The Imperial Guard rushed to investigate this major case as quickly as possible. At Prince Rui's mansion, Prince Rui heard that his weapons had been robbed and that he had also been discovered kidnapping a beauty. He really didn't know what to do.
"How did Xing Dong do his work? He exposed all of his secrets to me. I have worked so hard to build this thing for so many years, but he just handed it over to the emperor."
Prince Rui gritted his teeth and couldn't say anything. When he thought of those weapons, his heart itched with hatred. If Xing Dong were here, he would have wanted to tear his tendons and bones apart.
He could ignore those short weapons. Originally, he needed so many short weapons just to conceal his identity. But what about those long weapons? They were his last magic weapon to save his life.
They were all presented to the emperor by Long Moxun. What's more hateful is that he sent out several groups of people, but they failed to kill Long Moxun, and let him come back safely to claim the credit.
Prince Rui was so angry that he almost died. He picked up a knife and went to chop Long Moxun himself. Damn it, how could this father and son be so hateful?
Prince Rui was so angry that he overturned the table, and his room was already in chaos.
"My Lord, please calm down."
The retainer stood trembling at the door, looking at Prince Rui who was unable to suppress his anger despite his age. He felt really disappointed with the prince. However, even so, he still had to come to give advice.
Your Majesty, what they should do now is not to lose their temper, but to destroy all traces of their involvement.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered the Imperial Guard to investigate this matter. Xing Dong cannot be saved. We must now sever our ties with Xing Dong. There are also a number of officials who are related to this case. Please appease them. What we need to do now is to wait and see how things develop. Please do not panic."
The retainer's words were somewhat harsh, but Prince Ke Rui could only suppress his anger after hearing them.
"That Long Moxun has been keeping an eye on me for a long time. He seems to have a lot of evidence in his hands."
Prince Rui sighed. He still respected this guest in front of him very much. The guest had solved many problems for Prince Rui.
"Your Highness, the important thing now is how much evidence Prince Jing has. As long as you deny it, he can't do anything to you. Moreover, other princes have been involved in Prince Jing's affairs. We can divert the matter with a little effort."
It has been a long time since several princes have been dealing with Long Moxun. As long as they get involved, they will inevitably get into trouble.
There was a gleam of cruelty in Prince Rui's eyes. If he was discovered, the others would have no chance of escaping unscathed.
After listening to the servant's words, Prince Rui finally felt relieved. He just nodded heavily and waved to the servant: "Go down."
The servant shook his head and sighed almost inaudibly, "My Prince, you are already so old, please don't be so rash, okay? Look at Prince Jing sitting opposite you, he is not even half your age, but much calmer than you. If you want to deal with Prince Jing, you'd better control your temper first."
Prince Rui rubbed his brows and called his secret guards: "Long Moxun, what did you do on that mountain?"
"Your Highness, he saved a girl and took away a thylacine."
"No evidence found?"
"No." The secret guard answered honestly, but Prince Rui was surprised. Apart from their secrets, what else on that mountain was worth Long Moxun's visit?
He is not the emperor, and he really believed Long Moxun's lies about going up the mountain to find wild beasts.
"That girl, that girl is the fourth young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Yes, the people we sent out once kidnapped and killed Prince Jing. As for that girl, I also found out that Prince Shou once sent people into the mountains to kidnap that girl, and she was later rescued by Prince Jing."
Prince Shou? Prince Rui frowned. Why did Long Lingxun get involved? Who was that girl? She messed up his plan.
As soon as Luo Xue Ning was mentioned, Prince Rui's anger could not be restrained, and it rushed to his head again. If it weren't for Luo Xue Ning, how could the secret they had worked so hard for many years be exposed like this? Luo Xue Ning, this woman, really caught them off guard.
"Go and get rid of that person for me. I don't want to see that woman."
Prince Rui's plan was ruined by a woman. He was extremely angry at this time. He was also very aggrieved. He killed snakes every day, but in the end he was still bitten by a snake.
The dark guard frowned, and immediately showed murderous intent on his face: "Yes!"
Finally getting rid of the pursuers, Luo Xuening breathed a sigh of relief. The first thing she did when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion was to find her bed, take off her shoes, lie down on the bed and fall asleep.
Luo Xuening was really exhausted these past few days. Working undercover in that dark organization, she couldn't even close her eyes to sleep.
Now, she can fall asleep as soon as she touches the bed.
However, things were destined to be uneasy in the Prime Minister's Mansion, because the first wife was said to be seriously ill.
"Miss, Miss, please wake up.
The maid Luoxia ran over, looking a little anxious, and pushed Luoxuening who was sleeping soundly.
"Miss, it's bad, the first lady is sick."
Luo Xue Ning didn't even raise her eyelids, but just said in a daze: "What does the Madam's illness have to do with us?"
She wished that the vicious woman would die of illness.
Luoxia was helpless: "Miss, the eldest lady said that she is now very ill. The doctors invited from the capital were unable to treat her. She wants you to invite a miracle doctor to treat her."
These words were so infuriating that Luo Xuening finally opened her eyes, sat up from the bed, and left four words: "She wishes."
Well, Luoxia knew that her mistress would have this attitude: "Well, I will go and reject your request now."
"Wait, what are you going to say?" If Luoxia really refused like this, Luoxuening's reputation would be ruined. Although this was her true words, she had to pretend.
"I said, after all, the miracle doctor is still serving the Jingwang Palace. Even if the miracle doctor wants to come to the house to treat patients, he must ask the prince's opinion. Our young lady doesn't have such a big face. In this way, if we push the matter to the prince, will the eldest lady not embarrass the young lady?"
After hearing what Luoxia said, Luo Xuening realized that her little maid had really grown up.
"Yes, that's what I said."
Luo Xuening saw Luo Xia go back and say goodbye, and she felt relieved, but she felt that the eldest lady's illness came very strangely.
"Wait, when did the Madam fall ill?" He called out to Luoxia, his expression somewhat solemn.
"It seemed like it was when I came back from the Buddhist temple."
In the Buddhist hall, a trace of suspicion flashed across Luo Xuening's eyes. A few thoughts flashed through her mind, but probably because she was too tired these days, she couldn't grasp this idea at all. She just felt more and more that she should be cautious towards the eldest lady.
Sure enough, after hearing the reply, the eldest lady almost bit her handkerchief: "Luo Xue Ning, she doesn't want to help me at all."
The eldest lady was really ill. Her face was pale and her lips and teeth were trembling slightly. It seemed that she was not in good condition.
"Madam, the fourth young lady has that kind of personality. It would be a surprise if she were to come."
The maid tried to comfort her, but the eldest lady frowned and said, "She obviously looks down on me as a mother."
"Madam, our mother is ill, and as a child, how can we not show filial piety? If the fourth young lady is really so ignorant, she will be criticized by others."
The old woman's words woke the old lady from her dream. She was delighted and immediately came up with an idea: "Come here, spread the news that I'm sick, and then embellish the story of my daughter Yao'er going to the mountain to pray for blessings."
The old woman looked at the sinister smile on the eldest lady's face, and she knew that the eldest lady was going to step on Luo Xuening and let the eldest lady take the position.
As for Luo Xuening, no matter whether she can hire a miracle doctor or not, she will eventually become a stepping stone for others.
The old woman and the eldest lady had a tacit understanding, and the calculations in their eyes were particularly obvious.
