In recent days, the weather around the capital had been dry. It had been two months since he had seen rain.

The day before yesterday, he had picked a husband to go up the mountain to gather firewood, but he had never thought that when he came down the mountain, the sky would be covered by dark clouds, and heavy rain would suddenly fall.

Just as he was thinking of going to the small temple to take shelter from the rain, he discovered that the small temple had already been burnt, and there was even a charred corpse inside, thus he came to the Jing Zhao Mansion to report this.

Sun Jinzi brought Mu Tan to Jing Zhao Mansion, where the Lord of Prefect was already waiting at the door.

"The micron gives!"

Without waiting for him to finish, he was interrupted by Sun Jinzi.

"Master, where are you looking for the Jade Plate?"

The first thing Sun Jinzi saw was the Jade Plate, it was the only clue and proof of Mu Lan's death.

As a result, Mu Lan was Grand Imperial Consort's personal maid, so the Jing Zhao Mansion was extremely attentive to this case. The Jade Plate was then taken away by the Prefect himself.

"It's this piece of Jade Plate with the word 'Mu Lan' carved on it. It must be Miss Mu Lan's treasure."

This piece of Jade Plate was something that Mu Tan had seen countless times, and she only needed a glance to know if this was Mu Lan's treasure or not.

"Mu Lan, this is Mu Lan's Jade Plate, I've seen it before."

Mu Tan was the first to shout out loud. That Jade Plate had a small corner accidentally knocked out by Mu Lan, and she was even feeling sad for a long time.

Sun Jinzi was much calmer than Mu Tan. Although the pain in her heart was once again evoked, she did not cry.

"My lord, did you find anything else at the scene of the crime?"

This Jade Plate was Mu Tan's, and in the end, it appeared outside the small temple. What did the person who was burned to death have to do with Mu Lan's death?

Prefect nodded and said, "Reporting to First Prince's Consort, there have been no new discoveries."

"What was the cause of death in the temple? Could it be that it was burned alive? "

On the way here, Sun Jinzi had already heard from the two officials that the victim was a man in his prime.

"The deceased was stabbed in the vital parts while he was still alive and was seriously injured. I assume he didn't die at that time. He was burned to death and the coroner was examining his corpse."

Sun Jinzi asked the Prefect to bring him to the autopsy room. This was the only chance to find the reason for Mu Lan's death, something that she absolutely could not miss.

When they entered the autopsy room, Sun Jinzi saw a coroner who was around thirty years old cleaning up the instruments used to examine the corpses. It seemed that the results of the autopsy had already come out.

"How did this man die?"

"Reporting to Grand Imperial Consort, the victim was stabbed in the middle with a dagger-like weapon. She fell to the ground after being heavily injured and was burned to death by the fire."

Sun Jinzi walked over and removed the white cloth covering the corpse. A charred corpse appeared in front of him, and he was unable to identify it. She saw that the dead man's right hand was not burnt black like her left. Her five fingers were tightly clenched, as if she were holding something.

Prefect ordered a few bailiffs to step forward and open the corpse's hands. Maybe it was because he had been burnt to death, causing the corpse to be in extreme pain, his right hand was like a rock that had been formed naturally, it took a long time to open the corpse's hands.

A glowing green pummelo fructus fell from the corpse's hands.

The sky was dark and there were fewer and fewer people on the street.

A luxurious carriage slowly drove towards the outskirts of the city. Inside the carriage was a tall and thin youth, wearing a black bamboo hat on his head. A pair of black eyes looked out of the window, the sky was getting darker.

The horse carriage drove all the way to a tavern on the outskirts of the city. Although this place was close to the capital, it was remote and sparsely populated.

The young man slowly walked down from the carriage, Coachman drove the carriage into the forest beside the tavern.

The cold wind blew drearily. The youth quietly walked into the tavern.

After entering the tavern, the young man took off the black hat on his head, revealing a handsome face.

It was indeed the First Prince Jin Chua Ao. He had come here to meet with the Mrs. Oran.

Jin Chuao never thought that Mrs. Oran would choose to meet at such a remote place, but this was good too, it could hide things from others.

"First Prince, you're here."

Lance's had arrived here half a day ago, so she knew that Jin Chuao would definitely come to fulfill his promise.

"Third Wife invited me here. I wonder what important matter you have?"

Jin Chuao never had a good impression of Advice Sun, even if the last time he saw Sun Jinzi in the Ancestral Hall, as well as when he intercepted his letters to Jin Chupei, she had to hand them to him, so that he wouldn't be kept in the dark forever.

But he just didn't like the cold and deep aura on Mrs. Oran's body, even if the two of them were to become allies in the future.

"Does First Prince recognize this jade bracelet?"

Lance's took out the crystal clear white jade bracelet from her bosom. It was precisely the bracelet that Jin Chuao had sent someone to give to Sun Jinzi that day.

The person who sent the jade bracelet back said that the gift had been delivered and it was unknown how it ended up in Lance's's hands.

Jin Chuao's face became extremely ugly, and said: I wonder, where did Third Wife get this jade bracelet from? A few days ago, I lost a priceless white jade bracelet. I didn't expect to see it here today. "

When Lance's heard that Jin Chuao was calling him a thief, he was not angry at all.

The reason why she came here today was to ally with Jin Chuao and have her daughter become his future First Prince's Consort. She also wanted to cooperate with Jin Chuao to get rid of him and the two people from Zhong's mother and daughter.

I heard from Ning Er that this was a gift from First Prince to Second Miss, and coincidentally, she went to intrauterine that day, so Ning Er took it in on her behalf.

When Lance's said till here, his voice changed once again, "Especially regarding the matter of Second Miss and Sixth Prince's secret relationship, which caused the entire city to be in an uproar. It's said that it's because the emperor heard that Sixth Prince gave Second Miss a present, that's why he's punishing Sixth Prince so heavily.

How could Jin Chuao not know the whole story? Although he liked girls, his IQ was not low.

If Lance's gave the jade bracelet to the Emperor, he would expose the gift that he had given Sun Jinzi that day. That would also clear up the crime for Jin Chupei, how could he be willing to see that?

"Thank you Third Wife for showing mercy. I, Jin Chuao, will definitely remember your kindness."

Lance's revealed a happy expression, even if Jin Chuao was a wolf, wouldn't that mean I have to tame it?

"I believe that this First Prince has received a letter from this Second Miss. I wonder what this First Prince plans to do with this matter?"

The Lance's took every step carefully, wanting to lure Jin Chuao into his trap.

Jin Chuao was currently being controlled, hearing the tone of the Lance's, he seemed to have an idea. Since this woman was so scheming, he might as well listen to her.

"I still haven't thought of how to punish that little slut Sun Jinzi. As for that Sixth royal brother, she must have been charmed by that fox spirit and will naturally understand it in the future. I wonder what ideas do you have?"

The Lance's spoke slowly and with care, "Cut the weeds and remove the roots."

Cutting the grass and eliminating its roots, Jin Chuao was also shocked by Lance's's words. Although there was bound to be a life and death battle between Jin Chupei and himself sooner or later, Jin Chupei had not lost the Emperor's favor this time, and it was only a small punishment.

Amongst the princes, there was no one who didn't know of Jin Chuao's ruthless and ruthless methods.

Lance's knew that Jin Chuao must have his reservations, so he said: "Time is of the essence, the timing is only grasped by humans."

"Then, according to what Third Wife said, what should I do next? I want to hear it. "

Jin Chuao could also see that the Lance's had a plan in mind, and wanted to hear what plans the woman had.

Lance's whispered a few sentences into Jin Chuao's ears, listening to him constantly nodding his head.

That day, after Sun Jinzi returned from the Jing Zhao Mansion, he returned to the Sun Mansion not too long after.

Sun Fuping sent someone to invite her back, because First Prince's Imperial Consort Yu was about to visit the Sun Mansion, and wanted to see the concubine the Emperor had chosen for his son.

The news of Sun Jinzi and Sixth Prince having an affair was spread widely in the capital and in the imperial court, so naturally, the Imperial Consort Yu had heard of it.

Twenty years ago, she was sent to the Jin Country to be betrothed with her husband and married to Jin Chuyi, who was still the crown prince at the time. After the crown prince ascended the throne, she became the esteemed Empress of the Western Palace.

In the Jin Country's imperial harem, the Three Palaces were all extremely respectful. The Middle Palace Mistress was the Sixth Prince's birth mother and the Eastern Palace Mistress was a Imperial Concubine Zhuang born in a wealthy family.

When Sun Jinzi heard that the Imperial Consort Yu wanted to come to the Sun Mansion, although she was unwilling, in her heart, she knew that this matter was extremely important and she could not afford to be careless.

This was not only related to the fate of Sun Mansion's family, it was also related to the fate of both Dingguang Mansion and herself.

Imperial Consort Yu was famous for being a good person in the intrauterine, she treated her servants amiably and often bestowed gifts to the palace maids and eunuchs, thus she had a good reputation as a good concubine in the imperial court, and was very favored by Jin Chuyi.

Sun Fuping had been visiting Sun Jinzi every day. Every timehe came, she would give instructions to the servants to cook the bird's nest well, and the various nourishing items would be sent to her room.

Even though Zhong's was unhappy in his heart, he could do nothing about it. No matter how powerful the Prime Minister's Estate was, he was still just a subject belonging to the imperial family.

She was also busy instructing the servants of the domestic servant to buy all kinds of things, and to get the best out of them all.

The fact that the Imperial Consort Yu was able to visit the Sun Mansion was the glory of her, the manager's mother. Thinking about it like this, she felt very stifled in her heart.

Sun Jinzi was like a national treasure that was placed on top of the altar, she recuperated in the Jing Xin Yuan every day, and the color of her face became better and better every day. She was a beauty in the first place, but now her skin was snow white and her eyes flowing like the waves, she was even more breathtaking.

"Miss, you're just like the fairy Yao Chi described in the book. You're otherworldly and beautiful beyond compare."

Mu Tan saw that Sun Jinzi's body was gradually recovering and felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

She had been in the Sun Mansion since she was young and had never read many books. When she was on the streets, she heard that the woman in the book was as otherworldly as Fairy Yao Chi, she had praised Sun Jinzi's beauty.

Sun Jinzi's eyes were filled with shyness, her limpid eyes were filled with laughter: "You little girl, are you making fun of me? Beautiful is used to describe scenery, not to describe people's looks."

Mu Tan did not care, and laughed: "I don't care how beautiful you are, since Miss is the most beautiful woman in Sun Mansion."
