Chapter 144 Lady Ji, buried in the imperial mausoleum!
Su Mowan raised an eyebrow as she looked at Chi Yi, who had transformed into a dashing and spirited young man.
This guy is finally not a scruffy old man anymore.
Jiang Zhuo was somewhat displeased that his palm strike was intercepted halfway, but upon seeing the situation, he realized that the newcomer clearly knew Consort Su, so he frowned and withdrew his hand.
Chi Xuan's eyes lit up at first, then she shrank back.
He weakly called out, "Brother."
Tang Minzhi and Xue Ting then realized that the visitor was actually the Left Hall Master of the Xiaoyao Sect.
After stopping Jiang Zhuo, Chi Yi chuckled at Su Mowan, then turned to Chi Xuan and scolded her irritably, "All you ever do is cause trouble! If you act so recklessly again, you can stay in the Xiaoyao Sect and never come out again!"
Chi Xuan's face turned pale.
What kind of place is the Free and Unfettered Sect? If they don't let us out, how can we survive?! He immediately admitted his mistake and begged for forgiveness: "Brother, I know I was wrong! I'll never dare to do it again! Brother, you're busy, I'll leave now!"
As he spoke, he tugged at Xue Ting's sleeve and dashed off towards the stairwell.
Xue Ting and Tang Minzhi exchanged a glance, then bowed to Su Mowan and Chi Yi, saying 'Farewell'.
After the others left, Chi Yi scanned Su Mowan's body with his gaze for a few moments, and finally burst out laughing.
Su Mowan knew that this person had already recognized her, so she could only purse her lips in boredom.
"Oh my, still calling yourself Young Master Mo?"
As Chi Yi spoke, she glanced at the portrait of Su Mobai and then sat down without any hesitation.
"It's only been a few days, but you've certainly made quite a show of yourself. This must be the legendary Commander of the Snow Shadow Guard, Young Master Jiang, right?"
Jiang Zhuo was surprised that his identity was guessed so easily, and he frowned slightly.
Su Mowan cleared her throat and introduced, "Young Master Jiang, this is Chi Yi, the Left Hall Master of the Xiaoyao Sect."
"wrong."
Chi Yi glanced at Su Mowan with his smiling, peach-blossom eyes, and said teasingly, "What Young Master Chi? Didn't you always call me Young Master Yi before?"
"……cough."
Su Mowan rolled her eyes at him. Wasn't that just because they were familiar with each other? Jiang Zhuo and he weren't even that close!
Jiang Zhuo looked at Chi Yi, his eyes flashing slightly.
Could this person be another unwanted suitor? Consort Su was not only dressed in men's clothing but also wearing a mask, yet this person recognized her without any effort.
It must be because we are familiar with each other...
Jiang Zhuo was finally somewhat shocked to see three peach blossoms in one day.
Where did Consort Su go to get involved in so many romantic entanglements that even after she's been married into the Prince's mansion for so long, the Prince still can't rest easy about her!
Jiang Zhuo felt a pang of sympathy for Murong Jing.
Su Mowan knew that Chi Yi's sudden appearance was definitely not to chat with her, so she called him to the outer balcony, leaving Yinshuang and Jiang Zhuo looking wary.
After Jiang Zhuo and the others had walked a distance, he asked Yin Shuang, "What is the relationship between this Young Master Chi and Consort Su?"
Yinshuang's eyes flashed.
Jiang Zhuo was truly dedicated to his duty, far more competent than her.
"They are friends, very good friends."
Friends who can meet at a brothel late at night, how could their relationship be bad?
"Does Your Highness know?"
"Of course I know. Young Master Chi is not a key target for defense, Young Master Jiang, please rest assured."
Su Mowan led Chi Yi to the rooftop, and before Chi Yi could even stand still, she spoke first.
"Tell me what you want from me."
Chi Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise: "How did you know I needed to talk to you?"
"Does that even need to be said?"
Su Mowan turned around and glanced at him, the corners of her lips curving into a half-smile.
"I have neither fine wine nor beautiful women here, so there's no reason for you to come all this way."
Chi Yi coughed.
He deliberately frowned and said unhappily, "That's not how you talk. Who am I doing this for? I came all this way just for you!"
"for me?"
Su Mowan felt that the sun might have risen in the west.
The first time she asked Chi Yi for help, she had to show him the sect leader's token before he reluctantly agreed. The second time, she had to agree to one of his conditions to get him to help.
Silver notes were, of course, indispensable.
This time, she didn't ask anyone for a favor, but Chi Yi took the initiative to approach her.
Su Mowan's eyes darted around twice.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
"Of course it's for you. I've taken so many benefits from you before, so it's only right that I give you some extra information."
As Chi Yi spoke, his eyes gleamed as he swept them over her.
Su Mowan didn't believe his explanation.
She leaned against the railing and took off her mask: "Tell me, what do you want in return?"
"readily!"
Chi Yi rubbed his hands together, a smile playing on his lips.
"I won't go into the benefits yet. You can decide how much it's worth after you hear this news from me."
Seeing how mysterious he was talking, Su Mowan gently shook the mask in her hand.
"Okay, go ahead."
Chi Yi glanced around first, then leaned close to Su Mowan and whispered, "Madam Ji is buried in the imperial mausoleum."
Su Mowan's eyes widened in surprise.
It felt like being struck by lightning; my head was buzzing and I felt dizzy for a long time.
Who is Lady Ji?
She was the only concubine in the General's Mansion, and also Su Mobai's mother.
Su Mowan was completely stunned by the news.
No wonder that even though she had been here for two years, Su Yuandao hadn't asked her to pay respects to Lady Ji, nor had she heard that Su Mobai had gone.
She didn't even know when the anniversary of her death was.
It turns out he was buried in the imperial mausoleum!
No wonder nobody mentioned it!
Su Mowan suddenly recalled the change in Emperor Moyao's attitude towards her, and the fact that Su Mobai and Murong Jing seemed to be interacting quite frequently. There seemed to be something going on here…
Nothing!
Could it be what she's thinking?!
Su Mowan shuddered, terrified by her own thoughts.
She quickly tugged at Chi Yi beside her, her face serious, and asked, "Is your information reliable?"
Chi Yi was also startled by the changing expressions on her face, and instinctively shuddered when she was suddenly pulled.
"Absolutely reliable! Do you need to doubt my abilities?"
Su Mowan's fingers, which were holding the mask, trembled slightly, and her face was very solemn.
Chi noticed that something was wrong with her expression and patted her shoulder with concern.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't you be happy? Why the expression?"
In Chi Yi's view, knowing where her mother was buried should have been a cause for celebration. But the problem was that once Su Mowan thought about it more deeply, she couldn't be happy at all.
Su Mowan was slightly sobered up by his slap.
Then, her eyes flashed, and she asked urgently, "Have you checked my mother's identity?"
"Not this one."
Chi Yi's eyes flickered slightly, she shook her head, and then looked surprised: "Didn't Su Mobai tell you?"
Su Mowan didn't want to hide it from Chi Yi, so she confessed, "My older brother has never mentioned it to me."
"Should I check again?"
Chi Yi sought her opinion.
Su Mowan's eyes darkened, and she said in a deep voice, "Investigate!"
We have to investigate, if what she thinks is true...
