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

Chapter 8 Undercurrents surging
"Your Highness? What are you doing!?"

Ye Xuwan, who was still pretending to be weak, suddenly became energetic after seeing this.

This sentence made Mo Yunzheng stop his movements, and he looked at her with a suspicious expression, "What you said is quite spiritual. I'm just helping you treat your wounds, why are you making such a fuss."

"I...well, I am a humble person. I dare not trouble His Highness. I'd better do it myself."

Ye Xuwan tentatively stretched out her hand and took the bottle of trauma medicine from Mo Yunzheng's hand.

Just when Ye Xuwan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Mo Yunzheng suddenly grabbed her wrist, his eyes downcast with elusive emotions.

In an instant, Ye Xuwan's heart rose to her throat again.

"Your Highness! The remaining people have been dealt with. These corpses will be left to my subordinates to deal with..."

When they saw the blood all over Mo Yunzheng's body, all the guards immediately panicked.

"Your Highness, are you injured!? It's because your subordinates failed to protect you..."

"She's not hurt. Go check on her."

After receiving the order, the guard stepped forward to help Ye Xuwan check the wound.

Ye Xuwan's whole body was tense, fearing that she would be discovered as a girl if she wasn't careful.

Fortunately, the guard did not take action directly, but simply checked and felt the pulse.

"Your Highness, she is not seriously injured, just some superficial injuries, but she needs more rest."

Hearing this, Mo Yunzheng turned to look at Ye Xuwan again, seeming a little displeased: "Since you can't die, don't always look like you want to live or die next time."

"……Yes."

After returning to the palace at night, the guards from the daytime came to report.

"Your Highness, the person you left alive before is dead, but he left useful information. Concubine Lin and the eldest prince did what happened, and he also arranged Ye Shangshu's situation."

Mo Yunzheng was not surprised to get this result. After all, his good brother and noble concubine had always caused trouble for him the most.

After the morning session the next day, when the emperor returned to his palace and was about to have a meal, the guards outside the door came to report.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience."

After hearing this, the emperor continued what he was doing.

Seeing Mo Yunzheng walking in front of the emperor, his expression was solemn and a bit cold.

"My son has seen his father."

"You've come just in time, let's sit down and have a meal together."

The emperor didn't say much, and waved his hand to signal Mo Yunzheng to sit down.

But Mo Yunzheng suddenly clasped his hands, tightened his jaw, and suppressed his anger in his low voice, "Father, I was attacked by an assassin in the Chenghuang Temple the day before yesterday. If I hadn't been watched over by my personal eunuch, I would have been afraid. Now I can’t come to see my father!”

In the summer morning, Ye Xuwan was still sleeping soundly, while the eunuchs and maids outside had already started working in twos and threes.

Now that Ye Xuwan was the one who had protected Mo Yunzheng, even the manager had to worry about her injuries and give her more time to rest.

"Little Ye Zi, your Majesty summoned you."

Ye Xuwan, who had just woken up naturally, was about to go find some food when she was called by the steward to go to the imperial study.

Along the way, Ye Xuwan followed the steps of the chief steward, her brain spinning rapidly, thinking about various possibilities of being exposed.

After thinking about it, it was the most impossible thing to expose. I disguised myself very well yesterday!And Mo Qingsong would not be so stupid as to deliberately expose his thoughts in order to deal with her.

When he arrived at the gate of the imperial study, the chief steward stopped, and only the father-in-law beside the emperor took Ye Xuwan inside.

"This servant sees your majesty, the prince...sees the noble concubine, the eldest prince."

After passing through a long corridor and entering the inner room, Ye Xuwan raised her eyes and saw Mo Qingsong and Concubine Lin standing on the same side.

Ye Xuwan looked around, and after seeing Mo Yunzheng's figure, she quietly moved a few steps in his direction.

"Now that everyone is here, Zheng'er, tell them the situation."

As the emperor's words fell, Ye Xuwan could clearly feel that Mo Qingsong, who was standing opposite, tensed up and his lowered eyebrows could not hide the panic.

Mo Yunzheng's eagle-like eyes glanced around, his gaze resting heavily on Concubine Lin, "After the attack yesterday, I captured an assassin alive. After interrogation, the assassin revealed information that seemed to be somewhat similar to Concubine Lin. relation."

Hearing this, Concubine Lin, who was standing aside, looked blank for a moment, her face suddenly sinking: "So, the prince thinks that this person was sent by me to assassinate him? What evidence does the prince have?" "Not yet, just However... the reason why I went to the Chenghuang Temple was because Ye Shangshu informed me of the whereabouts of Miss Shangshufu. Gu remembered that the emperor brother had a good relationship with Ye Shangshu recently..."

Mo Yunzheng's eyebrows stretched, and his face with a slight smile was mixed with a look of scrutiny.

The moment Mo Qingsong raised his eyes, he happened to face him, and a moment of panic flashed in his eyes.

Although Concubine Lin's face was not visible, the color on her face was fading rapidly, and she was even breathing heavily.

"Only based on this conclusion? When the prince went out to investigate, Song'er didn't follow him. How could he decide your whereabouts?"

Facing Concubine Lin's question, Mo Yunzheng lowered his eyes slightly, "There is no need for the Emperor to personally come forward in this matter, as long as someone can guide me and ensure that I go to Ye Shangshu's residence."

In the imperial study room, the lights flickered and the candles burned, making a crackling sound, adding a bit of solemnity to the air.

Ye Xuwan stood quietly beside Mo Yunzheng, not daring to say anything easily. She just glanced in Mo Qingsong's direction from time to time, praying in her heart that no one would notice her.

"Little Leaf."

"Slave, slave is here!"

The emperor's words frightened Ye Xuwan so much that she hurriedly knelt down in front of the emperor.

"You and the prince were the only ones traveling together yesterday. Is there anything you want to say?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuwan couldn't help but hold her breath.

After thinking for a long time, he spoke slightly anxiously: "Your Majesty, it was my servant who accidentally guided the prince to the Shangshu Mansion, but... my servant did not know that there was an assassin in the Chenghuang Temple, otherwise he would never have let the prince pass!"

Listening to the answer, the emperor's eyebrows became more glaring, "Who asked you to do this?"

The emperor's majesty was naturally terrifying, and Ye Xuwan's brain instantly began to anticipate various possible occurrences.

Finally, she glanced in the direction of Mo Qingsong, her expression showing a moment of fear.

"Back to Your Majesty, no one asked me to do this. It's just that... I met the eldest prince by chance the day before yesterday. He... He reminded me that Ye Shangshu, as Miss Ye's father, might know the final whereabouts of her daughter. , so the slave will..."

As soon as Ye Xuwan said this, Mo Qingsong opened his eyes in disbelief and glared at Ye Xuwan angrily.

The gloomy look like a poisonous snake made Ye Xuwan shake her body, pretending to be panicked, and her voice trembled.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the eldest prince also kindly reminded you that maybe he doesn't know about the assassin either..."

Her acting skills were so realistic, and her eyes occasionally glanced in Mo Qingsong's direction, which finally caught the emperor's attention.

"Songer."

The emperor stood up and walked to Mo Qingsong, calmly asking: "How do you explain this matter?"

Hearing this, Mo Qingsong looked panicked and said hurriedly: "Father, I just want to help my fourth brother, and have no other ideas! There must be someone else who is responsible for the assassin! Someone else wants to frame me. Minister and mother-in-law.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Song'er has a deep relationship with the prince. How could he do something to hurt the prince?"

Upon seeing this, Concubine Lin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "However, this matter is indeed due to Song'er's mistake, which gave the assassin the opportunity to attack the prince. In this matter...Song'er is indeed responsible."

Concubine Lin was determined to retreat. Now it was impossible for Mo Qingsong to escape unscathed. The only way was to turn this matter over as soon as possible and make plans later.

Mo Qingsong's eyes met Lin Guifei's and he quickly understood the meaning.

Before the emperor could continue to ask, Mo Qingsong knelt down and said in a lower voice: "This matter is my fault. I must personally catch the person who assassinated my fourth brother and give him an explanation!"

Seeing Mo Qingsong taking such initiative, the emperor knew that this matter was closely related to Mo Qingsong.

But relying only on the words of a slave, he couldn't convict Mo Qingsong.

"Okay, since you took the initiative to ask for help, I give you three days to find out the person! Otherwise, this crime will be laid on your head, and you will personally apologize to Zheng'er!"

"Yes, my son obeys the order!"

When Ye Xuwan came out of the imperial study room, she felt warm all over her body, as if she had finally escaped from an extremely cold place.

I was still glad that I was not implicated, but the moment I turned my head, I met Mo Qingsong's stern eyes.

Ye Xuwan shuddered subconsciously, took a few steps back and hid behind Mo Yunzheng.

"Fourth brother is really awesome. He can raise a dog that protects his master..."
