C25 It was a tangle!

Sun Yingyi raised her head in surprise and looked at Zhao Mohan's back. She felt an indescribable feeling.

Originally, she thought that she was just a passerby to Zhao Mohan, but she didn't expect that Zhao Mohan would actually make a promise to help her recover her spirit.

After all, from the beginning to the end, it was Sun Yingyi who had received Zhao Mohan's kindness. If he still wanted to help her, then Zhao Mohan had not suffered a great loss.

"Thank you for always comforting me."

Sun Yingyi thanked him in a small voice. Because she couldn't see Zhao Mohan's face, she didn't notice that the corner of his mouth had slightly raised when his voice fell.

"It's fine. Have a good rest. I'll come see you in a few days."

After saying that, Zhao Mohan didn't even turn his head around. He pushed open the door and walked out. He raised his head to look at the darkening sky and felt even more annoyed. A bad premonition rose in his heart.

This feeling lingered in his heart and couldn't be removed. Zhao Mohan felt that something was about to happen.

He finally rode his horse back to the palace. Just as he was about to return to the palace to rest, he didn't expect that the inner court would rush in and say to him in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Reporting to the Third Prince, His Majesty has invited you to the Imperial Study."

Zhao Mohan was already used to the inner court's indifferent attitude. This was still considered good, and some servants could even give him a look.

It was also because Zhao Mohan disdained to argue with them. However, the faces of those people had long been deeply imprinted in Zhao Mohan's mind.

"Got it. I'll be there soon." Zhao Mohan casually replied.

Zhao Mohan knew very well that he would not be able to get anything good out of this. He stood up and sighed deeply as he walked towards the Imperial Study with a heavy heart.

On the way, Zhao Mohan's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Ever since he was young, he had rarely seen his Royal Father. In his impression, Royal Father was both familiar and unfamiliar.

His other brothers were all doted on, and they even felt that they were used to it. However, it was an unattainable matter for Zhao Mohan.

Even when he met him a few times, Zhao Mohan had never seen him in a good mood. It was as if in the eyes of his Royal Father, he, Zhao Mohan, was someone who had disgraced the imperial family.

Along the way, Zhao Mohan was already prepared to be devoured by the raging wind and the storm. However, when he arrived at the Imperial Study, he realized that even receiving a scolding was a wishful thinking.

"The sky is already dark. His Majesty has already moved out of the Imperial Study to rest. I will have to trouble Third Prince to come back tomorrow."

Under the contempt and pity of the inner court, Zhao Mohan suddenly felt that he was extremely ridiculous. It turned out that he was just a dispensable person in the eyes of the Emperor.

It was not even comparable to an outsider.

Zhao Mohan clenched his fists tightly and suppressed the anger in his heart. He turned around and left. On the fake mountain not far away, a few cracks had actually been formed by the Spiritual Force that Zhao Mohan had accidentally released just now.

"Eleven." Zhao Mohan returned to his room and called out in a low voice.

"Your subordinate is here."

Xiao Shiyi suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Mohan from who knows where.

"Go and help me check if General Sun left any information before. Also, check the people who have had conflicts with General Sun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shiyi answered and immediately disappeared from Zhao Mohan's sight.

The next morning, Zhao Mohan had already woken up from his sleep.

For so many years, he was already used to this kind of routine. When he was young, it was only so that he could seize the time to practice. He could show himself in front of the emperor and gain his attention.

However, after failing to do so, Zhao Mohan gave up on this idea. Although his heart was already dead, he still retained his habit.

In the days that followed, he would still use this period of time to study hard and practice hard. He wanted to make himself stronger so that he could prove himself to everyone and no longer be someone who was at the mercy of others.

"Your Highness, the thing that you have instructed me to do has been done."

Just as he finished washing up, Xiao Shiyi appeared in front of him and handed a stack of paper to him. "This is what this lowly servant has discovered, but it's not complete."

Zhao Mohan casually flipped through it and roughly understood the contents. He smiled with satisfaction, then said to Xiao Shiyi, "Thank you for your hard work. This is enough. Go back and rest today. Don't need to guard both sides. Remember, Nangong Feiyan must not be harmed."

"I will do as you say."

It was as if they were connected by telepathy. The two of them did not need to speak much, but they could always completely trust each other. If they were master and servant, they were more like brothers.

After Xiao Shiyi left, Zhao Mohan stood up and walked to the corner of the wall. He pushed a piece of slightly loosened brick, and then a box-sized hole appeared on the wall.

He carefully put the paper in, and then closed the secret compartment as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Mohan estimated the time of the morning, and when he finished his work, he headed towards the Imperial Study.

"Royal Father." Zhao Mohan bowed, but he did not receive the expected response.

He felt that it was a little laughable. He was clearly a prince, but his Royal Father treated him as if he didn't exist.

"Yesterday, when I came, Royal Father was already asleep, so I was unable to receive Royal Father's guidance. Today, I came here especially early to listen to Royal Father's instructions." Seeing that the Emperor did not respond to him, he could only finish his words.

However, after his voice fell, it was still silent for a long time.

"I don't know how to be polite, so I hope that Royal Father will not take issue with me." Zhao Mohan continued to make concessions.

"Hmph." Finally, a cold snort came out from the emperor's nose.

Zhao Mohan, who did not understand what was going on, did not say a word. After all, it was just a rebuke. Since he had to endure it no matter what, he might as well wait quietly. Zhao Mohan thought.

"Do you know what you have done wrong?" The emperor asked without even lifting his head. Even his voice was casual, revealing his indifference towards Zhao Mohan.

"Your son is stupid."

"I sent someone to look for you at noon yesterday, and you only came back at midnight. Where did you go? Were you in the palace? Don't you know?" The emperor suddenly raised his voice and scolded.

Zhao Mohan, who was already used to this, was not surprised. However, when he heard the reason, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. He had already guessed most of what the emperor was going to say next.

"Do you remember the rules of our Mautrem?" The emperor suddenly changed the topic.

"Your son remembers. Before the prince is established, he is not allowed to leave the palace."

Zhao Mohan lowered his head and replied. The two of them did not look at each other, and it made people feel sad.

"Then how did you do it? Cross the wall? The dignified prince of Mautrem actually did something like crossing the wall, and everyone knows about it. Did I teach you like this? You have disgraced me! How can you face your Royal Mother? "

The emperor slammed the table, and a loud sound echoed in the study room.

"I know my mistake."

If he hadn't mentioned Zhao Mohan's already deceased Royal Mother, it would have been fine, but when he mentioned it, Zhao Mohan felt pain in his heart.

The death of Consort Rou was clearly the fault of this person on the dragon throne. If he had not been able to protect her, how could she have died? From the beginning to the end, Zhao Mohan had been brooding over this matter.
