Mu Xue said angrily: "This bad guy is truly unforgivable!"

The old man nodded: "If you want to stop him, you need to find the loyal ministers who were framed by Gu Xuanchi. They may have evidence that can bring down Gu Xuanchi."

After hearing this, Mu Xue and Gu Moshen decided to go find those loyal ministers immediately.

After some twists and turns, they finally found the descendants of one of the loyal ministers.

The man took out a secret letter and said, "This is the evidence my father left behind. I hope it can be useful to you."

Mu Xue took the secret letter, her heart filled with hope.

However, just as they were about to use evidence to expose Gu Xuanchi's crimes, they discovered that Gu Xuanchi had already taken the initiative and falsely accused them of being rioters.

For a time, they became wanted persons in the whole city.

When they were at their wits' end, Gu Moshen took Mu Xue and hid in a dilapidated temple.

"What should we do? What should we do now?" Mu Xue asked anxiously.

Gu Moshen pondered for a moment and said, "We must find a way to enter the palace and tell the emperor the truth."

  However, the palace is heavily guarded. How can we get in?

Just as they were thinking hard, the system's voice sounded again: "Host, complete one more side quest to get a token to enter the palace."

Mu Xue quickly asked: "What mission?"

"In the cave outside the city, there is a spiritual bead that can restore one's power. If you obtain the spiritual bead, you can complete the mission."

Gu Moshen and Mu Xue set off for the cave without any hesitation.

The cave was eerie and filled with a strange atmosphere.

They walked in cautiously, and suddenly, a huge monster rushed out.

Gu Moshen and Mu Xue fought a desperate battle with the monster.

Finally, they successfully defeated the monster and got the spirit pearl.

The system also fulfilled its promise and gave them tokens to enter the palace.

Mu Xue entered the palace alone with the token and met the emperor.

Mu Xue presented the evidence to the emperor and told him the whole story.

The emperor was furious upon hearing this and immediately ordered the arrest of Gu Xuanchi.

Mu Xue walked out of the palace with joy, thinking that she had finally avenged Gu Moshen. However, the cold voice of the system was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in her heart.

"Host, you are wrong. It is true that Gu Xuanchi wants to rebel, but he is not Gu Moshen's enemy."

Mu Xue's eyes widened and she shouted in disbelief: "How is this possible? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

The system's voice was still emotionless: "This is the rule of the game. Some information needs you to unlock step by step."

Mu Xue was so angry that she was shaking all over: "What should I do now? Except for the emperor, all the relatives related to Gu Moshen are dead. How can I investigate this?"

"Calm down, host. There will always be clues, you just need to look for them more carefully." After the system said this, it stopped talking.

Mu Xue returned to the small courtyard where she and Gu Moshen were temporarily living in a daze. When Gu Moshen saw her expression, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Xue'er, what's wrong? Are things not going well?" Gu Moshen asked with concern.

Mu Xue raised her head, her eyes full of guilt and confusion: "Mo Shen, I... I may have made a mistake. Gu Xuanchi is not the murderer of your relatives."

Gu Moshen was stunned at first, then he held Mu Xue's hand: "Xue'er, this is not your fault, let's look for clues together again."

The two men fell into deep thought, and a depressing atmosphere filled the room.

Suddenly, Gu Moshen seemed to have thought of something: "Xue'er, I remember when I was a child, my father had a secret conversation with a mysterious visitor in the study. His expression was very serious. Perhaps we can look for clues in my father's study."

Mu Xue's eyes lit up: "Then let's go quickly!"

They hurried to the former study room of the Gu Mansion. The study room was now covered with dust and looked particularly desolate.

Mu Xue gently pushed open the door, and a stale smell came in. The two began to search every corner carefully.

"Mo Shen, look at this." Mu Xue took out a yellowed diary from the compartment of a drawer. Gu Mo Shen took the diary and flipped through it quickly. His face became more and more solemn.

"Xue'er, this records the interactions between father and a minister in the court. It seems that they are investigating something in secret." Gu Moshen said.

"Could it be related to the extermination of your family?" Mu Xue asked.

Gu Moshen pondered for a moment: "It is very likely, but the name of this minister is not mentioned in the diary."

Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside.

"Oh no, someone is coming!" Gu Moshen pulled Mu Xue and hid behind the bookshelf.

The door was suddenly pushed open and several men in black walked in.

"Search carefully and don't miss any clues!" ordered one of the men in black.

Mu Xue and Gu Moshen held their breath nervously, fearing that they would be discovered.

The men in black were rummaging through the study and were about to find their hiding place.

Suddenly, a shout came from outside: "Fire!"

The men in black were startled. They stopped what they were doing and quickly left the study.

Gu Moshen and Mu Xue took the opportunity to escape from the study.

"The fire came out of nowhere, as if someone had started it on purpose to help us lure away the men in black." Mu Xue said.

Gu Moshen nodded: "No matter what, let's leave here first."

They had not walked far when a figure flashed out from the darkness.

"Follow me." It was a mysterious masked man.

Gu Moshen and Mu Xue looked at each other and decided to follow the mysterious man.

The mysterious man took them to a remote cabin.

"What you did in the study of the Gu Mansion was too risky." said the mysterious man.

"Who are you? Why are you helping us?" Gu Moshen asked vigilantly.

The mysterious man lifted his veil, revealing a weathered face.

"I was once a good friend of your father, and I know a little about what happened back then."

Mu Xue asked hurriedly: "Then tell us quickly, who harmed the Gu family?"

The mysterious man sighed: "The forces behind this are complicated and intricate, and it is difficult to explain them all in a short time. But there is a key clue, and you can start with an old eunuch in the palace."

Gu Moshen and Mu Xue ventured into the palace again.

In a remote corner of the palace, they found the old eunuch.

The old eunuch kept silent at first, but after Gu Moshen's repeated requests, he finally spoke.

"Alas, what a sin. What happened to the Gu family back then was related to a concubine in the harem." The old eunuch said in a trembling voice.

"Which lady?" Mu Xue asked.

"She was the current emperor's most beloved concubine. But later, for some unknown reason, Concubine Li suddenly fell out of favor and was banished to the cold palace," said the old eunuch.

Gu Moshen frowned: "What grudge does this Concubine Li have against my Gu family?"

The old eunuch shook his head: "I don't know about that. But I heard that Concubine Li's family is very powerful in the court. Maybe the Gu family is blocking their way."

Mu Xue and Gu Moshen expressed their gratitude and left the palace.

"Mo Shen, it seems we have to start the investigation from Concubine Li's family." Mu Xue said.

Gu Moshen's eyes flashed with determination: "No matter what, I must find the real murderer and avenge my family."
