The news of the Queen of Nan Zhao disappearing not far from Glass City was not completely concealed, and the Prince Ding Mansion did not deliberately hide it. Just as Mo Xiuyao said, there was no wall in the world that did not have a crack. Right now, the people in Glass City were all nobles and even people in charge of various countries. They more or less had their own secret channels. Even if they could not find out the situation in the Prince Ding Mansion, some of the big and small matters in Glass City could not be hidden from them.
Among them, the most shocked was Mo Jingyu. He originally thought that Mo Jingli was just joking when he said that he wanted to make a move on the Queen of Nan Zhao. He did not expect that madman to really make a move and even succeed. Decades of cautiousness made Mo Jingyu instinctively feel that his current situation was somewhat dangerous. However, such an important piece of evidence and the temptation of the imperial jade seal made him unable to retreat safely. Hearing the news reported by his subordinate, Mo Jingyu took a deep breath. After a while, he regained his senses and waved his hand to dismiss the subordinate.
"Uncle Wang, did something happen?" Mo Suiyun, who was sitting at the side, asked curiously.
Mo Jingyu glanced at him indifferently and said, "Didn't you hear that someone kidnapped the Queen and Prince of Nan Zhao?" He blinked and said with some confusion, "Why would they kidnap the Queen and Prince of Nan Zhao? This is the territory of the Prince Ding Mansion. If they have a grudge against the Queen of Nan Zhao … wouldn't it be better to help people elsewhere? "
Mo Jingyu looked at him and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is thinking too much."
Mo Suiyun lowered his head and said somewhat shyly, "Didn't Uncle Wang and Imperial Grandmother say … we can't provoke the Prince Ding Mansion? Uncle Prince Ding seems to be very powerful … are those assassins not afraid of him? "Mo Jingyu sighed softly and murmured in a low voice," Maybe he's crazy. "
Although his voice was low, Mo Suiyun was sitting very close to him. Naturally, he heard it clearly. Mo Suiyun lowered his head and did not reply, as if he did not hear Mo Jingyu's words at all. A strange light flashed through his seemingly ignorant eyes.
Even though the Shadow Guards of the Prince Ding Mansion had searched every nook and cranny of Glass City, they still couldn't find Princess Anxi. After that, Xu Qingbai and the envoys from the Western Region arrived at Glass City safely. Since they were escorted by the Shadow Guards of the Prince Ding Mansion from afar, they did not encounter any trouble along the way. However, a few of the Shadow Guards sent by the Prince Ding Mansion were injured.
In the study of the Prince Ding Mansion, Xu Qingbai was drinking tea as he looked at Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li, who were sitting at the top of the table. He asked, "Did something happen?" Even if the emissaries from the Western Regions were guests, there was no need to send the Shadow Guard to welcome them hundreds of miles away. After a few years of being independent, Xu Qingbai also became more mature and steady. Even though he was too young compared to the officials of the Prince Ding Mansion, his aura was already somewhat similar to that of Great Teacher Xu.
Ye Li nodded and told him about Princess Anxi's disappearance. Xu Qingbai raised his eyebrows, but did not show any surprise. After thinking for a while, he said, "Even if Mo Jingli wanted to vent his anger, he wouldn't look for the Queen of Nanzhao, who has no grudge with him. With his personality, I'm afraid … he'll look for the Prince Ding Mansion in the end. "
Ye Li nodded. She naturally understood what Xu Qingbai was saying. She sighed with some worry and said, "I'm just afraid that Mo Jingli is deliberately trying to embarrass the Prince Ding Mansion and harm Princess Anxi and the little prince."
"There hasn't been any news in the past two days, so it shouldn't be. Moreover, Mo Jingli is not someone who doesn't care about his own life. With Princess Anxi and the little prince in his hands, at least we won't attack him. Therefore, Princess Anxi shouldn't be in any danger for the time being. "Xu Qingbai analyzed calmly. He had no relationship with Princess Anxi. It could even be said that he didn't know her at all. Therefore, he was more objective in his analysis. "Li 'er, don't worry too much. If Mo Jingli wanted to kill her, he could have done it on the spot. Why would he bother to kidnap her and find a place to hide her?"
Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li and smiled. "I also said the same thing, but Li insisted on worrying. Now that Qingbai also thinks so, you should be relieved, right? " Ye Li smiled a little embarrassedly and said to Xu Qingbai, "Fourth Brother, Second Brother will be in charge of the accommodation and reception of the Western Region ambassadors. Please take care of them. Also, I'm a little worried that Mo Jingli might do something to the Western Region ambassadors. If there's any problem, you can go to Qin Feng or Zhuo Jing. "
Xu Qingbai nodded solemnly. The Western Region ambassadors came from afar to congratulate them. No matter what their intentions were, they were still guests from afar. If something happened to them in Glass City, it would be difficult to explain. If they weren't careful, the Western Region borders might be lit again.
"Since we're sure it's Mo Jingli, then … could he be in contact with the people from Da Chu State?" Xu Qingbai thought for a moment, then put down the teacup in his hand and asked. Ye Li smiled faintly. "Fourth Brother is indeed sharp. We do suspect that Mo Jingli has met with Mo Jingyu. And … I'm afraid Mo Jingli has something on Mo Jingyu. "
"So, you plan to wait for him to come?" Xu Qingbai raised his eyebrows. "But we still have to be careful. Mo Jingli dares to sneak into Xi Ling and hasn't been caught by the Prince Ding Mansion's Shadow Guards. It seems that he still has some trump cards." Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "Don't worry, this King knows what else he has in his hands."
"Mo Jingyu has always been cautious. What could Mo Jingli have on him?" Speaking of this, Xu Qingbai was also curious. He had been in the Chu capital for a period of time, and had even been an official of Da Chu State. Naturally, the Princes of Da Chu State had some understanding of these people. Mo Jingqi was able to remain safe and sound under someone as suspicious as Mo Jingli. Later, when he was under Mo Jingli, he was still able to be put in an important position. Now that Mo Jingli had fallen, he was still able to hold great power. It was clear that he wasn't someone easy to deal with. What weakness could Mo Jingli have against such a person that he could use to control him?
Mo Xiuyao frowned. "With Mo Jingyu's current position, no one can touch him even if they have something on him. What can make him afraid of … treason, rebellion, regicide? Mo Jingqi and Mo Suyun's matter has nothing to do with him. Rebellion … Mo Jingyu isn't such an impulsive person. He doesn't have any troops in his hands. That means … treason! "As he spoke, Mo Xiuyao's brows furrowed.
"Treason?" Ye Li and Xu Qingbai were both surprised. Mo Jingyu was a Prince of Da Chu State. Treason was even more surprising than rebellion and regicide.
Mo Xiuyao rubbed his forehead, thinking as he said, "It shouldn't be considered treason … it's very likely that he sold something from Da Chu State to …" He frowned and thought for a moment, before slowly spitting out two words. "Northern Tribes."
"Are you sure?" Ye Li frowned. Traitors, no matter what era they were in, would always be despised by the world. If that was the case, it was no wonder that Mo Jingli was controlled by him.
"I'm not sure. It's just a guess," Mo Xiuyao said mildly. "However, whether it's true or not, we'll know soon enough." After knowing that Mo Jingli and Mo Jingyu had been in contact, the Prince Ding Mansion had already sent people to investigate Mo Jingyu. Most likely, it wouldn't be long before all of Mo Jingyu's deeds would be placed before them. If even Mo Jingli could discover a secret, it was fine if the Prince Ding Mansion didn't notice. If they investigated seriously, it was impossible for them not to find out. Ye Li only hoped that this wasn't true. If Mo Jingyu really did something he shouldn't have done, she was afraid that no matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to leave Glass City alive.
