Chapter 61 Mo Cangyan is drunk

"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor has been assassinated!"

Xiao Feng rushed in and accidentally bumped into the two people who were about to kiss.

Hearing the sound, Feng Xiyao quickly pushed Mo Cangyan away, looked up at the roof, and pretended nothing had happened.

Xiao Feng was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but the matter was urgent and he didn't dare to delay.

Upon hearing that something had happened to the Grand Tutor, Mo Cangyan had no time to care about anything else and dragged Feng Xiyao along.

"Come with me out of the palace and take a look!"

Knowing how important the Grand Tutor was to Mo Cangyan, Feng Xiyao quickly followed him out.

“…”

Suddenly Xiao Feng was the only one left in the room. Seeing that his masters had gone out, he hurriedly followed.

Several people took a carriage and soon arrived at the Taifu Mansion. Mo Cangyan often came here to play when he was a child and knew the terrain. He brought Feng Xiyao to the study.

Before I entered, I heard a series of tragic and mournful voices. When I walked in, I saw an old woman lying on the tutor and crying loudly.

"Old man, I married you when I was little. I would do anything for you. Why did you leave before me?"

Hearing this, Feng Xiyao knew that the woman in front of him was the Taifu’s ill-fated wife, Xu!

[This Xu, worked so hard for the Grand Tutor for so many years, and in the end her husband kept a mistress outside without telling her, and now she watched her husband being killed with her own eyes. This life is really miserable! ]

Seeing Feng Xiyao looking at Xu lying on the ground with pity, Mo Cangyan walked over and patted her shoulder gently.

"Master's wife, I am deeply saddened!"

When Xu saw Mo Cangyan, she hugged him excitedly and cried even more heartbreakingly.

"Cang Yan, you are finally here, you must seek justice for my old man!"

Seeing Xu hugging the tyrant, crying with tears and snot falling on him, and calling him by his full name, the tyrant did not even frown.

Feng Xiyao suddenly remembered what was said in the book.

[When the tyrant was young, the queen mother was imprisoned, and the mother and son rarely met! ]

[Since Mrs. Xu had no children of her own, she treated Mo Cangyan like her own son and took good care of him during the time he lived in her house! ]

[She made up for the maternal love that the tyrant had when he was young. No wonder the tyrant was so patient with her! ]

Listening to Feng Xiyao's words, Mo Cangyan thought of the time when he was punished by his father as a child and was not allowed to eat. It was Xu who ran into the palace and secretly brought food for him.

Thinking of this, Mo Cangyan held Xu's hand tightly.

"Master, I will definitely find the murderer, don't worry!"

After comforting the person for a long time to stop crying, Mo Cangyan ordered Qin Fang to take the person away and spoke coldly.

"Didn't I tell you to tell the Master to be careful recently? Why is it still like this?"

Xiao Feng knelt down and lowered his head.

"Master, before I could tell you, something bad happened to the Master. Please punish me!"

"You didn't have time to tell me..." Mo Cangyan's eyes flashed with a chilling coldness: "I didn't expect them to act so quickly!"

Feng Xiyao didn't dare to look at the wound on the tutor's neck again and turned to look at the blood spurting around.

Mo Cangyan put his hands behind his back and motioned Xiao Feng to explain everything clearly.

Knowing that his master was truly angry, Xiao Feng immediately told him everything he knew.

"After the Grand Tutor returned home, he dismissed everyone shortly afterwards, so no one knew what he was doing in the study!"

"When Xu came to bring him food, she saw the master lying in a pool of blood. Only then did everyone know that the master was dead!"

“…”

It goes without saying that it was Kong Lu's doing. Mo Cang clenched his fists in anger.

After listening to this, Feng Xiyao looked at the place where the tutor fell. It was opposite to the door, and there was a vase next to him. She was a little confused but couldn't put her finger on it.

"Your Majesty, if the Master saw someone, he should have run to the door. Why did he run here?"

"Or did the murderer come in to kill him, and he ran here in a hurry?"

Looking at the environment in the study, there were no signs of chasing or fighting, and although the servants were dismissed, they were also guarding outside the door. If they came in, someone would probably hear the Master's shout!

Thinking of this, Mo Cangyan's eyes darkened. He walked to the vase and reached in to touch it.

Sure enough, he touched something and when he took it out, it turned out to be a stack of envelopes!

"There really is something inside!" Feng Xiyao said curiously.

Mo Cangyan opened the envelope and saw some old letters. From the letters, he could tell that they were the letters that Kong Lu and the Grand Tutor had secretly communicated with each other before.

There was also a letter that was hastily put away before the ink was even dry. I guess the tutor was in the study just to write this.

Seeing that the Taifu admitted to colluding with Kong Lu, deceiving Mo Cangyan, oppressing the common people, and jointly suppressing talented children from poor families.

The Grand Tutor wrote down every detail, one by one, with every word being sincere!

Feng Xiyao stood on tiptoe to finish reading the letter. When she saw the last line, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I don't ask for forgiveness from the emperor for everything I have done, I just hope the emperor can spare my family."

"Finally, I hope Your Majesty will not be too sad. Everything I have done is justified, but every time I think about embarrassing Your Majesty, I feel that I deserve to die!"

Seeing this, Feng Xiyao secretly glanced at Mo Cangyan who had an expressionless face.

[Sure enough, teachers understand their students best and know the tyrant's weird personality! ]

Mo Cangyan calmly put away the envelope and instructed Xiao Feng.

"The funeral of the Grand Tutor...will be held as a state funeral. He was very kind to me in educating me, and I don't want to be accused of being unfilial in the future!"

[Listen, you're starting to say something inconsistent again. You clearly want to do it, but you still have to find an excuse! ]

Mo Cangyan was very upset now and didn't want to argue with Feng Xiyao, so he turned around and left.

Return to the palace.

Mo Cangyan claimed to be ill and did not attend the morning court these days. He did not see anyone, not even the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother was worried about her son's health, so she asked Feng Xiyao to go and check on him.

The tyrant was in an extremely angry state right now. Feng Xiyao originally didn't want to go, but she didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother's order.

When she arrived at the Purple Gold Palace and saw Eunuch Hai go in to deliver a message, Feng Xiyao secretly prayed that the tyrant did not want to see her.

But things went against her wishes. Mo Cangyan, who had never seen anyone, let her in for the first time.

Facing Eunuch Hai's excited gaze, she walked in hesitantly.

This was the first time Feng Xiyao saw Mo Cangyan so depressed and lonely. He collapsed on the ground in a dignified manner, with a pile of bottles and jars under his feet.

Seeing that he wanted to finish the wine in his hand, Feng Xiyao quickly ran over and grabbed it.

"Mo Cangyan, stop drinking. Don't you know that drinking is harmful to your health?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Mo Cangyan slowly raised his scarlet eyes with a dazed look in his eyes. His hair was disheveled at this moment, and he had lost his former sternness. His face turned slightly red due to alcohol, and his thin lips were rosy.

This is a side of Feng Xiyao that I have never seen before. Good-looking people are good-looking no matter what.

Seeing this look of being bullied made her heart beat faster.

Mo Cangyan just looked at her quietly, and neither of them spoke...
