Chapter 189: Disappointment, You Don’t Trust Me (Part 2)



Under the escort of a team of imperial guards and a pair of shadow guards, Long Moxun finally appeared in the Yu Garden in a grand manner. He saluted the emperor very naturally. His movements were lazy and leisurely, as if he had no idea what was happening here.

In fact, Long Moxun knew everything clearly. Before coming to Yu Garden, he had already sorted out the whole story.

Emperor Nan Shao glanced at him coldly and shook the token in his hand.

Suddenly, with a surge of anger, the token hit Long Moxun straight on the body. Long Moxun stood straight, without any intention of dodging, and let the token hit him, with his eyes slightly lowered the whole time.

However, when his eyes fell upon the familiar token, a shadow appeared in Long Moxun's eyes.

"Xun'er, I called you here today, do you know why?"

The emperor's tone was not good. Hearing this, Long Moxun only raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the emperor with a dark face. He uttered two words with his thin lips, but his attitude was leisurely and arrogant: "I don't know."

The emperor was choked and his face turned even darker. He pointed at Long Moxun with a cold look in his eyes: "Look for yourself, Miss Yun was attacked and killed in Yu Garden, but next to her body, I found your token. Tell me, what is going on?"

At this time, the Emperor of Nan Shao was obviously very angry. The best way for Long Moxun was not to confront him face to face, but Long Moxun was always inflexible. He just lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Father, I don't know either."

"I have always been careful with my words and actions in the palace, and have done nothing wrong. As for this token, if someone wants it, I cannot stop him."

The indifferent attitude made Emperor Nan Shao turn pale instantly. He looked at him coldly, raised his hand, and turned away angrily.

"Your token is on your body, how could it be taken away by someone for no reason? Besides, Miss Yun is just a woman, how could she steal something from you? How did this token end up here?"

After the emperor asked this question, he suddenly felt something was wrong. No wonder, he had always felt that ever since he found out that Long Moxun might be the murderer of Miss Yun, he had been uneasy. He always felt that something was holding back in his heart, which completely affected his normal judgment. Now it seems that the emperor has finally discovered the problem.

Lady Yun, Prince Jing, a concubine and a prince, how could they appear together?

Coupled with the strange palm prints on Miss Yun's body and the inexplicable token, the emperor's face suddenly turned pale. The current situation was really hard to explain.

Why does it feel like... No wonder, no one said anything, just watched the confrontation between the father and son in silence.

If such a thing really happened, that the prince had an affair with the concubine, Emperor Nan Shao thought, he would definitely beat his own son to death himself.

Emperor Nan Shao sighed, and thinking of the concubine in the previous dynasty who had an affair with an official, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

However, the unhappiness in Emperor Nan Shao's heart dissipated a lot in an instant. He remembered that Long Moxun was not interested in women, and Miss Yun was just an average-looking person. There should be no intersection between the two of them.

Long Moxun finally noticed the instant change in Emperor Nan Shao's expression. He looked at his father inexplicably, as if he understood his father's mood at that moment.

He really thought too much and was suspicious.

Long Moxun did not hide his disdain for Nan Shao Huang. His face turned cold and he said calmly, "I have nothing to do with her. As for the token, I think I went to Yan Xi Palace before and it might have been dropped on the way."

These words dispelled the emperor's doubts, but also made Emperor Nan Shao a little embarrassed. His secrets were exposed, and he couldn't get angry at this moment, otherwise, it would be considered as tacit approval. Emperor Nan Shao sighed, after all, he had no way to do anything about his son.

"Where were you two hours ago? Look for yourself. Your token was found on the body of a corpse, and on the body of the corpse was your Xuanming Palm Seal."

Long Moxun's calm eyebrows twitched, and a hint of sneer appeared in his deep eyes. It turned out that it was because of the Xuanming Palm.

He glanced coldly at Emperor Nan Shao and asked indifferently, "Just because there is the Mysterious Nether Palm Seal, does that mean it was done by your son?"

Everyone in the court knows that he has been practicing the Xuanming Palm since he was a child. This is because the Xuanming Palm is used to suppress the poison in his body. So those people can frame him by using the Xuanming Palm. Could it be that Emperor Nan Shao doesn't know this?

He actually began to doubt himself.

Ridiculous! Long Moxun looked at Emperor Nan Shao coldly. Originally, he had some expectations for Emperor Nan Shao, but now, it was all gone. He didn't even have the basic trust in him. With such a father, he couldn't calmly respect and understand him.

It was just like back then, he didn't trust his mother, which led to her tragic death. Now, twenty years have passed, and his suspicion has become more and more serious as he gets older.

Long Moxun's eyes were filled with disappointment. He asked this question indifferently and said no more. He even stopped looking at Emperor Nan Shao.

Emperor Nan Shao felt lost and stared at Long Mo Xun coldly. The disappointment in his eyes made Emperor Nan Shao feel particularly distressed.

Did he really blame him wrongly?

But how to explain this token, and how to explain the Xuanming Palm? Who can get Long Moxun's token easily, and in the entire palace, only Long Moxun knows how to use the Xuanming Palm.

He also wanted to trust him, but what was the truth?

Emperor Nan Shao looked at Long Moxun with a sad face, but Long Moxun turned a deaf ear to him and only felt that it was somewhat ironic. He took the token that recorded his strange behavior and played with it for a while.

Suddenly, a figure walked out from the side door. The figure flashed by, and the blue dress flashed before Long Moxun's eyes, leaving only a little fragrance, and then she knelt in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I found a footprint at the place where I found Master Yun's body. It could be left by the murderer. I request that you compare the footprint."

When Long Moxun heard the voice, his depressed mood was relieved a little. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Luo Xuening, and a smile actually appeared in his eyes.

It turned out that she was in charge of investigating the case, so he felt relieved.

At least, he trusted Luo Xue Ning. If there was anyone in the palace who had the least motive to harm him, it must be Luo Xue Ning. Only she could remain calm and not be driven by interests. Luo Xue Ning was actually more transparent than most people.

However, Long Moxun took this trust to heart. He could hear the emperor's anxious voice in his ears: "Go check the footprints quickly and find out the truth about the murder of Miss Yun immediately."

The emperor felt a little guilty towards Long Moxun. At this moment, he couldn't wait to find the murderer and clear Long Moxun's name.

Luo Xuening took the order and turned around, she saw Long Moxun's gaze on her, his eyes were deep and meaningful.

Luo Xue Ning turned her face away in embarrassment, her face turning red unconsciously.
