The Cold King Demands Love and Pleasure

Xia Tongsheng frowned, "Bring the person here!"

"But you..." Mo Chen was a little worried about her health. "You should rest first, and continue the interrogation when you feel better!"

Xia Tongsheng wanted to resolve Mo Ziyu's matter as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if the prince found out when he returned. "I'm fine, bring him here first!"

"no!"

"Then I'll go myself!" Xia Tongsheng said, getting up to get out of bed.

Seeing her firm attitude, Mo Chen had no choice but to go along with her and bring Mo Ziyu along!

At this moment, Mo Ziyu was nothing like the spoiled young master he used to be; he had a serious and cold expression on his face!

Why did you want to assassinate the prince?

"You don't need to know this!"

"You stabbed me and then said I didn't need to know! Are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Mo Ziyu's gaze froze, a hint of guilt in his eyes. "Stabbing you was not my intention!"

"I know you had already released your strength when you saw it was me, so I wasn't seriously injured!"

"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"

Mo Ziyu could have escaped, but after stabbing Xia Tongsheng, he was knocked unconscious by Mo Chen as soon as he stepped out the door. Now he has been given medicine and cannot use his internal energy, so he has become a prisoner!

"I don't want to kill you, nor do I want to torture you. I just want to know the truth!"

Xia Tongsheng knew that Mo Ziyu wouldn't confess willingly if he kept his head down and refused to look at her.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can still find out!"

"You've already investigated me once before. Do you think I would leave any clues for you to investigate a second time?"

Xia Tongsheng nodded, "Yes, you can erase many clues, but the clues are on you!"

She pointed to the small pendant around Mo Ziyu's neck, "It's right here!"

Xia Tongsheng saw this pendant by chance when she went to find Ji Shuihan. She was curious and asked Shuihan to investigate it!

"It's so ordinary, how could it possibly attract your attention?" Mo Ziyu thought to himself that Xia Tongsheng hadn't discovered anything and was just using this method to trick him into revealing more clues!

Xia Tongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's ordinary, but you're not!"

She glanced into Mo Ziyu's eyes and said, "When you came to Yanxiang, you were using Ji Shuihan's name, and all you've really done this past month is follow Shuihan around and try to please her. But you've overlooked one thing!"

"What?" Mo Ziyu thought he had hidden it perfectly!

"The love in your eyes!" She pointed to her own eyes. "Back then, the way you looked at Shui Han wasn't what you seemed to be, but now... you really have fallen for Shui Han, haven't you!"

"You!" Mo Ziyu felt a little flustered when Xia Tongsheng exposed his secret thoughts.

“You didn’t like Shui Han before, but you came to Yanxiang using her name, which made me suspicious of your true identity! It’s funny, really!” Xia Tongsheng lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed. “I thought you were planning to wipe out the entire Yanxiang family and then run away with Yanxiang’s money! That’s why I specifically told you that if you wanted money, you could just tell me, and I would give it to you. There’s no need to go through all that trouble of killing people!”

"And then, what did you find out with this pendant?" Mo Ziyu didn't want to hear Xia Tongsheng continue with these rambling stories; every one she mentioned made him feel more guilty!

Xia Tongsheng pointed to the pattern on the pendant, "You're from Jicheng, aren't you!"

Her voice was so calm and collected, yet it stirred up a thousand waves in Mo Ziyu's heart!

Each wave crashed against his heart, the sensation lingering for a long time...

"What is your relationship with the Hua family of Jicheng?" Noticing the slight unease in Mo Ziyu's expression when the Hua family was mentioned, Xia Tongsheng continued to ask, "I guess you must be an illegitimate child of the Hua family left outside?"

"I'm not an illegitimate child!" Mo Ziyu's expression changed, and his shout startled Mo Chen!

He rushed in, but Xia Tongsheng shook her head. "It's nothing!"

He then went out again!

"Keep your voice down, don't scare my daughter!"

"My father and mother truly loved each other, but at the time, my father's wife wouldn't let my mother into the family, so I..."

awesome!

Xia Tongsheng never imagined that there were such domineering women in ancient times, who couldn't even get into the family despite having a son as a mistress!

Mo Ziyu looked at his little pendant and wanted to tear it off!

Xia Tongsheng stopped him, "This is the only thing your father left you, you should keep it!"

She understood his desire to avenge his father, and so did she!

"Actually, this pendant doesn't reveal any information. I was just bluffing you, and now you admit it!"

"Then why did you guess I'm from the Hua family?"

Xia Tongsheng shook his head. "Because when I investigated your file before, I knew that you were from Jiangdu City. What reason would you have to assassinate the prince? I thought and thought, but I couldn't think of any hatred between the prince and you. If I had to say that the prince did something near Jiangdu that had a grudge against you, it could only be the chaos in Jicheng back then! The prince wiped out the Hua family!"

Mo Ziyu recalled the scene, his knuckles turning slightly white. "Why didn't you guess that I wanted to kill the prince?"

"With your intelligence, you wouldn't choose to kill someone whose martial arts are better than yours, would you? You wouldn't do something as foolish as a moth drawn to a flame. If you absolutely have to assassinate the prince, it can only be because of hatred that you're driven to do it!"

She pointed to the water glass on the table, and Mo Ziyu stood up and handed it to her. "Actually, knowing that you wanted to assassinate the prince, everything you did actually makes sense to me! Because of me, Yanxiang is indeed the best place to get close to the prince!"

"Unfortunately, I still failed, didn't I?" Mo Ziyu said softly, "If it weren't for your interference..."

"If I hadn't stopped you, you would be dead already, you know that?"

Xia Tongsheng must have lost her mind to want to protect the person who was trying to assassinate her husband!

"You don't know how strong the prince is, but I believe that if I hadn't blocked it, that blow wouldn't have killed the prince, but the prince could have taken your life!"

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Xia Tongsheng was so angry that she aggravated her wound and hissed coldly.

"Then why did you protect me!"

Mo Ziyu heard everything from Mo Chen: in order to cover up the fact that she had been stabbed, the princess lied to the prince and said that she had accidentally been pricked by a candlestick!

"I'm not just protecting you, I'm protecting the entire Yan Lane! I don't want the Prince to know that I'm harboring a wanted criminal!" Even more so, I don't want the Prince to know that Mo Chen is an imposter!

Mo Ziyu's gaze seemed somewhat wounded, like that of a stray dog ​​that had been abandoned!

"Actually, your father wasn't killed by the prince!"

"what?!"
