After he finished speaking, Ling Su walked in and took Xu Zhoushan away.

Xu Zhoushan did not resist either. He knew that no matter how many times he was tortured to death, he would be unworthy of the Xu family's kindness in raising him, and of his elder brother who always thought of him.

Su Shengsheng looked at Mo Chenyuan without saying a word, then held Mo Chenyuan's hand and said softly: "We are one step closer to the truth."

Mo Chenyuan looked at Su Shengsheng and smiled faintly.

At the same time, Murong Ye was looking at Ning Hai angrily and said, "Didn't you say that he would definitely die if he fell down?"

Ning Hai knelt on the ground with guilt. He had not expected Xu Zhoushan to cheat. Knowing that he had done something wrong, he lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, please punish me."

"What's the point of punishing you now?" Murong Ye looked at Ning Hai coldly.

Ning Hai pursed her lips and said nothing.

Murong Ye glanced at the letter in his hand and said, "Clear yourself."

"Yes."

Ning Hai immediately nodded, stood up and walked out.

Xu Zhoushan eventually committed suicide in prison by banging his head against the wall. Before his death, he wrote many letters of regret in blood.

Su Shengsheng couldn't bear to see this scene and closed her eyes. Xu Zhoushan was also punished for his mistake.

The matter in Ancheng came to a temporary end. When Su Shengsheng and Mo Chenyuan were about to return to Beijing, Murong Ye came to visit.

The three of them were sitting in the front hall. Murong Ye still looked gentle as ever, his eyes fixed on Su Shengsheng.

Mo Chenyuan couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the cup away. "Do you really not want the eyes anymore?"

Murong Ye steadily caught the teacup that Mo Chenyuan pushed over with his internal force, tilted his head slightly, said "Thank you," and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Shengsheng ignored Murong Ye, stood up and said, "My Lord, since you have something to discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will not disturb you."

Then he turned and walked out.

Mo Chenyuan didn't want to talk to Murong Ye either, so he ordered him to leave and said, "Since there is nothing important, I will not accompany you."

Then he stood up and was about to leave.

Murong Ye said, "Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry? I have something important to discuss with you."

"You are the Crown Prince of Yunsheng State, and I am the Regent of Anyun State. We... have nothing to discuss."

"No, the prince will definitely be interested in what I am going to say."

Mo Chenyuan glanced at Murong Ye with a cold look, "Goodbye!"

Murong Ye said calmly: "What I want to talk about is about Wangyue Cliff..."

When Mo Chenyuan heard the words "Wangyue Cliff", his eyes suddenly turned cold, "You know?"

"Look, don't we have something to discuss together?" Murong Ye said with a smile.

"Humph." Mo Chenyuan flicked his sleeves and sat down coldly, "What do you know?"

"Your Majesty came to Ancheng, I guess he is also investigating what happened at Moon-Watching Cliff a year ago?"

Mo Chenyuan did not speak. Murong Ye chuckled and continued, "A year ago at Moon Watching Cliff, I received a secret report that you would pass by Moon Watching Cliff. I knew that it was easy to attack but difficult to defend, so I arranged to send people to ambush you in advance, just to capture you alive."

Mo Chenyuan tapped his hands on the table and said coldly, "I already know what you said."

"Then did the prince find out who sent the secret report?"

Mo Chenyuan looked at Murong Ye, "You know?"

"Since I can ask this, I must be sure of it."

"Then tell me who wants to harm me?"

Murong Ye looked at Mo Chenyuan with a threatening look. He was indeed a man who had been on the battlefield. His eyes were always so sharp. He didn't know why Su Shengsheng fell in love with him.

Murong Ye adjusted his posture and said, "The person who sent me the message was Xu Zhoushan."

After saying this, he looked carefully at the expression on Mo Chenyuan's face.

Mo Chenyuan slowly stood up from his chair and looked down at Murong Ye, "You can go now."

The smile on Murongye's face faded, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Why?"

Mo Chenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think...I will believe what the enemy says?"

When Murong Ye heard Mo Chenyuan say this, he felt a lot more relieved. It seemed that he didn't get any useful information from Xu Zhoushan.

He smiled and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Your Majesty, don't you want to find out the truth about what happened at Moon-Watching Cliff a year ago?"

"I will find out what happened a year ago. As for you..." Mo Chenyuan pointed at Murong Ye, "I will kill you with my own hands."

Murong Ye looked at Mo Chenyuan who was speaking out loudly, "This prince likes your bold and unbridled aura. It seems that I was right not to kill you a year ago."

"Mo Chenyuan, you should be grateful to me now, otherwise how would you have the chance to seek justice for those soldiers?"

"Want me to be grateful to you?"

Murong Ye smiled and nodded.

Mo Chenyuan slapped him directly with his palm, "Then you can spare your life today, and I will be very grateful to you."

As they were talking, the two men started fighting. The chair in the front hall flew out. Su Shengsheng was sitting not far away, swinging her legs leisurely, listening to the fighting sounds inside.

Thinking of Murong Ye's nagging look, he said, "You deserve it."

Murong Ye looks gentle and refined, but in fact his fighting skills are comparable to Mo Chenyuan. The two fought for a long time without hurting the other at all.

Murong Ye knew that it was not a good idea to continue fighting like this, so he stopped him and said, "I can make a deal with you. When Anyun Kingdom is in your hands, it won't be too late for us to fight again."

"Hmph, I don't want to associate with you." As he said that, another palm flew over.

Murong Ye dodged it easily, his brows tinged with coldness, "Your Majesty, are you really not going to consider it?"

Mo Chenyuan then threw another palm at him, and Murong Ye was so fast that he didn't have time to dodge and was grabbed by the neck by Mo Chenyuan.

Mo Chenyuan cast a fierce look at Murong Ye, "Don't worry, I will send your body back after you die."

Murong Ye didn't expect that Mo Chenyuan had been hiding his strength. If Mo Chenyuan had been like this at the beginning, there would be no way he would have been able to fight with Mo Chenyuan so many times.

A cold wind blew in from outside the front hall. Su Shengsheng felt something was wrong. She immediately stopped her shaky steps, stood up, and looked towards the roof.

A row of men in black stood on the roof.

Su Shengsheng sneered, "Are you Murong Ye's people?"

The man in black didn't say anything and flew directly towards Su Shengsheng. Seeing this, Su Shengsheng immediately dodged.

Ling Su and Ling Yu also rushed over after hearing the noise. Seeing Su Shengsheng surrounded by a group of men in black, they immediately stepped forward to help.

At this moment, when Mo Chenyuan was about to break Murong Ye's neck, Ning Hai flew over and stabbed towards Mo Chenyuan's heart with the sword in his hand.

Mo Chenyuan had to let go of Murong Ye and hide away. Seeing this, Ning Hai immediately took Murong Ye out.
