She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Ye Xuwan frantically recalled the plot of the original book. Logically speaking, Mo Yunzheng should have no chance of meeting the original person.

The original body did not have this memory impression either.

So what exactly does Mo Yunzheng mean? Was it to deceive her or did he really know something?

Ye Xuwan was brainstorming, but she still forced a smile on her face, "No way, my slave doesn't have nothing to do on weekdays, so why would he pay attention to whose face he looks like?"

She said this, but her eyes were still looking at Mo Yunzheng and she didn't dare to move away, for fear that the other party would think she was guilty.

What would happen if Mo Yunzheng recognized this?

"Really? But Ke Gu feels that your face is very familiar."

Mo Yunzheng raised his eyebrows as he spoke, with a hint of inquiry.

It's just that Ye Xuwan was bitten to death before, so Mo Yunzheng seemed a little regretful.

"Okay, let's go."

Mo Yunzheng waved his hand, and Ye Xuwan felt relieved as if she had been pardoned, and left.

This time, Ye Xuwan didn't dare to sleep until dawn, so much so that when she got up, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Standing behind Mo Yunzheng, he kept rubbing his eyes.

Mo Yunzheng only kept one of the people who had spent so much effort to catch him last night, and sent the rest to Dali Temple.

It's said to be an auxiliary investigation.

"When does Your Highness think this matter will be resolved?"

Ye Xuwan asked about assassins.

When Mo Yunzheng heard this, he just turned his eyes slightly and put an inconspicuous dagger back into its sheath, "It will be soon."

For some reason, Ye Xuwan always felt that what he was talking about was not just about this time.

Forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Ye Xuwan nodded in agreement, but the worry in her eyebrows was real.

"This slave is a little worried. If Concubine Shu cannot be brought down this time, they will definitely take strict precautions in the future."

This goes without saying, everyone knows it.

Mo Yunzheng said, "I don't intend to bring her down this time. Do you think Concubine Shu doesn't know where these people come from?"

Ye Xuwan was startled, but she understood immediately. She lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the shock in her eyes.

Mo Yunzheng was also trying to create a divorce.

If Concubine Shu knew where these assassins came from, or roughly knew who ordered them, then once the token appeared in her palace, it would be impossible for Concubine Lin to evade it.

The two people who haven't had time to fully form an alliance will basically collapse by now.

"It's good that you understand, but you can't let others know about this," Mo Yunzheng said, pointing in the direction of the dungeon, "Why don't you go see what the assassin said."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Xuwan almost immediately thought of Lanzhi's death, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Is this slave...not going to go?" Ye Xuwan became more and more frightened as she looked at it.

Like Lanzhi, she was the one who kept secrets from Mo Yunzheng.

But it's different. Lanzhi doesn't know as much as she does.

Ye Xuwan only felt that if she was caught by Mo Yunzheng one day, the end would be even worse.

Mo Yunzheng frowned, "No, what do you think Gu asked you to go down to see?"

He said as if he suddenly remembered something, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You are still afraid."

The fear of this is not the fear of that. Ye Xuwan didn't know how to explain it to Mo Yunzheng. The two looked at each other in silence for a long time before she relaxed and said, "Yes, I understand."

He saw that she didn't understand at all.

Mo Yunzheng said nothing, but raised his hand to signal Ye Xuwan to follow him.

In the dungeon, the assassin had been tied up and stuffed with cloth in his mouth to prevent him from committing suicide.

"Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate Gu?"

The assassin could no longer move, and was tied up on his knees in an extremely weird posture.

Ye Xuwan knew at a glance that the assassin's hand was broken, and there was no need to keep it tied like this.

The cloth from the assassin's mouth was torn off, and the breathing of several people could only be heard in the dungeon.

"Since you know everything, what else do you have to ask?" The assassin was so angry that he seemed to die here at any time in the next second.

Ye Xuwan stood behind Mo Yunzheng and looked at the assassin quietly. Although there was no blood test this time, she could tell that he might be more ruthless.

The assassin's clothes were clean, and if you got a little closer, you could smell the herbal smell coming from him.

I guess it was after my hand was broken that I had it checked by a doctor.

If it happens again and again, you will go crazy even if you don't die.

"I know there is a difference between talking to yourself, do you understand?" Mo Yunzheng sat on a chair nearby and spoke slowly, looking at the assassin with a suggestive look.

Seeing that the assassin was still refusing to speak, Ye Xuwan tried to persuade him again, "As long as you identify him here, I won't let you go to His Majesty to tell him."

The smile on Mo Yunzheng's lips deepened when he heard this, "Do you understand? If you refuse to say it, then don't blame Gu Men for being ruthless."

Although Ye Xuwan had long expected to be tortured, she had never faced punishment so realistically.

When the whip sounded, the assassin couldn't even hum. He could only bite the cloth that was stuffed back into his mouth, and his whole body trembled from the whip.

Ye Xuwan watched the execution process and felt that the whip would fall on her in the next second.

"Are you scared?" Mo Yunzheng said suddenly. He turned his head and rested one hand on the chair, looking particularly lazy.

Then he gently patted the small stool beside him and said, "Don't be so nervous. Sit down for a while. Those who don't know may think that I am judging you."

Even so, his eyes never left Ye Xuwan, as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Ye Xuwan's tense nerves became even more tense when she heard the word "trial you", and then she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Mo Yunzheng ask her to sit down.

She didn't know how many times she whipped the assassin, but when she realized it, the assassin had already passed out.

There was blood on his back, and his clothes had been stained red. It looked really horrible.

"Your Highness..."

But Mo Yunzheng just patted her hand soothingly, "You can't die."

Is this a question of whether to die or not? Why did you pat her hand when you were so good?

Ye Xuwan still swallowed the question that came to her lips, but smiled very reluctantly. She always felt that Mo Yunzheng was trying to scare the monkeys.

"Don't kill him, I want to hear his confession tomorrow," Mo Yunzheng said and stood up, not forgetting to pass a piece of pastry on the small table beside him to Ye Xuwan, "Let's go."

Ye Xuwan only had the word "tomorrow" in her mind. She didn't know what to say for a moment and could only sigh softly.

There was no way she could eat. She just begged Mo Yunzheng not to take her down again tomorrow.

"Your Highness, what if he refuses to say anything?"
