Faced with his mother's questioning, Chu Mo Nan was suddenly speechless. He was just afraid of meeting that woman.

In Concubine Rou's eyes, his silence was equivalent to confirming what she was thinking.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing else to ask for in my life. Now I only ask that Your Majesty please do not abandon Nan'er in the future, okay?"

Whenever Concubine Rou thought of the fate of Concubine Qin and her son, her heart sank.

The King of Chu looked at his son.

Chu Mo Nan looked at his father.

Both of them were becoming more and more confused. One didn't know what trouble his son had gotten into, and the other didn't know what he had done wrong!

"Rebellious son, what on earth have you done? Look how angry you made your mother."

The King of Chu roared again.

"I have done nothing wrong, please forgive me, father!"

Chu Mo Nan also knelt on the ground and said stubbornly.

Seeing his look, the King of Chu couldn't help but waver. Could it be that he was really wronged?

"My dear, is there any misunderstanding?"

"My lord, there is no misunderstanding."

Concubine Rou said affirmatively, and then looked at Chu Mo Nan, "Are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"

Chu Mo Nan: “…….”

"Okay, in that case, then Mother can't help you either."

After saying this, Concubine Rou closed her eyes with disappointment on her face.

Chu Mo Nan: “…….”

"Mother asks you, do you not want to attend the palace banquet?"

Concubine Rou asked in a deep voice.

Chu Mo Nan: "Yes."

"You're not going because you're afraid."

Concubine Rou asked again.

Chu Mo Nan: "Yes."

This should also be considered fear!

"Are you afraid because you are involved in the poisoning of the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Concubine Rou asked again.

Chu Mo Nan: "Yes..., what?"

Chu Mo Nan came to his senses after answering subconsciously, his eyes widened in horror.

"Mother, what are you talking about? You can't say such things carelessly!"

Chu Mo Nan quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This is really his mother!

How dare they put the blame on him?

Do you think he is too lucky?

"Chu Mo Nan, at this point, you still want to quibble!" Concubine Rou pointed at Chu Mo Nan with great anguish.

Chu Mo Nan kept kowtowing, "I really don't know. This has nothing to do with me!"

"Mother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

"If you do this, your son's life will be in danger!"

Chu Mo Nan really felt that he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"My dear, do you have any evidence?"

The King of Chu was so frightened that he almost ran away, and asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, think about it, he is so unwilling to attend the palace banquet, isn't it because he is afraid of exposing his true colors?"

Concubine Rou glanced at Chu Mo Nan and asked, "Besides the poisoning of the Duke of Zhenguo, is there anything else going on recently?"

The King of Chu immediately felt that there was some truth in what she said.

Chu Mo Nan: Mother, listen to me and say thank you!

"Father, Mother, I swear on my life that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me."

Seeing that King Chu was gradually persuaded, Chu Mo Nan suddenly became anxious.

At this time, a eunuch hurried over and whispered a few words in the ear of the King of Chu.

King Chu's expression turned very ugly. He stared at Chu Mo Nan as if he was about to spit fire.

"You evil creature, how dare you do such a heinous thing!" the King of Chu shouted angrily.

Chu Mo Nan looked bewildered, "Father, I really don't know what happened..."

"The Regent just sent someone to report that he found evidence of poisoning, pointing to you!"

The King of Chu's voice was full of anger and disappointment.

Chu Mo Nan was struck by lightning, "How...how is this possible? Someone must have framed me!"

Concubine Rou was crying silently. She had originally hoped that Chu Mo Nan would be honest with her, but she didn't expect things to develop to this point.

"The Regent has ordered that he must interrogate you personally!" The King of Chu was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him twice.

Chu Mo Nan: “…….”

"Come here, place the fifth prince under house arrest in the palace, and no one is allowed to approach!"

At an order, the guards came forward and took Chu Mo Nan away. Chu Mo Nan even forgot to struggle. He really didn't understand how such a surprise could fall on him.

"Nan'er..."

Concubine Rou could only murmur softly, her tears streaming down uncontrollably.

The King of Chu held her in his arms with heartache and patted her back gently to comfort her.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

The news that Chu Mo'nan was under house arrest quickly spread in the palace.

Chu Mo Nan was locked in the room, his mind in a mess.

He didn't understand why the Regent suddenly accused him of poisoning. It was clearly a conspiracy.

He recalled some strange signs from before, as if someone was deliberately leading him to make mistakes.

But at this moment, he was behind bars and unable to find out the truth.

Just as he was racking his brains to no avail, a mysterious shadow quietly sneaked into his room...

"who are you?"

Chu Mo Nan looked at the person who came with a wary look on his face.

"Fifth Prince, don't be nervous. I am Shadow, and I am here on the orders of my princess."

That’s right, this person is Shadow.

"Who is your princess?"

Chu Mo Nan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Hasn't the Fifth Prince already guessed it?"

Shadow looked at him with a half-smile.

Shadow: “…”

I couldn't escape it after all!

"I have something to say!"

Chu Mo'nan was about to explain when Shadow waved his hand to interrupt him.

"The Fifth Prince wants to say that you were not the one who poisoned him, right?"

Chu Mo Nan: “…….”

Is that woman so powerful? He knows everything she is thinking!

"Fifth Prince, don't be surprised, because the princess knows that this matter has nothing to do with you."

Shadow kindly explained.

Chu Mo Nan: “…….”

At this moment he was so excited that he almost cried, and he felt so aggrieved that he wanted to go crazy!

This is a joke on him!

He touched his still sore buttocks and instantly gained courage. "If that's the case, then why did you tell father that I was the one who poisoned him?"

As a result, he got kicked twice for nothing.

"Fifth Prince, the princess has her own reasons for doing this. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can ask her in person when the time comes."

Shadow looked as if he had nothing to say.

Chu Mo Nan was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could do nothing about it.

If he were to go and ask that Rakshasa, he would not dare to do so even if he had ten times the courage!

"Okay, I have delivered my message. Prince Five, just stay here and relax."

Shadow said, looked at him with some sympathy, and then disappeared on the spot.

Chu Mo Nan: “…….”
