As soon as the stunning daughter-in-law opened her eyes, the abstinent prince pinched her waist and

"How unreasonable!" Huan Yu said angrily, "Brother and sister-in-law! There are spies in your East Palace!"

Huan Chuan nodded and ordered: "Song Yun, take someone to check around to see if there are any potential safety hazards."

Guo Songyun nodded and turned to call for someone.

"Wait!" County Lord Lehui stopped Guo Songyun, his eyes flickering brightly, "This... big brother! Thank you for saving me just now!"

Guo Songyun saluted: "This is the dereliction of duty of the humble official. I dare not be the county lord. I will ask His Royal Highness for punishment when I look back."

After saying that, he turned and left.

County Master Lehui looked at his imposing back and pursed her lips.

……

The green alum oil must have been deliberately done by someone in order to create trouble and damage the reputation of the East Palace.

Huan Chuan took Qin Lang, Guo Songyun, and Xiao Shi to investigate in person, and found suspicious footprints on the tree.

Judging from its size and depth, it should be the footprints of a man with a small weight.

At the same time, there are bryophytes on the trees that do not exist on the ground, and there are also traces of being stepped on.

They immediately launched a search, and searched the entire East Palace, including the officials who lived in the East Palace, as well as the two talents Tuoba Ronghua and He Chang.

Finally, from an eunuch in Dongyeyuan, a shoe with moss on the sole was found, which was also the same size as the suspicious footprint.

At the same time, near his residence, a bottle containing the oil of vitriol was dug up.

Unfortunately, when he was found, he was already a dead man, drowned in the lake.

Bai Xianyuan deeply felt that in the East Palace, there were countless spies planted from all sides.

But they couldn't send all these court ladies and eunuchs away. Once the East Palace was the same as the Imperial Palace, they had to use court ladies and eunuchs.This batch has left, and a new batch has arrived, but I still don't know the details.

Both of them were sent by the empress, if they were to be driven away, it would be disrespectful to the empress.

The queen and the Mu family are definitely not happy, and some people will take this matter to participate in the prince.

Therefore, they can only strengthen their defenses.

……

The next day, Huan Chuan handed over to Mu Yu the mother of the little maid who brought wine to Bai Xianyuan.

Sure enough, the little maid changed her mind, saying that the real behind-the-scenes messenger is her immediate boss, the chief eunuch who manages Mingchi.

It was also him who threatened her to frame Mu Qingfeng.

And when the chief eunuch was found, he was also dead.

Someone wiped his neck in his residence, bleeding all over the bed...

Huan Chuan looked at his body and didn't speak for a long time.

He felt that in this complicated capital city, there was such a force that not only wanted to deal with him, but also wanted them to fight against the Mu family.

Who could it be?

Other aristocratic families who want to step on the Mu family and the Bai family?

Or the emperor?

Or a spy from the Northern Dynasties?
……

After Mu Qingfeng was released without charge, Bai Xianyuan specially invited the Second Princess to the East Palace.

The Second Eldest Princess brought a thank you gift, and thanked Bai Xianyuan politely.

Bai Xianyuan said: "The prince never intended to let the real culprit go, and has been sending people to investigate the matter. If he hadn't been investigating, he would not have been able to rescue the hostages in just one day, right?"

With the help of Huan Chuan, Mu Qingfeng escaped from the crime. No matter what she thought in her heart, the Second Princess naturally had to be polite and said, "I blamed him wrongly. I will apologize to him face to face later."

"You are an elder, so it's fine to apologize." Bai Xianyuan said, "Can you please tell me who spread the rumor to you, saying that the prince fell into trouble and framed Mr. Mu?"

The Second Princess frowned and remained silent.
