BXBX NOVEL Chapter 186
However, they didn’t notice that when they walked down the stairs to the secret room, Ye Mu moved her hand slightly and dropped a piece of cloth. The cloth was caught in between the door to the secret room. The cloth would be easily spotted, and it would be easy for her rescuers to see that something was wrong.
On their way down the secret room, they light the oil lamps on the wall with fire. Mo Shiwen placed Ye Mu on the bed of the secret room.
“Heh, I must say that Mo Linyuan has good taste. Although this little girl is still young, she will definitely grow into a beauty that will bring the downfall of a country in the future!”
Mo Die was angry when she heard her Imperial Father’s comment, “I have long been dissatisfied with her face. Imperial Father, move aside, I want to scratch her face until she’s disfigured!”
“Wait!” Mo Shiwen hurriedly stopped her, “Don’t do that yet. If she becomes ugly now, then I won’t even have the urge to do it. But I promise you that you can do whatever you want with her once I’ve gotten bored of her!”
Mo Die resentfully gave her plan.
The martial arts master was blocked from leaving the palace after he knocked Ye Mu unconscious. He planned on leaving the palace to report to his master, but he was blocked by a guard.
Someone had reported that Ye Mu had gone to find Mo Shiwen. But when Mo Linyuan sent someone to check on them, he found out that Mo Shiwen was not in his residence. Ye Mu was not there either.
By some lucky coincidence, a guy was seen sneaking out of Mo Shiwen’s residence. He was caught by Mo Linyuan’s people.
“Confess! Where is Miss Ye Mu?”
Zixu stared at the man coldly. He could tell from just one glance that this man did not work for His Majesty.
Ever since Empress Dowager left the palace four years ago, the emperor had cleaned up all the people working for the Empress Dowager in the palace. Since this person was clearly not working for the Empress Dowager, then he must be a spy sent from the outside!
Sensing that the situation was not good, the man immediately tried to escape. But Zixu’s martial arts were above him, so the intruder was quickly stopped.
“You want to escape? I’m going to bring you to meet His Majesty!”
When he heard that he was going to be brought before the emperor, the man tried to commit suicide by poison. Unfortunately for him, Zixu was able to remove the poison pill from inside his mouth. Then, he tied the intruder up and brought him to Mo Linyuan.
“Where is Ye Mu?”
Mo Linyuan sensed that something had gone wrong. Ye Mu told him that she needed to return to her residence first. So, he waited for her to return to have lunch together. But he waited for a long time and she still hadn’t returned. Later, he learned that she went to Mo Shiwen’s residence on her way back.
Recalling that Mo Shiwen was trying to conspire against him, the murderous intent flooded Mo Linyuan’s heart. He hadn’t even settled his accounts with him yet, but he actually dared to make a move against his people first. Mo Linyuan could feel that something was wrong when the servants reported to him that Mo Shiwen was not at his residence. Fortunately, they were able to capture someone trying to sneak out from Mo Shiwen’s residence.
The man refused to tell them anything. For the emperor to be able to catch him, it seemed that he was wrong before. It was clear that the emperor had gotten wind of their plan and was waiting for this final confirmation.
Fortunately for him, they haven’t found Ye Mu yet. The emperor shouldn’t know much about their plan right now.
At this time, a person entered the palace hall and said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, I have searched the palace and found no trace of the Retired Emperor.”
Mo Linyuan became restless instantly.
He knew that there was a secret passage in the palace that led people outside the palace. Could it be that Mo Shiwen had taken Ye Mu away?
That was impossible. Mo Shiwen was still waiting for him to restore Mo Die’s princess status, so he wouldn’t have left. Could it be…
Mo Linyuan shuddered. Could it be that Ye Mu found out their secret, so they “took care” of her?
Mo Linyuan had guessed quite correctly. He felt more restless when he recalled that Ye Mu still couldn’t use her internal energy yet. No, it was more accurate to say that Ye Mu didn’t dare to use her internal energy. Once she uses her internal energy, then all the pent-up murderous energy inside her will break out, leading to a massacre in the imperial palace.
