Chapter 197 The Jade Pendant Matter Is Getting a Solution

Although Shen Zhe didn't understand what Mo Yuchen meant, he followed his instructions and didn't tell Mo Yuanli.

"Where is the prince consort?" Mo Yuanli woke up late and did not see Shen Zhe. She turned her neck and asked the maid who came to serve her.

"The Prince Consort went to Prince Luo's Mansion today."

Second brother? In that case, Shen Zhe should be back soon.

"Your Highness, Prince Consort Shen has been waiting for a long time." Zhou Wenrui was in the mansion today, and he was the one who personally met Shen Zhe.

Mo Yuchen nodded, and Mo Yuxuan followed behind him, a little confused: "Second brother, Shen Zhe is here too?"

"Yes." Mo Yuchen's expression seemed a little solemn, "Wenrui, send someone to guard the study, don't let anyone get close."

"Yes."

"Second brother." Shen Zhe had been waiting for Mo Yuchen in the study room for a long time, but he didn't expect that Mo Yuchen would also come. "Why is Yu Zhan here too?"

Shen Zhe immediately realized that there must be a big problem since Mo Yuchen called them here today.

Mo Yuchen sat down with a gloomy face and said, "Xiao Li doesn't know you're here, right?"

"When I left the house, A-Li was still asleep."

"That's good." Mo Yuchen was relieved. "I called you here today because there is something I must tell you."

"My struggle with Prince Yuan is about to come to light," Mo Yuchen has almost figured out the situation now, "The flood in Jiangnan this time is a signal."

Mo Xuanxuan and Shen Zhe were shocked.

"Has it started yet?"

"Yes." Mo Yuchen did not shy away from saying, "Prince Yuan has taken my jade pendant. The Ministry of Revenue cannot provide money for the flood in Jiangnan and the imperial examinations this time."

"Jade pendant?!" Shen Zhe and Mo Xuanxuan were shocked again.

Fortunately, Shen Zhe was a little older and soon calmed down: "Second brother, what are you going to do?"

"Use the trick to your advantage."

Mo Xuanxuan didn't understand: "Second brother, have you told father about this?"

Mo Yuchen shook his head.

"How do we tell Father about this?" Shen Zhe's face also turned serious. "Father's attitude has always been wavering. Besides, Father may not be unaware of this."

Mo Yuchen nodded: "Father has noticed it and is investigating the matter."

Mo Xuanxuan looked at the two men in shock.

Shen Zhe was silent.

"You guys stay put for now and wait and see what other tricks Prince Yuan has." Mo Yuchen had already made plans for the future. "I might be imprisoned later. You guys protect yourselves outside."

"Second brother, do you need help?" Shen Zhe did not respond to Mo Yuchen's words, but stood up without hesitation.

"No need. Xiaoli is still raising the child. Xihe Mansion should not interfere for the time being." Mo Yuchen shook his head and refused.

Shen Zhe smiled: "Second brother, don't you know A-li yet? If she knew that you were in prison, I'm afraid that even mother wouldn't be able to stop her, and she would rush to the Dali Temple to save you by herself."

"That's right, second brother!" Mo Xuanxuan finally recovered, "We must help you!"

Mo Yuchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will hide it from the public inside, but I need you to help me investigate some things outside."

"Brother, just say it."

"The jade pendant was stolen this time by a traitor close to me, but I haven't found out who this person is yet." This is what Mo Yuchen is most worried about. "And the jade pendant was given to Yanyan by me a while ago. This person is extremely cautious, and we haven't caught him despite our precautions."

"A traitor?" Shen Zhe and Mo Xuanxuan didn't understand why Mo Xuanchen, such a cautious person, would have people sent by Mo Xuanyang around him.

"Yes, this person is among He Yuan, Wen Rui, Lin Yue, and Cao Ju."

It turned out to be someone who had followed Mo Yuchen for many years!

"Although I don't understand how they have been hiding around me for so long, there must be some evidence in Prince Yuan's hand. We can start from these aspects."

Shen Zhe obviously had an idea: "In this case, this person must have had some dealings with Prince Yuan. Don't worry! We will definitely find out for you."

"By the way, the Right Prime Minister..." Shen Zhe was not sure whether Mo Fuchen had informed Tu Song. If Mo Fuchen was suddenly imprisoned in the court, the Right Prime Minister would also have to be prepared.

"I have already notified them, everyone please stay put for the time being." Mo Yuchen has already prepared a fallback for the Tu family, so there will be no impact on them for the time being.

"it is good."

"Apart from these, after I go to jail, there will be no one to take care of the Ministry of Revenue. Shen Zhe is the son-in-law of the emperor, and he only has a title in the Ministry of Revenue but no real power. My father will definitely find someone to temporarily manage the Ministry of Revenue." In fact, this is what Mo Yuchen is most worried about.

Once Mo Fuchen leaves the Ministry of Revenue, Mo Fuyang will definitely find a way to arrange people in there. After Mo Fuchen is imprisoned, he will definitely not be able to get out for a while. What's more, whether Mo Fuchen can get out depends on Mo Cheng's attitude.

Shen Zhe was silent now.

"Otherwise, I'll go?" Mo Xuanxuan grew up under the protection of Concubine Su and Mo Xuanchen, but he stood up at this time.

"Second brother is gone, and Shen Zhe can't go, so I'm the only one who will go. I'll go and tell father." Mo Yuxuan seemed to have great courage at this moment, and he spoke with full confidence.

Mo Yuchen and Shen Zhe looked at each other: "Are you sure? You are my confidant, will King Yuan agree?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Mo Yuxuan replied confidently.

"That's the only way." Mo Yuchen nodded. That was the only way.

"As for Xiaoli, Shen Zhe, you need to keep her steady. Be more vigilant towards the people around you, and don't let anyone with ulterior motives take action against Che'er."

Shen Zhe nodded: "Or, I will find a way to tell Mother and send Ah Li to the palace now. With Mother watching over her, nothing should happen."

"That's a good idea." This is a good idea. When Shen Zhe is working outside, he doesn't have to worry about Mo Yuanli who is alone in Xihe Mansion.

"Creaky!" A slight sound came from the door.

"Who?!" Mo Yuchen reacted immediately.

What's going on? Didn't he order someone to guard the door?

"Your Highness, there is some progress regarding the jade pendant." The person outside the door was Zhou Wenrui.

Mo Yuchen and the other two immediately exchanged glances and became alert.

"Come in."

Zhou Wenrui pushed the door open and came in: "Greetings to the two princes, the prince consort."

"Let's get down to business!"

Zhou Wenrui looked at Mo Yuchen, then at Mo Yuxuan and Shen Zhe.

Mo Yuchen frowned: "Speak."

"Yes." Zhou Wenrui bowed and saluted, "I have found out that someone from Prince Luo's Mansion appeared in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion on the day the jade pendant was stolen."

"Someone from Luo Wangfu?" Mo Yuchen pretended to be surprised and asked, "Have you found out who it is?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was useless and failed to find out who it was."

Mo Yuchen frowned, looked at Shen Zhe, and was silent for a while.
