Su Shengsheng said irritably.

Ling Su had no choice but to continue: "Princess, it has been confirmed that the person inside is Xu Zhoushan."

"Well, take him back once you've confirmed it. I'm sure the prince has woken up."

"Yes."

Su Shengsheng looked at the place where the old man left. Two people in this place had already seen through her identity. She wondered what would happen next?

------

Ancheng Villa.

Su Shengsheng was standing there obediently. Mo Chenyuan was sitting in the main seat, looking at Su Shengsheng steadily without saying a word.

Su Shengsheng blinked innocently at Mo Chenyuan, then took small steps and slowly moved towards Mo Chenyuan.

Unexpectedly, Mo Chenyuan had seen through Su Shengsheng's little thoughts and said coldly, "Stand still."

Su Shengsheng immediately stopped and stood still.

Mo Chenyuan looked at Su Shengsheng's aggrieved expression and blamed himself for speaking too much. He said gently, "Why did you drug me?"

Su Shengsheng whispered, "I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't have drugged you."

Mo Chenyuan looked at Su Shengsheng's attitude of admitting his mistake, and said helplessly, "Come here."

Su Shengsheng grinned, and immediately lifted her skirt and ran to Mo Chenyuan. Mo Chenyuan embraced Su Shengsheng and said, "If there is a next time, I will not forgive you so easily."

Su Shengsheng nodded and swore weakly: "I promise there won't be a next time."

Mo Chenyuan then got back to the topic and asked, "Have you found Xu Zhoushan?"

"Yes." Then he got up from Mo Chenyuan's arms and said to the people outside: "Bring him in."

After a while, Xu Zhoushan was brought in by the guards.

Mo Chenyuan looked at Xu Zhoushan kneeling there, his eyes turned cold. Su Shengsheng was afraid that Mo Chenyuan would kill him in anger, so he spoke first: "The Xu family was wiped out, you should know everything, right?"

"Humph, aren't all these thanks to you?"

Su Shengsheng took out the half jade pendant from her bosom and threw it in front of Xu Zhoushan, "Do you recognize it?"

Xu Zhoushan looked down and his pupils widened instantly. He was very familiar with this jade pendant. How could it be in the hands of the Regent?

Su Shengsheng's voice sounded again, "You and the eldest son of the Xu family each have one of these jade pendants. The jade pendant of the eldest son of the Xu family was intact before his death, and the extra half of the jade pendant was found on the Wangyue Cliff..."

"I have never been to Moon-Watching Cliff."

Su Shengsheng's eyes became sharp, "Did I ever tell you that you've been to Moon-Watching Cliff?"

Only then did Xu Zhoushan realize that he had let the cat out of the bag in his haste.

Then he shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Su Shengsheng asked directly in a cold voice: "If you had not been to Wangyue Cliff, how could the jade pendant be broken into two and lying on those corpses?"

Xu Zhoushan was speechless. He had indeed been to Wangyue Cliff, but he could not admit it. If he admitted it, he would be charged with treason.

"You still don't admit it?"

"I have never been to the Moon-Watching Cliff. How can you ask me to admit it? The jade pendant was stolen long ago. As for why it appeared in the Moon-Watching Cliff, how would I know?" Xu Zhoushan's face turned red.

Su Shengsheng snorted coldly, while Mo Chenyuan slowly stood up and walked in front of Xu Zhoushan.

The powerful momentum almost made Xu Zhoushan breathless, and then a stack of letter papers flew towards Xu Zhoushan's face.

"This king is giving you one more chance."

Xu Zhoushan picked up the letter on the ground and read it. His face changed drastically, and then he crumpled the paper into a ball. "Impossible... How do you have these things?"

Mo Chenyuan looked down at Xu Zhoushan and said, "Take a good look. How would you like to die?"

Xu Zhoushan's eyes became flustered. He thought he had done it perfectly, but he was still discovered. He harmed the Xu family for his own selfish reasons. He remembered what his brother said on the eve of going to the battlefield:

"Zhoushan, when big brother comes back from the war, I will take you to have a look around. Haven't you always wanted to see farther places? Big brother will accompany you."

The words of the past are still fresh in my mind as if they were spoken yesterday.

The thing Xu Zhoushan regretted most in his life was the incident at Wangyue Cliff. He personally killed his eldest brother who always cared about him. He had wanted to run the Xu family well as a way to atone for his sins, but he didn't expect that he would cause the Xu family to be wiped out.

Now that the truth has been revealed, even if he could hide from the pursuers from Yunsheng Kingdom, he could not hide from the powerful Regent.

Xu Zhoushan fell down, a look of regret all over his face, and then he whispered to Mo Chenyuan: "I was the one who did the incident at Wangyue Cliff."

"Why?" Mo Chenyuan's eyes turned red after hearing the answer he wanted.

Xu Zhoushan lowered his head and said, "I am originally from Yunsheng Country. When I was a child, I was sold to Anyun Country by human traffickers. That's why I was adopted by the Xu family and considered an adopted son. My eldest brother is full of passion. After knowing the heroic deeds of the Regent, he has always longed to fight side by side with the Regent."

"And I just wanted to do business and become the richest man in the world." Xu Zhoushan took a breath and said, "My eldest brother finally went to the battlefield as he wished, and I also embarked on the road of doing business. Everything went well at the beginning, but later, for some reason, every time I did business, I would lose money."

"I was very depressed during that time and even wanted to give up. Suddenly, a mysterious person found me and said he could help me. But his condition was that I could lead the Regent's army to Wangyue Cliff before he would help me."

"I was very hesitant and couldn't make up my mind. Unexpectedly, my eldest brother who had rushed back saw me. He recognized who the man was and pointed at me angrily and scolded me, saying that I was colluding with foreign enemies and was not worthy of being a human being."

"Before my eldest brother could say anything, he was urgently called back. I was young and hot-headed at the time, and I thought, why can he always bet on me, so I agreed to the man's request."

"How did you lead them to the Moon-Watching Cliff?" Su Shengsheng asked with a frown.

Xu Zhoushan recalled: "It's strange to say this, but the next day someone sent a letter from the capital via carrier pigeon, which contained the latest military reports."

"Who gave it to you?"

Xu Zhoushan shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that the carrier pigeon came from the capital."

"And I gave the information to the black-clad man who came to see me, and then you know what happened later. The Regent suffered heavy casualties in the battle at Moon-Watching Cliff, and none of the more than 300 soldiers survived. After the news was blocked, I regretted it very much, and hurried to Moon-Watching Cliff to bring back my eldest brother's body."

Mo Chenyuan then understood what had happened. The information came from the capital. He had no doubts and took his men to the Moon-Watching Cliff. He did not expect that the man in the capital would sacrifice the lives of so many soldiers in order to kill him.

It's simply..., Mo Chenyuan's eyes turned cold, he knew who the person in Beijing was without thinking, it seemed that he really was too nice to him.

"Is that man in black the prince of Yunsheng Kingdom?" Mo Chenyuan looked at Xu Zhoushan.

Xu Zhoushan's heart skipped a beat and he immediately shook his head, saying, "I don't know him. I only know that he said he was also a businessman."

Su Shengsheng saw that the aura around Mo Chenyuan was getting colder and colder, so she stepped forward and held Mo Chenyuan's hand.

Mo Chenyuan's icy breath dropped instantly, and he looked at Xu Zhoushan who lowered his head and said, "I will give you a quick death."
