"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Zhui Feng's voice came from outside the window.
Mo Chuan walked to the window, opened it, and saw the bright moon in the sky, silver light everywhere, and Zhui Feng's gray figure falling from the roof of the hall like a fallen leaf.
"But what news does He Shouzheng have?" Mo Chuan said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinate has been following He Shouzheng for the past two days. Tonight, as usual, he went to drink with his colleagues after getting off duty. However, when he was halfway through drinking, he went out to relieve himself. There was another person who went in to relieve himself with him. The two of them stayed inside for half an hour before coming out. He Shouzheng continued to go back to drink, but the man walked away. His subordinates felt that the situation was the same, so they followed him secretly. Behind the man, I found that the man... actually entered the Zhen Guo Gong's house and never came out. "
"What did you say? Lord Zhen Guo? Zhui Feng, did you read that correctly?"
Mo Chuan couldn't help but frown, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could this matter be related to Zhen Guogong
"My subordinate is definitely not mistaken. The man has indeed entered the Duke of Zhen's mansion. I was afraid of alerting the guards of the Duke's mansion, so I didn't dare to follow him any further. I waited outside for a while but didn't see the man coming out. Subordinate Just rush back and report to the emperor," Zhui Feng replied.
When he heard the words "Zhen Guo Gong", Mo Chuan was shocked, because his status as Zhen Guo Gong was very consistent with Shen Ning's guess about the real murderer.
But, this is simply impossible!
Zhen Guo Gong is a hereditary iron hat. The current Zhen Guo Gong is already in his sixties. When he was young, he once fought on the battlefield and was a fierce general. His real surname is not Chu, but he was given the surname because of his loyalty to protect the Chu royal family for generations. He was a member of Chu State and had great achievements. Although he had not been in court for a long time, he still held a pivotal position in the court.
When Mo Chuan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Duke of this town also stood behind Empress Dowager Zhou to support her.
When he came to the throne, he was young and ill-informed, and his foundation was unstable. Some ministers loyal to the late emperor often bullied him for his young age and made things difficult for him. It was the Duke of Zhenguo who raised his voice and stopped everyone's criticism.
Mo Chuan has often been grateful for his kindness over the years, but his health has declined in recent years. He no longer goes to court and no longer cares about political affairs.
It should be impossible for such an idle veteran to be involved in something like conspiracy and assassination, but there was absolutely no way Zhui Feng could be mistaken.
Could it be that the Duke of this town is really the big fish they set up the net to catch
Mo Chuan couldn't help but ponder.
"Zhui Feng, don't tell anyone about this matter. Next, you continue to follow He Shouzheng." He ordered.
"Yes, I obey." Zhui Feng jumped up to the top of the palace and disappeared quickly.
Mo Chuan closed the window and turned around, his face as dark as water.
He was unwilling to doubt Duke Zhen Guo, because until now, there was no definite evidence that this matter was related to Duke Zhen Guo.
He shook his head and put aside the doubts in his mind. When he returned to the bed, she was still asleep. The candlelight shone on her face, which made her even more charming. He looked at her intently and spoke slowly. Slowly hook up.
As long as he saw her, he felt at peace in his heart.
He took off his coat and lay down next to her on the bed. She seemed to feel it and immediately snuggled into his arms like a kitten, making him happy and troubled at the same time.
