She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 442: Being clever but being misled by cleverness

I didn't expect that the government office was quite quick in handling such a case, but it seems more like they are covering up something.

"How are we going to deal with the coroner?" Mo Yunzheng frowned. Things like this should be handled by a coroner.

Shang Chengfeng was a little helpless. It was really hard to mention it. The coroner didn't even perform an autopsy, and the girl's family didn't come either.

Seeing his expression, Mo Yunzheng guessed something. It seemed that this case would be concluded as suicide.

No family members claimed the body, and the girl left nothing behind, so there was no where to start looking.

"I'm going to the government office." Mo Yunzheng was silent for a long time and then stood up. He wanted to go and take a look in person.

Who is the person behind the Misty Rain Tower that could have caused the government office that was supposed to care about the people to become like this?

"Are you crazy? We came out secretly in the first place. If His Majesty knew about this, you would lose your position as the Crown Prince!"

Shang Chengfeng was a little annoyed. Could he put himself in their shoes? They were just ordinary citizens in Yuancheng. If others knew about it, they would be in big trouble.

"I didn't say to go in openly." He said helplessly, of course he went in in another way.

In the huge hall, Ye Xuwan stretched lazily out of boredom. She didn't know when he would be back.

They told everyone that he was out training troops, but how long could they keep this secret?

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, Her Majesty Shufei invites you to have a chat."

The palace maid came in to report. Ye Xuwan was slightly stunned and immediately agreed. What was this Concubine Shu going to do?

She dressed up and went to Concubine Shu's palace. As soon as she sat down, the palace maid brought her hot tea.

"Try the new sprouts from Jiangnan." Concubine Shu stood in front of the green plants with a pair of scissors in her hand, trimming off the extra branches.

The first taste is the fragrance surrounding the mouth, and the aftertaste is a little sweet.

"Good tea." Ye Xuwan curled the corners of her mouth. This tea is good stuff, and she doesn't have it.

"This was sent by my family. You can take some back." As soon as Concubine Shu finished speaking, the palace maid beside her brought up the exquisite shared gift.

Ye Xuwan nodded slightly, and Hua Ying immediately stepped forward to take the things.

"I wonder what the Empress Shufei wants me to do?" She spoke slowly, her eyes fixed on the person in front of her.

Shufei is an old lady in the palace, but time has not left any traces on her face, she still looks the same.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is not in the palace, so you have a very leisurely life."

Ye Xuwan was slightly stunned and smiled, "Your Highness has gone to train the troops and is in the palace."

Such words are just excuses, but anyone who knows the prince knows that such words are just to cover up his whereabouts.

"Where did he go?" Concubine Shu stopped what she was doing and threw the branch to the ground. Saying that he went to train the troops could only deceive the ministers outside.

What's more, those ministers would not believe it, but they had to pretend to believe it even if they didn't. This was the social etiquette in the palace, and they had no choice but to do so even if they didn't want to.

"Harajiro."

Ye Xuwan spoke helplessly, there was no point in lying to Concubine Shu, she knew everything.

Now that Concubine Lin's situation is over, her family can no longer be relied upon, and the ones left are those who have climbed to the top through their connections with her over the years, and they hold very little power.

"Yuancheng Yanyu Tower, the property of the eldest prince." Mo Qingsong? He actually has a connection with a brothel?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuwan's face immediately darkened. The prince was not in the palace, and Mo Qingsong must have known about this a long time ago.

"Why do you say that, Your Majesty?" Ye Xuwan spoke up immediately. If there was no solid evidence, it would be a false accusation, even if she was the Empress Shu.

The eldest prince is of the emperor's bloodline, and opening a brothel privately is a serious crime. Moreover, in this dynasty, businessmen are not considered to be mainstream, and the dominant forces are more literati.

"The person in charge of Yanyu Tower is Mo Qingsong's man. To be more precise, he is from Concubine Lin's family." This relationship is very superficial and can be found out with just a little investigation.

As long as they are related, they will not be able to refuse, and the girls in Yanyu Tower will become the best witnesses.

"How could the Imperial Concubine be so careless as to use her own people?" Ye Xuwan frowned. If something went wrong, it would only bring trouble to herself. This was a little unreasonable.

"Have you ever heard a saying?" Concubine Shu raised the corner of her mouth and showed a faint smile. Concubine Lin is smart, but even smart people can be misled by themselves sometimes.

She had been too shrewd in the palace over the years and too confident in her own methods.

"Madam, please speak?"

"The most dangerous is the safest." Concubine Shu spoke slowly. If it had not happened by accident, the prince would not have known about this matter.

There is indeed nothing wrong with what he said, but Ye Xuwan still felt that things were not simple.

She sat for a while, then immediately stood up, bowed, and hurried back to the hall.

The pigeon landed on her hand, and she immediately tied the note to the pigeon's leg, hoping that the news would not be too late.

On a dark and windy night, a carriage quietly entered the city and stopped outside a clinic. The person in black pushed the door open and went in.

After passing through the layers of doors behind the clinic, the visitor finally took off his hood.

"See Your Highness."

Mo Qingsong looked at the person in front of him and raised his hand. Now was not the time to talk about rules. He wanted to know how the matter in Yanyu Tower was handled.

Now Mo Yunzheng is using the excuse of military training, but he is no longer in the imperial city. However, his people have not found any trace of the prince in the original city. Where did he go?

"How was it handled?"

Lichuan's face darkened and he hesitated before telling the story of what had happened.

"What! Another one died! How do you do things?" Mo Qingsong was very angry and kicked the person kneeling in front of him to the ground.

No matter how he does things, someone has died in Yanyu Tower again, and Mo Yunzheng will not let go.

"Your Highness, please calm down. We have already dealt with it." Lichuan spoke immediately. Only the people of Yuancheng knew about the death. The government office had already established good relations and they would not go against the prince.

"Don't use my name when you do things outside. Just take the money and don't cause me any trouble."

Mo Qingsong's face looked very ugly, but now except the person in front of him, he couldn't find anyone who could handle the matter of Yanyu Tower. The only thing he could do now was to coax him.

"I understand, Your Highness, the Crown Prince did not show up in Yuancheng. Aren't we going a little too far?" Lichuan spoke in a low voice. Isn't this just worrying about nothing?

The prince's whereabouts are erratic and we haven't found him yet.

Mo Qingsong frowned. His intuition told him that Mo Yunzheng was secretly investigating the affairs of Yanyu Tower, but no one knew where he was now.

"He is the prince, so naturally he wants to oppose me in every way. This is just in case." (End of this chapter)
