Hearing this, Su Mumu confirmed her judgment. Cao Tianyun should have died of a sudden myocardial infarction and had nothing to do with Nan Mulin's acceptance. It's just that after all, there must be an explanation after all.

"Does your uncle usually suffer from heartache?"

The entourage did not dare to lie and simply nodded in agreement.

"At that time, after being pushed by King Rui's subordinates, did his lips appear blue, and the tips of his ten fingers were also all blue, and he had difficulty breathing, but he died in a moment?"

After hearing that Su Mumu's words were so apt and consistent with Cao Tianyun's symptoms before his death that day, as if they were present at the scene in person, the entourage was extremely surprised.

"Yes, as the emperor said, Cao Tianyun did have such symptoms at that time."

Su Mumu smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Lin Shangqing, judging from Cao Tianyun's dying symptoms, it should be severe heartache. The simplest way to call it is sudden myocardial infarction. It is a sudden death syndrome. It has nothing to do with the dispute with King Rui..."

Hearing only the words "irrelevant", Lin Shangqing bowed and was about to continue playing, but was stopped by Su Mumu with a gesture in time. Su Mumu continued to speak.

"But after all, the dispute with King Rui can be regarded as an inducement, and the minister of the Ministry of War was destroyed by the two kings, leaving Cao Tianyun alone to survive. Who knows that Cao Tianyun was not spared. Therefore, I ordered King Rui to donate 100,000 taels of silver to the Ministry of War.

Lin Shangqing, what do you think of the palace treasury being replenished with the minister's inheritance as punishment for King Rui?"

Despicable and shameless! After going around and around, the emperor was the one who benefited the most. Not only did Lin Shangqing, who took advantage of the situation, not succeed in venting his anger and punished Nan Mulin, but he also let Su Mumu sit back and enjoy the results, getting all these benefits in vain. He was angry in his heart, but he was not happy on his face.

I wanted to show it off so as not to be criticized. I had no choice but to bow down and praise him.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, if this is the case, King Rui will have to collect the money three days after the Minister of War and his family are buried, and return it to the national treasury together with the inheritance. I wonder if King Rui can do it?"

One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Of course Su Mumu will not guarantee it for Nan Mulin.

"This depends on King Rui's ability. However, King Rui has not come to court today, so I will order someone to pass the order and order him to prepare immediately. If King Rui fails to complete the task within the time limit, he will be guilty of two crimes together.

The punishment will be determined separately."

There was no choice but to do this. Lin Shangqing was unwilling to quit the court and Su Mumu ordered people to follow him secretly.

Arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Su Mumu began to do her daily homework, read memorials, and learn how to correct herself.

While I was immersed in reading, I suddenly heard someone making a noise outside the door.

"What's the matter?"

Rubbing her eyes and raising her head, Su Mumu frowned and signaled Forsythia to go to the door to check.

"Your Majesty, it is King Rui who wants to see the Emperor."

Su Mumu, who had been waiting for a long time, raised her eyebrows.

"Let him in."

Forsythia stepped forward and opened the door, and saw King Rui's guards quarreling with the guards, and hurriedly spoke to stop them.

"Prince Rui, your Majesty invites you."

In one sentence, all disputes ceased. Nan Mulin strode forward to the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, the death of Cao Tianyun has nothing to do with me. What's more, I have just accepted the matter. How can I get the one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

After taking a slow sip of tea, Su Mumu raised her eyes and looked at Nan Mulin whose expression changed slightly.

"If everything is so easy, why would I make you the king? Since there is a problem, you, Prince Rui, have to find a way to solve it. Only in this way can you prove that I made you the king is the most correct decision, blocking everyone.

I have given you the opportunity to speak, Prince Rui. Whether Prince Rui cherishes it or not depends on Prince Rui’s ability.”

He knew that Su Mumu was using and observing him. If this matter could not be completed, he would most likely be deported by Su Mumu. At that time, he would only have one place to live in exile in Beijing, and if he went to Beijing, he would probably have no way out. He weighed his options.

Nan Mulin had no choice but to grit his teeth and say yes to the weight.

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise, but King Rui is too stupid to understand His Majesty's will. I will go and deal with it now, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Very well-behaved, Su Mumu waved her hand off with satisfaction.

"Okay, I believe that King Rui will be able to take care of everything. Go quickly. I am waiting for your good news."

After exiting the imperial study, Nan Mulin returned to Prince Rui's Mansion with a heavy heart and sat in the front hall with a frown on his face.

A servant brought tea and put it in Nan Mulin's hand. Nan Mulin took a few sips, felt upset, and threw the tea cup on the table.

"Prince Rui is worried?"

The servant serving the tea did not leave immediately, but only watched Nan Mulin's words and expressions.

"Back off..."

When he discovered that the servant serving tea was talking boldly and gibberish, Nan Mulin ordered him to step back displeased.

"Prince Rui, please calm down. I know Prince Rui's troubles, so I'm here to share your worries."

He looked at it carefully and suspiciously. He had an ordinary face, except that there was a huge mole with several hairs growing out of it at the corner of his mouth, which was very strange.

"Who are you to speak like this?"

Seeing that Nan Mulin was angry, the man smiled and bowed to reply.

"I am Zhou Wang, the steward of Prince Zhao's Mansion in Xiayuan."

Then, with Nan Mulin's permission, Fu Er whispered a few words to Nan Mulin. Nan Mulin's face changed from dark clouds to clear in an instant.

"really?"

Zhou Wang replied with a flattering smile on his face.

"Of course, the villain has been working in Prince Zhao's palace for many days, and this secret was discovered by the villain accidentally."

Nan Mulin, who couldn't sit still at all, immediately said to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion. As soon as he said the word "go", Nan Mulin suddenly stopped in alarm.

"Hold on, I suddenly remembered that I still have some important things to do. I will wait until I come back before making any plans."

After taking a few steps outside the door, Nan Mulin turned back.

"Zhou Wang, you must not mention this matter to anyone else. I will not treat you badly."

Somewhat puzzled by Nan Mulin's behavior, Zhou Wang had no choice but to nod and obey.

He ordered people to take good care of Zhou Wang and entertain him with good food and drinks. Nan Mulin entered the palace again to see Su Mumu.

Seeing Nan Mulin come to see her again, Su Mumu joked funnyly.

"When did Prince Rui become so attached to Xihe Palace that he never gets tired of going in and out several times a day?"

Being ridiculed by Su Mumu, Nan Mulin turned a deaf ear and spoke out the request directly.

"Your Majesty, I have come to ask Your Majesty to grant me military power. Only with military power can I have hope for my one hundred thousand taels of silver. I wonder if Your Majesty will agree."

It turned out that he was here to ask for military power. Military power is the most important thing in state affairs, so how could he hand it over casually? Su Mumu thought twice and refused to agree.

"Your Majesty, I ask you, why is it that a fox has meat in its mouth, but cannot hold it back and is snatched away by a wolf?"

Su Mumu knew Nan Mulin's intention, but just kept silent.

Seeing that Su Mumu didn't answer the question, he knew that Su Mumu was deliberately avoiding it and didn't trust him at all.

"Since the Emperor does not trust me to hold military power, I will only apply for the position of leader of the Imperial Guards. I wonder if the Emperor will agree?"
