Chapter 993: 993




“Emperor, this subordinate has some things to report . ” Zhui Feng’s voice came from outside the window .

Mo Chuan walked over and pushed the window open . He saw the moon in the sky shining down silver light and Zhui Feng falling down from the roof like a leaf .

“Is it news from He Shou Zhen?” Mo Chuan said in a deep voice .

“Yes, emperor . This subordinate has been following He Shou Zhen for the past two days . It was the same for him tonight, going out to drink with his companions after duty . Only after drinking for a bit, he went to the washroom . There was also another person who went out with him and the two of them stayed out for an hour before they came back . He Shou Zhen continued drinking while that other person left . This subordinate felt this matter was off and secretly followed that person, finding out that… . . that person entered the Country Guarding Duke’s manor and didn’t leave . ”

“What did you say? Country Guarding Duke? Zhui Feng, are you certain?”



Mo Chuan couldn’t help knitting his brows as his eyes filled with disbelief .

How could this matter be related to the Country Guarding Duke?

“This subordinate definitely didn’t make a mistake, that person indeed entered the Country Guarding Duke manor . This subordinate was afraid of alarming the Country Guarding Duke Manor guards, so I didn’t dare follow . After not seeing that person come out after guarding for a while, this subordinate immediately came back to report to the emperor . ” Zhui Feng replied .

Hearing the three words “Country Guarding Duke”, Mo Chuan couldn’t help being shocked . This was because the Country Guarding Duke was most likely the real culprit Chen Ning mentioned .

But that was basically impossible!


The Country Guarding Duke was a hereditary title and the current Country Guarding Duke was already close to sixty . He rode across the battlefield in his youth and had been a first grade general . He was not surnamed Chu, but because of his loyalty for the Chu royal family, he had been gifted the surname Chu, having a high power . Although he hadn’t been in court for a long time, he had a very important position in the court .

Back when Mo Chuan became emperor, the Country Guarding Duke had supported Empress Dowager Zhou .

He was young when he was enthroned, having an unstable foundation . Some of those ministers loyal to the previous emperor used his young age to bully him . It was the Country Guarding Duke’s reprimand that stopped everyone’s criticisms .

Mo Chuan had always felt gratitude towards him . Only his body was not like before and he couldn’t go to court any longer, so he ignored the matters of the court .

This kind of idle old minister shouldn’t be related to something as rebellious as an assassination, but Zhui Feng definitely didn’t make a mistake .

Could it be the Country Guarding Duke was really the large fish he spread his net to catch?


Mo Chuan couldn’t help falling into deep thought .

“Zhui Feng, don’t let anyone else know about this matter . Keep following He Shou Zhen . ” He ordered .

“Yes, this subordinate will follow orders . ” Zhui Feng jumped onto the roof and quickly disappeared .

Mo Chuan closed the window and turned around with a face as calm as water .

He wasn’t willing to suspect the Country Guarding Duke because even now, there was no concrete evidence connecting this matter to the Country Guarding Duke .

He shook his head and chased out the doubts in his mind . Returning to the bed, she was still asleep . The candle light shone down on her face, making her even more beautiful . He looked at her without turning and his lips slowly curled .

As long as he looked at her, he felt his heart was at peace .

He took off his outer clothes and laid down beside her . It was like she felt something as she curled into his embrace like a little kitten, making him feel happy and troubled .
