family of the Western Regions. Twenty years ago, the Western Regions Princess married into the Lingnan Palace and gave birth to a son three years later.

Seven years later, the princess of the Western Regions died mysteriously. The Western Regions tore up the alliance and attacked Lingnan. The two countries fought for four years. It was not until six years ago that Yongyi Hou won a great victory and the Western Regions sued for peace and sent a large amount of gold and silver.

However, after this battle, Xiyu and Lingnan completely fell out of love, and the mutual trade they opened has been closed, and there has been no exchange of contacts for several years.

Therefore, not to mention the flame lotus that is only available to the royal family of the Western Regions, even ordinary Western Region poisons are not easy to obtain.

"Not necessarily." Prime Minister Li shook his head, "Besides, he is destined to miss the throne, so there is no need to make it so obvious."

"All the dead men are dead. The evidence on the surface points to the third prince and the seventh prince. If it weren't for them, could it be that he was directing and acting on his own?"

Several people looked at the commander of the Imperial Guard who was speaking and were speechless.

Prime Minister Li rubbed his forehead, "The flame lotus is no more poisonous than other poisons. Who can guarantee whether a beast is humane and willing to save people?"

Indeed, this flame lotus is too special. Even if there is a fire fox in Fumeng Mountain, who can guarantee that the fire fox will be caught within a limited time?

Even if he is caught, who can guarantee that Firefox will be willing to save people? After all, it is just an animal, not a human being, and it does not have human emotions and reason.

Therefore, even if it is self-directed and self-acted, it is impossible to use this poison.

"So now, no clue."

Prime Minister Li and others were worried about the assassination. On the other side, Yongyi Hou and his wife were also sighing about Mu Hanyan.

"Mother, since my sister already has a physical relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, she cannot be the main concubine due to her status, so she has to fight for the position of a side concubine. Otherwise, she will be too wronged."

Mu Xinghe leaned on the bed. Her face was still very pale, and the blood lotus on her neck had slowly faded away and would disappear soon.

The toxins have been cleared away, and all that remains is to meditate and cultivate.

Mrs. Yongyihou had already discussed it with Yongyihou in the study, so when she heard Mu Xinghe’s words, she just patted her hand gently and said, “Nanny, you are injured, so don’t worry too much about Yan’er. , we have our own arrangements.”

Mu Xinghe lowered his eyes slightly, then smiled, "Yeah."

Soon after Mu Xinghe fell asleep, Mu Hanyan ran over.

She woke up slowly, looked at Mu Hanyan who was pale and anxious, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Hanyan grabbed Mu Xinghe's hand and said through gritted teeth, "Sister, my father and mother are going to send me to the Guzi Temple."

Mu Hanyan has her own people. She knows about the conversation between Yongyi Hou and his wife in the study today, as well as Mu Xinghe's protection for her.

Marquis Yongyi and his wife planned to send her to the Guzi Temple before dawn, and then enter the palace, directly blocking her escape route. No matter how long she stayed as a nun, she would not be able to marry into the royal family again.

Mu Xinghe frowned slightly, looking surprised, "How could that happen?"

Then, as if she had thought of something, she showed a clear look and said, "Yan'er, do you know why I have never been engaged?"

The most beautiful woman in Lingnan, her name alone attracted countless people to her, not to mention her status as the only direct descendant of Yong Yihou.

However, she has never been engaged to anyone until now. If it is an ordinary woman, even the daughter of a high-ranking official, she will be engaged before she gets her hair, and she will get married after she gets her hair.

But she has already had her hair for a year and has not even decided to get married.

[That's because you want to marry the prince] Although Mu Hanyan was thinking this in her heart, she had a confused look on her face and said doubtfully, "Isn't it because mother wants to keep you for two more years?"

"No matter how much you stay, a woman will still get married." Mu Xinghe said this, but in fact she did not agree with this statement. If she had not fallen in love with Xiao Zhe in her previous life, she would not have taken the initiative to marry a stranger. .

Mu Xinghe continued, "My mother doesn't want to betrothed to me. It's not because no one wants to betrothed to me, but..." she said, pointing to the sky, "It depends on what he means, so do you understand? "

"I don't understand." Mu Hanyan really didn't understand. No matter in her previous life or in this life, she had only learned small tricks to please men. She didn't understand and wouldn't ask about court matters.

She has seen too much, not to mention that she wants to marry into the royal family and ascend to that supreme position. The harem is not allowed to participate in politics, and it is useless for her to learn.

With this idea, Mu Hanyan didn't know the twists and turns at all.

However, she has never thought that the so-called "not allowed to participate in political affairs" means that she cannot participate in political affairs. It does not mean that she does not understand political affairs. If she does not understand political affairs and cannot understand the court, she can survive in this cannibal harem by relying on the thoughts of her little daughter's family. how long?

Mu Xinghe sighed slightly and tapped Mu Hanyan's forehead, "You! Just sleep when I tell you to study."

She ordered, "Chun Xing, please stay safe outside and no one is allowed to come near."

Chun Xing responded, "Yes, big girl."

After Chun Xing waited for the maids to go out, Mu Xinghe slowly spoke, "My father is now a marquis, and he will be a king in the next step. But this world belongs to the Xiao family. Have you ever seen a king with a different surname? So my father can't make meritorious deeds, otherwise he will He will be the first king with a different surname in Lingnan, do you understand these four words, his achievements are so great that he surpasses his master?"

Marquis Yongyi is different from other marquises. The other marquises relied on the influence of their ancestors to inherit the title, but he obtained it with his own hands. If he makes great achievements again, he can only be crowned king.

Emperor Lingnan can give Marquis Yongyi the title of king, but he must ensure that he is loyal to the Xiao family and the emperor. Otherwise, once he is crowned king, he will become a serious problem for him.

Mu Hanyan nodded in understanding, "I know, so His Majesty the Emperor is suppressing your marriage. Does he want to marry you to the prince?"

Mu Xinghe really wanted to laugh. Mu Hanyan was really cruel, but stupid was also really stupid. At that time, she only thought she was innocent, but now she realized that she was stupid and vicious.

Mu Xinghe shook his head, "Of course not. If it was really that simple, I would have been the Crown Princess long ago, and now, I won't stop you from marrying into the East Palace."

Mu Hanyan was very shocked. She always thought that the emperor and the prince were kind to their father and filial to their son. "So, it's not my parents who don't allow me to marry, but the emperor?"

"That's right, you are the second girl of the Yongyi House. You represent the Yongyi House. When you marry the prince, it is equivalent to giving the help of the Yongyi House to the prince. Therefore, His Majesty will never allow such a thing to happen." Mu Xinghe sighed, "My parents are doing it for your own good, so they want to send you to the Guzi Temple."
