After walking a few steps, Mo Chengning suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Chen on the side: "Master Zhou just said that he had something to discuss with the prince. What is it?"

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay."

Mo Chengning raised his eyebrows, then nodded, turned and left.

Zhou Chen glanced at Mo Chengning, then turned back to Tuoba Xuan and said, "Your Highness, I am leaving now."

As he said that, he quickly chased after Mo Chengning.

After walking outside, Zhou Chen caught up with Mo Chengning, panting.

Mo Chengning glanced at him sideways: "Why, Master Zhou, do you have anything else to do?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "No, no, I just want to ask... I wonder why the young prince wants to take this person?"

When he said this, Mo Chengning stopped and turned to look at Zhou Chen: "Master Zhou doesn't know?"

Chen Zhou:"……"

He raised his hand and wiped his face, probably because he knew something.

"You already knew that he was the one who contacted the maid, so why did you leave him alone? You couldn't pry open the maid's mouth, and you didn't arrest this man. When will you be able to get to the bottom of this case?"

"Seeing that everything is ready at the front and the war is about to break out, my father has no time to spare. And at this time, someone in the harem wants to kill Concubine Chen. Do you think my father can still focus on handling the frontline?"

Zhou Chen began to sweat on his forehead when he heard Mo Chengning's repeated questioning.

Mo Chengning is a small person, but his aura is no weaker than Mo Xiao's. When he looks cold, he looks particularly oppressive.

Zhou Chen: "I was not thoughtful enough... But, he was someone close to the prince, so I was a little hesitant and didn't dare to take action directly."

In fact, this was also the purpose of his going there today, but he did not expect that their little prince could not bear it anymore and took action himself.

Mo Chengning snorted: "It seems that you didn't listen to what Concubine Chen said."

Zhou Chen: "...Yes, I know I was wrong."

Mo Chengning turned around and said calmly, "This war is inevitable. By then, that country may no longer exist. Are you still afraid of one of their princes? Lord Zhou, sometimes you have to be a little bolder. You are the most capable right-hand man beside the emperor. Don't be timid and make people laugh at you."

Zhou Chen was scolded, but he really had no words to say. He could only lower his head and said honestly: "Yes, I remember it."

Zhou Chen looked at the tied-up man and asked softly, "Your Highness, would you like to hand this man over to me for interrogation?"

"No need, I will interrogate him myself," Mo Chengning said lightly, "Besides, I arrested him not just because of this incident. He is the most trusted person around Tuoba Xuan. Without him, Tuoba Xuan can't do many things."

By getting this man away, he cut off Tuoba Xuan's left and right arms and trapped him.

Zhou Chen reacted and said quickly: "Yes, I understand."

After a pause, Zhou Chen told what happened to the palace maid today.

When Mo Chengning heard this, his expression immediately changed, and he said in a cold voice: "Tell your people to move faster, otherwise if you go too late, the people will be gone."

Zhou Chen was stunned: "What does your Highness mean?"

"If I was the mastermind behind this, I would not let the maid's family live," Mo Chengning looked at Zhou Chen, "After all, who can guarantee that the maid did not pass on the message to her family?"
