Chu Mu's attention was focused on the old supervisor, and he didn't see when King Yin drew his sword.
clang!
Everything happened in a flash, and Nan Mo's sword blocked the knife that King Yin was about to use to chop Chu Mu.
"Your Majesty." Nan Mo's face was extremely cold. "What are you doing?"
"What did you do?" The Yin King was so angry that his voice changed. "He is a traitor and a traitor. He is guilty of trying to assassinate the emperor. Is this enough for me to kill him?"
"His Majesty."
Nan Mo could feel the weakness of the man he was confronting. If he pushed harder, the Hidden King would surely fall flat on his face.
But he is the monarch of Daxia after all...
Nan Mo suppressed his impulse and raised his voice, "Your Majesty, the Supervisor is referring to Empress Ruji, right? This seems to involve secrets from the past. Why don't you listen?"
"I..." The Hidden King's eyes flickered, as if he couldn't find a reasonable reason to refuse.
Chu Mu, who was almost stabbed, patted his chest and said, "Phew—that was a close call."
The old jailer was still wailing and begging for mercy.
I don’t know if it’s the plot force at work, but no matter how the old supervisor shouted or exposed himself, he never said that the hidden king was a fake.
"Your Majesty," Nan Mo was the first to put away his sword, "I implore you to thoroughly investigate the case of Empress Ru Ji."
"I dare to join in the request..." The left guard knelt down with red eyes, "My humble mother was the court lady by the side of Empress Ruji, and she also died on the night of her passing."
The rumor in the palace at that time was that the female official failed to take good care of Ru Ji, which led to her sudden illness. On the night of Ru Ji's death, all the servants in Ruyue Palace hanged themselves.
The mother of the Left Guard was one of the female officials.
"I also request the same." The right guard knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please too!"
"I, too!"
Several people were involved in Ru Ji's death that night, and there were many people in the Imperial Guards who could be related to her.
What's more, the old eunuch had just finished talking about the Ru Ji case and was explaining other things one after another.
In short, it's like a snowball, one thing leads to another.
The people involved are estimated to account for half of the Great Xia court.
The person who appears most frequently is the Grand Tutor.
[Who is this Grand Master? What role does he play in the story of Chaomu?]
Good question, I'd like to know too.
Nan Mo was on guard against the Hidden King in front of him while eavesdropping on Chu Mu's thoughts.
{I can't find it... It's not in the plot, not even a single word about it.}
Lao Ba was a little skeptical and flipped through the entire plane information page again.
{How strange! How could such an important character like him disappear so completely?}
It’s not so much that it was not mentioned, but rather that all traces of it were artificially erased.
Anyone who can erase plane information must at least be at the administrator level of the Quick Travel Administration.
Lao Ba was rarely cautious and planned to wait until the matter was over before reporting to Chu Mu.
"I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case of the Imperial Observatory's Director!"
More and more people dropped their weapons and knelt down to pay homage.
This time, Prince Yin brought with him the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Observatory.
The commander of the Imperial Guards has already joined the team to request the case, and the other soldiers will naturally follow suit.
The only people who have not spoken yet are those from the Imperial Observatory.
However, they did not speak up to defend the old warden.
Who doesn't understand the principle of keeping oneself safe?
"You!" King Yin was furious. "Okay! Okay!"
He glared at Chu Mu fiercely through the mask: "You can investigate the case, but take this man to jail as well!"
"Your Majesty!" Nan Mo's furrowed brows showed his displeasure.
"What? Are you feeling sad?"
The Hidden King's voice suddenly became hoarse, which was very different from what Chu Mu had heard before.
[Hmm? Did he deliberately hide it earlier? Is this his real voice? Could this guy be Xibei Jie's male lover?]
[Damn, it turns out men can also hold it, let me try it - disgusting! Am I holding it tight enough?]
Nan Mo has now become accustomed to Chu Mushi's speeches that he cannot understand from time to time. He has even learned to listen selectively.
For example, in the heartbeat just now, Nan Mo only heard the last two sentences accurately.
It turns out that beauties like to clamp...
It’s over, my nose is hot again.
Nan Mo's face suddenly turned red.
The person who had the expressionless Old Seventh who was not far behind him had a similar reaction. His fingers gripping the knife handle twitched a few times, tightened and then loosened.
When Prince Yin saw Nan Mo's sudden blush, he became even more furious: "Xu Zhi! You actually got into a fight with me over a lowly servant. Anyone who dares to stop me today will be disobeying my order!"
The crime of disobeying the imperial order is punishable by death.
A look of genuine worry appeared on the stiff face of the paralyzed Old Seven.
"Your Majesty," Nan Mo's eyes were heavy, as if they wanted to crush the Yin King into the mud, "Just now, I have arranged for the master in the mansion to draw a collection of everything that has just happened and take it out of the Duke's Mansion."
"you!"
King Yin realized something and stared at Nan Mo in disbelief.
"As long as I don't give the signal to stop, tomorrow there will be storytellers in all the major teahouses telling stories about what happened in the Duke's Mansion today."
Nan Mo raised his brows slightly, looking confident.
"The strange vision from heaven, coupled with the old eunuch's account, and the fact that Your Majesty disregarded the cause of Mother's death and was solely focused on punishing Chao Mu, the people will probably be very happy to hear it."
"You—Xu Zhi!!" The Yin King's sword trembled with anger. "How dare you do this to me!"
"Your Majesty," the eunuch, his face painted white as a wall, crouched over and said, "The Duke always keeps his word. If the storyteller were to spread this, it would be bad for you!"
King Yin held his breath and wheezed like a cow.
"Your Majesty, I think we should appease them for now. I'll go back and ask the Grand Tutor. I'll have a way to deal with that bitch!"
The white-faced eunuch's voice was very soft, but Chu Mu could hear it clearly with the help of his original body's strong internal strength.
This is so strange.
Chu Mu lifted a strand of hair that was scattered on his cheek.
[Why is this Kung Fu so powerful? ]
He was referring to Asamurai himself.
Nan Mo and the expressionless Lao Qi, who could hear his heartbeats, mistakenly thought that Chu Mu was talking about the white-faced eunuch.
They both looked over silently - could it be that this eunuch's true character is not what he seems?
The two sides, who were wary of each other, simultaneously put away their sharp hostility.
"My Lord, I know you care about your subordinates. I am truly touched..."
The white-faced eunuch pretended to wipe away a few crocodile tears.
"I do have a suggestion. I'll leave Chaomu in your care for now. Once we have a clearer picture of the Imperial Observatory, we can discuss the Qiufeng Cliff case. What do you think?"
Nan Mo originally wanted to completely protect Chu Mu today, but the other party had a master that even Chu Mu was wary of...
"What you said makes sense, eunuch." Nan Mo flicked his sleeves and said, "Then let's do it this way."
"Three days."
A hoarse voice came out from between King Yin's teeth.
"I only give you three days. After three days, no matter what the reason, I will come to arrest you!"
