Chapter 993

"Emperor, this subordinate has an important matter to report." Zhui Feng's voice came from outside the window.

Mo Chuan walked in front of the window and opened it. He saw the bright moon in the sky and the silver light covering the ground. Zhui Feng's grey figure fell down from the roof like a fallen leaf.

"Is there any news from He Shou Zheng?" Mo Chuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this subordinate has been following He Shou Zheng for the past two days. Tonight, as usual, he went to drink with his colleagues after finishing his shift. However, halfway through, he went out to relieve himself. At that time, there was another person who went in with him to relieve himself. The two of them stayed inside for a total of an hour before coming out. He Shou Zheng went back to drink, but that person swaggered off. This subordinate felt that the situation wasn't strange, so I secretly followed behind that person. Then, I discovered that that person … actually entered the Duke Zhenguo's residence and didn't come out again."

"What did you say? Country Guarding Duke? Zhui Feng, are you sure? "

Mo Chuan couldn't help knitting his brows as his eyes filled with disbelief.

How could this matter be related to the Country Guarding Duke?

"This subordinate is definitely not wrong, that person did enter the Country Guarding Duke's palace. This subordinate was afraid of alerting the guards of the Country Guarding Duke's palace, so I did not dare follow him. After waiting outside for a while and not seeing that person come out, this subordinate immediately came back to report to the emperor." Zhui Feng replied.

Hearing the words "Country Guarding Duke", Mo Chuan's heart was filled with shock. This was because the Country Guarding Duke's status matched Chen Ning's guess of the real culprit.

But, this was simply impossible!

The Country Guarding Duke was a hereditary iron hat. The current Country Guarding Duke was already close to sixty years old and he had been on the battlefield when he was young, being a fierce general. His surname was not Chu, but because he had been loyal to the Chu royal family for generations, he was given the surname Chu. His achievements were high and although he had not appeared in court for a long time, he still had a very important position in the court.

When Mo Chuan ascended to the throne, this Country Guarding Duke had supported Empress Dowager Zhou.

He was young when he ascended the throne and his foundation was not stable. There were some ministers loyal to the previous emperor who bullied him because he was young and made things difficult for him. It was also the Country Guarding Duke who raised his hand and stopped everyone's criticism.

Mo Chuan had been grateful for his kindness over the years, but his body was not as healthy as before, so he no longer went to court and did not care about the matters of the court.

This kind of idle old minister, it was impossible for him to be related to an assassination, but Zhui Feng could not be wrong about him.

Could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo was really the big fish that they had caught with their net?

Mo Chuan couldn't help thinking.

"Zhui Feng, don't tell anyone about this. You will continue to follow He Shouzheng." He ordered.

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Zhui Feng floated onto the roof of the palace and quickly disappeared.

Mo Chuan said. Mo Mo Mo Mo Chuan closed the window and closed.

He didn't want to suspect Duke Zhenguo, because up until now, there was no concrete evidence that this matter was related to Duke Zhenguo.

As long as he saw her, his heart would feel at peace.
