"Miss Bai, are you looking for me?" Chen Mo quietly appeared in Tingyuxuan, looked at the bright back, and said respectfully.
"Commander Chen." Bai Yiyi turned around, smiled coquettishly, her eyes dimmed slightly, "I came to you to ask about the prince. Is he injured in any way? You know, the prince is.
He won't tell me anything difficult, but I'm worried about him."
"Don't worry, miss, the prince is fine," Chen Mo said.
"Commander Chen." A trace of hesitation flashed across Bai Yiyi's face, she pursed her lips tightly and said slowly, "Did the prince come back early?"
Chen Mo paused slightly and looked at Bai Yiyi, looking up at him with flashing eyes, with a little expectation.
Chen Mo nodded and said nothing.
Bai Yiyi's heart sank.
"Miss Bai, the prince has no choice but to do so." Chen Mo paused as something flashed through his heart.
"I understand." Bai Yiyi nodded gently, lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips without saying a word.
He had come back a long time ago, but he had been with Su Ranhua, hiding it from everyone, even her.
Such an important thing was hidden from her!
Did he ever think about her feelings? Did he ever think that she would worry about him? When he was with Su Ranhua, did he ever think about her?!
Is there any unavoidable reason to hide it from her? Even if Chen Mo tells her the truth secretly, it's okay not to make her worry. Will she still leak the secret for him and affect what he wants to do?
Bai Yiyi was silent, with a hurt look on her face, but her heart was surging like a river.
"Commander Chen." Bai Yiyi slowly raised her head and looked at Chen Mo with twinkling eyes, "Is the death of Imperial Doctor Liu related to the prince?"
"This..." Chen Mo looked at Bai Yiyi's injured expression and felt a little embarrassed. He could understand Bai Yiyi's sadness when she knew that Ximen Hao was hiding with Su Ranhua safely, but he didn't want to deceive her.
When Ximen Hao and Su Ranhua returned to the palace, his whereabouts in the past few days no longer need to be kept a secret, as long as the place of Mingyue Tower is not revealed.
But regarding the death of Imperial Doctor Liu, Chen Mo didn't know what to say to Bai Yiyi. The prince forced an old doctor to die in order to save a woman who had hurt him. How could this make Bai Yiyi, who had a deep love for him, feel so sad?
Bai Yiyi followed Chen Mo's hesitation and got the answer. Sure enough, the death of Imperial Doctor Liu was related to Ximen Hao!
But, how much truth does Ximen Hao know?
Bai Yiyi was very worried. She took a deep breath secretly, adjusted her nervousness, and continued to ask, "In order to save the princess, did the prince force Dr. Liu to die and lie? What he did was a bit excessive."
"The prince will be kind to Dr. Liu's family." Chen Mo said, "He will take over all responsibilities and help the prince. The prince will remember his kindness."
Bai Yiyi secretly analyzed Chen Mo's words. Doctor Liu took all the responsibilities, which means that he did not tell the truth of that day, and all the faults were borne by him alone?
"Doctor Liu admitted that he made a misdiagnosis that day?" Bai Yiyi asked cautiously, paying attention to every detail of Chen Mo's expression.
"Yes, this is what the prince asked me to do." Chen Mo nodded.
In other words, it was Chen Mo who was talking to Imperial Physician Liu from beginning to end, and Ximen Hao did not interfere?
Bai Yiyi looked at Chen Mo's affirmative answer. There was no trace of panic in his eyes, which meant that he was not lying or hiding anything.
Based on Bai Yiyi's understanding of Chen Mo over the years, this guard commander who was loyal to Ximen Hao only knew how to act according to orders, but would not lie. Especially every time he spoke to her, he was straightforward and unabashed.
Therefore, Bai Yiyi found out a lot about Ximen Hao from Chen Mo.
"I understand," Bai Yiyi paused and said without asking any more questions, "I will burn more paper money for Dr. Liu on behalf of the prince to make him feel better over there."
Chen Mo stood straight on the spot, not knowing what to say.
Bai Yiyi saw hesitation in Chen Mo's eyes, as if there was something unsaid.
What else could happen? Bai Yiyi was slightly frightened.
"Commander Chen, do you have something to tell me?" Bai Yiyi asked Chen Mo directly.
"Miss Bai." Chen Mo thought for a while and seemed to have made a decision. He looked around and lowered his voice, "You don't have to worry about the prince. Doctor Liu is not dead. He has been sent to a safe place by the prince to spend his old age.
"
Boom! Bai Yiyi's head is about to explode.
She originally thought that Doctor Liu went to the underworld with a secret, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a fake death arranged by Ximen Hao, which meant that he might still face Ximen Hao, and the secret was at risk of being leaked.
If Ximen Hao knew that Su Ranhua's pregnancy date was wrong and she was secretly causing trouble, that would be troublesome.
Chen Mo thought Bai Yiyi was surprised, and continued, "Although the prince ordered his subordinates to force Dr. Liu to change his story, he promised that after Dr. Liu did as he said, he would let him stay away from the capital and would not let Dr. Liu really die. So Miss Bai
There’s no need to worry about the prince’s affairs.”
Chen Mo thought that Bai Yiyi would be relieved by telling him that Dr. Liu was not dead, and would not be affected by Ximen Hao's behavior. But little did he know that his words would plunge Bai Yiyi into another panic.
"Where is Doctor Liu now?" Bai Yiyi asked, seeming a little curious.
Chen Mo shook his head. He really didn't know. He was only responsible for transporting Dr. Liu, who had faked his death, out of the capital. He didn't know Ximen Hao's subsequent arrangements. However, their subordinates only followed orders and did not ask each other. This was the rule.
"It's okay." Seeing that Bai Yiyi couldn't get anything out of the question, she smiled nonchalantly and said, "I feel relieved knowing this. Thank you, Commander Chen."
When Chen Mo saw Bai Yiyi's sweet smile, he felt a little dazed for a moment. He had seen this smile for many years and it was deeply engraved in his mind, but every time he saw it, it would make him feel a little panicked.
"I resign." Chen Mo knew that he had no reason to stay, so he respectfully resigned.
"Well, go away, Commander Chen." Bai Yiyi nodded.
Every move she made was so gentle and polite.
After Chen Mo left, Bai Yiyi put her hands in her sleeves and paced back and forth, her brows slightly furrowed and her eyes grim.
Su Ranhua was brought back to the palace by Ximen Hao, and the relationship between the two was unexpectedly close. She must find a way to prevent her from having such an easy time.
Ximen Hao left Su Ranhua in Mo Yaxuan and came to the study alone. He looked at Butler Lin who was standing aside with his hands hanging down and remained silent for a long time.
Butler Lin's scalp was numb from being stared at by Ximen Hao. He is so old, but he has encountered such a thing. He is really not safe at this late age!
"Your Majesty," Butler Lin felt very uncomfortable. After spending a moment with Ximen Hao, he decided to let him speak first. He hesitated and said, "I have asked the maid to go to Moyaxuan to light the brazier. Moyaxuan has not been here for a long time.
There are people living in it, and it is very cold. The old slave asked them to have more children, so as not to freeze the princess."
