Chapter 122 The Person the Emperor Wants

Zhuo Yu sat in front of the window, tapping the table with his fingers.

"Master, why does someone want to kill Miss Mo?" Jing Ji was also very curious.

Zhuo Yu was also surprised. After all, he was the only one who suspected that Mo Yunzhu was a female thief before. But if she was not a female thief, Mo Yunzhu would just be a lady from a wealthy family.

At most, she was just a poor woman whose engagement was broken off by the Crown Prince and who was then betrothed to Prince Lan.

Although she has a magnanimous personality and talent, is it enough to make someone pay $150,000 to assassinate her?

This made Zhuo Yu feel that it was too weird.

But if Mo Yunzhu is really the female thief and someone knows about her, then it is normal to kill her.

For example, if they knew that Mo Yunzhu was responsible for Eunuch Yan's two legs and the previous theft by the five-member gang, they would definitely try to kill her.

"You'll know when An Tu comes back." Zhuo Yu massaged his head. His mind was a little confused, but for some reason, he thought Mo Yunzhu was a female thief again.

"Master, will you really take this business?" asked Jing Ji.

Zhuo Yu shook his head and said, "No, I think Miss Mo is a nice person, not to mention she is Ji Xingyun's friend. We also have the Qian Gong grass business, so we can't take this business. But I'm curious about who wants to kill her. Go find Master Ji."

Jing Ji took the order and left.

And Mo Yunzhu finally met Prince Deqing under the arrangement of her father.

Today, Prince Deqing brought his princess to Baoguo Temple to burn incense. Mo Yunzhu followed them, going up the back mountain to meet them in the meditation room.

"Your Highness, it's not easy to see you." Mo Yunzhu was a woman dressed as a man. "Thank you for your reminder before, otherwise the Mo family would be in trouble."

Prince Deqing nodded and said, "The princess has someone close to her. She hates you to the core, so she arranged this assassination."

"Your Highness, what I want to ask is, are these assassins the emperor's men?"

Prince Deqing was stunned for a moment and then shook his head and said, "The thirty secret guards of the eldest princess were awarded to her by my father. They are not the emperor's people, but the emperor knows about them."

Mo Yunzhu nodded and said, "That's good. Now that her assassins are gone, I wonder how she can kill me again."

Prince Deqing smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect you to be so capable that you actually brought this matter to the emperor."

"But the emperor did not kill the eldest princess. He only punished her by confining her to her house and killed a few scapegoats."

"The Emperor cannot possibly kill the Princess."

"Why? The Emperor even dared to kill the Empress Dowager!" Mo Yunzhu's eyes were filled with sharp cold light. The death of the Empress Dowager was the biggest pain in her heart right now.

Prince Deqing's face also darkened, and he said, "Because the eldest princess has someone the emperor needs."

Mo Yunzhu hadn't thought of this, and immediately asked, "Who? The princess's people? Does the emperor need them?"

"Well, a powerful snake master." Prince Deqing said lightly.

Mo Yunzhu's face suddenly changed. She immediately thought of the Queen Mother who had been bitten by a snake before, and of Qin Gu who had died suddenly after the Queen Mother died beside the Princess.

"Master Gu? Who is it?" Mo Yunzhu clenched his fists.

Prince Deqing lowered his eyes and said after a while, "The younger brother of the Prince Consort."

Mo Yunzhu's eyes almost popped out.

After Princess Jun Fengxi failed to marry Mo Tiancheng, she directly sought a prince consort. At that time, there was a lively martial arts competition to find a prince consort.

In the end, a man from the underworld won the first place and became the prince consort.

The prince consort's name was Qi Lin, he was also good-looking, and after entering the princess's mansion, he had a wonderful story with the eldest princess.

A few years later, the prince consort suddenly fell seriously ill and died. After that, the princess never took another prince consort.

But everyone knows that the eldest princess has many guests, and many of the guards in the princess's mansion are handsome.

Mo Yunzhu didn't know that her husband had a younger brother.

"This man's name is Qi Hong. He came to look for his brother, but his brother had already died. The princess saw that he was handsome and kept him.

Qi Hong must have fallen in love with the eldest princess, who secretly gave birth to a daughter for him. No one outside knew about this. After all, there was no prince consort, but a princess. This was a royal scandal.

The little princess is raised in a villa outside, Qi Hong also lives in the villa, the princess will visit them, and Qi Hong will also secretly return to the princess's mansion. "

Mo Yunzhu's three views were shattered. So, this Qi Hong was the eldest princess's lover, and they had a child.

"Well, Your Majesty, do you hate the eldest princess very much?" Mo Yunzhu asked softly, looking at Prince Deqing's face which was as cold as a knife.

Prince Deqing looked up at her, then nodded slowly.

"That's right, she was a slave to my mother, and she is also a slave to me!" Prince Deqing's eyes were cold.

"What? The prince has also been poisoned?" Mo Yunzhu was shocked.

"Yes, but I was lucky enough to find some fragrant branches and get rid of the insect. If she hadn't cast a spell on me, I wouldn't have known that Qi Hong was a snake master."

"Why would the princess be so servile to the prince? You are her biological brother."

"Haha, is that so? She doesn't need a useless brother like me. What she wants is a brother like the emperor." Prince Deqing laughed at himself.

Mo Yunzhu seemed to understand something all of a sudden.

The royal family is indeed ruthless.

"Does your Highness know who else has been bitten?"

"It's not easy to cultivate a snake. No matter how powerful Qi Hong is, he can't have many of them. But I know the princess's ambition. She definitely wants to trap the emperor, but she can't find a chance. After all, the emperor has to have someone try everything before he eats."

"Then why would she use it on you?"

Prince Deqing was silent for a while and said, "Because she knows a secret of mine. If she controls me, then the secret will become hers."

Mo Yunzhu was stunned. She really wanted to know what the secret was, but in the end she didn't ask. After all, it was a secret.

But she estimated that it was either money or power, and these two things were definitely what the eldest princess wanted most.

But did the Prince of Deqing really have one? He was too low-key, so low-key that no one would pay attention to him. This might be his biggest disguise. If he wanted revenge and fight for the throne, he must have made a lot of preparations.

Mo Yunzhu did not force an answer.

"Does the emperor also know Qi Hong? Does he still want to recruit Qi Hong?" Mo Yunzhu asked.

"Yes, the emperor and the eldest princess have always had a good relationship. After all, they are siblings on the surface. However, the emperor only recently found out about Qi Hong. The eldest princess was secretly recruited into the palace twice because the emperor was keeping an eye on Qi Hong."

"But the Gu is a banned item. How could the Emperor want to use it?"

"I guess he wants to use it on you."

Mo Yunzhu was stunned, and then her face turned cold.

Was he trying to make her willingly become the emperor's concubine without anyone noticing? This old pervert had a nice idea.

Afterwards, the two chatted for more than an hour, and then Mo Yunzhu left Baoguo Temple.

But she remembered the name Qi Hong very well, so she found another enemy who avenged the Queen Mother.

Eunuch Yan murdered the Queen Mother, and Qi Hong caused her to become insane. Both of them deserved to die.

Of course, the one who deserves the most damnation is the emperor, because it was he who gave the order to Eunuch Yan.
