With a creak, the door was pushed open. Mo Jingqi's back was to the door and he could not see anything, but he could sense that someone had entered. He shouted harshly, "How dare you kidnap me. Quickly untie me. I'll spare your lives. "
"Aiyo, this young master is so scared …" A cold and mocking laugh came from behind him. Mo Jingqi turned to look. There were three men dressed in black standing behind him. They were dressed in black from head to toe. Even their faces were covered, only revealing a pair of eyes. Mo Jingqi looked again and again, but he realized that he could not tell if these people were people he knew or not.
"Who are you? Do you know what the crime of kidnapping me is? "Mo Jingqi asked harshly.
Feng Zhiyao narrowed his eyes at the man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. He was not bad looking. The Mo family members were all good-looking. However, the aura between his brows was far from Prince Ding's. Even though he pretended to be calm, Feng Zhiyao could still see the fear in his eyes. He smiled thoughtfully. It was good that he was afraid.
"What is the crime of kidnapping the Emperor?" Feng Zhiyao smiled wholeheartedly at Mo Jingqi, asking, "Does Da Chu State have a crime of kidnapping the Emperor?"
Mo Jingqi was speechless. Of course, Da Chu State did not have such a crime, because no one would dare to kidnap the Emperor. "Impudent!" Feng Zhiyao laughed coldly. He leaned over and placed his elbow on the back of the chair, looking down at Mo Jingqi with a smile. "Since we've invited the Emperor here, we naturally know the consequences. So, it's best if Your Majesty does not waste words. Otherwise … "A small dagger suddenly appeared in his empty fingers. Feng Zhiyao carelessly slid the tip of the dagger around Mo Jingqi's neck. The cold and sharp blade immediately caused goosebumps to appear on Mo Jingqi's neck." You … what do you want? "
Leng Haoyu, who was leaning against the wall, smiled. "Actually, it's nothing much. We just want to borrow something from Your Majesty. His Majesty is rich, surely he won't be so stingy? " Although Leng Haoyu's words sounded very gentle, it was impossible to ignore the threat in them.
Mo Jingqi quickly glanced at the knife on his neck and asked, "What do you want?"
"Azure Falling Flower," Feng Zhiyao whispered.
Mo Jingqi was startled. "I don't know what you're talking about. What Bi Luo's words?" Feng Zhiyao smiled coldly and said, "I've heard that Bi Luo's words can revive the dead. I just don't know if the Bi Luo Flower can be saved if I stab it down …" There was a slight pain on his neck. Mo Jingqi felt something flowing down his neck. It was his blood! His heart trembling, Mo Jingqi hurriedly called out, "Wait! The Blue Jade Falling Flower has been lost for more than a hundred years. Who told you that we have the Blue Jade Falling Flower? "Feng Zhiyao smiled and said," There is no harm in telling the Emperor this. There is a young master named Tan Jizhi. I wonder if Your Majesty knows him? "
Mo Jingqi was stunned. Tan Jizhi? If it was someone else, he might be able to deny it. However, Tan Jizhi naturally knew him because he was the one who had given it to him. He thought that Tan Jizhi had been killed by Mo Xiuyao. Could it be … "You're Mo Xiuyao's men?!"
As though reading his thoughts, Feng Zhiyao smiled coldly. "Your Majesty, don't waste your time. There are many people who know that the treasure is in Your Majesty's hands. Tan Jizhi is still alive and is currently in the Chu capital. "
"He's in your hands?"
Feng Zhiyao shook his head. "Although we're also looking for him, it's enough to know the whereabouts of the Bi Luo Flower. It seems that Young Master Tan isn't that loyal to Your Majesty. According to what this one knows, Young Master Tan had already reneged on returning to the capital two months ago. Does Your Majesty not know? "
Mo Jingqi cursed inwardly. He really didn't know. Originally, he thought that Mo Xiuyao must have secretly killed Tan Jizhi. Now, it seemed that Mo Xiuyao had truly let him go. He was the one who refused to return. Needless to say … he must have betrayed him. Thinking of this, Mo Jingqi's heart tightened. Tan Jizhi had betrayed him. Did that mean that Mo Xiuyao already knew about that matter?!
"I really admire Your Majesty. You can still be in a daze at a time like this." Feng Zhiyao smiled. "Speak, the whereabouts of the Bi Luo Flower or Your Majesty's life?"
"Even if you kill me, you can forget about escaping from the capital!" Mo Jingqi said angrily.
Feng Zhiyao smiled. "Who told you that we're in the capital right now? Even if I kill the Emperor, I can still swagger into the capital and find a place to stay. The Bi Luo Flower is in the palace. This one can slowly search for it. Since Your Majesty is so stubborn, it seems that our Da Chu State needs a new Emperor to ascend the throne. " After speaking, without any hesitation, he raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed towards Mo Jingqi's neck.
"Wait!" Mo Jingqi cried out in shock. Seeing the dagger dangerously close to his neck, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"I'll speak …" Mo Jingqi's face had long turned pale, his eyes filled with fear. "The Bi Luo Flower is … is in the Empress' palace."
Feng Zhiyao was startled. His phoenix eyes narrowed as he coldly said, "You would place that kind of treasure in the Empress' palace?"
Mo Jingqi said, "It's precisely because it's a treasure that it's not eye-catching in the Empress' palace. The Bi Luo Flower's appearance is like jade. Eight years ago, We decorated it and gave it to the Empress as a gift, ordering her to keep it well. That's why she definitely wouldn't use the Bi Luo Flower for herself or give it to others. "
Feng Zhiyao stood up, saying, "You better be telling the truth."
"We're not lying. When will you let Us go? "
Feng Zhiyao walked towards the door. "As long as we get the item, we can let you go at any time. But if there's any problem with the item, Your Majesty knows the consequences! "
Mo Jingqi said dejectedly, "We know."
It was definitely not a small matter for the Emperor of a country to go missing in the palace in broad daylight. Needless to say, the entire capital and the Imperial Palace were under martial law, searching door to door. Those in the palace who knew the inside story were even more alarmed.
The Empress Dowager, who had long been enjoying her life in the Imperial Harem and did not care about worldly affairs, also came out. The Empress and Noble Consort Liu were also present. The Commander of the Imperial Guards, the Chief Eunuch, and Prime Minister Liu, who had been summoned by the Emperor, all knelt on the ground. The Empress Dowager's face darkened as she angrily rebuked, "It's been half a day, and the Emperor has suddenly disappeared. What are you people doing?! What's the use of the Imperial Family keeping you? "No one dared to refute and could only beg for mercy. Among them, Prime Minister Liu felt that he was the most innocent. He had only asked to see the Emperor to discuss some matters. What did the Emperor's disappearance have to do with him? It was only because he was the last person the Emperor saw before he disappeared. Naturally, he couldn't escape being dry-cleaned.
"Investigate carefully for Aijia! You must bring the Emperor back safely! As for your lives, wait until the Emperor comes back! "The Empress Dowager ordered coldly. Everyone nodded in agreement. After venting her anger, the Empress Dowager looked at Prime Minister Liu who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Prime Minister, what did the Emperor say to you when he last saw you?" Prime Minister Liu said, "Empress Dowager, they just discussed some affairs of the imperial court. There was nothing special." How could the Empress Dowager not see that Prime Minister Liu was perfunctory? Her eyes darkened as she said coldly, "Tell me the details." Prime Minister Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Because of what happened in the morning court, the Emperor was furious, but he didn't say anything important. He only said that they would discuss it tomorrow morning." It was not that Prime Minister Liu wanted to hide anything from the Empress Dowager, but the punishment of the Xu family was top secret. As long as the Emperor hadn't given an order, it couldn't be disclosed. Otherwise, the Liu family would be in trouble.
