When Mo Wende returned from the morning assembly, his expression was extremely ugly. The first thing he did was enter the pavilion. At that time, Mo Qingyan was still embroidering clothes.
"Yan, I have something to ask you. You must answer truthfully. " When Mo Wende saw Mo Qingyan, his expression eased up by quite a bit. However, it was still not a good show.
"Father, Yan suspects that your question this time must be related to the rumors outside about Miss Chu, right?" Mo Qingyan laughed, showing that he stood up and bowed, then invited Mo Wende to sit.
"It seems like you already know the rumors outside. What do you think about this?" Mo Wende looked at Mo Qingyan's calm and composed expression, as if he had a plan in mind, and was a little surprised.
"Father, my personal jade pendant was lost long ago. Even Mother knows about this. " When Mo Qingyan talked about this matter, he still felt extremely guilty.
After all, Mo Wende gave this jade pendant to him, he had worn it for a long time and never thought that it would be lost.
Luckily, however.
"But the testimony of your mother and her servants alone will not prove your innocence." Mo Wende thought that this matter would become Mo Qingyan's bargaining chip.
"Father, Qingyan naturally knows that this is not enough. But not long ago, this jade pendant returned to the hands of her daughter. " Mo Qingyan took out the jade pendant from his body.
"This jade pendant was given to me by you when I was young. I'm sure you can tell if it's real or fake." Mo Wende took the jade and scrutinized it, then heaved a sigh of relief.
"This jade pendant is indeed the one I gave you." Only, if this jade pendant is with you. Chu Rou's side... "Mo Wende looked at her daughter hesitantly.
"Father, do you still remember me going to a banquet once and returning in a sorry state?" Mo Qingyan sighed lightly and lowered his eyelids.
Her long eyelashes cast a shadow over the emotions that lay at the bottom of Mo Qingyan's eyes.
Even though Mo Wende did not know the connection between these two matters, he still replied honestly, "Of course I remember!"
"Miss Chu seems to be one of the Happy Ninth Prince's. Although the two of them seem very unfamiliar with each other, their eyes and their communication are very familiar. That day, I did not see the palace sand on the inside of Miss Chu's arm. "
"Yan, you can't say such nonsense." Mo Wende was shocked by Mo Qingyan's words. He even stood up from his chair and stared at Mo Qingyan with a serious expression.
"Father, this Yan naturally knows what is important. But when father thought about it carefully, when the Ninth Prince was in trouble, the Prime Minister Chu in the imperial court protected him from being demoted to a bastard. "
"Even when my daughter was in an accident earlier, I could tell that there was a malicious glint in Miss Chu's eyes." Mo Qingyan blinked her eyes, her eyes filled with tears.
Mo Wende, on the other hand, was deep in thought. With Long Sheng's robust and healthy body, he had not shown any signs of inadequacy, but he was still able to force his way through.
Mo Qingyan did indeed give some advice, but he remembered a lot of things.
After Mo Qingyan's explanation, the unreasonable things that happened in the past seemed to have suddenly become reasonable.
"Yan, in the imperial court today, Prime Minister Chu specifically reported this matter to the Emperor. After lunch, you follow your father to the palace. Rest assured, father will definitely not allow others to wrongly accuse his daughter for no reason. "
Mo Wende also had a plan in his heart, so he naturally had some confidence in speaking.
"Yes, Father." Seeing that Mo Wende was about to turn and leave, Mo Qingyan immediately bowed to him.
When Mo Wende's figure disappeared outside the door, he returned to the house.
Looks like this Chu Rou really couldn't wait to enter the palace after lunch today.
However, how did she know about the loss of his jade pendant?
He was using this as a trap to force himself into a corner. I'm afraid this Minister's Mansion, it's time to exchange blood.
After lunch, Mo Wende brought Mo Qingyan to the palace in a hurry, and continuously comforted Mo Qingyan's emotions throughout the journey.
This made Mo Qingyan feel very surprised. After all, his own father was not normally a very considerate and gentle person.
He was probably entrusted by his mother to do so by now.
As Mo Qingyan thought about it, a faint smile actually appeared on his face.
His father truly did treat his mother well.
It was just that, unfortunately, those two in the backyard were not easy to deal with.
When they arrived at the great hall, Chu Rou and Prime Minister Chu was already there waiting. Amongst those present in the Main Palace, there was also Ministry of Justice Proclamation, Li Sheng.
Mo Qingyan's expression changed slightly, Li Sheng was a subordinate of the Ninth Prince. He was afraid that he had already colluded with the Prime Minister Chu and the rest.
"This old official (this official's daughter) greets Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!" Mo Qingyan and Mo Wende bowed towards Long Sheng at the same time.
"I'll take you down." Long Sheng raised his hand, and only Mo Wende was allowed to stand up.
The rest of the people in the hall looked at Mo Qingyan as if they were watching a good show, but Mo Qingyan's expression did not change at all.
"Mo Qingyan, do you know your crime?" Long Sheng stared at Mo Qingyan for a few seconds, his eyes still showing an uncontrollable thirst.
Mo Qingyan was truly beautiful, to the point where even the publicly recognized beauty in the capital, Chu Rou, could not be compared to her.
"Your majesty, may I know what this subject's crimes are?"
Mo Qingyan was not one bit intimidated by the emperor's heavenly might, her eyes staring straight at Long Sheng. In Long Sheng's eyes, the fierceness contained within had become extremely enchanting.
"Mo Qingyan! You sent someone to assassinate my daughter, and even said you don't know what kind of crime it is? " Seeing that Long Sheng was about to be bewitched by Mo Qingyan's beauty, Prime Minister Chu immediately shouted.
The corner of his eyes continuously looked towards Long Sheng, and only after seeing that he had recovered his reason, did he slightly heave a sigh of relief.
"Mo Qingyan, what do you have to say about this matter?"
Long Sheng could naturally understand what the Prime Minister Chu meant, he regained his composure and dignity.
"Your majesty, this subject's daughter has been outside embroidering at home these past few days. I really don't know when such a thing has happened."
"When this subject found out about the assassination attempt on the Miss Chu, she was truly anxious. "I just don't know why people would spread such rumors."
"Mo Qingyan, you are quibbling! That assassin still has your personal jade pendant, how are you going to explain that? " Prime Minister Chu still did not spare him.
Mo Qingyan laughed coldly, "Prime Minister Chu, since it's my personal jade pendant. I wonder how Prime Minister Chu found out that this jade belongs to me? "
Mo Qingyan's question suddenly made Prime Minister Chu not know what to say, as a single sentence choked him.
"This subject's daughter's jade pendant has never left her body!"
Mo Qingyan said as he removed his jade pendant.
