C27 [Understood]

In the face of success and plans, these were just passing clouds. For the sake of accomplishing her goal and protecting Nangong Feiyan, no matter who it was, Sun Yingyi could be ruthless.

However, Sun Yingyi did not understand why such a rumor would spread in the capital. Could it be that someone was willing to replace her as the daughter of a sinner and die for her?

Therefore, Sun Yingyi decided to ask Zhao Mohan for an explanation.

However, Zhao Mohan usually came to find her, and his whereabouts were also very elusive. If she were to go to Zhao Mohan, she really did not know how to do it.

However, she knew that it was impossible for her to do so.

"I'm not going to school today. I want to take this opportunity to study and go back first."

Sun Yingyi stood up, patted the dirt on her body, and said goodbye to Xiaolin.

After returning to the house, she began to think of a way to meet Zhao Mohan.

If she were to rush to the palace gate, not only would she not be able to see Zhao Mohan, she might even get into trouble.

However, she was still unable to use the Spiritual Force proficiently, nor could she easily control the palace like Zhao Mohan. Besides, even if she went in, she was unfamiliar with the palace and would definitely not be able to find Zhao Mohan.

Just as she was at a loss, a figure appeared behind her. A slender shadow landed on the table in front of her.

"What are you thinking about? Why do you look so distracted?" A familiar voice came from above Sun Yingyi's head, scaring her so much that she turned around.

Zhao Mohan's familiar face appeared in front of Sun Yingyi again. At this moment, Zhao Mohan was different from before. He was smiling, as if he had encountered something joyous. His usually firm face also added a hint of gentleness.

However, at this moment, Sun Yingyi could not laugh. She stood up and faced Zhao Mohan fearlessly. She asked fiercely, "You still have the nerve to say that? What is the matter with the rumors about me?"

At this moment, Zhao Mohan acted as if he did not know anything and asked, "What are you talking about? I don't understand." He raised his eyebrows and pretended to be innocent.

Sun Yingyi did not believe him at all. She had been with him for a long time, so she knew a little about him.

She did not say anything, but stared straight at Zhao Mohan.

Seeing that Zhao Mohan was also looking back at her, Sun Yingyi tilted her head and took another step forward, unconvinced. "Sun Yingyi fell off the cliff and died. Other people don't know the details, but you don't?"

Sensing that the distance between the two of them was getting closer, Zhao Mohan had a playful feeling in his heart. He also took a step forward like Sun Yingyi. He bent down and looked at Sun Yingyi. The distance between the two of them was only two fingers. The warm feeling in his breath was clear.

She originally wanted to retreat and widen the distance between the two of them, but she was firmly restrained by Zhao Mohan, who was in front of her.

"Are you not satisfied with this now? Since Sun Yingyi is dead, you have become free. Who knows what Sun Yingyi looks like? Even if you are a daughter, no one will recognize you, not to mention that you are a man now. No matter where you go in the capital, no one will doubt your identity."

Zhao Mohan smiled and said to Sun Yingyi as if he was praising her.

Although his words were reasonable, Sun Yingyi still felt that something was wrong.

Sun Yingyi was dead. Although she knew that this was not true, she still felt that it was strange.

"I'm not dissatisfied, but I feel that it's a little strange."

Zhao Mohan had made it clear that the benefits he had received were not enough. If Sun Yingyi did not relent, it would be said that she had taken advantage of him. Sun Yingyi pouted and lowered her eyes.

"So, did you really do this?" She looked into Zhao Mohan's eyes and asked.

"I have never denied it." Zhao Mohan smiled, as if he was satisfied with his masterpiece.

"But when I asked you just now, you didn't admit it either. Besides, you never told me about this plan."

At this moment, Sun Yingyi did not know what she was feeling awkward about.

"I only made this plan a few days ago. Besides, isn't it good to just sit and enjoy the fruits of others' labor? You can sit in the courtyard and enjoy the fruits of others' labor." Zhao Mohan did not understand Sun Yingyi's current mood.

"It's not like that. It's just that the matter happened too suddenly, so I'm not used to it yet."

Zhao Mohan caressed Sun Yingyi's hair with a doting expression. "Isn't it the same for me? The Imperial Court is searching for your whereabouts everywhere, so they have no choice but to do this."

As for the reason behind this matter, Zhao Mohan did not plan to tell Sun Yingyi.

After all, if he said this out loud, he might be able to gain Sun Yingyi's gratitude. However, if Sun Yingyi knew the truth, she might not be able to forgive him.

"Right, they said that... Sun Yingyi's corpse has already been sent back to the capital to be dealt with. That corpse can't be..."

A bad guess began to spread in Sun Yingyi's heart. She was worried that Zhao Mohan would involve some unrelated people into this matter. If Zhao Mohan really hurt innocent people because of this, she might not be able to forgive him no matter what.

Zhao Mohan was smart, so he naturally knew what Sun Yingyi meant. He stretched out his finger and tapped Sun Yingyi's forehead, comforting her, "That person is just a prisoner who has just been sentenced to death in the prison. Anyway, he will be sent to the Unmarked Common Graves anyway. It would be better to use her corpse. It can be considered to have helped her."

Only then did Sun Yingyi calm down.

"From today onwards, this waist tag is yours. If you want to enter the palace, you can just walk through the palace gate. If someone stops you, you can just say that it's someone by my side. You can come out of the palace to do your business."

Zhao Mohan took out the waist tag from his pocket and handed it to Sun Yingyi.

Sun Yingyi held the waist tag that still had a warmth to it and asked in confusion, "Why do you want to give me a waist tag? If you have something to do, you can just look for me."

"If you have something to do, you can find me with this. Isn't that good? You don't have to be like what you did just now, where you could only stare blankly at me." Zhao Mohan explained, "From today onwards, perhaps I won't be able to leave the palace often. You will have to use it."

Zhao Mohan looked at the sky outside the window. Before Sun Yingyi could ask, he told her, "Anyway, you are now free. You don't have to be too cautious when doing things. It's not early, so I still have something to do. I can't stay here for long."

After separating with Sun Yingyi, Zhao Mohan returned to the palace. Before he had time to rest, he went straight to the Imperial Study.

However, before he could even take a step in, he was stopped by the inner court guard at the door. "Third Prince, please wait."

Zhao Mohan stopped and looked at the inner court guard. He did not say anything and waited for his reply.

"Your Majesty is currently discussing political matters with the ministers. Third Prince, please wait. After His Majesty finishes his discussion, you can go in."

Zhao Mohan's status in the palace was just like this.

Although there were rules in the palace that the princes were not allowed to participate in politics to prevent them from usurping the throne, if it was any other prince, they would not be stopped like this.

However, Zhao Mohan did not care about this. He nodded and went to the side room to wait until the inner court came to inform him before he went back to the Imperial Study.

Zhao Mohan entered the Imperial Study and prepared to report the results of his meticulous planning to the Emperor.
