Your husband wants to divorce you during pregnancy? It’s up to you!

The assassination of the Prince Ning's mansion has been investigated for several months, but there is no definite news.

The Ning's mansion carefully investigated the maid and her parents, and finally found that the maid had followed her parents to visit her hometown for a period of time. After returning, her parents died soon after.

Because she was born in the palace and she was steady and proper, although she was an orphan, she was valued and trusted in the palace, so she was arranged to serve in the front hall when the prince got married.

Now think about it, it is very likely that it was at that time that the maid came into contact with people outside, or it is possible that the maid was replaced by someone with a similar appearance, so her parents died one after another.

Ning Wang reported the results of the investigation to the emperor, and was scolded again as expected.

But at least the suspicion of Ning Wang's mansion was cleared.

Of course, the emperor did not really suspect Ning Wang, but the incident happened in Ning Wang's mansion, so Ning Wang had to take responsibility.

Princess Ning was still unwilling to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although she had explained it to the emperor, she was still unwilling to let it go and continued to investigate secretly.

Although the emperor sent many people to investigate, there was no clear result.

At this time, news came from the Dali Temple that the assassin confessed!

"Call the Dali Temple Minister to see you."

Eunuch Hong quickly invited the Dali Temple Minister Pei Xiurong who was waiting outside the hall to come in. Even though it was already night, Pei Xiurong did not dare to delay and came quickly as soon as he got the news.

The emperor's face turned cold, and he said, "Tell me about it."

"Yes!"

Pei Xiurong sorted out his thoughts a little and reported, "When the prince handed over the assassin, he had already tortured her. The assassin was in poor health. After coming to the Dali Temple, he was tortured again, and combined with the mandrake flower that can make people unconscious, the assassin confessed, saying that her master's surname was Peng. Before the Ning Shizi's wedding, her master sent her a message, saying that if there was a chance, she would kill...kill the prince. She didn't know anything else."

The emperor looked at the Dali Temple Minister with a sharp gaze.

The Dali Temple Minister just lowered his head, his eyebrows did not move.

The emperor then asked, "How is the assassin now?"

Pei Xiurong replied carefully, "After the last severe punishment, he died not long after."

In fact, when the mastermind behind the scenes was asked, Pei Xiurong was not there. He had been enduring for several days in a row. He went to take a rest, but he didn't expect that the Dali Shaoqing would ask about the murderer.

He didn't want to go into it too much at the moment. It was important to report a result to the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor would be watching him every day, which would be too stressful!

After listening to the words of the Dali Temple, the emperor was silent for a while.

Then he heard Eunuch Hong come over and whispered: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yushi is asking for an audience outside the palace, saying that he has a report to report."

The emperor nodded: "Let him in."

Zhang Yushi was famous in the court for his uprightness and fearlessness. The Dali Temple looked at Zhang Yushi, wondering what had called him.

As soon as Zhang Yushi came in, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, angrily saying: "Your Majesty, I want to report that Peng Shangshu, as a veteran of two dynasties and a role model for students, did not teach his son strictly, did not cultivate personal morality, indulged his son to beat and abuse his wife, and raised boys and girls in the mansion to satisfy his own desires."

The emperor's face became worse after hearing this.

He replied, "In that case, order the imperial guards to search the residence of Minister Peng immediately."

After hearing this, Censor Zhang did not react for a while, and stared at the emperor with wide eyes. He had not yet taken out the letter and evidence given to him by the wife of Marquis Anding, so why did he go directly to search the residence of Minister Peng?

He thought that he would have to call Minister Peng and have a verbal battle with him and his supporters, but it might not necessarily produce any results!

For a while, Censor Zhang had a new understanding of his position in the emperor's heart!

The new leader of the imperial guards was recommended by the prince. Deng Zhijie, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Jining, was also the prince's companion like Shu Yuyang.

As soon as he heard the emperor's order, he immediately ordered people to rush to the Peng residence.

A large number of imperial guards were dispatched.

Everyone in the capital quickly got the news and paid attention to the movements of the imperial guards. Finally, they found that they were heading to the Peng residence.

When the imperial guards surrounded the Peng Mansion, Second Master Peng was returning to the mansion, trying to pull An Shaoyan to the bed, with two young children shivering beside him.

Until the steward of the front yard hurriedly came and knocked on the door, Second Master Peng anxiously ordered people to send the two children back to the cellar, and warned An Shaoyan again, and then he put on his clothes and went to the front yard.

On the side of Minister Peng, he also hurriedly ordered the two little girls who were warming the bed to retreat, straightened his clothes, and rushed to the front yard while listening to the report of the housekeeper.

"Master, the imperial guards came suddenly. Except for the people that Second Master took into the mansion, there is nothing unsafe for the time being."

As Minister Peng walked, he said, "It's too late to send them out now. Go to Second Master's place and see if the entrance to the cellar is hidden."

"Yes!"

The housekeeper hurried away.

Minister Peng had just arrived at the front hall, and Deng Zhijie had already brought people to the front hall.

Minister Peng said unhappily, "I don't know what I have done wrong? Chief Deng rushed in recklessly and entered the house!"

Deng Zhijie ignored him and ordered his guards to continue searching inside.

After everyone had arranged everything, he said calmly, "Sir Peng, I don't know what you have done wrong, but without the emperor's order, I can't privately mobilize the guards to search the Shangshu Mansion."

Minister Peng was frustrated. Although he was flustered, he still looked calm.

"I am innocent, so I will let you search and see what you can find!"

Other members of the Peng family also arrived one after another. Mr. Peng glanced at Mr. Peng without leaving a trace. Mr. Peng nodded slightly, and Mr. Peng was relieved.

The cellar was extremely hidden. As long as there was no thief, it would not be easy to find.

However, after a while, the guards appeared in the front hall with a group of young boys and girls. These children all had pretty faces. Some were twelve or thirteen years old, and some were only six or seven years old. Many of them were injured, and some even looked dying.

The faces of everyone in the Peng family changed instantly!

Minister Peng's face was pale and he almost fainted for a while.

Deng Zhijie quickly dragged the man and said with a smile: "Don't faint, Mr. Peng! You are a noble person who is innocent."

Then he pushed the man to his men and ordered: "Take away all the people in the Peng Mansion!"
