Chapter 536 Wei Zhe's Sincerity
Chapter 536 Wei Zhe's Sincerity
Facts have proved that Su Nuan's worries were completely unnecessary. Xun Zheng's surprise attack posed no threat to Wei Zhe. Mu Yunting, Ye Yin, and Chu Qi all saw this clearly.
Xun Zheng's dagger was knocked to the ground, and she was captured firmly by Wei Zhe.
"You evil woman, you actually want to kill me to silence me!"
Wei Zhe said angrily, then turned to look at Mu Yunting and said, "Your Highness, I was bewitched by this woman and almost made a big mistake. Now I have come to my senses and turned back. Please let me live."
Mu Yunting raised his eyes and said coldly: "Whether you live or die depends on your choice."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I am willing to tell you everything I know without leaving out any words."
"Okay, let me ask you a question now."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"Where is the young master of the general's mansion?"
"This... I don't know."
"Just now you said you were willing to tell me everything word for word, but you are unwilling to answer the first question. You are not sincere to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
As soon as Su Nuan spoke in a sarcastic tone, the little bit of good impression Wei Zhe had for her because she stopped Xun Zheng disappeared.
Giving Su Nuan a resentful look, Wei Zhe quickly explained to Mu Yunting: "Your Highness, I really didn't know about this matter. If Concubine Xia hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have known that something happened to the young master of the general's mansion."
Mu Yunting didn't say anything, just looked at Wei Zhe quietly, his aura was really scary.
No one dared to interrupt at this time, even Su Nuan stood aside obediently waiting for the moment when Wei Zhe's defense was broken.
After a long while, a drop of cold sweat slid down Wei Zhe's forehead, and he finally spoke again: "As far as I know, Xun Zheng has been secretly communicating with Prince Yongping. I wonder if the matter of the General's Mansion is related to Prince Yongping."
"Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. I have never had any dealings with Prince Yongping. The affairs of the General's Mansion have nothing to do with me."
Xun Zheng hurriedly opened her mouth to defend herself. Seeing that Mu Yunting's face was full of "disbelief", she continued: "I have no grudges against the general's mansion, so why would I kidnap his young master? This will not benefit me at all. How could I do such a thing!"
Su Nuan couldn't bear to listen any longer, and said to Mu Yunting, "Your Highness, she won't admit what she did. Go check Prince Yongping, okay? There really was contact between them, believe me."
"I believe you, but the emperor's uncle can't kidnap Wen'er."
"Why are you so sure, Your Highness? If Prince Yongping can send someone to kill me, why can't he kidnap Wen'er?"
Mu Yunting thought for a moment and replied, "There is someone else who kidnapped Wen'er. The spies have already found that person's whereabouts. That person will go to Jing'an Temple today and hand Wen'er over to someone else there."
"Your Highness, do you know that Prince Yongping went to Jing'an Temple today?"
"What did you say?"
"Your Highness doesn't know?"
"I was originally going to arrest that man in Jing'an Temple today. When I learned that something happened to you, I came here. You said Yun Shu went to Jing'an Temple?"
Su Nuan nodded.
Mu Yunting frowned and said nothing. After a moment, he suddenly said, "No, let's go to Jing'an Temple."
He had Xun Zheng and Wei Zhe taken to the Dali Temple, while he took Su Nuan to Jing'an Temple.
There are a lot of pilgrims at Jing'an Temple today. I don't know who spread the news that tomorrow is the most prosperous day for Buddhism at Jing'an Temple. Whatever the first pilgrim who burns incense asks for will be granted, many pilgrims come here just to grab the first stick of incense tomorrow morning.
Tracer was a little confused. The spy only said that the contact person would come to Jing'an Temple today, but he didn't say who the contact person was. Now many people came to Jing'an Temple at once. How could he distinguish them?
He couldn't arrest all of them, as most of them had prominent backgrounds. If he arrested them all, they would definitely go to the emperor to file complaints, and then even the emperor would not be able to rest in peace.
Tracer didn't dare to arrest anyone, nor did she dare to let anyone go. He led his men to secretly monitor every move of everyone in Jing'an Temple.
No one else showed any suspicious behavior except the Prince of Yongping. As soon as he arrived at Jing'an Temple, he went straight to the meditation room prepared for pilgrims in the temple. He stayed there for a long time, but didn't see anyone. After drinking a cup of tea, he was about to leave.
As the only suspicious person, if it were someone else, Tracer would have captured him without hesitation, but at this moment Tracer hesitated.
Although Prince Yongping is just an idle prince, he is the younger brother of the current emperor and his identity is sensitive. If the prince of Yongping is arrested by mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But they couldn't just let him go like that, so Tracer sent two people to follow Mu Yunshu.
When Mu Yunting and his men arrived at Jing'an Temple, Mu Yunshu had just left. After hearing Tracer say that he was acting suspiciously, he immediately sent someone to "invite him back."
Su Nuan was frightened a lot today and was very tired when escaping. She is now exhausted.
Mu Yunting asked her to rest first, but she was unwilling.
Liefeng's whereabouts are still unknown, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead. The secret guard who was sent to the wooden house to find Zhao Zong has not returned yet. Su Nuan is also very concerned about Zhao Zong's life or death.
The only thing she didn't care about was Mu Yunting's attitude. It wasn't her fault. Human energy was limited. On the way to Jing'an Temple, she had been thinking about what happened today. Most of the outline of the whole thing had already been figured out, but there were still some things that were not clear.
If Cheng Ji really left that half letter in order to control Prince Yongping, Prince Yongping should have known about it long ago. With his ability to kill Cui Shaoyuan and the original owner, he should have taken action against Cheng Ji long ago, unless he didn't know about the existence of this half letter. But this doesn't make sense!
"Should you tell me something?"
Mu Yunting's words interrupted Su Nuan's thoughts.
At this time, they were the only two left in the room.
Su Nuan looked at Mu Yunting and finally noticed his calm face. She suddenly felt guilty.
