Chapter 123 Mo Er is Dead
"You mean, Chu Qin is not the son of King Anyang?" Wen Cheng was shocked by old man Mo's words, and even the pain on his body eased a lot.

"Yes, Chu Qin is not the son of King Anyang."

Old man Mo nodded affirmatively, and a trace of madness flashed across his eyes: "When I send you out of the palace safely, I will go to the prince and confess the truth."

Wen Cheng smiled, but his tone was cold: "Uncle Mo, we can't escape the palace like this. If we are caught by Chu Qin, we will die. Why don't we go to King Anyang and tell the truth now, so as to have a chance."

Old man Mo glanced at the heavily guarded palace, knowing that it would be difficult to escape with the injured Wen Cheng secretly.

The sea of ​​flowers around this gazebo is the lilacs and azaleas that the king of Anyang planted himself in memory of his late princess.

Presumably, the prince found out that he had shot back and rescued Wen Cheng. He would definitely send secret guards to seal off the palace, and then search slowly. It won't be long before he finds it here.

"Okay, as you say."

Wen Cheng supported his injured neck with his hands, looked at the sunny sky, and analyzed: "Uncle Mo, it's past noon now, and the banquet must be over. King Anyang must be in the study, why don't we go?" Try your luck in the study?"

"Okay." After old man Mo responded, he supported Wen Cheng and walked on the gravel road.

Relying on their familiarity with the palace, the two easily avoided the guards standing guard.

Along the bushes and grass under the corridor, Wen Cheng and old man Mo approached King Anyang's study a little bit.

Wen Cheng hid in the bushes and looked at the important area of ​​the study not far away. There were two tall and dignified guards outside the door. He turned to look at old man Mo beside him: "Uncle Mo, you haven't fully recovered your internal strength yet, so you can be sure." Solve these two quietly?"

"should be no problem."

Old Man Mo picked up two stones on the ground, shook their weight in his hands, and quickly came to the back of a pillar, holding the two stones and was about to throw them vigorously at the two guards standing guard.

Suddenly, a loud shout sounded from behind: "Stop! Who are you, what are you sneaking into the prince's study?"

Butler Chu, who came back with a brocade box, saw the back of a strange man, and he made a head start.

Old man Mo was startled, turned around in a hurry, and when he saw the face of the person coming, he was overjoyed: "Chu Shang, I'm Mo Yi!"

"Mo... Mo Yi, how could it be you!"

Steward Chu looked at the old Mo Yi in disbelief, first he was happy and then angry: "Well, Mo Yi, you betrayed the prince and assassinated the princess. After 13 years of fleeing the palace, if you dare to come back, I will kill you immediately! "

After Chu Butler finished speaking, he moved his hand directly.

After a few simple moves, he realized that he was not Mo Yi's opponent at all.

After a feint, he withdrew from the battle circle, and shouted to the guards who rushed over after hearing the sound: "You all come together, and I must arrest him!"

"Yes, Steward Chu." The guards responded, holding their long swords and rushing towards Old Man Mo.

"It's so noisy, what a shame." In the study, King Anyang, who heard the movement, came out with a displeased face.

When he saw clearly who the housekeeper wanted to arrest, he looked at old man Mo with a serious expression, his lips trembling slightly: "Mo Yi? You...you are Mo Yi!"

Old man Mo saw that King Anyang was so excited that tears filled his eyes, he knelt down on the ground in an instant, and choked up, "My lord, I am Mo Yi. I didn't betray you and the princess, I followed the princess's order and went to find out the truth.

I don’t want to leave this way. It’s been 13 years since my goodbye. My lord, it’s a mistake. I shouldn’t have concealed your truth. "

Hearing Mo Yi's explanation, King Anyang stared at him sharply: "The truth? What truth? What entrustment did the princess leave behind that made you dare not return to the palace for 13 years?"

Mo looked at the guards on the left and right, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this matter is related to the blood inheritance of the palace, and the subordinates can only tell the lord."

King Anyang frowned, and after a long time, he finally said, "Okay, I'm giving you this chance. If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll kill you right away. Come, follow me into the study."

Mo Yi knelt on the ground and kowtowed again: "My lord, I still have a witness who was injured. Can I ask him to enter the study with me?"

King Anyang nodded: "Yes."

The voice just fell.

Wen Cheng limped, walked out clutching his injured neck, walked tremblingly in front of King Anyang, and knelt down next to Mo Yi: "Cao Min Wen Cheng, please greet the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

When King Anyang saw Wen Cheng covered in scars, a trace of surprise flashed across his majestic and stern black eyes, then he looked at the guards and said sharply, "No one is allowed to reveal a word about what happened today. Otherwise, the three clans will be punished."

"I obey." Steward Chu and the guards immediately bowed and agreed.

"Mo Yi, Wen Cheng, follow the king into the study. Butler Chu, you will guard the door yourself. No one is allowed to come near the door. Anyone who violates the order will be killed!"

"Yes, my lord." Butler Chu held the brocade box and responded respectfully.

At this time, King Anyang saw the brocade box in the hands of Steward Chu, and remembered that he had ordered him to go to Chu Qin to retrieve the congratulatory gift from the Mandala Valley.

King Anyang patted Butler Chu on the shoulder, picked up the brocade box in his hand, and stepped into the study first.

Mo Yi helped Wen Cheng up, and the two entered the room side by side.

Steward Chu looked at the backs of Mo Yi and Wen Cheng, his face changed slightly, and then he closed the door of the study with his hands.

King Anyang was sitting in front of the desk, playing with the eight-foot-long brocade box in his hand, looking at Mo Yi below with fiery eyes, and said indifferently: "Let's talk, what is the order of the princess before she died, and what big secret did you find out?" .”

Mo Yi bowed and saluted, with a hint of nostalgia on his old face, thinking of the eyes of the princess who was dying, he said in a low voice: "Return to the words of the prince. 13 years ago, on the evening of the day when the princess died, she deliberately sent away Princess An Ning and the prince of Chu Qin. He even drove away all the maidservants in front of him.

Only two hidden guards, Mo Er and I, were left in the house.

The princess talked about the accident a year ago. At that time, the six-year-old Princess An Ning and the prince of Chu Qin were competing in the back garden. For some reason, the two had a dispute and fell into the water one after another.

The anxious princess couldn't wait for the water-savvy slaves to come to the rescue, so she stepped into the water to rescue the prince of Chu and Qin who was closest to her, but half of the rescue was done, but the princess gave up and turned to save Princess Anning instead. remember this? "

"Of course I remember." King Anyang paused when he turned the hand of the brocade box, and nodded: "Go on."

Mo Yi said again: "Wangfei said that it was that time when she fell into the water, Wangfei found that there was no blue birthmark like a mountain behind the right ear of Prince Chu Qin.

In addition, since the birth of the eldest son, the princess couldn't get close to him, and then she remembered the blurred picture when she gave birth to the eldest son in Xuancheng, saying that she vaguely heard the midwife say something silly.

It is said that Shizi has a blue mountain-shaped birthmark behind his right ear.

She also said that our son was born with the heavy responsibility of Mount Tai. Because this sentence was not very auspicious, the midwife hurriedly covered her mouth.

When the princess woke up and learned that she had given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, she was overjoyed, so she ignored the matter, so Mo Er and I went to Xuancheng to find the midwife to find out the reason.

Make sure if Chu Qin is her child, and if the child has been swapped out.

Since Mo Er and I are both the secret guards assigned by the prince to the princess, we are mainly responsible for her safety and cannot leave at the same time, so I let Mo Er stay and go to Xuancheng alone to find out the truth. "

"What? There is such a thing?" Anyang Wang stood up abruptly, looking at Mo Yi in disbelief.

"That's right, as early as four years ago, I fulfilled the princess's entrustment and returned to the mansion with a shocking secret, but was chased and killed by Chu Qin. Under his strict guard, I couldn't even get close to the mansion. had to hide out.

This time, with the help of Chu Qin and the crown ceremony, he thought he would be able to come to the prince smoothly and expose Chu Qin's fake son's identity, but was discovered by Chu Qin, and also caused young master Ah Cheng to be injured.

Prince, Chu Qin is not the child of you and the princess.

What the subordinate said is true, if the prince doesn't believe it, he can summon Mo Er. "

After Mo Yi finished speaking swearingly, he lowered his head, waiting for King Anyang to make a decision.

"Mo Er, he died four years ago." Anyang Wang looked at Mo Yi below him uncertainly, not sure whether what he said was true or not.

"Dead? How could Mo Er die?" Mo Yi looked up at King Anyang, the news was too unexpected.
