The young man's eyes were full of urgent expectation, burning into Mo Qin's heart like a torch.

Mo Qin paused and said, "But I don't know where the prince put the secret message."

At this time, Qiu Si said: "According to reliable information, the prince always hides confidential files and letters in the secret room of the study. And Eunuch Mo, you are the only person in the East Palace who can freely enter and exit the study. It's up to you to do this. It couldn’t have been a better fit.”

Cui Qiu then said: "Mo Qin, this matter is related to the survival of Lingxi Palace and the entire Qiu family, as well as my great cause and the redress of my mother and concubine. Can you help me?" He stepped forward and held Mo Qin's wrist. There was sincerity in his eyes.

This was the first time in so many years that Cui Qiu spoke to Mo Qin in an almost pleading tone.But it was for such a difficult and dangerous task.

Steal confidential letters from Cui Yuzhen's study, unless you really don't want to live anymore!

But when it comes to Cui Qiu, Mo Qin has never been able to refuse.

They didn't ponder for too long when they heard him say firmly: "Your Highness's ambition is also the servant's ambition. I hope that Your Highness can be honored as a great treasure and redress the grievances of the Qiu family and Concubine Shu. In this way, my servant can die in peace."

"I obey your orders!" He bowed solemnly without any resentment.

After Cui Qiu heard this, there was a moment of hesitation in his eyes.

How could he not know the danger of this matter? Even if Mo Qin could successfully steal the secret message, he would inevitably be found out by the prince afterwards.And what will Cui Yuzhen do to those who betray him...

Qiu Si nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Your Highness and I will remember Eunuch Mo's loyalty forever. When you steal the secret message, leave it in the same place, and someone will come to pick it up."

They had no intention of taking Mo Qin away with them after the incident was completed.Based on the strength of Lingxi Palace, the most they can do is take away a piece of paper in the corner, but not a single person.

In other words, this matter was about sacrificing the chess piece Mo Qin from the beginning.

Mo Qin certainly knew this.

When parting, the little eunuch lowered his hands respectfully to say goodbye.His attitude was pious and humble, and he showed no trace of fear or regret.Like a moth that is willing to be sacrificed, it extinguishes the flames with its body without any regrets.

His expression was resolute, just like when he came to the palace alone many years ago, taking care of the little "Prisoner Cui" without complaint, and told him with firm eyes: "Your mother-in-law, Concubine Shu, must have been framed by others. You are the great concubine." The prince of the Li Kingdom and the blood of the Qiu family must keep his spirits up. One day, he can vindicate Concubine Shu and the Qiu family!"

In the East Palace at night, everything seems unreal.

Cui Qiu turned his head and took one last look at the brother who had been with him for many years. His eyes seemed a little moist.

Then, a figure disappeared in the night.

----

Return to the temple.The prince hasn't come back yet.

The system had just watched everything and finally asked: "Host, do you really plan to steal the secret message for the fifth prince?"

The corner of Mo Qin's lips moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Do you have a better choice?"

Seeing the cruel smile on his face, the system felt a numbness in his back, and immediately said sternly: "This male protagonist has gone too far. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be alive today. But now he wants you to die. What an ungrateful white-eyed wolf who repays kindness with revenge!"

Mo Qin glanced at it and said, "Why are you angry with me today? This is not like your style."

System: It’s not because of your power!

But he said to Mo Qin: "The host has forgotten, I said I am on your side, of course I will fight for you. But don't be too sad, even if you are really killed by Cui Yuzhen in advance, We’ll watch the ending right away. I have a hunch that the rating will definitely be very high this time!”

Mo Qin sneered and said: "I may not die yet. Let's take a gamble. If I lose, I admit defeat. If I win, haha."

What he said was so confusing that only the last cold voice made the system feel relieved again----

Thinking of the various naughty operations of the hosts in the first two worlds, the system couldn't help but worry and thought: Could it be that the host is planning to crash the plot again?

Although the plot had already crashed in an indescribable direction when the prince forcibly made a deal with Mo Qin to sacrifice his life, there was generally no problem.

I couldn't help but pray in my heart: I hope the host will be merciful and stop causing trouble.I hope that the male protagonist can successfully ascend the throne in the end and not die in the middle.I hope the rating can be higher this time so I can level up...

----

To the system's surprise, Mo Qin was both obedient and dedicated this time.

Without much hesitation, he went to the prince's study and found the secret compartment next to the bookshelf. He took out a secret letter with the name of Jiangnan Salt Governor, and one night he sneaked to the southeast corner of the wall and put the secret letter on it. Let it go.

Things went very smoothly, which is completely understandable - after all, it was a major matter related to the male protagonist, and God would naturally make a way for his own son.

But what made the system feel strange and gratified was that Mo Qin actually did exactly what Cui Qiu said without making any mistakes in the process.

Could it be that the host finally accepted his fate?Are you going to follow the plot well and get high scores?

But in a few years, it will be beating its chest for its naivety at the moment----

Don't believe that Mo Qin will just lie down and let the hammer go.He is still the same prickly guy, without any change!

----

The day after the secret message was handed over, it was made public in front of the emperor and ministers at the Jinluan Palace.

The above is not evidence that Cui Qiu colluded with the salt governor of Jiangnan, but a detailed record of the private salt industry that the prince used to make money in the Jiangnan area!

The crown prince of a country has a hand so long that it reaches south of the Yangtze River.They even engaged in private salt trading, which was prohibited by the imperial court!Putting it on any civilian or official is a serious crime of decapitation!

When a prince breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people.

When the prince saw the confidential details being displayed, his eyes showed great shock.This shock was even worse than when he was assassinated as a child.

But he quickly adjusted his mentality and argued with the person who presented the evidence.The princeling officials and ministers also tried their best to defend him.

For a time, there was a lot of noise in the court.

In the end, Cui Yuanjue even summoned the Jinyi Guards to maintain the situation.

The prince's smuggling of salt was handed over to Dali Temple for investigation and trial.

Because the prince showed his gold medal to avoid death, he was exempted from the treatment of being sent to the prison to await trial.

However, when he walked out of the Jinluan Palace, there was a strong aura of hostility surrounding him.His usually calm and gentle temperament was gone, and he was like a fierce ghost that seemed to be able to strangle anyone who came close.

Even his close friends who were usually close friends with him did not dare to come forward to discuss personal matters with him. They could only wait for a few days for him to calm down before discussing.

----

When this incident reached Mo Qin's ears, his heart was shaken.I soon understood----

His Highness the Fifth Prince lied to him.

Cui Qiu told him the style of the letter and the words on the cover, so he couldn't have gotten it wrong.

Therefore, the truth of the matter is that Cui Qiu was afraid that if he stayed in the East Palace for a long time, his heart would begin to favor Cui Yuzhen, and he would not want to harm the prince with them.That's why he compiled the story that the prince intercepted the secret letter in order to expose the fifth prince's lies. In fact, he just didn't believe him.

Mo Qin understood everything almost as soon as he heard the whole story.

But he still behaved very calmly, and he didn't even have much trouble in his heart.

Instead, he calmly turned around and ordered the flustered Ling Su: "Go and make a pot of tea. Your Highness will be thirsty when he comes back later and will need it."

----

The first thing Cui Yuzhen did after returning to the palace was to go straight to the study and look through the letters in the secret compartment. He found that the letter sent by Jiangnan Salt Governor was indeed missing.

He understood immediately, veins popped up on his forehead, disbelief and raging anger in his eyes complemented each other, and he rushed to the dormitory in a hurry.

When Mo Qin saw him coming in, he held up a cup of tea and offered it to him: "Your Highness, please have a cup of tea first..."

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Cui Yuzhen stretched out her right hand and slapped him hard on the face without any resistance.

Mo Qin was beaten to the ground, and his left cheek immediately turned red.All the tea splashed onto my hand, causing a rash-like mark.

Cui Yu was really angry, and when he slapped him, he even showed some internal martial arts power that no one had ever shown before.

Mo Qin was beaten so hard that his ears were ringing and his nose was bleeding.But he still stood up silently and knelt straight in front of him.

He looked resigned.

Cui Yuzhen no longer had his usual calmness and indifference, and his tone was cruel and ferocious, saying: "I didn't expect that the person I raised alone for three years turned out to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! Do you really think I can't let you go?!"

"Get out! Go kneel outside the palace until you die!"
