Chapter 119: The prince is back
His eyeliner told everything what happened.
When he heard that the wolves were guarding him, a smile appeared on the emperor's face.
“She should be the little girl from the Shen family in Xiangyun Village, right?”
She can always do something unusual, no wonder his son always likes to get along with her.
"Yes," the guard bowed his head and handed over his hand: "However, I heard that this was not Miss Shen's intention, but that Miss Shen was helping to fulfill other people's wishes."
The emperor's smile suddenly faded, and he asked doubtfully: "Whose legacy?"
The guard hurriedly talked about the Wu family's affairs, and by the way, he also handed over the results of his investigation.
"I thought it was an ordinary fire, but I personally went to Xitai Village to inquire about the news. I also went to several government offices and found something strange. The deaths of the three members of the Wu family may not be an accident."
The emperor took the folder and looked at it for a moment. His brows furrowed more tightly, and displeasure filled his eyes.
The guard reported in a low voice: "The villagers of Xitai Village can indeed confirm that the Wu family and his wife died in the fire, and some villagers saw men in black entering and leaving his house that night."
“Coincidentally, Miss Shen also stayed at the Wu family that night, and Wu Zuchang, the son of the Wu family who went up the mountain with her, died of a stab wound.”
“However, the case record of the government office only states that three members of the Wu family died accidentally, not homicide.”
After the emperor read the excerpt, various clues allowed him to guess what happened.
“Damn it!” He slammed the folded book on the table, causing the pen holder to shake back and forth, showing that he was extremely angry.
The **** at the door was frightened when he heard what he said.
Why did the emperor lose his temper so much?
"This is obviously aimed at Shen Ningning!" The emperor paced back and forth, like a violent lion, with the storm in his eyes becoming deep and dangerous.
The guard nodded: "Bizhi thinks so too, but since the Emperor began to pay attention to Miss Shen, he arranged for Bizhi to observe her."
“Ms. Shen is a kind-hearted person, as her reputation inside and outside Xiangyun Village proves, and her interpersonal relationships are simple and she has never been against anyone. Why would someone kill a child?”
The emperor slowly sat back on the chair, his eyes even colder, with a strong murderous aura.
"Ling Wei... They know that Ling Wei is on good terms with Shen Ningning." So, they want to kill his friend?
The guard said nothing, obviously acquiescing to this view.
The emperor suddenly laughed. This smile was bone-chilling and cold, with terrifying anger.
"No wonder, no wonder! I asked why Ling Wei didn't want to let Shen Ningning enter the palace. It turned out that he had guessed it a long time ago. He was surrounded by jackals and everyone was staring at him."
"With a little carelessness, even the friends he most wants to make will be retaliated against!"
He smiled and then turned bitter.
“Ling Wei has seen through things long ago, but I have been kept in the dark.”
“It’s not my fault that he’s not close to me!”
When the emperor said this, the guards did not dare to speak.
"No...no..." He suddenly thought of something again, and the look in his eyes swayed with the candlelight: "If you want to kill Shen Ningning, you won't kill everyone in the Wu family."
“What are those people trying to hide?” the emperor thought with a calm look.
Suddenly!
He said to the guard: "Go and investigate secretly. Have the Wu family had any contact with anyone suspicious recently? No matter how big or small, let me find out everything!"
"Yes." The guard resigned and hurried away in the night.
On the other side, the doors and windows of Concubine Li's palace were closed.
"Trash! Brother, you're a piece of trash!" She yelled angrily.
The nun who came to report the news knelt at her feet, terrified.
Just now she told Concubine Li that Wei Shangshu arranged for Du Yuanwai to hire a murderer to assassinate Shen Ningning, but she accidentally killed the fake family members Concubine Li had found for her.
Now Shen Ningning wants to avenge the Wu family, and she insists on this matter and makes a lot of noise outside the city.
The emperor must have known about it.
Li Fei was furious.
“He knew how to cause trouble to me. When something happened, he remembered that I had warned him not to touch the people around the prince. Why didn’t he listen?”
"If he did not intervene, maybe Shen Ningning really believes that the Wu family is her family, and the palace can use the Wu family to control her, which is equivalent to inserting a eyeliner beside the prince." If he disobeys, the Wu family is also dead, the emperor will investigate soon, I will see how he ends up this time!"
After saying this, Concubine Li felt so angry that she had a headache and felt dizzy. She suddenly fell down on the imperial concubine's bed.
Mammy hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, please calm down and take care of yourself!"
How could Li Fei calm down?
The emperor favored the prince. For so many years, she only dared to do some trivial tricks.
But once she provoked the prince, Mo Lingwei, a mad dog, not only made her son disabled, but he is still at large.
If Mo Lingwei finds out, Wei Shangshu bribes a killer to target Shen Ningning...
Li Fei shuddered.
Her beautiful face looked as if she had seen a ghost, only pale with fear.
“You!” She grabbed the nanny’s collar like crazy: “You should leave the palace immediately and tell your elder brother to kill all the murderers and leave no one behind!”
Mammy was slow to respond, so Li Fei urged and shouted: "Go quickly!"
“Yes...yes!” Grandma rolled and crawled out.
However.
When the news reached Wei Shangshu's mansion, he was also anxious and sweating profusely.
“Kill them all? Those assassins have not come back until now.”
Not only that, I heard that Shen Ningning captured a living person and hid him.
We must wait for Mo Lingwei to return to Beijing and let him investigate.
Once the prince intervenes, this matter will become troublesome.
He hurriedly went to ask the steward: "Has the third brother come back?"
The housekeeper was sweating profusely. After searching for a long time, he reported back: "No...no, the third master hasn't been back for two days. I don't know where he went."
“This **** spends all his time outside and having fun, and he doesn’t even know when disaster is about to happen.” Wei Shangshu became anxious.
Li Fei bribed the Wu family and asked Mr. Wei to come forward.
I am afraid that there is any handle in the benefits of the Wu family, so he must ventilate with the third brother in advance.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Wei Sanye has been missing for two days.
Wei Shangshu immediately ordered: "Send more people to look for him. Go to the brothel and the outer house where he usually goes. Dig three feet of the ground for me and drag him back!"
The housekeeper and the guards were busy.
Wei Shangshu felt that this was not enough, so he called his confidants and asked him to go to Xiangyun Village tomorrow and bring Shen Ningning to the capital.
If anything happens, sit down and discuss it carefully. If Shen Ningning wants to seek justice for the Wu family, just find a scapegoat for her.
In short, this matter must be dealt with before the prince comes back.
He must not be allowed to discover that the Wei family is the mastermind behind this.
Not only the Wei family, but also other high-ranking officials and dignitaries heard the news of the tragic death of the Wu family, and they were afraid that it was their own dandy who did it.
So every household checked all night long to make sure that it had nothing to do with them. Even those with naughty sons and daughters were not allowed to go out in the past few days to avoid getting into trouble.
That night, Shen Ningning slept soundly.
She didn't know that her actions made the whole capital tremble.
Early the next morning.
The **** arranged by Wei Shangshu rushed to Xiangyun Village and planned to pick up Shen Ningning.
However, before they could enter the village, they saw the prince's car already parked at the entrance of the village.
The people of Wei Shangshu were so frightened that they almost **** themselves.
How did they know that the prince went straight to Xiangyun Village as soon as he came back and didn't even return to the palace!
The guard's face was pale and his legs and feet were weak: "Quick, let's go back and tell the adults that something happened."
The prince met Shen Ningning first, so he would definitely know about the Wu family.
It’s over, it’s completely over now!
