Chapter 77: Unable to Defend Oneself

The guard took a quick glance, then quickly stood up and walked up to Mo Litian. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, there's no one here."

Seeing this, Lin Chunhua instantly breathed a sigh of relief. That damned Zhao San! Fortunately, he was smart!

Hearing this, Mo Litian gave Lin Chunhua a nonchalant look and said indifferently, "Let's go."

Seeing this, Lin Chunhua didn't dare to say anything more and quickly followed Mo Litian out.

Du Juan, however, gave Lin Chunhua's room a thoughtful look before closing the door and leaving.

Who would have thought that when she returned to her own room and was about to take a short rest, she saw a man standing in her room. A smile immediately appeared on her face. "Sir, have you gone to the wrong room?"

Zhao San looked at the pure and innocent beauty in front of him, a curve forming on his lips. He stood up and pulled her into his arms. "I came here especially for you. What? Don't you want to serve me?"

Seeing this, Du Juan's smile deepened. She coyly said, "Of course I'm willing."

Seeing this, Zhao San's smile became even broader. He flipped over and pinned her down on the bed.

Liu Rumei was sitting in the yamen. Looking at the stars that had appeared in the sky at some point, a bit of weariness appeared on her face.

Ye Zhe brought some food over at some point and handed it to Liu Rumei. "Miss Liu, please."

Liu Rumei smiled faintly. "Thank you."

Xiao Heyuan also laughed heartily. "Sure enough, if you follow Miss Liu, you'll have food to eat. I even forgot I haven't had dinner."

Liu Rumei glanced at the three of them. Seeing Si Xi's eyes shining slightly, she helplessly shook her head. "Let's eat together."

Seeing this, Si Xi subconsciously glanced at Ye Zhe beside her. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she then sat down contentedly. "Thank you, Miss Liu."

Ye Zhe watched her cautious look and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

At this time, Xue Zhan walked in with a bitter face. Looking at the four people in the room, he shook his head and said, "I've been busy with His Highness the Crown Prince until I'm exhausted, and you guys are having a good time! Si Xi, quickly pour me a glass of water!"

Zhang Yan, who was following behind Xue Zhan, was also extremely tired. "This guy is too cunning. He managed to escape again!"

Liu Rumei immediately sighed. Looking at the food on the table, she instantly lost her appetite.

"The man can't just disappear without a trace. He must still be in the capital."

Xue Zhan also nodded. "That's true! As long as he's still in the capital, I'll catch him sooner or later!"

Seeing the two of them exhausted, Si Xi didn't know where she found two more sets of chopsticks and added them to the table.

A flash of a smile appeared in Xue Zhan's eyes. "It's the first time in so long that I've seen you being so considerate!"

Si Xi immediately pouted. Before she could say anything, she saw Mo Litian walking in with the flower girl.

Xiao Heyuan quickly whispered something in Xue Zhan's ear. A playful smile instantly appeared on Xue Zhan's face. "This is quite interesting."

Liu Rumei also put down the chopsticks in her hand and walked towards Mo Litian.

Si Xi was holding the small bowl in her arms. She looked at the food on the table and then at the direction where Liu Rumei was. She couldn't help but sigh. Wait, sister will come and enjoy you guys later.

Ye Zhe, who was following beside her, saw the look on her face and the corners of his mouth turned up again.

When the flower girl saw Xue Zhan, she quickly bowed. "I've seen Lord Xue!"

Xue Zhan said with a smile in his eyes, "Flower girl, you don't need to be so polite. It wasn't me who invited you here today, but His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Lin Chunhua was slightly taken aback, but then she nodded with a faint smile. Her eyes immediately fell on Mo Litian. "I wonder what questions Your Highness has? It's late at night now, and the Flower Full Building is very busy. It can't do without me!"

Mo Litian's gentle voice slowly came out. "I just want to know why you killed Mu Dan?"

Lin Chunhua was stunned again. Then she smiled and calmly said, "I don't understand what Your Highness means. Mu Dan was one of the four golden flowers under me and the pillar of the Flower Full Building. What good would it do me to kill Mu Dan?"

Xue Zhan watched Lin Chunhua's calm look and couldn't help but pick up a cup of tea and hand it to Liu Rumei beside him.

Liu Rumei took it with a faint smile. Her eyes fell on Lin Chunhua again. This woman is either really not involved in this matter or she has made full preparations!

Mo Litian was still unhurried. He still said indifferently, "In the entire Flower Full Building, besides Mu Dan, Hai Tang, Du Juan, and Tao Yao, only you have the Five - Stone Powder, and you have the most of it!"

Lin Chunhua's expression remained unchanged. "Your Highness is joking. I do have quite a bit of Five - Stone Powder in my hands, but I'm also afraid of causing a human life, so I only give out a little each month. As for Mu Dan, her death has a great impact on my business. Why would Your Highness suspect me?"

"Mu Dan knew about your affair with Zhao San, so she threatened you. To prevent any accidents, you added the Five - Stone Powder to the petals that Mu Dan's maid, Cai Die, used to make the cardamom, which led to Mu Dan's poisoning and death. Am I right?"

Mo Litian's eyes were full of coldness. For a moment, Liu Rumei seemed to see Mo Liandi's shadow on him!

Thinking of Mo Liandi, Liu Rumei couldn't help but frown. Right now, Mo Yun is very on guard against him. Without Ye Zhe by his side, will something happen to him?

Lin Chunhua was suddenly shocked, but the smile on her face didn't diminish at all. "Your Highness is joking. The petals used for the cardamom were all bought by me from the perfume shop in the east of the city, and some were picked from the backyard of the Flower Full Building. They passed through so many hands. Who knows who added the Five - Stone Powder? Just because I have the Five - Stone Powder in my hands, does that make me the murderer?"

A smile appeared on Mo Litian's gentle face. "But right now, you're the most suspect, aren't you? Those petals all passed through your hands, and you have quite a bit of Five - Stone Powder in your hands. You're the most likely person to have poisoned!"

Lin Chunhua smiled charmingly. "So, it seems that I can't defend myself no matter what I say?"

The smile on Mo Litian's face didn't fade. "If you're really innocent, I'll find out the truth and clear your name. But for now, you'll have to stay in the yamen."

Lin Chunhua's expression changed slightly. Looking at the smiling Mo Litian in front of her, she knew that it was useless to say more now. She could only grit her teeth and nod. "I dare not disobey Your Highness the Crown Prince's order."

Mo Litian sneered and then said to Xue Zhan, "Send people to the Flower Full Building and search every room!"

Xue Zhan nodded and respectfully bowed to Mo Litian. "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing this, Liu Rumei also quickly followed.

When they arrived at the Flower Full Building, two guards came up to them and told them in detail what had happened when Mo Litian took Lin Chunhua away. "That man must still be in the Flower Full Building!"
