The Path of the Cannon Fodder's Counterattack

Ch-8

"Ling Xiao." The Emperor called.

Ling Xiao lowered his head, "Your Servant answers."

"What do you think of their words?" The Emperor asked him.

Ling Xiao clenched his teeth. According to what he knew in his past life, not only did the Emperor detest lies, he was also highly intelligent. Since he summoned the Prime Minister, he was bound to already know the truth. However, he did not lay bare the Prime Minister's lies and only gave him a small punishment. This proved that the Emperor didn't want to make this matter a big thing, and he even promised the Prime Minister that he would keep Mo Qi. Naturally, there should be other plans in his mind.

Since he was asking him right now, Ling Xiao believed that the Emperor was merely testing his loyalty to see if he would follow the words of the Prime Minister and emphasize their innocence...

When the Prime Minister saw him by the Emperor's side, he had already thrown their relationship out by saying Ling Xiao had disappeared after Mo Qi entered the palace. Wasn't this because he was afraid that if Ling Xiao's identity as a male was exposed, it would involve his whole family? He supposed that all the people who knew the actual situation were all dead and that all of the Prime Minister's people had been changed. That Lan Wei had only bitterly allowed Mo Qi's request to bring him along to the palace wasn't known by the Prime Minister. It was only after he entered the palace that he had woken up without undergoing purification and stirred up trouble. The Prime Minister hadn't even called out Elder Lin to help handle the matter until then, so the Prime Minister's decision was clearly to ignore him and let him perish on his own.

Thinking to this point, Ling Xiao lowered his head and said, "What the two were saying isn't the truth."

The Emperor raised an eyebrow and gazed at Ling Xiao, "Then tell Us what the truth is."

Ling Xiao only had one last choice now.

"Mo Qi and Young Master Lan Wei's friendship is unusual." He said.

The Emperor pursed his lip and Ling Xiao looked up, saying, "When your servant was at the Prime Minister's household, Young Master Lan Wei was deeply attached to Mo Qi. It was very well-known in the household, but the Prime Minister did not approve of it. That jade pendant was very precious. The only reason why it was in this servant's hands is because it was originally given to Palace Woman Mo by Lan Wei. I was only able to obtain the jade pendant because I followed Palace Woman Mo."

The Emperor nodded slightly, and Ling Xiao continued, "Even though Mo Qi entered the palace, Young Master Lan Wei still thought of her, so he ordered this servant to look after Palace Woman Mo well in the palace..."

Speaking to this point, Ling Xiao carefully glanced at the Emperor's expression. Seeing that his expression was still mysterious, he was immediately more cautious.

"However, your servant knew that it shouldn't be this way and didn't want to be involved. It's just that last time, I happened to find that small Li Zi sending a letter and ran into Your Majesty. Ever since then, this servant did not dare to have any contact with Young Master Lan Wei, which is why Young Master was so surprised when he saw me just now."

The Emperor's state of mind was frozen. This small eunuch's nervous look as if he was afraid he wouldn't explain clearly was funny, but when he thought back to the love affair between Mo Qi and Lan Wei, he immediately coldly snorted in his heart.

When power is great, desires would also become great.

Ling Xiao racked his brains as he did his best to explain the details one by one, "Since Your Majesty found out about this matter, the Lord Prime Minister was anxious to distance himself from me. As a result, he said that your servant had disappeared right after Palace Woman Mo entered the palace. The Lord Prime Minister allowed Palace Woman Mo enter the palace wasn't as simple as wanting to offer her to Your Majesty, he was also after Your Majesty's imperial concubine position in the harem."
