After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 137 He Lied to Him for the First Time

"Test?" Yan Mobai smiled slightly, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness.

"What are you trying to test, Your Highness? I have already made it very clear to Your Highness that she is not King Kang's person, but someone King Kang wants to kill. I have guaranteed it with my life, haven't I?"

Prince Ning sighed.

"Yes, you did promise, but Mo Bai, our great cause cannot afford any mistakes or omissions."

"At this point, the fight for the Eastern Palace is no longer just a fight between me and you. I have so many people behind me, so many of them have entrusted their lives to me. You know how heavy the responsibility on my shoulders is."

"As the saying goes, one wrong move can lead to a complete loss of everything. I will not be the only one left with no chance of survival! I must be extremely cautious."

"Heroes are often tempted by beauty. Throughout history, countless heroes have been ruined by beautiful women. Were they not smart? They are all very smart, and none of them is greedy for beauty. But when love enters the heart, it is inevitable that it will be blinded."

Prince Ning spoke earnestly.

Yan Mobai curled his lips again.

The corners of his lips curved up, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all.

"In the final analysis, Your Highness simply does not trust me."

"It's not distrust, it's caution!"

"Weren't you also very careful to keep it a secret from me? When you asked me for the poisonous bone, I asked you who the poisoner was, but you refused to tell me and only said that you were a very important person."

He himself guessed that it was that woman.

Since it lasted for three years, it must be related to King Kang.

It was easy for him to think of that woman.

First, we learned that King Kang sent a Taoist priest to make a black snake appear in the sand. Later, we learned that at a spring banquet, someone replaced the "Spring Flowers Picture" with the "Guan Gong Conquering the Dragon Picture".

All the information was given by that woman.

Also, just as Yan Mobai went to Jiangnan, that woman went to Jiangnan with Yan Changjing right after.

In Jiangnan, the woman also rescued Ge Mingshu's daughter and facilitated Ge Mingshu's surrender.

Although these things are all beneficial to them, it cannot be ruled out that the other party wants to gain their trust first.

"I didn't say who it was because I felt it was not important to Your Highness and you didn't need to know." Yan Mobai said.

King Ning withdrew his thoughts.

"Why isn't it important? It's related to you and King Kang. It's important to me."

"Besides, I just wanted to test her by exposing her to King Kang to see how they would react. I didn't expect what happened next."

"If it were you, could you have predicted what happened next?" asked King Ning.

Yan Mobai looked at him.

"I did not expect this, but I believe that Your Highness should be very clear that exposing her to King Kang is to put her in danger. I have said that she is the person King Kang wants to kill."

Prince Ning was speechless for a moment.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I think that as long as it is proven that she is not a spy for King Kang, I will protect her. Even if she is someone King Kang wants to kill, she is already by your side. With my ability and your ability, you will not be unable to protect even one person around you."

"Did you protect it in the end?" Yan Mobai asked him.

Prince Ning was speechless again.

For a moment, no one spoke.

The room was terribly quiet.

After a long while, King Ning spoke: "I was wrong in this matter after all. I should have discussed it with you first. I was afraid that you would disagree."

"I cannot possibly agree to this." Yan Mobai replied in a cold voice without any hesitation.

Prince Ning looked at him.

This is the first time I see him with this attitude.

This was the first time he showed such resentment towards him.

Prince Ning sighed softly.

"I didn't expect King Kang to be so audacious and cruel. I am sorry for you. I owe you my life."

Hearing the last sentence, Yan Mobai's eyes narrowed slightly.

This sentence is so familiar.

He had said something similar to him once.

Once upon a time I was still young.

This prince, who was only two years older than him, appeared in his miserable life like a god.

He said this to him when he was about to be pulled out of the endless abyss, given a chance to live, and when light was about to be torn out of his dark life.

He said: From now on, my life belongs to Your Highness.

Swallowing the bitterness in his heart, Yan Mobai said: "My life belongs to your Highness. Your Highness doesn't owe me anything. You owe her."

Prince Ning was speechless.

What you owe to a dead person can never be repaid.

Thinking of the dead, Prince Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Anyang's death really has nothing to do with you, right?"

"It has nothing to do with it." Yan Mobai replied.

He lied to him for the first time.

Finally, he asked Prince Ning: "Your Highness, do you doubt me?"

"No, I'm just asking. I trust you."

King Kang's behavior yesterday inevitably made him suspicious.

He was also wondering, could it be that the one who died was really Anyang's maid, and not that woman?

But he also felt that Yan Mobai's grief and anger at the scene did not seem to be fake.

He understood him and knew that people like him would not be so careless unless they were in extreme pain.

He ignored the emperor in front of him, the righteousness between the monarch and his subjects, the fact that he was just a brother-in-law, and moral ethics.

But he was still worried.

So after the court session, he came to the marquis's mansion.

Judging from Yan Mobai's appearance, he obviously had not slept all night.

If his pain and hatred in the palace during the day were just an act, then after returning home, he didn't need to act anymore, yet he was still so haggard.

This means that he was overthinking.

The one who died was that woman.

And Yan Mobai's attitude towards him today also illustrates this point.

He'd never done this to him before.

He knew very well that Yan Mobai blamed and resented him for designing that woman to enter the palace, but due to the friendship between them, Yan Mobai endured it.

The Ministry of Justice's autopsy room.

The Minister of Justice Liu Yongning and the Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate Yu Wen were on the scene and personally watched the coroners from both sides examine the charred corpse.

Because it was so burnt, not much information can be verified.

No matter from the teeth, bones, body shape and other aspects, it is impossible to determine whether it is Ning Pan or Lingdang.

Because both of them meet these requirements.

"My Lords, this should be the first time the deceased had sex, because although her private parts were broken, there was still some membrane left. There were only new wounds, no old marks." The experienced and wise coroner gave a report after the examination.

Yu Wen was overjoyed.

"This piece of information is very important. Ning Pan and Ling Dang, one is married and the other is single. The former has been married for such a long time, and the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion is known for his promiscuity. It is impossible that he has never touched such a beautiful woman before. Does this mean that this person may be Ling Dang?"

Liu Yongning shook his head and ordered the people beside him to go to the case and get a copy of the documents.

Handing it to Yu Wen, "This is the confession of this year's top scholar Yan Kunpeng during the Princess Anyang case. The eldest son of the Marquis's mansion had his penis... snapped off."
