Chapter 420: Uncle Zhuo's Suspicion
In the afternoon, Zhuo Hongli came back, his old face was so dark that it was unsightly.
He didn't expect Mo Yunzhu to come to Wanyao Pavilion, so when he first saw Mo Yunzhu's smiling face, his sullen face was still there.
"Uncle Zhuo, are you okay? Why do you look so bad?" Mo Yunzhu immediately looked concerned about him.
"Godfather, are you okay?" Zhuo Yu asked hurriedly.
Zhuo Hongli then relaxed his expression and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing serious, you don't have to worry. By the way, Yu'er, a group of people will come in through the west gate tonight, you go and meet them, and the operation must be kept secret."
Zhuo Yu nodded immediately, as if he was used to this kind of thing, and said, "Yes, godfather, take him to the old place?"
Zhuo Hong shook his head and said, "Bring them directly to Wanyao Pavilion, clean up the attic at the back, and let them stay there first. I will need them later."
Zhuo Yu nodded, then went out to tell the servants to clean the attic.
Zhuo Hongli sat down opposite Mo Yunzhu. Cheng Linhan stood farther away this time, after all, Zhuo Hongli didn't like him.
"Yunzhu, how is the health of the emperor?" Zhuo Hongli asked calmly after taking a sip of tea, but when he looked at Mo Yunzhu, his eyes were more inquiring and cautious.
Mo Yunzhu knew that even though the old guy had quarreled with Song Gou and had fallen out with him, when everyone said something, even if he was angry, he would still think about it in his heart.
She didn't know what Zhuo Hongli heard, but he was obviously beginning to doubt her.
"I can't cure the poison of the emperor, but it can relieve the pain for half a month each time. Eunuch Song made me live in the palace and wouldn't let me go out. I had a quarrel with him. Fortunately, the emperor and the emperor allowed me to enter and leave the palace freely."
"Yunzhu, can the pain relief for my pubic bone poison last for several months at a time?" Zhuo Hongli's idea stunned Mo Yunzhu.
"This, this shouldn't work. After all, Uncle Zhuo, your poison doesn't act up all the time. It only occurs once a month and a half or one day. My acupuncture can't relieve the pain." Mo Yunzhu thought about it and shook her head.
Zhuo Hongli didn't really hold out any hope.
"Yunzhu, Eunuch Song said that you did a lot of things in secret to help Jun Huolan get revenge. Can you tell Uncle Zhuo what you did?"
Mo Yunzhu's mind raced, and then she pouted and said, "They are the ones who bullied and humiliated Jun Huolan. I will teach them a lesson, but I won't kill them.
Eunuch Song and the Emperor should have investigated everything very clearly. Cheng Linhan follows me every day. How could I kill someone in front of him?"
As he said this, he looked at Cheng Linhan's position with hatred.
Zhuo Hongli also looked at Cheng Linhan with a cold gaze. After all, Cheng Linhan was Song Gou's trump card, and one he trusted very much.
Thinking of Lao Zhou's death, he had an urge to kill Cheng Linhan.
"You were the one who did all the things that happened to Princess Changxiang, the Seventh Prince, the Fan brothers and sisters, the Second Young Master Qin, Liu Shuren, and Shen Linping?" Zhuo Hongli's eyes turned a little serious.
Mo Yunzhu pursed her lips and said, "What? I didn't do anything to the Seventh Prince and the Fan brothers. They got into trouble on their own. I did do something to the others."
"How did you do it?" Zhuo Hongli mainly asked this question.
"Don't everyone know this? I beat Princess Changxiang openly, and the second young master Qin was causing trouble at the chicken-fighting arena. The other two were also looking for opportunities to give them a hard time. Uncle Zhuo, you don't want me to avenge you, do you?"
Mo Yunzhu looked pitiful.
Zhuo Hongli was thinking in his mind, but he said calmly, "I'm just worried that something bad might happen to you."
"What can happen to me? Don't you, Uncle Zhuo, protect me? And Brother Yu, if you hadn't said you would protect me, I wouldn't have dared to come to the capital of Chen Kingdom."
Mo Yunzhu felt aggrieved and said, "Uncle Zhuo, nothing will happen, right? I didn't do anything else except these things. Did Eunuch Song say something bad about me? He is just jealous of me!"
"Jealous of you?" Zhuo Hongli was a little surprised.
"He didn't want to give the money. I had an argument with him this morning and he was almost mad at me. I said it was natural to pay for medical treatment, and he thought I was too greedy. But in the end, the emperor still gave it.
Uncle Zhuo, does this Eunuch Song think that he is the emperor and no one can resist him? Once we confront him, he looks like he wants to kill me. I am a little afraid to enter the palace."
Zhuo Hongli saw fear in her eyes and knew that she was telling the truth. He despised Song Gou even more in his heart.
This bastard probably targeted Mo Yunzhu because he knew what he thought of Mo Yunzhu.
"Don't be afraid, next time you go to the palace, I will accompany you." Zhuo Hong said immediately.
"Uncle Zhuo, I'm actually very curious about the relationship between you, the former emperor, and Eunuch Song." Mo Yunzhu looked innocent.
Zhuo Hongli's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't tell the truth of that year, otherwise Mo Yunzhu would know that he was the enemy who killed her parents.
Then, he started to lie.
"In fact, I helped them before the emperor ascended the throne. I was a man of the world at that time, and I had a lot of rare medicinal herbs. The emperor was seriously injured, and it was my medicine that saved his life."
When Zhuo Hongli said this, he didn't dare look at Mo Yunzhu.
Mo Yunzhu was disdainful in her heart, thinking that it was not the herbs that saved people, but the poison that killed people!
"After the emperor ascended the throne, he was grateful to me and wanted me to serve as an official in the court, but I was unwilling. The emperor supported me in opening the Wanyao Pavilion. As for Eunuch Song, he and the emperor were close friends. After the emperor ascended the throne, he entered the palace to serve as a eunuch to protect the emperor."
"This Eunuch Song really has deep feelings for the Emperor." Mo Yunzhu immediately looked very moved.
"Song Qian is indeed very loyal to the emperor, and the emperor trusts him very much."
"Then Uncle Zhuo, does the emperor trust you more or Eunuch Song more?" Mo Yunzhu looked worried.
Zhuo Hongli smiled and said, "That's different. Our relationship is different and cannot be generalized."
"But now Eunuch Song is not on good terms with you. Isn't the emperor in a difficult position?" Mo Yunzhu said innocently.
"No, although Eunuch Song and I have conflicts now, we will still restrain ourselves in front of the emperor. We both don't want to hurt the emperor, and we are in agreement on this point."
"Ah, is it possible? Then is it possible that you and Eunuch Song are fighting to the death in private, and the emperor won't know?"
Zhuo Hongli smiled and shook his head, saying, "He and I would not fight like this. There must be some misunderstanding between us. This quarrel has also allowed us to calm down and think about it."
"That's good, otherwise I would feel a little scared to enter the palace." Mo Yunzhu's heart skipped a beat. As expected, if Jun Huolan didn't add fuel to the fire, the two would most likely reconcile.
Suddenly, a man came over to Cheng Linhan. Cheng Linhan said a few words to the man with his head down, and then came over.
"Miss Mo, Eunuch Song asked me to go to the palace immediately. Can you please stay in Wanyao Pavilion and wait for me to come back?" Cheng Linhan looked very serious.
