Chapter 121 Zhuo Yu takes the order
Lan Yan said without embarrassment: "Master, I am a bit arbitrary. I treat people well or badly based on my own preferences. I think you are trustworthy, so I will not hide it from you, nor do I want to hide it from you.
Moreover, based on your affection for Prince Lan, I think you are actually a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. " He said as he looked at Jun Huo Lan.
Jun Huolan immediately nodded in agreement.
Mo Yunzhu laughed dumbly and said, "You really think highly of me. I will never show mercy to my enemies."
"Master, then we are very similar. I will not show mercy to my enemies, otherwise I would have died in another country long ago."
Lan Yan's eyes were bright, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Mo Yunzhu, his younger master.
Mo Yunzhu began to help him remove the needles, then smiled and said, "Okay, it's better to be able to protect yourself. Let's go here first today. I can't stay in Prince Lan's mansion for too long. There are the emperor's people monitoring us outside. Lan Yan, if you are free, help me keep an eye on Bai Ziya."
Lan Yan nodded immediately and said, "No problem. By the way, why does the emperor want to monitor Prince Lan?"
Jun Huolan glanced at Mo Yunzhu, and Mo Yunzhu said, "Because the emperor likes me and doesn't want me to become the Princess of Lan."
"What!" Lan Yan was completely dumbfounded.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly when I have time." Mo Yunzhu was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Fuck, this is a tyrant!"
Mo Yunzhu almost laughed out loud, and Jun Huolan was stunned, but soon he also smiled.
At least Lan Yan wouldn't want his master to become a concubine, otherwise he wouldn't stand on the side of the royal family.
Jun Huolan said to Mo Yunzhu: "You go back first, I will talk to Lan Yan."
Mo Yunzhu nodded, then left with Chang Teng.
When she got home, her father Mo Tiancheng was already waiting for her.
"Yun Zhu, the emperor beat the eldest princess." Mo Tiancheng was a little excited.
Mo Yunzhu was stunned and said, "Oh? So, the emperor also admits that the eldest princess is my opponent?"
"Chen Chunsheng's evidence and inferences were flawless. The emperor could not save the princess even if he wanted to. He slapped the princess on the spot and confined her in the princess's mansion."
"Just a slap? Locked up?" Mo Yunzhu rolled her eyes. "Is that all?"
Mo Tiancheng shook his head and said, "Father would definitely not agree. He knelt down on the spot and begged the emperor for justice. Do you know what happened?"
Mo Yunzhu looked at her father and wanted to roll her eyes.
"The four personal guards under the eldest princess were beheaded on the spot by the emperor because one of them was actually the eldest princess's lover. He said that he had seen the eldest princess being bullied by you before, so he arranged for the assassins to kill you in order to vent the eldest princess's anger."
"Hehehe, a scapegoat?"
"Yun Zhu, it's impossible for the emperor to kill the eldest princess, but getting rid of the four personal guards around the eldest princess at once is not a bad idea. The eldest princess will have no teeth from now on." Mo Tiancheng said.
Mo Yunzhu said with a grim expression: "She got off too easy. We were prepared this time. If we hadn't, the consequences would have been disastrous. And now that she's been punished, how could this woman let it go?"
Mo Tiancheng nodded and said, "That is indeed the case, but now the emperor has suppressed the matter, and the Ministry of Justice cannot investigate it any further."
"The emperor didn't say anything about the assassins?" Mo Yunzhu asked.
"No, but when I left the palace, I saw Eunuch Fan leading people out of the East Palace Gate. Eunuch Fan is the chief eunuch of the palace, so his leaving the palace must be for an important matter, so I asked people to follow him."
Mo Yunzhu immediately gave her father a thumbs up, thinking that age always brings wisdom.
"Dad, I want to meet the King of Deqing, but there are too many spies around now."
Mo Yunzhu really wanted to know why Prince Deqing hired Zhuo Yu to kill the eldest princess. The Queen Mother was killed by the Emperor, so Prince Deqing should kill the Emperor to take revenge.
So there must be a secret here that Mo Yunzhu doesn't know.
It is also somewhat strange that the Emperor killed the Empress Dowager but doted on his half-sister, the Princess.
After all, this emperor doesn't even care about his own son, so how could he care about his half-sister?
Mo Tiancheng frowned and said, "The Deqing Palace is also under surveillance, but I don't know if it's the emperor or someone else. Let me think of a solution."
Mo Yunzhu was a little puzzled. Wasn't this Prince Deqing the Prince Xiansan? Why were there so many people watching him?
However, thinking of what he had said to her before, Mo Yunzhu felt that he did not want to be Prince Xiansan, but he was very filial to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother asked him to be Prince Xiansan, so he remained unknown.
But now the Queen Mother is gone, and she was killed by the Emperor. Prince Deqing must hate the Emperor to the core.
If his younger sister, the eldest princess, is still on the same side as the emperor, Prince Deqing might want to kill his sister for this reason.
In the next few days, Mo Yunzhu did not go out. She went to the backyard to get in touch with the secret guards and help them get rid of the remaining poison.
However, there seemed to be a very different atmosphere in the entire imperial city, making everyone panic.
Zhuo Yu's Wanyao Pavilion welcomed a guest.
It was Jing Ji who came to greet the guests, while Zhuo Yu stayed in the inner room and did not come out.
The customer was a man wearing a victorian hat. He directly took out a piece of paper and a stack of banknotes.
"Kill Mo Yunzhu, and you will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver."
Jing Ji was startled when he saw the note, and then asked, "Sir, is the Mo Yunzhu mentioned here the eldest daughter of General Mo?"
Zhuo Yu was stunned when he heard Jing Ji's words.
"Yeah." The man nodded.
Jing Ji thought for a moment and said, "Why kill her? She is just a woman."
"Answer it or not?" The man did not explain.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask the master." After saying this, Jing Ji walked inside with the note.
The guest seemed a little nervous and looked around. Zhuo Yu was staring at him. He felt that this guy was not his employer but his subordinate.
Jing Ji came out quickly and shook his head, saying, "The master said he would not accept it. Mo Yunzhu is the daughter of General Mo and belongs to the family of an imperial official. If she is assassinated, it will be troublesome in the future."
"Will you still take care of the follow-up troubles?" The customer seemed a little dissatisfied. "How about this, add another 50,000 taels."
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels?" Jing Ji frowned again.
At this time, Zhuo Yu came out wearing a veiled hat, and Jing Ji immediately stepped back and said, "Master."
Zhuo Yu hummed, looked at the guest and said in a deep voice: "I can accept it, but I want to know who your master is and why he wants to kill Mo Yunzhu?"
The guest was stunned and seemed to be struggling a little. "It's inconvenient to talk about this. We can pay a deposit of 50,000 taels first. In fact, you don't need to know about this."
"Oh! I have my own rules. Since you don't want to talk about it, I can't take this business. Please get out of here." Zhuo Yu said and walked back.
The guest stared at Zhuo Yu's back, hesitant to speak, and then said: "I will go back and ask the master and give me an answer."
He said goodbye and left, but he didn't know that the guard An Tu was following him quietly.
