Mu Anyu practically jumped up from his chair. He glared at Wang Wan'er, his anger blazing, and said, "What did you say? All of this is thanks to her?"
Wang Wan'er nodded: "That's right. The woman surnamed Jin hates me for taking away her position as the principal wife, and she also harbors resentment towards the prince for deceiving her for so long, which is why she went to great lengths to take revenge."
A bloodthirsty glint appeared in Mu Anyu's eyes: "Kill her, kill her for me."
Wang Wan'er said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely send someone to kill her."
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the panicked voice of a servant came from outside the door.
Mu Anyu was extremely annoyed: "What is it? Speak!"
"Your Highness..."
Just as the servant was about to speak, he saw Wang Wan'er standing there.
Mu Anyu understood and waved to Wang Wan'er: "Wan'er has worked hard these past few days. If there's nothing else, you can go down now."
Wang Wan'er was naturally unhappy. She had gone to great lengths to get news of that bitch these past few days, but she hadn't even received a single word of praise and was instead avoiding her at every turn.
"yes......"
Wang Wan'er kept glancing at Mu Anyu as she walked, her mood very bad.
With a click, the study door closed.
Mu Anyu looked at the servant: "Speak."
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Zhang A'ming has been taken away by the Dali Temple."
Mu Anyu almost fell off the chair.
This is no small matter; it could be a capital offense.
"Don't worry about honeysuckle for now. The most important thing right now is to get rid of Zhang Amin."
The servant's face scrunched up: "Your Highness, the man is in the Dali Temple prison, how can we get rid of him?"
Mu Anyu paced back and forth: "Cui Zhiping, Cui Zhiping, Cui Zhiping... let's try to see if we can find a way to get through to Cui Zhiping."
"yes."
Later.
The residence of Lord Cui.
Having just finished dinner, Lord Cui had nothing to do, so he went to his study to read.
The lady knocked on the door and said softly, "Master, why are you still leaving these books lying around? Look, I picked them up."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door and placed the book on Lord Cui's desk.
Cui Zhiping raised an eyebrow at the book, somewhat puzzled: "I don't remember having this book. Where did you find it, Madam?"
The lady said, "It's right in the courtyard."
Cui Zhiping picked up the book, glanced at it a few times, then exclaimed in surprise and slammed it shut.
The lady, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong?"
"Madam, please go out first."
"good."
Inside the study, Cui Zhiping opened the book again, still looking astonished. This thick book contained a large number of silver notes, the amount of which was probably more than he could earn even if he served as the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review for a lifetime.
"Lord Cui, if you are interested, let's meet in the woods on the outskirts of the capital at noon tomorrow."
Cui Zhiping carefully examined the note. The handwriting was so neat, almost too neat, that it was impossible to tell who wrote it. However, he was now certain that this person was involved in the salt smuggling case and might even be the mastermind behind it. Now that he heard that Zhang Amin had been arrested, he panicked and tried to find a way out by getting through to Cui Zhiping.
Cui Zhiping instructed his servant to prepare more manpower so that they would arrive at the appointment promptly at noon the next day.
He wanted to see who was selling smuggled salt right under the nose of the capital.
Outside Lord Cui's residence, Honeysuckle wrapped her cloak tightly around herself and jogged back to the slums under the cover of night.
"stop!"
In the darkness of night, a deep, muffled sound suddenly rang out from behind.
Honeysuckle turned around and saw a gleaming broadsword coming straight at her face!
