"There's no need to ask; it must be related to Commander Mo Qi," Zhuo Junli saw through the matter with a piercing clarity. He could even deduce Leng Shuqing's intention to murder the Crown Prince, so the trivial concern of Leng Muling was transparent to him at a glance.
However, he did not know what aspect of the forthright and honest Commander Mo Qi could be causing Leng Muling such unease.
Looking at Leng Muling's swollen red eyes, it seemed the matter was not a trivial one.
Leng Muling sniffled before she asked Zhuo Junli, "Uncle, you have known the emperor for many years, do you recognize a woman named Hong Lian?"
Zhuo Junli hissed in a breath, "Hong Lian, there is indeed such a person..."
But her fate was not a good one; why had Leng Muling thought to ask about her?
