C102

From the very start, the Royal Father was giving questions to him and the Prince Chu, saying that whoever could obtain the Murong Family's hidden treasure map, would be given the title of emperor!

He was worried that Murong Mo had a good relationship with Prince Chu and might even help him!

However, who would have thought that the "Rising Wind and Rising Cloud" would be taken away by an unknown group of kidnappers? They were extremely angry!

"Dammit, hurry up and think of a way!" The Crown Prince sat back in his master's chair uneasily, but his expression was solemn!

And at that moment, Prince Chu and Murong Mo had really gone to the Emperor's place to look for the crown prince. Only, Murong Mo did not say that the crown prince had assassinated the Prince Chu, but only emphasized that there were five hundred people chasing after the Prince Chu.

On this point, with the Prince Chu's testimony, the Emperor believed it without a doubt!

As a monarch, what he hated the most was his subordinate's intention to betray him!

With so many experts in the crown prince's hands, there was no need for them to emphasize anymore. The trust the emperor had for the crown prince had for him had already dropped to zero, plus the crown prince had deliberately murdered Prince Chu. If Prince Chu died, wouldn't he be the next emperor?

The Crown Prince actually had so many experts on the internet!

The emperor's eyes narrowed as he thought of this. There was a chilling glint in his eyes!

Even if it was his own son, as long as he had the thought of killing him, he would be the unfilial son!

After Murong Mo and the Prince Chu finished reporting, the Emperor immediately sent someone to the crown prince's mansion.

His men, on the other hand, were not there to capture him, but to investigate the powers of the crown prince in secret.

The investigation was much more serious than capturing the crown prince in the open!

If he wasn't careful, then he would be doomed for sure!

On the way home.

"It's still better for you to be the one at the top. This time, I believe that the Royal Father will no longer trust the crown prince. The more supporters the crown prince has, the more suspicious the emperor will be." Prince Chu looked at Murong Mo with praise.

Although the crown prince was gentle, with Murong Mo by his side, all of the civil officials in the imperial court were not his match!

"No doubt about it. There is no doubt about it. The ruler has the highest authority. Doubts are the most important." Murong Mo analyzed them one by one.

From the fact that the Emperor killed his grandfather, it could be seen just how suspicious the Emperor was!

Every time he thought of his own grandfather's death, Murong Mo would unconsciously clench his fists.

After Prince Chu realized that Murong Mo was not right, he anxiously changed his words: "It's all thanks to you this time, if not for you, I am afraid that I would have directly reported it, suspecting that the crown prince had murdered me."

With Murong Mo's explanation, this was even more straightforward than killing the crown prince!

To be suspected by the Royal Father, and to have the Royal Father take action against the crown prince, this was far more direct than directly complaining!

"Where are you? To help the Prince Chu with their worries is something that Mo Mo should do." Murong Mo replied respectfully, but in his heart, he couldn't help but think of Murong Xuan.

I wonder what Xuan Er is doing now, could it be that she's barbecuing again?

"Oh right, it's been a long time since I've seen your house. How about I go to your house for a drink today?" Prince Chu's eyes turned cold, he looked at Murong Mo and asked.

He really wanted to confirm whether the woman he saw at that time was actually Murong Yunduo or not!

Originally, he thought it was Murong Xuan. He did not expect Murong Mo to actually say it was Murong Yunduo …

Could it be that after leaving the capital for so long, he had confused the two sisters?

Just as Murong Mo wanted to agree, he was told that the Murong Mansion's treasure map, "Raise Wind and Surge", had already landed in the hands of the Minister Zhao and that he had used it to exchange for his daughter Zhao Qianyun with the kidnappers!

The Minister Zhao actually obtained the treasure map, "Rising Wind and Rushing Cloud"?

Isn't it in grandpa's hands?

After Murong Mo received the news, he immediately reported it to Prince Chu. When Prince Chu heard the news, his face was immediately filled with shock, thus, the two of them quickly changed their words and went to Shang Shu Manor!

Shang Shu Manor.

He had just sent off a group of assassins, and now there were two more buddhas!

Minister Zhao might be young, but his mental endurance was strong, and this time, he could not hold on much longer!

It was normal for the assassins to visit. After all, it was too attractive. Even the emperor was tempted to kill for it, not to mention the people in the martial arts world.

But, what were the Prince Chu and Murong Mo doing here?

Did he come to ask for his return?

Although this "Rising Wind and Cloud" was a treasure map of the Murong Family, and was passed down from generation to generation, it had already been lost during the slaughter a hundred years ago.

Moreover, this "Rising Cloud" was given to him by Qianye Muyu, it had nothing to do with him!

Just from the time that Prince Chu and Murong Mo had walked to Minister Zhao's study, Minister Zhao had already thought of many things by himself.

These days, he hadn't slept well at all. Even if he hid in the basement to sleep, he could still be found by those people. He simply didn't have much time left!

When the Prince Chu and Murong Mo saw the Minister Zhao, they were shocked. Those panda like eyes, were they really the famous Minister Zhao in the imperial court?

The Prince Chu and Murong Mo asked a few simple questions about what had happened. After finding out that the treasure map "Rising Wind and Rushing Cloud" was actually thrown out of Qianye Muyu's residence, they immediately came to the conclusion that it was Qianye Muyu who had given it to them.

After all, other than Qianye Muyu, who would have such great ability?

Even if Murong Mansion had the treasure map, it was impossible for it to be thrown out in order to save Zhao Qianyun!

After all, Zhao Qianyun had nothing to do with their Murong Mansion, so it was actually Grandfather who had sacrificed himself for the sake of the treasure map …

But, if the treasure map was in Qianye Muyu's hands, then why was Qianye Muyu still trying to get close to the Mu Rong family?

Murong Mo frowned. He couldn't understand why the painting would fall into Qianye Muyu's hands, nor could he understand why Qianye Muyu would throw the painting over to him.

He had always thought that his grandfather had hidden that treasure map, but he never thought that it would actually fall into Qianye Muyu's hands.

In that case, wouldn't Grandpa's death have been in vain?

The Emperor was so heartless, yet he wrongly accused and killed innocent people!

When he thought about Qianye Muyu, Murong Mo simply did not know what to say!

If Qianye Muyu did not approach the Mu Rong family for the treasure map, then what did he do it for? Could it be that he wanted to return the treasure map to them?

He knew that it was impossible!

After all, the treasure map was so precious, how could Qianye Muyu be willing to return it to them?

However … Yet she gave it to the Minister Zhao so straightforwardly, and in the form of throwing it away, it was as if she was throwing trash away!

Although the treasure map was filled with doubts, since it was already confirmed that it was real, then the most important clue would naturally lie with those kidnappers. Asking the Minister Zhao again would not help either!

Prince Chu squinted, and looked at Murong Mo as if he had something in mind!

He had originally thought that the treasure map would be in the hands of the Murong Family, but he never thought that it would have already fallen into Qianye Muyu's hands.

If he wanted to compete with the Crown Prince for the throne, he would have to start from the lost treasure map.

After leaving Minister Zhao's residence, he asked for a few pieces of information about the treasure map before returning to his residence.

As for Murong Mo, the dark color in his black eyes had turned a lot darker compared to when he was in Shang Shu Manor. Let alone the Prince Chu, he himself was also at a loss!

After all, he had always thought that since his grandfather was hiding this from him, it was on purpose to not let him know.

Then, could it be possible that in order to protect the Mu Rong family, his grandfather gave the treasure map to Qianye Muyu, so that he could obtain Qianye Muyu's protection?

After all, Qianye Muyu had been very good to Xuan Er recently!

Thinking about it, Murong Mo could not help but be disappointed.

He originally thought that Qianye Muyu sincerely treated him well, but now it seems like it was entirely because his grandfather had gifted the treasure map to Qianye Muyu.

In short, his grandfather was already dead, and that painting had also landed in the hands of others.

Not long after Murong Mo heaved a sigh of relief, a wave of Murong Family surged once again. However, that was all a story for a long time!

Shang Shu Manor.

After finally sending off Prince Chu and Murong Mo, Minister Zhao sat on the ground with a dejected expression.

These days, he had been busy to the point that he could barely be seen. There were several times when he was called into the palace by the emperor, and all he did was inquire about the details of the treasure map.

For example, what exactly was drawn on the treasure map?

How could the Minister Zhao know about all these?

If he had found out, he would not have stayed in the capital. He would have gone to search for the treasure!

However, the Minister Zhao did not realize this, so how could the Emperor believe it so easily?

Every single one of them, including those who were scouting around Shang Xingzhou at night, had come to investigate about the treasure map!

Minister Zhao was tormented to the point where he almost lost his human form. At this moment, he finally understood, that the treasure map was not a blessing, but a curse!

He had previously experienced what kind of situation Murong Mansion was like, and now he could finally understand it!

The feeling of being on tenterhooks and not being able to sleep well was unbearable!

Even the Emperor was starting to doubt his loyalty!

Although Zhao Qianyun had returned to Consonance Academy, his Consonance Academy was not any better than Shang Shu Manor's. There were countless people who had come to visit during the night, and those who had low ability could still cope with the guards in Consonance Academy, while those with high ability could only watch as they entered!

In order to obtain the treasures before the Prince Chu, the Crown Prince had also sought Zhao Qianyun out several times.

This Zhao Qianyun was truly worthy of her reputation as the number one beauty of Chu Kingdom, coupled with her talent in Fighting Spirit Master. Moreover, the Principal had even praised Zhao Qianyun before, saying that she was a rare good seedling …

Of course, such a woman was qualified to be his princess consort!

As for that Murong Yunduo, if she could help him obtain the treasure map, she would have already married her and become the princess consort.

When Zhao Qianyun was with the crown prince, Zhou Xuan, her heart was preoccupied with thoughts, but it was actually Qianye Muyu!
