Mo Xiao Li saw the person being restrained and walked a few steps to Mu Junqi, asking, "How is it? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. Has he been captured?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zuo Yunqing threw the bound man in front of them. The man was forced to kneel on the ground. When the mask was torn off, they saw that he was quite a handsome young man, with a fair and clean appearance.
However, at this moment, none of that seemed important. Mo Xiao Li stepped forward and asked, "Who sent you here, and what is your purpose?"
The man sneered and then looked at Mu Junqi, saying, "I came here to kill you, but since you caught me, do whatever you want. I have never feared death!"
Hearing his words, Mo Xiao Li smiled and approached him, saying, "I know you are not afraid of death, but if I were to kill Consort Qian, would you still be so calm?"
Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure and replied, "That's the emperor's business; how could I possibly know?"
Behind them, Mu Junqi suddenly laughed and said, "If you're willing to tell the truth, perhaps we might spare your life. But if you refuse to speak, do you believe I can make you disappear without a trace right now?"
After a pause, he continued, "I forgot to mention that the reason we caught you is that someone tipped us off. You must be curious about who did it, right? Well, I'll tell you—it was that girl Yun Ruo. You should know who she is."
Upon hearing Mu Junqi's words, the man's face turned even uglier. He then said, "Your Majesty, everything was planned by Consort Xi. Servant was merely assisting; I am definitely not lying."
After he finished speaking, Mo Xiao Li asked, "How can I trust what you say?"
"You may not believe Servant, but Consort Xi truly wants to kill the Empress. Her goal is to become the Empress. If you don't believe me now, don't blame Servant for not making it clear later when you regret it."
Just then, Li Fusheng approached and bowed to Mu Junqi and the others before saying, "Your Majesty, Yun Ruo has come with urgent news."
Mu Junqi exchanged glances with Mo Xiao Li, then said, "If you're unwilling to believe it, just listen over there and you'll find out."
After a while, Yun Ruo was brought in, looking panicked as she said, "Your Majesty, I just heard that Consort Qian is planning to send someone to attack the Empress, so I came to inform you of this matter."
"Well, it's fortunate to have you. Otherwise, This Palace wouldn't even know what kind of situation would arise," Mu Junqi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yun Ruo's expression did not change; instead, she respectfully replied, "This is what I should do. You only need to know that all of this is Consort Qian's doing."
"Yes, This Palace understands. You may leave now and continue to keep an eye on things. Understood?"
After hearing this, Yun Ruo bowed and withdrew. Once she left, the man was brought out and he said, "Everything that happened today will be revealed by the Servant. However, none of this was Consort Qian's intention. I hope Your Majesty will not blame Consort Qian when the time comes."
"As long as you speak of what you know, the rest will be decided by me."
The man had no choice but to say, "Previously, His Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned during the Full Moon Ceremony because Consort Xi ordered Yun Ruo to add poison and made everyone believe that it was the Empress's doing. Of course, this misunderstanding was also due to what Lord Xia Ziqian said at the time. Originally, it was thought that once the Empress entered the Cold Palace, everything would end. But not long after, you brought the Empress back and restored her position, which made Consort Xi very angry."
"So she sent people to continue watching Qinxiang Garden. However, this time it wasn't so simple; they directly sought to assassinate the Empress. But several times it was avoided. Still unwilling to give up, she came up with that method and then sent someone to deliver this news to Consort Guifei. This way, she eliminated suspicion. However, no one expected that it would lead to such an incident. If the previous plan had gone through, it would have been to take the Empress out of the palace and make everyone think she had eloped with someone else."
"I never expected she would die like that. At that time, I thought the Empress was really dead; little did I know she had been taken away. You already know what happened afterward."
Everyone was shocked upon hearing his words; they never imagined it would turn out like this—how ruthless a woman could be. Mu Junqi listened and then asked, "So how do you know all of this?"
"That's because I participated in several instances as a Servant; that's how I came to know these matters. Originally, I wanted to conceal this issue well but didn't expect them to be so vicious as to stab us in the back. That's why I didn't reveal this matter."
Mo Xiao Li looked at him and said, "In that case, you should know who is responsible for all of this. If you want to save Consort Qian, you must cooperate with me well. Understood?"
"As long as I can save Consort Qian, you can ask me to do anything."
"Very well then; from now on, pay close attention to every move of Consort Xi. If there are any abnormalities, report them to me immediately. Understood?"
"Well, Servant Understood."
Mu Junqi also responded, "In that case, you may leave."
Thus, Zuo Yunqing released the person in front of everyone and watched him leave. Mu Junqi then said, "Now everything is under our control. This way, we have the opportunity to catch them all at once."
Mo Xiao Li immediately said, "That's right. No one will do those cruel things anymore."
The two exchanged smiles, and then she said, "The main thing now is to uncover their conspiracy, which is also for the sake of the people."
.....
At this moment, Consort Qian saw the returning person and thought she had succeeded. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed his expression was not good and anxiously asked, "What happened? Were we discovered?"
"It’s not that we were discovered; rather, we were betrayed by Consort Xi. Servant clearly saw Yun Ruo from Consort Xi’s side go to the Empress’s palace and tell her about this matter, which led to increased security."
Upon hearing this, Consort Qian's face turned extremely ugly. She took a few steps back and incredulously said, "So does the Emperor suspect us?"
"The Emperor has completely believed Servant's words and has instructed Servant to keep a close watch on Consort Xi. This way, we won't be kept in the dark."
After listening to this, Consort Qian smiled and looked into the distance, her eyes filled with malice.
