In fact, this reaction already explained the problem. He looked at his father with a headache and sighed. "Father, do you know what you are doing?" Marquis Muyang was stunned and lowered his eyes. "Father is doing this for the prosperity of Marquis Muyang's residence. Yang 'er, don't worry. Nothing will happen. You may leave. " Mu Yang wanted to say something, but when he saw his father's expression, he swallowed his words and silently left the study.
Back at King Ding's residence, Ye Li turned back to look at Zhuo Jing behind her. "Are you satisfied with this result?"
Zhuo Jing was silent for a while before he suddenly raised his hand and wiped his face. A thin layer of leather mask was removed from his face, revealing the sorrowful and weathered face underneath. Actually, Mu Qingcang's disguise was not very similar to Zhuo Jing, but not many people had seen Zhuo Jing before. At least, Marquis Muyang had never seen Zhuo Jing before. Zhuo Jing always liked to maintain an expressionless face in front of others, so even Marquis Muyang did not notice anything wrong with Mu Qingcang's stiff expression. Mu Qingcang lowered his head and said indifferently, "I admit defeat."
Ye Li did not show any signs of complacency. "It's just a deal. Now, tell me what you know."
"Aren't you afraid that I will break the promise?"
Ye Li sneered. "If you break the promise, I will kill Marquis Muyang!"
Mu Qingcang closed his eyes tiredly. "I know. I will tell you what I know. Ask. "
Ye Li kept the smile on her face and looked at the person in front of her with a serious expression. "How did the former Prince Ding, Mo Xiuwen die?"
Mu Qingcang was stunned. He did not expect her to ask such a question the moment she opened her mouth. He was rather straightforward and said calmly, "I killed him."
Ye Li raised her brows and did not say anything. Mu Qingcang said, "That year, I was ordered to go to the border where the Northern Tribes were fighting and throw poison into Mo Xiuwen's water to create the illusion that he died of illness." Ye Li stared at him coldly and sneered. "Mr. Mu really dares to say anything."
Mu Qingcang didn't care at all and said indifferently, "Since I promised the princess consort, I will naturally keep my promise. If Princess Consort doesn't dare to listen, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. "
Ye Li snorted and said, "Mr. Mu, you only said half of it. Of course, I don't dare to listen."
Mu Qingcang lowered his eyes and said, "With Wangfei's intelligence and wisdom, do you still need me to elaborate on the rest?" Ye Li closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Well, this consort won't ask Mister Mu about the mastermind behind the scenes. Mister Mu, please tell me everything you know. Also … this consort cannot guarantee Mr. Mu's safety. "
Mu Qingcang said indifferently, "It's fine. At this point, it makes no difference to me whether I live or die. "
In the study, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Ye Li silently looked at the middle-aged man sitting in front of her. Her beautiful face was calm and expressionless, but she still couldn't stop the turbulent waves that surged in her heart because of what she just heard. Mo Xiuwen died young due to illness. Many people could guess that there must be some secrets that outsiders didn't know about, but even Ye Li didn't think that Mo Xiuwen's death would be related to that person in the palace. That year, when Mo Xiuwen died of illness and the Mohist army suffered a setback, the current Emperor had ascended the throne for less than three years, and he acted so hastily on the Prince Ding Mansion …
"What else does Princess Consort want to know?" Mu Qingcang looked at Ye Li with a faint smile, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.
Ye Li said indifferently, "Everything."
Mu Qingcang was startled and stared at Ye Li. "Everything? Has Princess Consort thought it through? You must know that this secret is enough to affect the entire Da Chu State and even the entire world. "
Ye Li smiled coldly. "Although this consort has never met the previous Prince Ding, he is my husband's elder brother, and also my elder brother. Moreover … you have fallen into my hands. Do you think that if I don't listen to others, I won't know this secret? "
Mu Qingcang was silent for a moment, then sighed. "Prince Ding is really lucky. Since Princess Consort insists, this one will tell Princess Consort everything. Treat it as repaying Princess Consort for fulfilling this one's wish. "
Ye Li and Mu Qingcang sat in the study for the entire morning, and no one knew what they talked about. When they came out of the study, their expressions were somewhat grave. Mu Qingcang was escorted away by two Shadow Guards. Before he left, he suddenly turned back to look at Ye Li and smiled. "This one can see that Princess Consort is a decisive person. Why don't I give you another piece of information for free?" Ye Li said indifferently, "I'm all ears."
"Xi Ling has already decided to send troops to the Da Chu State on August 15th. What does Princess Consort plan to do?" After he finished speaking, without looking at Ye Li's expression, Mu Qingcang changed his previous decadent and gloomy expression and left with a wild laugh.
The smile on Ye Li's lips gradually faded. After looking at the sky above the courtyard for a long time, Ye Li turned and left with a flick of her sleeve. "Inform Feng San and Sun Yan to come see me in the study immediately!"
Feng Zhiyao and Sun Yan arrived very quickly. The two of them felt that they had arrived at almost the same time. As soon as they entered the study, they saw Ye Li and Zhuo Jing sitting behind the desk and flipping through thick files. Feng Zhiyao glanced at them casually. They were the confessions of the captured assassins and all kinds of information collected by the Shadow Guard. Raising his eyebrows, Feng Zhiyao smiled and said, "Princess Consort, what happened?" Ye Li looked up at him and said, "Something did happen."
Feng Zhiyao stilled. His originally relaxed figure slowly straightened as he looked at Ye Li with a serious expression. Sun Yan's expression was also solemn as he listened attentively. Ye Li picked up a file and said, "Just now, Mu Qingcang told me that Xi Ling is preparing to send troops to the Da Chu State on August 15th." A startled expression flashed across Feng Zhiyao's face. His sword-like brows furrowed slightly. "Is this information reliable? We have not received any information in this regard. " Ye Li shook her head and said, "I don't know. Mu Qingcang would not lie. But the authenticity of this information needs to be verified. But … "Ye Li paused and looked at the two people in front of her and asked," What day is it today? "Sun Yan said," August 7th. "
Feng Zhiyao's expression also changed. He stood and said, "If this information is false, then so be it. But if it is true …" If it was true, although the northwest air force was not empty, many of the important positions had been controlled by Mo Jingqi's trusted aides. The Mohist army was restrained everywhere. If the West-Hill suddenly attacked, they would definitely be caught off guard. Right now, they were in the capital. It was impossible for them to reach the border in seven or eight days. Feng Zhiyao said thoughtfully, "The Prince has already left the capital for more than twenty days. According to the speed of the marriage procession, they should have already entered the Northern Tribes. Not to mention that the Prince has the important task of escorting the bride. Even if he did not have anything to do, it would take at least half a month to reach Xi Ling's border to take charge of the situation. Furthermore, the Prince could not have received the news immediately. Feng Zhiyao suddenly had a bad feeling. It seemed that the entire matter was a plot against the Da Chu State. "
"Princess Consort …"
Ye Li frowned and said, "What do you think? Just say it. "
