Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Li Mu disagreed, "Father, Pang Ming is your confidant and hid the things in the Li family's farm. Even if you didn't know the situation and executed first and reported later, wouldn't His Majesty doubt you?"

Uncle Li has been with Emperor Kangping for such a long time, almost from childhood to now.

Emperor Kangping understood Li Guojiu, and Li Guojiu also understood Emperor Kangping.

As long as he has no intention of rebelling, the Li family will remain rich and prosperous.

As long as the prince's position is stable and he successfully ascends to the throne, it will be the most stable and safest for the Li family.

But once the line is crossed, the Li family will be in a passive position and can never go back.

"Asshole, don't ever say such treasonous words again! The Li family is where they are today because of His Majesty's grace, so don't ever have any rebellious thoughts."

At Li Guojiu's age, he no longer has many ambitions and only wants wealth and glory.

After all, his sister is the queen and his nephew is the prince.

Instead of fighting for that little possibility, it is better to enjoy the current wealth and glory.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Guojiu made a prompt decision, "I will go to the palace to apologize!"

Watching his father leave in a hurry, Li Mu looked up, quite disappointed.

"Young Master, are we still going on?" A middle-aged man in his forties beside Li Mu asked in a low voice.

If the master had no intention of rebelling and only the eldest son was there, there would be no chance of success.

Li Mu obviously knew this. Pang Ming's death would make His Majesty suspicious, but for the sake of the prince, His Majesty would not touch the Li family, but would be suspicious of the Li family.

In fact, since Your Majesty has only one son, the Crown Prince, it has no substantial impact on the Li family, but it can arouse the father's suspicion, making him think that Your Majesty will harm him, and thus he will begin to have rebellious intentions.

"Go do it!" Li Mu made a prompt decision and did not miss this good opportunity.

"Yes, sir!" the middle-aged man responded and left in a hurry.

When Li Guojiu entered the palace, he did not see Emperor Kangping. When he learned that His Majesty had gone to the Jinlinwei Yamen, he hurried over.

At this time, Emperor Kangping arrived at the Tianlao and wanted to question Pang Ming in person, but he did not see Pang Ming. He only saw Pang Ming hanged with his belt in the prison.

Seeing this, Xu Cheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty!"

Emperor Kangping had a blank expression on his face and a cold gleam in his eyes.

Someone reached out to Jinlinwei!

Emperor Kang Ping's voice was not loud, but it sent a chill down Xu Cheng's spine. "There are rats in Jinlinwei. It's time to clean them up."

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will conduct a thorough investigation and find out the murderer of Pang Ming." Xu Cheng answered respectfully, feeling angry in his heart.

If you dare to put your hands into Jinlinwei, don’t blame Xu Cheng for being cruel and ruthless!

When Emperor Kangping came out of the Jinlinwei Yamen, he met Uncle Li who was waiting outside.

When Li Guojiu saw His Majesty, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I acted first and reported later. I did not report the Ning Wang treasure. I just wanted to wait for confirmation before reporting. Pang Ming was following the orders of this humble minister to find the Ning Wang treasure. Please understand clearly, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Kangping was slightly startled when he saw Li Guojiu kneeling down. "If that's the case, Pang Ming only needs to explain the situation and wait for his fate. Why did he hang himself in prison?"

"Pang Ming hanged himself?" When Li Guojiu heard this, his face changed drastically and he thought of his eldest son Li Mu!

This traitor!

Although Li Guojiu guessed it, he couldn't say it. After all, that was the heir he had been training for many years.

Li Guojiu continued to kowtow and explain, "Your Majesty is wise, I have no intention of being disloyal, someone must have framed me, please Your Majesty, I will clear my name."

Emperor Kangping had cold eyes but a warm face, and he personally helped Uncle Li up.

"Zhengde, you and I have known each other for many years. We were good friends even before I ascended the throne. You are loyal to me. No one would betray me except you!"

Hearing this, Li Guojiu burst into tears and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. From now on, I will report to Your Majesty about everything I do and will never act on my own."

"Pang Ming would not commit suicide. Someone must have murdered him. This is an attempt to sow discord between me and Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please understand clearly."

Emperor Kangping replied in a deep voice: "Of course I will investigate clearly. If you use such means on Jinlin Guard, I will also investigate thoroughly."

Uncle Li was worried, but he could only bite the bullet at this time. He hoped that his son would not be too rough, and would be more careful so as not to leave any handle.

Watching Emperor Kangping leaving, Uncle Li also left in a hurry to deal with the follow-up.

When I got home, only Uncle Li and his son Li Mu were in the study.

Li Guojiu raised his hand and slapped Li Mu on the face, "Asshole, do you know that you acted on your own today and almost made His Majesty suspect that I had rebellious intentions?"

Li Mu was beaten to the point of bleeding at the corner of his mouth, but he was not angry. "Father, even if you told His Majesty that you would kill first and report later, His Majesty might not believe you. So I devised a plan to have Pang Ming killed and put the blame on Marquis Changning. This way, we can fish in troubled waters and get away with it."

Uncle Li, who was originally very angry, thought carefully and suddenly felt that his son's method was brilliant.

"In the future, when you do things, you must discuss with me and not make decisions on your own." Uncle Li did not continue to scold Li Mu. Thinking of what happened today, he was terrified.

Forty-five million taels of silver, the tax for Kangguo for three years.

If he had known so much earlier, Uncle Li would not have dared to keep it privately!

Li Mu secretly regretted that he had not acted carefully and had lost 45 million taels of silver in vain.

If it is his, great success will be just around the corner.

In the evening, Emperor Kangping received Xu Cheng's investigation results.

Xu Cheng didn't believe it, and Emperor Kangping didn't believe it either. Between Marquis Changning and Uncle Li, they would rather believe that Uncle Li killed people to silence them.

Pang Ming will not have a good ending anyway, and the shrewd Marquis Changning has no need to do something thankless and taboo.

In the evening, Changning Marquis Zhou Ze returned home.

"Yunniang, go to your mother's house for dinner tonight." Marquis Changning chuckled and reached out to help Song go to Songhe Garden.

"Okay!" Song was stunned, chuckled and nodded, but did not extend her hand. She walked in front with light lotus steps.

Marquis Changning withdrew his embarrassed hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

When they arrived at Songhe Garden and were having dinner, Marquis Changning whispered, "Pang Ming is dead!"

The old lady and Song looked at each other and asked, "You did it?"

"No, I just found some clues about Prince Ning's treasure. Pang Ming and Li Guojiu wanted to hide the treasure, and I told Jin Linwei about it. The Li family killed them to silence them." Marquis Changning replied.

The old lady took a deep breath and said, "The Li family is planning to rebel! We have to be on guard!"

"Don't worry, mother. I know what I'm doing." Marquis Changning chuckled.

Even if the crown prince died, there were still several princes in the royal family, and these princes had many sons. How could it be the Li family's turn?

For the sake of Changning Marquis' Mansion, the Li family must not be allowed to succeed.

After Pang Ming died, Marquis Changning asked Lai Yun to go to Zhuangzi in person to tell Zhou Jin and Gu Xiling the whole story.

When Gu Xiling heard that Pang Ming was dead, she had the same reaction as the old lady, and even more cleverly, "Sir, be careful when you meet Li Mu next time. He has rebellious intentions now!"

Zhou Jin was suspicious, "Xi Ling, Li Mu and the prince grew up together, almost eating and sleeping together, and have a deep relationship. If anyone has any rebellious intentions, he shouldn't have any rebellious intentions either!"

Gu Xiling chuckled, her silly husband!

Do you think that everyone else is as loyal to the emperor and patriotic as he is, concerned about the country and the people, and values ​​friendship and righteousness?

Do you think anyone can suppress their desire for that high and mighty position?
