176. It Was A Mistake At That Night

Who was behind this?

Han Tingxuan and Tian Yusu did not answer.

Mo Yanzhi glanced at them. “Just share your opinions.”

Tian Yusu thought for a moment and said, “Those assassins are men of sacrifice. It is not easy to train such a large number of men of sacrifice without enough financial funds and influence.”

Mo Yanzhi asked, “Do you have any suspects?”

Tian Yusu pursed his lips and looked down slightly. He didn’t say anything.

Mo Yanzhi said lightly, “It looks like you have a suspect. Just say his name. I will bestow you with no guilt no matter who you are going to suspect.”

Tian Yusu didn’t raise his head, but softly said, “Duke Guanjing.”

It was silent for a long time in imperial study before Mo Yanzhi said seriously. “You are responsible for investigating this matter.”

“Yes!”

“Uncle, you are dismissed.”

“Yes, your majesty” Tian Yusu took the order and left.

After a while, Han Tingxuan walked over to Mo Yanzhi. It was already late at night and Han Tingxuan felt sorry for him. “You have stayed up since it happened, right?”

Mo Yanzhi said, “…Yes.”

Han Tingxuan sighed. “I don’t know about Duke Guanjing. But there is another person who is an important suspect.”

“Yue Youbai?” Mo Yanzhi immediately thought of one possible man.

“That’s right,” Han Tingxuan nodded solemnly. “I suspect it’s him.”

“He and Duke Guanjing are allies.”

“Indeed, but I’m afraid it’s not easy to get evidence. I assumed that I am Yue Youbai’s target. It turned out that he is much more ambitious than I thought. He actually wanted all of these young talents to die.”

“Not all of them,” Mo Yanzhi shook his head. “Yue Youbai is the Imperial she-man of the Yue Empire. No matter how powerful he is, he couldn’t use all his forces to kill so many people in my county. What he could do is to kill some as a way of causing a chaos.”

Han Tingxuan thought about it and nodded in agreement. At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of the pictures he had seen in the crystal ball.

In those pictures, there was no doubt that he had seen Duke Guanjing and his son Tian Chuanyun. But who else?

Yue Youbai? Or more?

At this moment, he hoped that he could see more. He would at least know who was interested in the throne.

But now, even if he knew that Duke Guanjing and Tian Chuanyun were plotting against the emperor, there was no vivid evidence.

“Hubby, what are you thinking about?” Mo Yanzhi couldn’t help but ask since Han Tingxuan had been silent for a while.

Han Tingxuan came back to senses and shook his head. “Nothing.”

“Hubby…” Mo Yanzhi glared at him unhappily. “Why did Xuantian The Elderly talk to you? You haven’t told me yet.”

Hearing this, Han Tingxuan froze there. What Xuantian The Elderly said was not anything he could say.

Although his male wife knew that he was from modern world, he did not know that he had a disaster ahead or how much this world had changed because of him.

Han Tingxuan did not intend to say anything before the disaster was over.

However, if he didn’t say anything, Mo Yanzhi might not get over with it.

Fortunately, he was also his male wife besides the emperor.

Thus, Han Tingxuan said with a smile, hugging Mo Yanzhi. “Xuantian The Elderly has predicted the future of our baby.”

“Ah?” Mo Yanzhi was so not prepared for the answer.

Han Tingxuan smiled. “That’s right. You didn’t hear it wrong. He said that our baby is a son, but also a great emperor of all times!”

Mo Yanzhi’s eyes brightened up. “Is he a he-man?”

“That’s right,” Han Tingxuan smiled and kissed Mo Yanzhi’s chin. “He will be a great emperor.”

Mo Yanzhi blinked and felt awkward. “Emperor?”

“Yes,” Han Tingxuan laughed. “Didn’t we say that we would retire after our son can replace us?”

“Yes, we did, “Mo Yanzhi smiled. “I’m just happy. But why did Xuantian The Elderly tell you this?”

“This is about the royal family. Perhaps he prefers me to uncle Tian Yusu. So he talked to me instead of seventh uncle,” said Han Tingxuan with such a lame guess.

Mo Yanzhi was speechless for a moment. “That’s all?”

“Yes, that’s all. By the way, he also gave me a jade pendant and said that I should wear it all the time because it is good for my health.”

Han Tingxuan said that it was good for his health because his wellbeing was important to his male wife.

Sure enough, Mo Yanzhi immediately said, “Oh? It must be a good thing. Let me take a look. ”

“Okay,” Han Tingxuan took out the jade pendant and showed it to Mo Yanzhi.

Mo Yanzhi touched it, “It’s very warm. It’s warm jade.”

“Mmm, is it something good?”

“It is indeed. He is such a highly respected man. His gift must be valuable. Is it  a gift for first meeting?”

“Yes,” Han Tingxuan lied.

Mo Yanzhi smiled. “How did Zhou Yueqing become the last disciple of Xuantian The Elderly?”

“I don’t know,” said Han Tingxuan helplessly. “Many people even thought it was me who recommended Zhou Yueqing to Xuantian The Elderly.”

“I thought so when I heard it in the first place.”

Han Tingxuan smiled bitterly. “In particular, Zhou Yueqing is still staying in my residence. Now, I bet the Nangong family must have a problem with me.”

Mo Yanzhi chuckled. “Is that so?”

Han Tingxuan hugged Mo Yanzhi and complained. “That’s right! You have to believe me! You can’t misunderstand me like others. Otherwise, my heart should be broken.”

Mo Yanzhi smiled.

After a while, Han Tingxuan said his goodbyes and left. Mo Yanzhi then went back to the dormitory.

Han Tingxuan didn’t stay today because he was afraid that someone would come to Han residence for a meeting with him. If he wasn’t in the Han residence, it would be difficult to explain.

Surprisingly, he did a right decision. After Tian Yusu left the palace, he got a lot on his mind. Therefore, he went straight to the Han Residence.

When Han Tingxuan saw him, the first thing he thought of was Tian Yuexi.

“You just get back home?”

Han Tingxuan smiled faintly. “His majesty had a talk with me.”

Tian Yusu narrowed his eyes.

Han Tingxuan narrowed his eyes and said, “The relationship between his majesty and you isn’t as bad as you said?”

Tian Yusu was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Han Tingxuan smiled faintly. “Uncle, excuse me for asking a question that might offend you.”

“What?” Tian Yusu frowned.

“Since you like men, have you ever liked his majesty?”

Tian Yusu froze for a second and raised his eyebrows. “What do you know?”

Han Tingxuan smiled coldly. “What should I know? It is just a guess based on the conversation between his majesty and you.”

Tian Yusu pursed his lips tightly.

Han Tingxuan said coldly, “Uncle, I suppose you should remember that I told you that Han doesn’t like being cheated on. Are you even trying to be with him? As for Qingyi, find, let’s suppose he is a mistake. But what about the emperor? Do you promise that you’ve never been interested in the Emperor?”

Tian Yusu froze there and finally said. “You… What did the Emperor say?”

“He didn’t say anything,” Han Tingxuan frowned. “I caught some signals. I just doubted it. But just now, I think I am right.”

Tian Yusu didn’t believe it and looked straight at Han Tingxuan.

Han Tingxuan sneered. “Do you think you are hiding yourself well? Then let me tell you honestly. In the imperial study not too long ago, I found that there is something wrong with your relationship. Of course, I already suspected it before that. When you talked to me with an open heart, you said that the Emperor was too young, so he instinctively didn’t trust you. You said that your parents passed away at young, there were many things that you didn’t tell the Emperor. You made it sounds flawless. But it is not. It is true that the Emperor is young. But as an emperor, age doesn’t mean so much in royal family. Zhuyou already acted like an adult even though he was only two years old.”

Tian Yusu pursed his lips tightly.

Han Tingxuan continued, “So, I guess there may be other reasons. There was something wrong with you back in the imperial study. So, Uncle, now, tell me, do you like the Emperor?”

Actually, the reasons Han Tingxuan had mentioned were simply nonsense. But when he said it, he realized that it might be true.

With regards to the imperial study, there was nothing wrong with Mo Yanzhi and Tian Yusu, because he believed in his own male wife.

Besides, he did not even notice much about Tian Yusu either.

In the end, Tian Yusu was silent for a while and said, “It is not that I like him. But there was an accident between me and the Emperor. When the Emperor was fifteen years old, I was secretly drugged in the palace and walked into the wrong room… Since then, if the Emperor had no political reasons, he would have killed me… ”

Tian Yusu smiled bitterly as he said this.

Han Tingxuan was so shocked that he almost dropped his chin!

Tian Yuexi had never said anything about this!

There was no way he could talk to Mo Yanzhi about this! This was too shocking!
