At the same time, Pei Yuanzhi was locked in a secret room, with shackles on his hands and feet. The reason why King Wu did not interrogate directly was because he could see that Pei Yuanzhi was a soft bone, and he was scared for a few days, and when the time came, he would naturally ask and answer, and the whereabouts of the jade key would be there.

Pei Yuanzhi in the secret room was naturally afraid, for fear that he would be dragged out and killed directly, under normal circumstances, he would be severely interrogated if he was locked up, but no one interrogated him, but it made him feel unsteady.

Just when Pei Yuanzhi was beating the wall to vent his uneasiness, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and King Wu walked into the secret room and met his gaze.

"How are you staying here?"

"Your Highness, I don't want to live here! Whatever you want to know, I'll be honest with you! ”

Seeing that the strategy was effective, King Wu nodded with great satisfaction, and asked loudly after taking a few steps closer.

"Have you ever seen a piece of jade in your house? That thing is very important to this king, and it is better to tell you everything you know, otherwise the consequences will ...... You know. ”

The consequence is nothing more than death, Pei Yuanzhi hasn't lived enough, so naturally he doesn't want to die here, in order to find a way to live for himself, he poured beans into the bamboo tube and explained everything.

"My father liked jade when he was alive and collected a lot, if it is said that the style is unique, there are so few. My father once gave a piece of jade to my mother, and my mother put it in the top layer of her wardrobe. There is also a piece of jade of good color, in the dark compartment of the corner of the storehouse, the dark compartment is blocked by a wooden box, and the box can only be seen when the box is removed. ”

Pei Yuanzhi didn't know what King Wu was looking for at all, so he just tried to tell what he knew, and King Wu sent someone to rummage through Pei's house, but he couldn't find anything useful.

King Wu was annoyed and returned to the palace to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, while Duanmu Yu walked in silently, and only reported in a low voice after hesitating for a long time.

"Your Highness, someone came to the palace just now, saying that the emperor was angry and asked you to step up the investigation."

It was a matter of victory, but it is getting more and more complicated, and now that the emperor is urging, it seems that there will be no turnaround.

King Wu let out a long breath, poured a sip of wine, and replied without raising his head.

"What else to investigate, just find a scapegoat."

Things have come to this point, the secret of the jade key is close at hand, and it is a pity to give up at this time, Duanmu Yu took a few steps forward and explained loudly.

"Your Highness, the Pei family must know the whereabouts of the jade key, we have taken so much trouble to find this clue of the Pei family, and it will be a failure to give up at this moment."

After all, it was not he Duanmu Yu who was urged, as a strategist, he was only thinking about how to achieve a certain goal under the plan, how to let his master get more benefits.

And King Wu, as a royal family, originally had a lot to consider, but now that he has lost the clue, he is also the one who is most anxious. Listening to Duanmu Yu's advice, King Wu immediately raised his hand and threw out a wine glass, roaring angrily.

"Keep investigating, and you'll be sure you won't fall short! I didn't give you enough time? If you fight for me, I found the secret of the jade key earlier, how can I be urged by my father now! Rubbish! ”

In the Liangwang Mansion, Xu Ying deliberately avoided Zhuo Chen because of Zhuo Chen and Mo Shihuan's affairs, who knew that Zhuo Chen didn't care about her, but invisibly created a lot of opportunities for him and Mo Shihuan to get along.

Xu Ying didn't want to continue to be passive, so she went directly into Zhuo Chen's room by delivering breakfast.

"Cousin got up so early? You are not in good health, you should rest more, this is the eight treasures cake and assorted porridge I asked the kitchen to make, the most nourishing, cousin should eat more. ”

Zhuo Chen looked at the large plate of Bazhen Cake and felt tired, stretched out his hand and let Feiying change his clothes, and responded casually.

"I don't have much appetite in the morning, so just put the porridge down."

"Okay, if my cousin thinks it's delicious, I'll deliver it tomorrow!"

For four or five days in a row, Xu Ying came to deliver food in a different way, and every time she came, she didn't want to leave, so she had to wait until Zhuo Chen found a reason to leave.

In order to prevent being entangled again, Zhuo Chen deliberately got up early in the morning on the sixth day and hid directly in Mo Shihuan's room.

Mo Shihuan was never accustomed to this ancient routine, and wanted to sleep lazily, but he didn't ask why. Who knew that within half a moment, Xu Ying walked in, and when she heard Xu Ying's call, Zhuo Chen immediately sat down next to Mo Shihuan's bed.

Xu Ying vaguely saw the two of them through the veil, and did not enter the inner room, but asked in a low voice.

"Cousin, how did you come to her today? Today I made breakfast with my own hands. ”

"Huan'er, she is not feeling well today, I can't eat. If you're all right, go back to your room. ”

Saying that, Zhuo Chen quietly pinched Mo Shihuan's cheek, Mo Shihuan didn't know what was going on, snorted a few times, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhuo Chen glancing at Xu Ying outside the gauze curtain.

Mo Shihuan smiled knowingly, deliberately covered his stomach and turned over and over, and began to play the scheming white lotus with his heart.

"Your Highness, Huan'er's stomach hurts so much! Actually, it hurt all night, but Huan'er was afraid of disturbing His Highness's rest, so she didn't dare to say it. Don't go...... Even if you spend more time with Huan'er. ”

I have to say that this girl is clever and tight, Zhuo Chen leaned over and hugged Mo Shihuan and comforted him in a low voice.

"Don't be like this in the future, you have always been the most important person in my heart, you are unwell, I feel distressed, more uncomfortable than I am sick. Alas, it's not that you didn't know moderation when you saw delicious food last night, so you naturally felt uncomfortable. All right...... Don't be afraid, help you rub it. ”

Saying that, Zhuo Chen's hand really touched Mo Shihuan's stomach, although it was through a thin layer of fabric, he could still feel the warmth.

Mo Shihuan looked helpless, and he couldn't see the movements clearly through the curtain, so he still wanted to come to the real thing?

Xu Ying could not stand it, so she turned around angrily and left.

When Xu Ying walked away, Zhuo Chen's hand touched Mo Shihuan's waist, and for a while, Mo Shihuan couldn't stop laughing.

"Don't make a fuss! Hahaha...... It's so itchy, take your hands away! Hahaha...... Go on the scamp! ”

Wait until the two of them have had enough of playing before they get up. Mo Shihuan unceremoniously ate the pastries made by Xu Ying and couldn't help but sigh.

"This Xu Yingming is the eyeliner that King Wu stuffed over, staring at us specifically. With this move, I was going to continue to investigate. ”

Zhuo Chen sat at the table, admiring Mo Shihuan's cute eating appearance, and spoke lightly.

"Really? I think that with his temperament, he will directly find a scapegoat. ”

This guy is deliberately going against himself, right? It was openly refuted!

Mo Shihuan took a big bite of Bazhen cake and replied vaguely.

"Then make a bet and see who guesses right! The bet hasn't been thought out yet, and I'll talk about it later. Eh, don't just watch me eat, take, eat! This Xu Ying is really willing to put down the capital, they are all good things, they are good for your body, anyway, they are all here, don't eat for nothing. ”
