Prime Minister Luo really did what he said. He really locked Luo Xue Ning in the Buddhist hall. According to Prime Minister Luo, Luo Xue Ning was not allowed to go out unless she copied the Buddhist scriptures ten thousand times.

Luo Xuening was kneeling in the Buddhist temple at the moment, staring at Prime Minister Luo's back with a face full of resentment. "Dad, didn't you say that I only had to copy it a thousand times? How come it became ten thousand times?"

Luo Xuening had no idea that the reason she suffered such misfortune today was just because of a deliberate word from Long Moxun.

If Long Moxun had not deliberately hinted at his relationship with Luo Xuening in front of Prime Minister Luo, how could Prime Minister Luo doubt their invisible relationship, and how could he be so angry as to put this evil girl under house arrest?

Although, Prime Minister Luo also knew that the reason why Long Moxun brought up his relationship with Luo Xuening was simply to use his eagerness to protect his daughter to force him to stand on Prince Jing's side.

However, he really disliked Long Moxun's behavior.

Prime Minister Luo is indeed a royalist now, but that does not mean that Prime Minister Luo will remain loyal to the royal family a hundred years after the emperor passes away. Although Prime Minister Luo is from the same bloodline as Prince Shou, based on his relationship with the eldest lady in his family, it is impossible for him to completely stand on the side of Prince Shou.

Prime Minister Luo has come this far because he has won the emperor's favor. Although he is the prime minister, he has no external help. He is a lone minister. If the emperor does not trust him one day, his career will be over. He may even be hated.

As for the other princes, as long as the news of Prince Rui using the sold women to collude with officials in the court comes out, what Prime Minister Luo did fifteen years ago will be made public. At that time, he will be lucky enough if he is not killed by the princes. After this incident, he and the princes will definitely become enemies.

Therefore, Prime Minister Luo has no other choice except Long Moxun. He will stand with Long Moxun, but not now. However, the prince does not give him the time to consider.

Letting him handle it himself, the twelve officials involved in the closed room murder case are simply bringing hatred to him.

Prime Minister Luo admitted that he couldn't stand Long Moxun using his weakness to threaten him to take sides. He, Luo Wenwu, had not been threatened like this for many years, but now he was threatened by a young boy.

The more Prime Minister Luo thought about it, the angrier he got. But he was Prince Jing, the most beloved prince of the current Emperor. What could he do to him?

Let alone power, he can't even compete with her in terms of conspiracy and trickery.

So at this time, Luo Xue Ning was shot innocently. Who told Luo Xue Ning to be so close to Prince Jing?

Luo Xuening had no idea that she was being punished. It turned out there was such a relationship. One can only say that she really was the one who suffered innocently.

At this moment, Luo Xuening, who was kneeling in the Buddhist temple, felt that something was wrong with this temple.

Luo Xue Ning had actually studied some medical knowledge from Doctor Sai Shen these days, but it was only theoretical knowledge. She was still a little short of being able to really put it to use. However, the strange fragrance in this Buddhist temple was really wrong.

Because this strange fragrance was so faint and mixed in with the incense, it would only be wafted when the breeze blew slightly. Ordinary people would not be so sensitive and would not easily discover this strange fragrance. But Luo Xuening happened to smell this strange fragrance.

Pulling out a stick of incense from the Buddhist hall, Luo Xuening extinguished it, replaced it with a new one, and reinserted it. She also put the half-burned incense into her sleeve.

She had to find an opportunity to ask the great doctor to come and see whether the incense was poisonous or not.

No wonder Luo Xuening was so alert, it was because the Madam was pressing too hard.

"Miss, the Madam is urging us again. I heard that the Madam fell ill again today and the situation is very bad."

Luoxia looked at Luoxuening with resentment. What could the eldest lady ask her to do? Of course, she urged Luoxuening to ask for a miracle doctor.

Luo Xue Ning was not in a hurry at all. She believed that the eldest lady's illness could be cured. She went to ask the doctor for help herself.

"Miss, what should we do now? People outside are saying that you are not filial..."

In Nanshao, a country ruled by filial piety, Luo Xue Ning's behavior of knowing that her mother was ill but refusing to call a doctor for her mother was indeed unfilial. Coupled with the intentional or unintentional exaggeration of the eldest lady, these things became a laughing stock among the neighbors, and Luo Xue Ning became the representative of unfilial piety in the eyes of the public.

After this accusation was put on them, Luo Xuening was speechless. Luo Xia was anxious, but what could they do now? Being forced to this point, they could only ask for help from a miracle doctor. Even if it was just for show, they had to go.

"Miss, please say something. The eldest lady has already gone to the temple to pray for the eldest lady. You haven't done anything yet. Those people outside are spreading bad rumors. Aren't you in a hurry?"

Luo Xuening finally stopped copying the Buddhist scriptures and looked up at Luoxia: "I told you something, remember not to be impatient when doing things. Look at you now, don't say I taught you that."

"Then let me tell you, what should we do now?" Luoxia tilted her head and looked at Luoxuening with an innocent face.

"When will Luo Xueyao come back?"

"I've been gone for seven days. I'll probably be back tomorrow."

"When Luo Xueyao comes back, send someone to pick her up at the door."

"Miss, we don't have a good relationship with the eldest lady, so why should you ask us to pick her up?" Luoxia's face was full of reluctance. This eldest lady looked kind, but behind their backs, she had been giving them a hard time.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just go when I tell you to."

Luo Xuening waved her hands impatiently. Since the eldest lady wanted to step on her reputation to make way for Luo Xueyao, she would be doing herself a disservice if she didn't step back.

Luo Xueyao, it's time to settle the accounts between them.

Things were not peaceful in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but what was even more unpeaceful was the capital city that was ready to make moves.

That night, several high-ranking officials in the capital city stayed silent at home for a long time. They were officials from the lineage of Prince Rui, and they were also the twelve officials involved in the closed-room murder case.

These people were most closely related to the locked-room murder case, and they also accounted for half of Prince Rui's power in the court. Privately, they did a lot for Prince Rui.

Moreover, it is not difficult to find them because the damn murderer has already exposed them.

As long as Long Moxun follows the investigation of the locked room murder case, the traces of the crimes committed by these twelve officials will be revealed.

These officials have been anxious these days, waiting for news, and at the same time afraid to receive news from Prince Rui. Today, when they were preparing to go to bed, Prince Rui's message was accurately delivered to their room.

"Zi time, at the city gate."

It was these five short words that shocked the officials who received the letter, because the letter was signed with the private seal of Prince Rui's Palace.

Prince Rui would usually send them messages with this private seal. The officials had no doubts, turned off the lights, and lay down on the bed. However, tonight, they were destined to remain sleepless.

Without any hesitation, all twelve officials rushed to the city gate at midnight. Leading them was Duke Anguo. At this moment, he looked gloomy, having long recovered from the pain of losing his daughter. He stared at his colleagues with burning eyes.

"Why haven't you come yet? Tell me, what happened?"

Duke Anguo did not say why Prince Rui had not come yet. They really wanted to know whether Prince Rui and they could escape the heavy pressure from Emperor Nanshao.

However, before anyone could answer, a noise came from the woods outside the city gate. The twelve officials were startled, and when they looked again, they had been detained.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting us?"

The visitors had no expression on their faces. Even though the twelve officials were shouting and yelling, they just detained them. The leader said calmly, "Take them away."

"Do you know who we are?"

Duke Anguo shouted fiercely, but the leader only glanced at Duke Anguo indifferently, and the remaining eleven people showed disdain in their eyes. They wanted to arrest them because they knew who they were.

"Take away." It was still two cold words. The twelve officials had no power to resist in front of these people. They were taken away and had no idea what was waiting for them.
