Chapter 427: Face Thicker Than City Wall

Cheng Linhan's face suddenly turned pale.

"What should I do? Aren't you in danger?"

Mo Yunzhu's expression also turned cold.

"Go to the palace first. He trusts you very much and will probably tell you. But as long as the former emperor is not well, he will not kill me."

Cheng Linhan frowned slightly and said, "The prince will be leaving soon. Should we tell him about this?"

Mo Yunzhu thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "The Qingyun Royal Family is also in a mess, he can't stay here forever, don't tell him, let him go back and deal with things over there with peace of mind.

As for me, I'm not that bad, and with you guys by my side, I don't believe I can't beat the two old guys."

Mo Yunzhu's big eyes were filled with sinisterness and coldness.

After Cheng Linhan considered it for a while, he immediately went into the palace.

Mo Yunzhu went to see Zhuo Yu again in the afternoon, and Zhuo Yu had already woken up.

Zhuo Hongli soon came to see him, and Mo Yunzhu walked away with interest.

Zhuo Yu immediately showed a sad expression when he looked at his adoptive father Zhuo Hongli.

"Godfather, Uncle Zhao..." His eyes turned red as he spoke.

Zhuo Hongli clenched his fist and then released it.

"Yu'er, don't be sad. We will definitely avenge Uncle Zhao. You need to take good care of your injuries and get well soon. Your adoptive father doesn't have many people around him to help you."

Zhuo Yu nodded and said, "I understand, godfather, but will Eunuch Song know about this?"

Zhuo Hongli sneered and said, "So what if you know? Did so many of us die in vain?"

"But, godfather, he, he is so powerful, and the emperor and the retired emperor, will they do anything to us..."

Zhuo Hongli's lips curled up into a cruel smile.

"Song Gou dare not tell these things to the emperor and the emperor. He can't afford to lose face. This is a personal grudge between him and me."

Zhuo Yu looked at his gloomy face and still showed a worried expression.

"Godfather, did you really have a good relationship with them before? How did it become like this now?"

Zhuo Hongli's eyes darkened and he said, "It was indeed good before, but as time goes by, people's hearts will change, not to mention that some people may have greater ambitions.

Yu'er, don't worry. Even though Song Gou is powerful, he doesn't dare to quarrel with me openly. At least he won't let the emperor know that we are not in harmony. "

Zhuo Yu immediately said, "Father, this is Chen State after all. Should we move some of our things first, just in case?"

Zhuo Hongli was stunned for a moment, then his old eyes narrowed.

"Do you understand the previous accounts?"

Zhuo Yu nodded and said, "Except for Qingyun's, we have already calculated the others last month. We haven't made much money in Chen State in the past six months. Many people from the royal family come to our Wanyao Pavilion to buy medicinal materials, but they all want to take advantage."

"Huh, what a selfish bunch." Zhuo Hongli did initially agree with the royal family that they would be given preferential treatment, but he didn't expect that these people had already developed a habit and their appetites were growing.

If these people come again, we can tell them that the herbs are out of stock, or tell them that the herbs are rare now and they need to pay a deposit if they want them."

Zhuo Yu's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "That's a good idea, but there are a few stronger ones."

"Force? We in Wanyao Pavilion are still polite to them. If we really fall out, we can also use force. I don't believe that the new emperor will not tell the Grand Emperor about this. As long as the Grand Emperor knows, I will file a complaint and maybe I can get back a lot of the losses."

Zhuo Yu immediately said, "Godfather, will everything be alright? We don't have many people."

"No, I will still go to the palace to see the Grand Emperor and the Emperor today. Now I think I should get closer to the new Emperor.

By the way, that eunuch Liu is Song Gou’s confidant, we have to find a way to get rid of him.”

Zhuo Hongli suddenly thought of this. Song Gou was very ambitious. Eunuch Liu was the chief eunuch of the imperial palace. Once he was eliminated, Song Gou would not be able to get what he wanted even if he was anxious.

"It's not easy to do it in the palace, not to mention that Eunuch Liu is quite powerful." Zhuo Yu immediately said anxiously, "I'm in this situation now."

Zhuo Hongli suddenly looked outside.

"Isn't Yun Zhu often in and out of the palace now? Maybe she can help us." Zhuo Hongli's mouth curled up with a hint of coldness.

Zhuo Yu immediately said anxiously: "Father, you, you won't let Yun Zhu kill someone, right? Then can she still leave the palace?"

"You are stupid. You would not let her kill someone openly. But she is a doctor. She can poison Eunuch Liu without anyone knowing."

"Ah! This..." Zhuo Yu thought, can't you go to the palace too, why don't you poison it yourself?

"If I go, Song Gou will be on guard against me and will definitely not give me the chance to take action against Eunuch Liu." Zhuo Hongli seemed to see what Zhuo Yu was thinking.

"But this is too dangerous. Once Eunuch Liu dies, they will definitely investigate. Wouldn't it be possible to trace the cause to Yun Zhu? It would be even more suspicious if she was a doctor." Zhuo Yu immediately shook his head.

"As long as we do it secretly, we won't be discovered." Zhuo Hongli said lightly, "Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go talk to Yun Zhu."

After saying that, he just left.

"Godfather!" Zhuo Yu called from behind, but Zhuo Hongli did not turn back.

Zhuo Yu clenched his fists. This old man actually wanted to use Mo Yunzhu to kill someone, to kill Eunuch Liu. Although it was a good thing for them, it was too dangerous to let Mo Yunzhu do it!

Mo Yunzhu was talking to the servants in the yard. When she saw Zhuo Hongli coming over and waving at her, she immediately went to the pavilion on his side.

"Uncle Zhuo, please accept my condolences for Uncle Zhao's matter and take care of yourself. I just asked the kitchen to stew some tonic for you. You should drink more."

Mo Yunzhu looked concerned and distressed.

Zhuo Hongli's heart suddenly warmed up, and he nodded and said, "Yunzhu, thank you for your hard work. I'm fine, but I want to discuss something with you." As he said this, he showed a bitter expression.

"Uncle Zhuo, you are so kind to me. I will definitely help you with anything I can do."

Zhuo Hongli nodded, and his previous suspicion of Mo Yunzhu was lessened.

"Yunzhu, let me tell you about the relationship between me, Eunuch Song, and the retired emperor." Zhuo Hong said after thinking for a while.

Mo Yunzhu wondered what was going on. Was he trying to tell her that he was the one who killed her parents?

“In fact, back then, Song Gou and the Emperor found me and asked me to help them with some things, such as medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs, but I didn’t know that they wanted these in order to seize that position.

By the time I realized it, it was too late. I had already been dragged onto the pirate ship."

Having said this he sighed deeply and looked very guilty.

Mo Yunzhu was stunned. This shameless old man must have a face thicker than a city wall. He could even tell such a lie so easily.

Compared to him, I can't even catch up with him.
