Regent, your poisonous concubine is going to defy the heavens

Mo Chenyuan looked at the sachet he carried with him and said, "Did you know it when you gave me the sachet?"

Su Shengsheng nodded slightly.

Mo Chenyuan's expression relaxed. "Well, since you already knew it, I won't hide it from you."

"You came to Ancheng this time because there is news about Lingyu and Yiliu?"

"kindness."

Su Shengsheng stood up and said, "Then go quickly."

Mo Chenyuan stood up and said, "Since you already know, I don't have to hide it from you."

"You want me to go with you?"

"are you willing?"

Su Shengsheng nodded, "Of course." She was so gossipy that she was almost dying of curiosity.

Mo Chenyuan knew Su Shengsheng's little thoughts and just smiled dotingly.

When the two arrived at the study, Ling Yu was already waiting there.

Seeing Mo Chenyuan and Su Shengsheng coming together, Ling Yu saluted and said, "Your subordinate greets the prince and princess."

Su Shengsheng looked at Ling Yu. His skin had become much darker and there were several wounds on his face. It seemed that things were not going well.

Mo Chenyuan asked: "Tell me about it."

"Yes." Ling Yu stood up and continued, "I and Yi Liu followed the clues to Ancheng. I have already asked the master of the Xu family about the jade pendant."

"That jade pendant was worn by the eldest son of the Xu family. He also followed our team to the Moon-Watching Cliff a year ago. He was one of the three hundred soldiers."

Mo Chenyuan's eyes darkened after hearing this, and some memories seemed to come to his mind. He vaguely remembered that the person standing close to him seemed to be wearing a jade pendant.

But after just a moment, my head started to hurt again.

Su Shengsheng patted the back of Mo Chenyuan's hand, indicating that if he couldn't remember, he shouldn't think about it anymore.

Mo Chenyuan closed his eyes, and slowly opened them after calming himself down.

Ling Yu looked at Mo Chenyuan worriedly, "My Lord, how are you?"

Mo Chenyuan shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Continue."

After Ling Yu saw that his prince was really fine, he continued: "I asked the master of the Xu family, and the jade pendant was a pair. The eldest son of the Xu family took one, and the adopted son of the Xu family also took one."

"After the eldest son of the Xu family went to the battlefield, the adopted son of the Xu family followed the master of the Xu family to do business."

Su Shengsheng asked, "Where is the Xu family's adopted son now?"

"I'll be back in two days."

"What's the connection between these two places?"

Ling Yu said respectfully: "After I knew there were two jade pendants, I asked the master of the Xu family. When the body of the eldest son of the Xu family was returned, the jade pendants he was carrying were intact."

"And the jade pendant that we saw on the battlefield, Your Majesty, was only half of it."

After Su Shengsheng finished speaking, she understood the general idea. Mo Chenyuan asked coldly, "Does anyone in the Xu family know about that half jade pendant?"

"Never."

"It seems that the problem lies with the adopted son of the Xu family."

Ling Yu continued: "Yi Liu has been secretly watching the Xu family, and the master of the Xu family has never colluded with outsiders."

Mo Chenyuan said thoughtfully: "What does the adopted son of the Xu family run?"

"Since the eldest son of the Xu family left, the master of the Xu family has let the adopted son of the Xu family manage all the Xu family shops, and the adopted son of the Xu family has also opened his own maritime business, and he went out to sea to do business recently."

Su Shengsheng said: "It seems that this adopted son of the Xu family is not simple. As long as the adopted son of the Xu family does not have a jade pendant, it proves that he also appeared on the Moon-Watching Cliff that day."

Mo Chenyuan nodded, and then looked at Ling Yu, "Don't alert the enemy."

"Yes."

Ling Yu bowed and walked out.

Ling Su was standing outside. When he saw Ling Yu coming out, he threw the prepared medicine to Ling Yu.

Ling Yu caught it steadily, shook the medicine bottle in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's strange, our Ling Su feels sorry for me."

"Don't bring it." Ling Su said and was about to get the medicine back.

Ling Yu quickly put the medicine bottle into his pocket, "How can I refuse the medicine given by Brother Ling Su?" Then he looked at Ling Su and said, "I won't talk to you first, Yi Liu is still there alone."

"Ah."

Ling Yu nodded to Ling Su and left the villa.

Ning Hai jumped down from the tree next door and walked into the house. "Your Highness, I just saw Ling Yu. He went in for an incense stick of time and then left in a hurry."

Murong Ye was resting with his eyes closed. After hearing Ning Hai's words, he slowly opened his eyes and uttered two words with his thin lips, "Ling Yu?"

Ning Hai nodded.

Murong Ye thought carefully and it seemed that he had not seen Ling Yu during these days in the capital.

Ning Hai said, "Should I send someone to follow and take a look?"

"Well, be careful not to be discovered."

"Yes." Ning Hai went down to arrange people.

Murong Ye slowly poured a cup of tea and began to guess the purpose of Mo Chenyuan's visit to Ancheng this time. Was it not because of Princess Zhaohua?

Murong Ye rubbed his chin thoughtfully. What on earth was this Mo Chenyuan doing?

Ning Hai went out for half an hour before returning. Seeing Ning Hai's anxious expression, Murong Ye said, "Ancheng is bigger than the capital. Can't you find the way back?"

Ning Hai nodded anxiously, "Yes." Then he shook his head and said, "No."

Murong Ye said impatiently: "Explain clearly."

Ning Hai swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Highness, I originally wanted to arrange for someone to follow Ling Yu, but then I thought that Ling Yu was a guard beside Mo Chenyuan after all, and it would be easy to be discovered, so I thought of following him myself."

"Tell the important point!"

Ning Hai closed his mouth and said, "Okay." Then he simplified it and said, "I followed Ling Yu all the way to Xu's house. There is a woman guarding there."

Murong Ye asked uncertainly: "Are you sure it's the Xu family?"

"This subordinate confirms."

Murong Ye crossed his hands and started to get serious. All of a sudden, his previous doubts were cleared up. No wonder he didn't see Ling Yu in the capital. It turned out that he was sent by Mo Chenyuan to investigate what happened a year ago.

"Where is Xu Zhoushan now?"

"I inquired when I passed by and learned that he had gone out to sea for business and would be back in the next two days."

Murong Ye said coldly: "Send people to the dock to keep an eye on him. Once Xu Zhoushan gets off the boat, kill him immediately. Also, no one from the Xu family should be left alive."

When Ning Hai heard that all the members of the Xu family were going to be killed, he was a little surprised and asked, "Your Highness, the only one who cooperated with us was Xu Zhoushan. The people of the Xu family didn't know about this, so are they going to be killed too?"

Murong Ye looked at Ning Hai fiercely, with a terrifying aura emanating from his body, "This prince does not like to leave behind troubles."

Ning Hai made a slight gesture, then immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

After Ning Hai left, Murong Ye recalled that he had used despicable means to lure Mo Chenyuan to the Moon-Watching Cliff, hoping to annihilate Mo Chenyuan in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, in such a desperate situation, Mo Chenyuan still stood firm. He couldn't help but admire him. He felt that Mo Chenyuan was suitable to be his opponent, so he softened his heart and let Mo Chenyuan go this time.

Because of this incident, he was put in solitary confinement by his father for three months when he returned. Thinking of what his father had said to him, being soft on the enemy would mean leaving himself no way out.

It seems that this statement is really verified. If Mo Chenyuan knew about this, all the spies he had planted in Anyun Country would be exposed.
