"Not looking for it."
Ghost Hand had never thought about getting married and having children. If that person wasn't A-Yue, he wouldn't even consider it.
It is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Pei requests an audience."
Murong Yu was very busy and didn't feel comfortable letting him take care of the child with the Empress, so he felt that Ghost Hand was the real father.
He was unhappy.
"The child and A-Yue are asleep, come out."
"Otherwise, people will gossip."
Ghost Hand sneered, "Are you afraid of gossip, or are you unhappy about this divine doctor being with A-Yue?"
"Yes, I have both." Murong Yu did not deny it.
"You may come in when I am here, but otherwise stay outside and do not come in."
"Go to the Pei family now and help Old Madam Pei with her health."
Ghost Hands looks like he's giving you a hard time, but if you don't do it, the two of you will fight without disturbing the child.
The three little ones are so cute, he couldn't bear to see them cry.
"Hmph, if you spare the person who harmed A-Yue, then I'll kill him in my own way."
After saying that, Ghost Hand left.
Murong Yu frowned, glanced at the child, and then came out to see Pei Shang.
"Cousin, how is the young prince? I heard he was poisoned. Is he out of danger now?"
"Ah."
Pei Shang looked much more haggard. He was caught in the middle, with his biological father on one side and his cousin on the other, which was really hard for him.
“You can punish Father for what he did. But can you release Ah Heng? He is innocent; he didn’t participate in what Father did.”
Murong Yu said, "That depends on Prime Minister Pei's attitude."
"Go to the prison to see him. If you can persuade him to resign and leave the capital, then I can release Aheng."
Pei Shang thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."
"So, my cousin only asked my father to resign from his official post?"
Murong Yu said, "There's also a roster, showing who's behind his collaborations."
"Isn't she my aunt?"
"What do you think?"
Pei Shang's expression changed slightly as he immediately thought of a terrible possibility.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Liang requests an audience. He says he has captured the assassin who killed Ghost Hand."
Murong Yu and Pei Shang looked at each other in bewilderment.
Soon, Prince Liang entered and said, "Your Majesty, the assassin who killed Ghost Hand has been caught."
"Didn't they say they were all dead?" Murong Yu glanced at the people being brought in.
“One of them was injured and ran away. It was him. He came from the southern border. He knows Gu magic and has been hiding and recuperating these days.”
"I found him and arrested him."
Murong Yan explained the whole story clearly.
"Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate the Ghost Hand Doctor?"
The man in black was a young boy, bound hand and foot with iron chains, and had suffered some internal injuries. "We were not ordered to do anything. We just make a living. We do whatever high-paying jobs we receive."
"I'll kill whoever pays me."
Pei Shang asked, "Then who paid you to kill someone?"
"do not know."
The boy's voice was weak, "Even if you beat me to death, I still wouldn't know."
"You came to the capital alone?" Murong Yu looked at him.
"No, there were some other companions, but they all died, leaving only me. I didn't know that person was the divine physician... I beg Your Majesty for mercy."
He is also afraid of death.
Murong Yu gestured for someone to take him away.
Prince Liang frowned slightly. "Your Majesty, now that the murderer has been found, doesn't that mean Prime Minister Pei has nothing to do with it?"
