In the laboratory, after a series of thorough investigations and comparisons, it was finally concluded that the deceased in the dungeon was undoubtedly Concubine Rong.

For this result, the most difficult to accept is Qin Muyue and others.

Concubine Rong is Chu Li's mother and concubine. According to Chu Li's temperament, how could she sit idly by.

There must be something strange in this.

After leaving the examination room, Wan Hongyuan said to Emperor Ximing who was walking in the lead, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this corpse?"

"This kind of woman is not worthy of entering the imperial mausoleum, just throw it in a mass grave!" Emperor Ximing waved his sleeves and walked away.

After Emperor Ximing left, the Empress also walked out together, leaving only Old General Qin and Chu Qing in the dungeon.

"Your Majesty Chen is worthy of being the Minister of Dali Temple, and he is really fair in everything." Old General Qin looked at Chen Pu, showing an unpredictable smile.

Naturally, Chen Pu knew what Old General Qin was alluding to, so he couldn't help but bend over, "What Old General Qin said is that as long as I serve as the Minister of Dali Temple for one day, I will definitely handle the case impartially and will never bend the law for personal gain."

"Hahaha, the old man wants to see how long Mr. Chen can wear this black gauze hat." After saying that, Old General Qin walked out.

Qin Muyue glanced at Chen Pu, and snorted coldly, "Master Chen, those who know current affairs are outstanding, and this is an eternal truth."

"Let's go." With a faint smile on her face, Chu Qing spoke to Qin Muyue and walked outside.

After the group left, only Chen Pu and Wan Hongyuan were left in the prison.

Wan Hongyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, frowned, and looked at Chen Pu, "Master Chen, what should we do now?"

"You and I have devoted ourselves to the emperor for many years, but now the court is acting as a traitor and persecuting Zhongliang. If you and I don't seek a big tree to rely on, I'm afraid the future will be very difficult..." After Chen Pu finished speaking, he sighed.

"What does your lord mean?" Wan Hongyuan lowered his voice and looked at Chen Pu.

With his hands behind his back, Chen Pu turned his head to look at Wan Hongyuan, "Find a chance and meet His Highness Prince Ning."

Wan Hongyuan was startled, and nodded in response.

...

Mu Yunjin had been lying on the bed resting, without Qingmeng's consent, she did not dare to get out of bed and walk around at will.

When Jiang Qingxue came in with a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, Mu Yunjin looked at her sideways, and her eyes first fell on her original appearance, "Eh? Have all the imperial guards left?"

"It's all gone in the morning." Jiang Qingxue approached her and brought the ginseng chicken soup to Mu Yunjin's side.

Mu Yunjin frowned, "Why did Emperor Ximing suddenly figure it out?"

"Rong Wanyue committed suicide by biting her tongue in the prison yesterday," Jiang Qingxue said.

"Suicide?" Mu Yunjin's eyes widened, her heart skipped a beat, and she changed her mind, "Real death or fake death?"

Jiang Qingxue shook her head, "I don't know, it's just that after a thorough investigation, the people from the Ministry of Punishment came to the conclusion that it was Rong Wanyue who died in the prison."

Hearing this, Mu Yunjin bit her lip, "Where's Chu Li?"

"In the pavilion outside."

Mu Yunjin hummed, reached out to take the ginseng chicken soup, and drank it slowly.

"Yunjin, when are you going to tell Chu Li about your pregnancy? You can keep it a secret in the early stage, but what if your belly grows?" Jiang Qingxue looked at Mu Yunjin's belly and frowned slightly.

"I don't know, let's take a step and see." Mu Yunjin pursed her lips.

Jiang Qingxue chuckled.

After drinking the ginseng chicken soup, Mu Yunjin rubbed her waist and looked towards the door, "Can I go out for a walk?"

"Qingmeng said, you will be bedridden for the next few days." Jiang Qingxue said.

"But it's so boring to lie down." Mu Yunjin leaned against the head of the bed, realizing that it would be a terrible thing for someone like her who can't rest to rest in bed.

Jiang Qingxue looked at her slumped face, and smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll call Chu Li in to talk to you."

After speaking, Jiang Qingxue stood up and walked outside.

Not long after, the door was opened again.

Mu Yunjin looked at the figure walking in the door, pursed her lips and smiled softly, her mother was really capable of calling Chu Li so soon.

After Chu Li entered the door, he walked to Mu Yunjin's bed, "Do you want to go out?"

Mu Yunjin paused, looked up at Chu Li quickly, and nodded.

"Don't even think about it." Chu Li rebuffed her.

Hearing this, Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Li, "I can't see that you care about me so much, do you like me?"

"Then you go out." Chu Li changed the subject, knowing that without Qingmeng's diagnosis and treatment, she would not dare to stay in the bed and go out at will.

Mu Yunjin snorted coldly when she heard Chu Li's words, and said displeasedly, "Is it that difficult to admit that you like me?"

"If you are fine, then I will leave first." Chu Li's eyes were clear, and he was ready to turn around and leave after speaking.

Mu Yunjin felt sore, "Wait."

Chu Li stopped and looked back at her.

"I heard that Concubine Rong committed suicide in the prison?" Mu Yunjin asked him.

"En." Chu Li nodded in response.

Mu Yunjin frowned, "Is he really dead?"

"No." Chu Li squinted at her, "Take care of your body first, and don't meddle in these matters."

Chu Li knew that her emotions should not fluctuate back and forth. Some things should be avoided if she can avoid telling her, lest she think too much on her own.

After receiving Chu Li's affirmative reply, Mu Yunjin felt relieved suddenly, and suddenly thought of something again, "On the day Qin Muyue and Chu Qing got married, I was also hunted down in Heyue City."

"This king already knows." Chu Li's black eyes sank, "Recently, don't leave here casually."

"Could it be that the Qin family and Chu Qing are starting to plan for the next step?" Mu Yunjin looked at him.

Chu Li shook his head, "This king will take care of it."

"Chu Li, don't carry everything by yourself, we are husband and wife, we should be of the same mind." Mu Yunjin raised the corners of her lips and blinked at Chu Li pretending to be relaxed.

After Chu Li touched this dazzling smile, he was slightly taken aback. The word "concentric" inexplicably moved his heart.

the fool.

Staring at her for a while, his eyes fell on her pink lips, and the sweet and lingering kiss in Heyue City slowly emerged in his mind.

Seeing Chu Li looking at her, Mu Yunjin took the opportunity to reach out and hold his hand again, "What are you thinking?"

Chu Li was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, and looked away uncomfortably, "It's nothing."

"Really?" Mu Yunjin looked at Chu Li's blushing ears, smiled wickedly, and moved closer to Chu Li.

"Lie down." Chu Li felt annoyed when he saw her slipping out of the bed with thin clothes.

Mu Yunjin raised her lips, "Then give me a kiss."

"What did you say?" Chu Li frowned, suddenly thinking that this woman could read minds.

"I'll let you kiss me." Mu Yunjin said, pointing to her own cheek.

Chu Li's face darkened even more, and he was about to turn around and leave.

The moment Chu Li turned around, Mu Yunjin crawled out of the bed, jumped onto Chu Li's back, put her arms around Chu Li's neck, and wrapped her feet around Chu Li's body.

"Mu Yunjin!" Chu Li's forehead burst out of anger, and he reached out and grabbed her wrist, wanting to tear her off, but he was afraid of hurting her, "Come down quickly!"

"Stingy ghost, don't even give me a kiss. It's not like I haven't kissed before. When I was in Heyue City, wouldn't it be good to return the kiss?" Mu Yunjin deliberately teased Chu Li, and tightened her hands around his neck.

Chu Li twitched the corners of his mouth, really convinced her, and suppressed his anger, "Go back and lie down."

"No." Mu Yunjin made an inch of progress, after such a short time, she had already figured out the change in Chu Li's heart, and found that he would not throw her down directly.

"That's fine. If you like this, I won't force you." After Chu Li finished speaking, he let her hook him and walked directly towards the door.

Mu Yunjin frowned, Chu Li is going out like this? No, no, it must be provoking her, so she won't be fooled!

But it wasn't until Chu Li opened the door and stepped out of the room that Mu Yunjin knew that what Chu Li said was true.

Now she was wearing a thin light shirt, and when she went out, her body shivered from the biting cold wind outside, and she subconsciously hugged her even tighter.

Chu Li ignored her reaction and continued to move forward. It was only when he was about to walk out of the Liquan Pavilion that he heard Mu Yunjin crying and begging for mercy, "I was wrong, let me go back!"

"Are you sure you're wrong?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows, with a smug smile in his eyes.

"En." Mu Yunjin lowered her head.

Seeing her begging for mercy, Chu Li stopped embarrassing her and walked quickly to the room, fearing that she would really freeze.

Walking back to the side of the bed, Mu Yunjin immediately let go of Chu Li, and got into the bed by herself, only showing a pair of eyes, staring at Chu Li beside the bed.

"Have a good rest." Chu Li looked down at her, and when he touched her pitiful little eyes, his heart tightened.

Then she sighed helplessly, bent slightly, and dropped a kiss on Mu Yunjin's forehead like a superficial kiss.

"Bang bang bang—" A hasty knock on the door broke the warmth and tranquility of the room.

Both Mu Yunjin and Chu Li were startled, frowned tacitly, and looked towards the door.

"Come in." Chu Li said.

It was Ding Xian who pushed the door and came in. After entering the door, he met two murderous eyes and shrank his neck, "Your Highness, Princess..."

"What's the matter?" Chu Li asked displeased.

"The news came from outside just now that Yun Guangyao, the monarch of Nanting Kingdom, announced to the world that the monarch of Xiyuan Kingdom killed the imperial concubine of Nanting Kingdom, and broke off diplomatic relations with Xiyuan Kingdom.

Hearing this, Mu Yunjin let out a low cry of surprise, as if she did not expect such an attitude from the monarch of Nanting Kingdom, she thought that he would definitely support Emperor Ximing's decision.

But after thinking about it, Mu Yunjin wanted to understand what the monarch of Nanting Kingdom did.

Although Concubine Rong is a maidservant and two husbands, she is really the concubine of the monarch of Nanting Kingdom in Nanting Kingdom. At this moment, Emperor Ximing ordered the execution of Concubine Rong on his own initiative. He slapped the monarch of Nanting Kingdom in the face.

After all, she was also her own woman, and now she made a mistake, and the majestic Nanting King didn't say how to dispose of it, so why did Emperor Ximing dispose of it privately?

Thinking of this, Mu Yunjin couldn't help laughing.

"After the monarch of Nanting Kingdom announced to the world, the monarch of Donglin Kingdom also made an additional statement, saying that he supports Nanting Kingdom's position!" Ding Xian continued.

When Mu Yunjin heard that the four countries, which were supposed to be peaceful on the surface, suddenly tore their faces, she couldn't help asking, "What about the Beiming country? Do you have a statement?"

"The monarch of Beiming State said that Princess Jinhua is the wife of His Highness King Ning of Xiyuan Kingdom, and she will definitely support Xiyuan Kingdom with all her strength."
