In the prison cell of Jingmen Mansion, Xue Wenyu, dressed in plain clothes, looked speechlessly at the first person who came to see him after he had been locked up for two days.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "So, the purpose of Prince Mo's visit is not to visit me?"

Mo Yunbai was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he touched his nose with a guilty look on his face. "Of course not, I'm more familiar with you in the capital, and now that you're in trouble, how could I not come to visit you? Of course, I'll also discuss something with you by the way.

When you are bored here, think about it carefully. I am not in a hurry. "

"I can answer your question right now, so let's not talk about it." Xue Wenyu replied while suppressing his anger.

It's so infuriating. I was wrongly imprisoned and can't think about serious things, but this little prince actually comes here to talk nonsense!

"Don't worry. You're busy taking care of yourself now, so how can you care about a little girl? Why don't you fulfill my wish? I didn't ask you for those four precious pearls. As long as you nod, I will immediately send someone to send a message back to the country and let my father arrange someone to investigate your affairs. How about it?" Mo Yunbai continued to persuade.

"I appreciate the kindness of Prince Mo. My affairs will be investigated by others and I will be cleared of all charges sooner or later. The little girl that Prince Mo mentioned is now my legitimate wife. How can I give her to you just because you ask for her?

Well, now that Prince Mo is here, I have visited you. If you have nothing else to say, please go back. Don’t forget your current situation. Instead of focusing on women, you should think about how to survive in this capital city in the future.

You are smart and should know that there are many people in the Jinwu Kingdom who don't want you to return safely." Xue Wenyu said with a sneer, turned back to the bed, sat down, picked up a book and started reading, not looking at the people outside the iron railings again.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Xue. However, although my situation is not good, it should be better than yours. It doesn't matter if you don't agree. I will always have a chance. Take care, Brother Xue, and goodbye." Mo Yunbai said with a smile, and turned away very freely.

Hearing the footsteps fading away and then the sound of the lock being locked, Xue Wenyu slowly raised his head in the cell.

Since he was imprisoned, if it weren't for Prince Mo coming, he would have even forgotten about the woman in Wenxin Garden.

Surprisingly, there was someone who wanted her from him? And it was a prince, a person who might be the future crown prince!

Could that little woman have such great charm? You know, the imperial edict said that no one was allowed to visit the prison until the matter was investigated. And the fact that Prince Mo was able to come in showed that he had put a lot of thought into it.

That little woman was locked up in the house by me, and now I am imprisoned by the order of the current emperor. If she knew about this, she would definitely be secretly happy, right?

For some unknown reason, when Xue Wenyu thought of this, the woman's gloating expression immediately appeared in his mind.

Bah, Xue Wenyu, Xue Wenyu, you can't even think about the important things right now, why are you thinking about that little woman? Xue Wenyu shook his head vigorously to remind himself.

It was obvious that the other party had been planning this for a long time. He even told the emperor that he had colluded with the deceased Ning Wang's subordinates to plan a rebellion. And the one sitting on the throne actually believed it and ordered him to be thrown into prison.

Although he was not tortured and only had people from the three courts come to question him every day, he knew in his heart that this matter would probably not end well, as they wanted to eradicate him completely!

Xue Wenyu was not surprised by the emperor's attitude. He had long known the saying that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.

It's just that I'm a little disappointed.

Although he had long known the character of the current emperor and what he had done after ascending the throne, seeing that the people of Yan State were indeed living better than before in the years since he ascended the throne, he also wanted to be a good subject and work hard for the court.

Unexpectedly, after assisting him wholeheartedly for several years, I still couldn't gain a trace of trust from him.

I think the person sitting on the dragon throne has not forgotten what he did before, so he is so cautious.

As the saying goes, if you have done nothing wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. This emperor now values ​​benevolence, but what he did back then was inhumane. Although that thing was done in secret, most of the people who knew about it died inexplicably.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and what has been done cannot be erased.

It's just that the person who did the work has already successfully sat on the throne, and his political achievements are pretty good. No one wants to take the risk of exterminating the entire clan and bring up old scores.

When the thought of exterminating the nine clans came up, Xue Wenyu's brows were furrowed even tighter. Even if he died unjustly, he would not be willing to accept it. But if he really implicated the nine clans of the Xue family, that would be thousands of people. Wouldn't he be the sinner of the Xue family?

So far, the Xue family is fine, but in the future, no one knows which direction things will develop.

Mu Yingbao, who was confined to the house in the Xue Mansion, only saw Nanzhu's abnormality and had no idea that not only was the entire Xue Mansion filled with gloom, but everyone was also uneasy, as if there was a sharp blade hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any time.

In fact, the Mu family’s mood was even more complicated at this time.

After learning about the matter of Xue Shizi, he secretly felt lucky that he did not marry his daughter to him. On the other hand, he was somewhat uneasy because the person who was to be married off was still surnamed Mu. If Xue Shizi's conspiracy to rebel was proven to be true, the Mu family might also be implicated if His Majesty was furious.

In recent days, when Governor Mu went to court, he was trembling with fear and dared not say much. He secretly observed the emperor's attitude towards him, but could not see anything at all.

But there is one thing: the way the ministers in the court looked at him was very interesting.

The news of Xue Wenyu's imprisonment came the day after Mu Yingbao discovered Nanzhu's abnormality.

"Nanzhu, has something happened in the mansion? Or is there something wrong with your young master?" Seeing that Nanzhu's eyes were more red and swollen than the day before, and her face was more haggard than the day before, Mu Yingbao pulled her sleeve and asked.

She thought that if it was really Brother Hui who had not cleaned up the poison, she could go over and take a look.

Nanzhu didn't shake her hand off; "It's not the young master, it's the prince who got into trouble. Someone reported that he was planning a rebellion, wuwu."

After Nanzhu finished speaking, she squatted on the ground, covered her face and started crying.

It wasn't that she spoke too quickly, she was just so frightened after hearing the news that she didn't know what to do.

People working in the palace dared not even to speak a word, let alone talk about it.

The Marquis, his wife, and other masters were all very nervous.

The maids in the prince's yard didn't dare to ask, so they just cried together.

She had been holding it in for several days, but when Mu Yingbao asked her, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

Huh? That guy went to jail? Great!

When Mu Yingbao heard the news, she was so happy that she almost wanted to jump up, but when she heard Nanzhu's sad cry, she had to suppress her inner excitement.

"Your young master shouldn't be that kind of person, right? What about your marquis's wife? They should be able to find a way." Mu Yingbao comforted against her will.

Suddenly, Mu Yingbao thought of a serious problem. In ancient times, treason was a very serious matter, and the entire clan would be executed! She was now his nominal wife, and the marriage certificate was written with her name, Mu Yingbao. It was terrible. She could no longer be excited...
