Ji Nan quickly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
Seeing that the children were unhard, Mo Shu asked, "When did he co?"
"Afternoon."
"Afternoon?" Mo Shu turned her head, "Wasn’t I at the Martial Arts Training Field? Who brought back?"
Ji Nan’s heart sank.
No matter how much he had calculated, he hadn’t accounted for this point.
Ji Nan hesitated for a mont and said, "It was Qiao Cang who brought you back."
"Qiao Cang?" Mo Shu was sowhat surprised, "Isn’t he the bodyguard I assigned to the children? Why did he bring back?"
"This..." Ji Nan broke out in a cold sweat, "I don’t know either."
"Qiao Cang..." Mo Shu mused over the na, "Yu Cang?"
Ji Nan was startled again, cold sweat pouring out like rain.
The Princess’s associative ability... is a bit too strong, isn’t it?
Mo Shu glanced at Ji Nan, who was evidently feeling guilty not far away, her brow slightly furrowed, but after being silent for a mont, Mo Shu still said, "You should sleep."
Ji Nan, as if granted amnesty, said, "Thank you, Princess!"

When the Empress Dowager passed away, the whole court, both civil and military, knew about it.
People never forgot the relationship between this matter and Princess Mo, and to this day, the Empress Dowager’s family and her daughter, the Princess, still cannot forgive Mo Shu.
But yesterday Nangong Ruming suddenly appeared, just like pouring a basin of water into a pot of hot oil, causing an explosion!
The incident at the Martial Arts Training Field yesterday quickly spread.
The greater the commotion caused by the event back then, the more intense the spread this ti.
The Emperor received the news yesterday afternoon and imdiately sent people to collect evidence.
By the morning court session the next day, the Emperor had already received nurous morials.
Especially the Princess, who ca to the Imperial Palace several tis.
The first ti she t the Emperor, the second ti she requested to see Mo Shu, whom she had hated and opposed for years, but she did not get to see her.
The third ti she ca to the Imperial Palace, Mo Shu refused to see her aunt, using her unwell health as a reason.
The Princess was filled with remorse and even wrote an apology letter, trying to nd her relationship with her niece.
The entire court was amazed at the unparalleled disgrace Mo Shu bore, while Nangong Ruming had yet to receive a verdict and was so frightened at ho that he was bedridden.
Nangong Ruming’s father knelt in the Golden Throne Hall, tearfully appealing that his daughter had fallen ill and pleaded with the Emperor for leniency.
The Emperor rely sneered, "Your daughter is a daughter, but is my daughter not a daughter? Your daughter nearly cost my daughter her life, and she had to spend several years at the border to atone for it before returning to the Capital. Then your daughter should also go to the border for a few years of tempering!"
Nangong Ruming’s father was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he repeatedly kowtowed, saying, "Please spare her life, Your Majesty! Rung is already bedridden now, if she were to travel all the way to the border, she might die on the road!"
The Emperor sneered again, "If my daughter could go, why can’t your daughter go? Is your daughter more precious than mine?"
Nangong Ruming’s father repeatedly said he dared not, and in the end, he did not even dare to raise his head.
The Emperor, seeing this, imdiately waved his hand and said, "I have not demanded that your daughter pay with her life for the Empress Dowager’s death, only considering your years of hard work and great contributions. If anyone dares plead again, I will punish them all!"
With that, he cut off any further pleas from the Nangong family’s relatives and friends.
