Although Mo Xian'er was happy, she did not forget to leave herself a way out.

"So, is this just a rumor or is it true? If it's true, how about I go find it?"

The Crown Prince didn't beat around the bush with Mo Xian'er and directly stated his purpose, confident that Mo Xian'er's family would be tied to him from now on.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask tomorrow, but my face..."

The Crown Prince looked at Mo Xian'er with tenderness in his eyes, "Tomorrow, I will take you to fight back."

Early in the morning, the Crown Prince brought Mo Xian'er to the concubine's place and personally slapped her.

The concubine gritted her teeth in anger, while Mo Xian'er hid in the crown prince's arms, saying, "Your Highness, the concubine is glaring at me."

The Crown Prince glanced coldly at the concubine, "Remember your place!"

The concubine retreated unwillingly, "Yes."

The Crown Prince then took the happy Mo Xian'er back.

Mo Xian'er asked the Crown Prince to accompany her back, but the Crown Prince refused, saying, "Xian'er, if I go back with you now, Father will definitely not be happy. The best way to protect you is for me to not care about you in front of others."

You need a shield in front of you. Before, it was Mo Yan; now it's the concubine. Understand?

Mo Xian'er was a little confused. She didn't like anyone being more important than her, even if it was fake. But at this moment, she could only pretend to be sensible and said, "Your Highness, I understand."

Mo Xian'er went back by herself, and her parents rushed to greet her when they saw their daughter return.

"My daughter, how is it? How does the Crown Prince treat you?"

Mo Xian'er was a little shy and bashful. "The Crown Prince treats me very well and even said that he would make me Empress in the future."

The Mo couple were so happy they almost jumped for joy. "Really? That's wonderful! We'll be royalty from now on!"

Mo Xian'er nodded, somewhat embarrassed, "Father, Mother, is the treasure map in our house real? The Crown Prince said that he wants to use it to find the treasure, and then Father will become the Duke."

When Mo Xian'er mentioned the Crown Prince's promise, her family became overjoyed, as if they could already see future wealth and glory.

It's no wonder they were so short-sighted. They weren't originally from the Lingnan family; they were separated from the main branch. As for the treasure map they received, it was naturally fake.

"Okay, I'll give it to you right now."

Mo's father took it out and gave the box to Mo Xian'er.

"Daughter, this is the most important thing in our family. Now it's all yours. You must win the prince's heart, understand?"

"Your dad isn't very bright and can't help you much. He just hopes you can rise in status and bring glory to our family."

Although Mo's father was a third-rank official, he was not considered very good in the capital. The reason he had a reputation was because of the Mo family's medical skills, but in reality, he didn't know any medicine at all.

Mo Xian'er, on the other hand, knows how to cultivate a persona, becoming a talented woman in the eyes of others.

She could have used her intelligence in other areas, but she just doesn't.

They used her to make her a talented woman, and then started casting a wide net.

She made a chance encounter with each of the princes, and then developed a mutual appreciation for them, just to see who she would end up with.

She probably doesn't realize she's about to crash and burn.

After taking the things, Mo Xian'er went back.

Upon returning to the Crown Prince's residence, she quickly gave the box to the Crown Prince.

The emperor was also aware of this matter, and he knew very well what was going on with this treasure map. He even secretly encouraged it.

This time, they also sent people to keep an eye on the Crown Prince, wanting to see what choice he would make.

What would you do if you got a treasure map?

Of course, he also gave one to each of the princes.

After finding it, the fifteenth prince quickly brought it to his father, the emperor, saying, "Father, look, this is a treasure map!"

"What is the fifteenth prince going to do with it, Father?"

"Xiao Liu said that if he found something, he should give it to his teacher and parents."

Mo Xiaoliu is Mo Yan's younger brother.

The emperor was very pleased; the fifteenth prince was quite good.

"Don't you want to go treasure hunting yourself? That way you'll have lots of treasures."

Little Fifteen's eyes lit up, then he shook his head. "What Little Fifteen can't find, Father Emperor can find, and Father Emperor will give to Little Fifteen."

Little Fifteen is too small, he can't compete...

The Emperor: "..." That makes a lot of sense.

"Father, the fifteenth is leaving."

"Go, go..."

Hey, why does he think this little fifteenth is a bit chubby? He's round and chubby like a ball!

It was at this time that the eldest prince arrived.

After checking, he found it to be true and quickly brought the memorial with him.

The emperor was initially quite pleased, thinking that this eldest son was alright, knowing to give him the treasure map.

Unexpectedly, he was given a memorial to the throne.

It says that the Crown Prince was using iron ore to forge weapons without permission, and it also includes the address of the iron ore and a map of the area.

"Father, I believe this matter cannot be ignored, otherwise..."

The emperor, of course, knew this, and he looked at his eldest son and asked, "How did you know?"

The emperor was eager to know when his eldest son had begun investigating the matter.

Not long ago, a letter suddenly appeared in my study.

"I was very flustered when he appeared."

The eldest prince took out the letter, but it was a copy made by someone else, not the strategist's handwriting. He was still too young to have any contact with the crown prince's strategist.

If possible, it wouldn't be impossible for him to work with that strategist to deal with the Crown Prince. He's unwilling, so this letter is a way to manipulate the strategist.

"My family has guards, but they are useless to this person. I dare not believe what is said in this letter, nor do I dare not believe it."

If it is true, it must be dealt with, so I sent people to investigate whether this matter is true.
