Chapter 1171

Chen Ning's expression slightly changed. She felt like the heart in her chest began to uncontrollably beat again.

"Alright, I'll ask you again. You said that you were the one who ordered people to steal that blueprint. Do you know what's on that blueprint?"

She looked at him without blinking.

Chu Shao Yang replied without even thinking, "Of course I know."

"Then tell me, what is it?"

Chu Shao Yang hesitated for a bit before replying, "Weapons, of course it's weapons."

"Oh, what kind of weapons are they? Spears? Swords? Halberds? Bows? Or crossbows? Or scythes? "Chen Ning counted the names of the weapons as she looked at Chu Shao Yang.

Chu Shao Yang asked back, "Is this question important?"

"No, it's not important at all."

Chen Ning took a deep breath and opened the door, "I've already asked what I needed to ask and I already know the answer to this matter. King Ding Yuan, you can be assured that the emperor will not randomly accuse you of anything just because you were disrespectful to him. If it's right, then it's wrong. Whoever made a mistake will be the one to bear it!"

She said each word in a loud and clear voice.

After saying this, she walked around Chu Shao Yang and opened the door, walking out without looking back.

Chu Shao Yang's finger slightly moved. When she passed by him, he almost couldn't control himself from wanting to grab her and tightly hug her.

But he just stood there without moving. The wind came in from outside the door, lifting his robe and messing up his hair.

His eyes stared at her back as he watched her walk to that man's side.

That man tightly held her hand and pulled her out of his sight without looking back.

Chu Shao Yang seemed like he had turned into a statue. There was no expression on his face at all, but his eyes were filled with flames of pain.

After walking a very, very far away, Mo Chuan finally stopped. He pulled Chen Ning's hand and faced her.

"Ning 'er, I shouldn't have let you see him and be humiliated by him. This matter has nothing to do with you, but for me ….."

"No, Mo Chuan." Chen Ning gently cut him off. There was no anger or disgust on her face, "Your matter is my matter, unless you don't treat me as one of your own."

"Silly girl, in this world, the person I trust the most is you!"

Mo Chuan reached out his arms and gave her a tight hug.

"Since Chu Shao Yang admitted that he did it, I won't show mercy. Wait for me to report this to mother and then I'll punish him."

"Mo Chuan, do you believe his words? Do you really think that he is the mastermind behind all of this? "Chen Ning looked up from his chest and looked at him with a surprised expression.

Mo Chuan looked down, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes.

He didn't want Chu Shao Yang to be the mastermind more than anyone else, but he had personally admitted it. Other than him and Li Zhixing, no one else would know that it was a weapon. Chu Shao Yang was right, so even if he wanted to absolve Chu Shao Yang, he couldn't find a reason to do so.

"Mo Chuan, it's not him. Chu Shao Yang's words today were all out of anger, he isn't the real mastermind!"

Chen Ning left his embrace and looked right at him, speaking word for word.

Mo Chuan's deep black eyes fell onto her face and he softly said, "Ning 'er, you don't want it to be him, right?"
