The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

"Man proposes, God disposes. Anyone with a little common sense will know to wait a little longer. Why are you so anxious?" Mo Cheng smiled faintly. "What did he say?"

Eunuch Li guessed Mo Cheng's thoughts and replied vaguely, "I think he was very angry."

Mo Cheng said nothing more and continued to review the memorials silently.

After two days, although Xia Yanxiang's reputation was not ruined by the beggars at that time, Xia Zhibai did not get anything out of those people. Later, Mo Yuchen took the person away and said he would interrogate her personally.

Xia Yanxiang stayed in her room for two days. Tu, Marquis Wu'an, and people from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion came to visit her, but Xia Yanxiang declined them all. She just stayed there quietly, not seeing anyone.

It was not until the third day that Xia Yanxiang came out of the room on her own initiative.

Xia Zhibai and Li Shi were extremely worried, but when they saw Xia Yanxiang come out safely, they felt relieved. However, when Xia Zhibai told Xia Yanxiang that those people had been taken away by Mo Yuchen, he was still worried about Xia Yanxiang.

Fortunately, Xia Yanxiang seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and also forgot the shock she had that day: "It's okay, I also need to go to His Royal Highness Luo Wang's residence to thank him, then I can go and see those people, maybe I can find a way to find out about this matter."

Only then did Xia Zhibai feel relieved and nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, the Third Miss is here. She said she came to thank you for saving her life."

Mo Yuchen was not surprised. This was about the time he expected. He nodded and responded to Butler Wang, then ordered: "Ask the kitchen to prepare some desserts and snacks, and send them to the study in half a quarter of an hour."

"Yes." Although Butler Wang was a little confused, he didn't ask anything and agreed.

After a while, Xia Yanxiang was led to the study by Yizhu.

"Your servant Xia Yanxiang greets His Royal Highness Prince Luo." After Xia Yanxiang came in, she did not show any curious reaction, but kept her eyes down, as if she was not interested at all.

The one who came with Xia Yanxiang today was Yu Kui. Yu Kui was also a cautious person. This was her first time coming to Prince Luo's Mansion, but like Xia Yanxiang, she kept her head down the whole time.

Mo Yuchen winked at Yizhu and said to Xia Yanxiang, "Miss Third, you don't have to be polite."

Yizhu understood and turned to Xia Yanxiang and said, "Miss San, please sit down."

Xia Yanxiang nodded, but did not sit down. Instead, she took the box from Yukui and said to Mo Yuchen, "Two days ago, thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Luo for helping me, I was frightened and did not thank His Royal Highness Prince Luo. Please forgive me. This is a small token of my appreciation. I saw that His Royal Highness Prince Luo seemed to be a little irritated recently, so I made some tea bags for you without permission."

Mo Yuchen's eyes flashed with joy, but he hid it. He coughed lightly and said, "Miss Third, you don't have to be polite. It's just that Miss Third should have known that the people at that time didn't find out anything, so Xiao Wang couldn't help much."

Having said that, Mo Yuchen still let Yizhu accept the things.

Speaking of which, the reason why Mo Yuchen was so angry was because of the series of events in recent days. Xia Yanxiang was poisoned, Xia Pinxiang was married to Prince Yuan as his concubine, and Xia Yanxiang was attacked again. One thing after another, how could he not be anxious and angry?

"Your Highness Prince Luo, you are joking. If you had not arrived in time, my reputation would have been ruined."

Mo Yuchen didn't feel that there was anything to be thankful for in this matter. Instead, he had been feeling scared for the past two days. If his people hadn't discovered Mo Yuyang's people that day, he would have regretted it deeply.

"Miss Third, please sit down first!" Mo Yuchen put down the document in his hand and did not mention this matter again. Instead, he talked about another matter, "Miss Third, do you want to interrogate those people? Maybe you have seen them before."

Xia Yanxiang came here for this purpose. Since Mo Yuchen had already brought it up, she simply agreed directly: "This is what I am thinking."

The feeling of coincidence is indeed comforting. Mo Yuchen's eyes flashed with undisguised admiration: "Then let's go!"

There is a separate and hidden underground cell in Prince Luo's Mansion, where those people have been kept since they were brought here by Mo Yuchen.

But it was an underground cell after all, dark, gloomy and damp.

"Tattatata..." Yizhu led the way in front, and Xia Yanxiang followed behind Mo Yuchen.

"Some tortures were used. Although they were not fatal, they were still bloody. Third Miss, you..." Mo Yuchen seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xia Yanxiang shook her head without showing any fear, her face as usual: "Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Luo. After all, I am already an adult. Some things will have to be faced sooner or later."

Mo Yuchen didn't say anything else, but turned his head with a complicated expression.

"Your Highness, Third Miss, we're here."

What came into view was an extremely dirty cell with a strong smell of blood. Xia Yanxiang had already smelled it when she came in, but she had never said anything. Now that she was in the torture room, the smell of blood was too strong for her and made her stomach uncomfortable. She had to hold it in and not vomit.

Mo Yuchen didn't notice it, but signaled Yizhu to splash water on the man to wake him up.

After a bucket of water was poured down, the people lying on the ground gradually reacted.

Although Xia Yanxiang had only seen this person once in her previous life, the situation was urgent at the time, forcing Xia Yanxiang to remember this person firmly, but she did not take the initiative to speak at this time.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Awake?" When it came to interrogating people like this, Mo Yuchen was no longer the polite person he was in front of Xia Yanxiang, but looked like a real black-bellied prince.

However, Xia Yanxiang was still beside him, so Mo Yuchen did not indulge himself too much. He waited until the man sobered up a little before asking, "Do you recognize this person?"

The man raised his head and looked at Xia Yanxiang. He knew who it was, but pretended not to recognize her and lowered his head again.

Although he didn't say anything, Xia Yanxiang and Mo Yuchen both knew that he must have recognized her. Mo Yuchen didn't bother to argue with him: "Since I have captured you, it must not be for no reason. Even if you don't tell me, I know your origins."

The man still didn't speak.

"Your Highness, this man is like a mute. He hasn't said a word for such a long time. Even when he was tortured, it was still the same. Could he be a mute?" Yizhu really thought this man was strange. He hadn't spoken a word for such a long time.

Mo Yuchen snorted, "Mute? If he was mute, how could he convince those people to intercept the Third Miss? He is so patient, it seems that the person behind him is very good at raising assassins!"

After hearing the word "death soldier", the man lying on the ground finally reacted.
