Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 328 The Young Minister of Dali Temple

"I'm looking for my lord..."

"What joke is Lord Liuyun making? If you're looking for a prince, you should go back to the Mo Prince's residence. Where would we, the Duke's mansion, have a prince?"

Zisu interrupted Liuyun with a smile, winked at him, and said, "If Lord Liuyun is thirsty, why don't you go to the side hall to rest for a while? I'll have someone make you a pot of tea."

Liu Yun scratched his head and said helplessly, "Well... alright, thank you, Miss Zisu. My lord just asked me to pass on a few words to Miss Li. It's nothing important, so it's fine for you to pass it on, Miss Zisu."

"Alright, sir, please come to the side hall for a chat."

A side hall of Wangyue Pavilion.

Zisu personally brewed a pot of tea for Liuyun.

Liu Yun held the cup but didn't dare to drink. After observing carefully for a moment, she said, "Miss Zisu, may I speak now?"

"Speak." Just now, outside the Moon Gazing Pavilion, how could Zisu dare to speak carelessly?

"Miss Zisu, is the Duke's mansion... not safe either?" Liuyun knew that every courtyard and mansion had some spies, but she thought that the Duke's mansion, being indifferent to worldly affairs, would not attract much attention.

But now I realize I was being too naive.

"Now that the Dragon Protection Token is in the hands of our young master, there are naturally more troubles in the Duke's mansion. I dare not say whether the mansion is safe or not, but the people in this courtyard were carefully selected by the young lady, so it is always safer than outside the courtyard."

Zisu's words relieved Liuyun: "Then... can I see my prince?"

Last night, Jing Lei said that the prince was injured but did not say so. After leaving with Miss Li, there was no news of him. However, Jing Lei had important matters to attend to, so he came by himself.

He was with the royal army last night and didn't have a chance to get close to the prince, so he doesn't know how badly the prince was injured.

Jing Lei didn't know either. It's said that the prince didn't say anything, but only gave him instructions to carry out.

"Miss Zisu, my lord..."

Zisu glanced at him: "Do you think it's up to a lowly maid like me to decide whether the Prince wants to see you or not?"

Liu Yun was troubled again and couldn't help but scratch his head.

Zisu was both amused and exasperated by his actions.

In fact, she had the same question in her mind as Jing Lei: how was this guy able to stay by Prince Mo's side for so many years without being kicked out by the prince?

But after thinking about it, Zisu seemed to understand.

He always had his own unique strengths, which made the prince unable to let him go.

"My lord, there's no need to worry. My young lady has been taking care of him. The prince should be fine, he's just resting now. He'll return once he's rested enough."

Zisu didn't know the extent of Prince Mo's injuries, but when she brought the food in, she did see the prince lying unconscious on the bed.

An injury that can put the Great Demon King to sleep must be no small matter.

But she firmly believed that with the prostitute around, everything would be fine.

But Zisu and Liuyun didn't expect that before the prince woke up, they would receive the worst news—the third uncle of the Prince of Mo, Qin Jianye, had been arrested by the Dali Temple and was now being held in Dali Temple.

The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review has come in person to invite the Prince to the Court of Judicial Review for questioning.

"Miss Li, how is the Prince doing now?" This time, it was Jing Lei who came in person.

Upon receiving the message, Chu Yueli went out to greet him, but Lu Beimo was still asleep.

Chu Yueli frowned and asked, "Is the current Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review the same Ye Huai'an, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet? The same Ye who single-handedly overturned the entire imperial examination fraud case in court?"
