Royal palace

The King of Chu looked at Chu Mohan and then at the Queen, hoping that the two of them would say something, but they pretended not to have seen anything and drank tea leisurely.

Then he looked at Concubine Qin.

Concubine Qin: I don't know anything! She lowered her head and admired her nails.

The King of Chu looked at his most beloved woman, Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou did respond to him, but her tearful look made him feel a little distressed.

As for his other son, Chu Moyao, there was a hint of gloating in his eyes, which made him very angry.

Not to mention the others, they were all frightened and pale, as useless as they could be.

King of Chu: Is this the lonely man?

The ministers below looked at their wives, sons, and daughters with sharp eyes, all trying to confirm one thing, that is, whether the princess's fainting had anything to do with them!

Now they don't dare to complain about being under house arrest, they just hope that this matter has nothing to do with them.

"What did you do when you went out just now?"

Prime Minister Qin looked at his daughter, feeling anxious.

"Why do you ask that, father?"

Qin Yuru was a little confused.

"Yu Ru, tell your father the truth, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Prime Minister Qin did not beat around the bush and asked in a low voice.

"Father!"

Qin Yuru was shocked. "Why would you ask that?"

"My daughter just went out to get some fresh air. Besides, she is the Regent Princess. How dare my daughter harm her?"

Qin Yuru felt so happy at the moment, but she pretended to be surprised on her face.

Qin Xiang stared at her for a while. She didn't seem to be lying, but he still felt something was wrong.

"Well, it's good for you to know that the Regent is not someone we can afford to offend."

Prime Minister Qin could only give this reminder.

"Don't worry, father. Your daughter knows."

Qin Yuru nodded obediently.

It was dark as they waited, and everyone's hearts gradually sank to the bottom.

They were all afraid that the man would kill them all in a rage.

Especially the King of Chu, all the emotions in his heart could no longer be suppressed at this moment.

Fear, regret, anger...

"Tell me, who is it? Who gave you the courage to even harm the Regent Princess?"

"Your Majesty, we are innocent!"

"Your Majesty, we are innocent!"

When the ministers heard this, they immediately stood up and ran to the center of the hall, knelt on the ground, and cried out that they were innocent!

"Your Majesty, let's wait for the Regent to interrogate us personally."

The queen couldn't bear it any longer and spoke softly.

"Queen, do you think the Regent will be angry with me?"

The King of Chu asked hurriedly.

Queen: “…….”

It's already this late and he's still thinking about herself. She shouldn't have said this.

"Alas, what a sin! The matter of the Duke of Zhenguo is not over yet, and something like this happened again."

"Someone is deliberately trying to destroy Nanchu!

The King of Chu suddenly felt that he had aged a lot.

But there is someone who is even more pitiful than them, and that is Chu Mo Nan.

Throughout the whole day, no one even brought him food.

At this moment his stomach started to growl again.

"Come here, is there anyone?"

"The Fifth Prince is starving to death!"

"Please bring me some food!"

"Someone is coming..."

Chu Mo Nan shouted at the top of his lungs, but unfortunately, no one heard him.

There was no one outside, not even a bird.

But the door was locked tightly.

After shouting for a long time without getting any response, Chu Mo Nan ran to the door angrily and started slamming it hard.

Shaking the door frantically.

Then he ran to the window, slapped, pulled, and smashed...

After all the trouble, he was so tired that he fell to the ground, feeling a little disappointed.

Now he was sure that there was no one outside.

Chu Mo Nan sat on the ground helplessly, feeling angry and helpless.

Suddenly, he noticed the skylight on the roof and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

He struggled to move a chair, stood on it, and tried to see what was happening outside through the skylight.

However, when he climbed onto the chair, he discovered that the skylight was also locked.

Chu Mo Nan sat back in his chair in frustration, thinking about what to do next.

Just then, he heard a slight noise outside the door, as if someone was unlocking it.

He stood up excitedly, expecting the door to open.

However, after waiting for a while, the door was not opened, and silence returned.

Chu Mo Nan felt a sense of despair. He leaned against the wall and slid down to the ground.

"Is this an illusion caused by hunger?"

Chu Mo Nan muttered weakly.

"That Rakshasa isn't trying to starve me to death, is he?"

Thinking of this, Chu Mo Nan felt a chill all over his body.

The more Chu Mo'nan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he decided not to just sit there and wait for death.

He picked up a stool and smashed it against the door. Finally, after smashing it seventy-nine times, there was a "bang" and the two doors fell to the ground.

Chu Mo Nan slipped out immediately. He hid in the dark and observed the movements around him, but found that there was not even a guard around.

"What's going on? Where are the people?"

At this moment, he was full of question marks and had no idea what was going on.

"Never mind, let's go eat first."

Chu Mo Nan touched his flat belly and walked towards the imperial kitchen.

However, the closer they got to the imperial kitchen, the more guards there were, and Chu Mo Nan was stunned.

I don't understand when the imperial kitchen became so important that it needs to be heavily guarded.

But he was so hungry that he didn't care about anything else and wanted to sneak in to find something to eat.

Perhaps God didn't want him to get his wish, and he was caught by the guards as soon as he reached the corner.

"Hey, let me go. Look carefully, I am the fifth prince!"

His two arms were twisted behind his back, and Chu Mo Nan immediately grimaced in pain.

The guard said nothing and took Chu Mo Nan to a palace.

Chu Mo Nan looked carefully and was surprised. Why are there so many people?

And the person standing at the door looks so familiar. Hey, isn’t this the one who broke into his room this morning?

Before Chu Mo Nan could even say hello, he was stunned by Shadow's next words.

"Is this the murderer?"

"Your Excellency, we were ordered to guard the imperial kitchen, and we happened to see the fifth prince secretly preparing to sneak in."

One of the guards said truthfully.

Chu Mo Nan: "?"

What the hell? I just wanted to eat, how did you become a murderer?

When Concubine Rou inside heard this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Beloved concubine?"

The King of Chu's heart was completely cold at this moment.

I originally thought it was just a matter concerning the Duke of Zhenguo, and there might still be a glimmer of hope if I begged him kindly.

Now that they have offended that evil star, their good days are completely over.

"Hey, what murderer? Can you explain it clearly?"

Chu Mo Nan asked rather unconvincedly.
