Chapter 226

Mo Jiuye learned from the officials that Eight Brother had left with Prince Rui, and immediately went after them with He Zhiran.

Prince Rui ordered the guards to invite them in.

Mo Jiuye's eyes were cold as he said solemnly, "Greetings to Prince Rui." His words were polite, but his tone held no respect at all. He didn't even bother to bow.

He Zhiran had never cared much for the etiquette of this era to begin with. She stood beside Mo Jiuye without moving, not even opening her mouth.

Prince Rui glanced at the two of them, then made a welcoming gesture. "Please sit."

Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran to sit unceremoniously next to Eight Brother.

His hearing was excellent. When he had asked the guard to announce them to Prince Rui outside the door earlier, he had already overheard snippets of the conversation inside the room.

When dealing with someone who was likely an enemy, Mo Jiuye held nothing back with his words. "Based on what Prince Rui just said, the puppet worm in my Eight Brother was indeed your doing?"

Faced with Mo Jiuye's question, Prince Rui was quite frank. "I can only say I'm involved."

Mo Jiuye raised an eyebrow. "So you didn't put the puppet worm in my Eight Brother?"

Prince Rui shook his head and smiled wryly. "I didn't, but now that the mother worm is in my hands, I'm implicated regardless."

Seeing that was Prince Rui's response, Mo Jiuye decided to hear his explanation before interrupting.

Prince Rui continued, "Five years ago, I went on an outing to the suburbs with some staff. On the way, a mysterious man appeared and scattered some poisonous powder right in front of me. The people with me all fainted from the poison, but I was unaffected."

Mo Jiuye asked, "Why?"

Prince Rui gave a bitter laugh. "I've had a unique constitution since childhood that makes me immune to worms and poisons, so I didn't fall victim."

"What happened after?" Mo Jiuye intended to hear the full story before commenting.

"Afterwards, the mysterious man knocked me out and took me away. When I woke up, I was in a basement.

There were many skilled guards watching me, so I couldn't escape. It wasn't until a day later that the mysterious man appeared again.

He told me that he had used worms on my Imperial Mother. If I didn't do as he said, he would use the worms to torment her.

Mo Chuhan was hot-tempered by nature. Even with this explanation, he still didn't look pleased.

"That doesn't erase your crimes."

"I know I'm guilty. Once I find someone who can remove the worm from my mother, my wish will be fulfilled. When that time comes, I'll accept whatever you brothers decide to do with me." Prince Rui said sincerely.

Mo Chuhan gave a cold snort. "Hmph! As mere commoners, what right do we have to deal with an imperial prince of Da Shun?"

Mo Jiuye still had many questions. He pulled Eight Brother's sleeve to signal him to keep calm.

Seeing Eight Brother sit back down and fall silent, Mo Jiuye asked,

"What about the puppet worm in my Eight Brother?"

When it came to the puppet worm in Mo Chuhan, Prince Rui took the initiative to hand over the bottle to the brothers.

"While searching for ways to remove the worm from my mother, I privately found many books related to worm techniques, so I gained some understanding in that area.

One day the mysterious man sent a messenger to bring me a message. The messenger wore black robes and a face covering, but his eyes were blank and dull. I could tell with one look that he was under the control of a puppet worm.

Perhaps because the will of the man in black was strong, after delivering the letter he was supposed to leave immediately but instead lingered in front of me, wandering back and forth.

Out of curiosity, I took the chance to pull down the black-robed man's face covering, and recognized him as Mo Chuhan with one glance.

I was completely shocked in that moment. As far as I knew, Mo Chuhan had died at the Border Pass, so how could he be this man's puppet?

At that time, only you, Mo Jiuye, remained of the Mo bloodline. I respect the Mo Family, so I decided to try to rescue Mo Chuhan.

Before Mo Chuhan could return to report, I hurriedly scribbled a note saying I didn't have many skilled fighters by my side and wanted Mo Chuhan to stay and help me.

I was just taking a chance with this. My mother's life was in his hands, so there was nothing I could do if he refused.

I had already given up hope and was thinking of other ways when, to my surprise, the man brought Mo Chuhan to me himself.

He said he was very satisfied with how I handled things, and I would need capable guards by my side when I ascended the Da Shun throne in the future. Therefore, he agreed to give me Mo Chuhan, and also handed over the mother worm controlling Mo Chuhan."

On this point, neither He Zhiran nor Mo Jiuye doubted him. When they read that book "Compendium of Worms", it mentioned that transferring control of a mother worm only required the worm master to make the new master drip a drop of blood.
