"What's this nonsense?" Xu Muhua was unhappy and wanted to have a thorough argument with Concubine Zhang, but Concubine Zhang didn't want to hear these nonsense and raised her hand to stop her.

"Shut up! I mean I have a good temper. Try it with someone else and see if the other person will give you a slap."

"Mother, you are too serious." If you say this in front of your elders, at most you will be scolded for being useless!

Hey, my queen doesn’t even understand that she would be the most promising if she could do this! How many people in the world can do this? The emperor cannot eat as he pleases!

Concubine Zhang stopped talking nonsense with her and just asked: "If I help you, how are you going to thank me?"

How can I thank you?

This question stumped her.

Xu Muhua couldn't be so shameless as to ask Concubine Zhang for help. She was not someone who wanted to repay favors.

"The empress lacks nothing, but the daughter of the people seems to have nothing to repay!"

Concubine Zhang's face turned dark.

What is there to do for nothing? From her point of view, she clearly just wants to get away with nothing!

So Zhang Guifei just looked at her expressionlessly and said nothing.

Xu Muhua thought that he was not a shameless person, so he was quickly defeated under Zhang Guifei's sarcastic gaze.

Alright alright!

"I don't know how your Majesty hopes the common people will repay your Majesty?" She had a polite and sincere smile on her face.

When she asked this question, Concubine Zhang didn't know how to answer, because she hadn't really thought about this question herself. I just said that casually. But when it comes to this, of course she can't push out others' repayments. Is she the kind of person who gives selflessly?

"I'll owe it to you now. I'll ask you for it later when I think of it."

Xu Muhua thought, wouldn't this be like writing a blank check? The risk is a bit high!

"Empress, you must be merciful when the time comes!"

Concubine Zhang glanced at her, "Look at your worthless look!"

"Then the daughter of the people, please leave it to the imperial concubine!"

"Don't worry, since I have taken over this matter, I will definitely handle it for you! Just wait for the news from me."

With Concubine Zhang's guarantee, Xu Muhua was indeed relieved.

The power of the beloved concubine cannot be underestimated!

Xu Muhua doesn't want to just pat his butt and leave after achieving his goal. So he stayed in Yikun Palace and racked his brains to make Concubine Zhang happy. Xu Muhua felt that at this moment, he looked like the kind of flattering eunuch on TV.

Finally, Concubine Zhang was happy and allowed her to have a meal. After having a good meal, she was released from the palace.

She just returned to her door after leaving the palace. The anxious-looking Shiliu who had been waiting for who knows how long ran over immediately when she saw her, and said in a hurry: "Miss, it's bad. You sneaked out last night, madam." Got it! Someone from Jingzhao Mansion said they wanted to ask Miss for questioning and investigation, and they also said they wanted to search Miss’s yard! Tell Miss, you and Brother Liang Ming were involved in some murder case!"

Xu Muhua was not surprised when he heard this, but felt that it was indeed the case!

If she was right, Li Gang probably did this!

She asked why he was so kind to let them go last night, and he was waiting for her here!

Just let people from Jingzhao Mansion come to your door. Once the news gets out, what will outsiders say? He couldn't wait to throw dirty water on Duke Cheng's mansion! She sneered, "I have never killed anyone."

The Emperor doesn't want her to admit anything she hasn't done!

As soon as he entered the front hall, the first thing Xu Muhua saw was not the fierce administrator of Jingzhao Mansion, but his mother, with a gloomy face, expressionless, and cold eyes looking at her. It made her heart tremble at the sight.

"Mom..." She walked over slowly, wanting to act coquettishly... but was stared at by Xu Mu's sharp eyes.

"Go sit over there and watch the trouble you've caused! You're getting bolder and bolder. Not only did you sneak out at night, but...you were also involved in some murder case. Yes! I think you are suitable for going to the border to fight with your father and your elder brother!" Xu's mother was really angry this time.

Xu Muhua couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It's not that I can't go, the scenery at the border seems to be pretty good..."

She treats it as a trip. As long as she has money, she will enjoy it wherever she goes.

"What are you muttering about?" Xu's mother couldn't help but raise her voice.

Xu Muhua immediately straightened his back, spread his shoulders, raised his head and said, "No, I didn't murmur anything! I was saying that I have nothing to do with any murder case. How dare I be related to the murder case? I am just a weak woman!"

"Madame, Miss Xu, we will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, but it is an indisputable fact that Miss Xu appeared at the scene last night. And we now have evidence to suspect that Miss Xu has something to do with you and the murderer last night. An extraordinary relationship.”

Xu Muhua paused.

Xu's mother also became nervous for a moment.

Before Mu Hua came back, the people from Jingzhao Mansion had already told her about the matter, but they didn't say that they had found evidence to prove that Mu Hua was related to this matter!

Of course she believed her daughter. She has the courage to sneak out, and she has the courage to do some weird things without telling herself, but she has absolutely no courage, and she will not harm anyone, let alone kill!

The child of Duke Chengguo will definitely not be a person with bad moral character!

Xu Muhua was a little curious and asked: "What evidence?"

"We found a letter somewhere close to the murderer's body. The letter had the family logo of Duke Chengguo on it."

Xu Muhua smiled, "What kind of evidence is this? Although each of our families has its own family logo, it does not mean that others will not use it. As long as anyone is bold enough, it is not difficult to forge such a logo on a letter. Isn’t it?”

"Having said that, it is true that only Duke Chengguo's palace is involved now and no one else is involved. Therefore, when we came here today, we followed the regulations. Please cooperate with Miss Xu and let us search your yard."

Xu's mother immediately objected: "This is not okay! How can my daughter's yard be searched by your husband at will? If this spreads out, will my daughter's reputation be lost? I have never heard of anyone letting the eldest daughter's yard be freely searched. Just go in and search casually!"

"Madame, the Duke of Guo, should we search it or ask Miss Xu to go back for interrogation? Which is more serious? Madam, the Duke of Guo, must think clearly!"

Xu's mother's face turned cold, "Do you think that since I have no one in the Duke's mansion, I can be bullied by others?"

"I don't dare. We also act according to the rules. Madam, it is actually best to deal with this matter before it gets bigger. Otherwise, the harm will be even greater."

Let's search it now. If it really has nothing to do with it, the suspicion will naturally be cleared. If you don't stop it, you will appear to be guilty. When everyone knows about this, won't the reputation of the Chengguo Palace be even worse?
