“This official had yet to marry after many years because my heart still cared about her.
When I saw that she was in danger while the emperor was busy appeasing the officials and his consorts, this official went to rescue her first.
After this official rescued her, this official discovered that she was doused with an aphrodisiac.
In the end, we had no choice but to go over the boundary of what was proper.”

Mo Linyuan continued listening to him.
It was unknown whether he believed what Wen had told him, but he allowed Wen to continue to speak.

When Wen saw that Mo Linyuan remained silent, he couldn’t help but sigh in sorrow.

“His Majesty should know what happened later.
When this official brought the empress back, this official discovered that the late emperor’s expression was a little off.
Combined with the consorts adding oil to the fire, the late emperor became even more suspicious of us.
It was a pity that the Wen Family was too powerful, so he couldn’t do anything to us.
As a result, he could only take his anger out on the empress.
The empress suddenly fell out of favor and naturally became depressed.
However, this official made a promise with her to forget everything that happened in the forest.
For the sake of her family, she could only conceal everything.
It didn’t take long for her to discover that she was pregnant.
She was pregnant with you, Your Majesty.”

Then, Wen smiled bitterly, “At first, this official had doubts too.
Later I asked her if the child was mine, but the empress insisted that she drank contraception soup after she returned to the palace, so that the child was definitely not mine.
She said that you’re from the royal bloodline.
After that, this official severed all my impractical feelings for her.”

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence.
Mo Linyuan closed his eyes.
No wonder he was never favored by his father when he was a child.
The reason the late emperor had already looked at him with suspicion was because of this event.

He had no evidence to support his doubt, and he was unable to touch the Wen Family.
Even when Mo Shiwen still held power, he was already a good-for-nothing.

“It seemed like you really loved my mother based on what you had just said.” Mo Linyuan tapped the stone table with his finger, “So that’s why you helped the empress dowager plot against Mo Shiwen.
I heard from her that you only wanted my royal mother in exchange for helping her.”

As Mo Linyuan said this, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, “So, it seemed like it was you who actually caused the death of my royal mother.”

Wen’s face instantly turned deathly white!

He explained in a panic, “Mo Shiwen was unable to protect her!”

Because he was in a hurry to explain himself, he forgot to address Mo Shiwen as the late emperor, instead directly addressed Mo Shiwen as Mo Shiwen.
“Mo Shiwen does not have the ability to protect her.
Had she left the palace with this official, then she would’ve lived!”

Mo Shiwen said coldly, “I just want to know if you bullied her after Mo Shiwen doused her with medicine after he sent her to your bed!”

“I..!” This was the first time Wen addressed himself as “I” instead of “this official” in front of Mo Linyuan.
The expression on his face was gradually turning ugly.

Mo Linyuan sneered after he saw the expression on Wen’s face.
He stood up and said, “At this point, you still want to say that her death has nothing to do with you? I don’t care whether you really love her, or did you merely want to possess her because you are not qualified to love her.”

Just as Wen wanted to open his mouth to say something, Mo Linyuan waved his sleeve abruptly.

“That’s enough.
Now that I know everything that I want to know, I will not keep you here any longer.
Prime Minister Wen, it’s quite late now.”

Wen didn’t get up immediately.
He secretly clenched his fist and hesitated for a moment before he asked, “Your Majesty, why did you ask about this?”

Mo Linyuan looked at him and replied, “You are not qualified to ask me this question.”

After he finished speaking, Mo Linyuan got up and left.
Shortly after he left, Wen also got up and left.
When Mo Linyuan turned a corner, he was suddenly stopped by Ye Mu.

She looked at him with a strange expression on her face, “What are you plotting?”

Mo Linyuan was shocked by Ye Mu’s sudden appearance.
He didn’t have the calm and indifferent expression he had when he was in front of Wen.

“Did you hear everything? Did you eavesdrop on us?”
