As soon as Zhou Chen entered Yinghua Hall, he knelt down.

Mo Xiao was holding a memorial in his hand. Seeing him like this, he threw the memorial aside, lowered his eyes to look at Zhou Chen, and said calmly: "Have you found out everything?"

Zhou Chen knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "The palace maid from before finally confessed everything."

He pulled out a confession from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "She admitted in person that she was instructed by Concubine Shun to communicate with Tuoba Xuan's guards. The painting was also given to the little palace maid by Tuoba Xuan's guards, and the little palace maid then handed it to Concubine Shun. The news of the painting was also spread by the little palace maid herself at the instruction of Concubine Shun."

"Cui Ping, who died in my hands before, was instructed by Concubine Shun to pass a message to the Zhou family, asking them to wipe out the family of that little palace maid."

"There is evidence for everything, including the Zhou family's witnesses. I already have them all."

"As for Tuoba Xuan's guard... he is in the hands of the young prince. If Your Majesty wants to see him, he can do so at any time."

After Zhou Chen said that, he knelt on the ground, silently waiting for Mo Xiao's punishment.

Mo Xiao leaned back in his chair and didn't speak for a long time.

During the years since he ascended the throne, he thought he was very good at judging people and had never made a mistake. But he never expected that today he would fall for a woman in the harem.

He always felt that Zhou Ruo was a man who knew the current affairs and was a rare smart man.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Ruo could do such a stupid thing behind his back.

Mo Xiao looked at Zhou Chen and asked calmly, "What do you think?"

Zhou Ruo is his sister after all. Although not his biological daughter, the relationship between them is obvious to all.

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "She made a mistake, so she should pay the price for it. But if possible, please give her a way out... For the rest of my life, I promise that I will never let her do such a thing again."

Zhou Chen has been with Mo Xiao for many years and has never asked for anything. It is rare that he is willing to speak up for Zhou Ruo today.

Mo Xiao didn't want to disappoint his hero, so after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Then let's do as you say."

Zhou Chen was extremely surprised. He looked up at Mo Xiao and said loudly, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

Mo Xiao waved his hand and said calmly: "I'll leave this matter to you. I hope to see the results as soon as possible."

At such a critical moment, he didn't want his harem to be in chaos.

Zhou Chen immediately got up and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."

Zhou Chen had not expected that Mo Xiao would spare Zhou Ruo's life. He just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, and then take Zhou Ruo away so that she could live the rest of her life in peace.

After Zhou Chen came out of Yinghua Palace, he immediately took his men to Zhou Ruo's palace, but he came back empty-handed. Zhou Ruo was not in his palace at all.

After asking around, I found out that Zhou Ruo had taken people to Lan Yin Palace early in the morning.

When Zhou Chen heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly took his men to Lan Yin Palace.

He was anxious, afraid that he would go too late... If Zhou Ruo did something to Lin Jiuqing before he left, then her life would be in danger no matter what, and this was not what Zhou Chen wanted to see.

Zhou Chen led his men to the gate of Lan Yin Palace, but was stopped as soon as he arrived: "Lan Yin Palace, no one is allowed to enter without permission, let alone bring troops in."
