Chapter 410: Betting with Underpants
After being busy for so long, Gu Yixiao didn't even have time to ask what happened between Zhu Jiu and Mo Huaizun, and he didn't return home all night.
Her first reaction was that Mo Huaizun discovered that the soul was Zhu Jiu and was now coming to capture her.
But on second thought, if they were really discovered, considering Zhu Jiu's resume during his lifetime, the situation shouldn't be so mild.
Although Gu Yixiao quickly suppressed the sudden change in expression on his face, Mo Huaizun still caught it.
Mo Huaizun's expression deepened slightly, and his tone was even, "It seems that you know her existence. So, are you surprised that I know about her, or are you afraid that I know about her?"
This sentence is so sharp.
Being afraid probably means that Epiphyllum has problems with its identity and cannot be seen by others.
Gu Yixiao felt that when facing Mo Huaizun, he had the feeling that if he said one more word, his entire family tree would be exposed. It was even more terrifying than facing Ling Yuanlong.
The latter at least melted her a little bit, while Mo Huaizun was the type that could kill her with one blow.
Fortunately, Gu Yixiao reacted quickly and answered calmly, "I'm just surprised that Chief Mo could see it."
Mo Huaizun looked at her twice, then looked away and looked at Zhu Jiu's body.
When his spiritual consciousness penetrated the mask, he saw the same face, the same one Chu Yi saw when he took off the mask and the same one he had detected before.
"When did Miss Gu get to know Epiphyllum?"
When faced with Chu Yi's questions, I could still evade the main issues and give selective answers to fool him, but now it's different.
Got to lie.
Gu Yixiao had a guilty conscience. She felt that if she answered three days ago, it would be related to Zhu Jiu who disappeared in the Great Wilderness a few days ago.
"One year ago." She didn't dare to hesitate.
"If you don't mind, can you tell me what happened?" Mo Huaizun's eyes darkened a little, and he gestured to the teahouse below. It seemed that he wanted to have a long conversation, not only talking about the Epiphyllum, but also about the old emperor.
Zhu Jiu originally wanted Mo Huaizun to put pressure on Gu Yixiao to let her realize that people who play politics are all dirty-hearted. But now he feels that if he continues asking questions, Gu Yixiao will be exposed sooner or later.
No, maybe that sentence just now gave it away -
If Mo Huaizun found out Gu Yixiao’s movements over the past year.
"The suspect who murdered the Emperor is not here. Chief Mo is questioning the wrong person."
Zhu Jiu spoke, attracting attention and shifting the focus.
"If you're interested in me, why don't you just ask me directly? Why are you beating around the bush?"
"Also, as a ghost, I know what Xiaoxiao knows, and I also know what she doesn't know. I can tell you what happened in the Imperial Palace last night."
Dharma Protector Elder Mo Huaizun: Old swan, there is something dirty making a sound in the air!
It’s the ghost that disappeared with Mo Huaizun all night last night!
Logically speaking, since Gu Yixiao was at a disadvantage, Mo Huaizun should have taken advantage of the situation to pursue him, but...
He took the opportunity to look at Zhu Jiu, with a hint of sneer on his lips, "Since you haven't come yet, I thought you forgot about it."
Huh? Why is it like Chu Yi is possessed?
The guardian elder bet with his own underwear, and Mo Huaizun is in a very bad mood now.
It's really strange that after coming out of the imperial palace, he sat quietly in the garden without saying a word.
He spent the entire afternoon reading a book he had memorized when he was seven years old. The more he read, the colder his aura became, like a lover who had been stood up. He also handled Ji Ling's affairs in an uncharacteristic manner.
He stopped too quickly.
The subsequent follow-up matters were also arranged very casually.
It's like... I don't care who the murderer is anymore.
Just now, when he saw Gu Yixiao wandering around here, he seemed even more unhappy.
The group entered the teahouse's private room by the river.
Before entering, Mo Huaizun glanced around indifferently, and the people who were following him secretly felt a chill in their hearts, and they each sent a message to their master.
The Dharma Protector Elder privately consulted Dharma Protector Elder Chu Yi about the matters of Cricket Zhu Jiu and Mo Huai Zun.
"Chief Mo has always been a secretive person, but today I don't know why he has such a lot of emotions."
Even so, only the guardian elders who are very familiar with him can understand it.
"He was cheerful in front of the old emperor's corpse in the morning, but he was as cold as ice when he was reading in the afternoon. He refused to say anything when asked what happened last night, but he questioned Gu Yixiao harshly when he came up to him. He even sneered when the ghost spoke."
"It's a little scary."
Chu Yi Dharma Protector Elder ate some melon seeds and said, "What's there to not understand? Your chief is in love."
"?"
"Impossible! Tiezhu, no, how can an iron tree bloom!" The guardian elder Mo Huaizun was so shocked that he lost his voice due to a slip of the tongue.
The face of the Dharma Protector Elder Chu Yi darkened. It was because of nothing else but the two words "Iron Pillar" were a psychological shadow for him and they almost killed the little prince.
Now he is quite gloating.
Hey, he was scolded by the sect a few days ago for failing to guard properly, and his closest colleagues had better not escape it either.
"Don't disbelieve it, only love can make people moody, anxious, worried about gains and losses, and wait from dawn to dusk!"
He spoke with such confidence that the Dharma Protector Elder Mo Huaizun was confused. "Who did he talk to? I was watching from the side the whole time and didn't have any contact with anyone."
"What do you think? Of course it's Gu Yixiao. With her outstanding appearance, it's normal for the chief to fall for her. If you don't believe me, just watch. The chief will be in a good mood after leaving the teahouse."
The guardian elder Mo Huaizun frowned and glanced, "Then I'll observe. By the way, how are you doing over there?"
"Don't mention it." The Chuyi guardian elder said bitterly, "It's still going on. Chu Ge was crying that she had no hair and asked the little prince to change it back for her. Then she was clamoring to go out and find Ling Yuanhan to testify for his innocence."
"I think the little prince is almost going crazy, but it's a pity that no matter how much I explain, it's useless."
What do you think this is?
The two guardian elders exhausted all their energy and sighed in dismay, "Ah."
……
On the other side, Zhu Jiu explained to Mo Huaizun the death of the old emperor.
Last night, after the head burning incident in Huiming Garden, the old emperor returned to Changle Palace after enjoying a day.
He was dissatisfied with the incident caused by the Seventeenth Prince that led to the interruption of the night banquet, so he summoned him to vent his anger.
The seventeenth prince left at the hour of Chou, feeling resentful and depressed, taking into account the suppression and power division he had received from the old emperor over the years, as well as the treasure-stealing incident, the lax defenses in the palace, and what Wen Ren Se Jue had predicted.
With such a godsend opportunity, he ordered Qiu Sheng, who had been arranged long ago, to carry out the risky assassination as planned, and then put the blame on Zhu Jiu for the murder.
But Qiu Sheng was an epic traitor, and she took two shares of the money.
After evaluation, I am not willing to take this risk.
But if you don't do it, you won't get any spirit stones.
It doesn’t matter. She can’t get it from Ling Yuanhan. As long as she tells Ling Yuanlong, the latter will definitely reward her with the same amount.
What a bargain.
So Qiu Sheng told everything.
Ling Yuanlong has been enduring humiliation for so many years. I don't know how she broke free from the influence of the Lover's Mark. I decided to take advantage of her.
She told Qiu Sheng to carry out the first half of Ling Yuanhan's plan as usual.
Qiu Sheng's chances of successfully assassinating the Emperor are not high, that's because the old Emperor will always be on guard against others, but he will not be on guard against Ling Yuanlong, who has always been controlled by him physically and mentally.
Qiu Sheng agreed and killed Mang Yue.
At the same time, Ling Yuanlong, who was summoned privately by the old emperor, disguised himself as Mang Yue and mixed in, using extraordinary actions to remind the old emperor who he is.
The old emperor was overwhelmed with lust and thought it was a romantic moment, so he dismissed everyone and left the two of them alone as usual.
Ling Yuanlong took the opportunity to activate the soul-returning spell, killed the old emperor, changed back into the identity of the princess, forged Zhu Jiu's handwriting, pretended to rush to the scene with the imperial army as soon as possible, and sealed off the situation.
This is also the reason why Ling Yuanhan was one step slower than Ling Yuanlong and lost the initiative.
During the confrontation, Ling Yuanlong, who knew everything, was too greedy and wanted to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of Ling Yuanhan. She guided everyone to shift their suspicion from Zhu Jiu to Ling Yuanhan.
But Qiu Sheng was indeed a traitor. She had already sold Ling Yuanlong's actions as information to Ling Yuanhan.
The arrow was on the string, Ling Yuanhan had no choice but to hold his nose and pay Qiu Sheng to identify the princess.
Both parties paid money, so the scene became one where Qiu Sheng told the truth, making Ling Yuanhan the target of public criticism, while hinting that the murderer was Ling Yuanlong.
The end result was that both of them looked sexy.
The above was originally one of Zhu Jiu’s possible speculations, but when Gu Yixiao discovered the Lover’s Seal, Zhu Jiu locked on this speculation.
It can be said that the old emperor was killed by Ling Yuanlong, or it can be said that he was conspired to commit murder.
After Zhu Jiu finished saying this, Gu Yixiao was a little dazed. Thinking carefully about the reactions of all parties at that time and the clues obtained, they really matched one by one.
She only knew that the murderer was a princess, and she had no idea of the details. So that's how it is?
Zhu Jiu is a newcomer like her, how come he knows so much!
Gu Yixiao was greatly shocked, but he saw that Mo Huaizun looked calm and thoughtful, so he was not surprised at all.
It seems that most of it has been expected.
This is normal. Zhu Jiu has only been here for two days and he has already figured out the general situation of the three-party dispute. Mo Huaizun has been taking over these matters for many years and has a deeper understanding of them.
As soon as Qiu Sheng concluded that he was a double undercover agent, murder became a trend.
The only obstacle preventing the truth from coming to light is the matter between the old emperor and Ling Yuanlong.
Gu Yixiao couldn't help but ask: "Do you know about them?"
"do not know."
Normally he wouldn't explain too much, but... feeling Zhu Jiu's gaze, Mo Huaizun said something unusual.
"It's just that Miss Gu's surprised expression when she found the Lover's Seal revealed the hatred between the two."
Gu Yixiao felt a little frustrated. She used to be very secretive, but in front of these people, it seemed that she was not good enough.
When Mo Huaizun reached here, he glanced at Zhu Jiu, moved his lips slightly, and then closed his mouth without saying anything.
The guardian elder was very perceptive and saw that Mo Huaizun had something to say to Zhu Jiu, but he took into consideration the presence of Gu Yixiao.
He smiled and said, "Miss Gu, this teahouse has a cruise ship cruise at night, where you can enjoy the magnificent view of the entire Jiling Imperial Capital. Since you are new here, now is the time to enjoy the view."
That sounds good.
Perhaps it was because the guardian elder spoke too kindly, and Gu Yixiao's sensitive nerves, which only became active when faced with malice, lost their effectiveness.
She turned her head and blinked and asked Zhu Jiu: "Epiphyllum, are you going?"
It can be seen that she will go if Zhu Jiu goes, and she will not go if Zhu Jiu does not go.
Several people:"……"
