”father, this son requests that you investigate this case together with Fifth Brother.” Crown Prince Mo Lianxuan said.
Originally, he had wanted to use this case to prove to the father. Other than Mo Lianjin and Su Li, he could also do the same.
But this case was too cunning. Not only did he not prove his capabilities, it had also made father angry.
He wasn't willing to accept this.
The Emperor An glanced at Mo Lianxuan, ”We gave you a chance before, but you didn't take it. Regarding the investigation, teach it to fifth brother and Su Li. We don't need to worry.”
”Your son …”
”I'm tired, all of you leave.” Emperor An impatiently pointed his finger and ordered his people to be expelled.
Mo Lianxuan could only bear with it and took the lead to withdraw from the Imperial Study.
However, the Emperor An continued, ”Fifth brother will stay.”
Su Li looked at Mo Lianjin, and could roughly guess that Emperor An was asking about the State Grandmaster, ”I will wait for you outside.”
”Mm, don't think too much about it.” Mo Lianjin replied as if he was pointing something.
Su Li was relieved, with his promise, she believed that he would not report the matter about the State Grandmaster to Emperor An.
After leaving the Imperial Study, Su Li waited outside, with Liu Chongming following by his side, he immediately left.
Within the Imperial Study.
As expected, the Emperor An asked about the State Grandmaster.
”Any clues about him?”
Mo Lianjin replied indifferently, ”No.”
”Incompetent.” Emperor An stood up from his dragon throne and casually picked up a piece of furniture from the table, ”How could such a living person disappear like that? Do you still remember what happened eight years ago and do not take it to heart? ”
Mo Lianjin frowned, ”Since he is no longer the State Grandmaster from eight years ago, what happened eight years ago has nothing to do with him. If there really is a clue about him, I will definitely bring him back.”
When the Emperor An heard this, he sneered. His black eyes fiercely squinted as he said, ”You wish for the word 'State Grandmaster' to disappear from here, don't pretend that I don't know.”
”Is father so suspicious? Why did you order your son to find him? ”
”You …” If it were not for the fact that other people were not trustworthy, and if other people were not that incapable, why would he leave the matter of finding an Imperial Advisor to him? Emperor An was speechless.
”When I think about it, it should be even more urgent than the matter of the missing Imperial Advisor.” Mo Lianjin looked up, meeting the eyes of the Emperor An, who was eating his food, ”The black clothed man who saved the Bei Yue people in the palace that day seemed to be a remnant of his Witch Clan.”
Emperor An's pupils shrank. He had obviously seen that it was a remnant of his Witch Clan, which was why he had sent all of his hidden guards to investigate the matter regarding the Witch Clan.
But the word ”Witch Clan” came out of Mo Lianjin's mouth …
”This son doesn't know too much about Witch Clan. It's just that, the appearance of Witch Clan is related to Bei Yue.
”I will look into this matter. You focus on handling the case. As for the Imperial Advisor, I will send someone to look for him myself.”
”Yes, if there are no other orders, this son will take his leave.”
”You may leave.” Emperor An waved his sleeves, and sat down powerlessly on the dragon throne, just in time to see Mo Lianjin's face.
Mo Lianjin stood still and turned around.
”Is the blood letter that your mother left behind still there?”
Mo Lianjin went silent, ”He's still here.”
”Next time you enter the palace, bring the blood letter with you.”
Mo Lianjin slightly nodded, and did not answer. He turned around again, and left with steps that were even heavier than before.
Emperor An watched as he left, and he raised his hand to rub his glabella.
Recently, things had really become more and more chaotic. The State Grandmaster, Witch Clan, Bei Yue, and even Dong Qing.
Mo Lianjin came out of the Imperial Study but did not see Su Li. Only Liu Chongming was still waiting outside.
