Yun Qing paused stroking the fur, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

Even Mo Yu was startled and almost dropped the seal in his hand.

Yun Qing's expression was obscure and difficult to understand. He continued to stroke his fur: "Why do you say that?"

Meng Yun: "Three months ago, when I was passing by a brothel, I saw a person's back that looked very much like Mo Bei."

Yun Qing's beautiful eyes shone: "How similar are they?"

Meng Yun frowned and thought for a moment, "They look very similar. They're tall, short, fat, and thin. Even their gait is very similar."

Unfortunately, he didn't see the man's face. He wanted to chase him to take a closer look, but the man was very alert and disappeared just as he was about to chase him.

If Mobei is still alive, why doesn't he go back to the dark place?

The ten members of the Japanese team were Yun Qing's secret guards, and they were also the targets of attack from various forces. During their years in the capital, they had thwarted countless assassination attempts on Yun Qing's behalf.

The leader of the Japanese team is Merton.

Mo Dong was a dozen years older than Yun Qing. Ever since Yun Qing was old enough to understand, Mo Dong had been by his side, always protecting him. From Chonghua Palace to Xuantian Palace, and from Xuantian Palace to the battlefields of Northern Frontier, Mo Dong was like Yun Qing's guardian angel. Every time Yun Qing faced danger or hardship, he would hold up a big umbrella for him, shielding him behind his back.

Modong's martial arts skills are not inferior to Yunqing. Many people in the Japanese team were trained by him personally, especially Mobei.

Mobei was a little beggar whom Modong picked up on the street before they went to Xuantian Palace.

Back then, when Mobei was only three or four years old, he was nearly beaten to death and abandoned on the roadside after stealing a pancake because he was extremely hungry. When Modong brought him back to Chonghua Palace, he was already dying. It was Modong who saved him, spoonful by spoonful of medicine, and later took him to Xuantian Palace.

Among all these secret guards, the one Yun Qing trusts the most is Mo Dong. He is the one whom he can trust with his life.

The other person is Mo Bei. Mo Bei grew up with Yun Qing. They ate, slept, practiced martial arts and studied together. There were many times when Mo Bei stood up to Yun Qing when the Queen made things difficult for him. He couldn't remember how many beatings Mo Bei had taken for him.

Yun Qing's hand on Bai Ze's fur became heavier and heavier, and before he knew it, he had his hand around Bai Ze's neck. Bai Ze was still asleep and almost died in Qingqiu.

Awooo awooo awooo! Bai Ze's screams brought Yun Qing back to his senses. Yun Qing quickly let go of his hand, and Bai Ze slipped away from Yun Qing's legs.

Only then did Meng Yun see clearly that it was not a white cat, but a fox cub!

Yun Qing's face was gloomy and he felt depressed. His thoughts drifted away again.

Back then, the Emperor knew he was poisoned by the Drunken Dream, but he still sent him to Cangyun Mountain to suppress the bandits. What bandits? There were groups of assassins lying in ambush there. This was a trap set specifically for him.

In the battle at Cangyun Mountain, he lost more than half of his secret guards, and even Mo Dong was seriously injured. Seeing that Mo Bei was about to be pierced through the heart by a sword, he desperately used his internal energy to save Mo Bei.

He ignored the backlash of the Drunken Dream Poison and fought his way out with the secret guards. He still remembered that it was Mo Dong who fended off all the pursuers for them, giving him and Mo Bei the chance to escape down the mountain.

Unfortunately, he later suffered the backlash of the Drunken Dream Poison and his consciousness gradually faded, but he clearly remembered that the person next to him was Mo Bei.

Yun Qing felt a chill running down her spine as she thought of this. Mo Bei, was it really Mo Bei?

Ever since Yun Qing took Mu Qingcheng's medicine and recovered, he has not dared to ask about the battle at Cangyun Mountain, nor has he dared to ask Mo Dong and Mo Bei.

If they were still alive, he wouldn't have fallen into the Queen's hands and suffered so much torture. But there was another truth that he couldn't accept: the betrayal of the person he trusted the most.

"After the battle at Cangyun Mountain, how many secret guards returned? Who were they?"

Meng Yun: "Your Highness, I was the one who led the team to support Cangyun Mountain. I only brought back three people. Mo Dong was the most seriously injured. His right arm was cut off and several ribs on his left were broken. He was carried back and was unconscious in Chonghua Palace for five or six days before waking up."

"The other two are Murnan and Murbei. Murnan was thrown off a cliff and hung on a tree at the edge. When he was found, a branch had pierced his abdomen, but fortunately, his heart and lungs were not injured. He is currently recovering in Chonghua Palace."

"Mobei, Mobei wasn't seriously injured. He was the first one we found at the foot of the mountain. He was unconscious and had a head injury. The situation was urgent and we didn't have time to investigate, so we took him up the mountain to look for someone."

Hearing about Mo Dong's injury, Yun Qing felt heartbroken and beads of sweat rolled down his face.

"Your Highness..."

"Master...is the poison acting up again?"

Yun Qing covered his chest and waved his hands: "It's okay, continue talking."

Ah! Meng Yun was terrified. Is this dangerous? He looked at Mo Yu, who looked anxious.

Yun Qing used his internal energy to resist Zui Meng, but now Zui Meng was completely under his control, so it was no problem for him to deal with him.

"go on!"

Meng Yun saw that Yun Qing was only pale, and not at all as weak and without any sense loss as he had been when Zui Meng had backfired. He was pleasantly surprised that Zui Meng's poison could really be cured!

Meng Yun suppressed his excitement and continued, "Mo Dong woke up in Chonghua Palace and heard that Your Highness had disappeared. He jumped up anxiously to look for you, but we held him down. He later passed out again. Half a month later, he and Mo Bei went to Cangyun Mountain to look for Your Highness. Then they both disappeared and never returned."

Mo Yu suddenly remembered something and added, "Master, before Mo Dong disappeared, he came to the Moon Tower to find me. He said he had a clue about you and needed him to go and verify it in person. I felt at the time that he had something else in mind."

Meng Yun: "So, Mo Dong's disappearance is closely related to Mo Bei. Mo Dong must have noticed something. Maybe he was injured too badly and was silenced by Mo Bei."

Mo Yu continued, "Mo Dong also said that on the day of the Cangyun Mountain battle, the Queen went to Baohua Temple to pray. So, you must have fallen into the Queen's hands, or been hidden somewhere by the Queen. Before he left, he specifically instructed us to immediately cut off contact with the secret agent if he couldn't return, saying there must be a traitor among the secret agents. He told us to keep an eye on the people around the Queen, so I placed people around the Shang family."

Meng Yun asked doubtfully, "But if Mo Bei is a traitor, why didn't he reveal the Moon Landing Tower to the Queen?"

This was exactly what Yun Qing was puzzled about. He took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his heart, and mentioned the poisoning.

"Two years ago, during the Emperor's birthday celebration, I didn't touch any food or drink at the palace banquet. When the Emperor gave me some wine and I had to drink, it was Mobei who changed the wine for me, hiding it with his sleeve."

"what?"

"Is it... poisoned by Mo Bei?"

Yun Qing was the crown prince, and usually he would avoid dining with the emperor and empress whenever possible, but attending palace banquets was unavoidable, especially the Emperor's Birthday Festival, where he had to attend to congratulate the emperor.

The Wanshou Palace Banquet two years ago was the first time he attended a palace banquet since returning from the Northern Frontier, and it was also the first time he officially appeared in front of court officials.

In order to avoid being ambushed, Mo Dong prepared a pot of wine in advance and hid it in his sleeve. But Mo Dong had a stomachache that day, so it was Mo Bei who accompanied him to the banquet. The wine he drank was the one Mo Bei had replaced for him.

In the past, Yun Qing always couldn’t figure out who had poisoned him with the Drunken Dream Poison, when and where had it been administered? He had already been very cautious.

I think it was only that time when the wine was changed!

He didn't let anyone investigate the poisoning, perhaps because he was too afraid to know the truth. He also never wanted to doubt the people around him.

But he will never let go of anyone who betrays him. No matter who he is, he will find him out and use his blood and head to sacrifice to his dead brothers.

For a moment, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
