When Sun's mother heard Han Su's words, she couldn't help but stop. Her heart was frightened, "What happened again?"
Han Su stopped talking and said in embarrassment: "Xue Xiaowei was assigned by the old lady to investigate the cause of Xian Ning's death in Huiyue Residence, and accidentally found out some secret things. I don't know if this should be done or not. Tell the princess..."
When Mama Sun heard her mention Xian Ning, a hint of uneasiness flashed across her expression, but she quickly covered it up. She glanced at Guard Xue behind Han Su and said, "This is not the place to talk. Come with me!"
Han Su looked at her reaction and felt hatred surge in his heart.
Xue Ping had long suspected that he was in love with Sun's mother, but he had never known her motives before, so he kept it secret. It was not until that day that she told Xue Ping that Xian Ning's death should be the result of the princess's instructions, and the two of them gradually investigated. , confirmed that Mother Sun was the one who took action for the princess!
Hansu followed Sun's mother a few steps forward, looked around, and entered the house where she usually lived.
Xue Ping walked behind the two of them and closed the door.
Mother Sun subconsciously thought of the casings and asked, "What did Guard Xue discover? It's so hard to talk about. Could it be about the princess?"
The candles in the room were not lit, and the faint blue light of the night reflected on Han Su's face, vaguely depicting her outline.
Mother Sun watched the light and shadow on her face change little by little with her expression, and heard a low and cruel question in her ear: "Did the princess ask you to kill Xian Ning?"
Mother Sun's pupils shrank, she took a step back suddenly, and was about to open her mouth to call someone. Xue Ping didn't hesitate, turned around and kicked Sun's mother in the chest!
Hansu even heard the snap of a broken bone!
Mother Sun flew backwards, clutching her chest and vomiting a large mouthful of blood. Before she could utter a single word, she tilted her neck, lost all her strength, and stopped moving.
Han Su tensed up and looked at Mama Sun who fell to the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Xue Ping stepped forward, checked Sun's mother's breath and said hurriedly: "Dead."
Han Su's expression did not soften, and she still looked at Mother Sun angrily, "Why not strangle her to death with a rope, and then hang her on the rafter, so that people can see that she was silenced?"
Xue Ping looked at her, "I know you want Sun's mother to taste the pain of Xian Ning's death, but Xian Ning was put around the neck by Sun's mother and pulled to the beam to hang herself. The flaw was not obvious. As long as Sun's mother Mom wants to deny it, but we have no evidence at all. In the final analysis, the princess did not take me seriously and was not afraid that I would investigate in Huiyueju. Her miscalculation was that the old lady found casings in her room, which made the matter big. ”
He held Han Su's hand and said, "At this juncture, if Mother Sun dies, it will definitely attract attention. The second master will investigate in person, and the old lady will also ask questions. Strangling someone to death on a hanging beam can indeed It is obvious that she was killed, but it is too obvious, which makes people not believe it. After all, the princess is smart and will not use such a stupid method to silence her. If the second master notices something fishy because of this, the gain outweighs the loss. So we can't do it Too much, just let Mother Sun die naturally."
Han Su understood what he said before, but didn't understand the last sentence, "What does it mean to let her die naturally?"
Xue Ping stepped forward, squatted next to Sun's mother, pointed at her chest and said: "Last night, the second master knew that the princess was grounded, so he went to see the old lady, but was turned away. He was worried that something would happen to the princess, so he came from Xianning He sneaked into Huiyue Residence through the corner door he passed through before, but the princess had known that he would come, so she asked Mother Sun to guard there and persuade the second master to go back."
"Second Master was here last night?" Han Su obviously didn't know.
Xue Ping nodded, "The second master looks gentle, but he actually has his own ideas. He has to go to see the princess to ask the whole story. Mother Sun did not dare to tell the second master about the scandal of the casing, and she refused to let him go. , the second master got angry and kicked Sun’s mother in the chest.”
"So that's it." Han Su understood clearly, "If it had been in the past, the second master would never have walked through the corner door. Even if someone stopped him, no one could stop him. But after the uncle returned to the house, there were masters everywhere in the house. , he didn’t dare to do it blatantly, fearing that the old lady would know about it and it would be even more detrimental to the princess.”
“You’re right.” She rubbed her chest frequently, knowing that she must have suffered internal injuries, and her ribs had even been slightly broken. But Sun's mother acted as usual, so she just thought she was in pain. I kicked her just now and controlled the force, which must have caused She suffered broken ribs and punctured internal organs and died.”
Han Su also backed away from Sun's mother, "In this way, it looks more like an 'accidental' murder."
"Yes, I guess the second master will get suspicious and return soon. Let's go first."
Han Su pulled Xue Ping, "Brother Xue, can you really believe it?"
Hearing this, Xue Ping warned cautiously: "Hansu, if you want to get out of the quagmire of Huiyueju, from now on, you must believe in the eldest grandma wholeheartedly and follow the eldest grandma. This is your only chance, and the eldest grandma will only believe in you." This time, don’t make a mistake.”
Han Su bit her lip when she heard the words and nodded vigorously.

It was getting dark, and the patrolling guards in the city were getting denser. You could see people from the Soldiers and Horse Guards and the Jinyi Guards walking around in a few alleys.
Gongsun Yi rode his horse out of the house and went straight to the north city gate. On the way, he met a few young men in black clothes wearing bright clothes and angry horses. They were talking about how to cleanse Song Yang from the wind and dust.
Marquis Yongping took over the "Mu Family Army" and has been confronting Chongnan for two months. From being weak at the beginning to being evenly matched now, Qin Zeng's arrangement is indispensable. Although others are still in the capital, Marquis Yongping is now using troops The style is very different from the past. If you think about it, you will know whose hand it is.
Song Yang, the son of Marquis Yongping, and Chang Ze, who was with Qin Zeng, were escorting Mu Rencheng, who had collaborated with the enemy and treason, back to the capital.
Everyone in the Mu family was killed, but Mu Rencheng was left alive. Gongsun Yi certainly did not think that the emperor was just beheading Mu Rencheng in public as a warning and deterrence, and he must have wanted to get some news from him.
Qin Zeng had already discovered the existence of his master, and even Li Qingyi frequently attacked his mother and concubine, trying to get information about his master from their mother and son.
Gongsun Yi's hand tightened on the reins. Mu Rencheng would never return to Beijing alive.
While he was lost in thought, he heard someone saying, "Is Prince Gongsun going to leave the city?"
Gongsun Yi looked over and said, "What, are you not allowed to leave the city at this hour?"
The defender at the gate of the city said politely: "The two countries are at war, the city is on guard, and those with special identities entering and exiting the city must be routinely questioned. It is dark, and I just want to confirm the identity of the prince. I hope you can forgive me."
Gongsun Yi smiled gently and said, "Zhuangzi has some things to deal with, but it's nothing important."
The defender nodded and backed away, "Your Majesty, please do so."
Gongsun Yi clamped his horse's belly and prepared to leave the city. Then he reined in the horse and stopped, asking, "Did you notice the Zhenbei Prince's carriage leaving the city today?"
