Mo Xiuyao looked at him and calmly said, "A mere imperial jade seal shouldn't give you the courage to go against I. Is there anything else?" Mo Xiuyao did not speak. It was not that he still wanted to deny it to Mo Xiuyao, but he really could not say it. If he said it, he would only die.
Seeing his stubborn appearance, Mo Xiuyao coldly laughed and said, "You think that if you don't say it, I won't be able to find out?"
Mo Jingyu's face paled. He finally lowered his head and said hoarsely, "Prince, since you already know, why ask?"
Mo Xiuyao stared at him and said, "I just don't understand … as a member of the imperial family of the Da Chu State, why would you sell your country for a mere few hundred thousand taels of silver? In those two years, at least half of the people who were massacred in the north should be counted on your head, right? " Mo Jingyu's face was deathly pale. His lips trembled slightly. He closed his eyes for a long time before sighing and saying, "For what … I also don't know why. Perhaps it was to fight for some dignity. Clearly, they are all Father's sons. Mo Jingqi and Mo Jingli, that idiot, ruined the Da Chu State, but they still took turns to hold the power. Even if Mo Jingqi was killed by Mo Jingli, compared to letting outsiders like us hold the power, the Empress Dowager would still rather put her son under house arrest. They schemed against each other for the sake of power, while we, who worked hard for the Da Chu State, had a noble status on the surface, but in reality, we couldn't even afford to buy a small toy. This kind of life … didn't Prince Ding also experience it? If not for the Prince Ding Mansion's wealth, what kind of life would Prince Ding have had in those years? "
"You think that you are smarter than Mo Jingqi and Mo Jingli?" Mo Xiuyao coldly laughed and asked.
Mo Jingyu raised his hand to cover his eyes, saying sadly, "At first, I thought so. Now … I also don't know." He was not a deranged traitor. His moment of confusion back then had created an irreversible mistake. By the time he came to his senses, the Da Chu State had already moved south. These years, he had assisted Mo Jingli with great care. Unfortunately, because of his imperial status, Mo Jingli had always been on guard against him. And now … someone finally came to settle this score?
For a moment, Mo Jingyu appeared disheartened. He looked up at Mo Xiuyao and said, "I'll tell you everything you want to know. How you want to punish me … up to you. Only … my children are still in Da Chu State, I hope that the Prince Ding Mansion can guarantee their safety. I don't ask for glory and wealth, I only ask for their safety. "After saying these words, Mo Jingyu seemed to have aged several years.
Mo Xiuyao was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Mo Jingyu understood Mo Xiuyao. Although he was crafty and cunning, making his enemies gnash their teeth in hatred. But when he made a promise, he always kept it. Mo Jingyu nodded and said, "Bring me a pen and paper. I can only tell you what I know, but the Empress Dowager may not tell me everything. "
After a moment, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li left the prison cell with the information Mo Jingyu provided. In the prison cell, Mo Jingyu was still sitting on the large chair. His entire body was motionless, as though he had lost all signs of life. Mo Jingyu's fate had long been decided. Regardless of whether it was Mo Xiuyao or the Prince Ding Mansion, traitors who betrayed the country were severely punished. Whether he confessed or not, only death awaited him. But now, no one cared whether he lived or died.
This night seemed to be extremely long. In a place where the citizens who were immersed in joy did not know, a bloody storm was secretly brewing. The hidden forces that Mo Jingli had been secretly proud of and relied on were removed one by one. The next day, many people would discover that the people who had been living by their side had suddenly disappeared without a trace. From then on, they would never be able to find any traces of them.
At this time, Mo Xiaobao naturally did not know that while he was racking his brains on how to play with Mo Jingli, his father had already finished many things. At this time, Mo Xiaobao was lying on the roof with a smile, peeking down through the cracks in the roof. Daring to climb onto the roof of a person whose martial arts were not low in this heavily guarded place, it was enough to show that Mo Xiaobao had quite a bit of confidence in his qinggong. The Shadow Guards who were secretly protecting him were willing to let him climb onto Mo Jingli's roof, proving that they were quite confident in their prince's ability.
At this time, Mo Xiaobao had a sinister smile on his face as he stared at the furious man below. Everything in the room had been smashed clean. He originally wanted to viciously slap Mo Xiuyao's face and even take his life, but in the end, it did not go as he wished. Instead, he became a joke. How could Mo Jingli not be angry? After venting his anger, Mo Jingli finally calmed down a little and said in a deep voice: "Bring wine!"
Not long later, someone came in with wine and placed it on the table. Mo Jingli looked at the guard who brought the wine in with annoyance and said in a deep voice: "Get out!" Ever since he was injured by Mo Xiuyao in Liyang, Mo Jingli did not like to interact with others. Other than when it was necessary, he usually brought himself alone. This naturally made the people around him feel strange. After all, although Mo Jingli was not considered a pervert in the past, the number of women by his side was not small. However, they had been on the run all this time, so Mo Jingli's lack of interest in women did not attract too much attention.
Mo Jingli sat at the table and poured a cup of wine into his mouth. The burning sensation of the strong wine made his eyes a little bloodshot. Tonight's huge defeat and the faint fear in his heart made him unable to resist pouring cup after cup of wine into his mouth.
On the roof, Mo Xiaobao smelled the pungent smell of wine and wrinkled his nose. He smiled and took out an extremely small pill, crushed it into powder and threw it in through the cracks of the roof. The light powder casually floated, some landing in the wine cup, some landing on Mo Jingli's body. Mo Xiaobao frowned in disappointment and helplessly sighed. If he directly threw the pill into Mo Jingli's wine, it would definitely be discovered by Mo Jingli. Although it would not be easily discovered if he crushed it into powder, he was afraid that the medicinal effect would not be enough. In fact, if it was not for Mo Jingli's irritation that made him pour down the wine, he was afraid that the powder he scattered would be discovered by others. Reality was like this, Mo Xiaobao could only helplessly accept it. He looked at Mo Jingli below and quietly left the roof.
Not long later, the originally quiet courtyard suddenly became lively. For some reason, a fire suddenly appeared in the backyard. Originally, a fire was not a big deal, but at this very sensitive time, any abnormality could attract the Shadow Guards of the Prince Ding Mansion. The entire courtyard became a mess. Other than the guards at the door, everyone else was busy putting out the fire and looking for traces.
Mo Jingli, who had been drinking, suddenly heard the noise and became even more displeased. He abruptly opened the door and walked out, shouting sternly, "What's going on?!" A guard hurriedly came forward to report, "Reporting to Your Highness, the backyard suddenly caught on fire …"
