Prince Wei's Mansion.
"A bunch of good-for-nothings. We've been looking for him for so long but still haven't found him. They're all useless."
Wei Xingchen looked stern, like an enraged lion.
It has been several days since Si Yao was kidnapped from the Dali Temple for no reason, but the people he sent out could not find any clues.
Not only that, for some unknown reason, there was a rumor spreading among the people.
Someone said that everything Si Yao did was instructed by him, and he described some details very clearly, including how he stole Si Yao out of the Dali Temple prison and how he colluded with the King of Qin of Dongfan.
And Si Yao is the only one who knows these things best, so these rumors must have been spread by her.
So he is now very sure that Si Yao has completely betrayed him.
Although he didn't know why Si Yao betrayed him, the Emperor of Northern Qi had already asked about this matter in the court today, and Prince Xuan Mo Wenjing's eyes looked like he wanted to eat him alive.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Si Yao must not be left alive. Only when she dies will these things no longer be known to anyone.
And those rumors without evidence are just rumors.
Just when Mo Xingchen was at a loss, a secret guard brought news.
"Your Highness, I found out that the person is now in the home of a servant of the Mu family. That servant once served Aunt Liu of the Mu family."
After hearing this, Mo Xingchen immediately beamed with joy.
Isn't Aunt Liu Si Yao's biological mother? Then this news must be correct.
At this time, Si Yao was quietly waiting for Mo Xingchen's arrival, because the rumor in the market was exactly what she asked Nanny Chen to spread.
She knew that once the news got out, Mo Xingchen would look for her like crazy, and she couldn't wait to see him go crazy.
Then, a faint sound of light footsteps came.
The next second, the familiar figure came into view. Mo Xingchen was holding a sharp sword, and his whole body exuded murderous aura.
But at this moment, Si Yao's eyes were calm and without any fear of death. She opened her red lips and said, "I knew you would come in person."
Mo Xingchen's voice was as cold as ice. "How could I send you off through someone else's hands?"
Si Yao calmly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mo Xingchen, "You said that you like the tea I brew the most."
Mo Xingchen took the teacup, but was reluctant to drink the tea.
Si Yao showed sarcasm on her face, "Why? Are you afraid that I will poison you, or are you lying to me about liking the tea I brewed?"
Mo Xingchen frowned slightly, "I don't know what you are talking about."
He immediately poured out all the tea in his hand. Si Yao was now at the end of his rope, and there was no guarantee that he would not poison him to death out of desperation.
"Hahaha, you don't know what I'm talking about?"
Seeing Mo Xingchen being so useless, Si Yao finally broke down and hysterically told him everything he had done.
"It was you who rescued me from the Dali Temple. It was also you who sent me to Dongfan Xuanxingyu and asked me to pretend to be the Saint of Dongfan."
"It was you who made me seduce King Xuan and then schemed to hurt him. But I never expected that you would push all the blame on me for another woman."
"Mo Xingchen, you have no heart. A sinister and cunning person like you wants to be the crown prince. You are dreaming."
Si Yao's words made Mo Xingchen feel confused, but at this moment he could not care about the doubts in her words.
"As expected, you were the one who spread those rumors outside. If that's the case, I can't keep you here."
"Let's see if you can kill me today." Si Yao bit her lower lip tightly, her hand in her sleeve tightly gripping the mechanism.
There are crossbows hidden on the walls on both sides. The crossbows are made to look like decorations. Nanny Chen specially found a master of mechanical engineering to make them specifically for Mo Xingchen.
As long as he dared to take a step forward, the arrows and crossbows on both sides would pierce his body.
Si Yao has never been a stupid person. Although she was deceived by Mo Xingchen because of her deep love, hatred can make her sober and further stimulate her potential.
So even if her plan failed and Mo Xingchen failed to die in her hands today, he still had a backup plan.
The crimes just mentioned will one day appear before the emperor under her planning.
Mo Xingchen also realized that something was wrong at this time, but in order to get rid of Si Yao as soon as possible, he still slowly moved forward.
When he walked to the designated location, Si Yao quickly pressed the mechanism in his hand, and countless arrows shot out from both sides of the wall like a flood.
Mo Xingchen reacted immediately, tapping the ground with his toes and quickly swung the sword in his hand.
The arrows in the crossbow shot out in waves. But soon, Mo Xingchen mastered the pattern of how the crossbow fired arrows.
Because after each wave of arrows was fired, there would be a half-minute gap, and he would take advantage of this moment to slightly turn his wrist and pour all his internal strength into the sword like a river.
Then he raised his sword and used his sword energy to quickly knock down the crossbows hanging on the wall.
This scene was like a thunderclap, which stunned Si Yao. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
I never expected that Mo Xingchen, who usually looks like a casual and weak gentleman, is actually so hidden.
Before she could react, the sword fell on her neck. Just one step closer and her neck would be pierced.
"go to hell!"
Mo Xingchen was already blood-thirsty at this point, and he swung the sword in his hand without any hesitation.
boom--
There was a sound of stone and sword colliding, and the knife in Mo Xingchen's hand fell to the ground.
"Do not move!"
The next second, a group of officers rushed in with weapons. The figure in the crowd made Mo Xingchen's heart tremble.
"Uncle Emperor."
Mo Yuche was wearing a dark black robe. He glanced at Mo Xingchen and then said in a deep voice:
"Master Zhou, Master Shen, did you hear everything clearly? The King of Wei colluded with the enemy and betrayed his country, and it is true that he murdered his brother. You must report everything to the emperor."
Mo Xingchen narrowed his eyes and shouted at the top of his voice: "How dare you! I am the prince. I want to see who dares to touch me."
Mo Yuche snorted coldly, his tone unquestionable: "I am following the orders of His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case of the criminal King Xuan being stabbed and colluding with the enemy of Dongfan. Why don't you arrest the suspects?"
"I didn't do that. I didn't do any of that!" Mo Xingchen denied it flatly. He pointed at Si Yao and said angrily, "These bitches are the ones who framed me."
Yes, he did not personally admit that he did those things just now. It was Si Yao who said it all. As long as he insisted that he was framed, he would still have a chance of survival.
But just as he said this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and fell straight to the ground.
Si Yao, who was standing by, saw this scene and suddenly grinned.
