"Furthermore, since it is a personal jade pendant, how can it be given to anyone else? And it's even a mere servant. " Mo Qingyan lowered his head and said.
It was as if he had suffered an enormous grievance, yet he had forcefully suppressed it and refused to say it.
Long Sheng's heart suddenly clenched.
"Hand over the jade pendant!" Of course, Zhou De was the clearest in the eyes of others. As he recalled the scheme that he had not succeeded in the past few days, how could he not know what Long Sheng's gaze represented?
He then quickly walked down the stage and took the jade pendant from Mo Qingyan. Zhou De's reaction was extremely clear to everyone.
Chu Rou was perspiring profusely at this time, how could this be?
There was obviously reliable news already, saying that Mo Qingyan's jade pendant had been lost a few days ago.
Prime Minister Chu did not expect such an unexpected situation to occur, so he looked at his daughter. The sweat on Chu Rou's forehead indicated everything long ago.
But things had already come to this. Although he blamed his own daughter for devising such a scheme and hiding it from him, he would absolutely not let his daughter lose.
"Is there anything special about this jade pendant?" Or is it a place where we can clearly identify them? " Long Sheng played with the jade in his hand.
The jade pendant was sparkling and transparent, it looked like it was Mo Qingyan's skin.
It even faintly seeped the scent of Mo Qingyan's own body. If he was not in the great hall, Long Sheng would have already smelled him.
"Reporting to the Emperor, this jade pendant was a gift from this old subject when my daughter was born. Because my daughter was weak at that time, this old one has specially invited Master Qian Qing to light up my daughter's jade pendant. "
"At the outer edge of this jade pendant is carved the name of the little girl that Grandmaster Qing Qing wrote down years ago." Since Mo Wende had given this jade pendant to him, naturally, only Mo Wende knew the details of this jade pendant the best.
Mo Qingyan never thought that this jade pendant would actually have such a Legacy. No wonder he felt that this jade pendant was so strange in his previous life.
Thinking about it, at that time, this jade pendant must have already helped him survive a bloody disaster.
"Oh? "Is that so?" Long Sheng looked at the jade pendant with some surprise, then carefully observed the outer edges of the jade pendant, and indeed saw Mo Qingyan's name.
"Don't think that you can get away with it just by moving your name." Seeing that it was not good, Prime Minister Chu clenched his teeth and interrupted.
He angrily glared at Mo Wende and the expression on his face was filled with rage, "Master Terminator has already been quiet for many years, who can prove that this wasn't the jade pendant that you rushed out day after day after hearing the rumors recently?"
"Lord Prime Minister, how did you know that the jade pendant the assassin was carrying was my daughter's substitute jade pendant?"
Without waiting for Mo Wende to say anything, Mo Qingyan asked the Prime Minister Chu.
Her pair of watery eyes looked at Prime Minister Chu with some doubt, "Could it be that Prime Minister Chu understands my personal jade pendant better than the one that gave it to my father?"
Mo Qingyan said with incomparable sarcasm, and there were even some traces of ridicule in his voice.
Prime Minister Chu did not expect Mo Qingyan to once again use this matter to talk.
Her face immediately flushed red, but she did not know how to refute Mo Qingyan.
"Qingyan, you must have forgotten. A few days ago, I invited you to my house as a guest and had the pleasure of meeting your jade pendant. " Chu Rou worriedly asked in his heart as he watched his father being rendered speechless by Mo Qingyan.
"Putting aside the fact that I did not reveal my personal jade pendant that day. Even if you had accidentally seen it, when have I ever seen Prime Minister Chu? "
Mo Qingyan looked at Chu Rou, who had clearly already panicked and lost his composure, and could not help but look at him with some disdain in his heart.
Thinking about how he had been tormented by such clumsy methods in his previous life, he felt like slapping his own stupidity at that time.
"Qingyan, speaking of it, it's all my fault. That day, I saw how beautiful your jade pendant was, but I couldn't ask for it brazenly, so I came back and told my father. I insisted that my father give me an exact match. "
Chu Rou looked at Mo Qingyan with hatred. Why was Mo Qingyan so hard to deal with now?
That day, they sent someone to push her into the water, and everything went smoothly.
"Miss Chu, since you've determined that the jade pendant is mine, why don't you compare it with the one I presented to His Majesty at the same time. Then I shall look for a few of Grandmaster Qing Jing's disciples to appraise. "
"Master Jing Qing's disciples have always had a deep reputation, so they should be able to recognize Master Lin Ming's handwriting. At that time, we will know who is the real one. "
Mo Qingyan had been confident ever since he had obtained the jade pendant. Now that Mo Wende had revealed the secret on the jade pendant, he was even more confident.
"There's no need for that. Grandmaster Yan's disciples are currently the hosts of several temples and they have too many things to do during the day."
"Since you said that it's not your jade pendant, then the Prime Minister and I naturally believe you. It's just some rumors in the city, why would they gather so many people? "
Chu Rou's face was pale white. She had never imagined that Mo Qingyan's jade pendant would actually have Grandmaster Qing Ming's personal handwriting on it.
It had to be known, although Master Chi Qing had passed away, any of his disciples could already erase the blame for Mo Qingyan.
In this situation, she had to change her strategy immediately. He wanted to turn the current situation into one that was best for him.
"People often say that there is no wind without waves. "Since people from the outside world are already suspicious, this subject feels that it would be better to invite the abbot to confirm their suspicions."
Mo Qingyan instantly understood what Chu Rou was planning. It was really a joke, she did not send people.
It was fine that Chu Rou had insisted to stay on her head, but now that she said that, she decided to leave. She also wanted to leave a good reputation for herself, and at the same time, arouse everyone's suspicions towards Mo Qingyan.
These calculations were truly clanging loudly.
Chu Rou looked at Mo Qingyan's smiling yet not smiling expression. The guilty feeling in her heart caused her to quickly move her eyes away.
For some reason, Chu Rou felt that his eyes could see through everything.
"Your Majesty, my daughter is right." This old official said that he was not lying. He only needed to let any abbot take a look and he would know. There's nothing to be bothered about. "
Since his daughter was already so powerful, as a father, naturally he couldn't let her go.
Mo Wende looked at Long Sheng, then looked at Mo Qingyan and Chu Rou who were both fighting in the end, and suddenly kneeled towards the Emperor as he begged for mercy.
"Since that's the case, then send someone to invite the two nearest hosts." In the end, after considering the pros and cons, the Emperor still chose to believe in Mo Qingyan.
