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

Who would come to chat at this hour?

Ye Xuwan thought so in her heart, but she kept saying the same, and even eagerly boiled a pot of water and started making tea.

She suspected that Mo Yunzheng built this bamboo house just for the convenience, and the main purpose was to slave her to make tea in the middle of the night.

"Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"

If it seemed familiar, if Ye Xuwan hadn't still been holding the teapot in her hand, she would really have thought that she was dreaming just now.

Ye Xuwan cleared her throat, "Slave can't..."

"It's not Yan Jieyu I'm talking about," Mo Yunzheng's expression was not serious, and could even be said to be very relaxed. He lazily leaned on the chair with a blanket on his legs, "It's you."

"Slave..." Ye Xuwan opened her mouth, and the rest of her words were swallowed down her throat.

The only thing she hid from Mo Yunzheng was her gender, but this was something she could never tell.

But Mo Yunzheng never asked questions about which he was unsure.

Ye Xuwan became more and more entangled for a while. She didn't think the outcome would be any better after what she said.

"Huh?" Mo Yunzheng clasped his knuckles lightly on the table, making a soft sound, one after another, hitting Ye Xuwan's heart like a drumbeat.

He didn't want Ye Xuwan to explain everything clearly, he only wanted to confirm one thing.

If Ye Xuwan could tell him even the most unspeakable things, Mo Yunzheng's last suspicion would be dispelled.

"Your Highness," Ye Xuwan hesitated for a while, her voice a little low, "Can you give me some time? It's not that you don't want to say it, it's just that I can't say it now."

She couldn't say it now, she had to find a chance to sneak out of the palace.

From now on, even if he meets Mo Yunzheng, he can insist that he doesn't know anything.

Mo Yunzheng was not surprised by this answer. Rather, it was somewhat rewarding, "Then go to bed early."

After saying that, he stood up and left, leaving a freshly filled cup of tea still steaming on the table.

Ye Xuwan stood there blankly. It wasn't until the door closed that she realized she was still holding a teapot in her hand.

As soon as the tea was brewed, Mo Yunzheng didn't take another sip. Now Ye Xuwan was sitting on the chair and slowly drank the cold tea.

Obviously she didn't want to waste it, but Ye Xuwan felt that her whole body was warmed by the cup of hot tea.
-

Because she drank tea, Ye Xuwan didn't fall asleep until dawn. She always fell asleep at this time recently, and if she continued like this, she would really have a mental breakdown.

As the culprit, Mo Yunzheng didn't feel guilty at all, and even laughed out loud when he saw Ye Xuwan looking like she had lost her soul.

"Why, your soul flew out last night?" Xiao Xizi was about to move forward when she met Mo Yunzheng's eyes, then silently stepped away and kept her distance.

Mo Yunzheng called him over early in the morning, and it was a good beating overtly and covertly.

In short, stay away from Grandpa Xiaoye, especially men.

Xiao Xizi had to admit that he was quite happy when he heard this. The eunuch was originally a man, but the people in the palace had not noticed the eunuch for a long time.

When Mo Yunzheng said this, Xiao Xizi straightened up a bit today.

"It's almost like flying out." Ye Xuwan's words were a little slurred. She squinted her eyes, as if she would fall asleep in the next moment.

Mo Yunzheng pulled her casually, and before Ye Xuwan could react, she was dragged to a chair.

"Your Highness!" This time, no matter how sleepy she was, she was still scared to wake up, but before she could stand up, she was pressed to the chair again. "Have a rest," Mo Yunzheng said and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked as if he felt guilty for inadvertently disturbing her for a while last night. "There is nothing for you to do now."

Ye Xuwan felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, she pursed her lips and sat on the chair, but before she could hold on for long, she fell asleep again.

Xiao Xizi didn't dare to say a word when she saw this, for fear of waking up Ye Xuwan, so she was dragged out by His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness," Xiao Xizi was still a little worried. He walked to Mo Yunzheng and whispered, "Is it possible that you..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Eleven who jumped down from the tree.

"Your Highness," Eleven's face was not pretty. When his eyes fell on Ye Xuwan, he hesitated several times. The surprise deep in his eyes could hardly be concealed, "it was found out."

The smile on Mo Yunzheng's face gradually faded. He could probably guess what Xiao Xizi wanted to ask just now, but he just gave a warning look and left with Eleven.

In the small study room, Eleven handed the things he found to Mo Yunzheng, "My subordinates have checked everywhere. These are the people who have disappeared in the capital this year. As you said, the nobles of the palace have been separated one by one." It’s written.”

Mo Yunzheng hummed and looked down. Excluding the men, there were only two women missing.

One is the youngest daughter of the Yushi Mansion of Youdu, and the other is the second young lady of the Ye family of the Shangshu Mansion.

Mo Yunzheng's eyes fell on the word Shangshufu, his eyes dark.

The youngest daughter of the Yushi family in Youdu is now only ten years old, so this is the only second young lady left.

"Go check Miss Ye Er," Mo Yunzheng didn't believe that Xiao Zizi was a coincidence. "When did she disappear and who did she disappear after contacting her? Let me find out clearly."

"My subordinate understands," Eleven was about to retreat, but suddenly thought of something, "Your Highness is suspicious of that little Ye Zi?"

Mo Yunzheng nodded. If she was really the second young lady of Shangshu Mansion, then staying with her would be of great use.

not to mention……

He dismissed the inexplicable thoughts in his mind and ordered in a deep voice, "No matter what you find out, remember not to make it public."

Mo Yunzheng knew that Ye Xuwan knew Eleven, and sometimes he would secretly learn some innocuous things from Eleven.

Eleven understood what could be said and what could not be said. Now that Mo Yunzheng had given special instructions, he responded and turned around to leave.

Mo Yunzheng thought for a while, then wrote another letter and asked the pigeon to deliver it to Mo Qingsong's yard.

Shugui will definitely take action during this period, and he has to take the opportunity to make a stumbling block.

Ye Xuwan knocked lightly on the door outside. Thinking that she actually fell asleep on the chair, she couldn't help but feel helpless. "Your Highness, the breakfast in the kitchen is ready. There is something sweet today."

Seeing that Mo Yunzheng didn't answer, Ye Xuwan knocked on the door again, "Your Highness? Do you want to go out to eat, or are you in the study?"

"Bring it in." Mo Yunzheng came back from his thoughts.

Ye Xuwan then ordered someone to put the breakfast on the table in the small study, "Your Highness, it's better not to approve the memorial this morning. I'll have a headache soon."

Mo Yunzheng said nothing, but looked at Ye Xuwan calmly, suddenly feeling a little unsure again.

Is it possible that the second young lady of Shangshu Mansion has no arrogance at all and is willing to be a eunuch in the East Palace?

The more Mo Yunzheng looked at her, the more he felt that Ye Xuwan's words and deeds... really didn't look like a wealthy lady.
