Chapter 130 Oh, I messed up

"Can you answer my question now?" Chu Qingmeng still felt uncomfortable in her neck. Seeing her constantly moving, Mo Liujin knew that she must be feeling uncomfortable. He could only gently help her up and sit on the bed. He let Chu Qingmeng lie on his legs, combed her long hair and replied, "I saw you were sleeping soundly last night, so I didn't have the heart to wake you up. I really didn't expect that someone would deceive us in the name of the emperor. Fortunately, my father had already asked someone to find a doctor, and he brought us to the palace last night. It was only when we entered the palace and saw the Duke of Zhenguo and others that we realized we had been fooled. Everyone was extremely anxious at the time, but fortunately, it was daybreak. Daybreak meant that they would not attack the women who stayed in the mansion for the time being. In fact, after we knew we were fooled, we were really anxious more than each other, and we wished we could split ourselves back."

"Then how did you get back?" Mu Lingxue was also curious.

"The emperor has woken up." Mo Liuyuan took a sip of tea and continued.

"Haha," Chu Qingmeng sneered, "You messed up the performance, now you should understand the truth."

"Qingmeng, don't talk nonsense." Mo Liujin gently scolded Chu Qingmeng. However, Mo Liuyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Qingmeng in surprise, "Sister, how did you know that the performance was a failure? Did you tell her, Third Brother?"

"I've never told her this. Only a few of us know about this," Mo Liujin smiled helplessly, stroking Chu Qingmeng's head like a kitten. "She might not like to use her brain, but there are some things she can guess almost exactly from the slightest clue."

"But how did you know that someone would destroy the mansion?" Mo Liuyuan also asked his own question.

"Because the unusual assassinations these past few days don't seem like assassinations, but more like sieges! Too hasty! But this morning, Lingxue came to me and mentioned that Uncle Lian, uh, my father, had gone to tend to the sick. I felt something was amiss, but I couldn't put my finger on it." Chu Qingmeng then pointed at the younger generation nearby and said, "The mansion is too quiet. No matter how quiet these brats are on weekdays, the mansion is always noisy. But yesterday, there was no sound at all. We suddenly realized something was amiss. Not a single adult male in the mansion is here! There's only one conclusion to this situation..."

"That is, this person has the ability to transfer all the adult males in the palace. It is easy to guess who he is and what his purpose is." Mu Lingxue took over Chu Qingmeng's words.

Chu Qingmeng nodded, and then asked Xiang Mojiangqing, "What happened to you yesterday?"

"Mother, I received a notice from the Ministry of War asking me to leave the capital to suppress bandits. Jiang Che wanted him to go to Qingzhou to escort grain. The other brothers were also transferred for similar reasons. I only realized that the four brothers had left the capital when I met Jiang Yu on the road. I realized something was wrong and hurried back to contact the other brothers. After the six of us met up, we returned to the palace first." Mo Jiangqing answered. Mo Liuyuan's four sons nodded in agreement.

"Your reaction is okay." Unlike your father, who only became confused after being criticized by others, Chu Qingmeng did not dare to say the second half of the sentence. She was afraid that Mo Liujin would strangle her to death in anger. When they were alone, she could insult him in any way, but now, in front of a group of younger people, she had to save his face.

"Can you two tell me what's going on now?" Mu Lingxue frowned and asked the key question.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This was something they really couldn't talk about.

"Speak or not, if not, get out!" Chu Qingmeng was somewhat furious. After all, almost all of her shadow men were annihilated, and she didn't even get a clear explanation. She endured the pain and stood up and pushed Mo Liujin away. Her movement caused the wound to bleed again.

"Mother!" "Mother!" The two brothers were so frightened that they rushed forward and gently held Chu Qingmeng down.

Seeing her moving around and bleeding, Mo Liujin hurriedly held her down and whispered an apology. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Mo Chenfeng walked in with his other sons. "Let me tell you."

Seeing Mo Chenfeng come in, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted. Mo Chenfeng took a few steps forward and held down Mo Liujin and Chu Qingmeng, signaling them not to move. He was also afraid that Mo Liujin's movement would affect Chu Qingmeng's wound. Then he slowly sat down in the main seat. "A month ago, my brother felt unwell and summoned us to the palace. It wasn't originally to attend to his illness, but to help Old Seventeen ascend the throne. But the crown prince is sitting on the throne! It's not easy to change the crown prince suddenly! So the two of us agreed to use Prince Rong's mansion as a guide to lure out the prince's party first, and then my brother would take action to eliminate them. But this is where things went wrong. The crown prince didn't move, perhaps because he knew my brother's intentions and was drunk and crying all day. Instead, Old Seventeen, who had always been doted on, for some reason started to attack all of us and even poisoned my brother. It was he who tricked us into entering the palace yesterday and transferred the younger generation in the mansion away."

"Humph." Chu Qingmeng sneered, "Why? Uncle, I really can't guess why."
