When the Seventh Prince said that An Lingge was traitorous, the Emperor naturally did not believe it.
Putting aside the fact that An Lingge was a woman within a woman, how could she come into contact with the spies of the Qingyue Kingdom, just based on her identity and status, there was no reason for her to betray the nation.
However, in the midst of the battle between the Qingyue Kingdom and the Great Zhou, An Lingge was actually hoarding medicinal herbs. Adding to the heavy soldiers in her hands, these two Duke Palaces had even personally issued an imperial decree bestowing marriage, if An Lingge was doing something for the Prince Mu’s Palace …
"What King Mu said is reasonable, but in the end, it was because of Xiao Qi's recklessness that this matter was fooled. Furthermore, he almost wronged Miss An, so I will punish Xiao Qi with a month's salary, so that he won't always listen to the slanderous words of the villains and wrongly accuse the good."
"Your son …"
Seventh Prince still wanted to defend himself, but the Emperor merely glanced over with a dangerous glint in his eyes, causing Seventh Prince to be unable to say anything else he was already prepared for.
"Your son will definitely remember today's lesson well, and won't let this Royal Father worry about this son."
Since he was able to fight on equal footing with the crown prince, he was naturally a smart person as well. He wouldn't go against the emperor.
Only then did the emperor smile in satisfaction, his face full of warmth. "A misunderstanding needs to be solved."
The ministers in the audience agreed. Some of them even started to praise the Emperor for his brilliance.
An Yingcheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, while Prince Mu frowned.
Logically speaking, this matter should have been between the Prince An and himself, but the Emperor suddenly asked him, could it be that he suspected that the Prince Mu’s Palace was related to this matter?
He was shocked, and felt more and more that this speculation was the Emperor's true intention.
Having been an official in the imperial court for many years, the Prince Mu was naturally aware of the Emperor's suspicious personality.
Some of them were even the political enemies of the Prince Mu, and when they looked at the Prince Mu, their eyes were filled with other emotions.
Imperial Consort Yi's father stood among the crowd of officials, a complacent smile surfacing on her white and chubby face.
A few days ago, his daughter was bullied by Hereditary Prince Mu at the palace, and he was just worrying about how strong her Prince Mu’s Palace was, so he couldn't take revenge for his daughter.
Taking advantage of the emperor's suspicion of Prince Mu’s Palace, he had sent someone to spread rumors, making the emperor more and more cautious against Prince Mu’s Palace. At that time, he would gather some evidence of Prince Mu's intention to rebel, which was to prevent the emperor from ordering the execution of Prince Mu’s Palace, and also allow the emperor to hand over the military power to the emperor.
The Prince Mu’s Palace without power was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, who would be afraid of it?
The matters of the palace were temporarily not spread to the Prince Mu’s Palace, but Mu Junhan already knew about the matter of Seventh Prince going to the Prince An's Palace to question An Lingge.
When Shu Mo stood in front of Mu Junhan, he would vividly describe what was happening within the Prince An's Palace.
"If I had to tell you, Miss An is truly a strange person. If an ordinary girl were to be questioned by Seventh Prince, she would probably be so scared that she would say everything. No matter how much Seventh Prince threatened and threatened her, she was unwilling to speak of the truth.
Mu Junhan thought about An Lingge's calm and indifferent appearance, but in reality, her heart was ruthless and fierce. A trace of a smile flashed past her eyes.
That girl wasn't being stubborn. She was scheming against that troublesome concubine of hers.
Hearing Shu Mo's words, Mu Junhan could guess what An Lingge was thinking. It was to use this matter to expose the intentions of the Aunt Li, and tear apart her fake mask.
Moreover, that Madam Li was only able to have her status in the Prince An's Palace because the Imperial Noble Consort Li was her sister. An Lingge had already made An Yingcheng understand that even if the Imperial Noble Consort Li was the sister of the same mother as her, the Seventh Prince would not treat the Prince An's Palace kindly on the basis of relatives.
She had to plant this kind of impression on An Yingcheng's heart bit by bit, so that An Yingcheng wouldn't have to worry about the Imperial Noble Consort Li and favor both his mother and daughter.
Normally, he hated this kind of girl who was deeply scheming. He didn't know why, but after knowing that An Lingge had schemed against Aunt Li, he felt that this girl was extremely clever and adorable.
Mu Junhan shook his head, suppressing the emotion in his heart, "did find out about the things that haven't been found out yet."
His people had been investigating who was secretly hoarding the medicinal ingredients, but there was no result even after a long period of investigation.
If not for Seventh Prince coming over to interrogate him, he would have already come back to report the news. Until now, he did not know that the person behind the scenes was actually his own fiancee.
Shu Mo knew that Mu Junhan was unhappy, he scolded Dark Guard for not being able to handle the situation, and immediately knelt in front of Mu Junhan to plead for mercy, "Calm down Hereditary Prince, it's really because the way Miss An does things is too secretive, it's impossible for our people to go and check all the patients in the capital one by one, that's why we couldn't find out."
"As for that Seventh Prince, the reason he got the information was because what the Aunt Li sent people to tell him was not what he found out himself."
They had spies in the Prince An's Palace, when the people of Aunt Li went to the Seventh Prince Palace, they received the news, but they did not expect at the time, that the Aunt Li was actually plotting against An Lingge for this matter.
Mu Junhan's lips raised into a smile, that smile made Shu Mo shudder.
It's over, Hereditary Prince must be angry to laugh so coldly!
"The information that the Aunt Li can obtain, is actually something that none of them know. When the time comes, we can withdraw those people and have them go to the Discipline Hall to receive their punishment. "
If Hereditary Prince said this, then there was no room for discussion.
Shu Mo disappointedly nodded, "Yes, this servant will give the orders in a while."
"No, first follow me to the Prince An's Palace."
Why would he go to Prince An's Palace?
Their shadow guards had failed because of An Lingge's scolding, and their shadows had been punished because of An Lingge. Hereditary Prince was actually complaining about that woman, it truly was a beauty that brought disaster upon people like them who were by Hereditary Prince's side!
Shu Mo had a bitter face, as if he had just eaten Huang Lian. However, he only furrowed his brows, and didn't dare to retort. In his heart, however, he started to hate An Lingge.
Mu Junhan naturally did not come to find An Lingge to talk about love, it was just because he felt that there was some hidden secret behind An Lingge's hoarding of medicinal ingredients, and wanted to ask An Lingge about it.
That girl had put in so much effort in thinking of ways to store the medicinal ingredients. How could it be just to make medicinal food for the madame?
