Therefore, the emperor will not punish the second prince.

Moreover, he will be rewarded for his first meritorious service!

After learning the ins and outs of everything, the emperor became so anxious that he almost passed out.

But even though Longyan was furious, the emperor did not lose his mind under the rage, and directly ordered the prince to be killed!

The emperor just imprisoned the empress and the prince separately, and sent everyone away, leaving only Mu Zheng behind, closed the door and said something.

At that time, the chaos inside and outside the palace was already turned upside down, and people were panicking!
However, such a loud wind did not blow into the Queen Mother's palace at all.

Perhaps it should be said that it didn't blow into Lin Youyi's ears.

The situation suddenly became serious, and Lin Youyi was not unaware of it.

But what exactly happened, and where did it go, Lin Youyi's eyes were really darkened.

Logically speaking, when things have come to this point, the only thing left is to deal with the aftermath.

However, before the emperor made it clear how to deal with the prince, he committed suicide under strict imprisonment!
Except for the emperor, no one would believe that the prince's temper would actually choose to commit suicide in desperation!

How can this be?

However, the emperor lost his parents and children, and under the grief, he couldn't afford to get sick.

All matters in the court hall were handed over to Mu Zheng to handle on his behalf.

Mu Zheng's thunderous method is decisive in killing!
Even though the prince is dead, none of the mistakes he made, the sins he committed, and the princeling courtiers who are working for tigers in daily life, can't escape.

The three divisions are apparently investigating, interrogating, and reviewing all cases related to the prince.

But among them, only Huo Qiming pulled away.

He obeyed Mu Zheng's secret order to investigate the cause of the prince's death in private.

Mu Zheng never believed that the prince would commit suicide!

Now, the crown prince is dead, and Mu Zheng has the jade seal bestowed by the emperor as proof, therefore, there is no one in the whole court that he can't touch!

However, in the harem, there were two women he couldn't touch.

One is the queen, and the other is Yan Youning!
Needless to say, the queen naturally, only the emperor can decide her life or death.

And Yan Youning is about to give birth now, and she is pregnant with the prince's own flesh and blood, the emperor's own grandson!
As for the others, they will all be punished as crimes!
Except for Yan Youning, as long as the prince's other concubines are willing to die for the prince, they will not be implicated in his mother's family!
As soon as Mu Zheng's order was passed on, Xiao Qinyao passed out on the spot.

What Lin Youyi didn't expect was that Xiao Muxue would be the first to find her.

It's not that she doubts the relationship between Xiao Muxue and Xiao Qinyao, but she thinks that at least Xiao Muxue shouldn't be the only one here.

Not surprisingly, Lin Youyi didn't even know that Xiao Muxue had come, she had already been rejected and returned angrily.

Immediately afterwards, there was Concubine Xiao.

Compared to Xiao Muxue, she) is still better.

At least, the Empress Dowager asked her close nurse to pass a message to her, asking her to keep a close eye on the door and take care of her own family affairs!

Lin Youyi counted with her fingers, she hadn't seen Mu Zheng for more than a month.

This time, the empress dowager fell in love with Lin Youyi even more.

Although this girl can't cover everything in terms of rules and etiquette, she is smart enough, sensible and likable.

Rules are dead and can't be learned, but temper and heart are innate and cannot be reshaped.

The Empress Dowager still felt that Lin Youyi was not qualified to be the Princess of Rui.

But fortunately, this child still has room for training.

As the days passed leisurely, Lin Youyi gradually lost the restraint, nervousness, and uneasiness all day long when she came here.

When he saw Mu Zheng again, the gloom between his brows had dissipated a lot.

Lin Youyi stared at Mu Zheng for a long time, then smiled comfortably.

"My lord has worked hard."

"It's really hard work, it can't compare to how leisurely you are in the queen mother's palace!"

"It's really free, give me a few more days, and I will memorize the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra"!"

"See what you can do!"

Mu Zheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gently poked Lin Youyi's forehead.

"Little girl, have you been living comfortably these few days?"

"Everything is fine! It's just... always worried about you! I don't know how you are doing outside?"

"Everything is fine with this king! Knowing that you have not been disturbed here by your mother, this king naturally has nothing else to do!"

"How is the prince?"

"died!"

"Dead? Did the emperor really order the prince to be executed?"

"No! The prince hanged himself while in captivity!"

"The prince committed suicide?"

Lin Youyi was shocked!

First came the news that the prince was dead, followed by the news that the prince had hanged himself. Lin Youyi's mind was messed up by these bombshells one after another.

She also didn't believe that the prince would commit suicide!

Sure enough, Mu Zheng's next words answered Lin Youyi's doubts.

"The prince really looks like he hanged himself. However, the king asked Huo Qiming to re-examine the prince's body. He found that his choked throat and lungs were swollen differently from ordinary people. Huo Qiming said that this is called Kinetic hot wind disease. In other words, even if the prince does not hang himself, he will still die! Hanging himself is just covering up the real cause of his death!"

Lin Youyi was stunned when she heard it!
After a while, she swallowed hard, and asked doubtfully.

"My lord, what do you mean... you asked Huo Qiming to... cut the prince's body open?"

"Otherwise? If you don't cut him open, how will this king know the real cause of the prince's death?"

"But, if the emperor knows, you let the prince die without a whole body..."

"This king thinks that the emperor should be more interested in knowing the real cause of the prince's death, rather than keeping a useless corpse! What's more, if I remember correctly, the prince has sworn before that if he commits any wrongdoing If he is raised, is he dead without a whole body? This king is just fulfilling him!"

Lin Youyi looked like she was still in shock and hadn't recovered.

She took two deep breaths to calm down, and then continued to ask.

"Then what is the kinetic heat wind disease Master Huo mentioned?"

"The prince has not been able to touch peanuts since he was a child. Even if he just eats a little, his throat will swell and he can't breathe. When he was young, he almost died because of it. Huo Qiming guessed that someone deliberately mixed peanut oil into it. Among the prince's meals."

"Then... If the crown prince really felt worse than death because he ate peanut oil by mistake, how could he hang himself?"

"It's just a trick, Huo Qiming is investigating, but no matter what, it is absolutely impossible for the prince to hang himself to death!"
