Chapter 119 The Prince Is Back

His spy told him everything that happened.

When the emperor heard about the wolf pack guarding, a smile appeared on his face.

"It should be the little girl of the Shen family in Xiangyun Village, right?"

She always does something unusual, no wonder his son always likes to get along with her.

"Yes," the guard bowed his head and saluted: "However, I heard that this was not Miss Shen's intention, but Miss Shen helped to fulfill someone else's will."

The emperor's smile suddenly faded, and he asked in confusion: "Whose will?"

The guard hurriedly told the story of the Wu family, and by the way, he also handed over his investigation results.

"I thought it was an ordinary fire, but I went to Xitai Village to inquire about the news in person, and went to several government offices, and found some strange things. The death of the three members of the Wu family may not be an accident."

The emperor took the memorial and looked at it for a moment. His brows knitted more tightly, and his eyes were filled with displeasure.

The guard reported in a low voice: "The villagers of Xitai Village can indeed confirm that the Wu couple died in the fire, and some villagers saw black-clothed people entering and leaving their home that night."

"Coincidentally, Miss Shen also lived in the Wu family that night, and Wu Zuchang, the son of the Wu family who went up the mountain with her, died of a knife wound."

"However, the case record of the government office only wrote that the three members of the Wu family died accidentally, not murder."

After reading the memorial, the emperor guessed what happened with various clues.

"Damn it!" He slammed the memorial on the table, shaking the pen holder back and forth, showing that he was very angry.

The eunuch at the door was also frightened when he heard what he said.

Why did the emperor lose his temper so much?

"This is obviously aimed at Shen Ningning!" The emperor paced back and forth, like an irritable lion, with clouds gathering in his eyes, becoming deep and dangerous.

The guard nodded: "I think so too, but since the emperor started to pay attention to Miss Shen, he arranged for me to observe her."

"Miss Shen is kind, as evidenced by her reputation inside and outside Xiangyun Village, and she has simple interpersonal relationships and has never had any enemies. Why would someone kill a child?"

The emperor slowly sat back in his chair, his eyes became colder, revealing a strong murderous aura.

"Ling Wei... They know that Ling Wei is good friends with Shen Ningning." So, they want to wipe out his friends?

The guard didn't say anything, obviously agreeing with this view.

The emperor suddenly laughed, this laugh was piercingly cold, with terrifying anger.

"No wonder, no wonder! I said why Ling Wei didn't want Shen Ningning to enter the palace, it turns out that he had guessed it long ago, there are wolves around him, and everyone is staring at him."

"If you are not careful, even the friend he wants to make the most will be retaliated by others!"

He laughed and became bitter.

"Ling Wei has seen through things long ago, but I have been kept in the dark."

"Don't blame him for not being close to me!"

When the emperor said this, the guards did not dare to speak up.

"No... No..." He suddenly thought of something, and the look in his eyes flickered with the candlelight: "If they wanted to kill Shen Ningning, they would not kill all the people in the Wu family."

"What exactly do those people want to hide?" The emperor thought calmly.

Suddenly!

He said to the guards: "Go and investigate secretly. Has the Wu family been in contact with any suspicious people recently? No matter how big or small, find out everything for me!"

"Yes." The guard bowed and left, and hurried away in the night.

On the other side, the doors and windows of Concubine Li's palace were closed.

"Waste! Brother, you waste!" She cursed angrily.

The nanny who came to report the news knelt at her feet, scared out of her wits.

Just now, she told Concubine Li that Wei Shangshu helped Du Yuanwai arrange to hire a killer to assassinate Shen Ningning, but accidentally killed the fake family members that Concubine Li found for her.

Now Shen Ningning wants to avenge the Wu family, and she is holding on to this matter and making a lot of noise outside the city.

The emperor must have known about it.

Concubine Li was furious.

"He only knows how to cause trouble for me. When something happened, he remembered that I had warned him not to touch the people around the prince. Why didn't he listen?"

"If he hadn't intervened, maybe Shen Ningning really believed that the Wu family was her family. I could use the Wu family to control her, which is equivalent to planting an eyeliner next to the prince."

"Now it's good, Shen Ningning is disobedient, and the Wu family is dead. The emperor is about to check it out. I want to see how he ends this time!"

After Concubine Li said this, she was so angry that she had a headache and felt dizzy. She fell on the chaise longue.

Nanny hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, calm down and take care of yourself!"

How could Concubine Li calm down?

The emperor favored the prince. For so many years, she only dared to do some trivial tricks that were not painful.

But once she offended the prince, Mo Lingwei, the mad dog, not only made her son disabled, but also remained at large.

If Mo Lingwei knew that Wei Shangshu had hired assassins to target Shen Ningning...

Concubine Li shuddered.

Her beautiful face was pale with fear, as if she had seen a ghost.

"You!" She grabbed the collar of the nanny like crazy: "You leave the palace immediately and tell my brother to kill all the murderers, not one of them is allowed to stay!"

The nanny was slow to react, so Concubine Li urged and screamed: "Go quickly!"

"Yes... yes!" The nanny rolled and crawled out.

However.

When the news reached Wei Shangshu's mansion, he was also anxious and sweating.

"Kill them all? Those assassins have not come back until now."

Not only that, it was said that Shen Ningning caught a live one and hid it.

We must wait for Mo Lingwei to return to Beijing and let him investigate.

Once the prince intervenes, this matter will be troublesome.

He hurriedly asked the housekeeper: "Is the third brother back?"

The housekeeper was sweating profusely. After searching for a long time, he reported: "No... No, the third master hasn't come back for two days. I don't know where he went."

"This bastard, he spends his days drinking and partying outside, and he doesn't know when the disaster is coming." Wei Shangshu was anxious.

Concubine Li bribed the Wu family and asked Wei Sanye to come forward.

He was afraid that there would be some handle in the benefits given to the Wu family, so he had to inform the third brother in advance.

But unexpectedly, Wei Sanye had been missing for two days.

Wei Shangshu immediately ordered: "Send more people to find him, go to the brothels and concubines' homes where he usually goes, and dig three feet deep to drag him back!"

The housekeeper and the guards were busy.

Wei Shangshu felt that this was not enough. He called his confidant and asked him to go to Xiangyun Village tomorrow and bring Shen Ningning to the capital.

If there is anything, sit down and discuss it. If Shen Ningning wants to seek justice for the Wu family, she can find a scapegoat for her.

In short, this matter must be handled before the prince returns.

He must not find out that the Wei family is the mastermind behind the scene.

Not only the Wei family, but other high-ranking officials and dignitaries were afraid that it was their own playboys who did it after hearing the news of the Wu family's tragic death.

So every household conducted a thorough investigation overnight to ensure that it had nothing to do with their family. Even if there were naughty boys in the family, they were not allowed to go out in the past few days to avoid getting into trouble.

That night, Shen Ningning slept soundly.

She didn't know that her actions had shaken the entire capital three times.

The next morning.

The guards arranged by Wei Shangshu rushed to Xiangyun Village and planned to take Shen Ningning away.

However, before they entered the village, they saw that the prince's carriage had actually stopped at the entrance of the village.

Wei Shangshu's people were almost scared to death.

How could they know that the prince went straight to Xiangyun Village as soon as he came back, and didn't even return to the palace!

The guards were pale and their legs were weak: "Quick, let's go back and inform the adults, something happened."

The prince saw Shen Ningning first, so he must know about the Wu family.

It's over, it's completely over now!
