The unexpected death of the eldest lady gave Su Luocheng the opportunity to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Su Luocheng did not care about being seriously injured and hurried out of the palace. However, he did not return directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but quietly came to the suburb of Beijing.
The private house where Wu Tuo had a private meeting.
"Master Su is so courageous. Aren't you afraid that Ximen Xianchu is staring at you?" Wu Tuo said with a smile when he saw Su Luocheng.
"Prince Wutuo can let Prince Wushan return to the palace, and I will naturally let 'himself' return to the Prime Minister's Mansion obediently, and we will be mutually supportive." Su Luocheng stroked his beard and said with a sly smile.
"I have solved the problem for Mr. Su, and I have informed the emperor that I will return to Yuehua Kingdom. Is Mr. Su here to see me off?" Wu Tuo said as he let someone disguise him.
He looked like Wu Shan.
Wu Tuo's return to the country actually means that "Wu Shan" leaves the Qingyuan Dynasty and returns to the Yuehua Kingdom. However, Wu Tuo, who originally wanted to come to the capital because of Wu Shan's affairs, does not need to come again because of the appearance of "Wu Shan" and passes it on to the capital.
The latest news is that Wu Tuo returned halfway.
"I can't attend the ceremony of sending off Prince Wu Shan, so I'm here to pay my respects." Su Luocheng raised his fist towards Wu Tuo.
"Master Su, are you really here to see me off?" Wu Tuo asked with a smile.
"Sending off must be one of the reasons," Su Luocheng said. "Second, I'm here to ask the prince whether everything he wants to do has been done. Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has failed, it is difficult to take action, which makes the prince worry."
"It is a rare visit to the Qingyuan Dynasty. Do you think that if the planned things are not done properly, can this prince return so easily?" Wu Tuo was extremely confident and looked at himself in the bronze mirror, which had transformed into Wu Shan.
, "The only thing I didn't expect was that it was much more convenient to do things as Wushan this time. I could also receive warm reception and save the trouble of my prince showing up in person. It's really good, hahaha!"
"Back to Yuehua Kingdom, what will happen to Prince Wutuo's plan? Are you going to continue to find someone to pretend to be Prince Wushan?" Su Luocheng asked. He originally just asked Wutuo to find someone to pretend to be Prince Wushan, but he didn't expect that it would be him himself.
He pretended to be Wushan and took the opportunity to do what he wanted to do.
"Pretend to be him? That would be so troublesome!" Uto pinched his face, "It would be easier to pretend to be a corpse."
"What does Prince Wutuo mean?" Su Luocheng looked at the decorated Wutuo and understood in his heart.
"Master Su, you are now being punished by Ximen Xianchu. Although you have saved your life and avoided the death penalty, the Prime Minister's Office is still in danger. If the Prime Minister's Office is broken up, how much power can you have with your family business outside?"
Wu Tuo approached Su Luo City, his bright eyes flashing with calculation, "I just heard that Mrs. Su was assassinated. Master Su must be in an even lower mood. Can I let this prince give you another credit to relieve your troubles?"
"Oh?" Su Luocheng's eyes lit up and he looked at Wutuo with a smile, "If the prince has a way, I will be grateful."
"There is no need to say the saying of being grateful. Mr. Su, please remember that our cooperation means that if you do well, this prince will benefit. This prince will not engage in loss-making business." Wu Tuo said.
"The prince will definitely not suffer any losses when doing business with me." Su Luocheng smiled, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why don't the prince tell me his plan?"
…
The chaos in the prime minister's house was quickly put in order by the second lady. It is true that she has been spying on the position of the master for many years. She has secretly imitated it many times and is not unfamiliar at all when she takes office.
When Ximen Yi and Su Ranqing got the news and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest lady's body had already been placed in the newly built mourning hall, and the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were already preparing funeral items such as mourning clothes and coffins.
Su Ranhua originally planned to leave, but the third lady revealed such a big deal and it was her aunt who died, so she stayed anyway.
Therefore, Su Ranhua inevitably met Ximen Yi Su Ran.
When he saw Su Ran's painting, Ximen Yi's face flashed with joy, which was fleeting.
Su Ranqing glanced at her hatefully and held Ximen Yi's arm tightly.
Feeling the force on his arm, Ximen Yi glanced sideways at Su Ranqing beside him, with disgust hidden in his charming smiling eyes.
"Your Majesty, my wife." The second lady came out of the eldest lady's mourning hall, saw Ximen Yi, and hurriedly came over to salute.
This etiquette is strange. Outside, you can be proud of your status as the prince's mother-in-law, but inside you have to be inferior to others and give gifts.
"Mom, what's going on? How come there are assassins in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Su Ranqing couldn't help but ask first.
"This..." The second lady hesitated, "Your aunt and I were having an argument over a trivial matter. Who would have thought that your aunt was suddenly stabbed to death? Her eyes were so wide open that she couldn't close her eyes!"
As she spoke, the second lady wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Go over and have a look." Ximen Yi walked into the mourning hall and saw that the eldest lady was covered by a piece of white cloth. He stepped forward and opened it. Sure enough, the eldest lady's eyes were wide open, surprised, confused and confused...
There was a deep stab wound on her neck with dried blood stains on it.
Ximen Yi stared at the wound, his slender eyes gradually narrowed.
"Mom, where is the murder weapon?" Su Ranqing only glanced at it and quickly looked away to ask the second lady.
"I didn't see the murder weapon." The second lady shook her head and said in fear, "She suddenly fell down in front of me. It was really terrible. If the person who was stabbed was me..."
"I will ask the Nanwang Mansion to help the Prime Minister's Mansion investigate this matter." Ximen Yi turned around and left the mourning hall.
"Your Majesty!" The second lady hurriedly caught up, "Your Majesty, please give me more help with the affairs of the Prime Minister's Office. Your Majesty is dedicated to serving the country and society loyally and assisting Your Majesty. He was just upset by the unexpected incident and made a mistake...
…”
"I know," Ximen Yi said, "I will not lose the prime minister's palace."
After receiving Ximen Yi's promise, the second lady felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't care if the eldest lady died and secretly cheered her. However, the prime minister's office cannot be dismissed forever, otherwise what is the difference between it and ordinary people?
Ximen Yi saw the subtle changes on the second lady's face and sneered secretly. If Su Luo City didn't have a strong family business and secretly controlled a group of people, he really wouldn't care about this good-for-nothing anymore.
The prime minister's strength in Su Luo City was that he did not hang himself in the court hall. Even if he was dismissed from the court, as long as he was still alive, he would still control some very important things.
"Where is the emperor's sister-in-law?" Ximen Yi asked the people on the side when he came out of the mourning hall and did not see Su Ranhua.
"Go back to your lord, Princess Bei has returned to the side courtyard." Someone returned.
"My lord, what are you doing with her?" Su Ranqing asked cautiously.
"Didn't you say that she was also present when the Second Madam and the First Madam had a dispute? I want to ask her." Ximen Yi glanced at Su Ranqing's jealous face and said nonchalantly.
"Oh." Su Ranqing couldn't say anything and nodded reluctantly.
"The second lady is very frightened. Please stay with her first." Ximen Yi walked a few steps and saw Su Ranqing following him like a tail. He frowned slightly in displeasure and turned around and said softly.
"Oh, yes." Su Ran had no choice but to stop and stared blankly at Ximen Yi walking towards the side courtyard alone.
