Jin Palace.

Baili Moyin sat in the main seat, looking at the person kneeling on the ground, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Shu Yuanqi, I only asked you to do a small thing, but you achieved the opposite effect! Today, you still have the nerve to come to me and ask for shelter?"

When Shu Yuanqi heard this, his face was full of grievance, "Your Highness, you asked me to identify her! I thought that woman was really my mistress, so I said so! Besides, you didn't say that woman wasn't my mistress!"

Baili Moyin was so angry that he wanted to laugh, "You mean it's still my fault?"

Shu Yuanqi quickly shook his head, his bearded face revealing a sense of fatigue and vicissitudes. "No, no, no, Your Highness, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that I really didn't mean it!"

"Besides, because of this incident, the Zhu brothers broke my leg! Now my entire Shu family is deserted, and my father is nowhere to be found! And those damn servants took away everything that could be moved from the Shu family!"

"I, I really have nowhere to go!"

Shu Yuanqi dragged his injured leg, hugged Baili Moyin's calf, and cried with tears and snot, "Prince, please accept me for what I have done for you!"

Baili Moyin saw that his snot and tears had stained his clothes, and he kicked him away with great disgust, "You have no way to survive, what does it have to do with me?"

"If you can mess up everything you do, what's the point of keeping you here? Just to eat dry food?"

Shu Yuanqi climbed up again and tried to hug his thighs, but he glared at him coldly and instantly became obedient. He just knelt there and begged, "Prince, I am useful!"

"Didn't you say that my mistress is not dead? She even gave birth to a child for Prince Li!"

"The child will be found eventually, and you can always use me then!"

Shu Yuanqi's last sentence gave Baili Moyin a flash of inspiration, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

What he said seems to make sense!

After all, he is the child’s uncle, maybe he can be useful in the future!

Seeing him wavering, Shu Yuanqi hurriedly added, "Besides, I am Xiao San's only relative now. If she comes back one day, won't she have no choice but to rely on me?"

"When the time comes, I'll be happy to do whatever you want me to do! I can always help!"

"Your Majesty, don't you agree?"

Baili Moyin put down the redwood beads in his hand, and the disgust and aversion on his face disappeared instantly. "Second Master Shu, why are you so polite when you say that?"

"Your sister and my seventh brother have a son together. Maybe we'll even be relatives by marriage in the future!"

Shu Yuanqi's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's a relationship by marriage! Your Highness is right!"

Baili Moyin helped Shu Yuanqi up and said kindly, "General Shu suddenly disappeared. There must be something fishy about this. Don't worry, I will help you find General Shu!"

"Really?" Shu Yuanqi's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he almost cried. "In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness!"

"We're family, why bother saying thank you!" He smiled, then called out to the outside, "Chu Ge!"

"Arrange a place for the Second Young Master to recuperate. Find a quiet place so that outsiders won't disturb him!"

"Yes!"

Shu Yuanqi stood up with a satisfied look on his face, but actually felt sarcastic inside.

He dragged his lame leg and went downstairs with Chu Ge. As soon as he came out of the study, he saw Zheng Zihe, the eldest son of the Zheng family, hurried over.

Seeing this, Chu Ge called a servant and asked him to take Shu Yuanqi to the small courtyard at the westernmost end and settle him down.

After giving the instructions, he returned to his study.

Everyone in Kyoto knew about the Zheng family's affairs, so naturally he knew about it too.

As soon as Chu Ge entered the study, Shu Yuanqi groaned, "Ouch, my legs hurt, my legs hurt, little brother, please walk slower!"

Seeing this, the servant leading the way had to slow down and wait for him to move step by step.

At this time, Shu Yuanqi's gaze had already quietly followed Chu Ge into the study, and Zheng Zihe's angry voice came to his ears.

"What does Prince Li mean by this? Is he planning to use Liu Ruxin's hand to wipe out our Zheng family?!"

Baili Moyin sat back at his desk, a look of disgust on his face. He had just been stained by Shu Yuanqi, and he hadn't had time to change his clothes, and now he had to deal with Zheng Zihe!

Every day, it really makes me worry!

At this moment, Zheng Zihe had no intention of observing Baili Moyin's expression. He just wanted to vent his anger.

"That Liu Ruxin killed my two brothers in one day! Will she kill me too when I get there?"

"Your Highness, what exactly are you planning on doing in this matter?! Will you avenge my two brothers?!"

Zheng Zihe, who was anxious, angry and aggressive, gave Baili Moyin a headache.

"This can't be blamed on Old Seven, right?"

"Ziying was killed because he went to smash someone's store and killed someone else's people!"

"He was assassinated by Liu Ruxin in revenge, so that makes sense."

"As for Zi Ping, I've heard about him too."

"Seventh Brother had someone warn your family not to cause trouble for Liu Ruxin, saying she had a bad temper. Ziping ignored the advice and insisted on causing trouble, which is how he lost his life!"

"Zihe, you should be very clear about these things!"

Zheng Zihe looked at the man in front of him, disappointment in his eyes. "Your Highness, Prince of Jin, my Zheng family has devoted all our efforts to you. How can you say such a thing?"

Baili Moyin's brows showed a hint of impatience. He stepped forward, grasped Zheng Zihe's shoulders, and said earnestly, "Zihe, don't worry. I will never forget the support the Zheng family has given me! I will give you an explanation on this matter as soon as possible!"

"Today I will have the Dali Temple open a court for interrogation!"

"Now that we have all the evidence, there's no way for Liu Ruxin to deny it!"

"Later, I'll go to the palace to meet my father! The murderer who killed my two cousins will definitely not survive tomorrow!"

He said this and didn't say anything else.

Zheng Zihe looked at him in confusion, "Your Highness, do you mean this is the end?"

"What about Baili Moqing? He's the mastermind behind this. Are we just going to let him off like this?"

Baili Moyin sighed softly, his face showing obvious helplessness, "Zihe! Can't you see the current situation clearly?"

"Old Nine got into trouble and made such a big fool of himself. Father already suspected that I was the one who set him up! If I continue to hold on to Old Seven, wouldn't my intentions be too obvious?"

"By then, me, Old Seven, and Old Nine, the three of us will all suffer losses! Who will benefit in the end?"

……

The voice beside Shu Yuanqi's ear grew fainter and fainter until the servant beside him called out to him, "Second Master Shu, this way."

Shu Yuanqi collected his thoughts, smiled at the servant, and then quickly followed him away.

No one noticed that beneath his flattering smile, there was actually a different emotion hidden.
