Chapter 347

That is to say, in Fei Nanyu's heart, if even people like the Mo family could not be trusted, then there would be no trustworthy people under this sky.

Mo Jiuye did not know that Fei Nanyu had already regarded his Mo family as his own people. The first thing he would do when he took power one day would be to help the Mo family clear their name and allow them to return to the imperial court.

With such loyal people to assist him, the dynasty would become even more stable.

Mo Jiuye never imagined that the future emperor had already noticed the Mo family. He thought that since the matter was already settled, he should leave early.

However, before he could speak, Fei Nanyu took the initiative to speak first.

"Mama Fei is still surnamed Fei in the end."

Mo Jiuye raised his eyebrows. He did not know what Fei Nanyu wanted to say to him, and he did not want to discuss more about his origins.

After all, the Mo family had completely lost hope in the imperial court, and did not want any more involvement. Knowing too much would not be good.

Fei Nanyu could naturally see Mo Jiuye’s thoughts. The other party simply did not want to know these things.

But since he had chosen to say it out, his purpose was to get Mo Jiuye to see him in a different light, while at the same time showing the difference between himself and those royals.

Whether Mo Jiuye wanted to know or not, he said to himself:

"Mama Fei was soft-hearted in the end. Nan Qi is her nephew by blood after all.

After settling down in the capital, I asked her if she was willing to testify for my identity. She hesitated at the time and asked if I would kill Nan Qi.

I said it was not up to me whether I would kill Nan Qi or not, that would depend on His Majesty’s verdict.

Perhaps Mama Fei felt safe and thus had compassion for Nan Qi. Now I have hidden her away and she is very safe, she just can't help for the time being.

With her attitude like this, I dare not rashly bring her out to testify, in case she bites back, it would not be worth it."

In fact, Fei Nanyu had another reason for telling Mo Jiuye these things.

There were not many people he could trust around him, and he felt an urge to confide his troubles to someone he trusted after keeping it bottled up for so long.

At this moment, he told the whole story in one breath, feeling much more relaxed in his heart. At the same time, he also hoped to get a little response from Mo Jiuye.

Now that Fei Nanyu had said so much, if Mo Jiuye did not respond at all, it would seem too impersonal.

"Since Mama Fei is unwilling to come forward, have you ever thought of finding Concubine Yuan?"

"Ninth Brother, let Fifth Brother go."

"Ninth Brother, let Sixth Brother go."

Mo Jiuye shook his head. "No, I must be the one to go this time."

In order to convince his two elder brothers, Mo Jiuye continued to explain, "It has been confirmed that Master Si Meng is in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. The key to capturing him alive is the Golden-winged Sculpture.

The Golden-winged Sculpture has accepted me as its master. I can fully command it to lead me to find Master Si Meng.

Besides, I suspect the Ninth Prince may have some handle over Si Meng. Just like Nan Rui, those of royal blood are immune to exotic poisons, but it’s hard to guarantee Si Meng won't target those close to them.

I’ve been learning some techniques to dispel curses from Ran Ran, and she also prepared some antidote pills for me. If necessary, I can still help."

"But... Si Meng is too dangerous. We don't want you to take risks alone," said Fifth Brother somewhat reluctantly.

Mo Jiuye knew that the purpose of bringing his two elder brothers with him to the capital was so that they could support each other.

He was not someone who liked to show off. Whenever his brothers could work together, he would never stand on ceremony.

"Tomorrow, let’s go out together, brothers, and take another look at the terrain around the Ninth Prince’s Mansion. When the time comes, I’ll go in with Fei Nanyu while you two wait outside ready to meet us. Once we succeed, we’ll bring Si Meng out together.”

Seeing that Ninth Brother had said so much, Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother naturally could not object anymore. After all, Ninth Brother had abilities that they did not.

"Alright, let's make a good plan tomorrow then."

The next day, Mo Jiuye disguised all three brothers before leaving the courtyard. After making sure their original looks could not be seen, they headed out.

The three brothers lingered around the Ninth Prince's Mansion for a long time before finally deciding that Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother would split up and stand in two different locations.

Although in two locations, they could still see each other. If anything unexpected happened, the two could quickly regroup.

Mo Jiuye's position upon leaving the prince’s mansion was also visible to both elder brothers.

The three brothers all took this matter very seriously. Even after returning to the courtyard, they were still discussing it, doing their best to leave nothing to chance.

...

Finally, it was the time Mo Jiuye had agreed upon with Fei Nanyu. He changed into his night clothes again and appeared in the study room.

At the same time, the snow-white Golden-winged Sculpture stood on the roof of the study, ready to obey its master’s orders at any time.
