Chapter 266: Where is my seventh Brother
Chapter 266
Just as Mo Jiuye was anxious to urge the Fourth Princess to speak up, a trace of reluctance and conflict appeared in her eyes, and she took the initiative to speak.
"I want to talk about the whereabouts of Mo Yuance, the seventh young master of the Mo family."
Upon hearing this, both Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran expressed astonishment.
They had considered that it might be related to the male members of the Mo family, speculating it could be the eldest or second brother, but they never expected it to be the seventh brother.
Regardless, the whereabouts of any brother was equally important to Mo Jiuye.
"Fourth Princess, where is my seventh brother?"
At the thought of Mo Yuance, the Fourth Princess's heart bled.
When she was fourteen years old, Mo Yuance served as the commander of the imperial guards in the palace. She happened to see him once and was attracted by his resolute and handsome appearance.
The Fourth Princess knew that she would have to embark on the path of a political marriage in the future, so she never dared to have any extravagant hopes for Mo Yuance.
Unexpectedly, she encountered Mo Yuance again by chance.
The reason was that her pet parrot, which she had raised for many years, suddenly got frightened and flew away. She chased after it with the palace servants, but the parrot flew too high, and they could only see its silhouette without being able to catch it.
At that moment, a robust figure leaped high like lightning and effortlessly caught the flying parrot.
Mo Yuance calmly returned the parrot to her and then left with a bow.
The Fourth Princess already had an extremely favorable impression of Mo Yuance, and after the incident with the parrot, she couldn't forget about him.
She secretly mentioned this matter to her mother, but her mother dismissed it because of Mo Jiuye acting as a tutor for Nanqi, thinking that the Mo family was aligned with the third prince, and she directly crushed her hopes.
Moreover, as the legitimate princess of Da Shun, she was destined to enter into a political marriage. Even if her mother agreed, her father would not allow it.
Since then, she could only keep Mo Yuance silently in her heart and not dare to have any improper thoughts.
The gu master was cautious and couldn't fully trust a Fourth Princess of Da Shun. If he were to hand over Seventh Master Mo to the princess, she had to agree to one condition."
"What condition?" Mo Jiuye asked eagerly.
The gu master said that the princess must willingly accept his gu. If she were to do anything that went against his wishes, the gu inside her would torment her.
In order to keep Seventh Master Mo close to her and take care of him, the princess readily agreed to the gu master's condition.
Later on, as promised, the gu master delivered Seventh Master Mo to the princess's side, becoming her personal guard.
Unexpectedly, this incident aroused suspicions from the Crown Prince. He couldn't believe that the princess, who harbored such hatred towards the Mo family, would willingly accept someone placing a gu on her.
Not only that, the princess lost the child in her womb because of the gu, and when these two incidents were combined, the Crown Prince believed that Seventh Master Mo held a higher position in the princess's heart than himself. As a result, he constantly sought to torment the princess, leading to her current fate of being exiled to the Palace of Exile."
Listening to Lan Er's explanation, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran roughly understood the situation of Seventh Brother. At this moment, they couldn't spare the time to carefully consider the princess's true motives but were eager to know the whereabouts of Mo Yuance.
According to Lan Er's words, Seventh Master Mo has become the personal guard of Fourth Princess. He must be nearby.
However, when they just arrived here, apart from two maids, there was no sign of any guards at all.
"Where is Seventh Master Mo now?"
Lan Er truly didn't know about the whereabouts of Mo Jiuye. All she knew was that ever since the princess was brought here, Seventh Master Mo was taken away by the Crown Prince's men.
Lan Er couldn't answer this question, so she could only look at Fourth Princess lying on the bed.
Since they had come this far discussing the matter, Fourth Princess had nothing to hide.
"He is in the dungeon of the Residence of the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye intended to go to the dungeon to find Seventh Master Mo. He had just pulled He Zhiran to turn around when he was stopped by Fourth Princess.
"Wait, you can't go and save him."
Mo Jiuye didn't understand. "Why?"
