Mo Xi and Mu Li were immersed in the joy of being together, but they were unaware that a hidden crisis was quietly approaching.
In the capital, a mysterious organization began to become active. They were secretive, cruel, and their targets were important officials of the court.
Overnight, several ministers died mysteriously one after another, leaving mysterious symbols at the scene.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
Mu Feng and Mo Xi also participated in the investigation.
"I've never seen this symbol before. I don't know what it means." Mu Feng looked at the symbol at the crime scene with a frown.
Mo Xi thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps this is a clue left intentionally by the murderer to mislead us."
Mu Li also analyzed from the side: "Could it be related to the mysterious organization from before?"
Just when they were at a loss, another minister was attacked, but fortunately he was rescued in time by the guards.
"From the description of the injured, it seems that the murderer is a martial arts expert, and he appears and disappears without a trace." The guard reported to Mo Xi and others.
Mo Xi felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. The power behind this seemed to be more terrifying than he had imagined.
At the same time, rumors spread in the capital, and the people were in panic.
"I heard that the imperial court has offended the gods, and this is a punishment from heaven."
"What should we do? Is the world going to be in chaos?"
Mu Li decided to go deep into the people and find out the source of the rumors.
After some investigation, she found that these rumors were spread deliberately by someone.
"Who is behind all this?" Mu Li fell into deep thought.
While investigating the attack on the minister, Mo Xi and Mu Feng accidentally discovered some clues related to the internal affairs of the palace.
"Could it be that the mastermind behind this is in the palace?" Mo Xi was shocked.
They decided to remain silent and continue their investigation in secret, determined to uncover the mastermind behind the incident...
Mo Xi, Mu Feng and Mu Li started investigating from different directions, and the clues gradually converged.
Mu Li met a mysterious old man among the people, who revealed an important piece of information to her: this mysterious organization seemed to be related to a fallen prince.
"The prince who has lost power? Could it be Prince Shun?" Mu Li thought.
Mo Xi and Mu Feng also made progress in their investigation within the palace. They discovered that some palace maids and eunuchs were behaving abnormally, and following the clues, they found out their connections with people outside the palace.
"It seems that this fallen prince has been secretly building up his own power in an attempt to make a comeback." Mo Xi analyzed.
Mu Feng nodded in agreement: "I just didn't expect their actions to be so fast and so secretive."
The three of them summarized their findings, and the truth gradually surfaced.
"It turns out that they used the mysterious organization to create chaos, took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and attempted to seize the throne." Mu Li said angrily.
Mo Xi clenched his fists: "We must not let their conspiracy succeed."
However, just as they were about to present the evidence to the emperor, they found themselves being targeted by a mysterious organization.
"Be careful, there is an ambush!" Mo Xi warned loudly.
A group of men in black suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
The three of them quickly gathered together, took out their weapons and started a fierce fight with the men in black.
At the critical moment, a team of imperial guards arrived in time and repelled the men in black.
It turned out that the queen was afraid that they would be in danger, so she secretly dispatched the imperial guards to support them.
"This time it's all thanks to the Queen." Mu Feng said.
"There is no time to lose, let's go see our father." Mo Xi said.
They rushed to the palace with evidence, ready to uncover the final veil of this conspiracy...
The three finally met the emperor and presented all the evidence one by one.
The emperor was furious: "How dare they stir up trouble under my nose? I will definitely catch them all in one fell swoop!"
He immediately ordered the arrest of all those involved.
For a time, the capital was in a state of panic, people were in a state of panic, and the imperial guards were dispatched everywhere.
When the fallen prince saw that his plan was exposed, he tried to escape, but was captured by the imperial guards who had been lying in ambush and brought before the emperor.
"Prince Shun, I didn't expect it was really you!" the emperor said angrily.
"The victor will be the king and the loser will be the bandit. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!" Prince Shun was disheartened and looked indifferent.
The emperor had no choice but to order him to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
Members of the mysterious organization were also arrested one after another, and the crisis in the capital was finally resolved.
The people cheered and praised the emperor's wise decision.
At the celebration banquet, the emperor rewarded Mo Xi, Mu Feng, Mu Li and others according to their merits.
"It is thanks to you that we were able to avert danger this time," said the emperor.
Mo Xi and others knelt down to express their gratitude.
As the banquet was coming to an end, Mo Xi and Mu Li came to the imperial garden.
"After going through so many ups and downs, we finally have peace." Mu Li said with emotion.
Mo Xi held Mu Li's hand and said, "Everything will be fine in the future."
Just then, Mu Li saw a eunuch hurried to the banquet hall.
"Brother Crown Prince, look at that man walking in a hurry, could something have happened to him?"
"Let's go and take a look!" Mo Xi said as he and Mu Li returned to the banquet hall.
"What?" As soon as I entered the banquet hall, I heard the emperor say in shock.
"Father, what happened?" Mo Xi hurried forward and asked.
"News came from the Cining Palace that the Empress Dowager has passed away! The head nanny beside the Empress Dowager said that before she died, the Empress Dowager asked for her body to be sent to the temporary palace and said that she wanted to be buried there! Come with me to take a look, my dear ministers, please do as you please!" The emperor said as he walked quickly towards the Cining Palace, followed closely by the Empress, and Mo Xi and Mu Li also hurried to catch up.
"Brother Prince, I always feel something is wrong!" Mu Li said softly.
