The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Jin Emperor
"So you think so. " Mister Mo's face is back in seriousness. Having previously been shocked to find out the true origin of Gaia.
" Of course, that's just my conclusion. I don't dare say it's the truth or not. " The young girl sipped the pre-prepared tea. 'Tawar'.
They were discussing Yaner's death. After judging and observing Gaia, master Mo was convinced that this girl in front of him was intelligent. And it was evident from the conclusion he had just heard. At first master Mo was not sure that he would discuss this matter with her, considering that he had not lived in the Mo residence for long. But it turns out he was able to conclude an event even with limited information.
"Concluding an event is like pulling a thread from one point to another." He put his tea cup down. With a calm face, Gaia reopened her voice. " I wasn't sure at first either, but after hearing the story from Madame Mo that Yaner was sick shortly after the king gave his engagement to her and the first Prince, my suspicions began to appear. Especially when he insisted on hiding his death. Perhaps he wanted to lower the vigilance of his enemy. " Gaia was silent for a moment, then her calm face changed. He frowned, "It's just that I still don't understand, all of Yaner's actions, like he knew that there would be people who would replace him. I mean what the next step would be if I didn't show up. Wouldn't the news of his death be known as well. "
"At least it won't be known until my investigation is complete. I already know some of the people involved, too many hands in this case." mister mo's expression turned sad. "Even until my daughter's death, I still can't figure out the suspect in this case. "
"If you may know, what poison they used on Yaner. Why is it that almost no healer can cure him? ".
" Soul-devouring poison. The type of slow poison that so entered will be directly absorbed by organs in the body but does not flow in the blood circulation. So when we do a blood test.... "
"we won't find anything. " Gaia cut off Mr. Mo's explanation.
Master Mo nodded, "right."
'the one who did it was really cunning.' Inner Gaia.
" Yao will tell you all about Yaner. Next week we will return to the capital. I hope you're ready. And regarding the origin and secret of snowy. "mister Mo looked at the white cat who was laying down his body on the other seat beside Gaia. "I will keep it a secret. So if you need anything, just tell this 'your father. "
Gaia and master Mo smiled.

πΈπππππ πππππ’πππ,
The man with the dragon robe and crown on his head was sitting with a scroll in his hand.His eyes focused on scanning every word on the parchment.
"ahem..Wangshang*" The eunuch beside the man who turned out to be an emperor was giving a reminder signal to his master.
"What's Eunuch Liu? " The emperor's eyes still remained focused on the scroll in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Prince Rui is still waiting for your permission to meet."
"Rui er is still here?.Please let him in then. "
Eunuch Liu immediately followed his master's orders. Being too focused on his report, he forgot that his eldest son had been waiting to meet him. The emperor laid down his parchment, his hand turned to take the cup in front of him and take a sip.
His face was handsome, similar to that of his father. It's just that their nature is opposite. If the father has a relaxed, but firm nature, different from Sima Rui who is cold and does not talk much. That's why he got the nickname 'the ice general'. Having a handsome face would of course be a value more, let alone coupled with position, and treasure. It makes a lot of women want it. But because of his cold attitude, the women chose to retreat before launching his attack. They don't want to end up losing their face because of the embarrassing thing they're about to get. Once, a daughter of one of the ministry officials who had a very beautiful face desperately approached her and tried to crawl up on her bed by giving Sima Rui a stimulant drug. But in the end it became a master's eating weapon for him. The girl was dragged out of Sima Rui's room wearing only thin clothes that could barely cover her body, then left her at the palace gate. A lot of women have since found out, not just cold. Sima Rui was also a ruthless person. For giving the girl a punishment worse than death. Maybe because it was big on the battlefield made him look at both men and women. For women, such humiliation makes them feel better to die, than to have to endure shame. While the girl's father, although he was a Minister of the kingdom but could not do much. He knows what his daughter did. He also knew very well the nature of Sima Rui. Therefore he chose to sacrifice his daughter instead of offending Sima Rui. Because the stupidity of his daughter almost made him lose his position and support in the palace. Now, the girl has been sent to her hometown. But as most people think, the girl has actually been dumped by her family.
The emperor watched his son. 'Handsome as I am, but why is his nature not like mine. This trait is cold like Xin er.' The Emperor could only complain inwardly.
Fu Xin, the Emperor's wife, Huang Guifei, and Sima Rui's mother were notoriously cold and talkative. Because of her nature, many think that she is a cruel concubine. But quite the opposite. He is considerate and kind to those who 'deserved' get it.
The Emperor nodded in greeting to his son. "Is there anything you want to report? "
" right. Reports have just been received from the border region with the bar-bar tribe. Our troops managed to repel them. So in the meantime they won't launch an attack."
"Good." the emperor smiled with satisfaction at his son's report. "My son's good work." the emperor's smile turned into laughter, causing eunuch Liu to shake his head slowly at his master's behavior.
" In that case, Ananda let her down first. "
When he turned around, the emperor stopped him. "wait. There are things I want to discuss with you, Rui er. "
"What is father? "
" It's about your engagement to Mo Yincheng's daughter. On your mother's birthday, I plan to invite her to the palace. What do you think Rui er. " The Emperor was curious as to what answer this cold son would give him.
" Ananda will follow whatever the father arranges. It was just that, instead of minister Mo's daughter, she was said to be seriously ill and was at the Mo family's resting place in Jianjing city. "
"I just got word from Yincheng, that they'll be back next week. It seems like her daughter's health has improved." The emperor gave a pause before continuing his words. " Do you know the reason why I gave this engagement to Ruier? "
Rui's expression still seemed calm tend to be flat when answering the father's question. "If ananda had not misjudged, other than because master Mo Yincheng was the father's friend and fulfilled the will of the late emperor, this was also a plan to avoid 'they' efforts to gain the support of my military power. "
"That's right. Regardless of your grandfather's will, even though Yincheng was my best friend. If any other minister is sincere with this Kingdom without pursuing power. I'll definitely consider it. Unfortunately you know for yourself what the situation is. If it wasn't for the power of the empress back then, maybe I wouldn't have been able to maintain this throne until now, and let those greedy people make the Jin people suffer."
" The decision of the father is correct. "
Emperor Yang heard his son's reply could only sigh, "Rui er. Don't you mind your father's decision at all. Don't you have the girl you love. "
