Chapter 90 A Crossroads

Prince Deqing was a little surprised when he saw Mo Yunzhu's pretty face, which was cold and sarcastic.

This little girl was quite different from what he had imagined and heard.

"If it was the emperor who did it, can you still take revenge?" Prince Deqing asked after thinking for a while.

"Of course I can't do it now, but as long as I am sure, I will take revenge sooner or later. And the emperor didn't do it himself, so who did it? I will kill the murderer first, at least let the queen mother go with peace of mind."

"Do you know who did it?" Prince Deqing's old eyes immediately flashed with a gleam.

"Does the prince know?" Mo Yunzhu asked back.

"To be honest, I have examined the Queen Mother's body. Her neck was broken. It must have been done by a master. The Emperor has many masters around him. It could have been anyone."

Mo Yunzhu suddenly laughed.

"My Lord, it seems that you believe me."

Prince Deqing was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly, "Yes, I believe you because your affection for the Queen Mother is genuine."

After three consecutive nights of vigil, Prince Deqing knew that Mo Yunzhu and his mother really had a good relationship.

Perhaps the Queen Mother wanted to make up for her debt to Jun Fengxi. Her own daughter hated her, so she was especially nice to Mo Yunzhu.

But the matter between the Queen Mother and Feng Xi was really hard to explain. Neither he, the son nor his brother could reconcile the relationship between mother and daughter.

Thinking of this, Prince Deqing felt very sad and sighed deeply.

But he was certain of one thing, his mother's love for him was the deepest. She wanted herself to be rich and glorious, live a life without worries, and be a leisurely prince.

But what she didn't know was that he could be a leisurely prince, but there were people who didn't want him to be a leisurely prince. He endured it and didn't want his mother to worry, but his mother was killed.

Is this the price of forbearance?

"In fact, I also examined the Queen Mother's body. I saw that the corpse spots were caused by a master who had something on his right index finger. I would like to ask you, Your Majesty, do you know who around the Emperor has this problem with his hand?"

"Eunuch Yan, Eunuch Yan has a chicken eye on his finger." Prince Deqing was secretly surprised. He did not expect Mo Yunzhu to be so careful. It took him a long time to find it.

"It seems to be the same as I thought. I found it strange that Eunuch Yan suddenly appeared beside the emperor these days." Mo Yunzhu narrowed her eyes. "Does your Highness know where Eunuch Yan lives?"

"I just learned that Eunuch Yan is very low-key in Chongshan Gate. He has a wife and daughter at home. When the emperor doesn't need him, he basically stays in that area and won't go too far."

"The prince wants to take action against him?"

Prince Deqing shook his head and said, "If something happens to Eunuch Yan, the emperor will think of me first, so I can't do anything for the time being."

"So what is the prince planning secretly now?" Mo Yunzhu wanted to know what he wanted the Ministry of War's armory blueprints for, and why he wanted to hire a killer to kill his sister. Shouldn't he be killing Eunuch Yan?

Prince Deqing was stunned, then shook his head and said, "What I have to do now is to grieve. Yunzhu, please don't act rashly. If anything happens to you, my mother will die with regrets."

"Your Highness, to tell you the truth, I want to kill Eunuch Yan." Mo Yunzhu narrowed her eyes.

"What? Don't mess around. Eunuch Yan is a rare master. If you want to kill him, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg. If the emperor finds out, do you know the consequences?"

Prince Deqing was so frightened that he jumped up and strongly objected.

"I can't let the Queen Mother go like this. I can't touch the Emperor for now, and I have to make Eunuch Yan pay the price!" Mo Yunzhu narrowed her eyes, "Prince, don't worry, I will be very careful, and even if the Emperor knows, he won't dare to make it public."

"No, Yunzhu, please don't do anything rash." Prince Deqing was anxious. "In fact, the emperor is not the only one who harmed my mother."

"What do you mean?" Mo Yunzhu knew he was going to talk about Jun Fengxi.

"Alas, my mother's health has suddenly deteriorated. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have angered the emperor and brought about her own death."

"I know that the Queen Mother's health deteriorated because of poisoning. To be more precise, she was poisoned by a snake, right?" Mo Yunzhu said immediately.

"You know? Doctor Ji said that?"

"Well, Doctor Ji is not sure, but the Queen Mother did fall ill suddenly, which is not normal. Does the prince know who attacked the Queen Mother?"

"Maybe you won't believe it if I tell you."

"Your Highness, we all love the Queen Mother. I believe in you. If you can't do anything, let me do it." Mo Yunzhu immediately expressed her attitude.

"This matter is rather complicated and dangerous. I cannot tell you for now. I will tell you after I have investigated it thoroughly. Don't act rashly now, understand?"

Mo Yunzhu knew that she would not be able to find out the truth tonight, but she was already satisfied knowing that it was Eunuch Yan who committed the murder.

As for the eldest princess, she took her time to clean up. After all, it was not that easy to find the snake master.

Soon, Mo Yunzhu said goodbye and left. Prince Deqing repeatedly told Mo Yunzhu not to be impulsive. As a son, he would not let go of the Queen Mother's revenge.

This is also the most affirming words that Prince Deqing gave to Mo Yunzhu.

Mo Yunzhu and Chang Teng returned to the general's mansion. Chang Teng couldn't help but ask, "Miss, do you really want to kill Eunuch Yan?"

Mo Yunzhu grinned and said with an extremely sinister smile: "Of course, if I don't kill him, I won't be able to sleep for a whole day."

Chang Teng was a little worried, but didn't say much. He thought that although the eldest lady was quite powerful, she was definitely no match for Eunuch Yan. Should he tell the general?

Three days later at night, Mo Yunzhu, fully armed, sneaked out of the general's mansion when the moon was at its highest point in the sky.

Chongshan Gate is an hour's journey from the General's Mansion, but it can be reached by water via the river behind the General's Mansion, and Mo Yunzhu has already tied a small boat to the lakeside.

The moonlight was dim, and Mo Yunzhu rowed her boat alone towards Chongshan Gate.

At the first watch of the night, she had already arrived at Eunuch Yan's residence, with the words "Yan Mansion" written on the outside.

Within three days, she surveyed the terrain many times, bribed the servants to get the map of Yan Mansion, and planned several plans, all of which were aimed at killing Eunuch Yan.

The whole night was silent and quiet, and Mo Yunzhu sneaked into the Yan mansion like a ghost.

The Yan Mansion was not big. After all, they wanted to keep a low profile, so it looked like a wealthy family with two courtyards. One side was occupied by the Yan family, and the other side was occupied by servants.

There are a few guards, but they have gone back to rest early at this time. After all, nothing dangerous has happened in this place for more than 20 years.

Eunuch Yan and his wife's room is on the east side, and on the west side, across the courtyard, are their underage children.

Mo Yunzhu quietly approached the room of Eunuch Yan's children, heard the sleeping breathing inside, but did nothing.

Instead, she went to Grandpa Yan's house opposite and saw two big trees on both sides of the window. She squinted her eyes, her heart filled with joy, and quickly took out a bundle of iron wire she was carrying, and pulled a straight horizontal wire at a height of one person between the two big trees.
