Chapter 355 Goodbye
"Father-in-law, what I'm about to say may be a little unbelievable, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Seeing his son-in-law's serious look, He Yuanming also became serious.
"What is it?"
"Nan Qi is not the biological son of the Emperor and Concubine Yuan. The real prince is someone else..."
Mo Jiuye quickly told his father-in-law how Nan Qi and Fei Nanyu switched things up, hoping that he could figure out how to deal with it in the future.
Sure enough, for He Yuanming, this was absolutely shocking news.
"It seems that the Dashun Kingdom has had many ups and downs. Even a random person can become a prince."
Mo Jiuye knew that his father-in-law was loyal to Dashun, so he simply told him everything he knew.
"There's one more thing. Nan Heng colluded with the Queen of Southern Xinjiang and is now dead. Prince Rui fled the capital with Consort De and are now living in hiding elsewhere. Therefore, I hope my father-in-law will be aware of who will control the Dashun Empire in the future."
For He Yuanming, the news brought by Mo Jiuye was more shocking than the last.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Mo Jiuye didn't bother to explain in detail, because at this time, someone was knocking on the door outside.
"Master He, I have prepared the clothes."
He Yuanming quickly calmed down, acted as if nothing had happened, and opened the door with his own hands.
He was just about to take the clothes from the butler when he saw the butler, who was full of energy just now, fall to the ground in an instant along with the porcelain bottle in his hand that he had not yet put away.
What followed was that He Yuanming's entire body was pulled backwards by Mo Jiuye.
"Be careful." Mo Jiuye reminded softly.
Before He Yuanming knew what was happening, Mo Jiuye had already caught a bug with his bare hands.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Mo Jiuye did not carry anything like a small porcelain bottle with him, and the insect kept struggling in his hands.
If he didn't want to leave some evidence to incriminate the Ninth Prince for his father-in-law, he might have crushed the poisonous insect to death.
Although He Yuanming had never seen the poisonous insect with his own eyes, he could see from his son-in-law's nervous look that he could guess that the housekeeper's arrival must have been ordered by the Ninth Prince to poison him.
Seeing that his son-in-law was still holding the disgusting insect in his hand, he quickly took a teacup from the table and handed it to Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye took the teacup, put the insect in it, and then closed the lid.
"I didn't expect the Ninth Prince to move so quickly."
Mo Jiuye suspected that since he had just informed Fei Nanyu of the news not long ago, even if he arranged with Nan Qi to resist this matter, it would probably take some time.
Maybe some ministers have already fallen into the trap.
Fortunately, I brought my father-in-law here and he hasn't left yet. Otherwise, there would be no chance for my father-in-law, a weak scholar, to escape from this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Mo Jiuye felt a pang of fear in his heart. If he knew that his father-in-law was poisoned by a Gu, he would not know how to explain to his wife when he returned to the northwest.
"Father-in-law, please keep this insect. It may be useful in the future."
He Yuanming knew that this poisonous insect was a very scary thing. He was worried that a teacup would not be enough to trap it, so he quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wrapped the teacup tightly.
"Thank goodness you were here, so I was able to escape this disaster without any danger."
Mo Jiuye didn't have time to say anything at this moment. He had already arrived at the door and dragged the butler into the house.
"Father-in-law, I'm sure the Ninth Prince's Mansion will soon be in chaos. It's better for you to leave this troubled place as soon as possible." Mo Jiuye reminded sincerely.
He Yuanming nodded: "I will go to the palace and report this matter to the emperor."
Mo Jiuye knew that his father-in-law was a sensible man. When he entered the palace, he would only talk about what happened in the Ninth Prince's Mansion and would not mention the identities of Fei Nanyu and Nan Qi.
As for what he will choose to do in the future, I believe that with his father-in-law's experience, he will definitely find a better opportunity.
Now that the crisis facing his father-in-law was resolved, Mo Jiuye had no plans to stay any longer.
"Father-in-law, I can't stay here for long, so I'll take my leave now."
He Yuanming was a little reluctant to see Mo Jiuye leave when he saw him. "Son-in-law, it's not easy for you to come to the capital. Why don't you go to the Shangshu Mansion and have a seat there, and let your mother-in-law see you."
Mo Jiuye refused and said, "I have something important to attend to. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely bring Ranran and our child to visit you and mother-in-law at your house."
"In that case, I won't keep you here. You must be more careful in your actions. Ranran is still waiting for you to return to the northwest."
In fact, He Yuanming wanted to invite Mo Jiuye to his home for a main purpose.
That is, he wanted to bring some silver and money back to Mo Jiuye. When they left the capital, something happened suddenly, and he and his wife had to find a way to see her off on the spur of the moment, so the silver and money he brought for his daughter was not enough.
When his son-in-law came to Beijing this time, he wanted to give him more silver, but unfortunately, he had a habit of rarely carrying things like silver bills with him when he went out.
As a result, when encountering what happened today, He Yuanming was embarrassed because he had nothing valuable on him that he could give to his son-in-law.
However, He Yuanming did not give up.
"Son-in-law, could you tell me your address in the northwest?"
Mo Jiuye didn't think much about this.
It is understandable that people are concerned about their daughter's place of residence. He had suggested that He Zhiran write a letter home to report his safety, but He Zhiran was worried that his current identity problem would affect his family and did not want to cause unnecessary trouble to his family, so he refrained from writing the letter.
Now that he has met his father-in-law, no one can find any evidence against him based on what he said orally, so Mo Jiuye naturally has to tell him the address clearly.
"Father-in-law, we now live in Xiling Village in Northwest Yuncheng."
He Yuanming repeated the address in his mind several times, memorized it, and then walked out of the house with Mo Jiuye one after another.
He Yuanming was a visitor, so he could naturally walk out of the palace with dignity. But it was different for Mo Jiuye. He had to use his lightness skills to jump over the wall and leave.
Now he has restored his original appearance. In order to avoid being recognized by acquaintances, he went straight to the nearest market as soon as he left the palace and bought a straw hat to wear on his head.
Leaving the city was smooth. Unless something special happened, the guards at the city gate would not question us easily.
Mo Jiuye reunited with his two brothers as quickly as possible.
At this time, Mr. Simeng still showed no signs of waking up. It was inconvenient to travel with such a person, so the brothers decided to settle here temporarily.
With Mo Jiuye around, Fifth Brother can go out to buy ingredients with peace of mind. They always have to have a simple meal in the evening.
Fifth brother had just left. I don’t know if it was because of Mr. Simeng’s special weight or something else, but he woke up more than an hour earlier than expected.
Mo Jiuye was worried about his father-in-law at the moment. He didn't know whether Emperor Shunwu would believe what he said when he brought the poisonous insect into the palace.
At this moment, Sixth Brother's voice came into his mind.
"Ninth brother, come here quickly."
When Mo Jiuye heard his sixth brother calling him, he quickly withdrew his thoughts and went back to guard Mr. Simeng's room.
Mr. Simeng stared at Sixth Brother with wide eyes.
"Are you Mo Jinnian?"
The Sixth Brother snorted coldly: "Huh, you didn't expect that we would meet in this way."
