Chapter 266 Where is my seventh brother?
Just when Mo Jiuye was anxiously trying to urge the Fourth Princess to speak out, the Fourth Princess showed a hint of reluctance and confusion in her eyes, and actually took the initiative to speak.
"What I want to talk about is the whereabouts of Mo Yuance, the seventh master of the Mo family."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both looked surprised.
They thought it might be related to the Mohist men. They guessed it was the eldest and second brothers, but they never expected it to be the seventh brother.
No matter what, the whereabouts of his brothers are equally important to Mo Jiuye.
"Fourth Princess, where is my seventh brother?"
Thinking of Mo Yuance, the Fourth Princess' heart bleeds.
When she was fourteen years old, Mo Yuance was the commander of the imperial guards in the palace. She met him once by chance and was attracted by his strong and handsome appearance.
The fourth princess knew that she would have to marry a foreign princess in the future, so she never dared to have any hope for Mo Yuance.
Unexpectedly, by chance, she met Mo Yuance again.
The reason was that the parrot she had raised for many years was suddenly frightened and flew away. She and the servants in the palace chased it out, but the parrot flew too high and they could only see its silhouette but couldn't catch it at all.
At this moment, a strong figure jumped high like lightning and easily caught the flying parrot.
Mo Yuance returned the parrot to her without changing his expression, then clasped his hands and left.
The Fourth Princess had always had a very good impression of Mo Yuance, and she could not forget him even more after the parrot incident.
She also secretly mentioned this matter to her mother, but her mother thought that the Mo family was part of the Third Prince's party because Mo Jiuye was Nan Qi's study partner, so she told her to give up the idea.
Moreover, as the legitimate princess of Dashun, she was born to be married to a foreign prince. Even if her mother agreed, her father would not allow it.
From then on, she could only keep Mo Yuance in her heart and dared not have any improper thoughts about him anymore.
Later, when Mo Yuance got married, she cried for several days and lost a lot of weight.
Later, when she heard the news that Mo Yuance had died in battle, her heart was buried in the earth along with Mo Yuance.
She went to southern Xinjiang to marry a princess for the sake of Dashun Jiangshan. She thought her life would pass by in a muddle, but unexpectedly, she met the living Mo Yuance in southern Xinjiang.
Thinking of the miserable state she had seen when she first met Mo Yuance, she felt heartbroken beyond words.
She had always kept her feelings for Mo Yuance in her heart, and even the two most trusted maids around her were unaware of it.
Now that she was going to tell Mo Jiuye the truth about Mo Yuance's whereabouts, she didn't intend to say these things.
"Not long after I arrived in Southern Xinjiang, a Gu Master came to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Someone beside him looked very much like the Seventh Master of the Mo Clan.
The Crown Prince was quite kind to me at the time, so I asked him to help me find out the man's identity. The Gu Master knew that the Crown Prince and the Mo Clan were irreconcilable, so he didn't hide Mo Yuance's identity. He took off half of his mask, and only then did I completely confirm that this person was Mo Yuance.
Hearing that the Fourth Princess had met the Seventh Brother, Mo Jiuye's nerves instantly tensed up. He anxiously asked, "Princess, do you know the whereabouts of my Seventh Brother?"
The Fourth Princess had just said so much and was obviously breathing heavily.
Lan Er knew that her master still had a lot to say. She was worried that her master would not be able to handle it, so she said, "Princess, let this servant speak for you!"
The Fourth Princess was aware of her situation and there was indeed a lot to explain later. She was worried that she would run out of strength, so she nodded slightly to Lan'er. She wanted to use her last breath to answer some key questions.
After getting her master's consent, Lan Er said to Mo Jiuye, "The princess secretly went to talk to Master Mo Qi, but Master Mo Qi didn't respond at all.
The princess privately asked the prince and found out that the Seventh Master was infected with a kind of Gu called Puppet Gu. After being infected, he had no will of his own and would be controlled by the person who cast the Gu. This was the state the Seventh Master was in at the time.
The princess didn't want to see the brave man who shed blood on the battlefield for Dashun being controlled by the people of Southern Xinjiang, so she asked the prince and the Gu Master to keep the Seventh Master in the prince's mansion so that she could take care of him privately.
After a pause, Lan'er explained, "The princess was eager to save Master Mo Qi, but she forgot how much Southern Xinjiang hates the Mo family.
When the prince saw the princess pleading for mercy, he slapped her several times on the spot and then ordered his men to lock the princess up in her bedroom and not let her out.
Later, the princess discovered that she was pregnant and ordered someone to report to the prince, and only then was she freed. Even so, the princess still did not give up the idea of saving Mr. Mo Qi, but this time she did not dare to use real reasons to persuade the prince.
The princess said that the Mo family supported the third prince of Dashun, Prince Qi, who was the opposite of her brother Prince Heng. She hoped to control a member of the Mo family and use him to threaten the Mo family to defect to Prince Heng in the future.
When the prince saw that the princess's words were reasonable and well-founded, he dispelled his previous doubts.
A few days later, the Gu Master came to visit again and brought up the matter with him.
The Gu Master was very cautious and could not completely trust Princess Dashun's words. If he was to hand over Master Mo Qi to Her Royal Highness, the Princess would have to agree to one condition.
"What conditions?" Mo Jiuye asked.
"The Gu Master said that the princess must take the initiative to accept his Gu worms. If the princess does anything that goes against his wishes, he will urge the Gu worms in her body to torture her.
In order to keep Mr. Mo Qi under her care, the princess agreed to the Gu Master's conditions without hesitation.
Later, the Gu Master sent Mr. Mo Qi to the princess as promised to be her personal bodyguard.
Unexpectedly, this incident aroused the suspicion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince did not believe that the princess' hatred for the Mo family could make her accept someone putting a curse on her without hesitation.
Not only that, but the princess also lost her unborn child due to a poisonous insect. These two things combined made the Crown Prince believe that Master Mo Qi held a higher position in the princess' heart than he did, and he constantly tried to torture her, leading to the princess being sent to the cold palace.
After listening to Lan'er's words, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both had a general understanding of the situation of their seventh brother. At this moment, they did not bother to think carefully about the real purpose of the fourth princess's actions, but were eager to know the whereabouts of Mo Yuance.
If what Yilan'er said is true, and Seventh Brother has become the Fourth Princess's personal bodyguard, he must be nearby.
But when they first arrived here, there was no sign of any guards except two maids.
"Where is my seventh brother now?"
Speaking of the whereabouts of Mr. Mo Qi, Lan'er really didn't know. She only knew that since the princess was sent here, Mr. Mo Qi was taken away by the prince's men.
Lan'er couldn't answer this question and could only look at the fourth princess lying on the bed.
Now that things have come to this, the Fourth Princess has nothing to hide.
"He is in the dungeon of the Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye planned to go to the dungeon to look for his seventh brother. He had just turned around with He Zhiran when he was stopped by the Fourth Princess.
"Wait, you can't go save him."
Mo Jiuye was puzzled: "Why?"
