The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 190 1 Everything is under control

Mo Yuchen returned to Prince Luo's Mansion with a very unhappy look on his face. Yi Zhu watched him all the way but didn't dare to ask.

"Call He Yuan and the others back?"

Yizhu didn't understand what Mo Yuchen meant: "Didn't Your Highness send them out to do something just two days ago?"

Mo Yuchen's face was very ugly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

All right! Yizhu didn't dare to ask anymore and hurried to call them back.

The man in black handed a white jade pendant to Mo Yuyang and said, "We have the jade pendant, but we will probably be discovered soon. King Luo will call us all back today."

Mo Yuyang carefully observed the jade pendant in his hand: "Are you sure it's real?"

"Don't worry, I've verified it, it can't be fake." The man in black was very sure. He had got the jade pendant last night and had someone verify it today, so it couldn't be wrong.

Mo Yuyang snorted and laughed, playing with the jade pendant: "You should go back first! Don't let King Luo find out."

The man in black bowed and then retreated.

"Zhuifeng, find a reliable person to check if this jade pendant is real." Mo Yuyang wanted to confirm again and again whether the jade pendant was real.

Mo Yuchen is extremely cunning, and there's no guarantee that he might not be colluding with Xia Yanxiang to deliberately deceive him.

Mo Fuyang didn't know whether Xia Yanxiang had this method, but Mo Fuchen definitely had it.

This is a great opportunity to bring down Mo Yuchen. Mo Yuyang must ensure absolute safety and lethality. This time, the fight between the two will be brought to the surface.

Mo Yuyang will no longer act like a hypocritical brother.

"Yes."

"Your Highness, all four of them are back."

"Greetings, Your Highness." The four of them saluted in unison.

Mo Yuchen put down the document in his hand, his face gloomy: "Yesterday, I discovered that an important item was lost. This matter is of great importance. The four of you should put aside your current affairs for the time being and focus on investigating this matter."

"Yes."

"Besides that," Mo Yuchen stood up and walked forward, "Not only do you have to investigate this matter, but starting today, you will take turns to secretly protect the Third Young Miss."

Since Your Highness said that the lost items are of great importance, why do you want to protect Her Majesty at this critical juncture?

He Yuan and the other three all had this question.

Mo Yuchen walked up to them, looked at their hands carefully, and continued, "Just do as I say. No need to ask why."

"Yes." The four of them saluted again and turned to leave.

Yizhu was still in the study room. He was almost scared to death when he heard Mo Yuchen's order. After He Yuan and the other three had left, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, could it be that jade pendant?"

Mo Yuchen was still staring at the door where the four people left. He didn't say anything, but just nodded.

"!" It turned out to be such a big deal! What's the point of just investigating the whereabouts of the jade pendant now? Shouldn't we report it to the emperor first?

"I will take care of everything." Mo Yuchen turned around and saw Yi Zhu's hesitant expression, and said, "You should be more careful in the future. I'm afraid there is a spy around me."

"Spy? Does Your Highness suspect He Yuan and the others?" Yi Zhu and the four had served Mo Yuchen for many years and could not believe that there would be a spy among them.

Mo Yuchen didn't want to doubt them, but there were only a few people who could contact him, and the most important jade pendant was lost. Mo Yuchen couldn't trust anyone.

Just now, Mo Yuchen carefully checked the wrists of the four people, and there was no redness or swelling as Yanyan said. Could something have gone wrong?

"Keep a close eye on them and see if there is anything unusual about them today." Yi Zhu was the only person Mo Yuchen could trust completely.

"Yes." Yizhu agreed firmly.

"By the way, prepare two visiting cards. One to be sent to General Pu Wei's residence, and one to the Right Prime Minister's residence." Mo Yuchen also had to be prepared for a head-on confrontation with Mo Yuyang.

"Yes."

After Mo Yuchen gave the order, he went to the palace to find Concubine Su at night.

It gets dark early in the north, and now is the coldest time of spring. Mo Yuchen doesn't care about the chilly spring breeze and finds a way to enter Anyue Palace.

Mo Cheng rested in Pengyi Palace today, which made it convenient for Mo Yuchen and Concubine Su to discuss matters.

"Yu An, why are you coming to the palace at this time?" Concubine Su didn't know that Mo Yuchen had given the jade pendant to Xia Yanxiang before, but now looking at Mo Yuchen's solemn expression, Concubine Su keenly discovered that something was wrong and asked Aunt Hua to dismiss everyone in the palace.

"What happened?"

Mo Yuchen looked around and made sure there were no spies, then he said, "Mother, the jade pendant in the national treasury was stolen."

"What?" Concubine Su exclaimed, covered her mouth and stood up, her face suddenly turned ugly, "This jade pendant is so important, how could you be so careless and let someone steal it?"

Mo Yuchen has never been a careless person, especially when it comes to big things, so how could he let the jade pendant be stolen?

"Don't worry, mother. I know this. I just came here to inform you." Mo Yuchen hurriedly came to the palace at night just to pretend to be anxious in front of certain people.

"..." Concubine Su was nervous for nothing and sat back down, "You little brat! Can you talk without panting?"

Concubine Su was almost scared to death by Mo Yuchen. She said, how could Mo Yuchen let the jade pendant be stolen so easily.

"The one who stole the jade pendant is someone close to me. He must be a spy sent by Mo Yuyang and the Queen. I need to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"How do you want to do it?"

"The jade pendant must have fallen into Prince Yuan's hands. Once Prince Yuan confirms it, it is the real national treasury jade pendant. The next step will definitely be to find an opportunity to investigate the national treasury. If it is revealed that I don't have the jade pendant, my father will be furious, and I am afraid I will not be able to escape."

Concubine Su frowned and said, "Since you knew everything, why did you let someone steal the jade pendant?"

"What do you need me to do?" Concubine Su did not question Mo Fuchen's behavior too much. At the same time, she also knew that since Mo Fuchen was not panicked at all, he must have known what was going on.

Mo Yuchen curled his lips slightly: "Mother, just pretend that you don't know about this matter. This matter may not go as Prince Yuan and the Queen want. Father may intervene."

"At that time, mother just pretended to excuse me and let Prince Yuan and the Queen get more and more."

Concubine Su didn't understand what Mo Yuchen was up to, but she had her own considerations: "Yu An, do you know what's going on? Once the treasury is stolen, neither your father nor I can protect you."

"Don't worry, mother. Everything is under control."

Mo Yuchen had already made preparations, but he couldn't tell Concubine Su the whole thing just yet.

That's true. Mo Yuchen never tells Concubine Su and the others everything he wants to do. Concubine Su is used to it.
