"Princess Hua, do you know how I have dealt with those people who knew about the Yunluo incident in the past few days?" Gong Yunyang asked word by word with gritted teeth.

Mo Lian was still cold and indifferent to the emperor's rage, looking at the emperor with no fear. "I know that in recent days, except for the empress dowager's confidants, the soldiers who entered the inn that day, anyone who might know the truth about the princess's death, have all met with accidents. Because the empress dowager and the emperor don't want the princess to have a stain and be pointed at by others."

"In that case, you should know that no one in my harem will know!" Gong Yunyang pinched Mo Lian's chin with one hand, his eyes seemed to want to cut her into pieces. Of course, he didn't want to kill Mo Lian, but she just mentioned the scar that she didn't want others to know.

For him, being an emperor is lonely. And before he became an emperor, he was not happy either. How many people were eyeing the position of the crown prince? The only person he could trust was Gong Yunluo. Moreover, after the death of their mother, they lived on thin ice. With Gong Yunfei's mother being favored and giving birth to a prince, it was not impossible that his father wanted to change the crown prince. If it weren't for the queen mother, he would probably be a defeated enemy now.

"But Your Majesty, I don't want to know, but I know it anyway. Your Majesty already knows that I was controlled by others after entering the palace, didn't you? I know that Your Majesty treats me well and trusts me. Now that I know it, how can I deceive Your Majesty? Moreover, if it was not related to Princess Yunluo, I would definitely not stand in the limelight at this time, when Your Majesty is still unhappy, and be the person who would be abandoned by Your Majesty at any time, right?" Mo Lian looked at the emperor with no fear, but only stubborn persistence.

And it was precisely this persistence that caused Gong Yunyang's hand, which was pinching her chin, to slowly loosen.

"My sister can only be pure and innocent." Gong Yunyang's implication was to warn Mo Lian that no one was allowed to disclose this matter.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand." Mo Lian nodded, then let out a long sigh.

After a long silence, Gong Yunyang calmed down and said to Concubine Hua: "Tell me what you think."

Gong Yunyang's softening made Mo Lian realize that her next words would clear obstacles for the prince's next plan. However, she also understood what was revealed between the lines, and she needed to be careful with her words. After sorting out her thoughts, Mo Lian spoke, "After I learned about the princess's affairs, I judged her from my own perspective and felt that something was indeed wrong."

Meeting Gong Yunyang's gaze, Mo Lian saw Gong Yunyang's curiosity and continued, "Your Majesty, you should understand better than me how deep the princess's feelings for the War King are, right?"

Mo Lian's question made Gong Yunyang feel a little bitter. He forced a smile and nodded, "Indeed, my sister really has a deeper affection for Situ Xunxiao than for me. For Situ Xunxiao, she can betray me many times."

Hearing the disappointment in Gong Yunyang's tone, Mo Lian smiled softly, "Your Majesty is wrong. If the princess was really like what you said, how could you love her so much and spoil her to the point of lawlessness? In fact, it's because Your Majesty knows that the princess has a deep affection for you, and for the War King, it is an inseparable love, isn't it? And the grudge between Your Majesty and the War King concerns the court, you have to do it. So, if possible, you are willing to let the princess be."

Naturally, when Mo Lian was trying to comfort the emperor, he also got to the point. "But Your Majesty, from what I see, the princess's love for the War King has long been deep in her bones. What do you think?"

The emperor nodded in approval of Mo Lian's words. Over the years, because of Yun Luo, he had to take some things into consideration. Even when he killed someone, he was worried that Yun Luo would be affected, and that she would save Situ Xunxiao and ignore her own safety. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be so difficult for him to succeed every time he issued a killing order.

"What does this have to do with Yunluo's death?" Gong Yunyang frowned.

"Your Majesty, that's right. The blood-stained handkerchief in the Queen Mother's handwriting that looks very much like Princess Yunluo's is the most suspicious. Because the Emperor and the Queen Mother are both immersed in grief, you love the princess, and naturally hope to fulfill her wish of marrying Prince Zhan, which she had always dreamed of during her lifetime. However, Prince Zhan became suspicious because of Princess Xiaoting's disturbance. After all, in Prince Zhan's heart, Princess Xiaoting is his favorite, and Princess Yunluo is a little sister. With the threat of Princess Xiaoting, Prince Zhan naturally saw some things more clearly than the Emperor and the Queen Mother." Mo Lian handed the water delivery to Gong Yunyang, and then continued, "Your Majesty, think about it, if the princess was thinking about Prince Zhan at the last moment, then, with the princess's pride, would she allow herself to be seen in front of others with her clothes in disarray?"

"Perhaps Yun Luo felt humiliated and wanted to die."

"No, Your Majesty, if that's the case, then this handkerchief wouldn't exist!" Mo Lian shook his head, firmly denying the emperor's guess.

Her denial also startled the emperor. Yes, if she was determined to die, there would be no such handkerchief. And if she was not so sad, she would have written the handkerchief in the most perfect posture before dying. In other words, these two things are in conflict! Gong Yunyang's eyes suddenly widened, and there was shock in his eyes as he looked at Mo Lian.

"If that's the case, then the only person who benefits from this silk handkerchief is Gong Yunfei."

"But Your Majesty, I also heard that when this person went in, the man inside was also unconscious." Seeing that Gong Yunyang was about to get angry, Mo Lian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please listen to me. I understand that no matter whether this person cheated on the princess because of the drug or for other reasons, he is unforgivable. But Your Majesty, if you care too much, you will be confused. Have you ever thought about it, if it was drugged, then why did he fall into a coma? Extremely exhausted? No matter what the reason was, he must have fallen into a coma in the end, and the princess committed suicide. Can I guess this way, after this person fell into a coma, the princess woke up? Your Majesty, think about it, if this is the case, what is the first thing the princess will do?"

After Mo Lian's analysis, Gong Yunyang's eyes slowly became clear. Yes, with Yun Luo's personality, how could he commit suicide if he didn't kill Gongsun Zixing? In other words, there are many doubts in this!

Seeing the emperor's gaze, Mo Lian pressed the issue, "Moreover, if Princess Yun Fei likes you, it might make sense that Princess Yun Luo would entrust the matter to her. However, as far as I know, Princess Yun Fei has never expressed it, right?"

Never showed it? Gong Yunyang's murderous intent gradually intensified.
