At this moment, in the "Dragon Prince's" mansion, Li Mufeng was discussing the altar matter with Wang Feng in the study.

"On that day, the witnesses must be safe. I will definitely pull the Empress off her throne, and then..."

Li Mufeng placed a hand chop to his neck. The years of harassment he had endured in the military had taught him a valuable lesson.

"If you're not ruthless, you can't stand in this world. Only by becoming strong can you have the right to speak."

"Your Highness, rest assured, I have already made arrangements and will not allow any accidents to happen."

"That's good. She dared to harm my mother. I must settle this score with her."

...

Just as the two were talking, Zhao Hu burst in, panting heavily.

"Your Highness... Your Highness, no... something terrible has happened! The... the Princess Consort..."

"Your Highness, what's wrong with her?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hu mention "Blood Purple Rose," Wang Feng grabbed her collar, his excited expression making him seem even more anxious than Li Mufeng.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Seemingly realizing he had overreacted, Wang Feng released his grip and slapped himself hard across the face.

"This humble servant was just too worried about the Princess Consort and forgot that the Prince is still here. I believe that as long as the Prince is here, the Princess Consort will surely be safe."

Seeing Wang Feng's remorse, Li Mufeng finally withdrew his murderous gaze.

What's wrong with her?

Zhao Hu stepped forward and whispered something to him. Li Mufeng gritted his teeth.

"Yun Chao, how dare he..."

"Lord Yun said that the Princess Consort killed someone in full view of everyone, so he can only handle the matter according to official procedures. He hopes that Your Highness will forgive him!"

As for this humble servant, Lord Yun said he was willing to give Your Highness face and let you handle the matter yourself, but he was powerless to help the Princess Consort unless Your Highness could find evidence to exonerate her.

Zhao Hu lowered his head, looking remorseful. If he hadn't been so incompetent, allowing Han Ruyi to seize the opportunity, the princess wouldn't have acted impulsively and hurt someone. Ultimately, it was all his fault.

"What do you mean by giving the prince face? If we were really giving the prince face, we should release the princess. That old fox Yun Chao, in my humble opinion, deserves a beating."

Wang Feng was indignant, while Li Mufeng raised his hand.

"Wait, you just said that Han Ruyi had something on you? How did she know you were injured?"

"this……"

Zhao Hu suddenly realized,

"That's right! The Princess Consort instructed me to keep a close eye on Mu Xue'er and see who would rescue her. I was hiding in the shadows when I saw a man in black drug the jailer and go in. At that time, besides the man in black, I guessed that was me in the cell."

I originally thought he was planning to rescue the Second Madam, and that as long as I followed him closely, I would know who the Second Madam had transferred the money to. However, I did not expect that after the man in black opened the cage, he directly slit the Second Madam's throat.

Heaven knows, earth knows, and the man in black and I know. How could the Second Miss know, unless she…”

Before Zhao Hu could finish speaking, Li Mufeng and Wang Feng spoke in unison.

"She knew the man in black."

"The most urgent task right now is to find evidence to exonerate the Princess. We'll split into two groups. Wang Feng, you take a few men and investigate where Han Ruyi has been, who she has met, and what she has said during this time."

Li Mufeng gave instructions methodically.

Wang Feng cupped his hands in greeting.

"Your humble servant may depart at this time."

"Zhao Hu, go prepare a fast horse. We need to get to the Prime Minister's residence as soon as possible. There might be some evidence on Ye Qing's body. I'm afraid that if we arrive too late, they will destroy the evidence."

"I still don't believe it, that the princess is such a weak person..."

Li Mufeng paused here, recalling how "Blood Purple Rose" had defeated several guards at the gate with her bare hands a few days ago. He choked for a moment, then continued...

"Two slaps, how could that poison someone?"

Despite saying this, Li Mufeng's heart was once again in turmoil. After all, it was she who had cured his poison with her blood. That woman's blood was very special; he wondered if it contained any poisonous components besides being able to cure poison. If it really was she who poisoned Ye Qing, should he really disregard the law to save her?

"Your Highness's injuries have not yet fully healed, so I should have Steward Du prepare a carriage!"

Seeing that Li Mufeng's chest was still swollen, knowing that his injury had not fully healed, Zhao Hu said considerately, only to be glared at by Li Mufeng.

"Human life is at stake, yet you still have the mind to dawdle here. If it weren't for you, would the princess have been arrested?"

Li Mufeng didn't know why he was so angry; he just felt an inexplicable fire burning within him. Zhao Hu, upon hearing this, dared not say anything more, and the two of them quickly left the study.

"Father, has something happened to Mother? I just saw Uncle Wang Feng take a lot of people out."

Upon seeing Li Mufeng emerge, Li Jingchen hurriedly strode forward to greet him.

"Be good, stay at home and behave. Your father will be right back."

Li Mufeng patted the little guy's head and tried to soften his voice.

"Could you take me with you? Maybe I can help you."

The little guy, Li Jingchen, had hope in his eyes. Thinking of how "Blood Purple Rose" had saved him many times, he wanted to do his part.

"No, we can talk about it when you're older."

After Li Mufeng finished speaking, he strode away, with Zhao Hu following behind. The little guy's eyes darted around as he looked around, finally pouting.

"If you won't let me go with you, then I'll go by myself."

At this moment, in the Dali Temple prison, "Blood Purple Rose" was violently pushed into the cell.

"Lord Yun, are you deaf? I said there are suspicious points about Ye Qing's death, why won't you believe me?"

"Blood Purple Rose" frowned slightly. If she hadn't thought he was a good person because he had helped her capture Mu Xue'er last time, she would have taken action long ago.

"Your Highness, please spare me! You killed someone in broad daylight, what could I possibly do?"

And what about the injuries to the Zhao brothers? Can you explain that? Second Madam Mu Xue'er was killed in prison, and the Zhao brothers were injured in the process. Everyone in the Prime Minister's household knows you have a long-standing feud with Second Madam Mu Xue'er. How can I possibly help you?”

Dali Temple Minister Yun Chao wore a bitter expression, once again feeling the distress of his lowly official position.

Just now, the Empress Dowager issued an imperial edict ordering her to severely punish the murderer who killed her niece.

But he dared not touch the princess either! If he did, wouldn't Prince Longxuan have torn his own tendons out?

For now, we can only proceed officially and detain the princess. As for how to deal with her, we'll discuss that later.

"A man in black killed Mu Xue'er, and Zhao Hu tried to capture him, but was slashed by the man in black's sword."

"Blood Purple Rose," Yun Chao, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, asked without concealing anything.

"Where is the evidence? Where are the witnesses and physical evidence? Does Your Highness think that a mere excuse can serve as evidence? Even if I believe Your Highness, do you think the Empress Dowager will? If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe me, would I dare release her?"

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review asked a series of questions, then ignored "Blood Purple Rose" and walked away into the distance.

"Let me out! Let me out! I must get out to find the evidence."

Seeing that Dali Temple Minister Yun Chao had already gone far away, "Blood Purple Rose" became anxious and frantically pounded on the prison door.

Just when "Blood Purple Rose" thought there was no hope, Yun Chao suddenly collapsed to the ground and began to convulse.

"My lord, my lord, what's wrong?"

The jailers were terrified and didn't know what to do for a moment.
