After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Liu Yuefu rode in a gorgeous sedan chair with no screen, only a light veil and a pattern of lychee flowers painted in gold, with a three-brimmed umbrella on her head. A band of nearly 50 people played music in front of her to lead the way. The people on the road pointed at Liu Yuefu in the sedan chair, or whispered to each other about the marriage between Liu Yuefu and King Jing.

Liu Yuefu returned to the Liu family surrounded by everyone.

One month later, it was the wedding day of Liu Yuefu and King Jing.

Liang Jiuan was dressed in red that day, riding a white horse in radiant glory. The wedding procession behind him was as many as four to five thousand people, which was a very grand occasion.

Liang Jiuan used wild geese, money and silk as betrothal gifts, and brought his team to the Liu family to marry the bride.

Liu Yuefu wore a crown with kingfisher tassels and dragon and phoenix flowers on her head, and a bright red wedding dress embroidered with long-tailed pheasants. She sat in a sedan chair with pearl curtains hanging down, and under the leadership of Liang Jiuan, she headed towards Prince Jing's Mansion.

When the bride's welcoming party arrived at Prince Jing's mansion, a nine-lamp banquet was held as a reward from His Majesty.

During the banquet, everyone was toasting and looking around, everyone present was either a royal relative, a noble family, or a high-ranking official. Everyone ate and drank, played drinking games, and played pot-throwing games, and everyone was having a great time.

In the bridal chamber of Prince Jing's mansion, as soon as Liu Yuefu entered the room, she arranged for Hua Ling and Chun Tao to go and bring people to monitor and control the movements of those who had contact with Kang Miaoqing.

Only after Hua Ling and Chun Tao left did Liu Yuefu breathe a sigh of relief.

Yueqing handed me some pastries and I ate something with my tea.

The banquet was halfway through its lively celebration when we heard that some children were playing in the mud and discovered a few wooden figures.

When the emperor heard about this, he was immediately furious.

The emperor came to the place where the wooden man was found in a threatening manner, accompanied by the empress, Concubine Wan and Concubine Ning. Behind them were many nobles who were watching the fun.

When the emperor arrived, the two children knew that they might have done something wrong, but they were only four or five years old, and they stood there with wrinkled faces and lowered heads in grievance, not daring to say a word.

"What's the matter with this wooden man?" asked the emperor.

No one answered, only silence.

The nanny next to the two children had no choice but to touch the two children.

Both children had tears in their eyes, and they didn't seem to know how these wooden figures could attract such a terrifying character.

One of the older children in purple clothes bravely said, "We just heard from a boy that there were toys buried here, so we came here to dig."

The child continued tremblingly, "...but just after we dug it out for a while, a woman came and stopped us from digging and dragged us away. I went to find my mother and told her about it, but she said we couldn't leave, and if we left, there would be no way to explain it clearly. It wasn't us who did it."

"Search, call all the servants here to identify these two children." The emperor ordered in a cold voice.

“Also, quickly seal the gate of Prince Jing’s Mansion. No outsiders are allowed to enter or leave the Mansion until this matter is clarified.” The emperor gave the order coldly.

When the emperor thought that this might have been done by his beloved fifth prince, he felt chilled to the bone.

"You, go and call King Jing." The emperor then said to a eunuch beside him.

"Yes." The eunuch took the order and left.

Not long after, he came with King Jing Liang Jiuan.

Liang Jiuan immediately noticed the several wooden men lying in the mud pit on the garden walkway. Are these objects to ward off evil?

Liang Jiuan's pupils contracted instantly. Oh no, someone was trying to harm him.

She actually took advantage of his wedding when the house was busy, what a clever move.

"Dad, this talisman has nothing to do with me." Liang Jiuan explained.

The emperor glanced at him coldly, which made Liang Jiuan feel cold all over.

There are no fathers and sons in heaven.

"Search, search the entire Prince Jing's Mansion." The emperor ordered the personal guards he brought with him this time.

The guards took the order and left.

At this time, the eunuch came towards this side with a large group of servants.

The leading eunuch reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, these are all the servants in Prince Jing's mansion."

"Bring your child here to recognize the owner." The official said to the two maids beside the child.

The maids then led the children to identify people one by one. There were more than a hundred servants in Prince Jing's mansion. It took a lot of time to identify them one by one, but they found nothing.

The kids shook their heads at each one.

How could this happen?

At the same time, on the other side of the rockery, a lady was admiring the flowers, but she unexpectedly saw a hand, a human hand.

She screamed and reported it to the aunt in charge of Prince Jing's mansion in horror.

The aunt in charge then went to find Concubine Ning and brought her here.

The head aunt whispered to Concubine Ning, "A noble lady found a body next to the rockery flowers."

Concubine Ning frowned unhappily. This was her son's wedding day. What was going on?

But she could only cheer herself up and said to the emperor: "Sir, the head aunt in the palace said that a noble lady over there found a body."

"Let's go and take a look." The emperor walked away.

Suddenly, he thought of something and said to the nanny of the two children, "You can bring your children along."

In this way, everyone arrived at the rockery and flowers. It happened that most of the dignitaries in the capital were in Prince Jing's Mansion today.

Officials from the Dali Temple were naturally present as well.

The emperor saw Li Jianzhang at a glance and said, "Li Sizheng, come and take a look."

Li Jianzhang carried the body out and put it on the ground. After a rough inspection, he said to His Majesty: "The deceased should have died not long ago. No more than two hours ago."

"The cause of death was a knife wound in the chest," Li Jianzhang continued.

When the emperor saw that the man was dressed as a servant, he sighed in his heart, fearing that it was this man who asked the child to dig the soil.

"Bring your child here to be recognized," said the emperor.

The children were afraid and refused to come forward, so the maids had to hold them and coax them to take a look.

After the children took a look, their little bodies began to tremble. One of them hugged the nanny's neck and whispered, "Mammy, this is the boy."

The nanny said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, my young master said it was this young man."

The emperor shook his head. If that was the case, he was indeed a step too slow. The real murderer had already killed the witness to silence him.

Now this clue is interrupted.

So the emperor took everyone back to the place where the wooden man was buried before.

The emperor gave Li Jianzhang a look, and Li Jianzhang leaned over to take a closer look at the wooden men. He was very familiar with the handwriting on the wooden men.

"Sir, these are just wooden figures made of ordinary pine wood. The material can be found everywhere and is not worth pursuing," Li Jianzhang replied.

Soon, the guards sent by the emperor came back, holding many identical wooden men in their hands.

"Reporting to the emperor, we found most of these wooden figures in King Jing's bedroom and study."
