Chapter 169 The poisoner is the adoptive father

Qi Hong sighed deeply and said, "The emperor wants me to cultivate crickets, but I no longer have the ability to do so, and I don't want to do this anymore."

"Do you have another one?" Mo Yunzhu asked. "The Queen Mother had one, and the Princess's servant had one, both of which are dead. You also gave one to Prince Deqing, but that died too. You should have another one, or maybe three?"

Qi Hong raised his eyes, looked deeply at Mo Yunzhu and said, "Who are you? Why do you know so much about Gu?"

"I've heard that you don't need to know who I am. I just want you to tell me the truth and clear up my confusion. Your daughter is so cute, I can't bear to let her die."

There was a hint of amusement and threat in Mo Yunzhu's eyes.

"I don't have a dragon anymore. The other dragon was on my brother's body. My brother is dead, and the dragon naturally disappeared as well." Qi Hong said with a very ugly expression.

"Your brother? The prince consort?" Mo Yunzhu suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "Did you kill the prince consort?"

Qi Hong looked at the unconscious princess and said nothing, which was considered as his tacit agreement.

"You are such a ruthless person. When the emperor knows that you no longer want to raise pigs, will he let you stay with the princess as an adulterer?"

"He always wanted me to raise a pig. Although I refused, he didn't give up. I proposed the conditions for raising a pig, and the emperor said that it was in the process of preparation. I don't know whether it can be prepared, so I am not sure whether I can raise a pig in the future."

"What you mean is that you agree to let the emperor raise pigs." Mo Yunzhu sneered.

"I don't want to die yet, but raising a pig is a very demanding process. It's not that easy. Otherwise, I wouldn't be left with no pigs at all." Qi Hong snorted coldly, "I've told you everything I should and shouldn't say. Can you let us go now?"

"Okay, I don't want to kill you, but you have done so many evil things that God can't stand it."

Mo Yunzhu looked at Mo Si, and Mo Si attacked suddenly, knocking Qi Hong unconscious.

Mo Yunzhu took out silver needles and inserted a few needles into Qi Hong's right hand, causing his right hand and right foot to lose strength and become disabled.

He walked up to the eldest princess again and wanted to kill this vicious woman directly, but in the end he stabbed her waist with several needles, leaving her paralyzed on one side.

Mo Yunzhu did not touch the little princess and asked everyone to leave quickly. She believed that the eldest princess's people would come soon.

On the way back in the carriage, Zhuo Yu didn't say a word, and his handsome face was extremely gloomy.

"Brother Yu, it seems that your adoptive father Zhuo Hongli was involved in the civil strife in Chen State. My mother died from the poison he gave her. I believe Qi Hong would not lie to us about this."

Mo Yunzhu knew Zhuo Yu's current mood. He had been in a trance since he heard his adoptive father's name.

Zhuo Yu even suspected that he was taken away by his adoptive father in the land temple that year. This was a premeditated plan. He knew at all that he was the youngest son of the second prince Chen Tianlu.

The headquarters of Wanyao Pavilion was originally located on the mountain between Chen Kingdom and Fengyu Kingdom. The rebellion of the Third Prince required the support of multiple forces, so Wanyao Pavilion was also one of the forces of the Third Prince.

After the success, the Chen Kingdom no longer cared about the location of the Wanyao Pavilion headquarters, and no one came to disturb the half of Wanlian Mountain that belonged to the Chen Kingdom.

On the contrary, Fengyu Kingdom refused to allow Wanyao Pavilion to collect herbs, which led to my adoptive father poisoning more than 10,000 soldiers.

Now thinking back, it seems like everything is connected.

Zhuo Yu's heart felt as if it was grabbed by a huge hand. It hurt so much that he could hardly breathe. He was speechless and felt as if the sky was falling.

His adoptive father was the only relative he had in all these years. How could he be the enemy who killed his aunt?

It is also possible that he not only poisoned my aunt, but also other people. After all, there was no reason for him to poison only my aunt, so he must have cooperated with the Third Prince.

During the civil unrest of that year, many people who were involved in the elimination of the Second Prince's lineage were poisoned to death.

That is, his adoptive father killed many of his father's people.

Zhuo Yu closed his eyes, unable to calm down for a moment.

Mo Yunzhu did not continue asking, and the carriage drove away quickly. Half an hour after they left, the princess's followers felt something was wrong and sent someone to look for the princess. Finally, they found that the family of three had fainted beside a dry well in the back mountain. They were so scared that they immediately asked someone to carry them back.

Mo Yunzhu and Zhuo Yu separated quickly. Zhuo Yu still didn't say anything, so Mo Yunzhu didn't say anything either. There were some things he still needed to figure out on his own.

Anyway, Mo Yunzhu was happy today because she had avenged the Queen Mother. The eldest princess would be paralyzed on one side of her body and could only lie down. She would even need someone to help her go to the toilet. It would depend on who could continue to be nice to her.

Having one hand and one foot crippled was considered merciful to Qi Hong, but Mo Yunzhu was also doing this for the sake of the innocent little princess.

What happened to these two people afterwards was none of her business. It felt more satisfying than killing them.

But what she didn't expect was that Qi Hong died soon.

The secret guard replied that it was Eunuch Fan who did it secretly.

Mo Yunzhu thought about it and it made sense. Qi Hong was originally a royal scandal. He could be used as a pig, but now he has become disabled. Naturally, he is useless to the emperor. So why keep such a stinky thing?

The emperor sent people to investigate the matter, but of course they couldn't find the person, even though the eldest princess pointed out the matter of the jade bracelet.

The emperor still trusts Mo Yunzhu very much, and he doesn't believe that Mo Yunzhu will sell the jade bracelet, saying that Jun Fengxi has gone crazy.

Last time he wanted to kill Mo Yunzhu because of the bracelet, and this time he wanted to frame Mo Yunzhu. He was extremely disappointed with Jun Fengxi, and from now on he locked her up in the Princess's Mansion and was not allowed to enter or leave.

The information found in the Ministry of Justice said that there seemed to be spies from the Chen State in Baoguo Temple that day. This made the emperor worried. After all, he had always been afraid of the Chen State.

He secretly ordered the Ministry of Justice to search for spies from the State of Chen, and also sent the Minister of War and several generals into the palace to discuss something secretly.

Three days later, at Haiguan Tower, Mo Yunzhu brought Yuan Qing Chang Teng and Jasmine there.

Prince Deqing had already requested two private rooms, so when Mo Yunzhu arrived, she went into one of the rooms and soon went to the next one.

When Prince Deqing saw her come in, he asked her to sit down.

"Your Highness, who is on your list?" Mo Yunzhu has gotten to know the people on the list over the past three days. On the surface, these people seem to be the emperor's men, but it is obviously not that simple.

"The people on this list appear to be loyal to the emperor, and their positions are not very prominent, but in fact they are all the princes' men, and each of them is very patient and capable, and they hold a lot of power in their hands, including the crown prince, the fourth prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince. This is what I have secretly observed over the years. In other words, as long as these people are dealt with, these princes will never be able to make any waves again."
